Explanations of the death of a

sad to have been slaughtered because
he opposed the violent conversions OF

Violent conversions must cease in

Full satisfaction must be given for
the violence shown by the Monte

di Medua, on the Adriatic coast,
toward the crew of the Austrian mer-
chant vessel Skodra.
Three Austrian battleships and
three smaller warships left Pola, the

UNION SERVICES

The union service of the Baptist
and the Congregational denomina-
tions at the Baptist church last Sun
day morning was very well attended.
Representatives from each church
spoke briefly with reference to the
purpose of the meeting, namely to
see whether the people favored a
federation of the forces for the sum
mer months. Ballots were passed to
those present and the vote taken was
unanimously in favor of such a fed
ovation. Everyone was manifestly in
favor of the forward step taken.
Nothing was said about the Sunday
schools, but it is quite probable that
they will also unite for the summer
Next Sunday morning the service
will be held in the Congregational
and A. B. Clark will be the
speaker. Everyone who is interest
ed to see a union of these church
forces is asked to be present next
Sunday morning at II o'clock at the
Congregational church.

PULLMAN LOSES TO
A BETTER TEAM
Moscow Bali Tossers Win Deserved
Victory at City Ball Park
Walker Pitches Good
Ball but Has Poor
Support

1t could conscientiously be said
that the best team won when the
Moscow team left the grounds last
Sunday afternoon with a score of 8
to to its credit. Pullman was out
played in every department of the
game, and but for ninth inning rally
the score sheet would have showed
much larger margin of victory for
the visitors. The story of the defeat
Is told in the error column, the ten
bungles of the locals being respon-
sible for all but one of the visitors
scores, while Pullman was forced to
earn four of her six scores. Muir,
behind the bat for the locals, was the
chief offender, his two overthrows
of second base letting three visitors
across the pan, but the fact that
Muir was playing out of position to
allow ST. Kennedy to nurse bad
ankle on the bench excuses his bad
pegs to certain extent.
Walker, who pitched the first six
innings for Pullman, has all the ear
marks of a slab artist of league cal
ibre. He had worlds of speed, good
curves and, with the exception of
the third inning, showed excellent
control, and in the opinion of the
majority of the fans who witnessed
the contest should have been per-
mitted to finish the game.
The heavy hitting was done by
Tyrer for Pullman, and Carlander
for Moscow, each of whom had three
healthy hits to his credit Tyrer also
pilfered four bases during the con-
test.
