Further Showers Are
Forecast for Tonight

More showers this afternoon and to-
night and continued cool weather are
promised by the weather man. The
heavy shower which fell this morning
came at a time when thousands Of
Government employees and others were
on the streets in the business section,
and sent them scurrying in all directions
to seek shelter. Corner drug stores be-
came popular. and many others took
refuge under awnings and in the cor
ridors of ods1ce buildings.

the Gulf coast early in the week 1t il

Philadelphia Wins Again
With Aid of Cravath
Special to The Telegraph

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 15.-"Babe"
Adams withstood the furious fusillade
of the Philadelphia sticks for just
two and one-third innings yesterday
and then the Phils made 1t three
straight over the Pirates and pun
meled their way to their seventh con-
secutive victory by a score of to 3.
Cravath, the California clubber, per-
sonally conducted the winning tally,
when, with the score tied at three all
and one down in the third inning, he
clouted one a ferocious smack on the
jib and drove the ball far over the
left-feld fence for his twenty second
home run of the season. This is but
the third time in the history of ForSes
Field that the ball has been driven
over the left field fence here, Sher-
wood Magee and Honus Wagner being
the only ball players, in addition 20
Cravath, who have performed this
feat. The Cravath wallop that won
yesterdays battle for the Quakers es-
tablishes a new record for home runs
in a single season since the National
and American league got together.

Bara in the leading role and Jean
Sothern and william Shay in strong
acting parts, the cast of principals
could hardly be stronger. Few there
are who do not know the story of The
Two Orphans" but it will bear re-
telling briefly. Henriette and Louise
are orphans in France. The girls are

beautiful; Louise equally fair, is blind.
A rascally pander has intercepted the
letter and meets them, to deliver them
into the hands of a marquis. Hen
riette is drugged and carried away
while the blind girl cries pitifully for
Eer. Pierre hears her cries and takes
her to the home of his mother, who
forces her to sing in the streets while
she and her elder son drink and make
merry. While Louise drags out a
wretched existence Henriette's free
dom is schemed by the heroic Cheva-
lier de Naudrey, who pities Henriette' 5
plight and resCues her. Louise is not
the sister of Henriette, but the daugh-
ter of Countess de Vaudrey. The

tInuous to-day and tomorrow from

feated Grant A Peacock, of Prince

over the links of the Greenwich

The defeat of the Princeton man
by this wide margin furnished the
climax of a series of surprises, for
after Peacock had disposed of John
Marshall, Jr., it was considered that
he would have little difficulty in win
ing the crown.
Peacock was usually the longer off

called long driver. but the Yale man
simply outclassed his opponent in the
