BILL BAILEY PESS|M|ST|C
 IN PROPHECY

WASHINGTON, July IA. Sena- tor Bailey, of Texas. in a farewell address delivered at banquet last evening, predicted that if conditions in the United States confined to change in the next thirty years as In the past the country would face con ditions paralleling those that existed Tn France at the time Of the reyo- lutlon. He charged that the mem bers of congress. by their own COW. ardice. were responsible for the unrest which prevails and virtually asserted that the Dem ocratic party was exaggerating the importance of existing evils. Every evil, he said, can be corrected with out danger to the principles and pol lcles upon which the party stands and 1t should be done. Members of the party can head off the danger. he continued, if they would have the courage to go out and tell the public the truth. The impatience or the minority has been largely re- sponsible for the state of mind of the people.

NURSING THEIR
 MANY ACHES

 These ancients of the baseball field were out Wednesday night in a match game arranged by Bob Geis on one side and Ed Wickersham on the other and produced a lot of joy for the spectators while they were laying up future aches for them selves.
 One nine styled themselves the Maple Leafs and the other the Mag nolias. In the end the Maple Leafs won by score of 13 to 6, the eX- planation for the relatively small score being that the players were so exhausted that they couldn't run around the diamond.
 The game was played for the ben. eft of the park and is to be repeated again this coming Wednesday night, every quarter taken in going to the park fund, except for the purchase of the base ball.
 The lineup last Wednesday was as follows:
 Maple Leafs-Geis, c; Gohres, D; O'Gara, 1b; Koon, 2b; Whitely, ss: Cathcart, 3b; Young, If; Fleisch- man, of; Dug Morgan, If.
