The heavens, or rather the well Wei,
strata of clouds that hung heavily over
National Park yesterday afternoon, looked
askance when Tim Hurst said play
1t was ladies' day and the usua! ''hoodo0"
was on hand in the shape OF bad weather,
but IT could not prevail against the Sen
ators' good playing.
The Trolley ocgers were bit more
lively than the day previous, and could
they have batted Jimmy McJames, possibly
could have wrested the second contest of the
series from their opponents.
SHORTSTOP"ZEKE
The pitching of naub and the all-round
f.eldng OF the club behind him, especially
Corcoran and Jones, were features on the
visitors side. while the iwirling OF Ale
James and the work OF Wrjgley at short
for the Senators, influenced the 800
people present to become candidates for
the thirt y-third degree OF enthusiasm.
The incidents OF the game were many.
In the second half or the first inning De-
Montrcville attempted Il steal o! third and
was called ont Oh Grim's throw TO Shinkle.
Genie kicked hard and long on Hurst's de-
cisiun, and Tim to rid himself of the young
ster's anathemaS put him out OF the game.
Hurst went Oh the field Sick from malaria
and his duties only increased the fever that
had him in its tolls.
HURST WAS OVERCOME.
In the latter half OF the fourth inning,
while O'BrIen was at ba., Tim had to IN
conditio rally surrender To the attack and
retire from the game.
He was succee led by local substitute,
Johnny Heydlcr, VINO finished he game with
out friction, barring a senseless kick by
capt. Griffin, who was declared out at
second OF an attempt 10 teal the bag
Nike was out by mile md his raporis gs
over Johnny's Just decision were Iudicrous
if not disgusting.
The game was played in one hour and
forty nine minutes.

AGAINST DUNRAVEN.
HIS LoRDsnIr LET DOWN EASILY.
His Charges Are Improved, Hut lie
IL Relieved of the Suspicion of
port Ready.

NEW YORK. January is.-Thc Evemns
Sun says; II can be stated with positive
ness this afternoon that the decision OK
the committee appointed by the New
York Yacht Club TO Investigate the
charges Of unfairness brought by Lord
Dunraven against the crew OF the Deg
fender is in favor OF the Defenders men.
The charges are found to be improved.
The committee. however. finds that
Lord Dunraven had grounds upon which
to base his suspicious. and thus relieves
him OF the suspicion that he brought the
accusation in malice. In fact. the report
lets Lord Dunraven down easily, al
though It Is found that the charges are
not proven.
This much was learned from a member
Of the club at an uptown hotel this after
noon. 1t is the first real information
which has been dlyulged concerning the
doings OF the committee
The committee. which IL composed OF
Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, the Hon.
William G. Whitney, Captain A. r. Ma
han, George l.. Rives. and the Hon. Il. j.
Phelps. has entirely completed its labvrs.
Its report OF the investigation OF tho
evidence and the findings forms a bulky
volume Of over 600 printed pages. The
report Is now on It's way 20 Englans.
and will be published there at the ssne
time that 1t is made public IN this ccun-
try. Some details OF the evidence given
were learned this afternoon.
Lord Dunraven based his gccasat'on
that the load-water-line OF the Defender
haH rbanped hafQra the frtf the
international races. and alter the yachts
were measured. entirely on the APPEAR
ance Of the yacht In the water.
HIS LORDSHIP'S OBSERVATION.
He declared that certain point on the
hull OF the Defender. which was we'll
above the water-line when she was mea-
sured, was entirely submerged and out OF
sight on the day OF the race.
The Investigating Committee acknow-
lodges that Lord Dunraven spoke 10 Mt
Latham Fish about the matter, but the
committee finds that Lord Dunraven's
action did not take the form OF formal
complaint. In that way the fact that the
Defender was not Immediately re-
measured ON the nigh, Of September sih
Is justified.
When the Defender was rcmeasured on
September 9th Il was found that her Load
Wdter-llne was Ntle hlbntI dvoNe 'hr
water than at the time OF the previous
measurement. II tho Defender had been
measured again on the night after the
first race there would have been no
ground for dispute. That such remeasufe-
ment was not made vas due to the fact
that Lord Dunrayen i'd not make formal
complaint TO MIR. Fish, as he should have
done.
Lord Dunraven, Il Is understood, main
talned before the committee that he sup
posed his complaint was formal. and that
there was plenty OF opportunity TO let
water-ballast out OF the Defender during
the time which elapsed between the race
and the time OF the measurement the
next morning. The committee. however,
did not think his as ertionS we'll founded.
The verdict. therefore. Is In favor OF the
Defender II Is expected that the report
will be made public the latter part or
next week.
