hits came at such odd intervals that
the surprised Worcesters didn't know
what to do. The support he received
could discount any decree of the court
for alimony. In every portion OF the
field Toronto put up a magnificent
game. In the middle section of the IN
field this was particularly noticeable
because of the great contrast with that
section of the Worcester field.
Lampe was on the slab for Worces-
ter. He pitched an excellent game.
One that will win in 9 games out OF 10
Only in one inning was there anything
like concerted hitting by Canadians In
that inning three doubles with Harring-
tons failure to stop the ball sand
wiched in. secured only a single run on
account of the good work ofthe Worces-
ters. The daring base running of the Wis
itors helped in this. They were certainly
daring and took longer chances than a
man does playing faro. In the early
part of the game fortune favored the
brave, and they got away with the runs
as easily as a Wandering Willie does
with chicken that has lost the card
Of directions to the coop.
Worcester got its runs easily. In the
second Smiths base on balls followed
by hits by Wilder and Lampe scored
one, and the other came from F'risbee' s
single steal of second and Brannon's
failure to stop Harrington's hit to
right
Toronto, which went to bat first, sent
out a sheriff with papers of attach
ment, and had the game secure from
Worcester before play was started
Jimmy Bannon, formerly of Holy
Cross, was first>to bat, and he was
greeted with a round Of applause. He
drew a pass to first, Lampe cropping
for the plate like suddenly awakened
man reaches for his trousers when he
thinks a burglar is trying to touch him.
He went to third when Smith threw
Hannivan out at first-good running
by Bannon and poor playing by the
Worcesters. An out scored him.
A single out at first, bad throw by
Lampe and single scored Wagner in
the second. Two errors by Smith, and
an out scored Bemis in the fifth. Han
nivan's triple and a grounder to Yea
ger added another in the following inn
ing.
Bemis was hit by the ball in the
seventh, stole second, took third on
Beaumont's grounder and scored on a
sacrifice by Rothfuss.
The Torontos hit in the eighth, but
did not accomplish much. Hannivan
got a double. He went around when
Harrington failed to close his legs on
Gray's grounder, but he refused to
recognize third base and was put out
for not touching i. Gray tried to
score on Smith double, but was nailed
at the plate. Smith was more FORUM
ate, reaching the goal on Wagner's
double. The score:

YALE's DAY TO WIN.

New Haven, Conn. May 1O.-Yale to-
day defeated Columbia in an interesting
but not brilliant game of base ball. In the
first three innings Columbia played poor
ball, but braced up. Gibson was in the box
for Yale eight innings and pitched well
with the exception of the fifth inning. 1t
was then that Columbia earned her first
three runs. As an exhibition of playing
abilities it was not particularly a success
for either team. The score:

tor James Donald Cameron. OF Pennsyl-
yania. having married the eldest daughter
of the late Simon Cameron. who from 1860
until the early eighties was one of the fore
