A Song of France. Out of the mist comes the bugle call rouse ye up from your dream ing;
 Leap to the drums roll one and all up where the heights are gleam- ing;
 Now is the moment to do and dare peasant or prince or rover On to the walls, ye stalwarts there on to the walls and over. What care ye if the path is steep! What if the Maxims rattle? There's never a time to wait or weep in the whirl of the gory battle; There's never a time for one to quail or dream of life in the clover; On to the walls through the morning pale-on to the walls and over. Grimly the black -mouthed cannon stand-grimly the guns are aim ing;
 One more rush and it's hand to hand killing and cutting and maim- ing;
 Such Is life till the tale is done, mon arch or priest or drover- On to the walls through the monday Sun-On to the walls ana over! Deep the trenches, but now the flash on through the shrapnels ra1n- ing;
 On and up in a mad, wild rush quick-for the day is waning; Up where the red glare shows the way-out from the fields of On to the walls through the twilight gray-on to the walls and over. Thinner and thinner the long line grows; think of this on the mor- row;
 Death alone is the red, red rose-life
 but a thorn of sorrow; Look ye neither to left or right peasant or prince or drover- On to the walls through the depths of night-on to the walls and over. On, where the mangled clog the way; on, where the dead are lying; There's never a time in the gory fray to stop for the merely dying On to the line till our final hosts sleep in the crimson clover; On to the walls, though we charge with ghosts-on to the walls and over.

The technical score of the game was to 0.

 The officials of the Chicago club de- clared that an appeal would be made to the directors of the National League, and to the National Com- mission, if necessary. The score: Brooklyn OOOOO4OOO-4 7 8 Chicago ........ .012100O00-4 2
 Batteries: Coombs, Marquard and J. Meyers; Mcconnell, Seaton, Vaughn and Archer and Fischer.

The Real Reason.

We know now one of the real req sons why the grand old or the grand young state of. California has no abiding affection for the Jap. You know. of course, the chief product of California. You are undoubtedly right. Lawn tennis is the answer. With Mclaughlin, Johnston, Bundy Griffin, Murray, Dawson, Strachan and some ten or fifty others uphold ing the prestige of the state. here comes Ichiya Kumagae, the Tokio Tornado, raising the well known deuce.
 Kumagae is good enough to beat Griffin steadily, having won from the star Californian three times in row, and Griffin is no part of a sec ond-rater. No wonder California doesn't look upon Nippon with friend ly eyes.
 It would be as hard a blow to Cal ifornia to have an outsider win the lawn tennis championship as it would he for Georgia to have Ty Cobb bat below 300.

 Roston to be the strongest team while Detroit. appeared to be the best in the west. But I really believe we have It on both of these clubs There is not l a weak spot on the Cleveland team. 1 and it is getting stronger as the season 1 goes on. Early in the campaign I 1 was not so sure of my pitching staff, but l have bolstered it up to such an extent that I believe it is corker. Loudermilk, Coumbe, Coveleskie and 1 Morton are four corkers, while the other members of my twirling staff are dependable men. In another season I believe Morton will give Wal ter Johnson a run for the pitching honors of the American league. Be- ginning August 1, I believe we will have a good lead in the fight for the flag and from then on breeze in as

CHANGE OPENING
Western League Race May
Start Later Next Season.
Middle April Weather Usually
Gives Clubs Bad Start.

1t was officially announced that the
paid attendance at the opening west
ern league at st. Joseph, Mo-, Thurs-
day afternoon between the Savages
and Drummers was S25. Inc atten-
dance at the Denver-Wichita game in
Denver was estimated at 1000 and it
was reported that the Omaha-Des
Moines game at Des Moines drew no
better.
Disagreeable weather was RESPONSE
BILE for the poor attendance in all OF
the places, and in Lincoln the grounds
were so wet that the Lincoln-Sioux
City game had to be postponed. 1t is
probable that the opening date of the
league will be made later next season,
as most of the club owners have ex-
pressed a desire to try to get away
from the bad weather jinx.
Holland Wants Change.
Holland, of st. Joe is in favor of
the month or the first of May, and
John Savage. of the Topeka club, ia
vors a later opening.
During all my experience in the
Western league" Holland said, 81
have observed that we usually have a
spell of good weather about the first
of April, then we have bad spell and
we do not have any more baseball
weather until the first of May. If we
could open the season in time to take
advantage of the first pretty weather,
we then could afford to stand the lean
days that might follow, but when we
have to begin the season losing money,
it hits us all pretty hard. I myself
am in favor of either an earlier or a
later opening for next season.
Savage, of the Topeka club, says
that he favors a later opening date
because there is always long stretch
of good weather following the close of
the season. Also, after the Western
| league closes baseball interest is still
keen among the fans because of the
interest over the big league finishes
and the approaching worlds series.

He Will Be Matched With Dill
lon or Levinsky.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 21.-The
winner of the coming Dillon-Levinsky
scrap, scheduled for Convention hall
here April rs, will be given match
with Frank Moran. The Moran en-
gagement will net the lucky man
flat $4,000.
Ike Dorgan, manager for Moran,
wired the Central A. C. officials
Thursday that he would not sign final
articles for his man until the Dillon
Levinsky winner has been determined.
Due to the many important angles
which have developed, the managers
for Dillon and Levinsky refused to al
low a local referee to officiate and the
two finally agreed upon Ed w. Smith
of Chicago to act as the third man in
the ring.
The Dillon-Levinsky bout is easily
the most important fistic engagement
of the month. Interest in it is nation
wide, due to the fact that this is the
first time the men have fought to a
decision.
The semi-windup to the main show
will be furnished by two famous mid
dleweights, Gus Christie and Vic Han
sen.
