Titles For the Crown Prince.

The German crown prince, who has
entered on his thirty-fourth year is
known in England by a title to which
South Germans object, or used to
object when they had time. He is
strictly 'Kronprinz des deutschen
Refches" That is his official style
corresponding to his fathers title of
''Deutscher Kaiser" OF course the
English of it is either crown prince
of the German empire or German
prince imperial" German crown
prince misses just the essential part
of it, and might denote the son and
heir of a king of Germany. More
over, as South Germans point out,
there are several German crown
princes.-Pall Mall Gazatte.

Hitting the ball when every blow
counted, the Notre Dame Day Dodg-
ers won a to 4 game of baseball
from the high school at Leeper field
yesterday afternoon.
Sullivan, the new star on the high
school hurting armament, received his
initial baptism in the combat and dis
ported himself in a manner that
gives promise for future games. He
had plenty of stuff on the pill, and
was going just as good at the finish
as he was at the start, many Of the
hits being dukes on account of bad
bounds over the heads of the infeld-
ers. Cassidy hurled a steady game
for the Day Dodgers, tightening up
whenever he got in danger.
Considerable clouting was INDUCED
pillows in nearly every frame. The
n. j. lads were the first to score,
filing the bases in the first inning but
clever work by the high school infield
held the count down TO two. Again
In the sixth, an error and three hits
in succession piled up two more counts
for the college performers, while in
the ninth they landed four hits, two
Of which were bad bounds that eluded
the infield and piled up their last two
runs.
Not until the fifth when two hits
and three stolen bases gave them a
couple of runs We're the high school
lads able to do any offensive work.
In the seventh they connected for two
blows and sent across a runner. while
