Beloit, July 13.--Beloit lost the
first game to Abilene yesterday to

main credit for victory should be
given to Pitcher williams and UNI.
pire Sigler.
1t was very pretty game and one
that was not surely decided till the
last Beloit man went out as at that
time Beloit had the bases full.
In the first inning but three men
faced each pitcher. sigler's decis-
ions on strikes and balls were very
bad in this inning.
In the second a walk a single and
a double brought in run. Bechtold
running in was tagged at home
plate, but again the umpire cane in
handy and declared the runner safe.
With these very rotten decisions
made Siegler became ashamed of him
self and from that on gave as fine
an exhibition of umpiring as has been
seen on the home grounds.
Beloit did not get runner past
second base until the fifth inning,
when walk issued to Armin, stol-
en- base and Williams error let in a
score.
But II men faced Reed, the Beloit
pitcher during the next five innings
after Abilene's scoring in the second.
In the Sth Abilene up, Williams
got walk, Burton sacrificed and
Williams scored on single by Ellis.
Beloit up in the Sth, Reed struck out,
Moss walked, Gundlach reached first
on Wilson's error and Moss reached
third. Howell got a single, scoring

HOUSES TO STAND
EARTH TREMORS

Frank A. Perret. formerly honorary
assistant at the Royal Vesuvian OBJ
servatory, was one OF those who re-
manned at that post OF duty during the
great eruption OF 1905 He has since
studied at close range the volcano at
StTombOli In action: IN 1907 he predicted
that a great disturbance Of Aetna was
impending. and he was on his way to
Sicily when the Messna tragedy took
place Writing on ''The Messlna Earth
quake In the April Century. Mr- Perret
declares its lesson is a tWO-fold one
and the freshness Of the San Francisco
horror brings the warning home.
Those who live IN earthquake dis
tTicts should build their houses TO with
stand these vibrations OF the ground
This is feasible, and II is to be hoped
that all ruined towns will be rebuilt ac-
cOTdinRly. But il IS manifestly too much
10 expect that existing cities ia earth
quake districts will be torn down and
rebuilt, and therefore those who favor
the spending OF large sums OF money
for astronomical and other research
work should also favor its expenditure
for the proper study OF the world on
which we live. in order that we may
learn it's secrets and fOreteli it's move
ments, and thus prevent q great earth
quake from being also a great disaster
This. too. is feasible, and II Is a matter
Of vital Importance TO humanity

cost, viii cause the lesson to De taken

A very different reception has greeted
Professor Lowells election The needs
of Harvard, and. incidentally, of
American universities are known, and,
after the closest scrutiny OF many can
didates. his superior equipment is al
most universally conceded. In old
times il was thought that a college
could be safely intrusted only to a
minister or to "A classical professor.
Now the head Of a great institution
like Harvard must possess not only an
interest in scholarship, but knowledge
of affairs, executive efficiency, social
aptitude, and ability to speak in puor
