THE LAFAYETfES won
Defeated the Catholic University

The Local Boys Outplayed the Vis-
jtors on All Points After the
Third Inning.

The ball tossers from Lafayette College
Easton, Pa. defeated the Catholic Uniyer-
sity team yesterday afternoon, at Columbia
Field, by score Of to i, in one OF
the prettiest games played on local grounds
this season.
AS the score indicates it was snappy
game The home team, somehow orother,
did not pull themselves together until the
fourth inning, after which time they
clearly outplayed the visitors at every
point.
At the outset the representatives, Of La
fayette went in to win and, WIN
single, u base on balls, and scratch home
ruIl, by Barclay, marked up three runs.
Again in the third inning, with two men
out, they managed to add three more
to their score. 1t was just at this time
that McTighe, who was doing the twirling
for the university boys, called halt
and from this on to the end, moved down
the visitors one after another. In this
line he made the record OF the game in the
fourth inning when, after one man had
reached first base, he struck out the next
three batters.

The Catholic University team showed

and with a little strengthening or the
receiving end of the battery Will have
every reason to put i'll a claim for the
college championship. There is no doubt,
however, that the suppy condition Of the
grounds had much TO do with the defeat
yesterday.
The game was witnessed by fair at

among which we're a large number of the

PIckPocKET IN CHURCH.
Piled His Trade While President
Mckinley Took Communion.

Pickpockets were at work Sunday in the
great throngs of people who attended the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church to see Iresi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley take their first
communion in Washington. While the
impressive services were in progress, a
well-dressed young man, apparently very
devout, stopped from his sham prayers
long enough TO pick the pockets Of Mr..
William I, Brown, visitor from Roches-
ter, n. Y. The thief secured Mr.. Browns
pocketbook containing SIS and some re-
ceipts, and then resumed his prayers until
a favorable opportunity arrived for him
to sneak from the church. Mr. Brown re-
ported the theft TO Inspector Hoilinberger.
1t is reported that a lady had her purse
stolen, but she has not reported the case
to the police.
Cover Haskins, residing at No, 619 ID

tute gymnasium. The Corcorans arc play

hold second place, which position the East
erns are equally earnest i'll the hope of
securing, and an interesting contest may
be expected. The latter team is con-
sderably weakened by the absence Of
Calliflower and Hannegan, two of its
strongest players who have gone to join
their respective ball teams, but the re-
manning players and substitutes are cap
able of putting up stiff game. Ample
provision will be made to accommodate a
large crowd of spectators.

baseball team, many OF whom are ardent
admirers of the popular indoor sport, will
