SCHOOL GAME AT THE PARK.
Lackawanna Wins First of the
Series.

About 200 students witnessed the de-
feat of the Scranton High School base
ball team by the School of Lackawan-
ma at the Athletic park yesterday af-
ternoon by the score of to S. The
game was hotly contested throughout.
Both teams were evenly matched and
displayed good work as a whole. For
the Lackawanna team Carson, the
third baseman, played a brilliant game.
For the High school, Harrington
pitched an excellent game. 4lIs con-
trol was perfect and his head steady.
Walsh for the Lackawanna team pitch
ed fair game, but his control and
head work was poor Mahon, the
Lackawanna shortstop, was very un-
certain. His exhibition with ground
ers was poor. Catcher Cooney, for
the Lackawanna team. played bril- q.
liant game.
For the High school, Captain TroDp,
first base; Corbett, center field; Phil
lips, catcher, and Gallagher. shortstop,
were the star players. The game was
called at $50 and did not end until 7.O5.

PEELED the game to proceed after thirty
minutes time had been given, owing to
rain. During this time many Of the
men from both clubs had changed their
ball suits and were not at all satisfied
with Captain Tropp and the umpire
on forcing the game to continue. Az
the ninth inning the game was called
owing to darkness. These teams will
meet for series of three games. When
and where the other games will be
played is not yet known.
The High School team, as a whole
and as working team, was superior
to the Lackawanna boys. With a few
days of hard work the High School
boys will be in the pink of condition.
The spectators were we'll pleased
with the showing of their respective
teams. The decisions were fair and
the game was won fairly from the
hlgh School. There is to be sore
changes in each team. What these
changes are to be is hard to ascertain.

TURNED THE MULES LOOSE.
Striking Drivers at the West Ridge
Cause Commotion.

Sixty boys, employed as drivers,
runners. helpers and gate tenders at
the West Ridge colliery, just off North
Main avenue, near Green Ridge street,
went on strike yesterday morning, be-
cause Foreman Kinsley discharged two
of their number who waited upon him
as a committee to ask that operations
begin at o'clock instead of o'clock.
The drivers turned their mules loose
and thereby caused no end of excite
ment in the neighborhood. The mules
were finally captured.
The strikers say they will not resume
work until their discharged commit
tee is reinstated. The breaker boys at
the same place struck last week, but
returned TO work Saturday without
their demands being allowed.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

bN ASSOCldltu IItSS.
New York, May The stock market
liquidation and confident operations by
the bears. The passage of the Ford fran
chise bill early unsettled the market be-
cause of the weakness displayed by the
stocks most concerned.
BY Darlington G. Cusack.
New York May 1.-The local traction
stocks opened weak with a sharp decline
of 10 points in Metropolitan and smaller
declines in Manhattan and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. The railroad list was
steady with Northern Pacific exception
ally strong. After the opening, inside
buying in Federal Steel and American
Steel and Wire advanced these special
ties per cent, but at the extreme high
er point, there was heavy selling of the
traction stocks, and some inside liquida-
tion in tho CoalerS and railroad list
really causing a setback below opening
prices. The weakness in the traction
stocks caused good deal of uneasiness
and there was quite free liquidation
which about o'clock caused sharp de-
cline all along the line. There was alb
solutely no news to account for the
weakness of the market and the break
was due to lack of outside interest and
quite free selling by commission houses,
whose clients have become disgusted
with the waiting tactics the market has
displayed for the last two weeks. While
the market is In one sense very strong,
yet in another there Is an element Of
weakness In it. The insiders while pre-
dieting much higher prices, have liqul-
dated quite freely, and the continued
uncertainty as to the winter and spring
wheat crop have caused the Grangers
and Western Trunk lines to be sold by
holders who have been waiting for higher
prices. Continental Tobacco and Amer
lean Tobacco, both sold off sharply on re-
pOrts that Colonel Whitmore of Leggett
& Meyers, intends to start an independ-
ent tobacco plant. The rumor served to
assist the bears and to shake out some
weak stocks which was practically all
that was expected of IT. The echoes of
the Ford bill are beginning to have their
effect, and while it may be unconstitu-
tional as a law 1t certainly has enough
merit in 1t to make it extremely doubt
full as to whether the legislation is not
popular. Certainly as an indication of
what we can expect of hostile legisla-
tion towards vested interests, IL is serv-
ing an apt illustration. The close was
irregular and inclined to weakness.
