Polytechnic hung another scalp on
tfi already full belt jesterday after-
loon by knocking Christian College
nto a cocked hat in Very much the
-ame manlier that it manipulated Sim-
non8' downfall the day before.
The new ball park for Abilene at the
and of the car line called "West End
''ark" was very appropriately bap-
sized christened named and otherwise
Irntertalned and feted and celebrated
yesterday. The grand stand was pacU-a-d
the bleachers were overrunning
-ond there wap a goodly contingent of
pooters lining the fences and the usual
tjieepers through. The day was a wee
fjit cold with a touch of raip which
1 however did not interfere with the
nthuslasm of the spectators
cj Polytechnic outplayed Christian Col-
lege There is no way of getting
jiround It. The Fort Worth ngrgega-
jlon showed it knew the points of the
jame better and defeated the local ag
gregation wnn practically tlio same
m
ase of manner In which it accomplish-
d such dismay In the ranks of Sim-
eons. Poly has a bunch of suckers
Ilnen who can field their positions run
Jnases and when the time comes can
a vork the squeeze piny to perfection
Plind with telling effect.
PO Yesterday's game Vns not a high
tlUass expose of baseball There was a
aouperabundance of ertors dump lays
nund wjord throws. The person who
to ailed it a close snappy game had an
pain day. It was neither cloao nor
innppy except at isolated intervals
j'oly loafed along through the nine Jh-
Ings enjoying n comfortable lead and
increasing It when tho danger signal
Wb hung out. If Christian College

great mass of spectators In the grand
stand there was one lonely group of
Christian College students and mem-
bers of the faculty who remained loyal
to the local team. Nearly all the rest
Abilene people students of the differ-
ent schools rpoted their heads off for
Poly hooted and jeered and hissed at
Christian College until they grew
black In the face. In the bleachers It
was the same. Christian College had
its few faithful while tho Abilene turn
coats did everything in their power to
hand out a string of luscious lemons
to C- C. I. and a baBket of peaches to
the other side. All honor be to such
nit! nit! lilt! An individual of either
sex who resides in Abilene but who
claims Polytechnic as his or her Alma
Mater is excusable under the circum-
stances. But the backslider who never
Went to any school who does not know
what' loyalty and Jllege spirit mean
who lauds the visiting team because
It happens to be better and reviles the
home boys because they are getting"
the worst of It well this class of
Bohunk Is a fit cltizeri for the Isle of
Elba.
Christian College lost to Polytechnic
mainly because the visitors could hit
the ball better and because they took
advantage of every C. C. I. mjscue.
Stanford twlrler for the C. C. J. had
an off day. In the quality of the work
displayed he more than heldhls own
with both twlrlerB put forth by the
Poly captain. At critical times he
pitched supeibly but when the time
for good bncklng came his teammates
were not there in one Inning when
Poly opened up with the lay-down-and
beat-lt-out policy and the squeeze
play C. C. I.'s Infield exploded with
a lqud hang. Except in the third in-
ning however when Poly pushed over
the or its eight runs Green played
hard and consistent ball. He made one
stqp of a bounder-which should endear
him forever to the hearts of C. C. I.-
dom. Green also hit well and ran
bases like a fiend But his two mis-
cues were costly mighty costly nnd
were instrumental (n allowing tho vis-
itors to get a good lead.
Whitley was first selected by tho
Poly captain to hand out the slants
but hla efforts were taken to so kindly
by Christian College that Heyser yank
ed him out and Bhoved.ln Chambers.
Tho chango proved for tho better for
C. C. I. could not hit the diminutive
light bander worth shucks.
Poly did Its scoring in tho second
third and eighth Innings. Score No.
1 came tjirough a series of mlscues on
the part of C. C. I. The five tallies In
tho third were brongjit about by hard
and consistent hltttlng bunting and a
balloon ascension by the Christian Col-
lego infield Poly scorned twice In the
eighth by
lege likes Whitley's slants mighty
well which may induce Captain Hey-
ser to put in Bowman the man who
made monkeys of Simmons' batters on
Thursday evening.
The game today should pull out a
big crowd. In the first place C. C. I.
is going to try hard to win and Poly
will want to make it a slean sweep.
Then the new ball park Is the best In
West Texas by far the finest ever put
up in Abilene. It alone is worth seeing.
ARMENIAN TOWN IN KESSA
DESTROYED BY MOSLEMS
By Associated Press.
BEIRUT April 24. The Armenian
village of Kessa was according to dis-
patches received today burned to the
ground and many persons killed by
the fanatical Moslems. At Belrlan the
situation is becoming more and more
criticalt No newB has been received
from Hadjim where five American
women missionaries were reported to
be in danger. The American govern
ment through its representatives in
Turkey Greece and other countries Is
making close inquiries into the situa-
tion and it Js believed that If any harm
shall be offered tc the American in
Hadjim borders the United States will
take it upon itself to send troops to
the scene to punish the offenders.
Native hordes are moving at this
time to Stiediah southwest of Antioch
where a large force of armed desper-
ate Armenians have congregated and
who will light to the finish before they
will surrender (themselves Into the
hands of the Moslems.

The Investment leader wants Included
In the surrender all the military stores
and supplies in the garrison while
the defenders maintain that these
should go vlth the arms of the be
sieged. Two white flags fly from the
garrison.
Abdul Hamld deposed Sultan has
not been harmed nor any members of
his household-l The Sultan is keeping
himself locked in his room in .the Pal-
ace and will communicate -with' no one.
It appears that the constitutional-
ists did not intend to shell Yildlz Ki-
osk but that some of the shells aimed
at the barracks fell in the wnllB of
Yildlz. At ten o'clock the fire had
dwindled to rifles. There were at that
time only six batteries or artillery In
action. Seven or eight battalions of
Infantry were disposed In semi-circles
around the palace and attached quar
ters.
Sultan Won't Surrender.
So far the Sultan has not officially
turned over the reins of government to
the leader of the constitutionalists.
The once royal monarch of Turkey
refuses to leave the palace to enter
Into negotiations with the victors say
ing he will die rather than give up his
nation Into the hands of cut throats
and murderers. The failure of the
Sultan to surrender the cjty by four
o'clock this afternoon will it is rumor
ed result in the storming of Yildlz
Kiosk nnd thq possible blowing up of
the Immense stores of powder and war
supplies now being kept in that garrison.
The city has been placed under mar-
tial law. The leader of the constitu
tionalists has detailed a troop of sol
diers to act as police with orders to
Bhoot any and all persons caught in
the act of looting pillaging or rob-
bing. Strictest discipline relgiiB
which speaks well for the new ruling
power In Constantinople
It Is tnouKht with tho surrender of
the capital the power of thp canst!
tutionnllsta has been cemented
throughout all Turkey and that tho
various provinces find possessions are
Willing nnd anxious to officially reeo-
nlze their now masters.
Schefkot Pnshn compandor of the
constitutionalists Is IndeavorJng to get
Into communication with the Sultan
with the view of entering Into negotia-
tions regarding the Biirrundor of the
hitter's powor In Turkey So fur tho
Sultan hns evinced no anxiety to meet
his conqueror nnd It Is thought only
tho exorcising of more force can bring
him from his confinement to acknowl-
edge his downfall and to mahe the
best terms possible under the circumstances.
