PLAY FINAL MATCHES
M. H. Petit and e. L. Grant Win Trop-
HES on Links at the Country CLUB

The final matches in the Indepen-
dence Day handicap were played on
the links of the Kenosha Country Club
on Saturday afternoon, M. H. Petit
defeating Malcolm Kehlor for the first
flight trophy and E. L. Grant winning
from c. w. Allen in the second flight.
Petit had an easy victory over Kehlor
defeating him five up four to play.
The Grant-Allen match was one of the
best of the year on the links and the
winner established a record as an up
hill player. At the eleventh green
Grant was four down with seven to
play and he managed to make the
match all square on the seventeenth
and won out on the last green. Allen
played good golf and had chance to
halve the last hole, but his missing an
Is inch put proved fatal and Grant
took the hole and the match.

Kenosha Cricket Team Defeated
by RorIiCks of Racine in a
Match Saturday
FRANTZ LEADSLOCAL PLAYERS
Racine Players Play in Great Form and
Have Little Trouble Defeating
Their Opponents Other Games
Scheduled

The opening of the Wisconsin Cricket
League-season took place ON the grounds
of the Kenosha Cricket Club on Satur-
day afternoon when the Kenosha team
met and was defeated by the Horlicks
OF Racine by score of Al to 20. The
Horlicks had their old time strong team
while the Kenosha men were forced to
put in a number of new players and the
team was weakened slightly on this
account. On account Of the extreme
heat and the fact that the game was
started late in the day, only one inning
was played, but this was sufficient to
demonstrate the fast playing of the visi-
tors Casterton led the visitors with a
score of nine runs, while Frantz was in
the lead for Kenosha with a score of 5
runs.
1T is announced that the Kenosha
team has arranged for a game with the
Wanderers of Chicago to- be played on
the local field on the afternoon of Labor
Day.
The games in the Wisconsin League
series have been arranged and Kenosha
will have the usual number of games
during the season. The score of the

A FALSE STATEMENT.

The State OF Michigan is bank
rupt and the primary school money
cannot be paid" That is the state
ment that is being sent over the
state. evidently under the direction
of the democratic state central COM
mittee. There is not even a shadow
of truth in the statement. The cash
balance In the state treasury last Sat
urday night was $1,6SS.342.42. The
November primary school apportion
ment will be made as usual and ev-
cry dollar of the amount due TO the
primary school fund will be prompt
ly RENTED to the county treasurers.
Not dollar has been borrowed by
the state treasurer, nor will borrow
ing be necessary in order TO meet
state expenditures 1t would seem to
be an unworthy cause in more re-
spects than one that would need the
assistance of such absolutely false
statements concerning Michigan and
the interests of our state as are now
coming from democratic sources. The
fact, however, that not one word OF
truth is possessed by the statements
will bring far more loss than gain TO
the sources from which they come.

tire republican state ticket. Not only
has Governor Warmers administration
been helpful to them directly, through
a lower tax rate, an increase in pri-

railroad fare, the better freight ship
ping facilities provided, but all the
important measures for the peoples
interests that have been the especial
fruits of Governor Warmers service
have made him the favorite of the

FIGURES THAT LIVE.
Interesting Lecture on Mathematics by
Miss Effie Graham

OF uncommon interest, both to
members of the teachers profession
and the laity, was the lecture given by
Miss Effie Graham before the county
teachers institute at the high school
auditorium Wednesday morning on
the subject of Living Arithmetic -
You may think, if you didn't hear
Miss Graham, that "figgers" couldn't
be interesting to anybody except a
mathematician, but although Miss
Graham has natural genius for
"math," the science is so real to her
that she can make it real to people
to whom the subject has always been
as dry as dust, and who have forgot
ten what little they ever knew about
the binomial theorem and the square
of the hypoteneuse. Miss Graham's
lecture treats of the origin and de-
velopment of arithmetic applied to the
vita1izing Of its present day teaching.
1t is illustrated with more than forty
lantern slides prepared by the lectur-
er. The humorous side of the history
of mathematics is illustrated by origin
al sketches and the tables and other
technical illustrations are all original
The entire conception is novel and the
lecture is entertaining throughout
Present day problems of arithmetic
are compared with the old time prob
lem, showing the close relation Of the
history of arithmetic to social and DO
litfcal history and illustrating the lee
turer's interesting theory of mathe-
matics as a living science. developing
with the race and rejecting the
changing aspects of human life al
most as wildly as the arts. The lee
ture might wei 1be given the subtitle
''The Romance OF Mathematics"
Miss Graham is the head of the
department of mathematics at the
high school and Is an officer Of the
Kansas Society of Mathematics. She
is one of the cleverest women in Kan
sas and is an unusually facile and en-
tertaining public speaker.

new YORK ATTACKED.
Invaders Win an Advantage I'm Mimic
Warfare.

New York. June 18.@The ATTACK
upon New York city by a supposed
foreign enemy which has been 90
eagerly awaited for several days by
the regular and national guard troops,
engaged in mimic warfare IN the forts
was begun in earnest today. The first
onslaught brought partial victory to
the invaders, who fell upon Fort Han
cock at Sandy Hook by sea and forced
that stronghold to capitulate almost
before a shot had been fred. Then,
with the outer forttfcations effectually
silenced the "enemy's fleet" started up
the channel toward the city in the face
of a whitening fire from Forts Hamil-
ton and Wadsworth.
The great ten and twelve inch guns
at the forts opened fire while the
fleet was miles away, and an imagfn-
ary storm of shells went sweeping
down the bay. In the vicinity of the
forts the din was terrific and even
miles away the roar of the great guns
could be heard.
It was at the very height OF this
warlike storm that hundreds of immi-
grants got their first sight Of this
western land from big Cunard
steamer that steamed up the bay. As
she came within sight of the forts her
decks were swarming with passengers,
who looked and wondered at the
demonstration, which they might easi-
1y think was intended for them Alone.
