Litchfield, on the mound for Southland
pitched splendid game and won from
the Naval Medical School yesterday. He
should have come out without a single
tally having been made against him, as
none of the Doctors runs were earned
ones. But four hits Were made from
his offerings, one coming in the first
| round. another in the fifth and two
more in the sixth. He was exceptionally
strong in tight places and sent six
| men back to the bench on strikes during
! the six rounds.
Southland took the lead at the start
when Taylor opened up with a clean sim
gle to center, stole second and counted
a moment later on Ristons hit. In the
fourth four more were chased across
the pan on four hits. three errors and
pass.
Jimmy Rice, who has twirled the only
victories credited to his team. was at
the pivot station yesterday. He was In
good form and had he been given good
support he might have come out on top.
The game would have been closer one
anyhow.
Each team went up in the air once,
and in these innings the players seemed
to outdo themselves in making miscues.
Southland made four runs in the fourth
on four scra tch hits, coupled up with
as many errors, while Naval Medica!
round on one hit and five errors. With
these two innings eliminated the game
would have been a mighty close one and
a much more interesting one to watch.
Riston had to be credited with three
bagger in the fourth when he knocked
a Texas Lacquer to right field The ball
got lost in the weeds and he had no
trouble in reaching the three-quarter
station while the other team was out in
the right garden looking for 1t.
Shorty Harley, who usually figures
prominently in the hit column, could
not touch Litchfield yesterday. Out of
three trips up he famed twice and
tapped an easy grounnder to third. In
the fourth inning he was sent back to
the bench on three successive strikes.
Taylor. who is backstopping for Dec
hard, who had his finger broken in his
last game. has a mighty good arm and
would-be base stealers had better take
no liberties with him. Rice opened the
second inning with a hit in yesterdays
contest and was caught off by five yards
when he attempted to pilfer the key
stone sack. After this the Doctors were
content to remain on the bags until they
were advanced by their teammates.

ST PETERSBURG, August 8, 1911.
Russia is busy with a scheme for intro

are all state schools or church schools.
some system of primary teaching in
military ideals and military drill. The
inception of this scheme is due 10 the
initiative OF the emperor himself. who
some years ago read Gen. Baden Powell's
books on the Boy Scouts. and corre-

tor of that movement. Acting on hint
from the emperor. the Russian war Of

concerned are engaged In celebrating
a scheme suitable to Russia. and probably
a bill embodying the result of their labors
will shortly be introduced in the duma.
Back to Peter the Great.
AS it stands at present there are not
many traces left of anything which a
perusal of Gen. Baden-Powelrs ideas
on boy training can have suggested to
any Russian reader. The war office has

period of Russia's history connected with
