The Turks right hand was badly

possible to forge ahead. In this half
Washington State started strong and
in the first three or four minutes of
play had scored eight points. Then
Whitman began to pick up and it
looked for a time as if the old Whit
hibits itself in the second half would
once more pull the Missionaries out
of the hole. BY hard work and
splendid team work on both sides the

Belt and Cox Star.
For Whitman the best work of the
evening was done by Captain Belt and
Tracey Cox. These two men for
Whitman played wonderful game
Cox was the stronger on field goals
and Belt was good on open field work
and in throwing goals from fouls. For
w. S. c. the best work was done by
Dalquist, Lowrey and Englehorn. In
the second half Barnes and Dewitt in
a double foul got their fifth call and
were compelled to leave the game
Crayne was substituted for Dewitt
and Felthouse went in for Barnes.
Later in the contest Englehorn, who
had been playing an exceedingly rough
game, had five fouls called and he
likewise was taken from the game.
Momb, sub-center, took his place. The
game last night was one of the hard
est to referee which has been played
in this city for some time, and the
work of F. D. Appellate as referee
was splendid. He was absolutely fair
and impartial and ran the game fast

Considering the number Of years

baseball has undergone fewer changes

history in the early sixties were TO

played with ball and bat and upon
diamonds with which we have been
familiar all our lives.
Now and then there has been a
mild agitation over the length of the
bat or the WITNESS or the deafness
of the ball, but the old sport cannot
recall of a single instance where any
one seriously espoused any movement
looking to a chance in the distance
between bases. Possibly the distance
between the bases was not finally fixed
upon without much experimenting,

determined that ninety. feet should
be the distance. showed a nicely Oh

NEW YORK, June s.-Following a fairly

Ing the morning session the stock market
became suddenly weak at noon today with
a general crumbling of prices.
United States Steel, which has recently
been the strongest Of the active stocks,
sold below its recent low level, touching
76A at 1890 o'clock.
Much pressure was directed against the
Hartman issues. particularly Union Pa
cific, which sold at the lowest price OF the
year. st. Paul again touched it's lowest
level OF this year and Reading declined 8
points or more On the stock exchange
the heavy selling Of the noon hour was re-
garded as Liquidation Of long accounts.
Many stop-loss orders were uncovered on
decline. particularly in United States
Steel, which was the principal object of
attack by an active bear faction. The
market weakness was attributed in the
main to further pessimism resulting from
the governments move against railroads
and unfavorable reports OF general business
conditions.
The break in Union Pacific reached 59i.

$4,000 more on the building of the new
