Old Boys Play Ball ADDITIONAL LOCALS s nc on a visit They were a tickled lot of old boys who came home from Hensall Priddy about 10 a.m. after having played Hen - sail a game of baseball . and won out. 'Tomas the married men of Hensall against the married amen of. Exeter, and for old chaps the game was a very strenuous one. Six innings were play- ed, and a regular cricket score was made; 26 to 19 it is said, with Exeter just seven ahead. At one time it look- ed as if the score would have been much the other way since at the end of the third'twas 19 to 10 in favor of ttiehome team. Then the visitors got warmed up and with Fred Iiawksbaw. in the bpi it was one, two, three and out for Hensall, while Exeter in their turn bad a regular merry-go-round for a couple of innings. It is needless to comment upon the playing of "the boys" as they were all stars and com- ment does not increase their prestige any. White's hcrne-run.was a beauty. The borne team played good ball with Charlie Mac and Doc. Sellery inthe box and Whitesides behind the home plate, hut the pace was too swift for mennot in the pink of condition. Hensall has the best lot of rooters we. have ever heard, particularly the ;la- dies. It was one long continued cheer for their boys, They seemed to have met Neil McConnell before and be came in for considerable of their chaff. Of course they did not say anything about the umpire. He wasn't a mar- ried man. A return game is expected to take place in Exeter on Friday ev- ening. The following is the list of players and the runs they made: Exeter Hensall Hawkshaw 3 pitcher Sellery 3 Bellwood 4 catcher Whitesides 4 Neaman 4 1 b. Rennie 3 Anderson 3 2 b.

The loss will be enormous, probably reaching $250,000,00n. Two thousand persons killed is con- sidered to be a fair estimate of the casualities. Vina del Mar, three miles from Val- paraiso, and having a population of over 10,000; Quirine, 225 miles, to the southward, with a population of 2500; Lirnachie, fifteen miles to the north west, with a population of 6500; Quilt ota twenty-five miles to the northwest with a population of 10,000, and 'vill- ages all round were destroyed. Most of the.damage was due to fire, which started immediately after the first shock. The whole population is sleeping in the hills, the parks, or the streets. Food is very scarce. It is almost im- possible to obtain meat even at high prices. The railroads are all destroy- ed. The nights are very cold. and windy and the people sleeping in the open are suffering greatly.
