The members left the boat house at 3.so In launches headed for Red Top. where a ball game was played between the married and the single men of the club, the teams being explained oy Herbert B. Cary for the married men and by Weston c. Pullen for those who are still single. The married men won out in hotly contested game by max ing a whirlWind finish in the ninth, bringing the score around to 10 to 8 in their favor. The married men from the first inning went after their opponents and obtained the lead at the start. but the single men frightened up and suc- ceeded in pushing over the necessary runs to lead. Then. thinking they had the game on ice. they slackened their pace and when they came to pepper up a bit they found they had lost their pep" and could not respond. Isbister at third was the individual star on the field although his throwing to bases was not as accurate as desired. LeRoy Robbins and Earle c. Mathewson were the mound artists. and both were hit freely.

HuERTA HAS ARRIVED
 AT PUERTO MEXICO
Remained Aboard His Special Train
 Last Night.

Puerto Mexico, July 17.-General Victoriano Huerta. who recently re- signed as provisional president or Mexico. arrived here shortly after by General Blanquet, his minister of war. General Huerta will remain aboard his train tonight.
 When he expects to leave his coun try and share the exile of General Por- forio Diaz. whom he escorted to the coast three years ago. Is yet unknown. except perhaps to himself.
 Captain Kohler of the German cruis- CT Dresden offered him his ship for any use he cared to make of her" but General Huerta merely thanked him, adding that he would return his call tomorrow before noon.
 The trip to this port was without incident or unpleasantness other than that occasioned by the terrible heat of the lowlands. With Huerta and Blanquet were the general staff. The party occupied a train of nine sleeping cars. four of which were given over to troops. Two other trains loaded with troops preceded General Huerta's train and arrived here an hour before the Huerta train. Behind him came another train with soldiers to guard against any rear movements.
 Captain Kohler and staff. in formal dress uniform, were the station and were previously presented to General Huerta- He then thanked the captain for his call and for the offer of his boat. Answering inquiries as to the state of his health General Huerta as- sured the officers that he felt fine. all though somewhat tired and worn from the heat.
 British Vice Consul Gemmill also officially called on Huerta and present. ed him a message presumably an of fer of refuge on the British cruiser Bristol. Huerta read it and expressed pleasure at the consideration being shown him.
 The local officials calling on Gen. eral Huerta tonight were few in mum Der, the only one of importance being General Rincon, commander of the To- cal garrison. Commander Gabriel A CarvaIlo of the Mexican gunboat Ear agoza, with his staff also called. but General Huerta was already weary ot holding receptions and asked to bs excused for the night

 jured at Grade Crossing.

New Canaan, Conn, July 17.-George R. Brown. a contractor. was seriously injured tonight while on his way to his home at Richmond Hill. when his au- tomobile was sideswiped by an express train of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad here. The accident happened at a crossing where the view of the tracks from the road is obstruct- ed. AS he was about to drive on the tracks, the train appeared. Brown swerved his machine quickly and while it did not run on the tracks it was so close that the baggage car of the ex- press struck it and tore of one side, including the forward wheel. Brown was found in the wreck of the machine. He was in the drivers seat, his hands grasping the steering wheel, and his head bent down over it. He was par tially conscious. One leg and one arm were broken and there were numerous cuts about the head and face from which the blood was flowing. His kneecap had been split and a piece of leg bone. gouged by the bent and broken frame of the windshield, was found several feet away.
 Brown was taken to the hospital at Stamford. Internal injuries are fear ed. but this has not been definitely de- termined yet.
