FIRST HOME RUN OFF MATTY
"Wee Willie" sudhoff Turned the
Trick at the Polo Grounds, but
Did Not Win His Game.

gagged in a regular pitchers battle.
They were both right-handed, but that

six feet tall, the other was five feet
and about two inches over
On June 81, 1901, at the Polo
grounds, the home of the New York
Giants, these two hurlers battled for
five innings without allowing a run. In
the sixth the visitors managed to get
a man on with their midget hurler up,
the little chap who had been
pitching his head off and come in from
his task with the sweat streaming
down his face.
Brushing out his eyes with his fists,
he picked up his little bat and walked
up to the plate. The big pitcher
smiled a rather plying smile, but
didn't let up on his speed. He flashed
the ball through with all the stuff he
had, and the little fellow swung at
1t with all the stuff he had-and his
teammates declare with his eyes shut.
However, an awful crack followed. and
the ball sped away beyond any field

around the bases, chasing the other
fellow in.
When he reached the home plate he
paused and posed for a moment, then
drew himself up to his full height

LONE SPECTATOR WAS READY
Umpire Hart Relates Peculiar Expert.
ence in Western League-Bleach-
erite Was "AIl Set"

William Hart, the new umpire in the
National league, who is making good
in fine fashion, has been identi-
fled with baseball more than 80 years.
Until recently he still was able to
pitch, and in his day he was n Of
the best twirlers in the business.
This is not Harris first experience
as an umpire. Several years ago he
umpired in the old Western league for
a season and then went back to
pitching again. The veteran is full
of queer stories of his experiences.
Recently he told this one on himself:
"One day when / was umpiring in
the Western league / got to Kansas
City. The club had been going poor
ly, and when the game time came
around there were only eight specta-
tors in the grand stand and one man
sitting in the bleachers. He had an
umbrella over him, for the day was
sitting hot.
when 1t came time to
the batteries, / announced them to the
eight patrons in the grand stand, and

nouncement to the bleachers. So 1
walked down to where the solitary
bleacherite was sitting, and, taking
off my cap, l yelled:
Ladies and gentlemen: The bat.

for Kansas City, Green and Brown for
Omaha!'

gesture with his arm and replied:

that he forgot all about the art of
pitching, and before he landed on
earth again the Giants had tied the

won the game in the ninth by the

homer made off the delivery of Matty

repeatedly demonstrated it's prefer
ence for Austrian rule, the campaign
for lfberating the Servian brothers
from the Austrian yoke has been kept
up with frequent outbursts of anti
Austrian clamor in Belgrade. To this
clamor Russia, always jealous of Aus
tria, has lent her secret and some
times her open support.
The annexation Of Bosnia-Herze-
govina by Austria in 1909 produced a
wild demand in Servia for immediate
war to liberate the Bosnian brothers
from Austrian rule. At that timej
however, Russia was not ready for acl
ton against Austria, so the clamor
spent itself in torrid speeches and
fervid press declarations.
Occupied Adriatic Ports.
Pashitch was premier of Servia in
1912, at the outbreak of the Balkan
war. He saw an opportunity to block
Austria's long-sought road to the
Aegean sea. The first objective points
Of the Servian armies in the first war
were the ports of the Adriatic, In
what is now Albania. These, with the
help of Montenegro, Servia occupied
in the first stages Of the struggle.
At this stage, however, Pashitch's
calculations were upset by Austria.
Acting in conjunction with Italy,
which also had pretensions to the
country Inhabited by the aboriginal
stock of the Balkan peninsula, the
Austrian government succeeded in in,
ducing Europe to order Servia, Greece
and Montenegro out of the Adriatio
territory occupied by them, and set
aside this region IS an Independent
state, to be called Albania.
Servians Nursed Their Wrath.
The negotiations which Pashitch
conducted in this phase of the Balkan
struggle were protracted and delicate,
but eventually the Austro-Italian de-
mand was carried out, and the Ser
VANS nursed their wrath.
For the success Of his defiant atti-
tude toward Austria, Pashitch depend
ed almost entirely upon Russia. 1t
was realized clearly by General Put
mix, the Servian chief Of staff, that re-
%sistance to Austria upon the field of
battle would be unthinkable, so far
as an ultimate triumph for Servian
arms is concerned.
In the course Of the past score OF
years Servia has been conducting an
active agitation among the Slavic

OF the success of this plan there is
grave doubt, however, as the Catholic

TRAINING SCHOOL MEETING
All Instructors Are Called to Confer
With State superintendent
Aug. 24-27.

All instructors in teachers training
schools have been called to confer
with c. G.. Schulz. state superintendent
of education, at the state capitol Aug.
"a to 81.
The new supervisor of training de-
partments, MiSs Mabel Carney, who
came from Illinois to organize the
work of the teachers training schools
in Minnesota, will attend and will
meet most of the instructors for the
first time.
The inspectors of the high school
board and prominent educators will be
present and the results, it is hoped
by Mr.. Schultz, will be Of decided adj
vantage to the newest activity in the
state educational work.
Many of the high schools encour-
aged by the special aid from the state,
have organized teachers training
courses, but their work largely has
been isolated and to some extent un-
systematic through lack of general
supervision.
The subject for discussion in which
all are expected to participate are:
The general course of study for
training departments including: (a) A
discussion of the list of studies to be
included in the normal year. OBJ The
content of the sub-normal high school
course for training students.
Special rural courses and pedagogy
courses to be offered in the training
department and their content and di-
rection.
Practice work and the possibilities
Of rural observation and practice
schools.
How to secure and maintain an
op%en-country spirit in the training de-
partments.
The relationships of the training
teacher and training Departmental
county superintendent, city superin-
tendent, local school board and others.
Equipment of the training depart
ment, furnishings, library, industrial
materials, etc.

up, the state trust funds also were re-
celving substantial additions, the

Red Wing.-With the possibility
that transatlantic traffic might be
completely interrupted following the
step yesterday of the North German
Lloyd Steamship line which
ed thai none of the steamers of the
line would sail from New York until
further notice and that two of the
liners have been taken off the service,
u to the troubled conditions in Eu-
rope, several parties of Red Wing tour
lists may have to delay their trip home
for a short time at least.
American tourists, the reports say,
have shown a tendency to leave Eu-
rope TO avoid being bottled up, but
already the situation is such that there
is a possibility of involuntary delays.
All ships are filed to capacity until
the middle of September, it is report
ed, and to what extent the liners will
operate If the al should develop into
the threatened enlargement is prob
lematical. Foreigners have the full pro-
lection of the various governments and

TO INCREASE ENROLMENT
Students of Gustavus AdoIphus Col
iege Set Mark at Five
Hundred.

st. Peter.-There are excellent pros
poets for a round half-thousand stu
dents at Gustavus Adolphus college
this fall. Workers in the Five Hun
dred club, a student organization,
have shown great activity, and the in
creased enrolment is the result of
their efforts.
Last spring, on the completion of
the college endowment fund of $780,
900, the Five Hundred club was
formed at a mass meeting of under
graduates, each student pledging him
self to do his utmost to prevail upon
some person to matriculate at Gus
tayus Adolphus. During the summer
months the students have worked
hard to redeem their pledges. By
personal solicitation and in other ways
they have sought to interest new stu
dents in the local institution, and they
have been successful to a degree that
has exceeded the expectations Of the
college authorities. So effective has
been theil canvas that letters of in
quiry have been received from all
parts of the northwest, and it is now
apparent that the enrolment is to be
increased materially.
This fall the college will open a
week later than heretofore, but it will
not close until two weeks beyond the
usual time. Monday and Tuesday,
Sept. 6 and Z, are to be registration
days, and regular class work will be
taken up on Sept. 8. In the past the
college year has come to a close the
third week in May. Next spring it will
continue till the first week in June,
commencement falling on the third of
that month.
