Sanford won because of opportune hitting and by fighting every inch of the game and the Highlanders had every opportunity in the world to save yesterday's game It real and proper baseball methods had been put in effect.

Just before nieht those who lined the beach saw two large cargo ships heating their way south, aided by the strong wind from the northeast, and although they rose and fell heavily "with the waves, they were making ex traordinary headway and were ap parently not suffering from the blow. One smaller craft, however, the Raven, owned by Edward Huff, was aught in the storm while making its ay over from Nassau, and many anx ious eyes watched It make its way in km the deep sea to the government cut and through that narrow channel w the teeth of the heavy gale, and finally made her way Into compara tively calm water of the bay, mooring shortly after on this side.
