HOME ON FRIDAY

Rain prevented games over the Tri-
State circuit yesterday, Wilmington
was scheduled to open with Johns
town and are booked there today and
tomorrow, but weather indications
this morning were bad for game to-
day. The Chicks are due home on
Friday for long series York will
start the series.
Although the team has lost every
game since being on tho road, Jackson
Is not at all discouraged. The team
has been hitting, hut weakness in
the pitching staff prevented them from
putting up the proper defensive game.
Local fans are eagerly awaiting
the home coming. They realize that a
team is at a disadvantage on the first
trip away from home and that the
home team is perfectly adopted to
the diamond on which they CLEANED
their spring practice.
Since the departure Of the team
Fritz has been shifted to second and
Mecherly on third. This move dis
placed Byrne, but II does not mean
that the services of this fast little
fielder will be lost to the Chicks. il is

sining He has been missing since Sunday
and yesterday the authorities grappled for
his body all day.

lake they met a man, who stopped them.
but after an explanation oy the boys al
lowed them 10 go on their way. few
minutes later they heard a splash, and,
looking down the lake, they saw man s
head boboing about IN the water.
Another man appeared on the bank and
SAID: Hey. Ed you owe me another
nickel" AS the man went down for the
fourth time he exclaimed: MY God, he's
drowning hinselfp'
The boy said this man had coat and
hat in his arms. A few minutes later an
other man and woman came along, and
told the boys TO go home and not to say
word about what they had seen. Dempseys

to the outcome.
Will Present Plan to Hotels.
The best cards Of the union were
played at Hams Restaurant, in Park
Row, and Mouquin's, in Fulton street.
The latter was completely tied up. ana
the proprietor, Henry F. Mouquin,. hung
out a sign on his door which read:
Closed on account Of walters strike. "
Mr.. Mouquin forestalled a walkout
during the crowded luncheon hour by
calling his men together about II 80 and
asking then whether they intended to
leave Most Of the $50 acknowledge 1
that they had some such intention.
A score declared they would stick the
matter through. Mr.. Mouquin ordered
up French rolls and champagne for the
loyal few and shut his doors until the
rest decided to come back.
The Mouquin walkout caused a furry
os excitement next door, at Whyte's, put
the walters there refrained from follow
ing suit. Mr. Whyte explained their ac-
ton, or lack of ii, by observing that the
great majority Of them were Of English
speaking races, notably Irish. Moreover
he said. they only had to work five and
a half days a week and probably did not
think the union business worth sa2ri-
ficng such a job for. The Astor House
was also scheduled for walkout, but 1t,
too. failed to materialze
r. NJ Ham, of the Park Row res
taurant, called his men before him
toward noon and followed Mr.. Moquin' 8
example. He lost about sixty walters
and forty kitchen men. Those who
stayed were concentrated In the raths-
keller and main dining room, and the
upstairs dining room was closed.
The ST Denis, under the management
which recently took over the Marlbor-
ough, suffered an almost clean sweep 1T
luncheon time. J. F. Downey, the man.
ager, didn't waste any time in the
process.
Blow your whistle" he said, as the
union organizer approached him.
There's no use arguing
Clerks, bellboys and chambermalds
marched into the dining room as the
strikers walked out and took their
places 10 the strains Of "Everybody's
Dom II" from the orchestra and the
applause Of the diners. The New Grand,
on Broadway, lost about fifty employees,
and the Grand Union, most OF whose
walters deserted night before last, sub

cooks.

THREE PLACES BLOWN UP
Damage and Excitement, but
Bombs Hurt No One.

Three bombs were exploded shortly
after midnight this morning in the
East Side, the first at No 80 Fourth
avenue, in a three story building. The
windows Of a cigar store were blown
out and the cigars scattered in the
street
Ten minutes later another bomb
wrecked the windows in the painters
supply shop of NJ. Slattof, at No .103
Fourth avenue and little later Samuel
Alexander, a printer. at No. 6 st. Mark :
Place, lost his windows.
On the parlor floor of this building is
the Cafe Central, which was damaged.
The police say that there have been re-
cent raids at the two last named ad-
dresses, and they suspect that the bombs
may be a part Of the gambling war so
theoretically waged on the East Side.
There was great excitement at the
scene of each explosion, but no one was
hurt.
