TWO GOOD GAMES
OF LAST EVENING
st. Vincent Beats Lincoln In Thrill
Ing Game and Midgets Win
From Yankees In Pitch
crs' Battle.

In a game full of seventh-inning
thrills, the st. Vincent team won
from the Lincoln school boys by
score of 81 to IL in a game played
at the Terrence grounds yesterday
afternoon. Up until the sixth in
ming, the st. Vincent team had things
their own way, but the sixth and
seventh innings almost proved fatal.
The game was well played, but few
errors being made on either side, and
few hits.
The Midgets won from the Yankees
in a pitchers battle by score OF
13 to s. Very few hits were allowed
by either of the pitchers, and strike
outs were very numerous. However,
Smith, pitching for the Yankees,
blew I'D in the seventh and walked
six men and hit one, making 1t pos
sible for the Midgets to get leaa
that could not be overcome.
The score OF the games is given
below:
ST. Vincent 40 313 I 0 4--21

NEW YORK, May st is con-
uueror's peace. Germany now knows
what was meant when America en-
tered the war demanding no peace
before Germanys unconditional sur
render.
In the history of civilization no
great nation has ever before been
so terribly punished and yet left
alive to bear the punishment for
generations to come. The peace re-
duces Germany to the level Of Spain.
If the Germans ever again attain
the rank of a first class power, 1t
will be by dint Of long years of heart
breaking effort.
Germany will seek revenge as long
as the memory of this peace endures.
The present power Of German mill
tarism is broken, but the sullen, vim
dictive temper OF the people remains

MORRIS AND SCOTT ARE
INDICTED BY GRAND JURY

the Jury bailiff entered hurriedly
from the rear. Morris turned quickly
toward the door, while Scott sat with
his eyes fixed on the Judge, taking
in every wod that he spoke.
During pause in the proceedings,
a speaking tube whistle from the
clerks office sounded and both the
prisoners started perceptibly.
AS the judge ordered the prison
ers to rise to receive instructions as
to their rights they seemed not to
understand and Sheriff Scott had to
tell them to stand up.

Murderer is Unooncerned.

Murderer Is Unconcernod-
During the instructions Scott con-
tinued to give the closest attention
to Judge Hamilton's words, while
Morris who fired the fatal shot at
Inman, looked at the Jurors and about
the room with an attitude of uncon-
Germ.
AS the Judge finished his instruc-
tons and gave them the first oppor-
tunity to challenge the jurors teither
of them answered.
A second time he asked them II
they had any challenges to OFFER to
the Jury. At this, Morris shook his
head, giving a negative answer, and
Scott mumbled his answer IN a tone
that could scarcely be heard dozen
feet away.
Three times they were given the
customary opportunity to challenge
any Juror and three times they re-
piled in the same way.
After they were seated one OF
them spoke for the first time, as
Scott leaned over and whispered
something to Morris, which the lat
ter appeared not to hear, and con-
tinued to look about the court rosm
as though he were trying to fix 1t in
his mind.
The Grand Jury.
The final instructions having. been
given to the jury it retired to the
jury room followed by the two pris-
oners.
Less than ten minutes had elapsed
while the prisoners were brought
from the room and returned to the
jail.

dence and returned an In
dictment against the negroes for
murder in the first degree are: J. +.
