Hundreds of Persons Are Homeless.
 Loss, $3OO,OOO.
 ENID, Okla, May 25.-Hundreds of persons were rendered homeless and property damage to the extent of $30O,- GOO was done in the Enid bottoms alone by a cloudburst that struck west of this city at midnight. The ag- gregate damage will probably be much higher on account of the losses sus- tained between Epid and the seat of the storm. A bank of water three feet high and 200 feet wide swept down through the bottoms, carrying houses and everything before it.
 It came upon Enid without warning while most of it's citizens were asleep. Within few minutes a hundred houses were partly or completely sub merged. Rescuers went to work i'm mediately and all night labored to save persons from perilous positions. Many lost everything they possessed. The means for relieving distress are inadequate.
 The rainfall during the past ten days has been the heaviest in the his tory of Oklahoma, and indications are that more will follow. Reports of losses in the country west of Enid are meager, but 1t is believed that heavy damage was done.
 Early Sunday Guthrie was visited by another deluge, making the twenty fourth consecutive day of rain.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS.
Waterbury. High Defeats New Britain
 By Large Score.

Waterbury. High Defeats New Britain
 By Large Score.
 Tn game characterized by heavy hitting on the part of the Waterbury team and loose fielding by the New Britain team, Waterbury High school defeated New Britain High school at New Britain Saturday by the score of 19 to i. The local team played with snap and vim from beginning to end and won entirely through the fact that they totally outclassed their opponents at all points of the game. Dawson, the pitcher for the local team, proved a perfect puzzle to the hitherto heavy batters of the New Britain team, let ting them down with four hits. New Britains only run was scored in the seventh inning and the only thing that saved them from shutout was an er TOT by Spellman, which, however, was excusable on account of the fact that the score was in no way close. Wa terbury commenced the scoring in the first inning. McGowan started things going by a single and reached third on Kenyon's hit. Daily scored McGowan and Kenyon by clean single. The next two men up went out on infield uFLS, uuU WILL IW0 1iOh UT OdSCS A. Dawson cracked out a single making the score Waterbury 4, New Britain 0. From this inning it was nothing less than batting matinee for Wa terbury and comedy of fielding errors for New Britain. Tn the seventh ill., ming the local boys landed on the New Britain twirler for keeps, making ten hits and six runs. The whole team batted heavily but most of the credit is due to R. Dawson, Spain, Spellman, Daily and Kenyon. Tn the field prac- tically errorless game was played, as Spellman's huff of 8 third strike did not materially affect the score. The conduct of all the members of the team was very highly commendable and nothing may be said to have been a better feature of the game than the ab- sence of kicking by the local team. New Britain however, protested some of the decisions of the umpire, Frank Halloren, so that Captain Dawson, in order to prevent further disturbance, decided that it would be best to remove him. Following is the score by in- nings:

SATURDAY. COLLEGE GAMES.

 Cambridge, Mass, May 25. The mos exciting ball game ever played on ths Harvard diamond was won by Prince ton by the score of to 5 Saturday af, ternoon. Never was there an act o1 melodrama equal in genuine thrill tc the moment when fire Ieaped in tongues from the central grand stand. The fire probably was started by small boys and it was discovered by the ushers al the beginning of the eighth inning Half of the crowd had just got out of harms way when a big volume ot smoke poured forth, and in d moment the whole wooden stand was gigan- tic bonfire. Eight thousand persons then poured down on to the diamond in good order and no one was injured
 A heavy north wind blew the flames away from the diamond. For half an hour the crowds watched the burn ing of the stand and of some barns near by. Before the fire engines ar rived the entire center stand was burned down, but the side stands, be- ing of iron. were saved Captain Clarkson and his men of the Harvard team aided in dragging the hose and fighting the fire.
 Big clouds of smoke were still circ- ling around when the baseball game was resumed. Harvard then proceed ed to stampede Princeton, making five runs ill the eighth. Clarkson shut out the Tigers in the ninth, and then. amid a tremendous pandemonium of cheers, just as in the eighth, the crowd de- manded the two runs that meant vic- tory. Coolidge and Matthews got their bases, and it looked as if there would be sure score when, on a slow grounder Randall was put out at first and Coolidge doubled up at the plate. With Matthews on second CIarkson came to the bat. but Stevens disposed of him with q slow ball.
 Harvard scored only in the eighth inning and her other work at the bat was exceedingly weak. Princeton fielded we'll, batted we'll and timely, and was aided in scoring by Harvard s errors.
 The fire was the first on Soldiers field. The damage amounted to $2,- 900. The score:
 RH.E. Princeton ....1 2 i 0 2 o o o--6 : Harvard .... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 O-5 8

With two visitors out in the ninth and men on first and second Standard made a hit which was good for the circuit, and Holy Cross would have had the game, 5 to 2. Noonan however, who was on first base, failed to touch second and was declared out. The score:

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.

Some Exciting Games Played at the
 Opening of the Season on Saturday.
 There were two games of ball at the Driving park on Saturday afternoon, and there was plenty of excitement for those who attended. The first game was played between the St Josephs and the Pastimes. The batting was not heavy and both pitchers did goodwork. Moran had the better of the argument, however and held the hits we'll scat tered. The errors on each side were the same in number, but those of the Pastimes were more costly. The St Josephs cinched the game in the sixth inning when six runners crossed the plate, The score:

 Batteries-Morar and Loughlin and Cavanaugh; Ashcroft and White; un1- pire, Maloney.
 The second game attracted probably the most attention because it was fought out between the Washington Hills and the North Ends. There was bitter rivalry in the game, too, because Manager Thompson of the North EndS was the former manager of the Wash ington Hills. George Mulligan, who has been elected manager and captain of the Washington Hills, was on the first bag for his team and he kept the boys on the move right from the start, The Washington Hills went after the game from the start and there were enough errors made by the North Ends to take the heart out of any pitcher. Bates pitched we'll, but his catcher could not hold him, and the balls that were batted to the intield were fun1- bled by about all the players. In the first inning Washington Hill scored nine times, the most of them on errors. The North Ends scored two in the third and the Hills went them one bet ter in the fourth. They made two more in the fifth and the score re- mained 14 to 2 until the seventh, when the Washington Hills went into the air and the North Ends scored nine times. Not to be outdone the Hill boys pounded iii five more runs In the eighth. This lead the players from the North End could not overcome. The score shows the great number of errors made cn each side The score:
 Second Game.
