The long-looked-for baseball game be- tween nines from the Coroner’s office and from the art and local staffs of The Call occurred at Natlonal Park yesterday morning, and was won by The Call staff by a score of 18 to 14. The scote would have been much larger, but the wind pow- er of the players gave out and they were | no longer able to make the circuit of the bases. The streets adjoining the park were blocked with teams during the progress of the game. The horses were laughing so0 hard at the attempts of the players to gather in the ball that the drivers were unable to make them proceed. The Morgue wagon was present to carry off the dead, and a full cdrps of Emergency Hospital physicians looked after the in- jured and occaslonally got into the game. All of the players were injured, the most serious being Fred Bishop of The Call, who tore nineteen ligaments endeavoring to get out of the way of a ground ball which stopped some time before it reached him. “Jimmy"” Murphy pitched for the Cor- oner's team, and the succession of hits the newspaper men landed on his curves sounded like a skeleton having a fit on a hardwood floor. Dr. Bacigalupl relieved him for a few minutes, but his speed was so great that the management of the grounds feared for the grand stand, and he was ordered to go 'way back. “‘Spike” Slattery for The Call did great work in left field, and wound up with a fielding average of minus six.

H Professor Goodspeed's discovery was communicated to the American Philo-| sophical Society at a meeting of that | body on Friday night. Photographs taken | by the light from his hand accompanied the paper read by him. He accounts for | the phenomena thus: “All matter absorbs radio-active energy in waves of varying lengths and gives off | |, vaves of a changed The energy that has beer! thus transformed is characteristic of the matter that gives it forth. The hu- | man body gives out the rays or waves of this energy with comparative freedom and force. “It Is to be presumed that the character | of human rays varies in an infinitesimal | degree with the person, and that each| man, woman and child gives forth not| merely characteristic human llght, but light that is absolutely unique and identi- | fying. “These rays of the human body are not this same energy in and definite length. eve. It may be that they are seen by the | eyes of certain of the smaller animals. For instance, a mouse probably sees a man in | a dark room by the light of the man him- | self.” 1 While a Crooke’s tube was used by Pro- | fessor Goodspeed in his experiments, the | X-rays flowing from the tube were not | permitted to flow toward the photographic | plates. The unusual wave disturbance | was absorbed by Professor Goodspeed's | own body, and there transformed into rays by which photographs were made. | — e ———— | AMATEUR THEATRICALS { FOR BRITISH SOCIETY Members of Benevolent Association Will Give Entertainment for Benefit of Order.

An unknown woman was discovered yesterday evening lying on the sidewalk at Baker and Filbert streets suffering from carbolic acid poisoning. The woman had been seen in the company of a sol- dler coming from the locality of the Pre- sidio, but when found there was no trace of her companion or anything at all to give the slightest clew as to her identity.

Lafon- taine, celiberately jumped from the roof of the three-story building at the corner of Clay and Montgomery streets 1ot night. “Peanuts” had been given the freedom of the roof by his master and his leap to death is considered a case of “dog suicide.” ‘‘Peanuts”’ was a rare favorite with all the neighbors and was generaily good-humored and doclle. He was well used to the roof and knew the great dis- tance to the ground, and being a dog of much conservatism his act is all the more mysterjous. Lafontaine savs if the dog had been skittish or of a romping nature his fatal leap might have been attributed to frolic, but his sober, quiet, thoughtful manner, he says, precludes the idea of accident and encourages the belief that it was a case of self-destruction. ————————— ' Popular Couple Wed.
