Able to Beat Crimson on Com
mencement Day.

NEW HAVEN, June 29.-Before a
throng of 5000 persons yesterday. the
crimson of Harvard was trailed in the
dust by Yale at baseball. The game was
fast and replete with good plays. All
the Yale graduates last night paraded
behind their respective bands, celebrat-
ing the first commencement victory over
Harvard in four years.
There were Indians in full war paint
clowns in blue and white, sailors in oil
skins. Uncle Sans, old-fashioned gentle
men in drab busters and bell-crowned
hats. and automobile drivers with horns
and goggles. After the game all the
graduates tumbled on the field and zig

Plank in Fine Form.

For some reason the Senators have
taken a decided brace in the past three
or four days. and showed the effects
yesterday. Everybody played fast. snap
py ball, and the exhibition of fielding
was most gratifying.
Plank allowed only three hits. but one
OF them was the double by Cassidy that
brought COughlin home in the first in
ming. Two hits were made in that
round. After that the hit column was
bare except in the sixth when Cassidy
made a scratchy little thing Of no con-
sequence and got caught stealing.

IN VERY TRUTH
SENATORS Won
Gentle Reader May Smoke
His Pipe in Peace.
NO SAD AWAKENING COMES
They Really Had Piece of Good Luck
and Beat the Athletics-Hats
OFF to Patten.
Washington, 2; Athletics, I.

Sh. not a word, Don't talk loud. You
might wake up and find it all dream
that weirdly pleasant vision of the en-
blem of victory floating over the tent
OF the Senators.
In very truth it does seem strange that
such miracles could be possible in this
material age, for the telling of the tala
much resembles some old wives fable
and the hearer is ever expecting to hear
tremulo music and see the dissolving
effects Of a stage recital about the super
natural.
Smoke Away.
But let the gentle reader smoke his
pipe in peace, for there is no real chance
of his awakening and finding it all a
delusion unless the game is protested,
which would not be surprising, the way
things have been going. The protest
might be based on the charge of unfair
ness in the weak-batting Senators tax
ing a game from swattists like the
Athletics. as they did yesterday by 2
to l.
The dream was made possible by the
pitching Of Case Patten, who was all the
goods all the time, and never let up in
his good work. In the fifth inning Sey-
10 short, NJ. Cross singled Seybold to
secondhand that was all. Powers flied
and Plank famed.
Exciting Ninth.
The ninth inning again saw two hits.
TO say nothing of a pass, and there was
not a man at the grounds who thought
the Athletics would fail to get the ty-
ing run. The spectators were as pessi-
mistic as the Delaw are peach crop liars.
for one run had been made in that in
ming and three were on bases, but Pow
ers popped a fly, and the dream be-
gan.
The hoodoo was as plentiful to the
vision as street lamps after class re-
union banquet WREN Moran opened up
fielding operations IN the ninth by
throwing Bruce's sizzler into the bleach
ers and allowing the Indian TO score
That was before a man was out. and
then came the hits and pass. but Dame

Fortunes Favors.
In fact, the tickle dame was a great
help to the Senators. Their winning run
came in the eighth inning. through her
gracious favor. when Bill Clarke got a
soak in the ribs that Will make them
tender for some days to come. Patten
sacrificed. and Seybold drew away from
Plank's throw. The ball hit the bleach
or fence and Clarke hurried TO third in
the excitement. Plank was bored by
the error behind him and to show it
made a wild pitch Powers stopped the
ball. but when it rolled away from
him he could not fnd II. Clarke put
on steam ana pulled home and the day
was won

MORPHINE SET SILvERMAN
TO RAvING.
SICK man PICKED UP
Is Giving the Hospital
Lots of Trouble.

Michael Silverman, the Cleveland
man who was picked up by the police
Sunday night suffering from periton-
tits, has proven troublesome patient
at the hospital. When the morphine
which was given him to allay the pain
began to get in its work instead of
quieting him set the man wild and he
has been raving ever since. Yesterday
he got up and left the hospital, the
nurses not being able to restrain him,
and he was picked up by Oaicer Bour
and taken back to the Institution.
Last evening the matron of the hos
pital called up. police headquarters and
asked that the man be removed, as
they could do nothing with him. The
officers had no place to care for him
and the request was not complied with.
An effort will be made to have the
probate court pass upon his case In
order to get him into the Massillon
asylum.
Up until the time that the opiates
were given him, Silverman was per-
tectly rational. but he has been wild
ever since. He continues to moan and
cry with pain and begs to be sent to
his mother. No word has been had
frcm his Cleveland relatives.

FIRE IN FORTRESS
Gave Panama Garrison a
Hot Time.

Panama, June 27.--A fire which
broke out in the barracks of the Chi
riqui garrison today spread to the un-
derground store rooms and for a time
bafiied the best efforts of the firemen
to extinguish it. Owing to the scanty
water supply and the inaccesslbility
of the fortress it was impossible to do
other than to attempt to hold the
blaze by means of bucket brigade.
This latter, however, did good work in
keeping the fire from the magazines
but was unable to do much toward
flooding the store-rooms which even
tually had to be done TO put the fire
out.
The garrison turned to and carried
out the powder from the magazines
to place of safety During this work
many individual acts of heorism were
reported as in some cases the wooden
cases were smoking from the intense
heat when carried into the open air.
There was a panic among the towns
people while the fire was in progress
ewing to the fear of an explosion and
all persons residing in the immediate
vicinity of the fort abandoned their
homes and fastened to place of safe
