THE FUTURE OF STOCKS AND
BONDS,

In speaking of the condition of the
stock market Henry Clews says that
the advance that has taken place in
bonds and stocks so far, is based more
upon hopes than upon accomplished
facts. There are over SIS, ZOO, 900, 900 of
stocks and bonds listed in the Wall
street market, and the handling of
such an enormous mass of securities
is no small matter, and the work of
advancement is necessarily slow. OF
the probable outcome he says:
1.-THE market has yet to receive it's
main stimulus. 1t has risen thus far
upon anticipations. When we wit
ness the realization in uniform large
increases Of earnings among the rail-
roads; when the swelling of the in
terror demand for merchandise based
on dollar wheat has told it's tale in
the distributing markets; when the
increased demand for goods begins to
advance commercial values; when our
enormous cotton crop reaches the
stage of marketing land when another
large surplus Of exports over imports
brings free importation of gold,-
then we shall have the force of things
seen in place of the hope of things un-
seen, and Wall street will witness
such harvest as it has not seen for
many years past. A few weeks more
will land US in the stage of the great
recovery; which, however, is not to
be expected to exhaust the upward
tendency Of prices"

SICK
well, he Isl replied Lally. Very
sick, and if he does not take care OF
himself, he won't be able to even sit
here and watch the game, let alone
play in it."
BY this time Mack had gathered from
the consensus of Mr.. Lally's May day
speech that there was likely to be a
Haymarket riot if Myers did not get
out of the game, and Speer was ordered
to third base. Lally had watch IN
his pocket, and at the expiration of
a minute, which elapsed without Myers
having gotten more than half way to
the visitors bench, Mr.. Lally quietly
informed Capt GlaSscCck that the back
board was wrong. The score was not
four to two, but nine to nothing.
Jack said it was too bad the mistake
occurred. They would try and get
boy who could take better care of the
work, and he hoped the mistake would
not be considered seriously by the guest
of the occasion.
Mack said they'd have to get an ex-
pert accountant to make mistakes as
fast as Lally, and then the fences would
be too short for the score.
1t looks to an outsider as though Mr..
McGillicuddy does not greatly admire
the very aesthetic yellow which he says
characterizes Mr.. Lally's, brand of UNI
piring.
From the first to the eighth inning
the game was close, and but for the in
frequency of the hitting, might have
been wildly exciting. There was hard
ly batting enough, however, to suit
such a cold day, the game being

lal,o oo nd took the,
case away from the McGill-Rettger ar

George Rettger opened the pitching
for Milwaukee with an in-shoot The
scientists say that there is not such a
thing as an in curve. but there GER
tainly is, for this shot into O'Rourke's
back and knocked him clear to first
base. Parrott was ambitious to make
the game a cinch in the first inning,
and he caught the ball a little back of
the center, giving it marked right
field tendency, but a very low angle
of elevation. The result was that it
was taken, within a few inches of the
ground, by a Milwaukee first baseman
named Stafford. who stepped back to
the bag again and put an END TO the
ambitions of Tim O'Rourke by as quick
an unassisted double play as is likely
to be seen on the grounds this season.
1t was particularly unfortunate at
that time, for Nyce was carrying
loaded bat, too. and he drove three

third and Spies tried to catch him.
Daily slid and the ball struck him and
went into the field. O'Rourke and the
Milwaukeean mixed up bit, and then
DAILY came on in. claiming that
O'Rourke had fouled him. Mack got
a base on four, but Rettger struck out
and the net result for the inning was
one score.
The third saw little encouragement
for the home tenn. After two were out,
Parrot hit safely, but tried in vain to
steal second. Vain attempts at larceny
also helped to retire the Milwaukeeans
in the same inning. Nyce went out,
but Myers inability to grasp the live
wire that George batted the ball on

however, went out before the little
right fielder could get around.
Then the Brewers fattened. With
enc out DAILY duplicated Nyce's pre-
vious hit almost to blade Of grass,
and it was an easy matter for the
bronze second baseman to come in
when Stafford sent a long fly to Par
rott. Myers struck out, preventing
further damage.
Rettger, however, let down and tried
to throw the ball through Nichols
blood purifier. Mr.. Nichol took his lame
lung to first base for repairs. Spies
hit safely, and, for that matter, in
timely fashion, as Nichol got to third
on the hit by a good run. McGill hung
around the home plate like tramp
dog at an eating house door, and was
finally rewarded with a base on balls.
That unlucky O'Rourke boy was hit
by another pitched ball, and another
run was forced in. Then arose the
first of Connie Mack's troubles with
the umpire. Parrot hit a high fly and
DAILY went after it. He handled it,
and it should have been called an in
field fly. under the rule Lally, how
ever, insisted that as he did not call
it an infield fly it did not come under
the rule. AS result, instead of de-
claring Parrot out on the hit, he de-
clared O'Rourke out when DAILY threw
the ball to Delehanty. But Spies came
in and McGill went to third, whereas
the strict rule would have put Par
rott out and left the others where they
were. 1t may or may not have made
difference of one rum for it brought
McGill to third, where he was able to
score on Nyces fly to Nicol. Had he
been farther back in the circuit he
might have been lost, for George gave
Myers wide foul and the inning was
over, with one bunch of four for the
locals.
After that no one made the circuit.

two runs in their half of the fifth. The first
man up, Reilly, suffered the fate of Mr..
Bannon in the preceding inning and was
struck out by Carney. Lake tore the cover
off the ball for three Eases and was brought
home by Barnett's single. Menefee attempted
to sacrifice and reached first on Pickett's err
ror in failing to hold the ball from Carney. and
in the meantime Barnett scored Jimmy
Bannon went out on three strikes and Con-
naughton's grounder was picked up by Car
ney in the neatest possible manner and
dropped to first and the Blues had scored
their last run of the game. In the next two
innings the a.illers failed to score, mostly on
account of their inability to find Barnett, who
had got his arm we'll limbered up. In the
eighth, however, they got next to the ball
again and Barnett was very easy mark.
Carney hammered out single and Ball sent
him to second, and reached first on Bar
nett's failure to pick up his sacrifice. Lally
reached first on slow one to Barnett, who
caught Carney at third. Wilmot brought Ball
home on single and sent Lally to third and
was advanced to third, and Lally scored on
Pickett's fly to center field and Menefees In
ability to hold it. Cassidy took his base on
balls, Miller went out on a fly to Jimmy Ban
non and Kuehne popped one up for Reilly,
and the scoring ended.

brilliant plays, with the exception Of "Doggie'

flies to right. which he pulled down in a
most artistic manner. The score:

MILL CITY FANS DELIGHTED.
Got the Right End of the Opening
Day Score.

The base ball season in Minneapolis opened
auspiciously yesterday afternoon. About 1870
O'Clock the procession was formed down town
for the parade. First came the reporters and
umpire, then the band, which was more
than successful in calling the attention of
the crowds to the fact that base ball game
was to be played later ON. Following the
band came the coaches filed with the two
teams. They were greeted with cheers as
they passed by, while the usual attendant
small boy followed close beside his small
heart filled with pride. They yelled Justify
and gave each man his share of attention.
After the teams came the city officials and
the fans who were interested enough to turn
out. The line Of march was up Hennepin to
Seventh, then down First avenue and back
again out Nicollet to the ball grounds at
Thirty-irst street.
In spite Of the warm sun, the wind blew
a cold marrow-fnding breeze that chilled
every one. This did not have much effect
on the fans Of more or less high degree, for
they turned out in generous numbers. fully

lust what Mr. McGillicuddy said to Mr.
Lally could not be heard in the grand
stand, thanks to the direction of the
prevailing wind. but judging from

by the x-Pittsburger during his early

it is fortunate for the sod diamond
that 1t did not reek with blood.
Neither disputant forgot himself,
however, so far as to resort to the
ungentlemanly fisticuffs, but when the
debate was over and the fans were
clamoring for more ball, Lew Myers,
the triple bag hustler of the Brewers,
were an expression on his face which
Indicated naught but contempt for the
umpire.
Then it was that Mr.. Lally informed
Mr.. Mack that he needed new third
