MORE CHESTER RIOTS
FIRES AND FIGHTS MADE THE
DAY. LIVELY.

CHESTER. Pa. April 1J.-Rioting again
disturbed the peace of the city yesterday.
The trolley car strikers and their sympa-
thizers took violent means to show their
anger against the traction company, and a
fire, which caused a loss of $500. is said
to have been of incendiary origin.
At daybreak LOCO men and boys gath
cred in the vicinity of the car barns
Three hours later the mob had swelled
until the streets were chOked. The Ches-
ter police had mp trouble in handling
them. and the presence of the state police
was not needed, although they are camped
but a short distance from town.
Shortly before IL am. a train pulled into
the Baltimore and Ohio depot and the
cry Here come the scabs'' was raised. In
twinkling the mob took up the cry and
rushed TO the station. Men damned the
station and rushed through the train
searching for strike-breakers. There were
no strike-breakers aboard the train. and
the crowd dispersed.
Quiet reigned for nearly an hour. when
the mob was again aroused by the Cry of
fire. The changing engines passing the car
depot were followed by most Of the crowd
The blaze was in stable connec. ed with
the EdgemOnt Hotel, and destroyed the
structure-a two-story frame affaffir-en-
failing a loss of $3.50.
The fire started in the hayloft and, ac-
cording to the officials was of incendiary
origin. Kerosene oil had been poured on
the hay. general alarm was sounded
and it was rumored about the city that
the car barn was afire. This brought
thousands more to the scene. and it was
all the police could do to keep the mob
on the move. With drawn clubs they
charged the crowds and forced them back
of Edgemont avenue and then kept them
there.
The city officials are endeavoring to set

Troy, N. T., at the time and attended a
game out at the park. During the con-
test Johnny. who was seated in the
bleachers. was called upon by Manager
place Of the second basei4.an, who became
i'll. Johnny consented and put up. a
crackerjack game.
He was then regularly engaged by the
the Boston club bought Evers and
Pitcher Hardy. At Philadelphia, Link
Lowe, the Bostons' second baseman, got
hurt. and Selee wired Evers to come on.
Johnny jumped train and arrived in
New York. Having never ridden SO far
know what sleeper was, and had sat
up all night.
He hung about the 42d street
station in his innocence waiting for a
train to take him to Philadelphia. until
a trainman told him to go to Jersey City.
Here Evers took the cars to the Quaker
city, arriving there in the afternoon. He
was put into a double header. though
sleepy and tired as he was, and Johnny
chalked up four errors in the two games
After that he played twenty-three error
less games. and was the talk of the base
ball world.
Nick Altrock's Explanation.
When Nick Altrock. the White sox
pitcher. is on the ball field he always
has big wad OF gum in his mouth His
jaws work SO rapidly that one would
think that they might become dislocated
This has been the cause of much COM
ment among American league ball play
ers, SO when the st. Louis club came to
Chicago, Emmett Heidrick who had been
out of the game for several years, and
who did not know Altrock. stood regard
ing Nick with wonder as his jaws closed
and closed in so rapid manner. Final
ly Emmett turned to Harry White and
said:
Say, Doc. what makes that fellow go
after that gum in that hurried fashion,"
Wait until I ask him. replied Harry;
and then raising his voice the clever
pitcher cried out: Mick how did you
come to develop that swift jaw manipu-
lation?"
when was in Toronto" merrily cried
Nick. II used to eat my meals at joint
where they had a bang-up orchestra, that
didn't play anything but quick twostep
music. and the first thing I knew l was
keeping time to it while I was eating.
and l amt been able to break myself
OF the habit yet
