DOWNING STREETS SHOWS
 ENTERPRISE OF AMERICA

London, June 7.-Downing street, which is a household word in English politics because it contains the official residence of the Prime Minister, af- fords one of the earliest examples of American enterprise in London.
 It is a narrow lane leading from the medley of government offices in White hall. Constructed in the 18th cen tury, it was sold by Charles II. to Sir George Downing, afterwards Secre- tary of the Treasury. Downing was born in America and educated al. liar ward University. With American en- terprise, he determined to build on his newly acquired property, and he erected there the first brick houses of importance in the metropolis.
 Number 10 Downing street, which is now the heart of the British govern mental system, was purchased from Downing's grandson in 1734 by Baron Bothmar, and passed to tie Grown when the Baron died intestate. Soon afterward George II. offered it to Wal pole, who refused it as a. personal gift, but accepted it es an official residence for the Prime Minister.

YALE MEN LOSE

The best game at t1Seaside park this season was that played yesterday af- ternoon between a nine made up of Yale men and the local Y M C. A. team. The former included some of Ya1e's crack players. but had a weak outde1d and suffered thereby They fell down mainly, however, because they could do nothing with the pitch ing of Attorney Jesse Stewart, getting only one hit. off his delivery The score was 5 to in favor of the home team.
 The game had some diverting feat ures The veteran, O'Rourkes who caught for the winners, was twice caught mapping at second by the same trick. The Yale catcher, who is a very quick thrower, would snap the ball, to third in an apparent effort to catch the base runner there. This was only a ruse, however, as the third baseman without paying any attention to the man at his bag speedily sent the ball to second to catch the runner there. When he had a second time fallen a victim to this device .O'Rourke looked sheepish, but he evened matters by afterwards working it successfully on two Yale men. Big George Sanford, the runner and ath- Iete covered first base for the Ellis.
