Colorado Springs was plainly there to win the contest by any old means, and when it became apparent in the first two in- nings that the Rourke Rangers had them strapped to the operating table, they quit playing ball and began beefing. Omaba made & run in the first, and the first three men up in the second made singles. G bam's was the last, and as the ball rolled slowly towards third base along the white line, Granville waited to see if 1t would Dot turn out a foul. It stayed true in the track, however, and hit the bag, bouncing up then and roiling over the foot of Hickey, who was running from second. Latham sald, “Let the game go on” and then Ever- itt jumped into the ring. He said the man was out because he was hit by a batted ball, which was entirely right, by the way. Latham thought so, too, and in the face of the entire Colorado team, whick had swarmed onto the field, he changed his de- cision, calling Hickey out. Pop Bottle Hits Latham. This started Omaha to going. and Cal- Poun kept &t it so hard that he was fined and then ordered out of the game. Genins took the place, and played perfectly. But Omaha was then riled st the umpire, and in the fourth a pop bottle bounced up and hit him. It came from the west bleachers, and Arlie went clear crazy. He rushed round ' and demanded police protection, which be got. Things went along quietly till the eighth, Omaha constantly increasing its lead. The 3,000 people present had settled back to watch base ball again, but as soon as Bill Everitt came to bat and struck out for the third time stuff was off again. To Bill's Dotion he had won a buse on balls, and he walked up to Latham and grabbed him by the shirt. Latham knocked Bill's arms off and then the first baseman calied him some lovely names. That was too much for Ar- lie, and he sald that if Bill wasn't thrown from the grounds he would give the game to Colorado Springs. Bill was thrown, while his team mates grabbed their bats threateningly =and yelled at Latham, “You're going to get it plenty.” But Omaha won, and deserved all of it. There was some nice hitting, and peither He and Stone were both there ith a triple and a single. Hollingsworth the great hitting for the visitors. Stone e bases llke a mud turtle taking bait. OMAHA.

On the front of the base of the monument is a figure of tbe god- dess of Liberty stepping out of a boat. In her left hand she hoids & flagstafl, on which the Dtars and Stripes and the French flag are intertwined. In her right band is = #word, with which she is defending an American eagle, which stands above a #hield, beuring thirteen stars, symbolical of the original colonies. The sides of the base of the monument will bear the coa: of arme of France and of the Rochambeau family. The back of the base will bea: the name of Count de Rochambeau. A bronze statue of Rochambeau, standing with his right band upraised, surmounis the stone base. France will be represented by Count de Rochambeau, greut grandson of the French marshal, and blé wife, and a number of officials designated by the French govern- ment. The date of the unvelling is the anniver- sary of Count de Rochambeau's entrance into the French army, in 1742, when only 17 years old. He was e@ucated for the priesthood, but the death of his elder | brother made him heir to the tie and | estates of hie father, and he followed the traditions of the family and entered the army. In 1747 he was made & colonel, and in 1791 he was made a fleid marshal. He served with distinction as the commander. | in-chief of the French forces in America Quring the war of independence and was called the father of the French army by Emperor Nepoleon, who held him in high esteem. A Glamor of There is a glamor of romance surround- ing the very name of the Rochambeau of the American revolution—and so long ae the story of that revolution continues to bold interest and charm, just so Jong will the story of Rochambeau hold its color Lright and fadeless in the woof of Ameri- can history. From out the muitiplied memoirs of his private and public life a writer in the Washington Post presents these salient features: One hundred and seventy-six years &go he was born at Vendome, France, July 1, 1725. He entered the army in 1742 as & cornet in the regiment of St. Stmon. The records show that he distinguished him- self in the campaigne of 1744-45 and in 1746 was ald-de-camp to the duke of Orleans. In 1747, at the age of 22, he was commis- sioned colonel of the infantry regiment. In the battle of Lanfield, the same year, he received a wound in the head, and as he was belng carried insensible from the field a second wound in the thigh restored him to consciousness. mance. Near the end of 1749 he married the notably beautiful and cultured Mile. Telles &'Acosta. A son and & daughter were born to them. The daughter lived but & ehort time. The son, Donatien Marie Joseph de Vimeure, Vicomte de Rochambeau, was his father's companion in arms in America. After the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, Colonel Rochambeau became governor of Vendome, but on the breaking out of the seven years' war he resumed active mili- tary service. In 1756 he was commissioned brigadier general. He served in Germany in 1760 and at the battle of Cloister Camp, while resisting a charge of English grena- diers, he received a ball in the thigh, but by the ®id of two chasseurs, who assisted him to walk, he had strength to give or- ders during the day. Assigned to American Command. In 1780, after years of faithful servies and while ill of inflammatory rheumatism, he was appointed lieutenant gemersl to take charge of the expeditionary forces destined to aid the Americans. As soon as bhe was able to travel he went to Ver- sallles to receive the orders of the king. The cholce of this distinguished miltary geniue as commander of the Auxillary Army corps was due to the suggestion of Lafayette. General Rochambesu was pre- ceded to America by Count d'Estaing, who had been bafled by the English st Sa- vannah. The unexpected result of this ex- pedition, the Il success of the attack In South Carolina and the depreciation of paper currency—this combination of af- fairs precipitated dire extremity and dark despalr. ‘Washington stands out a bescon of rea- son, philosophy and walor in this ers of discouragement. In one of hise remark- sble letters urging the provision for the half-pay of the American officers, when the war should end—as an inducement to retain the officers at the heads of their regiments, he says: “Men may speculate as they will; they may talk of patriotiem; they may draw & few examples from ancient stories of great achievements per- formed by its influence, but whoever bullds upon them & sufficient basis for conduct- ing & long and bloody war, will find himself deceived in the end. 1 know patriotism ex- ists and 1 know it has done much in the present crisis, but I will venture to assert that & great and lasting war can Dever be supported on this principle alome. It must be aided by & prospect of interest or some reward.” This critical situation induced congress to solicit agaln from bher ally land and naval forces—and most urgent of all— money. France agreed to wsend out & squadron of seven ships to cruise off the coast of America. At first it was proposed to send 12,000 men, to be augmented to 20,000, but those figures were greatly re- duced subsequently. A ocorps of 4,000 able troops and & considerable supply of specie were voted. General Rochambeau observed that the body of men under his command was too small to act eficiently and &t his sugges- tion it was doubled, with secret instruc- tions from the king that the troops were to embark without definite knowledge whither they were bound, and that the troops should not be @ispersed, but re- main under French genersls—and the French generals should be under the com- mand of Weshington. This expedition was to be followed later in the year by & second division. The French navy being unable to furnish & suficlent number of transports, parts of regiments were left behind. On May 2, 1780, the first division left Brest with the regiments of Bourbonnsis, Solssennais Saintonge, Royal Deux Ponts, about 500 artillerists 600 men of Lausun's jegion— 800 of whom were intended to form a troop of borses.

On the seventleth day from Brest, July 12, 1780, General Rochambeau and #taff em- barked on Amazon and sailed into Newport The arrival of the French troops, while inferior in pumbers to what had been an- ticipated, was hafled with grateful senti- mente by Washington and congress Lafayette was impetuous and urged Wash- ington to begin aggressive measures at once, even if the Engish did have the ad- vantage in numbers and a stronger naval force. But Count de Rochambesu's domi- nating traft—discretion—was admirably dis- closed in a quiet, restraining letter to corps at Rbode “It is always well, my dear marquis, to | believe the French invincible, but I am going to tell you a secret. In an experi- ence of forty vears 1 have found nome easler to conquer than those who have lost confidence in their leader, and they lose that immediately when they find them- selves sacrificed to one's own particular aims and perwonal ambitions. If 1 have been 8o fortunate as to retain the confi- dence of my soldlers, it is only because I am able to say, after a most scrupulous examination of my conscience, that of the 15,000 who have been kilied when under my command 1 cannot reproach myself with the death of a single soldier.” Request for More Men. As a result of a conference General Ro- chambeau sent his son back to France to convey and explain to the ministers the wants of his own men and those of Wash- ington. General Rochambeau, 1n his own account of the independence of the United States, gives a graphic statement of affairs at that time and a detalled story of the part his son took in the history of the war. 1t had been settled at the conference in Hartford that be should proceed thither with the particulars and the result of an intérview, together with a memoir contain- ing the full account of the additional troops, vessels and specie which were needed. The latter item was the more es- sential, as by heavy Joans which had been contracted the pay of the troops Was pro- vided for only until Jaduary 1. My son had committeed to memory the whole of my dispatches, so as to be able to render full verbal accounts to the ministers, lest he should have the misfortune to fall into the hands of the ememy, the dispaiches be taken from him and he be sei at liberty on parole.” General Rochambesu's son put 10 sea Oc- fober 28, with M. de la Peyrouse. They passed through the midst of the English ships during = gale of wind which pre- vented the English from following. General Rochambeau continues M. de la Peyrouse returned in February. We learned that my son and be had found on their arrival at Versailles, among other things, that the English, having declared war on the Dutch, were taking them by surprise in all their possessions in which they were unprotected; that France was making active preparations to send out both military and naval forces to thelr as- stance, and, lastly, that all the ctreum- stances would not allow of further effica- clous attention being paid to the wants of America. The king, however, ordered M. de la Peyrouse to return immediately to America and take with him 1,500,000 franes which had been deposited at Brest for the last six monthe, to be carried out by the Second division. His majesty further ai- rected that Colonel Rochambesu (his son) should be detained untll he could deter- mine in council on the reply to be made to the request of the Americans. “My won arrived in Boston on May 8 on board the frigate Concord, in company with M. de Barros, who had been appointed to the command of the squadron, vice de Ohevalier de Ternay. My dispatches stated —which was at the same time declared to congrees by his majesty's minister, that different circumetances, among other an Boglish fleet, superior in number, crulsing off Brest, had prevented the salling of the Second division In the preceding year, but that in order that America should not be deprived of the assistance which had been provided for it and which France had no desire to profit by, the government had come to the determination to send money in lieu of troops, and that for that pur- pose a sum of 6,000,000 francs had been voted with which General Washington might provide for the wants of his army.” None can read a line of the dire neces. sities, Qistress and suffering of the men who were standing for freedom, with bleed- ing and torn feet, naked and starved bodies without & lump in the throat and yet a song in the heart that relief did come in time! Lafayette had provided his troops with shirts, shoes and hats by pledging his private fortune, while General Rochambeau advanced on his own account §20,000 before the last gift of France reached the colonies. An Able Ally. Among all the books of Americana none occupy ®o conspicuous or so large & space as those on the American revolution, snd nowhere is the thrill of interest so in- tense ms the chapter where Rochambeau enters the story and where he lends his powerful brain to the exigencies of the hour. He and Washington were very close in this critical time. At Newport and on down the curving coast—all the days since, military students have delighted to dwell on that series of tactical, strategical move- ments, untll the English are finally netted at Yorktown, A dramatic episode in that crisls is mot wanting in interest. The regiment of the Gatinais grensdiers were to lead the at- tack. This regiment had been formed out of that of Auvergne, of which Count de Rochembeau bhad been colonel and which by 1is brave and honorsble conduct hed earned the title of “d’Auvergne sans tache.” When Rochambeau igned the regiment thelr part in the attack he said: “My lads, 1 have need of you this might and hope that you will not forget that we have served to- gether in that brave regluent of “Auvergne sans tache''—Auvergne without & stain. The soldiers replied that if the general would promise to have their old name re- siored to them they would stand toc be killed to the lest men. He promised They kopt their word—losing & third of their complement. At the final reckoning the king restored to them the appellation of “Royal Auvergne.” General Rochem- besu returned to Philadelphia, received the thanks of cougress—also two cannen taken from the Boglisb army, upos which was | assembiy, b the landig and | engraved his coat-of-arms with a laudable inscription, and the American secretary of forelgn affairs was inetructed to recom- mend Rochambesu and his army 1o the fae vorable notice of Louls XV1 Honored by the King Rochambesu safled 1783, on board the frigate The king gave him & d recept and made him comman Picardy and Artols, granted all and preferments asked for hie soldiers, presented him with two w rt by the famous miniature pa Blarenberghe, representing the Yorktown and the English garriso: before the French and Americ and at the head of hir victorfous Mentz he received the baton of Mareche France A short, rapld pen must of interest until the revolution in his own land.
