and .: seemefl a pity to see .so many
vaeant places in Rooters' Bow.
Two games were played, and it was a
hot chase In the lirst for fourtecn innings,
chock fuil of fine p'ays and plenty of
kicldng against the ump:r?"s- decistons ly
both Leams, Foster and Ciarke excelling
for their respective sides.
Tho rootcrs and the enthusiasts had
plenty of opportunity to exercise their
lungs. and they took advantage of the
opportunity.
The umpire got himself in hot water
earlv in the game, and he stayed in it
until hc was forced to throw up the
Bponge in the first inning ot the second
game. He could stand the jibs nnd jeers
of the crowd and the abuse and _con
tcntions of the players no longer. For
fiftcen long innings he hattled against
beavy odds. and finally, in sheer despera
tion.'he took off his cap, put on his hat
and'went out the jratc. His name was

TO SEARCH
FOR ANDREE
Anotlier Expedition Soon lo be Seni
Out by the King o_ Swcd'en.
Has Andree reached the pole in his bal
loon, or has ho perished in the frozen
Polar wilderness? On July 11 three years
will have passed since the daring explorer
set out with two equally fearless eom
panions in a balloon that was proyisioned
for four months. Since that day practi?
cally nothing has been heard of him.
It is true that on July 15 a pigeon that
had been killed was found to be the
bearer of a message from the exploriug
party, but this letter had' been writteh
several days before and gave but little
information. As Uie resuit of this long
silence scientists in general have come to
the concluslon that the three men have
perished in the Arctic wilds, and that.
their bones are buried beneath the eternai
snows.
While this is the opinion that is gen
eraliy accepted, however, there are a few
persons who are still able to feel that
there is a possibillty that the members of
this party may be allve. Among these is
Herr Ernst Andree, the brother ot tne
explorer, and he has recently prepared
an elaborate article se'tting forth for the
world the reasons why he is so eonhdent
that his brother will return before tne
end of the present summer. He admits,
however, that if the summer months pass
without tidings from him, even he will
be copelled to give up all hose
The publication of this article has done
much to revive interest in the fate of
this famous explorer, and the King ot
Sweden, who is extremely interested in
all efforts to penetrate the polar myster
ies, has announced his intention ot s'end
ing out another expedition to search for
ihe mlssihg men.
In addition to this he has had a larjfe
sum of money set aside for reward to
those who may bring tidings of the e_>
plcring party or any objects that may
tend to east" any light upon the mystery
of t>>e fate of its members. As the resuit
it is believed that it is quite possible
that some information may be obtained
within a year; and it is to be hoped that
=nich a predic.tion may be realized, for
it is utlquestionably the last char.ee that
will be presented. If another winter passes
in silence the explorers. must be given
up as lost.
FOR FIFTY YEARS.
For more than half a century explorers
have been striving their utmost to reacn
tho Pole across sea, snow and ice. Each
explorer has had a diiTerent plan. and
each has failed. but not one devlsed a
more daring project than that of S. A.
Andree, the Swedish engineer and ama
teur aeronaut, who announced that he
was prepared to solve the century-old
problem with the rapidity of the wind.
He would sail to the Pole in a balloon.
For a time the scientliic world laughed
at the would-be explorer. but he was so
persistent in his essertions that this was
the only way ln which the wilderness
of ice could be overcome that t'ne scienti?
fic world finally decided to listen to him.
As soon as he had obtained their sober at
tontion he unfolded his plan ln detail.
For years he had been making a most
thorousrh stiidv of all known obseryations
cf Arctic air currents. These observations
had been supplemented by two years of
expeiimehting with a trial balloon which
was constructed as no air ship had ever
before been builL All this was explained
with infinite care by the young engineer,
and he was so eloquent that he finally
actually succeeded in persuading the
scientific world that he had solved the
prnblem of Polar investlgation. On July
11th. 3S97, therefore, the start was made
from Dane's Island, an island in the Arc?
tic circle north of the Scandinavlan coast.
and since that time t'ne friends of the
explorer have been waiting anxiously to
hear from mm.
That they have not lost courage during
the manv months that have passed is
one of the remarkable features of tne
mystery, but the fact that they still be?
iieve in Andree's ability to find his way
back to civilization is too well attested to
be questioned. Accordlng to their opinion
the balloon reached the Pole in safety, but
on the return trip, encountered a zigzag
current that forced the party to land If
this had occurred, they say, it wouid
not be at all strange if it required two or
three years for the party to Teach_ a
point where they could communicate with
civilization
fBROTHER'S THEORY.
It is this theory that is heartily sup
ported by Ernst Andree. and he considers
it a most reasonable one. He aiso insists
that it |was impossible that anything
should have happened to the balloon. This
balloon, which, he says, j was as safe
as a railway train, was constructed with
a reservoir, having a double covering.
which made it perfectly impervious to
hvdrogen, or at least sufficiently so to
keep the balloon afloat for thirty days.

?id?s the three persons the balloon car?
ried provisions for four months as well as
a large stock of scientific instruments and
three Benton collapsible boats. The car
was capable of instant detachment trom
the reservoir, and was provided with a
sail as well as drag and guide ropes,
which were intended to retarcl the progress
of the balloon by trailing =>'ong the sur
face In this way the balloon made a
rate of speed about 25 per cent. less than
that of the wind, and was, therefore,
more capable of being steerd than it
wouid otherwise have been. ''.^
During the manv trial trlps that had
preceded the final experiment Andree
tested his apparatus thoroughly; and, on
several occasions. he found that he was
able to sail at an angle of 27 to 40 de

PENSYWINS AGAIN
Outsli'ipped All Opponenis in the
Athletic Contest. ?T^i
XEW YORK, May 2C.?Once more Tenn
sylvania University athletes proved their
skill and stamlna against all their col
legiate opponents in track and field events
by winning the championships of the Inter
collegiate Athletic Association on Columbia
field to-day.
Tho Pennsylvanians cannot do too much
honor to A.H. Kraenzlein, their wonder?
ful athiete. In the history of the asso
ciation's games no athiete has done what
Kraenzlein did to-day. Last year he won
in four events the hundred yards dash.
the high and low hurdles, and the running
broad jump. This afternoon he won three
of these events?namely, the one-hundred
dash and t'ne high and low hurdles. Hav?
ing had to use all his reserve strength in
these events^ Kraenzlein did not take parf
in the final contest for the running broad
jump, and his jump in the preliminary
proved good enough to give him second.
The final score by points was: Fennsyl

In Camille, of course, he will repeat his
portrayal of old Duval, and in Hamiet
act Polonius. It seems to be generaliy
a^sumed that Bernhardt will act Elmire in
Tartuffe. But Dorine, the maid servant, i3
