PHILADELPHIA. May 2.-Several of
thoge little peculiarities which make
baseball a game which can't be "doped"
appeared in the opening contest of the
Americans season here this afternoon and
gave Washington victory.
Despite the injunction proceedings, there
were II ,2S3 paid admissions TO the park.

Shame"
Senators Pound Ball.
Right there however. the musicians
stopped No sooner had the mayor tossed
out the hall than the Senators were bang
ing II all over the lot. Five doubles. by
Ryan, Keister. Coughlin. Carey. and Lee;
a single by Ely, and an error by Fultz
on Drills grounder sent five runs over the
plate and caused hea-ish feeling in the
roofing market.
The cannonadlng ended as suddenly as
Il began, and with the Athletics first turn
at bat there opened ball game in which
the crowds thirst for revenge was salts
fed until the eighth inning.
Seybold Makes Homer.
BY two hard batting streaks. in the
third and fifth, the home team tied the
score. and Seybold thought he had ca. ,ped
the climax when he raped a liner over
the lef; field fence for a home run in the
sixth.
1t looked all over with the Senators
for once Plank got his curves rolling he
had his opponents helpless until the
eighth. Then Coughlin opened with a
double. and two outs scored the tieing
run. Then the pitcher outfelders pro-
ceeded to turn the trick. Lee singled and
Carrick's hard drive bounded away from
Seybold and gave him three-bagger,
Lee scoring the winning run.
IL the Athletics ninth Patton started
on badly. First he gave Wiltse four balls
and then hit Hartzel. Right here, how
ever, Case Patten proved himself base
ball genius. Fultz hunted, and, quick as
a shot, Patton threw to Coughlin and re-
tired Wiltse. Then Patton found easy
game in Davis and Lave Cross, and it was
a disaster for Philadelphia.
The failure of Wolverton, Townsend,
and orth to appear was greatly regretted.
Delehanty was also absent.
In everything but the final score the
Athletics opening was a gala occasion.
Nearly every home player got a bouquet
or a floral horseshoe. and even Laioie
came In for bunch of roses.
Such batting as the Senators did was a
treat, while Mack's men also made the
hersehide dizzy Both teams performed
well in the field.

ANOTHER OMAHA STRIKE
Union Pacific Carmen Object to
Piece Work System.

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 1S.-Two hundred
car men, including carpenters, coach
builders and painters, employed in the
Union Pacific shops here unexpectedly
went on strike TO-DAY against the piece
work system. The leaders say that all
the car men on the system will be asked
to quit work. The action was decided
on at a meeting held yesterday, but it
was held secret until the men walked
out today
Some time ago the car men concluded
an agreement with the Union Pacific
road which included what was known
as the premium scale" and which put
the men on piece basis. The under
standing was that no man was to re-
ceive less than his time would amount
to at the regular. hour wage scale, and
they were to have premiums for extra
work accomplished over a certain
amount. The agreement created dis
satisfaction and internal friction in the
car n ems union, and today's strike is
the result,

A PAIR OF FIGHTS.
There will proba bly, be pair of
rather interesting discussions on the
granting of a scavenger'S license to S.
NJ. Evans and the granting of the use
of IL city arc lights to the Kansas Ex-
position company for use during the
state fair.
The former question will be fought by
some of the members of the council who
think that the present plant should be
given a monopoly on the business, no
matter how badly the business is con-
Quoted. Mr.. Evans wants to haul ref
use about five miles from town ana
dump it He offers to pay the regular
scavenger's license of $50 year for the
privilege.
On the electric light question there is
radical difference of opinion. The cleo
trio light committee will report in favor
of allowing the exposition to use Il
city lights, power for which win be fur
nfshed by the city. 1t may be necessary
to take two lights from each ward in
the city to enable the plant to carry the
extra ones at the fair grounds. This
is what is making the trouble.

PROVED A BOOMERANG.
Question of Who Hit Harry Smith a
MYsterY.

An assault case tried in the city court
this morning proved to be a boomer
ang. Peter Shearer. pressman en-
ployed by the Crane company was
charged by Mrs. Smith with assaulting
her son Harry. The Smith and Shearer
families live in adjoining houses in
Farkdale, and small sized feud has
existed between them for some time.
A week ago yesterday Harry Smith was
struck by a large rock thrown by some
unseen person. The missile struck him
on the jaw and temporarily stunned
hin. SEearer was arrested for the
assault AT the trial today Mrs. Smith
swore she saw Shearer throw the stone.
Several witnesses for the defendant
testified that he was lying on a lounge
in the house at the time the boy made
an outcry as the stone struck him. and
that they all went out to see what was
taking place The court found Shearer
not guilty, and assessed the costs,
amounting to about $40, to Mrs. Smith.
This leaves the source of the missile
a mystery.
