RUSSIA BUCKING
Refuses To Participate In Eastern

LONDON, June 16.-(By Associated ss.)-Russia has refused to par ticipate In the examination of the Eastern Karelian question by the permanent court of international jus tice at The Hague. The court had notified Russia of It's intention to ex- anime Finland's appeal for an inter- pellation of the Russo Finland treaty regarding Karelian autonomy, but Foreign Minister Tehitchern replied it would be impossible for Russia to taken part.
 M Tchitcherin said. according to information given the Daily Herald by the Russian agent in London, that quite apart from the fact that the Karelian question was an interna- tional problem of Russia the gov ernment could not consider either the League of Nations or the court as viewing the situation impartially.

BASEBALL

The local baseball tribe received their
second setback of the season in last Sat-
urdays contest with their friendly "ene-
mics" from Bayport, Mimi, the visitors
registering a complete shutout, the score
standing 10 to 0, in seven inning game.
The game developed right off the jump
in a pitchers duel between Cayou, for
the visitors and Ny, home made pro-
duction, for the locals. During the first
four innings, the locals put up class of
ball that is seldom excelled here, all due
to Ny's cleverness in handling the ball.

grey drizzle of rain in the air. Lady
we will call her Lady Fitzgerald, it con-
veys the type-leaned back against the
padded velvet of her limousine and drew
her furs closer about her. The car turned
down mean street. AT one of the open
doors young girl stood shaking mat.
She was thin wisp of creature with
a peeked white face and rough hands,
and she wore coarse apron.
Lady Fitzgerald turned to her COM
psnion.
my dear-did you see that poor little
slavey? How those poor creatures live l
can't imagine! What on earth has that
POOR thing to work for, for instance?"
Her companion shrugged. Heaven
only knows!" she murmured-
"Here, Lizzie, quick! See them ladies
in that there car? Look at 'em, all dolled
up, frightened ter death lest they gets
their feet wet!"
Lizzie, the thin wisp of girl with
coarse apron tied round her, glanced at
the gliding car her younger sister pointed
out. "Pore things" she said, contemptu-
ously, "what ave they got to live for?
Nothink but dressing up and getting bored
stiff with nothink ter do all day Awful
I calls it" She gathered up her mats
and went indoors, humming a song softly
under her breath.
Lady Fitzgerald stretched one white,
arm across the dinner table. She looked
radiantly beautiful. The soft rose lights
played upon her hair and caressed with
light and shadow her bare shoulders
Life" she said in low tone, "lfe is
but an empty shadow show. Sometimes,
Algy, sometimes l think it's not worth
working out to the close. We're marionet-
ties, you and I, and all our class. We spend
our lives in pursuing will-o-the-wisp OF
pleasure, day and night it lures us on
into the wilderness of emptiness" She
laughed bitterly. "What are we here for?
What is the good of us-you and mel"
That same night Lizzie sat on park
bench with the milkboy. A lamp spilled
yellow light upon them, and police
man on patrol kept fatherly eye on
them. 1t was still drizzling with rain,
and the air was cold.
"And I'll soon be getting more money,
Lizzie" the boy was saying, his hand
closing upon hers, which lay wet and cold
on the damp bench, "and I've got my eye
on nice little bed-sitting room down our
way, just do for the two of us till we
can get bit of home together. Now
the point is, how soon'll we get hitched
up?'
Lizzie glanced down at the cheap ring
on the third finger of her left hand.
"Soon as yer like, Bill" she whispered
softly.
And as they walked back to Mean
Street together, the very rain sang an
anthem of joy, and beauty was abroad
the wet streets that night, and rode upon
the cold air.
And God among his heavens in the
hidden stars, smiled very softly and ten
derly, and Looking upon the Earth saw
that is was Good-Selected.

LAST SATURDAYS LINEUP

LASI SATURDAYS LINEUP
To our pitcher we must hand the cake
Cause he's the best that practice can
make.
Not many batters will have the nerve
To stand in front of his wicked curve.
Our catcher is a slim, light haired lad;
Behind the bat, he isn't so bad.
He can catch the fastest ball;
He drops not one but holds them ALL
Our first baseman is jolly guy,
For him the ball is never too high.
He covers the bag in formidable style
And he's "Johnny on the spot" all the
while.
Our second baseman is a merry ole soul
For a bat he needs ten foot pole.
He strikes wicked blow with his bat
It's wonder he doesn't knock the ball
fiat.
Our third baseman is right on the spot,
For him the ball is never too hot.
Visiting teams will always look sad
Cause men like him are not to be had.
Our shortstop is a nice young fellow,
Errors in playing doesn't make him bel
low.
lie plays with will, spirit, and zest
Of our lineup he's one of the best
Our left fielder is slim, lean guy
Who gauges the ball with an eagle eye
The ball never hits his nit
Before it's to second in little bit
Our centerfelder is long, slim man
And at bat, he wants them over the pan.
He is a right good fielder too
Cause he can grab them out of the
We have good man for right fielder,
AT the plate he's hefty bat wielder.
He'll never hit the ball once week
Cause he swings so hard the bat
squeaks.
The coach is the one who takes the prize
For he gives the runners the "lead off"
exercise.
He is usually the poorest player on the
nine
But for supper he always leads the line.

When the time came, in the fifth round,
for Ny to get little support from his
mates, he had absolutely none. This may
have been due to the fact that Ny's sell
fshness in not allowing his mates to play
with the ball in the opening chapters,
ultimately caused his defeat. Be that as
it may he pitched wonderful game for
the first time he ever worked upon the
mound He has all the instincts of max
ing semi-pro pitcher. He has an abun-
dance of speed, not excitable with men on
the runways, takes the misplays along
with the brilliant ones with a smile on his
face and tries all the harder to retire the
succeeding batter. If he had been given
as good support as the visiting pitcher
had, the game would have had far diff
ferent ending.
Hen our veteran first baseman started
the bungling up of the locals defensive
in the opening of the fifth round that
paved the way for the visitors to the
scoring column. Finnegan the first man
up hit fast infeld grounder that Ny
ielded in big league style and when the
ball was thrown to Hen he made one of
the rankest errors that we ever have
known him to make by dropping the ball
and allowing Finnegan to be safe. A
moment later Christianson by feigning he
had been hit with pitched ball, con-
vinced the umpire and was awarded free
transportation to first. Take it from ye
scribe, if Christianson had been hit as
claimed he would have gone to the hos
pital. With two men ON and Cayou up,
Ny in holding Finnegan on second threw
the ball to that corner and if the ball had
been caught, Finnegan would have been
an easy out. The ball got by, rolled to
center field, allowing both runners to ad-
vance one peg each and on Cayou's in
field grounder to short, tumble that fol-
lowed and wild throw to first, allowed
at first. Thompson reached first on
feder's choice, Cayou being forced out at
second, Shu to Bona. Sandberg tried to
dump one but instead he popped a feeble
fly to Ny that developed into double
play, retiring the side with no hits, two
runs and three errors.
The sixth frame was the visitors big
inning in scoring. After two men were
gone, they accumulated six nice juicy
runs that developed from as many errors
and couple of hits. To add insult to
injury, the visitors hooked another brace
of runs in the seventh, coming by the way
of couple of singles, couple of stolen
bases and an infeld error. The first ru-l
in this frame was an earned run and the
orly one the visitors made.
Cayou the visiting twirler pitched bril-
liant ball all the way. By getting air
tight support in pinches, he was able to
hold the locals to four scattered hits. He
struckout seven men, passed one on balls
and hit one batter. 1t is generally re-
ported hereabouts that Cayou has signed
up to pitch ball for Winona this coming
season in the Southern Minnesota league.
We, the fans of this institution wish you
the best of success in your new fields of
endeavor, Mr.. Cayou.
