X. Parker, a young man living in Somer-
vile, n. j., came to the house. j.. He has
been calling on Mrs. Thatcher's twenty

Thatcher called to them: BE sure and
get home at half-past s."

time said the daughter last night and
none of us has been able to cheer her up,
She has been suffering from some nervous
affection and was under the care of a
specialist Only last thursday she sud-
denly turned to me and said:
Mary, If anything happens to me, you
will find $40 in the bureau drawer and also
receipt for my safe deposit vault, where
my will and jewelry are kept
Nothing but insanity can explain 1t,
said young Parker. Mrs. Thatcher's uncle
left her $4,000 only two months ago. She
and Mr.. Thatcher were greatly attached
to one another.
Mr.. Thatcher has been very anxious for
his wife to join him In the West, and was
to help her pack up tomorrow. She had
arranged for her daughters board in one

Yesterday afternoon at Chicago the Sena-
tors were confronted once more with one
run defeat, the White Sox being the vic
tors, by the score of to 3. 1t is certainly
remarkable the number of games the Wash
ipgtons have lost by this one lonesome
tally.
Jacobsen was on the rubber for the Sen
ators yesterday and for five innings he
worked with unusual effectiveness. not
run going up to the Chicagos credit. In
the last three innings Jacobsen weakened
very perceptibly and his round house curves
were batted almost at will.
Back Of Jacobsen the Senators put up a
fast fielding game, but one error tumble
by Hill, being charged against them. The
in and outfields did nicely. Huelsman rob-
blng Green of a home run by splendid
catch of the latter's line drive to left CEN
tee.
Nick Altrock began twirling for Chicago.
but after the Senators had garnered seven
hits for three runs he chased to the
bench by Manager Jones and the stalwart
Irish lad, Eddie Walsh, took up the rum
ming. Walsh pitched five innings and in
that time the Senators could make nothing
that even family resembled hit. Manager
Jones. after retiring Altrock. got very chip
per with Umpire Connolly over a decision
at second base and kept persistently at
it that he was ordered out of the game
Harry White taking his place in center
field.
Neither side scored in the first inning but
i'll the second the Senators got one man
over the rubber. Mil. the new Senator
started off with clean single and went to
third on Cassidy's single to right. Manager
Donovan had chance to size up Nils
speed as he beat Green's throw to third by
a block Altrock then very obligingly made
wild pitch and Mil easily scored
In the third the Senators scored two runs
their last of the game. O'Neill started off
with neat single over second and reached
second on Hills out at first. Jake Stahl
then drove out a sizzling triple and o. Neill
scored without any trouble. Huelsman fol-
lowed with line single into left and Stahl
raced home
The Chicegos got busy in the sixth. scor-
ing their first run on Green's single, an out
and steal and wild pitch by Jacobsen.
In the seventh they got one more on Is
bells double and a single by Dundon In
the eighth the Chicagos hung up two runs
and won the game. White singled and went

and White scored. Sullivan got a single

Yale began her schedule of games yester-
day by beating Wesleyan, % to O. Last
year the Blue beat Wesleyan 80 to 0. meet
ing the Methodists after she had had two
weeks more of practice than this year. Yale
showed sustained power in attack yester-
day. which was an encouraging sign. and
the defense was good enough to repulse
the Wesleyan assaults Conspicuous faults
OF the Ellis were poor handling of the bali
and loose play. Several of the best line
men did not play. Princeton scored only
two touchdowns against Dickinson. but for
all that the chief criticism of the Tigers
play had to do. not with the offensive, but
the defensive work. The offense showed
speed and organization, but the defense
was very faulty and permitted Dickinson
to hang on to the ball for stretches of time
that deprived the Jerseymen of time in
which to score more. The new aterial was
made use of and sized up.
Cornell beat Colgate II to o in game
that was more encouraging than discourag-
ing to the Ithacans prospects. There was
dash and spirit in the game. Pennsylvania
