TEN INNINGS TO A TIE.
Exciting Game Between Western
and Business High Schools.

II all the games of the inter-high school
championship series are as productive of
enthusiasm as the opening contest at
American League Park yesterday after
noon, when Business and Western High
Schools played ten innings to tie, to 6,
the season will be most successful. About
400 rooters of the opposing schools made
more noise than as many thousand fans
do when the Senator's are putting the fin
ishing touches to the Orioles or the Bean
eaters
The game was exciting from start to
finish. Business was blanked in the first,
but the Westerners got three runs. aided
by errors on the part Of their opponents
and a lone single. They added another
point to their score in the second. Bust

The Westerners, however. took decided
brace. for without securing single hit
two runners were sent across the plate,
tying the score again. And there it re-

order and in the last inning tbs three
Westerners who stepped to the plate were
retired in regular order. The score:

the beginning of an attempt TO over

has just reduced wages IA per cent.
The railroad combine is gradually
advancing rates, there is a dearth OF
potatoes. they have raised the rates
on this necessity from the Northwest
TO Chicago nearly rs per cent. and
freight on coal has been advanced
in about the same proportion. These
advances are but the opening wedges
for the ultimate extortions that IL is
possible for the trusts TO force all
to pay. That they will he cautious
i'm making increased prices Is also GER
tain, for they are managed by the
shrewdest men in the world. They
are now engaged in forcing their
goods into foreign markets at prices
averaging % per cent less than they
charge us at home. This they are
enabled 10 do through the protection
granted them by the tariff.
