| Chelette was no puzzle. This may
sound strange, but nevertheless it is
true. Fresh from his three shut

cent Keokuk-Waterloo series, the
premier hurler Of the Andrews tribe
lfelt the sting of defeat at Hubinger
park Sunday afternoon before nearly
LOCO people. The score, 8 to 1.
When the batteries for the game
were announced-C helette for Water
loo and Whitaker for Keokuk- those
fans settled back in their seats with
the expectation of seeing a great
pitchers battle. And it would have
been one had Keokuk not given Bill
Whitaker two run lead in the open
Ing session. These two runs looked al
most as good as a million, and
Chelette did not seem to be such a
great puzzle after all.

Sporting Views
By The Editor

In the first inning of yesterdays
game a question acrose as to how many
bases Jack was entitled to. Jack was
on first base and Chellette wound up
giving Jack an easy steal OF second.
Chelette pitched the ball and Miller
hit to right. According to the ground
rules the hit was good for only two
bases. It was commended that Jack
had stolen second and was entitled to
home. This is not correct, however,
the attempt to steal second being
part of the play and not completed
because the ball pitched during that
steal was hit. The scorer would have
to give Jack stolen base which was
impossible under the circumstances.
Garrett ruled that Jack was entitled
only to third.
Tierney, who played centerfleld for
Waterloo yesterday, was formerly
with Monmouth.
Patrick. the recruit pitcher signed
by Keokuk, worked out for few min
utes yesterday before the game just
to timber up his wing. The Burline-
ton Hawk-Eye says that Patrick is
with fast aggregation and his fault
will show up more readily than II he
had signed with a weaker organiza-
ton.
A Waterloo paper says: Had the
Keokuk bunch OF children been rob
bed OF $40 and three gold watches in
Waterloo, Justice would probably
have suspended Andrews for life. And
another thing. Had 1t not been for
the money paid Manush for the three
games here the robber would have
been sorely disappointed individual.
The following from the Monmouth
Review will show the spirit OF the
Monmouth fans very clearly.
"FTaternal Booster Day for the
Monmouth Browns will be big thing
in this city and the various fraternal
orders Of this city are having fine
race to see which one disposes of the
largest number Of tickets for the day.
The booster day will be held tomor.

Whitaker Strong In PInehes.

Keokuk found the Waterloo star for
eleven safeties, Just five more than
were made off Whitaker. The hits
off Chelette were punched in several
Innings, while Whitaker went along
steadily. always strong with men on
bases. Whitaker outpitched Chelette
throughout the game, and both heav-
ers were given fair support.
The game was entirely devoid of
anything of sensational character,
ard scarcely a good feature in the
play remains to be told. The chances
were easy in the field, and those
which gave the infield an opportunity
OF doing some real pastiming, were
not accepted. Keokuk presented a
changed lineup, several pitchers be-
ing used. McGafigan was still an
absentee.

Scoring in First.

Bill Whitaker held Waterloo score
less during the first four innings, and
did not allow hit until the fourth,
when Tannehill opened with a single,
only to be forced out at second.
Keokuk climbed into the scoring in
the first inning by some handsome
clouting, especially on the part Of
| Manager George Manusn. seneff
singled to left, but was caught OFF
FIRST on Chelette's tricky delivery.
Manush then delivered a long three
Dagger to right field, Jack walked and
Miller caught one on the nose and
turned it into the right field foul line
lfor two sacks, scoring Manush. and
holding Jack on third because of the
ground rule that allowed only two
bases on the hit Jack scored later
however when lilly rolled one to the
pitcher.

When those in charge Of a petition

PRINCETON
Graduate College Was Open
ed Today

Princeton, N. j., Sept. 25-The new
Princeton Graduate College, the first
of its kind in this country was open
ed her today with a promising en-
rollment. 1t is believed by the found
ers of this college that its opening
will mark an important development
in college education in the United
States. The only institution of sim.
liar kind are to be found at the Eel
lows College at Oxford, at Cam
bridge, England and in connection
with several continental universities.
The need of graduate college has
been felt for long time at Princeton
1t was first mentioned during the re-
gime of President Wilson, and plans
for carrying the work were started
shortly afterward Graduate work
has been included in the Cours-
es of the university since 1887, during
the administration of President
James McCosh, when Princeton was
still the college of New Jersey. No
attempt was made to give graduate
students separate home until "Mer-
! wick" an estate of eleven acres in
Bayard lane, was purchased
few years ago as a temporary resi-
dence hall.

ants in the various courses which
they are pursuing, and accommoda-
tions are given to them in the dormi-
tories.
The present equipment of the grad
uate college consists of five large and
handsome buildings, entirely fire
proof, heated with steam and lighted
with electricity. All students's rooms
are completely furnished, including ev-
en- window curtains, bedding and bed
linen. A single suite includes usual

The present capacity of the graduate
college is 102 students and it is ex-
pected that in year or two it will
be possible to accommodate consid-
cradle more students. The classes are
held In the university halls and the
regular members OF the faculty are
the instructors. 1t is planned, how
ever, to secure the service of num-

LOSSES
From Forest Fires Have
Been Low This Year
According To Report Issued
By The Government

With the middle of September the
fire season on the national forests has
come practically to an end with less
damages than ever recorded. There is
always some danger from careless
ness of campers or of settlers burning
brush and clearing land, but the real
danger season extends only from the
middle of June until the middle of
September.
Forest officers throughout the west
are congratulating themselves on a
season SO markedly free from heavy
losses. They feel that the immunity
from loss has been due to two princi-
pal causes, partly to a favorable sea-
son, but largely to a much better or
ganization for fire prevention than has
been attained heretofore. The effec-
tiveness of the organization is shown
particularly by the fact that while
there were in all approximately 1880
fires, as against 2,470 last year, yet the
area burned so far this year Is on
ly about $4,000 acres as against 230,I
900 acres in 1912, and 100000 in 1911.
A single administrative district,
which covers the intermountain re-
gion of southern Idaho, western Wy
oming, Utah, Nevada, and western Ari-
zona, gives an example of the most
favorable situation. Only 43 fires
were encountered, 29 of which rigin-
over amounted to only 959 acres, which
is considerably less than four one
hundred-thousands of the total area
patrolled by forest officers in these
states.
California, Arizona, and New Mexico
have suffered most during the past
| season.
The various causes of fires have not
changed greatly in their relative pro-
portions. Railroads and lightning
| head the list, with campers next.
There has been, however, marked
! decrease in the number of fires caused
| by burning brush, which, according to
| the forest officers, indicates closer
cooperation with the settlers in and
near the forests and with timberland
owners in fire prevention and control
1t is still true, nevertheless, that a
large proportion of all fires started are
due to human agencies and may gen
orally be charged against careless
ness. Fires caused by lightning are oi
course not preventable, but the system
of lookouts by which they may be de
tected Immediately after being set Is
greatly lessening the loss from this
source.

PREPARING FOR ROYAL WEDDING

London, Sept. 20 Although there is
still three weeks time in which to
make the necessary arrangements, the
preparations for the wedding of Prince
Arthur of Connaught and Princess
Alexandra Victoria, daughter of the
late Duke of Fife, are nearly complet-
ed. The wedding will take place on
October 10. at the Chapel Royal, st,
James, and to accommodate the large
number of invited guests it was neces-
sary completely to remodel the chap
el. The work is now completed but,
even after the alterations 1t will not
be possible to crowd more than be-
tween 26O and 800 persons into the
structure.
The work of preparing the chapel
was pushed with all might and now
even the covered passageways between
st. James Palace and the chapel, for
the use of the bride and the similar
passageway leading from Clarence
House to the chapel, for the conyen
ience of the Duchess of Cnnaught, have
been finished.
