II the conductors and gripmen on the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue Line are
to be believed the company will have
trouble before long. Owing to the extra
length OF the cabls cars compared with
the horse cars the company have decided
to run only i50 cars. These $50 cars
will be required 10 do the work formerly
done by $50. What interests the en-
ployees Of the road is the extra amount
OF work required under the new method
Of transportation. Heretofore each driver
and conductor has made five round trips
day, and now they will have to make
ak. The conductors receive $2 and the
gripmen $2.25 day. Considering that
the work Is much harder for the men on
the new cars as well as the additional
work the men think they should have an
extra compensation for ali this eAtra
work. An organization is being formed
by the employees OF the road and il be-
hooves the officials of the company TO
carefully consider the grievances OF their
men before they paralyze traffic on New
iork's great thoroughfaFe.
On Saturday night the New York base
bali club left Philadelphia on their first
western trip OF the season. They will
play in Cincinnati, Chicago, st Louis,
Louisville, Cleveland and Piltsburg, and
will not return TO the Polo grounds for
three long and weary weeks. What will
the cranks and rooters do? What will
become OF such old base ball enthn siasts.

good showing that the cripples made
agains: the Philadelphia team and the
fact that Ex-Possmaster Van Cott, xno
is president OF tha. club accompanying the
boys on their present trip, Il 10 hoped
that the gallant boys from Gotham will
hold mp their end in the battles to be
fought in the west Philadelphia leads
in the league race but the first six clubs
are 30 close together that q week may
reverse the entire standing. II is indeed
an interesting race Tor the coveted pen

history Of the turf.
The longest game Of base ball 50 far
this season was played at Cincinnati on
Monday between the Cincinnati and
New York teams. Although the New
York's are badly crippled they tied the
score in the ninth inning. when the game
was apparently won by the home team.
The showing they made by iieing the
score in the 18th and again in the 10th |
innings WAS remarkable. At the end OF
the llib inning the game was called ow- |
ing to darkness. The following is the |
score by innings:
