LEXINGTON HIGH 6;
INDEPENDENCE HIGH l
Eagan Stingy With Hits And
Receives FauItIess Support.


After several postponements,
because of rain, the baseball
game between independence
High and Lexington High was
pulled off at Athletic Park
Monday afternoon. The score
stood one to one until the sixth
inning, when the local boys got
to the independence pitcher and
proceeded to put him in the air.
Before he reached the ground
five runs had been chalked up
to the credit of the locals.
Neither side scored during the
remainder of the game.
Eagan held the visitors to four
hits, and his team mates play
ed errorIess ball behind him.
While this was goin on, the To-
Gals made eight hits and grab
bing them in lunches.
The independence boys are a
nice bunch Of fellows and are
true sportsmen. 1t is always a
pleasure for our boys to play
with that class of fellows.
The Distinguishing feature of
the game was the absence of
spectators. 1t is too bad that the
citizens of the town do not deem
it their duty to come out and
support their team, and it is
their team just as truly as the
Public Schools are their schools.
The High School boys are Civ
ing them a winning ball team,
one well worthy of support.
There are two more home
games on the schedule. Friday
May 18, the strong Warrens-
burg Normal Training High
School plays the local boys al
Athletic Park. This is the school
that gave our basket ball team
a decisive defeat in the District
Basket Ball Tournement held
at Warrensburg the first Of
March. We are going to do our
best to turn the tables on them
Friday, May %, Marshall
High comes here for a return
game. Earlier in the season
they defeated us at Marshall
the only defeat of the season
thus far. The Marshall pitcher
is considered one of the best in
the state. Eagan, who pitches
for Lexington High, is his equal
so you may expect pitchers
battle.

WENTWORTH 6; DENTALs s
A Hard Fought And Interesting
Game to The Very End.

Odnle 10 Inc very Enu.
Wentworth lost to the fast
Kansas City Dental College nine
on the Academy diamond Fri
day in a hotly contested game.
1t was anybody's game until the
last man was out in the ninth,
when Lowell hit into a double
play with Warren on first. The
score then stood 8 to 6, but
Wentworth had already scored
three runs, and it looked as if
they were going to win the game.
The game was rather loosely
played in spots, as each side was
only able to get three hits, most
of them coming at opportune
times, which accounts for the
large score made.
White and Cedar pitched for
Wentworth and Gillen and Gil
CANNON for the collegians.
White pitched great game up
to the eighth inning when he
weakened, the Dents getting six
scores. Wentworth came back in
the next inning and got three
runs on a shower of errors and
fielding blunders, but lacked the
punch to get away with the long
end of the score.
Cedar furnished a thrill for the
spectators when he hit a drive
over the head of the left fielder
for a home run, but the umpire
ruled that he failed to touch
second base and he was called
out. Amos base running was a
la "Ty" Cobb.

PianO-Forte Recital.

The second program by the
senior class, Conservatory of
Music, was presented Saturday
evening by Miss Ruth Grove.
Murrell Auditorium included a
large and appreciative audience
that listened attentively, from
the first to the last number, to
beautiful and highly varied
program from the best Piano
literature.
Miss Grove proved herself as
pianist Of splendid resources. In
| the Chopin and List numbers
her playing was broad, heroic
and mastery in style; in the
Arensky Etude and Mendelssohn
Scherzo she showed great fuen-
cy and finger dexterity; while
the Romance and Rainbow were
poetical to an extraordinary de-
gree. Indeed, the entire program
was given so artiscially that the
event not only sustained the
high standards of the Conserva-
tory, but it also brought per-
sonal triumph for the concert
giver.

LITTLE TALES ABOUT TOWN

Critics have commented volubly

the ages as popuia-' as they are now
and If so just what ones. Whatever
may be the fate of his works in years
to come certainly they are secure
now, especially n an unexpected
place-Russia-5 there, according to q
prominent Russian journalist visiting
in Honolulu, London is far and away
the favorite author.
v. Krymoff, editor of the Moscow
Russkoye Slovo. one of the greatest
Russian newspapers which was quoted
in the Star-Bulletin only yesterday in
an Associated Press despatch, makes
this statement. Krymoff is at the
Moana hotel with Mrs. Krymoff and
they are on their way to the States.
The next boat from the Orient will
probably take them.
Although a long way from Moscow,
Editor Krymoff is still actively con-
nected with the publication as cor
respondent of keen vision on foreign
affairs and he has already sent sew
eral articles on America - Hawaii
style-since his arTi"al here, including
one on Jack London.
The Russian writer is a great ad-
mirer of London and has in a quiet
way done some careful research work
on the life, habits and char acteristics
of the great author Honolulu may
think it knew London pretty we'll, but
Krymoff does not think so.
1T is remarkable to me that so great
an American writer is so little known

woman's, too. His translated works

that Uncle Sam has until the new
