HIGH SCHOOL SWAMpEp.

Before large crowd Saturday after
noon the New Haven high school base
ball team played It's first game and re-
ceived Its first defeat Of the season, be-
Ing completely swampcd by the Yale
freshman nine to the tune Of % to 1.
The game was altogether one-slded but
interesting, In that 1t showed how
many errors the local high school play
ers could make In a given time. They
did very well, making twelve.
The Yale team on making 10 runs in
the first three innings, decided to give
their subs show. Even with their sub
stltutes, the whole nine men received a
chance to bat around In many of the
innings They seemd to hit at will, and
always made good when men were on
bases. Capt. Riley and Daley each
made a home run, the latter accom-
plishing 1t with the bases full. Besides
these two hits sixteen others were
made, one being a three-bagger by
Goodwin the first basemen Of the
freshman.
Flanagan, who was the only one TO
cross the plate for the local high. made
first base on a wild throw from the
Yale second baseman to first. Taking
advantage of this he got two more
bases, landing on third. W. Carroll
then got a opportunte single. bringing
In Flanagan. This was tho only time
that the local high had look-in.

FOR INCURABLEs.
Rev DR.. Sheath Favors Former Rath
or Than Contagious Disease.

Rcv. Isaiah w Sheath, in an inter-
view with reporter of The Journal
Courier last night, spoke regarding the
matter of a contagious disease hospi-
tai. saying that the city doubtless needs
one but that a hospital or home for In
durable patients Is even more needed.
DR.. Sheath said:
There may be a need for a cons
tagious disease hospital in the city of

one 1t is q fact, however that fair
number of citizens, and among them
members Of the medical fraternity,
who do not see the real necessity for
such an institution. In this connection
1t may be PROPER to say that the city
of Cambridge, Mass, has small one
and has 1t on the grounds of the city
| hospital. What | do believe this city
needs much more Is a hospital or home
for incurable patients. There are any
number of chronic cases Of sickness
which need intelligent care to make
! them comfortable. A hospital with
modern methods and appliances to this
end Is necessity in any large city
| Such an institution proves a means OF
needed relief to many a laborer's home
and ut a much reduced expense In this
same city already referred to in this
article, there exists such a home. II

noble veteran Of the cause Of No III

years ago passed to his reward, He
named the institution the Holy Ghosi
Hospital for Incurables, and 1t is {
worthy monument to the Holy Ghos

Cambridge. Hundreds OF incurablc pa
tents have found in this home a place
for comfort and peace during theil
days Of struggle with an incurable Us

work of visitation wishes that there
was such a home for incurables In thi
city. / thank you for the courtesy o
your paper in giving me an opportuni
ty to make an appeal for such home.
