BASEBALL HATH ITS PERILS WORSE THAN SAVAGE FOOTBALL

''As Is usual at such a time" says the Cornell Sun, football is now es- corted to the bar of public opinion to be judged as a sport that Nero miss ed a relic of barbarism and sundry other characterizations of an unsaYory variety by some. and recognized by others as a clean. healthy. man mak- ing sport despite It's clement of dan ger. From our own fair campus the sage of McGraw neglects the feeding of his pet chimpanzee to cry out against the barbarian of football. fur nishing a copy for the metropolitan papers and by his extravagant state ments as a member of the university faculty laying Cornell open to un- bounded ridjcule.
 Football oa account of its specta- cular play and the apparently great danger to the players has in many quarters achieved a most enviable re putafion. a reputation which has been foatered not only by cranks and mol lycoddles but almost as often by in- telligent men led astray by the mo- toriety continually given to accidents on the gridiron Baseball. on ths other hand.

The last stragglers of the northwart migration do not reach their northern home before the early part of June. but in July the south ward setting, tide has begun again, The number of birds that make up this mighty wave almost passes com prehension.

The shooting took place in front of
the Journal office.
W1lmertOn stood In the office door,

Looney emptied his revolver,

was on the way back when he was
arrested. His wound, which is in

The men first quarreled a year ago

In the house of representatives a

this accusation having been made
openly in the house by Representa-

Mr.. Rainey further stated that the
evidence he produced in support Of
his charge of graft in connection with
the buying of the canal, nearly all was
obtained from Panama. Then he
added:
"The attack l made was entirely
unexpected and the next attack I
make upon these gentlemen will be
Just as entirely unexpected by them
when it comes"
Mr.. Burton (Ohio) elected Repub-
lican applause when he rose to reply
to Mr.. Rainey.

that there should be such childlike,
such careless abandonment of the
rights of this country as to lead to
the results which the gentleman has
portrayed"
Mr.. Burton then vigorously assaulted

Mr.. Rainey at once was on his feet
and demanded that the words be
taken down. while Mr. Bartlett (Ga.)
wanted the Ohio member ordered to
take his seat.
Mr.. Burton, with a shrug of his
shoulders, remarked that if what he
had said was going to lead to scene
he would withdraw his words, "but,"
he added, they were uttered under
