THE DIAMOND
LYNN TOOK
 THE! FIRST
Holyoke Defeated in the First of a
 Series of Three Post Season .''-'' Games. '-'-'

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 20.-The Holy oke champions of the Connecticut league were defeated by Lynn of the New England league at Ocean park yesterday afternoon by score of 3 to in the first of series of three post-season games. It was clean and speedy contest, the timely hitting of the locals, coupled with the visitors misplays being responsible for the final result. Holyoke hit the ball hard all through the game, but fine fielding back of Abbott kept down the scoring. Holyoke was the first to score, landing a tally in the first in ming, but darwing blanks to the other sections. Lynn's three tallies were gathered in the third, fifth and eighth innings.
 Al Boucher, the sprightly shortstop of the Paper City team, featured in the fielding with a quintet of spark ling assists, Fitzmaurice also con- trnbuted worthy feature in the eighth inning, when he made a beautiful pickup of a hard smash by Massey and with a long clean throw to Lowell, retired Lepine, preventing score.
 Chet Waite started off in rattling style for the Invaders by smashing the first ball Abbott hurled up to right center for two bases. He went to third on Lepines out at first. Luby drove hot grounder to left and scored Waite, Spencer let the ball go through him and Luby went to second. Lynn tied the score in the third on hits by Tansey and Con- naughton, followed by an error of Baker, who let Ahearn's throw pass through his legs. Baker straddled Tansey in feigned effort to get the ball and held him long enough to prevent him from going to third. The umpire ruled that 1t was intentional interference or blocking and advanc- ed both base runers. Adler hit a slow grounder to Baker and Tansey scored.
 In the fifth inning with two out Tansey singled and stole second Connaughton scored him on a sharp liner to right center. Lynn scored its last run in the eighth, when Fitz- maurice hit to left for two bases, took third on a passed ball and a poor throw at Ahearn to third to catch him at that corner.
 Lynn tried out local youngster named Burke behind the bat and he performed very satisfactorily. The score:

Could you have been with me on top of one of the old horse drawn busses on a certain afternoon you would have seen a middle aged gentleman. slightly the worse for wine, take a couple of half sovereigns from his purse.

NEW YORK AND IOWA.

New York and Wall street have had
another terrible scare For hours yes
terday the financial center of the east
shook with an earthquake and men
rushed wildly about fearing that their
business structures We're doomed to
fall and crush their fortunes. Call
money went up to 20 per cent. Secre-
tary Cortelyou came rushing to the
rescue with s6,000,oO0 of the money
of the United States and promise of
SIS, 100000 more. The run on the
Knickerbocker Trust Company brought
about by the refusal of the National
Bank of Commerce to clear its paper
shock the stock market and the finan-
cfal centers of New York to the core.
Panic stalked in upon the scene.
1t was different in Iowa. The banks
were handing out money undisturbed
to the farmer who is getting in bunch
of feeders" to the merchant who de-
sired to discount his bills and needed
a few hundreds for few days. to the
man who Is building and needs money
until he sells his hogs. All the time
the crazy mob was surging about the
New York banks Iowa was selecting
seed corn for next springs planting.
the boys We're out swapping a load to
feed the fattening hogs, the stores We're
busy, labor was refusing ten jobs to
take one, the manufacturing plants
were huniming, and the Shrek of the
planes and clatter of pneumatic ham
mers were loud in the factory dis
tricts. Carpenters, stonemasons,
farmers, merchants, all busy, hopeful,
satisfied, kept about their daily tasks
and planned for the future without
a thought of the riot that was raging
in New York. where Spectators fought
for their business lives. 1t was simply
another illustration Of the recently
learned truth that the middle west is
not dependent financially or.in other
ways upon the financial east and can
get along by itself both as producer
and money lender so far as the ordin-
airy citizen and ordinary operations are
concerned.
The people of the west are becoming
confident and self asserting people,
They have learned their own strength
If the knowledge should bring with it
what excusable for they have suffered

with them and pass on, totally i'm

haps there are two reasons to account
for this attitude of the public. One,

have, John, the Baptist, in the field.
And again we always have had and
always will have, the demagogue on
the rostrum, and the man or the Wom-
an chat makes living out Of it," en-
tering such contest with the appar-
ent zeal and pure motive Of the sin
cere. Then comes a time, where the
Indifferent public "sits up and notices
things" In some mysterious way the
whole community is aroused. The
demagogue and the money getter for
his zeal welcomed with the real re-
former. The public even knowing
them, says never mind, the end justi-
fies the means. And so the good work
goes on. Reforms come. Dishonest
men are held up to public scorn and
disgrace Laws are changed and a
better condition comes. And then fol-
lows the reaction, when again. the
CRATER gradually gets his work in,
when the conditions Of society little by

In the sworn-to evidence concerning
the financial transactions of the Met
ropolitan Street Railway of New York
the public heard for the first time OF
a most peculiar deal in "high finance"
Stripped Of detail and dealing in round
numbers it seems that an individual
owned some franchises to build and OPP
crate street railways on some OF the
streets, not used by the metropolitan
railway. Said individual sold these
franchises to said railway company for
saw 100000, and said individual was
paid that amount by said railway COM
pany. Then said Individual at once
made out. five checks to the order Of
five officials or directors of said COM
pany for 100000, that is. each individ-
uaI received one fifth Of 100000, the
franchise seller only getting net $780,
900 for his franchises. On the books
of the company stands a charge of
100000 for repairs, impFovem etc.
But that is not all, the franchise seller
was put on the salaried list of the
company, at $50 oOo.a year The names
given in these transactions are prom
inent in Wall street, and in the finan-
cial world. They have suffered no So
cial or financial loss of prestige from
this publicity. But just the same this
is stealing, which in dictionary words
