YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES
T1LE DISPLAYED THE TALE
 SPIRIT AND WON,
Surprised Most sanguine Enthusiasts aud Defeated GeorGet0wn-Rain Pre- vented State League Games Except Inc Onein Meriden-The Big Leagues.

] The Yale base ball team displayed some of the proverbial Yale form, spirit and fight in the ball game with George town university on Yale field yesterday afternoon and won out by a good sized margin where defeat had been freely predicted The Georgetown team is an nually recognized as one of the strong est university teams in the country,
 and the playing of the Yale team dur
 ing the past two weeks has been such
 that it was generally believed that the
 Blue would suffer defeat at the hands
 of the Georgetow men.
 The story of yesterdays game is told in the playing of the second inning. Yale solved the curves of Blewett. Instead of trying to knock out home runs each man at the bat took turn at bunting, and man after man reached t1rst base on this style of play. Blewett became
 wild and the players behind him be- came q trifle rattled. Errors were made at critical times and when the inning closed the Blue had piled up five runs, making total of six, one run having been scored in the first inning. Cox was substituted for Blewett and then
 Yale scored only at intervals adding three more runs to their credit before the game was called in the middle of the seventh inning, the rain preventing fur ther play. The score then stood to in Yale's favor. For Georgetown Cox pitched a great game during the time he was in the box. Dorman scored three of Georgetown's -four runs by smashing out a home run with two men on bases. Chittenden was given chance on first base for Yale and did we'll. His batting was very good. Met calf played at second in place of de- Saulles. Barnwell made two difficult catches in the deep center field. The summary follows:

Horse Knocked Down and Slightly In
 jured--The Car Also Damaged
 An accident happened shortly before o'clock last evening at the corner of Chapel and Chestnut streets, in which q horse attached to one of the Peck & Bishop company's express wagons, was knocked down and slightly injured; the driver, young man named Jilson, was thrown from his seat and injured about the head, and the trolley car was dam aged about the front platform.
 The accident occurred apparently as the result of the slippery condition of the streets, following the heavy rain storm, which made it impossible for the driver to stop the horse in time to avert the collision, and also hindered the mo- torman In bringing the car to a stand still. The car which was a steamboat car was bound uptown, while the ex- press team was headed south on Chest nut street.

to the amount of money due Israel When
the negotiations were opened he told them
he had lost $1,000 from his pocket. but had
about $500 at home and about $500 in the
bank at Marion. He agreed to turn these
amounts over to Israel if he would not
prosecute him. He said he could not re-
turn the $1,000 Israel eagerly accepted the
proposition, but the lawyer protested. He
told Israel he was "easy" The matter
