Hedley Defeats Princeton In Rough Local Baseball Match
Hedley won a home baseball game against Princeton with strong fielding and timely plays. Pitcher and catcher performances were notable, while umpire Wheeler drew mixed reviews for close calls in a spirited, messy contest.
Connaught's Successor Widely Discussed in London
Information from an authentic source suggests the return of the Duke of Connaught to Canada is uncertain and likely brief if it occurs. He would be followed by Right Hon. Louis Harcourt as secretary of state for the colonies, a scion of an ancient family with historic offices, born 1863 and married to American Mixx Burne, Pierpont Morgan’s niece, in 1900.
