PLAlNFlELD FAILS TO
 COME ACROSS WITH COIN
Game With Baltic A. c. Falls Through -Plainfield Manager Failed to Show Up.

The manager of the Baltic A. C.. baseball team visited The Bulletin of flee Wednesday evening with 50 per fectly good bones" which he desired to deposit against a like sum of the Plainfeld teams coin for a game be- tween the two hines. The representa- tive of the Plainfield team failed to show up as he had agreed to do in a letter to The Bulletin, so there was nothing doing. To show his opinion of Planheld, the manager of the Baltic ball tossers has the following to say:
 The would-be sports of Plainieid who were to meet the manager of the Baltic A. C., according to their own statement in The Bulletin, failed to appear. Whether it was a case of cold feet or a lack of funds we do not know but the occurrence brands them as a cheap bunch of sports. We hope they will warm their feet and get some cure for their swelled heads, of which we think they have a bad case Well, Plainfield, you have still got your $50, and we hope you will play someone else who look a little easier than the Baltic A. c.

NAeLE ANOTHER SWEET MARIE
Kate Mckinney, Year Old Daughter of Mckinney, Resembles Great Race Mare.

Standing Is hands and possessing the same conformation, color, gait, | manners and disposition as Sweet Marie, POP, w. J. Andrews thinks he has in Kate Mckinney a trotter that may become as great as the renowned daughter of Mckinney and Lena Riv- CTS. Kate Mckinney is a year old owned by Henry Schmulbach of Wheelin, W. Va. She is an exceeding ly we'll bred trotter that is destined to trot very fast some day. At least that is the opinion several well known horsemen share with Billy Andrews.
 Alex Slater is among those shrewd geniuses who have gone on record as a prognosticatoT of good things for this mare. Slater Is man of few words, but he knows the horse game well, and what he says bears weight. When Slater says a trotter is good his listener can rest assured that he Is getting information from a well in formed horseman. Billy Andrews drove Sweet Marie and gave her a record of 2.02 3-4 He hopes he has another as good as she in Kate Me Kinney. If breeding counts Kate Me Kinney should come up to eXpecta- tions. She Is by McKinne,, while her first dam Is Lady Thisbe, the good race tlldTc WHO ndS three III lH6 llSI. Lady Wilton, the second dam, has four in the list, as has Lemonade, the third dam of Kate. The fourth dam Is Susie Melbourne. and she is the pro- ducer of two which have earned rec ords better than 2.30. The Wilton and Kentucky Prince crosses stand out prominently in this mares lineage and doubtless will help her to be race trotter
 When Andy Hamilton, manager of Schmulbach's Brookdale farm, visit ed North Randall few weeks ago, he had about made up his mind not to start Kate this season. She Is only 4. and big, ~T1t not growthy, being a typical Mckinney type Of trotter. An dreWs worked her in 2.19 last Thurs day. put in all probability he will not beat 210 with her before fall.

RALLY IN LAST HOUR.
Market Up to That Time Threatened
 Record Day of DuIIness.

New York, July 1.-The most note worthy feature of today's session on the stock exchange was the fact that up to the last hour it bade fair to mark the smallest. total of transac- tions in over a month and closely ap- proach the dullest day of the year. Prices were at first inclined, to go lower. but in the final thirty minutes, and to the accompaniment of no little activity practically all losses were effaced and mShy net gains of mate rial value were established.
 Early weakness of our stocks was attributed to foreign influence, London sending over a range of quotations, some of which were much under yes terday's close. United States Steel was heaviest abroad, the selling being associated with fears of an adverse report by the congressional commit tee apointed to Investigate that cor poration. Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific. Illinois Central and Amalga- mated Copper also bore marks of Eu- ropean liquidation, albeit in moderate volume.
 If the home market had any actual impulse, it was again to be found in the crop situation, all news dealing with agricultural conditions being of an encouraging tenor.
 There was also some indication of increasing betterment in the steel in dustry, as evidenced in another ad- vance in certain manufactured pro- ducts.
 The attention of our bankers was once more directed to developments across the water Money was scarcer in London and consols declined to the
 
 falling -sixteenths on reported sell ing of a prominent local financial in stitution, together with the failure of another large underwater for one of the British colonies. French rates were lower.

him in the east before the present trip. It Is true that he defeated us, but he was so nervous that the slight est untoward happening upset him. His mates were at his side almost ev- cry inning, trying to distract his at tention from himself.
 Every time a fly ball was raised, Rube stood there with clenched fists and shaking limbs until it was caught. On one occasion Merkle went over for foul fly. It was the third out, and an easy one. Fred made the catch, and Herzog had to go up and push Rube off the mound. He didn't even know how many were out As soon as he reached the bench-we were all watching him-Rube wrapped his sweater about his right arm instead of his left, with which he twirls. He had a wild appearance. and acted like an escaped lunatic. He confided to one of our men that he was so worried about his winning streak that he couldn't sleep all night for thinking of 1t. He made & grand record, all right, but am inclined to believe that he will be some time in recovering from it."

TWO WINNING ATHLETES
 ON SUPPLEMENTARY LIST
Expenses of strobino and Meyers Paic
 by Private Parties.

Stockholm, July 1.-Two of the American athletes who won points for their team here were on the supple mentary list, and their expenses were no. paid by the American Olympic committee They are Ava Meyers of the Irish American Athletic club of New York and Gaston Strobino of Paterson, N. J. Meyers ran second in the 100 metre race, and Strobino was third in the classic Marathon. Being placed on the supplementary list meant that an athlete would be allowed to compete. but that he must pay his own expenses. Meyers club came to his aid and raised the money for his fare and board, while friends of Stro- bino in Paterson did the same for him. Strobino is only 2 years old. He was born in Switzerland of French parents. He came to this country when only 8 years old and has been running for three years

 Umpire Cleary first aroused the an ger of the spectators when In the seventh inning. with the score tied, 1 10 l, he gave decision at the plate which cost Wilkesbarre run and pre- vented the breaking of the tie in the home teams favor. In the eighth Pitcher Mckinley, standing in the box. kicked up dust with his foot when Cleary called what looked like strike a ball. Cleary ordered Mckinley out of the game, and a base on balls and a hit gave Troy the winning run in the ninth. Then the trouble started.
