Yale defeated Brown on Wednesday,
April 29, in an interesting game, des-
pite the fact that the weather was ex-
tremely unfavorable for fast. work.
The Yale batters hit well when - hits
were needed and: Fearey again demon-
strated his ability as a pitcher, by hold-
ing down Brown to five hits, striking
out eight men and giving but one base
on balls. Sullivan gave him good sup-
port, but he is still weak on covering
the bases. The work of deSaulles and
Hazen was below the mark, but the
rest of the team played sharply. Wal-
lace and Wear kept up their good bat-
ting records and Fearey made the long-
est hit of the day, a drive to deep center
for three bases.
An unfortunate accident occurred in
the sixth inning, which resulted in Pat-
ton’s, Brown’s first baseman, withdrawal
from the game. He fumbled Lander’s
low throw and in attempting to regain
the ball, collided with Sullivan, the run-
ner, and broke his collar bone.
The score:
YALE.

Yale 1901, 12—Brown 1901, 3.
The Freshman team played the
Brown Freshmen at Providence, Satur-
day and easily defeated them in a seven-
inning contest. The Brown team
showed up poorly in the field, while
the work of the Yale Nine was uni-
formly good. The feature of the game
was the playing of Gibson, who held
the opposing players down to four hits
and fielded his position brilliantly. The
batting of the Yale team was good and
their base running fair. The score by
innings was as follows:

Knight of the Burning Pestle.
The first public performance in New
Haven, and probably in this country, of
Beaumont and Fletcher’s “The Knight
of the Burning Pestle” was given in
Warner Hall, Friday, April 29th. The
audience was composed of members of
the Faculty and their friends, and stu-
dents in the Junior and Senior English
courses. The play scored such a de-
cided success that it must be considered
one of the events of the college year.
As stated before in the WEEKLy, the
play was given last term by members
of one of Dr. Cook’s classes, before
the English Department. At general re-
quest the play was repeated in this
public manner yet it was performed in
its original, simple way. It is to be
regretted that a second performance was
not deemed practical, as it was found
impossible to meet, in any adequate way
the demand for tickets.
The last time that Yale students pro-
duced a play was in the Spring of 1805.
While the joint plays were clever and
amusing, the expense and the amount
of time necessary to produce them,
caused their discontinuance.. The Dra-
matic spirit has now reappeared and in
a much more satisfactory form.
The performance had a decided edu-
cational value. As a satire on the plays
of the period and the Jacobean bour-
geoisie, it is a study in the social con-
ditions of the time and a valuable con-
tribution to our knowledge of the stage.
Judged simply on its merits as an act-
ing play, the burlesque held the un-
flagging attention of the audience.
~The humor and wit were still fresh
and unforced, and the actors could re-
ceive no greater compliment than the
way in which the audience enjoyed their
work. :
The staging of the piece and the cos-
tumes were simple yet thoroughly ade-
quate and reflected in a striking manner
the Elizabethan spirit. The acting was
decidedly above that of the average
amateur performance, and this is all the
more creditable considering the fact that
there was no coaching done, each actor
working up his own part and being
responsible for his interpretation of the
character. Without attempting a de-
tailed criticism, Mr. Padelford as
“Ralph” and Miss Myers as the “Citi-
zen’s Wife’ deserve special praise. Miss
Myers’ acting was an exceptionally fine
and intelligent piece of work, the hu-
mor of her part never for a moment be-
ing carried too far.
The play is one of the many signs
of the deep interest the students are
showing in the English work at Yale.
The College is sadly in need of some
stage where such performances can be
given, yet even under the present cir-
cumstances this should become an
annual event. Now that it has been
proved that an old English drama can
attract and interest a modern audience,
there is no reason why other neglected
works of the period should not be
brought back to life. The warmest
thanks of the University are due to the
pioneers in this movement and Prof.
Cook is to be congratulated on the
showing of his class. -

WEEKLY of Mar. 31. Mr. Cooper being
substituted for Mr. Whitman in the

ALREADY A STRONG TRADITION
Tra-
ditions not only govern the conduct
of Freshmen, the relation of classes
and the status of institutions, but
also the business dealings of the new
comer. They direct him where to
go for the necessaries and the lux-
uries of life.
Some of these traditions become
~ strongly intrenched in a few years,
and there is generally a very good
reason for it. We think if you will
communicate with our store by a
personal call or by correspondence,
you will see why the tradition has
become so strong in a few years
among Yale men to get their fur-

Obituary.
JUDGE HENRY BOOTH, LL.D., ’40.
Judge Henry Booth, formerly one
of the best known jurists of Chicago,
died at Minden, Nebraska, on Friday,
April 29. For several years he had re-
sided at Pasadena, Cal., and was on his
way to Chicago, stopping about a week
ago at Minden, to visit his daughter.
Death resulted from a runaway acci-
dent.
Judge Booth was born in Roxbury,
Conn., August 19, 1818. After gradua-
tion from Yale in 1840, he taught
school one year in Wellsboro, Penn.
in Litchfield and New
Haven, Conn., and commenced prac-

Penn., where he resided until the Spring
of 1856. In that year he removed to
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and took charge
