SUIT AGAINST
CANAL COMP ANY
Charles Gring Of PhiIadel-
Dhia Files Papers
Hearing on the Application TO be
Held in United StateS Court
Next Month

In the United States Court yesterday
morning Willard M. Smith, OF Phila-
delphia. and II. p. Joslyn, representing
Charles Gring, of Philadelphia. filed a
petition in the United States Circuit
Court before Judge Gray asking for am
injunction to compel the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal Company to allow
Grngs barges and tugs to pass
through the canal.
They charged that the company was
discriminating against the boats OF
Gring by charging higher rates and by
making numerous rules and regula-
tions.
One of the chief causes for COM
plant is that by the rules of the canal
company Grings barges and tugs are
not allowed to go through the canal on
Sunday. They also asked that re-
straining order be issued until hear
ing could be held.
Judge Gray would not grant the re-
straining order, but made an order TO
show cause why the injunction should
not be granted. Argument will be
heard on July Is.
During the reading of the petition
Judge Gray remarked that he at
one time Was called upon to prosecute
1.-THE OFFICERS of the canal company fol-
violating the Sunday law by allowing
boats to go Through the locks on Sun
day.

n.. BASEBALL GAME YESTERDAY

In a heavy downpour Of rain VIII
mington A. A. and Norristown fought
IT out for nine innings at the new ball
park yesterday afternoon. and the local
team pulled out an easy victory. De-
spite the fact that the game had to be
called for a short time on account Of
the rain. the rooters continued to root
and roast the NorTistown men. The
visitors scored three runs in the first
inning because Foreman who pitched
for the home team. would not exert
himself When things began to look
serious. however. Foreman settled
down 10 hard work and the best hitters
among the visitors were at his mercy.
Livingston was in the box for Norris
town and for while he did good
work. A decision made by Umpire
-'awson Oaspleascd him and in his
anger he went to pieces. Russell, the
heaviest batter on Manager Frysingcr's S
nine struck out twice yesterday. Liv-
ingston gave him slow curves. and the
f big fellow could not find them, tying
himself into all kinds OF knots when
he would fan the air.
Hoffman had his south-paw in good
working order and NE certainly heaved
the ball around the lot IT different
stages Of the game. Aubrey was on
third again yesterday and made coed
on all his chances. His work with the
stick was OF the first-class order.
Norristown played their kicking
