SPORTING NOTES.

Capt. Wagner'S absence from the
Red Sex lineup makes a big hole both
on account of superior and steady
! playing and the magnetism of his per-
sonality. He is also what McGraw
calls a thinking ball player.
The Radcliffe Seniors won the semi
final series for the basketball cham
pionship of the college Thursday by
defeating the Juniors, q to III. Each
class had won a game and now the
Seniors will meet the Freshmen, who
have won twice from the Sophomores.
The stars of the game We're Louie
Hodge for the Seniors and Elma Gray,
also Varsity player, for the Juniors.
1t has been suggested that if the
rules of golf were printed in rhyme
they would be easier to memorize and
more interesting. There is no doubt of
the fact that the average golfer knows
comparatively little of rules of the
game, and when a question arises out
of the run of play he has to either get
a book of rules or else find some one
qualified to pass on the matter, either
not always being available.
Harvards prospects of winning the
intercollegiate soccer championship on
April % are very bright. 1t would
seem that only remarkable improve
ment of Cornell's game could possibly
prevent the title from coming to Cam
bridge. Coach Burgess is to be con-
graduated upon the results attained
since that first and only defeat by
Haverford.

MOB FIGHTS POLICE.
Striking Furniture Workers Clash
With Guardians of the Peace.

Grand Rapids, Mich, May 16.-At
least a score of policemen were in
Jured and many members of mob of
1000 striking furniture workers and
sympathizers were hurt in a riot at the
plant of the Widdicomb Furniture
company last night. Several of the in
Jured may die.
After fight with revolvers, clubs,
description, in which the police were
attacked the mob with streams of wa
ter and succeeded in quelling the dis
turbance to q considerable extent
Many women were among the rioters.
The trouble started when q mob of
800 men, women and boys attacked a
closed automobile driven by Ralph
Widdicomb of the furniture company,
who was taking several strike breakers
from the factory. One of the police
men on guard at the plart attempted
to make an arrest and the mob closed
in on him.
Other policemen with drawn revolt
vers arrived, but were overwhelmed.

and son began firing and the fire was
returned by rioters. Several of the
policemen were knocked senseless by
missiles hurled by women.
Mayor Ellis made an attempt to
quell the riot before the fire depart
ment was summoned. A terrific fight
ensued as the firemen began to lay
their lines in which the mob was
finally overcome and broken up. The
strikebreakers were spirited away.

The educational system in the Phil

WIFE RETURNS TO KANsAN.
Declares She Was Persuaded to Bring
Suit for Divorce.

Lyndon. Kan. May 1s.-w. H.
Mears of this city, who recently was
the cause of considerable newspaper
comment in Kansas City because of a
suit for divorce instituted against him
in the district court of Wyandotte
county, Kansas, is now free from legal
entanglements.
The young wife was called to Kan
sas City under the pretense that her
mother was lying very sick and when
she returned she claims she was per-
suaded to commence proceedings
against her husband. Mears, through
the advice of his attorney, showed
fight and then criminal charges were
preferred in order to thoroughly scare
the old gentleman, but he continued
to stand pat, with the result that he
and his attorney have just returned
from Kansas City, where they sue
ceeded in showing the real motive be-
hind the proceedings. Both cases were
dismissed.
The young wife returned to her hus-
band couple of weeks ago, explained
the situation to the old gentleman's
satisfaction and was forgiven, with the
above results.

FARMING RISKY BUSINESS.
More People Injured in Agricultural
Pursuits Than Trade Work.

New York, May 16.-That farm life
is more perilous occupation than that
of the artisan or factory employee. is
shown by an exposition of Industrial
accident statistics at the convention of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers here today. OF the total num-
Der of mishaps resulting in temporary
disability, it is shown that 40 per cent
occur in agricultural pursuits; 9 each
in iron and steel trades and in build
ing operations, and s11 per cent in min
ing.
Tt is explained that it is natural that
the agricultural laborer should be es-
peciaIly subject to accident for he has
to handle teams machinery and ex-
plosives, and is too much of a jack
of-all trades to be skilled in any one
Modern methods also increase the risk
of the occupation, for Canadian records
show that the percentage of deaths in
creased steadily from IL per cent in 1904
to 20 ner cent in 1909.
