NOTES OF THE GAME

Highley, who pitched for Mansfield
is yoangster and this is the second
game he pitched for the leaguers. He
has speed and control and promises to
become fast pitcher.
Cromley was highly complimented
for his excellent work in the box. He
pitched fine game and with fewer
errors behind him the score would
have been very close.
The management of the Hiawathas
has an opportunity to secure the Mans
field team for two more games on
the home grounds this season. The
leaguers will probably be brought back
here for another contest.
Umpire Richards work was excep-
tionally good All his decisions were
fair and no dispute arose on either
side

on the Mt. Vernon team, is a member
of the Mansfield team, but did not ac-

the Hiawathas was of the big league
order He caught several difficult
foul fys and received generous ap-
plause from the fans.
Whittington had good day in the
center garden He accepted every
thing that came his way and several
of his changes were of the difficult
order.

BILE dispatch from Paris says:
Scientific circles have been aroused
here by the announcement that Ba-
taillon, French scientist, had at last
solved the great problem of science
and succeeded in creating life. But
the original statements are now mod
flied.
Battalion says: Loeb in America
and Delage in France have succeeded
in producing life artificially from the
egg Of the sea urchn, which is the
lowest form of animal life. My own
experiments have been along similar
lines, ercep that I have worked on
higher forms of life. have succeed
ed in creating frog.
"The process was long and uncer-
tain. Out of 100000 eggs not more
thar 400 have produced life. Out of
all my experiments I can show at the
present time only one tadpole now
alive"
