WILLIAMS BEATS DARTMOUTH
Sensational Game Played at Williams
town--Great Work by Mills

Williamstown, Mass, May 15.-No
such scene of wild enthusiasm was
ever witnessed in Weston field here
as took place Saturday afternoon,
when, by a most powerful bit of bat
ting, Williams snatched from Dart
mouth a victory that Dartmouth had
already tucked away in its grip ready
for the trip back to New Hampshire,
and trotted off with it to the Jesup
hall trophy room 1t was likewise
the most sensational and most accom-
plished finish of a baseball game that
has been seen at Williamstown in

siast and the name of the star perfor-
mer, Captain Abbott Page Mills of
Pittsfield has gone down In the base
ball annals of the college with those
of other great men before him. And,
lastly it was the most satisfied most
joyous and happiest looking crowd
that ever walked off the Williams
field.
With two men out in the ninth in
Mig, Captain Mills drove the ball
across the running track in right field
and circled the bases, sending home
before him Hodge and Otis and max
ing the required three runs to give
Williams the victory. The scene that
followed was the most enthusiastic
witnessed for many day in a VIII
liams contest. AS Captain Mills came
over the home plate he was met by
three hundred students, who perched
him on their backs and paraded with
him about the field, shouting themsel-
YES hoarse in their great exultation.
Davis was in the box for Williams
at the outset-but he had bad Gay
and was hit frequently and at oppor-
tune times, while his control failed.
Three runs were made off him in the
fifth by base on balls, an error in
| judgment on his part and two hits,
and in the seventh hit and his hit
| ting a batter placed two men on the
bases with only one out. He was
| then taken out and Ayres substituted
and the first batter, Heban, sent out
two-bag hit off Ayres that scored
| both basemen. Dartmouth could not
get another hit off Ayres after that.
Williams tailed first in the seventh
from a three base hit and a single,
and twice in the eighth from a single
two base hit and three Dagger. ks
from passed the first Williams batter
in the ninth, but he was forced out
at second, placing Hodge who batted
for Ayres, on first. Otis hit safely in

and then came Mills long hit into
right for a home run. winning the
game. Both teams fielded a fast

Acquaintance Says Affection Wasted On Mankind That
1.-THE MUSIC MASTER"
BY George Herman In the Baptist
Church Tomorrow Night

Probably no sweeter or nobler char
acter,is before the minds Of the pub
lie today than David Warheld's Mus.
ic Master" Deserted by his wife and
child, he leaves his old home and for
sixteen years patiently searched for
them in the populous city OF New
York, ever bearing up under his adj
versity with courage and gentle dig
nifty. In portraying this character,
Mr.. Herman brings the highest quail
ties Of elocution into play and makes
the Music Master" live before our
eyes. In the second part the music
master becomes the teacher OF his
child, whose mother has died and
whose supposed father has become
wealthy. AN attachment developes
between father and daughter which
the pseudo father resents and threat
ems to interrupt. An understanding is
reached between the two men who
have met in the daughters home and
the daughter finally marries the son
OF a prominent New York family. In
the third part the music master, hav-
ing witnessed his daughters mar
riage, is preparing to leave his friends
with whom he had lived so long for
his old home In Germany when his
daughter having learned his identity
comes to him and begs him to live
with her in her new home The story
furnishes ample opportunity for hui
NOR as well as pathos and Mr.. Kier-
nan makes the two qualities blend
with consummate art
In presenting Mr.. Herman in the
Music Master" the committee in
charge assures the public OF an enter
tainment worth more than the admis-
sion price of fifty cents and which
will give lasting pleasure.

Manager Higgins has solved the
