.WlELANDS OUTPLAY
FORESTERS, IS TO 0.
Losers Unable to Connect with MUIR
phys SIants When Hits Were
Needed, While Winners Get
Seventeen Safeties

Every player on the Wieland team
took swat at the ball yesterday after
noon in the game between the VIE
lands and the Foresters at Thirty
eighth and Alameda streets, and when
the game was charitably called at the
end of the ninth inning the agony pic
tured in figures read IS to 0, with the
Wielands on the long end.
Black, pitcher for the Foresters, was
lambasted for seventeen hits, while
Murphy, who was in the points for the
Wielands pitched a clean, heady game
and only allowed his opponents six
scattered hits, none of which was pro-
ductive of runs, as he was given per-
feet support In justice to Black it
must be said that the men behind him
contributed eleven fat, juicy errors,
which made run-getting easy.
The game was a farce from the be-
ginning, the Wielands getting four
runs in the opening skirmish. and
from that time never was in danger,
as hits and runs with the Foresters
were as scarce as hens teeth. With a
team that could furnish any opposition
the game would have given the spec
tators a run for their money, as the
Wielands gave a classy exhibition at
the bat and in the field. AS it was,
the crowd got their enjoyment in APP
plauding the errors of the Foresters
and jokingly threatened to take legal
action for the suppression of baseball
ii such another affair as yesterdays
game is advertised as contest" This
is the way it happened

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Prices of stocks
moved irregularly and haltingly last week
toward higher level. This to the accompani-
ment of expressions of encouragement from
various sources at the slow rate of progress
of business improvement and the small ap-
parent prospect of early revival.
Opinions of accredited authorities in the iron
and steel trades were that the lowering prices
lad failed to stimulate any effectual demand
for products. The week was filled with re-
ports of intended further cuts in prices, of les
SEEMING production by shutting down mills and
of reduction of wages.
The danger In strikes also entered into the
discussion.
In the copper trade some improvement in
demand was reported and considerable sales
of refined copper were said to have been made
early in the week. The subsequent subsistence
of this demand neutraized the effect
In mercantile lines also and in railroad
traffic the returns show the disposition to await
the completion of the changes In the import
duties now under discussion before forward
steps are taken.
The condition of the winter grain crops is
another undecided problem, although growing
sentiment of encouragement over the condi-
ton of winter wheat is discernibe.
The money market offered no complications
which had any influence stocks.
Money continued to flow from the domestic
interior to New York in more than sufficient
volume to Offset the foreign demand for gold.

some Advertising said Secretary
Bertonneau of the Pasadena board of
trade when arranging the carnival of
sports. He admits that Knabenshue'
flight and the Americans trip gave
both features. Eastern papers gave II
great deal of space to the events and
contrasted the summerlike conditions
at Pasadena with the blizzard at the
end of the trip.
Frank Leroyxez has his new balloon,
the Los Angeles, nearly finished, and
he hopes to initiate it for a formal
christening and initial ascension from
Chutes park before the middle of next
month. The balloon will have a ca
pacity of $4,000 cubic feet. which is gas
sufficient to lift 1900 pounds. Local
firms have completed the basket and
valve and LeroyXez made the net and
envelope himself. He has another ball
loon of equal capacity under way,
which also will be made entirely in Los
Angeles.
Worlds Smallest Balloon
The smallest balloon in the world,
which will be large enough, however,
to carry two heavy men if inflated
with hydrogen gas is being finished by
Roy Knabenshue, and he will make an
ascension with it, probably from Pas
adena, within the next two weeks. He
had planned to use the Fairy, as he
will name it, at the Pasadena carni-
val, but could not get enough silk to
finish the task.
The balloon will have a capacity of
10000 cubic feet of gas, and will lift
315 pounds in addition to it's own
weight. Knabenshue abandoned work
on his aeroplane to make his flights
at Pasadena, and he will not complete
ii until he reaches San Francisco.
