 LINES ILLEGAL Momentous Decision Handed Down by Full Supreme
 Court of Massa-
 chusetts.
  SPRINGFIELD IS EXCEPTED
New Haven Road Faces Forced Sale of $11, ,oOO, 1000 Prop erty-May Appeal to
 U. s. Courts.

Boston, May S.-The information filed by Attorney General Dana Malone some time ago against the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad, in which he claimed that the company had transgrcgscd the law in securing control of six street railway companies in Massachusetts, vas af- firmed by the full bench of the su- preme court in a decision handed down late to-day, so far as 1t relates to five of the roads, the exception be- Ing In the case of the Springfield Street Railway,
 The court expressed the opinion that while the New Haven road did not transgress the law by directly pur- chasing and owning the Springfield Street Railway yet the law was violat- ed through indlrect control.
 The court orders a decree for an in- junction in favor of Attorney General Malone to prevent the New Haven road fro exercising the usurped franchise of engaging in the business of directly or indirectly holding or guaranteeing tha bonds, stocks and securities of Massa- chusetts street raiyway companies.
 Attorney General Malone maintains ed that the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, either directly or indirectly, and contrary to law, owna or controls the Worcester and Webster Street railway. the Webster and Dud- ra ha Qnrip VA6lh Street railway, the Berkshire Street railway, the Worcester and South bridge Street railway and the Black stone Valley Street railway compan- les.
 In its opinion the court says that the New York, New Haven and HartforI road, through the purchase and own ership of the street railway corpor- ations named, by It's creature, the Con- solidated Railway company, trans- gressed the law as to all the street railway companies mentioned in the information, except the Springfield Street Railway company, and that 1t is still transgresslng in the same way as to the Worcester and Webster and the Webster and Dudley companies. The court says that some Jf these companies have been dealt with di. rectly by the defendant by votes of it's directors while they were acting as directors; that the defendants pres ident, Charles $. Mellen, is presiden, of the Consolidated Railway company and of all the street railways. and that he receives no compensation for the performance of those official duties except his salary as president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road
 ! As to the Springfield company the court says the stock was acquired ) through the action of the Consolidat- ed company, whose directors voted to acquire 1t and pay for 1t on a plan outlined by President Mellen, which ) was the establishment of trust to cover the issue of s3,000,O0O guaran. teed trust certificates and S1,500, ,00d
 of the per cent debentures of the

watched the tall sycamore of Oakland
grapple successfully with the hunts
laid down by opposing swatters In the
third inning tumult of applause was
heard when Rip fielded a bunt and
started a fast double play And then
when Rip uncorked a single to left field
the applause made a Bryan demonstra-
ton seem Insignificant.
Just why such a good man as Parson
Frantz must be, should have to suffer
defeat when he only allowed four hits is
one of the queer things about the un-
certain game of baseball. But three of
the number. among them a double bag
ger coupled with an overdose of gen
erosity on the parsons part came to-
gether and were responsible for his
downfall.
1t was in the third inning that his
record was damaged. BARLEY took
one in his arm and attained first Hag-
erman laid down a beautiful sacrifice
and BARLEY reached second. Cole walk
ed and Wooley placed single just in
side of the left field line right down
third base, which proved sufficient to
score BARLEY and place Cole on third.
Wooley reached second on the throw
to the plate. Abbott doubled to left
center and when the smoke arose from
the field of strife both Cole and Wooley
had counted. Davis famed and Abb
bolt was thrown out at the plate by
White on a beautiful throw after Kahl
The infantiles managed to ooze one
across on Rip in the ninth inning.
Runkel who was the first to face Hag-
erman In this round dropped one in
deep left field just inside of the line.
Lou heard someone in the grandstand
say 1t was foul and started back to
pick up his bat, when Red Wright
forcefully urged him to proceed and
even then Lou reached second. Middle
tons infield out advanced the former
Topekan to third. Wright walked and
a single by Texas Jones scored Runkel.
The locals put up a perfect fielding
game, which is remarkable when the
condition of the grounds is considered.
S. Olson's busy day at short and the
fielding Of White in left field for the
visitors stand out as the features of
a game that was not marked by any
spectacular fielding.

The Rev. Walter Frantz, D. D., who
ministers to the Enid flock of baseball

game all the way through nevertheless,
even though he had to take the small
end of a 8 to I score as his stipend
for the day.
There weren't very many of the

The elements were in an opposing
mood for the greater part of the day,

RIP" Hagerman was Cooley's selec-

sort of freak pitchers battle. Hager-
man was not bit stingy with his hits
and allowed just twice the number of
the Enid manager. But he was at his
best with men on bases and not until
the last round was the plate punctured
with run on the part of the invaders.
1t was a great day for Rip. He was
at the top all the time both in fielding
and pitching, and he clouted the ball
for a single besides. Hagerman has
been roasted brown about his inability
to field his position. Yesterday he
