THR BCLIPSH OF TIIR SI'N.
The most siicesssrul observation of
any eclipse In the history of astronomy
was made yesterday by the splendidly
equipped expeditions sent out by tho
groat Observatories. Thousands of pho-tographs
of the wondrously beautiful
corona wore made, and Important data,
which It Is thought will clear up many
disputed points, were collected. In Con -
shohockon a fairly Rood view wns ob-tained,
though at the time tho eclipse
was greatest, !> a. m.. It wns obscured
by clouds. Through the rifles and open-ings
occasional glimpses were afforded
of the eclipse at its height and several
good photographs made by local ama-teurs.
. About '.l.'lii the sun passed Into a clear
sky and from that time till the Una!
contaci the shadow was watched with
unusual inleiesl
As the union cut Into tho sun's disc
tho light faded Into tho dull gray Of
twilight. Hie air Incline cold, and the
wind Increased. An awful silence per
vaded the world and not until the dull
gloom passed nway did the noises and
hum Of nativity begin again.
Everybody in Oonahohoeken appar-ently
had laid in slock a supply of
smoked glass and for the lime being
directed their gaze toward tho king
Of day.
Al St. Matthew's Observatory. Rev.
Fr. Klnuhan. Rev. W. O'Donnoll and
Prof. II. K Corrlgan took records of
the contacts. The observatory, with its
splendid equipment, was the Mecca of
local astronomers.

Lee and a number of ladles viewed il
through the observatory's equutorlul.
On Monday nfternoon tho Conshohoc-ken
Jr.. played the Crawford Tigers an
Interesting 10 inning game the score
being 18-18. The boys had the game
well In hand until the Gth Inning when
SteJey was hurt which demoralized the
team and they wont to pieces. Crim-ean
pitched Ii Innings during which
only 5 hits were made although ho was
erratic hitting 4 batters. Stiiley caught
in excellent game while Crawford and
Miller played well for Hob's team.

been greatly strengthened will try and

this year again, and as be is advancing
In years he seems to be advancing In
base, ball also, and getting better every
yenr. On Saturday afternoon ho was
pitied against the Franklin & Marshall
University, and the way he sent the
horse hide over the plate was a won-der.
He made the Collegians look like
thirty cents and when the contest was
over they had not succeeded In getting
ft hit off Paddy and had only scored
one run due to errors by the fielders
back of him. The best hitting the F.
* M. could do was to get ball past tin
Inflelel but twice. Paddy also put up n
line fielding game having eight assists
to his credit, showing how Invincible
he was to the opposing team when they
not get the ball past him.
