HIGH SCHOOL O;
WENTWORTH 2
A Splendid Game Featured By
Pitching of Eagan and
Collins.

After hearing a score or more
reports on the game Wednesday
between Wentworth and Lexing-
ton High School, truth compels
us to admit that only two things
are certain, death and taxes"
Deductions, however will have to
be made in the report. All are
agreed that the game was play
ed and that the final score was
2 to 0 in favor of Wentworth;
that the umpires were Abel and
Wikoff; that Wentworth made
three errors and the Highs none !;
that Eagan struck out ten, Col
Inns seven, and White one;
that Eagan worked nine innings,
White two, and Collins seven,
that the game was the most in
teresting contest seen in Lex
ington this season.
All of the other points of the
game are up for discussion, es-
pecially the number of hits made
by each team. However, the
Board of Strategy of each team
agree on a total Of six hits,
three by the Highs and three
by Wentworth, and that one of
them was worth the other four
the home run made by Lovel for
the cadets. Two of the Highs
hits were made off of White, and
one off of Collins. (The debate
will now proceed.
In Eagan the High School has
the best youngster seen in these
parts for many years. His work
has been high class in every
game, and has been ably sup
ported by his team mates.

Another Victory For L. H. S.

Friday a baseball tie a m
representing the Training High
School of Warrensburg came to
Lexington to cross bats with
the Lexington High School boys.
The Training High had won sew
en- games and lost but one, so
they thought to make it eight
won and one lost. But they had
another think coming. When the
dust of conflict had settled the
Warrensburg boys found they
were on the small end Of a 7 to
/ score. Eagan pitched for the
local boys. He famed ten of the
visitors and allowed but two hits.
F. Hanna pitching for Warrens-
burg, famed seven and allowed
seven hits.
This is one of the strongest
teams the High School has play
ed this year. West, who plays
with the Normal regulars, play
ed short for the Training High.
This victory makes the ninth
for L. H. S., and but one defeat
chalked up against them.

Song Recital at Central.

Two song recitals in one week
is an unusual offering even for
Central College. Miss Agnes
Swinney, Mezzo Soprano, pre-
sented the second of two excel
lent programs in Murrell Audi
torium Saturday evening, May
10Th. Miss Swinney's charming
stage presence and personal pop
ularity insured her an enthusi-
astic reception, while her really
worth while program justified
the same. Her voice is in keep
ing with her appearance mez-
20 soprano of rather light tim
bre, but capable of effective
work in several lines of vocal
technique. She sang an Oratorio
selection in good style, plenty of
dignity and breadth of tone; the
we'll known Zone Fine Day"
from Madam Butterfly, she
gave in Italian with evident un-
derstanding as to its content,
holding its difficult rythm well,
and bringing out its dramatic
points effectively.
Her group of French songs was

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out lni-
tiaI Misunderstanding Con-
tinues All Day Friday and
Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order
as Drawn, From Which Those Who
VIII Be Called to Serve in
First Army VIII Be
Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing
Cor the big United States army was
not completed until early Saturday
morning. The drawing began at 9:45
Friday morning, and continued
throughout the day and night. Alto
gether 10000 numbers were drawn
from the big fish bowl. 1t was officially
stated that the first 1000 numbers
drawn represented more than 1,OOO,-
oW men, and it Is not considered
probable that men representing any
number drawn after the first 1000
will be called before any exemption
board for the first army. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain Of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees !;
Maj. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general Of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only a small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above a
few thousand affect registrants. Of
the 1857 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something v 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1876, and
the average is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1857 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 18th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers In the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order In which the see
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given In each line. Beginning
with the first number, which was
drawn by Secretary Baker.

actress who comes with a number of
others to entertain the prison folk.
