BOG. JAMES
DID It AGAIN

Another victory in the ninth in
ming. The score was Spokane 5,
Seattle 6. yesterday when the ninth
started. Hulen and Clynes were
on the sacks. Then Bobby James,
who won the game on Sunday.
came up. He smashed it SO hard
that it would have been going yet
but for the fence. Hulen and
Clynes sailed and Bobby laid off
on first base, for the game was
won and over. Score: Spokane Z,
Seattle 6.
These ninth inning finishes are
heart breakers. Several people
complain about not being able to
go twice in succession for fear the
excitement would prove too much.
Killilay's twirling yesterday was
up to his average good. work, and
he had the big batters of Seattle
on his staff. He gave eight hits,
struckout 10 and walked two.
Paddy Welsh gave eight hits,
struck out seven and walked five.
Teddy Roosevelt is slated to
pitch for Spokane today, and II
he can't control, Jensen. whose
twisted ankle is back in place
again, will be sent in.

the drug. Before the pharmacy
board opened it's crusade, white
women, once they had acquired the
habit, found 1t easy to gain access
to the more luxurious dens of
Chinatown.
Today, for the first time in the
history of San Francisco, it Is i'm
possible for them to obtain opium
from any Chinese dealer.
1--WE have triumphei over the
sinister influence of the Chinese
so far as the effect OF the traffic
in opium affects San Francisco's
white population" says Whilden.
I'VE have protected the white
women, the young boys and girls.
This has been accomplished by
using a corps of opium eaters and
smokers as detectives. We have
more than a dozen of well known
victims of the habit on our staff.
These people, men and women,
discover the opium resorts and we
then follow up their work with the
aid of the police"

courtship, but when it comes to
where the lover is supposed to muir
muir those fateful words, Dearest,
| love you. Be my wife," she Is
about as voluble as the sphinx.
Perhaps the reason for this Is
that men so seldom ask woman
outright to marry them. And as
the woman's ideas of what pro
posal should be are largely drawn
from impossible romances she feels
, that there is something lacking

she knows who Is going to live in
that fiat with him.
| once asked 10 year old girl
how she thought a man ought to
propose to a woman. He should
take her in his arms and tenderly
kiss her. lips and brow and cheek.
Then, in low tone. trembling with
suppressed feeling, he should whis-
per close to her ear: 1 can't live

That is quite thrilling. isn't 1t?

page on which that proposal took
place. The scene called for a dim

And that's about as near as most
women ever get to the proposal of
the novelist's Imagination.

HAVE GREEK WANTED
FOR MURDER

The police have received tele-
gram from Chicago containing the
information that George Thonus, a
Greek, who is wanted here for
murder, has been captured in that
city. The only case in the recol-

partment is that at Colfax, more
than year ago, when three Greeks
killed and robbed a countryman. A
letter containing the circumstances
surrounding the arrest is expected.

cantixatinu a Queen.

It was by his graceful execution of
dance that young Hatton first capti-
waited the heart of Queen Elizabeth,
SAYS Edward Scott in his book on
Dancing In All Ages" He had been
brought up to the law and entered
court, as his enemy, Sir John Perrot,
used to say, "by the gaillarde," as his
first appearance there was on the occa-
sion of a mask ball, and her majesty
was so struck by his good looks and
activity that she made him one Of her
band of pensioners, who were consid-
cred the handsomest men in England.
It Is said that the favors which the
virgin monarch extended to her new
favorite excited the jealousy OF the
whole court, especially that Of the Earl
Of Leicester, who, thinking to depre-
ciate the accomplishments Of the
young lawyer, offered to introduce to
Elizabeth's notice professional dancer
whose saltatory performances were
considered far more wonderful than
Hatton's. To this suggestion, however,
the royal lady, with more vehemence
than elegance, exclaimed: "Pish! I

Chess and War,

The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is little doubt, how
ever, that it's birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring of a game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia
and thence into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took it into Spain and the
rest of western Europe. The game
was in all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art of war.
The Arab legend upon this point is that
