over the plain is a crater fifty miles wide;
the hardened lava around its edge is piled
up two miles high. This Is the crater Ar

There is no air or moisture on the moon

| BASE BALL DO|NGS.

By RAT.

The game of baseball which attracted
the most attention and drew the largest
crowd this season was the one played on
the first of the week, between two OF the
strongest teams in the city. namely, the
No-Names and the Engmans. Both
teams have large following and rooters
galore, and when the game was called
at about two O'Clock on the college cam
pus excitement and expectation were at
fever heat, and not for moment during
the contest did this lag, for both teams
went in to win, and stayed in until the
very last with the same thought. The
score was to in favor of the Mo-
at the close, but the percentage OF earned
runs was figured that number would be
considerably reduced.
Business started for No-Names thusly:
In the third Denis singled, went second
on Tudury's single. and was forced to
third when Tudury stole second; Parrillo
then tapped single, sending Denis
and Tudury over home plate, coming in
himself on T. Fernandez two-bagger.
McGinn tapped slow grounder to short
and was thrown out at first while Fer
nandez advanced to third. Mcdaniel
struck out. Powell reached first on his
grounder to Ladner, which he let pass,
scoring Fernandez. Laurent walked,
forcing Powell to second, and there he
died, for Laurent was caught mapping at
first, with P. Fernandez at bat. In the
fifth inning, McGinn, Mcdaniel and
Powell crossed the home plate, and in
the sixth Tudury scored, all caused by
errors by V Luc, M Luc, Ladner and
Delcuze, at inopportune times.
There was nothing doing for the Eng
mans until their half of the fourth when
the two singles by M. Luc and Kraemer
landed them on first and second, Eng
man sent a slow grounder between first
and second, Tudury getting it and send
ing down to Denis at first so swiftly at
such short range that he could not
handle it, the three men galloping oyer
the home plate before Denis could re-
cover the baA which was lost under the
grandstand. Scafde singled. Bankston
and Ladner struck out. Egloff went to
first on single, advancing Scafide to
second, and both were left on their bases
when Parrillo caught Austin's crack to
oontar fold One more rl1n was made bv
Austin in the seventh on wild-throw by
Laurent from right to Denis, when he
singled toward him, letting him go sec
ond, an error by Tudury, who fumbled a
grounder by v Luc, letting him go to
third, and coming home on single by
Kraemer.
Parrillo, the little wonder, carried of
the honors of the egame. The marvellous
little fellow is smaller by head than the
smallest member on either team, but his
size makes no difference, for out of five
times at bat he got four safe singles and
was thrown out but once at first when
he grounded to V. Luc in the eighth.
He also made three pretty catches in
center field, with the afternoon sun
shining directly in his eyes.
The following is the box-score of the
game:
