Signal Corps Makes Record With
Small Instrument on Cable ship.
MESSAGES Received At THE FORT
Communication Between the Steamer
Joseph Henry and signal Station at
Old Point Established at Distance
of More Than 100 Miles.

Official reports of the test OF wire
less telegraphy instruments recently
conducted by the signal station al
Fort Monroe and the new mine-lay-
ing steamer Joseph Henry show 'ha'
a new record for long distance com
munication with the use of the signai
CORPS small box instrument with only
sixteen volts and five ampers was es-
tablished by the ship and the station.
This small transmitter set was USED
until the cable ship was more than
one hundred miles away from Fort
Monroe and but for static interior
ence communication probably would
have been established at an even
longer range.
The Joseph Henry was sent our
from Fort Monroe for the purpose OF
making tests with the wireless appara-
tus. The vessel had orders TO cal
the Fort Monroe signal station every
half hour until out OF reach OF signals
and to use the signal corps small box
instrument at first
After the ship got out Of the range
of communication. the baby instru-
ment was disconnected on the Joseph
Henry and replaced by an instru-
ment OF larger capacity. lhls HseTu
mept was last heard at distance OF
1870 miles at sea. Considering the fact
that the Henry is small boat, this
record is considered by the signal
corps to be a most excellent one.
The excellent results of these tests
depended in large measure upon the
skill of the operators and engineers.
First Lieutenant A. j. Moss, of the
signal corps; Sergeant A. c. Schof. OF
the signal corps. were operating on the
Joseph Henry, while First Class Ser
geant E n Reeves, operator IN
charge; Corporal A. J. Dawner. OF the
signal corps. and J. w Chapman, A
c.. were operating at the Fort Mon
roe signal station.
The instruments under test were
designed by the signal corps.

Local Player Takes Offense AT
Decision and WaII0ps the
Indicator Man

Along with a good, snappy game
yesterday at the Grove street park
the spectators Were treated to brief
Donnybrook row. which would have
lasted longer II several of the civilized
ball players had not interfered. The
trouble was caused by Pitcher George
Cooper taking offense at a decision
rendered by Umpire Nissen. Cooper
gracefully lifted the umpire's mask
from his face and shot his valuable
left into Nissen's physiognomy. There
were splendid chances for a good
rough and tumble bout but for the
interference of the players. Cooper
was banished from the game and Presi-
dent Herman fined him $40 for the
offense.
The game, which was closely con-
tested. was taken by the Sand Crabs
by a score OF to 3 Hopkins was on
the firing line for the sea beach bunch.
and he worked with all steam on.

SENATORS GET IN
RIGHT AT THE
OUTSET
Christian Forces the Winnino
Run Home With Two
Down i'm the Third

The usual brand of tight baseball
that has been on the Cards since the
present series began prevailed again
yesterday afternoon. and the only diff
ference was that the Senators were on
the winning end of the combination.
they outbatted and outfelded the
Commuters and outran them on the
paths. They deserved to win. but the
victory was anything save certainty
until the last man had been called out.
Inc oaks We're ever dangerous, espe-
cially when they did not figure to be.
but Invariably they failed to keep the
good work up when things were break

Charley Baum did the twisting for
Sacramento and he showed to adyan-

for their lonely run. Baum had a nice
assortment of twisters and he worked
Except for nice steal of second
which Cameron made Baum would have
made il a clean blank.
The Senator'S waded into the going
in the opening inning. With Doyle on
first and one down, Shinn hit an infield
fly, but Doyle started for second instead
of holding his base. He was forced
out. Gandil took healthy swing at
the next one and dispatched it over
Duffey Lewis head for a fine triple,
the longest hit of the game. This
chased Shinn through and gave the
Senators the lead.
The Senators landed their second

saving Oakland's honor. 1t might
have been a tie right there. but McCay

The game was played in honr
and a half and it was replete with
god, heady baseball. calculated to
make the fans sit up and notice what
was being pulled off. The work of
the infields of both teams was snappy
and many a safe looking hit was cut
