The regular annual inspection of the battalion was held Friday morn ing at ten o’clock. The inspecting was done by Major Gresham of the United States Cavalry. The battal ion presented an excellent appear ance and although the inspection was not so rigid as in several pre vious years the rating will no doubt be higher. The marching was ex cellent as were all the maneuvers and Captain Lawton expressed himself as being well pleased with the drill and inspection in general. Various movements were executed on the drill field above Dr. Gill’s residence after the inspection and later an ex hibition in skirmishing and charging was given on the front campus. Advance guard work was also per formed by one of the companies. A number of visitors were present and viewed the inspection and work of the battalion. E. E. Society The Electrical Engineering So ciety enjoyed its last monthly “Feed” of the year last Saturday evening. The affair took on the nature of a farewell reception to the Seniors. Toasts appropriate to the occasion were given. About a dozen Lt'.ers from different 1904 Electricals were read and proved exceedingly interesting. STATE COLLEGE, PA., JUNE 1, 1905. Base Ball The members of the California Normal Baseball team arrived here last Friday afternoon. In the even ing the fellows at the Track House organized an impromtu stag dance for the visitors. The game started with the visitors at the bat, but it took only enough time for a one, two, three order to retire the side. As usual State started her batting part of the first inning with a tremendous slaughter on the opposing pitcher’s delivering. In short order the first three batters occupied bases. Mcllveen then put finishing touches to the inning by knocking out a three bagger, scor ing three runs. Throughout the game all State men played with spirit consistent with the revenge for the defeat of week before last. Our boys hit so hard that in the fifth inning McCleary was forced to retire from the box and Abbot, who pitched such excellent ball against us in the first game, took his place. The latter seemed to pitch better ball but at times he was somewhat wild. In the field the Normal boys played good ball with the exception that the outfielders left several grounders get past them. Owing to the nearness of the east ern trip Haverstick and Mcllveen each pitched half the game as they were scheduled to pitch Monday and Tuesday against Villanova and Princeton respectively.

At times the game was a regular circus. The last game of the season with Bloomsburg should prove an excit ing one as Bloomsburg is playing ex cellent ball this year. California has a large number of ‘ ‘six-footers’ ’ on her team. A younger brother of our short stop, Cree, plays a good game at second for the Normalities. On Saturday evening last Mr. George Kiernan, actor and imper sonator gave a recital of the play “Rip Van Winkle,” which helped so much to endear the late Joe Jefferson, to the hearts of Ameri can theatre-goers. Mr. Kiernan was, during the lifetime of Jefferson, his personal friend, and learned at first hand all the peculiarities of Jefferson’s interpretation of Rip Van Winkle’s character. times the pathos of the story was deep and true to life; at others the hu mor expressed by voice and manner was irresistable; and altogether it was an entertainment of high order, enjoyable from start to finish. 122 3 0 0 12 0 0 Price Five Cents RHO A E 0 0 10 0 0 17 0 0 000 2 0 003 0 2 0 0 14 0 0 12 0 0 004 1 0 0 110 1 005 0 0 Rip Van Winkle.
