SENSATIONAL PLAYS MADE.
W. Johnston Slammed Out Two Homer'
and Stuart and Mute Starred.

Although the hairs on his pate are
diminishing with age, Charles II. Dudley
of Hanover, \. H., is still in posses
sion of gray matter that would make
Wall street fnanciers look on him with
hnyy. The sporting goods man from
New Hampshire introduced yesterday on
the seminary campus a novel scheme OF
advertising. Every man on the Ham
over Independents, which club is man,
aged by the veteran ball player, was
decked out in a handsome white suit.
Across the breasts of the players was
inscribed the name of the man who con-
trolls the largest house for athletic sup
plies in northern New England
The morning game was played mostly
in a drizzle of rain. 1t was one OF the
finest contested games seen on the camp
us this season, and play after play was
pulled off that kept the 800 spectators
on their feet throughout the entire nine
innings Washburn, the old Norwich
twirler, was delivering an assortment of
spitters for "Dud's' team that the Barre
lads found hard to meet. Jack John
son, the Goddard pitcher, was on the
mound for the local team and held the
collegians to four scattered hits. The
hitting of w. Johnston, who slammed
out two homers that counted four runs,
and the fielding of Stuart and Mute were
the features of the game. The Spauld-
ing captain played a wonderful game at
second, making several sensational stops.
The score:

for play, sawdust being used to cover the
watery spots.
The visitors were unable to fathom
the slants of Batoni the young slabster
OF the local aggregation, only two hits
being made by them. The presence OF
Paul Seampini inculeated great life in
the Italian team. Scampini was the
heavy sticker of the day, having per-
feet batting average Witt and Calcagni
also stung the ball in fine shape, each
connecting for three safeties. The score:

GAME STOPPED BY RAIN.
Second B. A. c. VS.. Hanover Encounter
Ended in a Tie

The afternoon contest was called dur
ing the sixth inning on account OF the
downpour of rain. The Barre team
scored in the second inning and the visit
ing club in the fourth. r. Johnston reg
istered the local clubs run when he
reached first base on dropped third
strike, and, after pilfering second, scored
on McKenzie's clean hit. The Hanover
team counted in the fourth, when r..
Johnston's error allowed Roland to slip
in from second. The afternoon contest
was replete with brilliant plays, Will
liam Stuart against furnishing the head
line fielding stunts. Carrick, the old Rut-
land high school southpaw held the col
lege sluggers well in hand all through.
He was touched up for four hits. Weir
was on the firing line for the New
Hampshire outfit and pitched masterful
ball all the way. The score:

Marvels of the Last Decade,
Succumbs to Typhoid.

Dayton, O., May 3l.-Wilbur Wright,
the famous aviator, died at his home IN
Dayton at 3;I5 o'clock yesterday morn
inc. Death was due to a relapse from
typhoid fever, following an illness OF
several weeks.
At his bedside were his venerable Ia
Their. Bishop Wright, OF the Church OF
the United Brethren in Christ, as wen
as his sister. Miss Katherine Wright, and
his brothers, 0rville, Lorin and Reusch-
lin. Dir. d. B. Conklin also was present
when the end came.
The family had been encouraged when
the crisis of the fever passed day or
two ago, but the physicians at no time
gave hope OF recovery Wednesday even
ing the fever was succeeded by chill.
At midnight the sufferer begar to sink
rapidly.
Mr.. Wright died peacefully just before
dawn. The end followed the first slight
rally from the unconscious condition IN
which Wright had lain. 1t was only
Wednesday that the physicians attempt
ed for the first time in some days 60
give him nourishment.
0rville Wright, four years his junior,
who. with Wilbur, shared the work and
the honors OF Americas pioneers OF the
air, was at his brothers side through
out his losing battle for life.
Both 0rville and his sister, Miss
Wright, received messages of inquiry
and sympathy from all over the world
in the DAYS since it became known that
Wilbur's death was only a matter OF
hours.

In the line of stability device, it
is believed they have been equally sue
cessful. However, years OF ridicule from
their neighbors in Dayton taught the
Wright brothers the utmost reticence
as to their plans and accomplishments,
and until device is perfected, they had
determined not to give it to the world.

that suburbs are fast becoming the
