attempting to obtain the release of Bel

charge of the most infamous supersti-

fore, it continues, the Indictment should
have been strong enough to raise such
an enormous wave of opinion against
that superstition that it would be brok-
en- down. It adds:
q" Alas, the indictment is that of a
lisping child ANY able counsel could
easily destroy it,
The article deplores the decision of
the prosecution to appear before the
whole world with such an outfit, add.
ing:
1.-THE tribunal must not be an in
strument of the right or the left par

desired fruits. However, advantageous
or necessary it may be from a party

not to have undertaken. and has not

Big Colleges
Will Soon Begin
Annual Games

NEW YORK, June 9.-The next
two weeks will witness the comple-
ton of the Yale-Harvard and Prince
ton-Yale baseball series. and the
alumni and undergraduates of these
universities are awaiting the outcome
with more than usual interest. Yale
has an unusually strong team this
season and the adherents of the Blue
are hopeful that the Ellis will win
both series against their ancient rivals
The Yale-Princeton series began
way back in 1868. when Thomas
Hooker and f. A.. Won WAGNER
were the captains Of the. competing
cams in the initial play. Since that
date 112 games have been played. Of
which Yale has won So and Princeton
4s, with one game. in 1890, a tie. The
Harvard-Yaie series began in 1883.
and to date Sc games have passed
into history. with Harvard a winner
OF 81 and Yale Al. with one tie game
In 1905.
In the beginning the play was far
different from the finished baseball
furnished by the big college mines OF
today. In this connection. a descrip-s
ton OF the first Yaie-Harvard game
is not untimely. The contest, which
was not a varsity but interclass
match. was played at Worcester. i
Mass, July 26. 1866. between the
Yale and Harvard classes of SO. The
Ell players wore uniforms consisting
OF f1esh-colored shirts. with a YaIe
monogram interviewer with the nu-
merals SO. blue trousers and canvas
shoes. History of that date failed to
record the Harvard outflttinSs. The
Yale nine won the game, SO to ga,
with a ninth inning rally. being eight
runs behind Harvard at the opening
of the ina session.
h game. which required 4 houra
and 80 minutes to complete, had 4
regular fiction climax. With one out
three runner on the bases and two
runs needed to tie the score. De
Grove drove a home run In far CEN
ter. The hit scored more than the
necessary runs to win the game, but.
as in those days, the play continued
until three put-outs had been made.
an additional score was thus secured
before the play terminated. OF the
members of the Yale team there were
living at a very recent date four OF
the original min that thus inaugurat-
ed the Yale-Harvard baseball series.

official notice Of the buildings con-

Action II Surprise.
While the condition Of the church
has been known to the officials for
some time, the action Of the build

the other members. 1t was at the
suggestion Of the church oflcials that
the inspection was made by Inspector
Butler.
While the old building is being

erected, some nearby quarters will be
secured for the congregation. which

While the location has not been de-
