CHICAGO, July 21-When the South
ern League season ends Billy smith
will send two Of his noble young attn
letes to the Climbers, according to the
agreement he has with Clark Griffith,
and there is much speculation as to the
identity of the players chosen by the
Old Fox. Four Crackers stand out
prominently in the work of the team
this season and Griffith can have his
pick Of them.
Tommy Long. who has received TWO
trials with the Nationals already, Is the
hitting and base running sensation or
the Southern League The little Fellow
from Gadsden, Ala. is hitting for close
to .375 and running away from all back
stops on the bases. II he has improved
any in his pegging, and 1t has been
whispered TO Manager Griffith that he
has 70 some extent. he may be with the
Climbers this fall and next spring.
Gilbert Price, who worked one inning
for the Griffmen last year under the
name of Schegg. has made hatter1nS
record in the box for the Crackers. He
is n southpaw with good, loose style
of delivery. He has pitched excellent
hall for Billy Smith this season and
is still a youngster.
Warly Smith, the scrappy, hard-hitt-
ing thirdsacker, is another who may
come 10 Washington for a trial. While
his batting average is not so high. =.
has the saving faculty of clouting Che
pill in the pinches.
Elliott Dent. the pitcher sent to At
,anta this spring by Manager Griffith,
or Harry abbey, the fleet-footed out
fielder, given a trial two years ago by
the New York Yankees, is the fourth
nm for consideration by the Old Fox.
Dent has pitched smooth ball for the
Crackers, once he got into condition.
He is still young enough for a big
league trial. and may return to the
Climbers in September. Bai!ey's speed
is said to equal that Of Milan. and good
Judges OF players say he can improve
In his hitting with proper coaching.

By BRYAN MORSE.

while today's Bankers-Cornell game
is expected to draw we'll in the Capital
City circuit, tomorrow's contest on the
White Lot EIIipse between the Aggies
and Interior is expected to prove the
banner attraction of the Departmental
League games this year.
1t is expected that there will be the
largest attendance of the year on the
grass on the EIlipse and from the talk
relative to the contest it would be well
to get down early and get a good seat.
There is little doubt but that the game
will prove interesting not only for the
reason that there is considerable rivalry
between the teams and their factions.
but for the fact that a win for the
Aggies will give them the league lead
ership.
Interior has held possession of the
top rung practically all season. Some
five weeks ago the Aggies got the
hunch that they wanted the Depart
mental League title and started in to
get going. The signing of several star
players has helped the team out and
the distance between the Farmers and
the leaders has been gradually narrow
ed down
Tomorrow's game is expected to tell
the tale whether or no the Farmers
are going to win out in the league and
be able to battle with the others for the
post-season title.
Petworth and Fairmont will battle to-
day in the Federal League. and the con-
test should be well worth taking a trip
to see. In the last engagement the
teams put up a great article of base
ball and the result was decided by one
run.
The Spartan A. c.. which got together
for a subscription for the Walter John
son Gun Fund' defeated the BaIIston
team yesterday by 6-to-3 score. Gray,
who pitched for the Spartans was in ex-
cellent form, allowing but four hits and
tanning thirteen batters.
Fairmonts hammered Chism all over
the lot yesterday, winning from Park
view by to s. The losers made the
most of their four hits, and took advan-
tage of FaiTmont errors.
Sherwood and Printers are topping the
Central League list, with Y. NJ. II. A.
but one game behind. The league race
promises TO develop in a good struggle,
and, while Sherwood appears TO have
the bulge on the others, there is no
doping ahead just what will happen.
President Cornelius is offering good
games daily and the teams appear to
be fairly evenly matched. Should any
other team except Sherwood win the
second half of the seasons games 4
play-off will be necessary.
St. Stephens players in the Marquette
League maintain that Trinity is not 50
far ahead that il cannot be overhauled.
ST. Stephens suffered somewhat in the
last meeting with Trinity, but is expect
ing to come through with more wins.
War Department has come from last
nIace In third and while there is no
chance to win the title the team may
throw a scare into the two leaders.
The Hyattsville A. c. is playing four
games this week, and will be thorough.

day. The Bankers are met again on

ST. JosEPH's COLLEGE OF
DUBUQUE.

On Sunday morning, April q, DIR.
Walsh, so well known as the former
Dean of Fordham University, deliver
ed lecture at st. Joseph's College
on ''The Meaning of Suffering" The
subject was especially appropriate
after the recent disasters in the
country. When any great misfortune
occurs men at once begin to ask if
there is a beneficent Providence, and
if so, why does He permit so great
suffering. The speaker then proved
that pain is not an evil, but con-
slant reminder which brings home
to us that we are weak beings in our
selves. When misfortune befalls
men it makes them more conscious
of their duties toward God. Pain is
also sent to try men to see if they
are worthy of the reward which
awaits them in the next world. If
there were no eternity, then the
Creator would be unjust in inflicting
pain upon men during this life. In
spite of the theories of goddess scien-
lists we believe there is an eternity in
which just Providence will reward
or punish men according to their de-
serts. In conclusion, the speaker
cited the example of Job, who was
visited with great pain and misfor-
tune, and yet, because he remained
faithful and patient, was doubly re-
warded even in this life.
The College choir returned home
Saturday, April 26, after weeks tour
of northeastern Iowa, where they gave
sacred concerts at Mason City, Os-
sian, Cresco, Lansing, Waukon and
McGregor. The tour was a grand
success and the singers were greeted
by large audiences at each place.
That the singing was fully appreci-
ated is seen from the newspaper no
tees of the several towns. Father
Dress, the director, received many
compliments for the splendid results
accomplished by his organization.
The St. Joseph's College Band ap-
peared on the principal streets of the
city on Saturday, attired in new uni
forms which are of a dark blue with
black braid trimmings. The members
showed that they have acquired
much skill, and the organization bids
fair to become one of the best in the
state.
