BIG TREE FALLS IN RAVINE OFF SACHEM STREET Broke Pole and Carried Wires to the Ground—Two Children Narrowly Es- cape. Suddenly, and without the least warning, a large tree situated in the Falls ravine midway between the foot of the wooden steps and Yantic street fell with a resounding crash about 9.30 o'clock Tuesday morning. When the big tree toppled over it fell di- rectly ~ across the wires strung through the ravine and carried them to the ground in a tangled mass. The shock was so sudden and the tension of the wires so great that a pole at the | foot of the ravine was snapped off short and In falling to the ground struck the barn used by the Falls com- pany a glancing blow. Just what caused the tree to fall is not known, but as it was situated on one of the steep sides of the ravine it is thought that the earth slid aw; from the roots, carrving the tree with it. At the time of the accident two en- gaged digging worms for fish bait in the ravine and_they narrowly escaped being struck when the big tree crash- ed down. The authorities were no fled of the accident soon after it hap- pened and the damage was repaired during the day. OBITUARY, Fleming Smith. Fleming Smith died Tuesday at his home in New London. MF.

Murphy was present and extended a brief but cordial welcome to the players who had come from so many diffeffrent cit- les to participate in the tournament President L. C. Williamsc of Wash- ington introduced the mayor, and after the city's Chief executive had given expression to the pleasure it was 1o greet such a fine body of men on com ing to the city, he was handed the mallet of the veteran Charles Jacobu to send the first ball on its way over the sanded court. The mayor suc- cbeded in making the first arch amid applause, and the tournament was de- clared underway. The games of the tournament wi immediately started. On_the f thre division courts were C. . Kir of Philadelphia, playing cobus of Springfield: 1. C. Williamson of Washington, playing W. L. Robin- son of Mansfield, and Loue Stockwell of this city playing . W. Robinson of Mansfleld. Al of these g were full of interesting shots. second division courts were also put into u First Two Games Shutouts. For a number of y ex-President irk and, Prof or acobus have made it a point to be the first to meet, and the honors have always gone to, the Massachusetts man, but this yvear the Philadelphian turned the tables on him and won, and was ol quently elated thereat. Kirk had the added honor of not allowing Jacobus an_arc: In the second division J. D, Miner of Fast Greenwich won the first game, playing it in quick time and scoring & shytout over J. E, Webb of Philadel- phia. J Into First Division. . Toue Stockwel of this city played and worwa game which was supposed to be in the second division, but was then taken out of that division and | placed in the first, and the game that | he played was cancelled. Everett W, Robinson of Mansfleld was another | who was promoted from the second to the first division. These two plavers were then started in a tournament game, which Robinson won, although # handsome Smith had been momentarily expected. | Stockwell made a run the length of the grounds with one ball. In the Evening. In the evening the feailure of the play was the two games won by Cox in convincing style, which entertained the good number of spectators who were on hand. There was music by the Cagdillac orchestra as an accompa- niment for the play and will be on each evening except Friday, when the mu- nicipal band concert is to be given just outside the grounds. Cox first defeat- !ea W. L. Robinson handily and then took on Professor Jacobus for a game. In this Cox was the string and got { first possesion of the balls, but lost | them immediately, when Jacobus made a difficult shot out of an arch where he had been left by Cox in apparent safety. But Jacobus slipped up almost at _once by giving Cox a fraction of a ball, which he could hit and Cox took the game, although Jacobus got past the cage with one ball. “That's like old times, Charli the professor, as C'ox ran out. made one mistake in that didn’t_have a chance to other.” In the second division Adams beat | Ewer in one of the evening games and i Sullivan, one of the Norwich repre- | sentatives, took a game from Prentice which was not concluded until nearly 111 _o'clock. In the first division the concluding game of the evening was between Williamson and Kirk. The balls shift- said I only game. T make, an- times and each had chances to win, but Kirk was finally the victor. Second Van Wickle Medai.

Webb of the arrangement committee announced on Tuesday morning his committee of ref- erees {o settle all discussions about rules of the tournament which might at any time be questioned. These men are C. C. Cox, Malden, Mass., Charles Jacobus, Springfield, and J. C. Kirk of Philadeiphia. - From One Point of View. Annually the game of roque stirs up the funny man on some newspaper staffs. Here i the way the comment runs this year in an exchange: Ever play roque? Have you ever seen nounce it roke) played? Roque i8 no joque; it is a habit. In every city you may find a small body of foques who have the roque fever. Roque is big league croguet. In the 70s, when baseball had gone to the dows, croquet threatened to become our national sport, but nobody woque up to it west of Philadelphia. The demand for the national sport was Imperative. Therc was a natural aversion to cricket, so croquet had the call’ until baseball pulled itself up by its own boot straps and saved the country. Croquet today is plaved by summer | boarders. Roque is ‘the game of moques who first learned to-play cro- | quet—which explains why the number of players is limited. Roque is almost as exciting as chess or tatting, but it is guaranteed not to cause apoplexy. Roque _reqisites are a past of at least half a century: the beard of a patriarch helps and insures quiet. No one wants to start the fireworks ‘when someone’s grandfather is making a carom_ shc Personal equipment consists of a sun helmet, a short handled, long head ed mallet, 'a ball and a sanguine @i | position to help the illusion that one is | having a deuce of a time. |, Roque is played on a level ground from which the sod has been peeled. Wickets are the same as those used in croquet, only narrower. The object is to soque your ball through the wick- ing likewise. The game has its Ty Cobbs and Hans Wagners. Also its Deadwood Ducks judeing from some of the fancy poqu Which every grandfather makes when forced to do So. After a particularly good play, like a home run or a base on balls, the fortunate one emits a cackle of con- tent, while the opposition plaver croques dismally. This is the rooting limit, which 1s another reason why the game never became our national pastime. The American temperament requires an explosion point To the uninitiated, r ular pastime, is a fine sies que, as a pop- tle afternoon SPRINKLERS PUT OUT THERMOS FACTORY FIRE | Blaze Started in Pile of Cases—No Damage to Building. ! A fire which did no damage to the building broke out on Tuesday morn- ing at the Thermos factory in the stock room and an alarm was rung in from box 49, the private Dox at the factory. The department responded, but the heat of the fire had caused the factory sprinklers to operate and with the work of the factory fire force had the blaze under control before the firemen could get there. Secretary Frederick W, Cary said Tuesday evening that they were at a loss to understand what could have started the fire. It had started at the bottom of a lot of carrving cases that had come up from New York and had gone up through the pile like a chim- néy, starting the sprinklers in the room. Nobody was emploved at that end of the room when the fire started. ARRESTED ON STEAMER. Mrs. Marie Crouch Taken Into Custody at New London in Damage Suit.
