BASE BALL

The Normal baseball team went
to Hudson last Friday and defeated
the high school nine of that place
by a score of 9sto l. Bob Moser
was on the mound for the pedagog-
ues and held the high school bat
tiers helpless throughout the game,
getting eighteen strike-outs and
keeping the few hits made off his
delivery we'll scattered. The Hud-
son twirler pitched a good game
but had awfully ragged support,
especially on the infeld. The Nor
NAL lineup was as follows: r.
Moser, pitcher; w. Moser, catcher;
Foley, 1st; Meade, End; Bergh, 3rd;
Cooke, short; Reagan, left field;
Sherburne, center field; Race, right
field.

Wisconsin people who sold their
farms in this state some time ago
to leave for Western Canada are re-
turning in considerable force and
are seeking new locations in this
state. 1t is reported by these re-
turning agriculturalists that there
are thousands of others who will
return during the year because of
the fact that conditions were not as
represented to them at the time
they left the United States. While
the returning farmers do not dis
pute the fact that some good crops
are being raised on the Western
Canadian lands, they report that
the long hauls to market cut the
profits down to such an extent that
they are really making far less
money per acre than they made in
this country.

POPE Plus WISDOM.

Glass after class in our various
parish churches are receiving their
first holy communion. Many of them
are just at the age of reason. The
pious demeanor of these little ones,
their evident understanding of the
great honor and privilege that had
come to them, has been edifying to
all. Pope Plus x, who at the outset
Of his regime announced his desire
to restore all things to Christ, in
sisted on the smaller children
receiving holy communion. In this
fair land of ours there were many
who doubted the advisability of
allowing young children to receive
this, the greatest of all sacraments.
Their doubts have been dispelled
since they witnessed the piety of
these children. These little ones, as
they grow in age, will have
strength to resist temptations that
are common to the young. They
will remember their first holy com
munions and will become good men
and good women.

SUNDAY BASEBALL.

VIII somebody please show us
what harm there is in a game of
baseball on Sunday? Last week the
Rev. Father Phelan, editor of the
st. Louis Western Waterman, wrote:
Several of our Eastern Catholic
papers have Joined forces with the
Puritans in demanding the enact
ment of laws forbidding Sunday
baseball. We do not know any
political or social institution in the
United States that has done so much
for morality as professional base
ball, and the Sunday game is the
climax of moral improvement among
our boys"
To all of which the Kentucky
Irish American says "amen" and
expresses the hope that Kentucky
legislators will never become mar
row-minded enough to put a quietus
on Sunday baseball It is the great
national game, and playing the game
or watching others play it does not
constitute a dissertation of the
Sabbath.

IN MEMORY OF REV. DENIS
MURPHY.

The night is starles and a sable
bark,
All fringed with light from the
eternal shore,
Doth bear the vesper soul unto its
throne
All ROBBED in dazzling immortality.
Amounted as thou vert, the prince
of God,
with holy chrism thou didst each
day teach
His perfect rythm in the golden
song
OF kindly deeds and life of sacrifice.
Each deed doth shine respondent as
the stars
And numerous as the dew-drops
which the sun
Impearls on every amaranthine leaf
OF virgin bloom and votive cypress
wreath.
Thou didst unveil thy souls pure
sanctuary,
Where consecrated, hidden treasure
lay,
And woven hymns and symphonies
of love
Swept on in wondrous strain from
soul to soul.
Far, far beyond the shadow of our
night,
Amid the suns that gem infinity,
With seraphs thou dost glorify His
name,
Thy lot is cast forever with the
Lamb.
Be near us when life's light is burn
ing low,
When on the verge of the eternal
day
We hold the chalice to our lips and
drink
What all must taste-Death's dark,
dark sacrament.
Julia c. King.

PEACE, BUT NO ALLIANCE.

There are toadies in the United
States as well as in England who
dearly love Lord and adore
King. These are the fellows who
are boosting the peace treaty with
Great Britain. The United States
needs no such treaty, and England
has the reputation of making treaties
only to break them. 1t is admitted
that such a treaty would prove very
acceptable to the British Govern
ment, because it knows that Ameri-
cans would keep its pact.
Why should the British Govern
ment be so solicitious now, when
fifty years ago it not only sympa-
thized with the Confederacy but
actually placed soldiers aboard ships
to send them to aid in disrupting
the American Union?
The United States needs no
offensive and defensive alliance with
any of the powers. She wants peace
with all. France gave us a
Lafayette, Germany a Won Steuben,
Poland a Kosciusko. England sent
us a CORVALLIS and bought a
Benedict Arnold. VIII loyal Ameri-
cans join hands with an old enemy
as against old friends2 Or will they
remember Michael Scanlon's "Ad-
dress to Columbia"
"You now have royal beaux aroon,
Who flash about you late and soon,
Like stars about the summer moon,
Outrivaled by your glory;
But in the days when you were
young,
And sleuth-hounds on your foot
steps hung,
And British tyrants gave them
tongue,
Twas then a different story"
Give us peace, but no offensive
and defensive alliance with Great

FAREWELL, NOT GOODBYE.

Lovers of Irish music had real
treat at the Gayety Theater this
week in hearing the Carletons,
Frank and Kate, in a few minutes
of wit and melody. "The Minstrel
Boy" "The Kerry Dances" "Cruis-
keen Lawn" Last Rose of Summer
and believe Me. If All Those En-
dearing Young Charms" followed IN
such rapid succession that the real
irish Irish were entranced. Mrs.
Carleton has a soprano voice of wide
and exquisite sweetness, while Mr..
Carleton has a baritone that is pow
erful and full of melody. Both sing
Irish melodies like they loved them.
II is hoped they will come soon
again. Their turn is pleasing in
novation along Irish comedy lines.
AS soon as the people in America
learn to appreciate what this turn
means Mr.. and Mrs. Carleton will
have many imitators in Irish musi-
cal acts.
