TRIED TO
PLAY BALL
IN THE FOG
Locals Take a Game From
the Dudes" With the Aid
of Umpire Graves.

Umpire Graves did not endear himself
to 800 baseball enthusiasts yesterday at
Recreation Park by calling game" at the
close OF the seventh inning. 1t Is true
that g. heavy fog hung over the diamond
and made 1t hard for the players to see
the ball, but II he had allowed the contest
TO proceed TO the end and given the Oak
landers a chance 70 overcome the slg.-t
lead that the local nine had obtained his
action would have been generally ap-
proved. To the minds OF many the dark
ness was even greater in the fifth inning
than at the time the game was called.
Had Graves ordered the men off the field
then he would have acted wisely. II will
take Mr.. Graves a long time 10 win back
the favor Of the fans"
Uncle Henry's victory, II 1t can be called
such, was due TO Muller's homerun drive
over the center field fence The husky
and youthful left-tielder OF the Friscos
made his four-cushioned swat in the fifth
when both teams were tied with one run
and he raised the tie by scoring Pyne and
himself. Muller was given an ovation,
which made him blush becomingly.
Oakland was first TO tally. In the sec
ond Donovan took first on a single and
went TO second on Bolgers wide throw TO
first TO catch him mapping. Lange then
advanced him TO the third cushion and
he came home a few minutes later on
Reilly's muff of the ball thrown TO catch
Lange at second.
The locals evened things IN the fourth
Inning when Sullivan scrambled home on
nice single by Courtney. In the follow
ing inning Pyne was hit by Steffani and
romped leisurely home in company with
Muller when that youngster drove the
spheroid over the fence.
An amateur twirler named Bolger was
put in the box by Uncle Henry as an
experiment and he surprised every one by
holding down the Oaklanders to three
hits. Mr.. Bolger was afflicted somewhat
with stage fright, but did better than the
majority OF novices who are pitted against
band OF professionals. While he may
not set the bay on fire by his pitching,
still he is worth trying, and II is well
is about TO lose both his twirlers, thanks
TO Mr.. Graves. Bolger has few curves.

demand of substantial character developed for

The advance in prices was accompanied by pro-
fessions of confidence that the money market
difficulties had been passed Call money ruled
at per cent and above during the day. The
banks are not losing quite as heavily as last
week, either TO the sub-treasury or to the In
terror. But the outward movement of money
is more than sufficient to make inroads upon
the legal reserve Of the banks. 1t is known
that many loans which have been called have
been placed with other borrowers or have re-
suited simply in a shifting OF coilaterals while
the loan was marked up but EFT otherwise
undisturbed. Reports found currency that con-
siderable money had been placed in call loans
for account Of Canadian banks One New
York bank took out additional circulation in
Washington to the amount of $3.50, 900, which
notes had already been printed and made
available for circulation. Except in these
cases there is no evidence of any actual re-
plenishment of cash for the New York market,
nor is any discernable in the immediate future
Bankers express the oponion that money will
continue hard at per cent above. One
of the vagaries Of the situation is that sterling
exchange held steadv to firm to-day with buy
