Few Star Plays.
There were few star plays back of the

locals stand up to their work throughout
the nine innings without a wobble some
thing that seemed impossible in the early

bats captured high foul, and Otis Clymer

seventh inning, making the third out, with
Ferris resting on third base.

up for the lost single.
The twirlers worked so effectively that
for four innings neither side could get
runner over the rubber. After setting the
Pilgrims down in order in the fifth. the Ma
tionals got busy with their sticks and sent
the first run of the game over the plate.
Jack Warner led off with splendid double
into right center, and Shipke laced clean
single into left. Warner was he'd up at
third by Capt. Ganley, as it was thought
better to play things safe. this put two
on the sacks with none out. Smith laid
down a neat sacrifice. sending Shipke to
second while Morgan threw him out at
first. Once more did Ganley hold up War
ner on the safe-play idea. Oberlin then
sent high bounder over Morgan's head.

curate throw to Criger, and Warner was
cut off al the plate. Clyde Milan then
broke into the limelight with clean single,
and Shpke lost little time busting out for
home.

In the sixth. the Pilgrims came back with
the one run that tied up the score, and 1t
was their dying effort of the day. Morgan,
the first man up, famed, but Barrett soak

Sullivan followed with roller to right that
appeared easy for Delehanty, but it kept

the plate in the eighth inning. Oberlin had
died on a fly and Milan had famed. when
Ganley walked to the plate and worked
Morgan for a base on balls. Bob started

FOREIGNER TALKS OF AMERI-
CAN FARMING.

Wltold lllakowicz, a young Polish
nobleman. accompanied by his wife,
Helina, visited the experiment station
at the State College Monday in quest
of information relative to agricultural
methods employed in the UnitedStates.
The young man is the proprietor and
manager of a 5000 acre estate near
Warsaw, Poland. and is now on a tour
of the world. In the course of his
travels through the United States he
has visited many of the experiment
stations in the east and west gathering
information on advanced methods of
agriculture (which will be applied as
far as possible to conditions existing
in Poland. From Pullman Mr.. and
Mrs. Illakowicz go to Spokane, and
then to San Francisco, which city they
leave on the 9th of August for Japan,
via the Pacific Mail Steamship line.
The return to Poland will be made
over the Siberian railroad. through
Siberia and Russia.
"In business, said Illakowicz,
"you Americans are wonderful. The
energy of your people is remarkable,
and the wealth--ah, we have not that
in Poland. But you are very wasteful.

wasting on your farms until your

not understand this. In Poland, it
would be impossible. Eighty bushels
of wheat to the acre in Poland is a
good crop; sixty bushels is pretty
good; forty is poor, but below that it
would be a national calamity. Here
they say that forty bushels is a good
crop, and twenty five is fair; yet you
have the finest soil in the world for
wheat raising.
In Poland we pillow our land not
once, but three times, and again if
needed. On a farm of twelve hundred
acres, would employ at times hun

COMMUNICATED.

A few have withdrawn their sub
scriptions from the reading room,
giving as reason that it is doing no
good. The men who have made
these statements are those who have
never been inside the room If these
men heard the words Of appreciation
we hear, they might change their
minds. The reading room was start
ed because of long felt want, as
there was no place in Pullman where
young man could feel welcome to
spend a few leisure hours in a whole
some atmosphere. During the col
lege meets last spring when so many
young men visitedIour town, great
many visited the reading room, ex-
pressing great appreciation at hav-
ing such a place to while away the
time. They said that they did not
know what they would have done
had it not been for the reading room.
One OF the summer school students
visited the reading room and said
three Of her former pupils would at.
tend college here next year and that
she was glad that there was such a
place for them to spend their leisure
time.
When taking subscriptions for the
room, gentleman said to US that he
knew what it would mean to the har-
vest workers, as he said that he had
been one himself and had gone TO
towns when he could not work and
had no place to go but the saloons.
There are students at present, but
there are many working men who
take advantage of the room and we
are glad to have place of this kind
for then.
We are keeping open all day Sun
days for their benefit, and they are
there ready to go in before time to
open in the morning.
AS only two men subscribed over
$l.OOa month for support of the read
ing room, it cannot be very great
burden to any one. | wish to say
that if any one circumstances have
changed and they are not able to con-
tinue their subscription, they should
not give as a reason that it is not do
ing good, for If investigated it will
be found groundless. 1t has and is
fulfilling its mission for which it was
intended. -,
