'IHE FIRST OF SEVERAL
 SCHOLASTIC GAMES
No Admission Will be Charged This Afternoon at Eastake Park.

There will be no admission charge to the baseball game today between the Phoenix High school and the Lamson Business college teams, which will be played at Eastlake park. This was the announcement made by the managers last night. It had been decided at first tO admit all high school pupils and charge the other enthusiasts but it was finally thought best to throw wide the open door and let any and all come who wish to free.
 The mines are not in it any way for any monetary consideration but sim4 ply for the sport and to settle the dis puted championship of the schools in this neck of the woods. There is enough good natured rivalry between the two teams To make the issue inter- esting. The Lamson boys will probably some of them have a little the best of it in experience and age but the High school team has been coached and are in good trim. The High school nine

MELBOURNE, Aug. 2s.-The Amer

after an uneventful voyage from Sgd
ney.
After passing Port Philip heads at
1920 o'clock this morning the ships
shore and vast excursion fleet over
the entire thirty miles to the anchorage
grounds
The weather was beautiful warm
sunshine having taken the place of the
lowering clouds which early in the
morning seemed to indicate dreary
day for the welcome of the fleet, for
which Melbourne has made such lavish
preparations.
Turning the headlands and pointing
their noses toward the city, the vessels
of the fleet were greeted by so Queens
Cliff fishing boats, gayly befiagged, and
the British cruiser Psyche, which
doomed a welcome of 13 guns and
dipped its flag to the Connecticut, which
was in the van. simultaneously there
belched forth from the American flag
ship an answering salute and her flag
at the fore was dipped to the union
jack.
The procession up the bay was a
stately and gorgeous one, the gleam-
ing white hulls of the American yes
sells against the background of green
wooden shores making beautiful spec
tacle. The fleet was 16 minutes pass
ing A given point as 1T steered in ac-
curate alignment toward the city.
Shortly after the Connecticut
anchored Rear Admiral Sperry and his
staff came ashore and paid an official
visit to Hon. Sir Reginald A. J. Talbot,
governor of Victoria. who soon after
ward returned the visit aboard the Con-
necticut.
Melbourne today is a city of waving
flags and bunting. The populace is en-
thusiastic over the arrival of the ships,
and all indications point to a most en-
joyable visit.

WILL GASTON ASHE
CONTEST DIVORCE?
Attorney for Wife Threatens
Big Scandal if Proceedings
Are Instituted

Whether CASTOR Aslle, the prominent
clubman and society light whose wife,
Mrs. Dulce Bolado Ashe, sued him for
divorce on the grounds of nonsupport,
cruelty and infidelity. will contest the
suit or not was the question which
buzzed over tea tables and in drawing
rooms of the social set around the bay
yesterday.
The attorneys for Mrs. Ashe thought
he would not, and Ashe had up to last
night made no move to show his hand.
He was silent on the matter.
I'VE have heard of no effort on his
part to contest the suit, said the at
torney representing Mrs. Ashe yester-
day. AS an after thought he added ::
And we do not very much care if he
does We have more than sufficient evil
dence to win, and If he wants to fight
we'll 1t will be unpleasant, but we are
confident of our success.
In her complaint Mrs. Ashe left out
specific details regarding her charges
of infidelity. This, it was declared,
was for the sole purpose of keeping
out the names of a number of women
prominent in army and social circles
If Ashe contests the suit the proba-
bilities are that the names of these
parties will be made public and the
light thrown on scandals hitherto alb
solutely unsuspected.
Ashe was in San Francisco yesterday
but took no definite action in regard to
the suit. Society now awaits his move,
wondering what the outcome will be-
