BASE BALL.

THE WORST DEFEAT PORTLAND EVER EX-
PERIENCED.
The second game on the Portland grounds
between the Portlands and Haverhills was
played yesterday before an audience of 800
people, and resulted in disaster for the home
team Haverhill presented Conley and Vad-
ebonceur, and Portland, Madden and Whee-
lock as the batteries. The Portlands hit Con-
ley efreely, ,!but not safely, while. Madden
pitched a good game, and had ihe been sup
ported as he ought to have been, the Haver-
hills would not have made the number OF
runs they did The Haverhills showed that
they are a stronger club than the home team
in yesterdays game, and if that game is any
criterion to go by, it is hard to see how the
Portlands are going to keep away from the
tail end A first class pitcher should be I'M
mediately signed to help out until Hickman
is able to fill the position, and Dugan should
take Madden's place in the box. Dugan is
fine base runner, has head on him, and is
fine pitcher altogether, and why Manager
Spence does not use him is puzzle to most
of our citizens. Let us have Dugan in one
of the Lawrence games. and II he Is backed
up as he ought to be, he will certainly. win
the game. Manager Spence, while he is
playing good ball, would do better to stick to
the bench and look after his men there dur
ing the game. Let us have no more such
games as yesterday. 1t was the first time
the Portlands have been shut out since the
League was formed, or since Portland has
had professional ball team in fact, and we
hope it is the last. The official score:

PANIC IN OIL.
a Big Failure and Decline of About
Ten Points.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, May 1S.-There was
panic in oil today caused by the failure of
Craig & Lowrie, one of the largest firms in
the country, and reports that the Wander
grift well, just opened, was doing from 100
to 200 barrels an hour. The market opened
weak at 7O5 and Iquickly declined to 6S3 on
the bearish field news. The announcement
of the failure was then made, and when
155, 900 of long oil was sold under the rules
for Craig & Lowries account, values drop
ped like lead to 6SA. There was a slight re-
action after this and at noon 66s was bid.
Their oil sold between 66 and CT. They an
nounced that they would deliver all oil sold
this morning. Mr.. Craig, who is wealthy
producer, states that he will be able to pay
all liabilities. The feeling in oil circles was
little better at noon. For time this morn
ing, however, there was the widest excite
ment at the exchange and everybody wanted
to SELL
Joseph Craig, head Of the oil firm which
failed todaysssince he has been in business for
himself has been at times most important
factor in the oil market. His transactions
were enormous, bold and well planned. AS
near as can be estimated the firm was long
about 100000 barrels, and the differences
will amount to from 100000 to 1920
Members of the firm say their sheet will go
through the clearing house all right tomor-
row, and in few days they will be able to
resume.
OIL CITY, Pa, May Isl. W. Craig the
well known oil broker, whose failure is an
nounced was ''long" about 100000 barrels
in this city. There was great excitement on
change here today.
NEW YORK, May Isl. W. Craig, oil
broker. failed to-day. He was alleged to be
the heaviest operator on the bull side and is
credited with being the power that made the
last advance from 70 to 10. He turned bear
and sold the market down to 80 when he is
believed to have tried to bull it again and has
kent an unsuccessful fight against a falling
market until the two new wells which came
in to-day overwhelmed HIM.
