For short time New York had SO-cent gas
and a lawsuit. It now has only the lawsuit.

The fate Of the BurtOn-LOdge bill for the
preservation Of Niagara Falls depends largely
on the promptness with which 1t is reported by
the House Committee Rivers and HarbOrs
Only a few weeks now remain, apparently, to
secure its enactment at the present session.
Accordingly, the friends Of the measure are
hoping for a report the next suspension
day, which comes on Monday, May u. The
salient features Of the bill that it limits
the American companies taking water from the
river to the amount now being used (rather
than that authorized by their charters) and
prohibits the Importation Of electric power from
Canada. Both provisions become null three
years hence If the practical cooperation Of
Great Britain in the movement has not then
been secured. Whatever may be thought re-
gardng some Of these details, IL is certain that
the administration will be at a disadvantage in
inviting the assistance Of a foreign power in
saving the falls unless Congress acts this year.
Moreover, since all really restrictive legislation
on the subject failed at Albany at the recent
session. Washington at present offers the only
hope Of immediate check on further con-
sumption Of water.

combination.
Yale will play the Tigers and the Grim

even base a claim for supremacy over the
Blue by comparative scores, owing to the
fact that the Cambridge university team

as the Wolverines do not tackle either
Chicago or Minnesota the status OF the
Westerners will he undetermined and they

There was a bunch Of surprises handed
out all around yesterday at the point
when the Pittsburg Pirates left the field
and the crowd OF nearly 1000 fans paraded
through the gates.
The first and chief surprise was hand
ed out 10 the visitors I'm the shape OF a
10 defeat when they had expected TO
do even better than did the Chicago Ma
tionals last Sunday. The next surprise
was given TO the crowd OF fans for they
went 10 the Point expecting 10 see the
Grays beaten handily even when playing
the best OF ball. The way Jack Cronin
worked 10 win the game yesterday was
another surprise 10 all parties and the
fact that he was just as good as Deacon
Phillppi caused another elevation of the
eyebrows.
IL was a dandy game 20 watch and was
so close for the first five innings that the
crowd hardly dared TO bulge for fear
something would go wrong and the game
be lost. When the end OF the sixth came
and Cronin famed three OF the mighty
Pirates in succession pandemonium broke
loose and from then on the scene was one
OF wild confiding Joy.
Cronin has been wearing a hoodoo at
the Point all during the season but yes
terday felt that he wanted TO give the
little black man the final and parting
SHOVE toward the utter realms
Of darkness. When he saw how
his curves were breaking during the
warming up process he was all the more
eager for the tilt. The hoodoo man has
ben vanqulshed and II he ever dares to
show his face again against the big man
this seoson on Sunday he will be cruel
fed
1t is TO be doubted if at any time dur
ing the season OF last year Cronin had
his curves and slants working to better
advantage than he had them yesterday
