 The Times Condemned
 The Times he said, was condemned for publishing things about Parnell which were not true. If we had English laws in France there would have been no Figaro campaign.
 He had been accused of criminal pre- varication in the Rochette afYair and of treason in connection with the Franco German treaty. To this he replied: we are simple bourgeois; we have no coronet. but we will defend our honor and our honesty. The postronement of the Rochette case was a step for which I would not hesitate to take the respon- sibility even today He emphasized his words by striking the bar with his clenched fists.

ing to exert his influence either for or against the home rule bill''
 The remarkable speech of King George at yesterdays conference at Bucking- ham palace already has provoked bitter press comment. The immediate ques- ton is whether the King prepared and delivered the speech of his own initiative, whether it was after consultation and with the aequiesoence of responsible min isters, or whether, as the extremists dc not hesitate to suggest, if was under the direct influence of the Carsonites.
 All morning newspapers in the editorial comment seize on the phrase. 'The cry of civil war is on the lips of the most responsible and sober minded of my peo- ple." While the unionist journals describe the speech as a patriotic appeal, which will rally the nation behind the throne the liberal organs accuse the King of exceeding his prerogative.
 Dublin, July 22.-The Irish Independent in an editorial deprecates the King speech at the Buckingham palace con ference as "a misguided effort for the welfare of Ireland"
 The paper says his majesty has laid himself open to the suspicion of allowing himself to be influenced almost exclusive. ly by tory views, whereas he ought tc have made 1t dear that he was acting without party prejudice.

His Teams Have Never Finished

Conference Races,

X baseball teams are not the only
ones that are taking the
trouble Of making Southern trips, to
get in condition for the coming sea

starts out this week on its trip South,

Tech Friday and Saturday. Under
the leadership of George Huff Hi
rois won the championship Of the
Western Conference for twelve sue
cessive years up until 1912
Huff entered the University of Illi-
nois in 1888: in 1889 he played guard
on the football team, later going to
Dartmouth where he made the base
ball, football and track teams. As
a punter and drop kicker Huff was
the Brickley of his day. He returned
from Dartmouth to accept his present
position as director of athletics and
baseball coach Of the University OF
Illinois. He was the first coach to
teach his players ito wait out the
pitcher" a system which has since
been adopted by many big league
managers.
HUFF has had a very successful
IL career as a baseball scout, and
has been considered the best in TINS
profession. He has served as scout
for the Cubs and Maps. While at IN
nois he has developed such players
al Jake Stahl, last years manager
of the Red Sox; Fred Falkenberg:
Carl Lundwren. Pfeffer and others OF
less renown He is credited with hav-
ing found such players as Joe Tinker
Frank Schultz, Johnny Evers and Ar
tie Hoffman. Huff withdrew last year
as a scout for the big show, and IS
now devoting all his time to attn
letics at Illinois.
Under Huff's direction the Illinois
team has never been lower than sec

ground keeper on the fence as a look
out, while l ordered another man to
warm up. Just three minutes before
the call Of the game the lookout let
out a whoop, and informed me that
Rube had just turned a corner and
was coming Ike an express train,
down the road.
| dashed for the gate ready to cuss,
but when I looked at that big smiling
boy l couldn't help smiling. He was
the biggest natural kid I ever saw,
and had to say; why, hello, RUDE!
l had you down to pitch to-day. How
do you feel?"
Feel fine, Connie" said Rube, and
If you'll give me about two minutes TO
warm up. l will be fine and dandy.
Just rode twenty miles from the lake,
and feel great"
Rube was into his suit in two
shakes Of lambs tail, and tossing
a half dozen balls to his catcher, he
yelled: "'The whip IS great Connie;
bring on the ,aints!"
And then he began one Of those
wonderful pitching sessions that mare
his name a household word. | never

out ST. Paul without q man reaching

Sunday. and RUDE was tossing
for US. Evidently he had had hard
night, for they kept stealing hit
now and then But RUDE managed
to retire the side each inning before
a run crossed the pan.
It came to the last half Of the
ninth inning with the bush team
at bat. The first man up lined one
at Rube's head, and got his base.
with two strikes and three balls on
the next man, Rube sent over a slow
one. and the man banged II down
toward first for another safety. I
was getting sore again. The next
man up put one over third, and the
bases were full.
I was Just going to call RUDE OFF
