The closing day of the three-day tourna-
ment was given up to the final match play
rounds for the Frelinghuysen, Flagg and

play was at thirtySiX holes. Reinhart be-
gan stiftiy in the morning. He did not win
a hole on the outward journey, nor, indeed,

HARVARD IS CHAMPION.
Yale Defeated in the Deciding Game
by Score of 6 to 5.

Harvard won the deciding base ball
game Of the series of three between its
team and that Of Yale by defeating the
New Haven boys on the Polo grounds. New
York Saturday. The score was to 5.
Yale won the first game at Cambridge and
Harvard captured the second at New
Haven. Each team having lost on it's own
grounds, neutral territory was chosen for
the deciding contest
The struggle Saturday was very close and
exciting from start to finish. About 5000
people packed the grandstand and the
bleaCherS, and the usual contingentS OF
college boys were massed on opposite sides
of the stand and made the field ring with
their cheers and songs.
The fielding, particularly Of Harvard.
was ragged. that team having six errors
charged against it. But they made up for
this slovenly work by hard and timely bat
ting.
Harvard started off in the first inning
with two runs Coolidge was given his base
on balls. Wendell hit for a two-bagger.
Barnwell threw wide to the plate to cut
off Coolidge, allowing the shortstop to
score. Winslow re covered the ball and then
made an overthrow to third to catch Wen
dell, the latter coming home on the error
Randall got his base and went to second
on ClarkSons out on three strikes. He was
nailed at third trying to steal. Stillman
fouled out to Wnslow.
NO more runs were made until the sew
enth inning, when Yale tied the score
Cote reached first on a poor throw of Still
mans and Wusow singled Guernsey
struck out. Milne dropped the third strike
and Cote tried to get home, but was nailed
at the plate, Milne to GARRISON Miller got
tWo-base hit, bringing in Winslpw and
scored himself on a passed ball. Ch.tten-
den got to first on Clarkson's error, but
was caught off the bag. Skilton to Milne.
In the half Of this inning Harvard took
GIN
Skiton sacrificed. Cote muffed Matthews
long fly and Stillman scored. Milne was
an easy out at first and Cars fly was cap
tured by Wear.
In the last half of the last inning Mat
thews made the winning run with two men
out. He singled to left and got home.

Hackett Is Tennis Champion.

H. H. Hackett. an ex-champion of Yale.
won the Metropolitan tennis championship
for 1902 from r. D. Little. an old Princeton
player. on the courts Of the West Side Ten
mis- Club, New York, Saturday. in three
straight sets. This comparatively easy vic
tory for Hackett was quite a surprise to
the adherents of the Princeton man, but to
those who have pinned their faith on Hack
EFT during the season his victory came as
matter of course, notwithstanding the
fact that Little won the championship last
year and was the holder of the trophy.
Hackett also figured in another victory,

Cyclist Champion Won Again.

Albert Champion appropriated the four
cornered paced event at Manhattan Beach
Saturday in a convincing manner leading
Freeman. his nearest opponent, by a Lap
and 100 yards. with Monroe and Hall, the
other participants, out of the running.
Champion rode faultlessly behind his su-
perb pace, the tandem which he followed
travelling the twenty miles in 29.45 As, with
the sixth mile in 1.27 As. the best ever ac-
complished on the track swept by ocean
hreezes.
Freeman rode in surprisingly good form.
and not until the finishing lap of the eight
zenith mile did he acknowledge the SUI
premacy of the Frenchman. Earlier In the
contest the Oregonian made a fight that
caused some concern to the Champion ad-
herents.
Munroe and Hall. both handicapped by
inferior pace had a secondary struggle in
to trail single, which assured him of
fourth place.

only the beginning of the end. Alarming
rumors come from Guadalupe, Dominica
and other islands in the Antilles where
volcanoes, supposed to be extinct, are
beginning to be active again. That there
is some connection between the seismic
disturbances in Central America and
those among the islands along the east
ern limit of the Caribbean Sea is I'M
doubtedly true. We can regard destruc-
ton of this kind in far-aWay Asia or
Africa with complacency, but the near
ness of the horror, at our very doors
even. cannot but be regarded with appre-
hensiOn.
Among the survivors are eight passen-
"ers from the steamer Roraima,, all Of
the rest having persisted when the vessel
went down. They are horribly burned
with molten lava that fell on the steamer
in showers. The Roraima's survivors
say that there had been earthquake
shocks for days, and that the volcano
was sending up clouds of steam and ashes
for some time. The great disaster did
not come until Thursday morning, May 8.

From the crater of Mount Pelee the

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1902-05-17

Sailors on the different vessels, crazed
by fear and suffering, leaped into the
sea in vain endeavor to escape the pitt
less rain of fire; but Of all that took
refuge in the water only thirty were
picked up by the boats lowered by the
cruiser Suchet which arrived after the
explosion of the volcano.
From the number of dead bodies seen
on the wharves, which completely encir-
Gle the water front of st. Pierre, it is
believed that when the rain of fire be-
gan to descend upon the city from Mount
Pelee the inhabitants rushed to the
shore, hoping to escape death by taking
to the sea. But everything in the shape
of a boat must have been consumed in
the flames, and the unfortunate people
persisted on the spot they had sought for
refuge.
The water in st. Pierre harbor is so
deep that ocean vessels of the deepest
draft are able to discharge cargoes di-
rectly on the wharves. This being the
case, many who sought refuge in the
water are believed to have been drown
ed.
City Fiery Furnace.
According to eye witnesses the whole
of st. Pierre seemed suddenly to become
a fiery furnace while awful shreks of
agony rose in an instant from thousands
of victims wrapped in liquid flame, and
then there was no further noise except
the cracking Of burning buildings and
the roar of the volcano. There was no
time for those alive to look back. If par
ent or child was behind it was left in
the wild rush to escape what seemed the
opening of hell upon earth, and Of those
who sought escape many We're stricken
by bolts of quivering flame which came
down apart from the general mass.
1t was evident that most of them had
not been merely suffocated, but burned
to death in a lake of fire precipitated
upon them. The corpses showed signs
of terrible agony. While the streets

the officers and engineers were dead or

OF the crew of the Roddam jumped over
board at St. Pierre and We're lost.
At 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, when
the Suchet sailed away to carry the news
of the disaster to the nearest cable office
ard to get assistance, the town OF St.
Pierre was enc mass of roaring fame.
The first eruption from Mount Pelee
came Saturday, accompanied by a series
of earthquake shocks. The cable lines
were destroyed early in the week, but the
Inhabitants of neighboring islands heard
the reverberations from frequent eNplO-
sions. Still the inhabitants of st. Pierre
took no alarm, and only a few of the
white people of means left the city for
safer places down the coast.
Comes Without Warning.
The eliminating disaster seems to have
come without warning. There was an
explosion. which threw an immense vol
ume Of molten rock dust, ashes and
black smoke thousands of feet into the
air. Then. almost instantly, the rain of
fire descended upon the city. The show
er of lava and ashes extended for hVe
miles out to sea and presumably as far
inland. Ships in the harbor were tossed
and pitched about by the upheaval accom-
panying the explosion, and most of them
were shattered into wreckage. Those
not destroyed in this manner We're almost
instantly set on fire by the burning lava,
from which there was no escape.
