SAFEGUARDING ROYALTY.
Precautions In Olden Days When an
English Monarch Was Ill.

The British law retains some pecul-
lar provisions with reference to the
illness of the king" These provisions
are mere survivals in the present set
tied order Of government. but there
was a time when the kings incapacity
afforded opportunity to aspirants TO
the throne To shorten his day at min
imum risk Of detection. Accordingly
certain wise precautions were matters

clans and surgeons. authorizing them

Coke thus wrote of precedent in
1910. and today the law is practically
as he found it. although now the privy
council simply hears reports of the
progress OF the kings malady and
leaves actual treatment entirely TO the

Ted Sullivan, who will be here next

of ST. Marys college. Way back in
time long ago that memory of
fans runneth to the contrary. he was
captain of one of st. Marys' first base
ball teams. After leaving Kansas he
managed teams and so-calIed teams
in the big leagues, among them the
st. Louis Browns. For a number of
years he has been a scout for the Chi
about as much of the inside workings
of baseball as any living man..
Father McInerney of the Church of
the Assumption of this city is well ac-
quainted with Leo Murphy, the new
Kansas City, Kan, catcher who has
been signed by the management of
the Topeka baseball club. A number
of years ago when Murphy was a lad
of 16, he caught for a team that Faith
er McInerney took to ST. Marys to
play the st. Marys nine. So perfect
was Murphy's catching and Father
Mc!nerney's team played such good
ball that no one at ST. Marys seems to
remember just the final score of the
game.

This is one of the distinctive fea-
lures about ST. Marys. The faculty
mind in a sound body. Further, it
goes on the theory that all work and
no play makes Jack dull boy. This
is made plain to a visitor at the school
campus. In addition to the big,
double gymnasium, the grounds are
literally covered with recreation re-
serves of one sort or another. There
court, a swimming pool big enough to
baptize a herd of elephants in, a base
ball diamond and football field.
The two gymnasiums are in one
building. One, the big one is for the
exclusive use of the big boys, and the
other is the private property of the
and billiard room, a wireless station,
places to coast and skate and 1000
acres of ground on which those who
desire can chase rabbits to their
hearts content.
All of these things naturally lead
every student into some kind of ath-
leticS, and give the boys a spirit of
true craftsmanship that makes them
support their teams and organizations
to, the last ditch.
The Ottawa Game
But to get back to basketball and to
say something of the grand finale of
the season that closed yesterday af-
ternoon when ST. Marys defeated OF
tawa so to Is:
The game was called shortly after
2:30 o'clock and both teams got away
under full steam with a determination
to win. Miller led off in the scoring
by making a field goal for ST Marys,
and E. Taylor chalked up Ottawa's
first point by bagging a free throw.
During the first half Taylor added five
more points on free throws and also
tossed field goal. Hanson piled on
two more field goals. Miller made
another for st. Marys and Isele made
two free goals. The score at the end
of the first half stood: St. Marys, II;
Ottawa, 10.
In the second period Ottawa only
scored twice, once on r. Taylor's field
goal and once when E. Taylor bagged
free throw. Casse1I added four
fielders to ST. Mrays' string, Miller
made two and Isele two and two free
pointers The lineup and score were
