Baseball Notes.

CULLEN made a sensational stop OF
Frantz's grounder in the fifth inning.
He stopped the ball with his bare hand
and fell down but got up in time to
throw the runner out at first.
1t was King who doubled with two on
in the third and put the game away.
Healey's splitter was working well
but he did not get away as We'll as ne
did during the opening of the series.
In handling Coffey's grounder in the
eighth inning, Alderman took hold of
one with whiskers but he was success
full in holding it and catching the vic
tim at first.
More than seven hundred fans at
tended the game today. In addition
to that there were a large number OF
the fair sex who thoroughly enjoyed
the first ladies' day of the season. The
management enjoyed this as much as
the ladies and only wishes for larger
number for Friday afternoon when
Lincoln will be the offering.
Channelrs home run was high drive
which sailed 80 feet over Kings head
as he raced back toward the middle
corner of the park. The ball was too
speedy, however, for him to grab. 1T
struck just back of the fagpole and
rolled to the center of the fence. AT
that it was relayed home SO quickly
that Channel had to slide to make it
safely. 1t was the longest drive ever
made at the Kaw field.

the same devil which prompted old
Adam to lay the blame on Eve after

The women of the time when the
world was supposed to be more holy

selves in an oyer-abundance OF wear

There is no record in the holy writings
that the Sainted Mother of Christ

nocent" men might not be deflled.
There is no evidence in the Book
that Ruth was fortified be-

she cast herself upon the mercy OF
the master of the fields. There is no
evidence to show that the daughters
of Lot, who were of the one holy fam

is evidence which shows that the
teachers of the religion of the pure and
