He was a man of prominence, edu- cation, and authority in his own time." Thus did Professor R. M. Wenley ex- plain his fellow countryman before a large audience in the natural sci- ence building yesterday when he lec- tured upon the subject of "Boswell." By giving a short biography of the life of Boswell, Professor Wenley showed how the famous biographer possessed the faculty of making him- self liked by all classes of people and especially by the geniuses of the time. From the time that Boswell entered upon his career as a student of law at Edinburg University, he possessed that wonderful faculty of making himself persona gratia to the scholars of the time. By the time he was 23 years of age he knew many of the bigger 'literary lights of the Brit- ish world. On the 16th of May in 1763, Boswell met with the greatest event of his life. He was introduced to Dr. Samel Johnston. A short time after this momentuous meeting, he left for travel on the continent and wandered from court to court until at last he came to the island of Corsica. Here he wrote a book on his adventures on this island whicl is considered by authori- ties today as one of the most interest- ing of its kind. He was liked by all the great personages with whom he came in contact. On his return to Scotland Boswell began the practice of law but, on ac- count of his associations with many actors in Edinburg, he gained the dis- pleasure of his associates at the bar. A short tine after that Boswell was made a member of the Literary Soci- ety, a membership which was com- posed of such men as Johnston, Gold- smith, Richardson, Garrick, and Gib- bon. In this society Boswell was es teemed as one of the most liked of its members, being liked for his jolly frankness and 'cheerfulness. In conclusion Prof. Wenley showed that Boswell produced books which are well worth reading: the Corsican adventures, and then of course, the im- mortal life of Johnston. Then he was 1 esteemed by the society in which he - lived a gentleman and a scholar, and . this distinction was a tribute to the - man for the society of the period was 1 most birlliant. e HUGHES' TRIP NEARLY READY r New York, July 25.-Chairman Wil- 1 liam R. Willeox, of the Republican na- d tional campaign committee, on his re- turn from Bridgehaenpton today, said . that the itinerary of Mr. Hughes' ap- proaching western trip has virtually - been determined, but the announce- d ment would be delayed until it could be so arranged that in going to the n Rocky Mountains for a week's recrea- s tion the candidate would not be com- l pelled to deviate to any extent from his speaking route,. BIG FINISH HELPSt COVER P000 STAT Coach Lundgsen and Captain Labadie Responsible for Success of 1916 Baseball Team PROSPECTS ARE (OOD FO1 1917 A green team, a weak box staff, the most disastrous southern trip in the history of Michigan baseball, a slow rounding to form, and a final rush that carried Pennsylvania, M. A. C. and Notre Dame powerless before it, such is the story of Michigan's 1916 base- ball season, a season that would go down as the worst a Maize and Dine diamond squad had ever undergone were it not for that glorious finish. As it stands, it speaks wonders for Coach Lundgren as a developer of green material. The coach began the season with but three veterans, Captain Labadie, Elmer Brandell, and "Bill" Niemann. These men all began operations in the outfield, thus giving the team an ab- solutely green inner defense and bat- tery staff. Constant experimenting and changing was necessary and it was not until the fag end of the season that the lineup was finally decided upon. Of the four men who started at the infield positions against Georgia, not one occupied the same place during the final series against Notre Dame. The outfield was in a constant state of upheaval and the en- tire hurling burden was carried for the greater part of the season by two men, "Joe" Robbins and "Shortie" Miller. At the backstop position, "Duke" Are'ntz looked to have his job nailed down at the beginning of the season, but was soon forced to re- linquish the title of first-string catcher to "Morrie" Dunne, who thereupon proceeded to develop into one of the most efficient handlers of the big mitt that a Wolverine team has boasted i many a moon. The team got away badly, being forced to start on the southern trip with but two days of outdoor practice. This lack of practice was easily ap- parent throughout the entire trip, the infield being absolutely lost on bunts and fly balls. Six defeats and one draw was the final toll of the Dixie- land jaunt, winding up with a 14 to f rout at the hands of Notre Dame. The team, on its return to Ann Arbor, pro- ceeded to entrench itself against the big games of the season by raising the scalps of such aggregations as Olivet, Kalamazoo, Case, and Ypsi Normal. However, both Syracuse and Cornell cored shut outs at Ann Arbor and the Wolverines were forced to go 14 innings to a 1 to 1 tie with the Kazoo Normal. Then came the eastern trip. marking the beginning of the final drive. Two games had been lost to the Orangemen and one to Cornell when the nine seemed to suddenly come together, and the Ithacans were set down 4 to 2. The next day there was a temporary reverse before the game Garnet crowd from Swarthmore and then the final string of four vie- (Continued on Page Four) SERVICES FOR "DEUTSCHLAND" Baltimore, Md., July 25,-A com- munion service was held last night aboard the interned North German Lloyd steamer Neckar, lying along- side the submarine Deutschland, for the captain and crew of the sub- marine, The Rev.

CAPTAIN GEORGE LABADIE SCIENTIST S ENINEED EHAY THIS__FTENOON Lits and Laws to Play Off Game Postponed Because of Rain Last Thursday This afternoon on South Ferry Field the scientists and the engineers lock horns in their first meet of the sum- mer league. The engineers ought to be able to handle their opponents very easily as they have been showing good form so far, and their team will be strengthened by the return of "Turk" Turner, who has been out of town for some time. The scientists and the laws have been unable to make much of a show- ing up to date as they have been han- dicapped by the fact that scant in- terest has been shown in turning out for the teams. This is an extraordin- ary occurrence for the laws, as here- tofore they have always had the big- gest turnout of any department. On Wednesday afternoon the lits and laws will play off the game that was called last Thursday, on account of rain. Robins will probably mount the mound for the lits.

Hutchins, of the University of Michigan, leaves soon to attend a meeting of the advisory com- nittee on students' camps held at Plattsburg, New York, August 4 and 5. The advisory board consists of eight presidents, representing some of the best universities asid colleges of the country.

The camp -lasts five weeks during the months of July and August. WILSON "SLAPPED" iN TEXAS Washington, 0. C., July 25.-A sting- ing defeat was administered to Presi- dent Wilson by the voters of Texas on Saturday. Such is the verdict of official Wash- ington, now that the returns from the Lone Star state, practicaly all in, in- dicate a straight out victory for the anti-Wilson men. Wilson, Wilson's Mexican policy, and Wilson's foreign policy were the thee chief issues in the campaign. The supporters of Wilson and his policies were beaten wherever there was op- position to them, according to the re- ports. Former Gov. Colquitt, basing his campaign entirely on opposition to Wilson and .Wilson's Mexican policy, is far in the lead for the senatorial nognination. Dr. Ward In Blue Grass State Dr. M. L. Ward, new dean of the Dental College, is attending a meet- ing of the National Dental Association at Louisville, Kentucky. ALL-CAMS TAKE TEACVERS' SCALP Yps Normal No Match for Brand of Ball Which (le(ampus Stars, Band Them NIEMtANN SHOWS FINE FORM Outclassing their opponents in every department of the game, the all- campus baseball team Saturday after- noon took the Ypsi Normal crew into camp by a ocore of 9 to 4. "Wallie" Niemann, pitching in superb form for the Wolverines, held the Teachers to four scattered hits and whiffed 11 per- spiring Normalite batsmen. After the first half of the first inning, the down- river boys never had a look-in at the final laurel leaves. The Michiganders slammed out ten hits, Brown and Cut- ting donating doubles and "Dick" Gardner poling out a four-cushion wallop. "Toad" Brown and "Lefty" Brilmeyer were the hitting stars of the day, each garnering two blows. The Wolverine bombardment began in the first frame. Brown, first man up, walked. Brewer singled and Brown pulled up at the third corner. Brilmeyer drew a free pass and the sacks were loaded. Gardner then dropped a long fly in the center-field well and Brown scored on the throw- in, the other two men moving up dur- ing the excitement. Gracey popped out to the pitcher but Hole, the Nor- mal hot-corner guardian, bobbled Nie- mann's roller and Brewer galloped over the pan. Cutting flied out to short. The Michiganders staged another big jubilee in the fifth round, when they put over three counters before the smoke cleared away. Gardner landed on first through an error by the Normal second-sacker. Gracey hari-karied, Gardner advancing. Nie- mann fanned but Cutting doubled, scoring Gardner, and rang the bell himself a few seconds later when Curtis' hopper was booted by the Ypsi second-baseman. . Curtis stole second and scored on Brazell's single. Brown skied out to the middle pasture. Score by innings: R.H.

"AS YOV LIKE IT" Uncertain Weather Does Not Frighten Away Friends of Shakespeare From Last Performances IEARNS AND SOMNES STAR Threatening weather could not dis- courage lovers of-the stage from at- tending the third and fourth perform- ances by the Ben Greet Players on last Saturday, and the acting was in- deed worthy of the large audience which was there. "As You Like It," which is especial- ly adapted to outdoor presentation, was played in the afternoon, and Miss Kearns carried the role of Rosalind or Ganymede, perfectly, concealing a very womanly heart under her man's apparel, In the evening the company gave "Romeo and Juliet," with Mr. Somnes and Miss Kearns in the title roles. The whole presentation showed the marks of hard training, and the balcony scene and the scene at the tomb of Juliet were especially realistic. Mr. Somnes shows great ability in inter- preting tragic roles, and played the part of the love-crazed Romeo with much feeling.
