The captain was prompted to the ac-
ton after reading that Boston and
Philadelphia authorities had expressed
themselves against permitting several
games Of baseball on Sunday by the
National and American league clubs.
The proceeds were to be used for the
regimental funds OF the engineers and
for the relief Of their families. The
plan originated with Huston. He said:
"The opposition in Boston and
Philadelphia against playing cham
pionship baseball games on Sunday for
the benefit OF the engineer troops soon

The money derived from the proposed
games would be devoted to the COM
forts of the soldiers at the front, to
the alienation Of the sick and wounded
in the hospitals, to aiding those per-
manently crippled and to the relief of
the dependents left at home. The dis
bursements would be made at the d.
rection OF the war department.

spiritual consideration, the day brings

Wolves Invade Sheep Herd.

Grinnell, May 96--iWord was received
in Grinnell last evening that timber
wolves, too hungry to be timid. have
caused serious losses to the flock OF
sheep belonging to w. A. Evans. six
miles southeast OF this city. The Evans
farm is heavily timbered and affords
ideal protection for the wolves which
have almost nightly carried away one
or more sheep or lambs from his flock,
and he has decided to sell the entire
flock in order to save them.
Mr.. Evans declares the experience
too much like pioneer days to suit him
and he does not expect to suffer any
further losses, as he has placed a
guard over his flock.
