BASEBALL.
Numberton Wins Two Games
A Good Game With Rowland
Playing Good Ball.
Reported for The Robesonian.

Reported for The Robesonian.
That the Lumberton baseball
team is getting in fine shape can
not be denied and is evidenced by
the fact that it has recently won
games against two teams which
play good ball. One was with
Fairmont Thursday resulting in
a score of 9 to 2 in favor of Lum-
berton.
One of the best games ever
played in Lumberton was played
Friday with Rowland. The visi
tors brought a good team and
were in fine shape, but the home
team was a little two fast for
them. If one should attempt to
credit the features of the game
it would have to be almost equal
ly divided, for the whole team
played like clock-work. A num-
Der of star plays were made by
the home boys, one a home-run
by Lee Correll, Lumberton's
stick artist, p" who always ''lays
up against 'em hard;;" and Mar
vim Barker made two excellent
catches on second. 1t was any
body's game until the eighth in
ming and exciting to the last, re-
sulting in a score of 4 to l in
favor of Lumberton. Hits for
Lumberton 7, Rowland 2; errors,
Lumberton 4, Rowland 2; struck
out by Stone for Lumberton IL;
by McKeithan for Rowland 4.
Time, one hour and thirty min
,utes.
The home boys have played six
games and won 5. How is that
for percentage?
They expect to play MaXton

Lumberton is fortunate in hav.
ing Mr.. J. R. McPhail to umpire
the season. Mr.. McPhail is ar
excellent and fair umpire and has
umpired all the games played

NO ATTEMPT MADE
 TO RUN YONKERS CARS,
Mayor of City Endeavors to Force Ar.
 bitration Plan.

Yonkers, N. Y, June 16.-The strike situattOn> here is practically unchang- ed. the compnay still refusing to grant the request of the men. Not a car wheel has moved over the line since the strike was declared, as the receiv- CT, Louis Sutherland, has not attempt ed to send out any ears with non union crews On this account there has been litle opportunity for violence, and only the regular police force ic on duty about the city.
 The rain this morning seriously in- terfered with the people of the city who were anxious to get to their places of business. Many had to walk long distances in the rain to get to the station of the New York Central rail- road. Others rode in carriages, auto- mobiles, and taxicabs. which have been running up and down the main streets here and taking the places Of the trol- ley cars.
 Mayor Lannon tonight endeavored to force the arbitration plan on the op- posing factions, but the insistence of the receivers in charge of the company that the employees go back to work without any increase baked his effort. The men refused absolutely to meet these terms, and negotiations were called off.
 City officials then said they would ask the attorney general to begin pro- Seedings to forfeit the franchise of the trolley company.

SymPathizer with Dumb Animals in Righteous Indignation Protests to Bridgeport City Father.

At Bridgeport, Alderman Horace H. Jackson's question box is still in ex- 1stence and working well the latest complaint to come to him from that source being as follows: Now that summer is coming, and many people are going away on vacations. couldn't something be done in regard to their being compelled to either take the cats along with them, provide homes for them, or else have them chloroformed before going. and not leave the poor things behind to starVe and to be at the mercy of the wicked boys who stone them.
 Tt is pitiful to see some poor cats that one does see on the streets. An other thing. There are lots of people who keep kittens. who do not need them or want them If people would only drown their kittens how much misery could be saved. Some people get kittens for their babies to play with and maui around. and when tired Of them oftentimes the poor kittens are thrown out on the street without even giving it a drop of milk.
 Tuesday night I found a poor half starved little kitten on Weed avenue. crying pitifully. I picked it up and founG the owner. a shoemaker, on the avenue. He said it was sick and he did not want it and it was left for me to dispose of. So I paid 25 cents and had it chloroformed that night Wouldn't it be good plan to make people have their cats or kitten li- censed- Then there would not be so many to starve. Please give the mat ter little consideration and see if some law cannot be made by which for their cats and not be allowed to keep a lot of kittens unless they can find homes for them."-From a Sym pathlzer with Dumb Animals.
