and queen that appeals especially to the people. At the left is the crown princess of Sweden with her baby,
Prince Bortil, and at the right is the crown prince playing with his little daughter, Princess Ingrid.
Then Reeder won the game on his

Robinson pitched fine ball for

than Reeder.
Waite and Thompson fielded their

The 22nd Infantry climbed up to
third place in the Second Division
League yesterday by defeating the
6th Cavalry team by the score of
1′0 to 3.
The game was a see-saw for the
first five innings; first one team
would lead, then the other. In the
seventh the 22nd fell on Turner’s
delivery for three runs. Three
more runs were scored in the fol-
lowing rc und on a couple of hits
and some weird fielding stunts on
the Cavalry’s part.
The batting of Fisher was main-
ly responsible for the 22nd’s vic-
tory, as he got three safe . hits

i request from agents of the French
government for the assistance of
the department’s ordinance bureau
in perfecting the smokeless powder
now used by the French army and
navy. A series of unexplained dis-
astrous explosions in French mag-
azines, aboard ship and ashore,
caused the request, which is unus-
ual in vew of the consistent efforts
made by most nations to protect
the secret of their powder prepara-
tions.
The war department buys all its
powder under contract from an
American company and this corpo-
ration has protested vigorously
' pected to continue his work as a
! lecturer.
To “Hank” Reeder belongs the
credit of the victory, as he not
only pitched practically unhittable
tall tut also drove in the first run
of the game on his long three-base
hit to center field.
The game was fast and exciting
throughout. Both teams had op-
portunities to score early in the
game,but the necessary bingle was
not forthcoming.
