pose Of unlawfully killing fur seals
In 1891 this schooner was caught by
a Russian vessel under the claim that

Russia. Damages were claimed by
the owners of the vessel In 1899

will be out of the game for at least a week
or 10 days. The cash cut in his head
reached to the bone and was nearly four
inches long. He is resting easily tonight

danger whatsoever.
An idea of how the little thing called
break figures in the game sometimes
is evidenced by the two games. The
Crackers have gotten % hits yet they have
scored only three runs. When the pinch
was needed the Baron hurlers either tight
ened up or some brilliant piece of field

uraly to partisan Atlanta fans they argue
that they were getting the worst of the
break from the decisions, but to the
scribes 1t looked like the decisions We're
equally bad on both sides.
Atlanta fans whistle at Bill Foxen when
he occupies the mound for the Barons,
for the Cracker followers contend that
Bill did not give his best efforts to the
Crackers in 1911, when he came south. But

Charles Frank was in Atlanta Thursday
and Friday. He tried to get a ruling
from Judge Kavanaugh on his protest
over the proposed trade whereby he was
to send Snedecor to Montgomery for Bag
by and Kutina. The league president left
this morning without making any decision
I'm the matter. Frank also left too, but in
the opposite direction, and so sore that
he was boiling over.
Judge kavanaugh made no ruling on the
protested game between Nashville and
Atlanta. He let the matter stand just
it is. 1t is supposed that he will order
the contest played over, but the judge
would not give any intimation as to how
he would decide the case or when.
Joe Councilman and Clinton Prough will
lock horns in the game Saturday, which
will be called at 2:45 o'clock to allow both
teams ample time to catch their trains.
The Barons go to Gulltown and the Crack
ers to Pelcanvile.
The battle between Councilman and
Prough should be extremely interesting,
rs the deliveries of the two men are iden-
tical and their most effective ball is ex-
actly the samoan overland curve drop.

Interest in Washington,

Unusual interest is attached to the
Washington crews which crossed the con-
tnent, after winning the Pacific coast
rowing laurels, to measure blade work
and stamina with the pick of the eastern
college crews. Last year the University
of Stanford eight made the same journey.
Without the services of a coach and in a
borrowed shell the Californian crew fin-
ished last. Coach Conibear and his vet
eran eight from the northwest are far.
more optimistic. While not proclaiminr
themselves victors the Seattle oarsmen
contend that they will uphold the honor
OF the far coast crews and show that
the standard of collegiate rowing is not
greatly below that of the east.
In the minor events the freshman eight
cared race is expected to bring out five
of the best junior crews yet seen on the
Poughkeepsie course. All of the colleges
except Washington are entered in this
event, with Cornell the favorite because
of past performances. The four cared race
will, for the first time in the history of
the association, be a contest between six
crews, every college being represented. In
this race the guiding of the shell Is not
done by a coxswain and the ability of the
bow man, who steers the shell with his
feet, to keep the boat In a direct course.
is most important factor in the race.
The Washington four Dared crew has
been working under a disadvantage from
the fact that 1t has had no shell and used
a Cornell boat during practice
