FORD IN FINE FORM.

Fresh from victory over Chicago and a fourteen inning tie with Michi- gan, Williams kept up her onward march towards the American baseball championship by taking Yale into camp yesterday afternoon by the score of 5 to 1. Yale, as in the Holy Cross game last Saturday played a ragged game, Captain Kinney being the chief offender making three costly errors, while Chapin muffed ridiculously easy fly in the eighth inning, one of the Williams men scoring and the oth- CT going to second Jones caught an excellent game and getting several hard fouls and also getting two hits, one of them three bagger. This vas in the ninth inning with two out but he was unable to score. It was 8 pitchers battle Ford having slightly the better of the argument, although not one of Williams five runs were earned
 Williams tallied twice in the second inning, Warren taking first on Kin ney's high throw to first, and Harman getting $ lift when Sweeney slipped in fielding a bunt Lewis sacrificed and Ostcrhout scored both men with a timely single to center.
 Yale's only run was scored in the third Inning on Williams single to cen ter which Warren allowed to pass him, Williams taking third and scoring on Meyers fly

Young led off by walking to the first station, Waters sacrificed and Young scored when Chapin squarely muffed Warren's easy fly. Warren scored on singles by Harman and Lewis.
 In the third, after Chapin had walked and had reached third on Clifford's single. Clifford stole second and Chap in shot home on the throw but Wads- worth had the ball home from second in time to head him off and Waters whipped it over to third in time to catch Clifford who tried to steal on the out.
 Yale did not make hit after the second inning until Jones' three -bagger in the ninth.
 Wadsworth and Harman contributed to the interest in the game by making pretty double play in the eighth inn ing. Meyers walked to first and Chap in hit hot grounder to Wadsworth, the latter tagging Meyers as he was running to second and then tossed the ball to Harman completing the double.

 The accurate driving of Butterworth was one of the leading features of the game. H. Drury played all around any ons on either team. making six goals. He also blocked many drives by tho opposing sias.
 Drury $ an Englishman and haa quite reputation as polo player In his native country He came here about year ago and thinking he was losing his skill went south and prac- tised all winter.
 J. w. Webb for New Haven played a good game. Dixon followed the ball too closely and missed several opportu- mites for drives.
 The star game for Rockawav was played by R. LaMontague. He was skillful both at blocking and driving. Rockawav expected to win and was sorely surprised and disappointed.
 New Haven was fully as well motnt- ed as Rookawav. and the ponies seem ed to have more s2ssd. The New Hn- ven players were superior, man for man, but crowded each other too much and did not string out
 Rockeway in the early part of the game ruined several good chances to score The Roclzaway team at first be- wildered the New Haven players, who seemed to no asleep until they really settled down te the game

THE TWO ORPHANS.
Time Tried Melodrama Once More at
 the Hyperion,

Time Tried Yokohama Once More at
 the Hyperion
 The well known melodrama "The Two Orphans" came to the Hyperion last night and played to fair sized au- dience. Written originally in French, this play has been on the boards in America continuously since 1873. It would not be going too far to place it with Uncle Toms Cabin in It's wear ing qualities. If some one were dig ging up the history of melodrama in America he would have to take 'The Two Orphans as sort of foundation It was this play. too, which was play ing at the Brooklyn theater at the time of the disastrous fire of the seventies. Because of its history at least "The Two Orphans" is worth attention, If there are classics in melodrama this play deserves the title.
 The story of the play is pretty well known. The suffering of the orphans. Henrietta and Louise, Is that kind which is peculiar to melodrama, the keenest mental suffering combined with the sharpest physical. anguish. All things are exaggerated and there is much false pathos. But "The Two Orphans" claims to be melodrama and by that test of survival 1t is good melo- drama. The company last night was strcng only in the principal characters. Jessamine Wood as Louisa heads the cast and played the melodramatic her. oine about as realistically as such a heroine can be played.
