After go- ing through the season without losing a game it remained for the postponed game with the High school to prove their undoing. The Students treated Havens' offerings roughly, touching him for nine hits. and when McGirr took over the hurling duties in the last half of the seventh. they treated him worse. getting four safe hits. a triple and three singles. in half an inning. Smith in left field for the High school boosted his fielding average taking five chances out of five. getting two especially. seem- ingly right out of the grass.

DEFEATED 12â€"5 ABRHPDLE ABRHPOAE ABRHPOAE kiteâ€"Becker a1 scandal. Rivera seized the reins of power and the report was suppressed. He acted in the interests of the army caste and the king and naturally ever since he has had the support of the king and the army. His government has been a government of officers. There are only two civilians in it. The army of Spain is a curious one. It is The King’s Politics The trial of Gen. Damasio Berenguer who was really pardoned in advance of sentence and promoted by royal de- cree. revealed what Mr. Beals calls un- believable corruption; trafficking in arms and supplies. the pocketing of payrolls and other moneys; soldiers starving and in rags; officers serving as usurers for the soldiers; officers selling army supplies in personally owned stores; disorder; disobedience. Before the sovereign Cortes could con- vene and make a report on this nation- To the outside world it may seem that Spain is making an extraordin- ary and altogether disproportionate frenzy over the exploits of the Span- ish airmen who so nearly lost their .lives in an effort to fly across the At- !lantic ocean. But understanding and sympathy arrive when we reflect upon what little reason Spain has had for a long time to cheer for anything. Spain is one of the most backward countries in the world. The illiteracy is about 50 per cent. There is no longer freedom of speech or of assem- bly. The country is under a dictator- ship. But as a matter of fact it has for a long time been under one kind of dictatorship or another. It is now in the hand: of the military and cler- ical castes. Spain is poor. She groans under taxes most of which go in graft. in the opinion of Carleton Beals. who is writing a series of articles under the general title. "The Wreck. of an Empire“. for The Nation. The chief tro ‘-;‘:- with Spain is that her pe0ple are i.no:ant. and they are ignorant because those whose business it should be to instruct them. have found it more. convenient for their own purposes to lea‘. .9 them in darkness. De Rivers. 2‘. Puppc’; In Mr. Beals‘ opinion Primo de Rivera. despite his boastings. is little more than 9 puppet of th( monarch» ical. tradition. He represents a fina‘. vain effort to shut- out the modern world from Spain It would seem im- possible that in the long run he can succeed or that church and state linkâ€" ed as they are in Spain. can continue to carry on as though this was the middle ages. But. there is probably great suffering in stere for Spain be- fore she forgets the past and takes her proper place in the world. the place which the intelligence and' virtues of her people demand for her. De Rivera is a direct product of the costly Mor- occo stupidity. and particularly of the Silvestre disaster. in which an equip- ped army of 20.000 Spaniards was hacked to pieces by a few thousand Morocco tribesmen. This led to the demand for a parliamentary inquiry which traced responsibility directly to the royal palace. It was learned that Alfonso had disregarded the war de- partment and sent orders direct to the front. evidently supposing himself a kind of successor to the former Benedicts and High School are playing off for second place. The winner of this game is to play the Bachelors on Tuesday night of next week for the championship. This schedule of course depends on the weather. If there is rain, Friday's game is to be played on Tuesday. with the date of the final con- test advanced to some future date which has not yet been decided. FINDS IN SPAIN One of the productive mus- calunge streams in North America is French River, in Ontario, Can- ada, which connects Lake Nipis- sing on the East with Georgian Bay on the West. This tangle of waterways is not only the haunt of the fighting muscalunge but it Fishermen difier as to the fight- ing merits of the various species of the finny tribe to be found in North American waters. Some claim that, inch for inch and pound for pound. the small mouth black bass is the gamest fish that swims; others are equally enthusiastic in praise of the speckled brook trout; while still another fraternity claim that the salmon puts up as noble a battle for liberty as an ame fish extant. All are agr , owever, ‘ that the muscalunge, sometimes called the “fresh water ti er" is one of the greatest fighters nown to anglers, and that he will put up a battle royal when attached to the business end of a rod. 35 ”and mm captured by G.

The French River Bungalow Camp, a series of cozy individual bungalows centering ‘around a main club house, provides comfortable accommodations for the angler and his family.

Fear of Syndicallsm There is something ironical in the fact that Rivera was helped to his dic- tatorship by some of the most pro- gressive and- liberal forces in Spain. the people of Catalan. They are the chief manufacturers and merchants in the kingdom and they have propor- tionately suffered from the graft and incompetence at Madrid. As com- mandant of Barcelona. Rivera had a record with these people which was to prove helpful to him. He had shown himself the uncompromising enemy of the syndicalists more than any tem- porary curtailment of their liberty. It seemed to them that they were being offered a choice between a kind of communism if the syndicalists went unchecked and an absolute dictator- ship. Really there was no such choice, for the danger they fled from was re- mote. if indeed it existed. In any event they turned to Rivera as their protect- or. though by this time most of them have regretted their panic decision. Council met July 22. Members all present. Minutes admitted. good deal of shrewdness from his own point of view, however. unfortunately from the standpoint of the necessities of the nation. He has consistently and persisently promoted young officers who were his friends over older offi- cers, and this in defiance of army reg- ulations. By this means he has per- sonally attached to himself nearly all the officers of any importance. They are not only officers. they are courtiers. Graft in the Army According to Mr. Beals. officers hold the most important posts inside and outside the government. They figure in the cascade of new concessions. They rule the provinces. though for the past three decades and more they ,have proved at tragic cost to Spain that their only patriotism consists in preserving their parasitical privileges. No country this side of Mexico is so over-officered. shields so many strut- ting generals. There is an officer for every thousand persons in Spain. Spain has two classes of conscripts. There is a two-year enlistment and. a nine- month enlistment. The recruits in the former class consist for the most part of able-bodied young men whose par- ents are unable to buy a shorter period. The two-year recruits live in barracks and presumably get some military edu- cation. The nine-month recruits are from the homes of the wealthier fam- ilies, who pay the officers to have them excused from the fatigues and incon- veniences of military service. They live at home but are supposed to re- port every morning for roll call. to remain in uniform all the time and to stay in their houses after 11 o’clock at night.
