the close of the game the score stood 13 to
IN their favor. The men of crimson hue
would indicate as the Pswtuekets bad a
decidedly OF day, and some OF the most
reliable men on the team were charged up
with errors.
Donsvan occupied the box for four in

for the college men, who took to his curves

The latter was still suffering from a sore
arm, and did not have his ordinary speed.
The outfield had a decided day of, and
Coughlin from apparent over-anxiety to
work made two errors.
The redeeming features of the game was
the work of Gilbert at short, Stouch at
second and Smith at the bat.
The Harvard men played with snap
and vim In striking contrast to the work
of some of the visitors. Not one of the
Harvard men struck out.
Weisbecker, the first man at the bat was
struck bp Paine, and took first. Beau
mont knocked a short fly which Dean cap
tured. Smith hit grounder which
rcsched second before Weisbecker, and b @
was put out. Whiting hit for base, and
Stouch touched up Paine for three bag
ger, and brought In Whiting and Smith.
Grsfins was doubled up by the short stop
and first baseman, and the dining ended
with two runs to the credit of Pawtucket.
Dean led of with base hit to left field,
stole second, and reached third on passed
ball. Houghton was put out at first.
Rand hit safely, and went down to third
on tumble Of Stevenson's grounder by
Gilbert. Paine was caught of first and
Stevenson scored. The inning closed with
the score tie.
The Pawtuckets did not score again until

Echoes Of the Recent Disastrous
Combat In India.
THE QUEEN HAS SENT A MESSAGE.
Deplores the Loss of So Many of Her Sol
dicrs, but Compliments the Troops
on Their Behavior During
the Engagement.

BOMBAY. Sept. 2O.-Advices from the
front show that the various columns
are advancing against the Mahmoukis
from PanjkOra and Shabkadr. AS yet
they have met with no serious opposi-
tion, but the difficulties Of transporta-
tion in a mountainous and almost path
less country are immense. Another
formidable obstacle in the way Of rapid
movement is the lack Of water.
The brigade Of General Jeffreys has
not Joined in the advance. but it LETT
camp at Anayat with IS companies Of
infantry and four guns in order to re-
attack the enemy at the village of Da-
modota. The enemy made a desperate
resistance, but We're driven out into the
hills.
The British demolished their towers
and captured 400 mule loads of supplies,
AS soon as the troops began to retire
from the village the enemy reappeared
In force. The retirement however, was
effected with great precision, the native
troops behaving splendidly. Two Sikhs
were killed and six wounded.
1t is now known that the encmy's loss
during the fight on Thursday last be-
tween the Mohmunds and the second
brigade of General Sir Bindon Blood in
the valley north of Anayat was very
heavy. The tribes engaged did not
press the brigade during the retire
ment but fresh tribesmen appeared.
Captain Ryder's company of Sikhs vir,
tually owe their lives to an Afridi SER
geant Of the Guides corps, who, when
the Sikhs had exhausted their ammuni-
ton and were desperately cutting their
way back through the enemy, dashed
up the hill under a heavy fire with a
supply of cartridges. He arrived just
in the nick Of time. as the swordsmer
/ of the enemy were already among the
Sikhs. who were absolutely unable
after the heavy climb and the hard
fighting, to continue a successful strug.
