The GRANITE STRIKE.

The Situation In Providence Unchanged.
The extension of the granite workers
strike over lSew England will have no
effect on the work now being done. J. T.
Tank could not be seen this morning, as
he had gone to Boston to attend the
meeting OF the Granite Association, but
the foreman at the Gaspee street works
quarry as commenced and that in few
days there would be all the stone here
that could be handled. Nearly as many
men are working at this place as before
the strike and as soon as the granite ar
rives in sufficient quantities a force of
cutters will be set to work and the walls
will be pushed as before. This is also
practically the case with the work in the
charge of Nash and Ingerson.

IN SPORTING CIRCLES.
Tho Grays Lose the Last Game on the
Home Grounds to the Trojans.
OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY.
brown and Cornell Play an Eight-Inning
Tis-Jos Hornung Has Trouble With
Manager Burnham and Declares That
He Won't Play with the Grays Again.

The last game of the first series on the
home grounds was defeat for the Grays.
The Troys won by the same narrow margin
by which they had been defeated on Thurs
day. It was great game, and one which
no one could complain of losing. Both
teams played an almost perfect fielding
game, and the single error made by each
club had nothing whatever to do with the
score. The runs on both sides were the
result of loose pitching in the second in
ming, coupled with little timely bat
ting.
Knauss was in the box for the Grays.
and with the exception of the fatal second
started in TO catch him, but in the second
inning while on third base. was hit on
the right arm with a thrown ball and
Ryan was Obliged to take his place be-
hind the bat. Arthur Clarkson did the
twirling fer the Trojans, and pitched a
steady game with the exception OF the
hind the bat and played great game. The
infield work OF the Troy team through
out the game was phenomenal, thirty-six
chances being accepted by the four men
on the infield.
In the first inning both sides were re-
tired in quick order. In the second with
two men out Smith got base on balls,
Murphy also waited for four balls and
Smith went to second base. Krauss hit
safely and Smith scorrd. Friel also got a
hit and Murphy scored. Krauss going to
second. Mack got a base on balls and the
three bases were full. Everybody expected
to see Petit make hit, but the best he
could do was to drive it down TO short,
who threw to second base cutting off
''Redyn Mack and the side was retired
with two runs.
Then the Troys took turn at it. Ca
hill, the first man up, was hit and took
his base. Power struck out McGlone
got first on balls and SO did Clarkson.
McCaffrey made scratch hit right in
front of the plate which was thrown TO
first to cut the batter off, instead of smut
ting Off Cahill at the plate, as he was
forced home. Cahill scored on this play
and SO did McGlone. Clarkson in the
meantime bad got to second base, whence
he scored on a double by Freeman.
Schcfiier and Freeman were on the bases
when the third man went out.
After this inning there was close and
rapid playing on both sides but neither
was able to score, and the close of the
game found the score the same as it was
at the close Of the second inning. The
score:

Haverhil Wool workers Object to . New
Kind OF Fancy Cloth.
HAvERHILL, Mass, May 14.-Thirty OF
the 40 weavers employers at Stevens &
Co. wooden mills here struck yesterday
in consequence of the introduction of a

pay on the old prices was offered, the
proprietors contending that the help
could earn as good pay on the new as on
the old work.

harder and exercise more care and they
think they are entitled to more pay.
These mills have always been remarkably
free from labor troubles, and a speedy
settlement Is looked for.

with Harvard, in the presence OF 1000 peo-
pie. The score was 4 to In favor of

eighth inning broke Upton's thumb be-
tween the joints and he will be unable to
play again this season.
