in contravention of those arti-
cles of the Venetian Constitu-
ton directed against the depri-
walton Of liberty and property
without the process Of law. And
l invoke the power and justice
of this honorable Appellate
Court to avoid and reverse the
decree set forth through such an
irregular and monstrous proceed

ton was an eloquent tribute TO
the Jewish race, against which,
he protested, great injustices
have been operating through
tue centuries, partly by the ex-
ample of the grossly unjust de
cision from which he new APP
pealed.
Judge Julian Mouton's clos
ing argument for the State was
upon the nullity of the bond con-
tract because of the immoral
purpose on Shylock's part to de-
stroy his rival Antonio, who, as
the record shows, had been
grossly overbearing and insult
ing to Shylock on many occa-
sions. Many pertinent passages
from the record were eloquently
quoted by the speaker to show
the motive of revenge in the
heart of the defendant-appellant
The passages beginning "Many
a time and oft on the Rialto" ant
"He hath disgraced me and hin
dered me half a million were eff.
fectively quoted in support O
the argument that any contract
entered into under the play O

Heinie Zimmerman, third baseman of

League batsmen for the season of 1912
The official batting averages, which were
made public last night, show Zimmerman
with a percentage Of .372, fourteen points
in the lead of his nearest competitor,
Chief Meyers of New York. who hit at
the rate of 1853 for the season.
Sweeney of Boston and Evers of Chi

.344 and the latter with BAL OF men who
played in 100 games or more, Doyle of
New York is fifth with 800. and Wagner
OF Pittsburgh, last years leader, sixth.
with .324.
This is only the third time in ten years
that Wagner has not led the league in
batting, and in no year during that period
has he batted under 800. Bescher of Gin

his credit.
The teams which stood first, second and
third in the pennant race qualify in the
