COLUMBUS TEAM DIsBANDS;
SEASON COMES TO CLOSE
INDIANOLA TAKES THE FINAL
GAME BY A SCORE OF
l TO O.

The baseball season in Columbus
came to close yesterday afternoon,
the final game of a series with In
dianola having resulted in the score
of | to 0 in favor of the visitors. The
local team disbanded last night,
owing OF the fact that the support on
the part of local fans has not been
the best, and Mr.. +. L. kuykendall,
president of the team here, thought
it advisable to bring the season to a
close.
In the game yesterday afternoon
Harris, on the local firing line,
struck out nine men, and although
he allowed only three hits, the Wis
itors succeeded in making run in
the second inning. Ridley, who
pitched for Indianola, allowed only
five hits.
Score: r. H. E.

ris and Stapleton. Umpire, Stringer.
Columbus and Indianola crossed
bats at Lake Park Friday afternoon
and the visitors won the game by 8
score of s to 1. Roberts pitched fol-
Columbus and Suggs was on the fir
ing line for Indianola, and each al
lowed an equal number of hits. bu1
errors in the field at inopportun'
times were responsible for the de
feat of the locals. There was a large
crowd present and rooters cheeret
vociferously at several brilliant play
made by the Columbians. Among th'
features most worthy of Favorable
comment we're the fielding and hit
ting of Shaw, who plays left fiel'
for Stapleton's aggregation. All In
dianolians swatted effectively, sev
eral -baggers having been mad
by members Of the team.

Camera Men and War Pictures.

The camera man In search of lively
war pictures often enjoys the protec-
ton Of special guard. which Is espe-
cially detailed TO protect him. Since
the camera does not shoot as far as n
gun, the photographer often works at
an immense disadvantage. The cam
era makes conspicuous target and
often draws tho enemy's fire. The spe-
cial camera guard. which originated In
one of the early Villa campaigns In
Mexico. consists Of two picked men,
perhaps more. who accompany the pho
tographer or skirmish ahead of him to
render his position as safe as possible
when the camera is set up Many
thousands of feet Of war film have
been made while sharpshooters on
both sides kept up steady and effec-
tive fire. A guard of two American In
dams, both crack shots, were employed
for many weeks to protect l.. NJ.

LEGEND OF Holyrood Palace.

IolyrCod palace. Edinburgh, Scot
lind. once n British royal residence, is
the subject of strange legend. Rob
crt Louis Stevenson alludes TO it in his
little book Oh Edinburgh. There is a
silly story" he writes. ''of subterra-
mean passage between the castle of
Hollywood and a bold highland piper
who volunteered to explore its wind
lngs. He made his entrance by the up
per end, playing strathspey. The Gu
rious footed it after him down the
street, following his descent by the
sound of the chanter from below until
all of sudden, about the level of St
Giles. the music came abruptly to an
end and the people in the street stood
at fault with hands upliftcd. Whether
he was choked with gases or persisted
in quag or was removed bodily by
the evil one remains point of doubt,
but the piper has never again been
seen or heard of from that day TO
this"

STAGE Names and Real.

The extent to which favorite ac-
tresses are somebody else off the stage
is not we'll understood. Actors gener-
ally play under their own names. but
the woman who has achieved repu-
tation before marriage prefers TO re-
tain the name under which she became
known rather than assume that Of her
husband. Some women, too, play
while unmarried under another name
than the real one.
For instance, Maude Adams is really
Miss Kiskadden. and Marie Dressler
Is Leila Koerber Jack and Ethel Bar
rymorc are properly called Blythe. and
Truly Shattuck is Clarice Etrulia de
Bucharde. name rather too long for
the stage. Theater goers seem to like
short names easily remembered, TriXie
E'riganZa is really Della Edna O'Calla-
nan, and Mary Mannering is Florence
Friend; Elsie Janis was formerly Elsie
Bierbower, and Margaret Anglin is
Mary Warren. And so it goes through

One Helped Him to Attain Success, the
Other to Retain II.
In the case OF Wagner we find fe-
male influence exerting strong power
in some of his compositions
The accomplishing devotion of his
first wife can scarcely be exaggerated.
During the Paris days Of poverty she
trudged about seeking and obtaining
loans for her husband "a Wagnerian
loan was practically gift, she took in
dodgers in their humble apartments,
she BACKED the boots of husband and
lodger.
She sewed and washed and drudged
only to be SGT aside when the days Of
prosperity came and when she object
ed to her husband seeking inspiration
from the wives of other men. Such
inspiration he found in Mathilde We
sendonck. who was the chief factor in
bringing forth Tristan und Isolde"
