LOST GAME TO COLOREO MEN
Philadelphia Royal Giants Beat Ben
nington to 3-Play Again This
Afternoon

The Philadelphia Royal Giants
played ball at Morgan park yesterday
afternoon and played so much better
ball than the local team that they
won the game by score of to 3.
Bennington had an off day yester-
day. At the same time the Huckle-
berry boys found themselves pitted
against the snappiest bunch of ball
players that has appeared at Morgan
park during the present summer. The
colored players were not such large
men as made up the Brooklyn Royal
Giants who appeared here some
weeks ago but they were far more
active. The work of the infeld play
ers, especially, was something of a
revelation to the crowd. The duskey
ball tossers handled the sphere in
a highly finished manner and showed
every evidence OF long and constant
practice. In the opinion of some of
the fans Miller the little shortstop,
gave the best exhibition in that posi-
ton ever seen on a Bennington dia-
mond. Some OF his stops were on
balls that looked TO be impossible and
his throwing was not only speedy but
as accurate as rifle shooting
Burns pitched excellent ball for
Bennington but his support was rocky
Finnegan who has been playing good
ball for Bennington all the season.
went to the bad as soon as the game
began and even Connors, the most re-
liable man on the team, broke into
the error column. Both Connors and
Finnegan, however. outclassed their
team mates with the stick for they
made the only clean hits for the home
team during the game. Finnegan
made TWO singles and Connors' three
sacker TO LETT field was a pretty drive.
The boys last evening all seemed
to be a little upset over the poor
showing OF the team and were all
ready to promise a better exhibition
Tor the game this afternoon. They
are capable OF playing far different
ball and If the colored men will only
repeat their creditable work the
game this afternoon will be well
worth the money.
The crowd was small yesterday but

SURPRISES CLARK
Next Speaker CannotUnder-
stand Why Speech Caused
Such Hullabaloo.

Champ Clark can't understand the
hullabaloo which has been raised be-
cause of his incidental statement on
the floor of the House, during debate
on the reciprocity bill, that he would
like to see Canada annexed to the
United States
Mr.. Clark says he has nothing to add
to or subtract from the statement, ex-
cept to say that he was speaking for
Champ Clark personally, and not for
the Democratic members of the House
or the Democratic party. Furthermore,
Mr.. Clark declares he has expressed
the same personal opinion hundreds OF
times before and probably will make
appreciate that this means that Can
ada should get excited over "annexa-
ton"
The importance attached to Mr..
Clark's utterance, especially In the
probably arises through the fact that
he Is to be the Speaker Of the next
House, a position regarded as second To
the Presidency.
II Mr.. Clark had talked of annexa-
ton when he was merely "the states
man from Pike county, Mo-" perhaps
everybody would not have thrown fits
and President Taft might not have re-
garded a reassuring statement from
the White House as necessary.
Mr.. Clark j speech. in which he re-
fCrTed to TIE day when the American
flag might float over the Dominion, was
4 half serious, half humorous effort. The
next Speaker was chided about his
Presidential ambitions, and the subjects
he covered ranged all the way from
Missouri corn to reciprocal agreements
with all Of Europe. incidentally, Mr..
Clark repeated his prophesy that some
day the United States will annex Can
aGa, and now the MissOurian can't un-
derstand what has caused all the furore.
L
ing Canadian and LondCn publications
have correspondents here who are
watching the progress of reciprocity and
the prophecy of the next Speaker was
big news for the other side in that
the howlers against reciprocity in Can
ada are warning the DominiOntes that

street, when Powers attempted to
eject the man for making in
sulting remarks to several young
women who sat in front of him. The
man eluded capture after an exciting
race through the busiest streets in Har-
lem, the chase at one time holding up
traffic while the crowd was crossing
the car tracks.
The shot was fred in the lobby of the
theater and narrowly missed Powers,
who was only two feet away 1t
caused much excitement in the theater,
the performance being stopped for
fully half an hour.
The man, who was dressed In a brown
suit, brown derby and blue flannel shirt,
went into the theater about $50 o'clock.
Soon after that two young women sit
ting in front of him called an usher
and said the man was annoying them.
When the usher asked the man to leave
he jumped up and hit the usher in the
face. Powers, the chief usher, then
took hold of the man and rushed him to
the lobby. The man started to walk
away, when suddenly he turned and,
drawing a revolver, fired a shot The
bullet imbedded itself in the wall.
Immediately there was a shout from
the audience, and with half the men In

COLUMBIA-Newman Travel Talk.

The second of the E. M. Newman
Travel Talks at the Columbia Theater
will be given Sunday evening. The topic
is THE Balkan States and Roumania."
The Balkans have given diplomatists,
and politicians, of Europe more trouble
than all the rest of the world. They
have been the means of almost constant
warfare for centuries, and their loca-
ton is such that the alliance of any Of
these small kingdoms or principalities
can easily change the destiny of an en-
pire.
In the past few years Austria has an
neXed Bosnia and Herzegovina. and the
King of Bulgaria has proclaimed HIM

Newman found 1t ore of the most pic

CAST OUT. IN STORM,
SHE WEDS HER HERO
Romantic Ending of Late Re-
turn From Party Which
Angered Mother.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Thrllled with
that delicious sense of peril which
makes romance worth while, young
Joseph Stocker and Martha Robertson
crept breathlessly up the steps of the
Robertson home in West Orange, n. J..
just at the edge of morning.
They had been to a party in Newark.
Both knew we'll that II O'Clock was the
deadline of evening excursions for Miss
Robertson. Therefore they walked on
tiptoe and the good-by kiss was muf-
fled.
When Stocker had seen his sweetheart
safely through the front door he crept
back down the steps and walked to his
own home in Lakeside avenue.
Meanwhile little Miss Robertson stole
upstairs like a robber in the night.
She was in her own room when. like a
sword-thrLst in the dark. a sharp voice
sounded:

Then the storm broke.
At Mercy of Verbal Storm.
According to Miss Robertson. it ragged
throughout the following day unabated.
Martha knew she had been disobed-
lent. and she didn't reply to her moth
er's rebukes-that is, not for two days.
When she did reply, according to her
own story, she was ordered to leave the
house.
There was no one to go to but Joe. and
she found him a true and resourceful
hero. In a few minutes they were on
their way to Newark.
Mother Relented.
Through an alderman whom Stocker
knew they obtained a license and were
married by Justice of the Peace Blau-
velt Then they went back to Stocker's
home, where they intend to live until
they can arrange their own household.
