 But, when you've done with it, say "These T. R.'s are there with the
 stick.
 Say they are out for the thrill, Giving the grandstand lay;
 Trying to top-line the bill,
 Trying in his Whirl-i-gig way; Trying to sew up the fray;
 Peg if you care to, the brick; But, if you are through with it say These T. R's are there with the
 stick"
 Cheer when they come to spill; Jeer at them day after day;
 Lay out their pathway uphill, Call them conceited, passe;
 Each time they try to get gay, Rise, if you will, with a kick;
 But, when you're done with it say '"These T. DIS are there with the

 Step up and wallop the whey
 Out of each pose that they pick; But, when you're through with it, say These T. R.'s are there with the

 Big Pitching Years. What is considered a big average number of games for a pitcher to work in through a season." queries H. G. F. Rounding up an average is no simple task, but the high-run seasons of leading pitchers might offer some line on the subject. Mathewson's hardest season was in 1908, when he took part in 56 games. His next fattest campaign was in ! 1914, when he took part in 48 games. 1 Iathewson has pitched in 40 games ' or more g of his 16 seasons. Ed Walsh was the long distance king of them all. In 1908 Walsh took active part in 66 games, nearly half the battles fought. It is note worthy that in 1908, the two years i Matty and Walsh did their greatest work, the Giants and White Sox were both beaten out of the pennant by one game. In 1911 Walsh took part in 5 5 games and he toiled in 62 games i'll 1912. No wonder he passed out as a star before his prime was over They pitched his arm off and his heart out because he was willing to shoulder the burden. Walter Johnson's two tough sea- seasons were 50 games in 1912 and 51 games in 1914. Johnson has pitched in 40 games or more every season since 1908. Alexander's big year was last season, when he worked in 49 games Big Alex has worked in from i 46 to 49 games each year he has been ] with the Phillies, showing the general \ consistency of his endurance. Larry Cheney worked in A games for the Cubs in 1916 and 50 games in | 1914.

The reports at the meeting show that the company is getting into good condition and that the net earnings this year may show a further increase as a result of the purchase of the new steamships. Like other Seattle companies operating in the Alaska trade, the Alaska Steamship Company recently raised its freight and pas senger rates, but, according to stock holders, the increase in revenue will be offset by higher cost of operation, higher taxes, higher insurance rates and the like and in meeting the re- Quiremeuts of the seamen's act.

WISCONSIN CADETS DEFEND CITY OF MADISON
 FROM INVADING ENEMY

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 MADISON, Wis, May 1O.-A bat tie in which University of Wisconsin cadets are defending the city of Madi- son from an attacking force is the main feature of the annual inspection of the university military corps by Major Monroe Mcfarland of the gen eral staff of the United States army, today.
 The attacking force is advancing from Eagle Heights, point three and a half miles from the university. The invaders awaited endorsements at Eagle Heights, then advanced on the University boys encamped in a marsh two miles from the enemy.
 The enemy was halted by machine gun fire. The commanding officer sent a Aanking column around the Madison forces and caused them to re- tire
 The problem of the Madison boys was to work out their retreat from the marsh to a position in front of the university buildings. The narrowing of the attack was the problem of the enpnv

and Peru, cost the company $24O,OOO each, including necessary changes. The steamship Alaska, formerly known as the Kansas City, now in Op- eratiOn in the Alaska passenger and freight trade, cost the company a total of $45,OOO, including alterations. The Bennington and Burlington each have a capacity for cargo of $500 tons. The Alaska has accommoda- tions for 162 frst-class passengers and a cargo capacity of 5000 tons.
 "The outlook for business for this year." Eccles says in his report, "is excellent, freight offerings being so largely in excess of the carrying ca pacity of our vessels that if additional suitable vessels for our trade can be obtained at reasonable figures, your directors feel that they ought to be purchased"
 Discussion among the stockholders brought out that any further increase in the net earnings will not be due to the addition of new vessels to the company's fleet. The seamen's act reduced the number of passengers that may be carried on the company's liners. In the ease of the Nome liner Victoria, the number is reduced by I'll, which means loss of $6,OOO in earnings for each voyage of that steamship for the coming season. The earning power of the other pas senger liners has been reduced pro- portionately, in order to meet the re- quirements of the act
 Adds S5,OOO Tons to Fleet
 In addition to the three new vessels mentioned, the company recently pur- chased the steam freighter Eureka. The new tonnage represented by the purchase of the four vessels adds s. 900 tons to the fleet

connected with them. Mrs. living,
the first secretary of the Woman's
Auxiliary, once visited the District
of Niobrara. In crossing the Nilsson
ri river With Bishop Hare, they were
nearly drowned. A memento of that
escape, a Niobrara cross. Mrs. living
afterwards wore when she visited our
foreign missions to organize branches
of the Auxiliary. Her text was the
Niobrara cross and the interest the
Dakota indian women took in the
Auxiliary. Native Christian women
in China and Japan saw in that cross
the meaning OF Christian missions.
Another friend OF the South Dakota
missions wore her cross when she
visited the Buffalo exposition. Some
Indians in the Wild West show
caught sight of it and finally ap-
preached her. The result was that
she got a permit for seventy of the
Indians to attend Sunday services
while they were at the exposition.

What is now the Niobrara Deanery
of the district OF South Dakota was
once the missionary district of Mo
barra, which formed Bishop Hares
field when he came out in 1873, to
take the leadership in the church 5
mission to the Dakota Indians. IN
those days few of the Indian converts
could read, so certificates of baptism
and confirmation meant little to them
Bishop Hare desired 10 give TO those
who took upon themselves the obj
cations of Christianity some token
that would not only mark them as
communicates, but alsu serve as q
constant reminder TO them of their
Christian calling. He therefore de
signed a cross to serve this purpose.
