PUNCTURED PROPHESIES.

The prophetic office is be- coming a thankless and perilous one in Germany. The imperial government insists upon optim- istic interpretations of all augurs and omens, but is notably in- efficient in providing verifica- tion for prediction.
 It was prophesied taht the U- boat war would bring Great Britain to her knees by July 1.
 It was prophesied that the U- treat from the somme would pave the way for a brilliant and decisive coup by Von Hinden- burg.
 It has been several times prOphesied that the allied of fensive was at an end on the west front.
 It was prophesied that the United States would not partic- ipate in the war beyond the mere lending of money and sale of supplies to the allies.
 It was prophesied that Rus sia would make separate peace.
 It was prophesied that if Rus sia did not make separate peace she would disintegrate po- litically and economically and would never strike another blow on the eastern front.
 These are a half dozen pro- phetic ventures of inspired voices in Berlin made since the beginning of the year and every one of them has failed. How long will it take the German people to discover that they are being fed on lies?

The WOmen-GOd Bless 'En

In considering the nuisance who at the moment is mayor of Chicago, we must not forget this big whopping fact: That when he was nominated on the Republican ticket there was a majority of seven thousand good women, and true. regis tered against Thompson and for Judge Olson. and only fool ten thousand majority of the men in the mems ballot boxes for the two boxes were kept and counted separately-let Thomp- son in.
 A woman's judgment of men is likely to be pretty correct The women-God bless 'em- will straighten us out if only we will let 'em. They have mar ried us many times and oft to save us; and if we will follow 'em in politics as we do with the Saturday night envelope, well come through all right.

Pieper, the fast fielding second

game at shortstop, making two double
plays unassisted. The fielding of
Roberts and Lavoy of the 9th, and

That old saying that the last shall
be first may work out this year. The
young man with the Beavers. who fin
ished last in the Portland City Direct
DRY last year. may be first in the di-
rectory of Portland pitchers before
many years. IL he can continue to
show what he displayed during his
brief soiourn on the mound yesterday
afternoon at Athletic park, when he
held the Baby Regiment team to one
lonely bingle and no runs in five in
nings.
Portland looked like a regular base
ball team yesterday afternoon, and
both hweifel, who started the game,
and Lyle Bigbee, who finished. had
the infants swinging at their slants.
Holcomb was the only player to solve
the delivery for a hit, which went for
two bases. Portland finished with six
runs, while the Schofield contingent
did not cross the rubber during the
afternoon .-... 49,.

Zweifel, who started the game, was
as cool as chilled sundae in Green
land. He was never in danger, and in
addition to pitching some mighty good
ball looked good in fielding his posi-
ton. The youngster who pitched in
the Portland City League last year
used speed, a cross-fire, underhand
delivery and a change of pace that
made him look pretty good out on the
hilltop. s... i

Bigbee looks right at this time, and
If he stars against the Chinese or 25thl
Infantry theresmay be some swinging
on the part of the local swatters. Dur.
ing his stay on the mound he famed
six batters. and not one ball went to
the outfield.
Mashaw did not pitch bad game,
and had he been given better support
might have held the visitors down to
a close score. Several hits which
were counted against him would have
been outs with sons other player 60
ing after the ball. Stratton at first
went after everything, but was muss-
ed up on two errors, and Boyle missed
a couple that went along to center
field. ..
Williams was the batting hero of
the day. rs he annexed a single and
a double. Fisher also grabbed off two
bingles, and Wolfer hit 1000 for the
afternoon. With the exception of two
boots the Portland players showed a
great game, and are going to be a
hard club to beat from now on.

afternoon at the Polo Club courts
when Mrs Coulter and Miss Ward of
Honolulu meet Mrs. F.. A. BeIin and
Miss Janet Storrs Of Scranton, Pa.
This match should prove to be an in

the local players will be pitted against
two stars who have played together
a number Of times, and should be
strong eontenders. Mrs. Coulter won
the championship in the singles, and
many believe that she will win with
Miss Ward in the doubles, but the
Eastern pair look formidable and it
would not be at all surprising il the
play went to five sets. III i. ..-'
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Belin and
Miss Storrs defeated Miss Kathryn
