BURLINGTON IS
GIVEN Benefit
PRESIDENT JUSTICE THROWS
OUT GAME WITH oTTuMwA
OF JUNE II ON PROTEST.

Burlington, July 4.-President JUS
tice announced yesterday that the pro-
test Of Manager Rohn, of the Burling-
ton Pathfnders, against the game won
by Ottumwa in Burlington on June
~ last, on account OF the decision Of
Umpire Bennett, that Boyd's ny which
struck the infield and rolled into foul
territory was fair" has been allowed.
The president throws the game out
and orders it played over again.
1t Will be remembered that in the
second inning of the game in question
Boyd Of Ottumwa knocked a high
fly which lit in the infield and bounded
out into foul territory. Two men on
bases were allowed to score by the
decision. Umpire Bennett held that
because Of the height of the fly its
lighting in fair territory made 1t
fair" no matter where it rolled to
afterwards. The decision gave Of
tumwa two runs to start with and rat
tied the Burlington team SO that 1t Is
believed Ottumwa won the game on
the basis of that decision. President
Justices verdict will meet with the
approval of all well posted base ball
men. This is the first protest which
has been allowed in this circuit this
season.
BY reason of the throwing out Of
this game Burlington gains nine points
and goes ahead of Galesburg,t and Is
now In second position. Ottumwa is
pulled down five points.

whom the bugbear of probable inva,

anxiety.
The last four lines of the Seer's
rhymed intimation of coming disaster
deserves consideration together:
when Neptune's back with stripes Is red
The sickly Lion shall hide his head.
When seven and six shall make but one
The Lions might shall be undone."
Possibly these four lines foretell ter
rible battles on the sea, Neptune be-
ing the NEUROLOGICAL god Of the ocean,
and prophesy a naval war in which
the waters will be literally ablaze with
the red stripes shooting from the
cannons' mouths. Or reference may
be had to the planet Neptune, instead
Of the sea god-that heavenly body
which of our planetary system is the
furthest away from the sun, being
2,745,99S,000 miles distant. Within
the last few years astronomers have
expressed the opinion that Neptune,
like Saturn, has red or bright belts
about it. and If the telescopes can be
made more powerful these red
stripes" will be in view. Is it then
that we may expect "The sickly lion
shall hide his head?"
Or it may be that the last two lines
refer to the United States, or else
indicate the death and numerical des-
ignation of King Edward VII. In the
| first instance seven and six make Ii,

governments be represented on our
national standard.
Or the lines might have direct refer
ence to King Edwards death. The
seven and six may well indicate Eng
lands Seventh Edward" or spelling

Peacemaker, sleeps with his fathers
and George V. mounts the throne OF
his ancestors, while from all parts OF
