The magnitude of the surrender of

quickly the Russians will be able to
press the advantages deprived there

Silesia continued to be the chief topics
of discussion in the war news to-day.
The Russians are putting the for

to be the aim Of the team, something
must be done and done in a hurry.
Eliminating that first game here
when two raw pitchers with nothing but

thirty-seven hits In seven games. This
Is averaging 5.2S hits and l.42 runs to

Tomorrow the GrIffmen open their
first invasion OF the West. Unless they

will find II most diff1cult to get up into

be made while there is yet time TO

fans. who want nothing In all this

show, will gladly welcome such shifts
as will put the team UP around the top.
II Clark Griffith wants to shake up his

By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

PHILADELPHIA, May S.-If the

But if he is content to run along
with his present collection of lads
in the daily games, Washington's
chances will fade away before this
present trip is ended.
Considering batting, fielding and
running as requisites for a big
Lacquer, Eddie Foster and Dan Noel

their standards. Morgan and Milan
are fast approaching top notch form
in all three departments. The others

Cattle for North End of County

A car lot of fine Holstein cattle
passed through this city during
the past week on the way to
Bayfield, where they were dis
tributed to the farmers of the
north end of the county. A
large number of cattle went to
the Cornucopia district. The
cattle were purchased through
the First National Bank of Bay
field on what is know as the
"Iron River plan" whereby the
farmers pay for the cattle from
the proceeds of the milk.
The banks in Washburn have
purchased a large number OF
cattle for the farmers of this
district on the same plan and
many of the farmers OF this
district are now building up
fine herds.

1t was reported in the city the

This report was started when
some one noticed men engaged
in the work of tearing out some
of the old scrap iron in the build

building, says some scrap iron
was sold to peddler and this is
how the story started.
This old building would make

manufacturing institution and

a reasonable figure. 1t might be
