speare'S remark about there being no room
for two Harrys in England.
When the magazine publishers were max
ing the fight against the increase Of the rate
on second class mail at the close Of the
Siytv-frSt Congress, a delegation represent
ing the allied printing trades went TO see
number Of Senators to interest them against
the proposed increase. They were armed
with various statements and tclcgramS,
among them a despatch from William J.
Bryan protesting against the increase. They
opened the discussion with Senator Bailey
by reading the Bryan telegram. The effect
was electrical. The Texas Senator does not
make any great effort to control his temper,
especially where his political enemies are in
volvcd. That delegation never understood
Just what happened; but it was "a plenty

NORTHWESTERN BESTS
LOCAL COLLEGE rs TO %

After overcoming a nine point lead,
gained by their opponents in the first
half, Augustana lost to Northwestern
college of Naperville Saturday after
noon by a score of 25 to % in one of
the most sensational games of basket
ball ever staged here, the deciding
two points being registered during the
last five seconds of play. Although
defeated Augustana nevertheless con-
siders the game a victory for the fact
that it was able to hold last years
state champs and runners up in the
Chicago Tribune's unlimited contest to
a margin of two points. Northwestern
probably has the strongest college
team in the state today. The lineup:

OIL BURNING ENGINE

BERGER BINGS HOMER;
ONE FEATURE IN GAME

Joe Berger, erstwhile Islander
shortstop, furnished the lone feature
o. the game yesterday at Waco,
Texas. the scene of the White Sox
training camp when he clouted out a
homer in the first inning of the game
between the White Sox team No. 3,
and the Waco aggregation of bail
tossers. In addition to clouting that
four-sacker, Joe came across with a
double and he made three of the doz-
en- runs. The weather at Waco is
anything but favorable for the rec
cruits. The sun has failed to shine
and the thermometer is way down.
Berger made a better record than
either of the shortstops on the other
two Sox teams. He had only two
chances in the field but he got away
with both of them. Kreitz, the old
Dubuque catcher, played with the
same team and he got hit. Pad
dock, also a former Hustler, played
with the seconds and got away well

The fight was one of the fastest and
bloodiest ever seen between good fight

of weight to advantage all the time,
Murphy wore Attell down, and the
goth round found Abe desperately tired

night the quintet slipped in a score of
1850, not a record or anything like
that, but sufficiently large to bring
home something over $50. ANY team
score over 1850 brings home some
OF the filthy lucre this year. The team
ran into 40 splits in the game or the
score would have been much higher.
Salzmann and John WITCH rolled in the
doubles and finished with LOIS, a score
which may possibly net little change.
