Michigan's opening game yesterday with Bay City was played in anything but ideal baseball weather. Rain and snow fell at intervals and the wind was raw and piercing, but despite this the 'Varsity put plenty of life into their' work and won an easy virtory by a score of I1 to 2. Only six innings were played. Damoth, who pitched for Bay City, did not let himself out, and the 'Varsity pounded him safely fifteen times for a'total of twenty bases. Dav- ies led the battery with three hits, two of which were doubles. Condon, Cool- ey, Gilbert, Matteson and Bishop fol- low with two each, With the excep- tion of two wild pitches by McGinnis and a. passed ball by Thompson the 'Varsity's fielding was all that could be desired, nst a fielding error being made. A very neat double play was made by Cooley, Gilbert and Condon is the fourth inning, and was heartily applauded by the crowd, as was a fine catch by Davies in center. Both Mc- Ginnis and Lehr did fine work in the box. The former pitched the first five innings, and with the exception of the fifth inning was steady . He succeeded in striking out nine men, and held the vsitors down to three hits, one of which was a scratch. Lehr pitched 'the last Inning and showed speed. Two strike- outs are placed to his credit. "The only" Lowney played in his character- istic style for Bay City. He was as craf- ty as ever and stole no less than three bases. Pangburn's playing in left field was a feature and was cheered. All of the visitors are gentlemanly players, and the entire series of games may be counted upon to be enjoyable. Michigan drew a blank in the firs-t inning but in the second scored file tines. In the third three two-baggers, three singles, a base on balls and three errors were the means of tallying nine runs. In both the fifth and sixth in- nings 'two runs were scored. Bay City scored one in the first on a hit, a base on balls, a wild pitch and a passed ball. The other score came in the fifth, when Lowney bunted safely and three bases on balls forced him in.

Mathematics Has Its Day. The Schoolmasters' Club held its con- ference in Mathematics yesterday after- noon in the lecture room of Tappan Hall. Prof. Beeman presided and pro- ceeded at once to the program by in- troducing Miss Annie V. Hedrick, of Oak Park High School, Illinois. Her paper was on" Accuracy in Mathemat- les in the High School," and contained many vaittable suggestions. The dis- cussion from the -standpoint of Ithe col- lege was by Prof. C. B. Willilms, of Kalamazoo College. He commended the ideas and suggestions of Miss Hed- rick, and offered as his own sugges- tion that the courses in secondary schools be simplified much more than at present. Following. him, Prof. Ales. Ziget, of the University, read his paper en "The Infinite in Mathematics." It was fuil of practical illustrations of the uncer- tainties which arise in dealing with in- finity and with zero. Much ;nterest in the subject was manifested by those present. "The Trisection of an Angle," by Prof. Henry Benner, of Albion Col- lege, was the next paper. In it several methods for obtaining the trisection of SOCIAL ORGANISM. . Ably Treated By Prof. N. 1'. Gilman. Prof. H. P. Gilman, of Hoston, editor of "The New World," gave an-unusual- ly interesting lecture on "The Social Organism" before the Philosophical So- ciety yesterday. Social ornganism is a phrase that has crept into general lit- erature from scientific works. The nat- ural sciences throw but little light on the subject. Cestain writers interpret society as an organism analogous to those considered by biology and physi- ology. But it can't be a biological or- ganism. Society is a natural psycho- logical corporation. Herbert Spencer says if it is not inorganic it is organic. This is true if the organic and inorgas- i include everything. It is true if there is no superorganic. This term is justifiable as meaning an organic whole or body. In this mean- ing of organism society has often beet 'alled an organism in literat-.re. Paul, Shakespears, Thomas Hobbes and Pas- cal have all referred toit. Pascal said all generations were as a single indi- vidual past, present and future, living in all time in every country. It is well to make the comparisot tn imetaphor but when we go into a particular sci- entifle analogy we tread on dangerous ground. Society is not truly and ac- tually organic because it is over and above a biological organism. And that is what makes it distinctly a human or- ganism. Spencer says "Society is an or- ganism." Fle finds many points of like- ness to an organism tnd devostes a large part of his book to tracing out the analogy. He traces out the growth ard differentiation, etc. And American an angle were explained and comment- writers have followed by working out ed upon.
