Sporting Views
By the Editor

Tonight Is the night for the big
excursion On the steamer Sidney. It's
up to fans to get together this even
ing and fill the boat to capacity. The
entertainments and amusements to be
offered by the management should
help make it the biggest event of the
kind for the year. It's up to the fans
to do the rest.
The boys rested today, the sehed-
uled game being postponed until Sun
day when the Red Sox will play a
double header here. The burlington
team played an exhibition game at
Medfapolis, wherever that is. Many
Of the local players planned to spend
their vacation or a fishing trip, but
rain prevented them from going this
morning. &
It was hoped this morning that the
weather would clear up in time for
the excursion this evening. 1t was
impossible to tell until late this even
in; whether o. not the excursion
would have to be called off.
Umpire Boswell has been coming in
for a lot of criticism by papers all
around the circuit. Whether the par
~ticularly warm comments in the
Hawk-Eye yesterday morning is re-
sponsible for the following is still a
matter of doubbt, but here's what the
Hawk-Eye said today:
Umpire Boswell, who has been act
ing in this capacity in Burlington for
the past few days, Jumped some
time yesterday, as he was not present
at the ball park yesterday afternoon.
It is not known definitely just where
he is in hiding, but he was seen "hik-
ing" for the depot at about 2:15 yes.
terday afternoon. However. he car
ried no luggage, so it was not thought
he planned leaving.
1t is a rather serious thing for an
umpire to desert, as If he is getting
paid for being here this is the place
he should be, and If he really was not
kept away because of a good reason
there Is little doubt that he will have
no other trials in this capacity in the
future.
He really was little better than
nothing, in the opinion Of the major
ity Of the fans, but nevertheless he
should have been on the grounds to
render what service he could.
In the absence Of the official arbi-
ter Burg Of the local team and Fair
cloth of the Muskies, acted as I'M
pires by agreement Of the two mana
gers. They gave general satisfaction
but got all "balled up" In one in
stance.

They were going 10 send 1t to Lucille
Marston. who lived across the street,

All that evening they worked like
bees making the May basket. Early
the next morning they went TO the
woods not far away and gathered
some flowers and filed the basket to
overlooking. Way up under the leaves
they hid candy 1t was nearly 9 o'clock
when they put the finishing touches
to the basket. but they felt well re-
paid for their work, for the basket
was beautiful, to say the least. They
could not agree as to which one should

They held the basket behind them

girls should see them, they could not

A BRAVE KING

So much a man Of steel and iron
does Frederick the Great appear
when we read of him. that very few
ever forget the soldier and the king
and find the real man hidden within.
But there is always man within"
and in this case it is a very human
man, and one right we'll worth the
trouble of digging out, as you will
find If you care to undertake the
task.
One thing about this great ruler
that appeals to every boy in the land
who reads of him Is his truly as

One of the most thrilling events
Of FfedericlSs thrilling life occurred
just after the famous battle of LISA.
Flushed and excited with victory, the
Prusstan king rode at a hreakneck
pace after the retreatlng Austrfans.
Faster and faster went the enemy,
and right at their pitter-pattering
heels galloped Frederick. So fast
did his great war horse go that very
soon he was entirely alone. few of

On and on rode Frederick. and at

the road he dashed right into the
center OF a large body OF Austrian
soldiers. Before he could even
check his horse he was through the
ranks. and right behind another large
body that was hustIng along on the
double quick.
Any other man would have utterly
lost his head In the rip of such con-
ditions. But not the king OF all the
Prussiansl Danger always seemed to
bring TO Frederick calnness and

On this occasion he at once wheel
