C0LLEGIANS
Win Second and Last Game
oflSeries as Rain Stops
Sunday Game.

The Pittsburg collegians defeated
the local team in the second and last
game OF the series at Union Park
Saturday afternoon by the score Of
10 to 2. The local team was in owrse
condition Saturday than 1t was on
Friday and made a poor showing.
The management of the local team
is very sorry that the team should
make such poor showing when 1t
should be going its best, but mis-
fortunes will happen and they cannot
be helped. Some few things which
weakened the local team in the last
two games were the absence of Quinn
from third and Of zinn from first base,
these two men being physically, I'M
able to play. Danley jumped the team
without giving any notice and Joined
the, Fairmont team in the o. and p,
league. Bullock was called. away sud-
denly Thursday night on account Of
the serious illness OF a sister, and
Blackshire sprained leg in the game
Friday and will be unable to play
for several weeks. These misforunes
with the fact, that the team was play
ing the fastest team played at Union
park this season made the loca! team
look bad. GaOwever, If the sundqy
game had been played the locals
would probably have made better
showing as Manager Smith had Sc
cured the-assistance of Ave out of
town plyaers who were here to play
in Sundays game. Score:

PRAGMATISM
Studies of the New Philosophic
Method


| The reproach brought against philos-
ophy for speaking Of things that every

Mr.. II. Heath Bavden in his philosophi-
cal INTERPRETATION Of experience entitled
! THE Principles OF Pragmatism' CIhe
Houghtor Miflin Company. AS vehicle
of thought, language may never be per-
feet instrument, but granting that Ian
guage foreshortens experience, and that
! 1t Is a perpetual mythology, we should
! not therefore be deferred from seeking
| TO state q theory Of experience in as ra-
| tional a form as possible. The coming
| in Of the new philosophy called prag-
matism is to be hailed as sign that the
| democratic ideal is destined to transform
our thinking as well as our conduct and
| that the utility Of truth in the service
of men Is compatible with its validity for
the metanhysician, OF the three leading
exponents of pragmatism, Professor Baw-
den suggests that Professor William
James was able to meet the objections
urged by the man Of affairs; that DIR.
+. C. s. Schiller, Cf oxford. meets the
objections " the mystical religious man,
and that Professor John Dewey has a
word for the man Of science.
What. when compared with absolute
idealism and with the critical philosophy
pragmatisn can Cffer in aid OF religion
is the inquiry to which DR.. Eugene w.
LYMAN devotes himself In Theology and
Human Problems" (Charlcs Scribners
Sons). Between the suspicious afiiuence
of the absolute idealism of, say. Pro-
fessor Josiah Royce ard the austere mig
Gardliness of the Kantian system, the
author finds in pragmatism more trust

Mr.. Arthur Stone Dewing's Lille as

pays respect 10 the old idea. now freshly

it's literary apostles, for Novalis AMI
Schlegel. Shelley ana Byron were prag-
matist in their philosophy OF life. Yet
the freedom of romanticism is the free
dom of caprice, and to say that truth Is
different for each person is to say that
there is no truth, but only opinion. The
pragmatist has muIthered truth, and the
weird sisters have played him false
