The Sox dropped the last game of the
series to the Yanks yesterday 7 to 1.
The game was an awful thing to look
at from a Sox standpoint, as the home
boys played far below their recent
speed.
Birdie Cree had a field day. II he
had been on his vacation the Sox would
to the plate in the first inning spoiled
Chicago's bid for a run, and his catch
of Zeider's poke in the sixth was dis
courag ing, to say the least. But Birdie
didn't confne his rude work to his
fielding. He also enjoyed himself by
driving in whole lot of New York
runs.
Olmstead didn't prove a good mud
horse. He slipped all over trying to
field his position and must have felt
himself slipping long before he was
taken out. But he wouldn't have been
given such a beating If his support had
been half way decent. Cy Young was
a big Improvement. although his wild
ness had him in serious trouble in the
eighth.
Jack Quinn, after escaping in the
first inning. made us look sick until
the game was cinched.
This was the last appearance of the
Sox on their home lot until Labor day
and good sized Tuesday crowd was
! out to bid them farewell. Mr. Coln
| flower announced that the game woult
| be called at regardless of conse
I quences to allow the clubs to catci
/ their train.

UNION PACIFIC BREAKS

NEW YORK. June 3.-There was

decline. selling of to III and its ex-
ample was followed by Reading,
Amalsamated Copper, smelters and
Steel common. The drop came with
cut warning with the result that many
margin accounts we're caught and had
TO be closed out. This liquidation
brought out large blocks of stock from
every quarter and the bull element
was caught mapping.
There was no reason assigned for
the pressure other than the general
feeling OF unrest and the belief that
the railroads were almost sure to lose
their suit to maintain increased freight
rates.
Wall street learned to-day that as
soon as President Taft returns from
his present western trip the attorneys
and representatives OF the railroads

they are at" SO far as the admins

The railroads want TO present their
side OF the rate case, They aliege
that the recent increases were justi-
fed by present conditlons ana that the
inttmation that they were part OF
plan to increase earnings for specu-
iative effect IL untrue.
The railroads also assert that they
have been cooperating in good faith
with President Taft in getting the
railroad bill through congress.
