BASEBALL TALENT FOUND IN
LOCAL SCHOOL
New baseball talent today was dis
covered in Cordova, when the pupils
of the schools, with the freedom which
usually characterizes the last day of
school, invited the teachers to join
them in the great national game.
Miss Ware distinguished herself by
making a home run the first time at
bat. while Miss Burroughs showed
great class as a pitcher, repeatedly
fanning the hard hitters of the
school. It is admitted that it was
not always possible for the batters to
reach the ball, but anywrv, they
couldn't hit It.
The official scorer of the game ne
glected to turn In the box score to
the sporting editor, hence it is not
published today.

SILK PRODUCTION LESS ON
ACCOUNT OF WAR.
TOKIO, May 6. — The world'* silk
production Is suffering as a result of
the war. according to information
gathered by the Japanese department
of agriculture and commerce. Reports
show that the main sericultural coun
tries in Western Europe in the Near
East, and Asia Minor bad already been
affected when the rearing of spring
worms was due last year. In most of
these countries many laborers had
gone to the battlefields, the rearing
rooms were requisitioned for military
purposes and the mulberry plantations
trodden by the soldiery. Thus in
many districts It was Impossible to
rear the worms. Since the outbreak
of war the world's raw silk market
has been in a depressed condition.
No complete reports are available
as to the result in China, but it is
certain that the cocoon crop lias shown
a great decrease over that in the pre
vious year. On the whole the official
report concludes that the world's seri
culture during last year was seriously
affected hy the war as well as hy the
abnormal weather. The same can also
be said about Japan. Therefore, the
world's silk supply for the present
year Is expected to be remarkably
limited.

LONDON, May 10. — How com
pletely* the war is levelling all social
barriers in England was Illustrated
again at the last of the series of three
parties given by the king and queen
[at Buckingham palace for wounded
I sailors and soldiers. The function
, was attended by upwards of 800 men,
I who w ere afterwards entertained at

the London stage in the riding school
of the royal mews.
Practically all of the members of
the royal family excepting the king'

The king and queen spent two hours
moving among their guests and mak
ing solicitous inquiries, the sovereign I
evincing special interest in clearing
up particular points as to charges|
and counter charges in battles that
are now historical and reflecting the
thorough manner in which he had
familiarized himself with the strategy
of the war. Queen Alexandria, widow
of the late King Edward VII. seemed
everywhere in evidence and an object
of particular affection.
Addressing a bluff looking soldiet
on attempting to rise to greet him.
the king said: "Sit down, my good,
fellow; you’ve made your stand for
us, and in the very best way.” Look-1
ing towards the viands, the king ad
ded: "But mind you stoke up well." |

restrained laughter and of good fel- J
lowship. from w hich all formality was j j

queen and Queen Alexandria joined j
