TAYLOR STREET WINS
FROM EAST AMERICAS

Nine to five was the score of yester-
days game between Taylor street AMI
East Americas, two fast amateur teams
of the city. The Taylor boys were the
winners and their victory came as the
result of the good pitching of Lump
kin, who had the East Americas crew
guessing all the way.
So far each of the teams have won
a game apiece. Saturday they will de-
eide the championship of the city down
at Muckalee Park, when they will play
their fifth game. The batteries in yes
terday's game were Lumpkin and
Crabb for Taylor, and Pantone and
Pettis for East Americas.

THAWS FIGHT
STARTS AGAIN

Washington, D. c., June 4.-Harry
K. Thaw's fight against being return
ed to Matteawan reached the supreme
court yesterday on an appeal from the
decision of Judge Aldrich, of the fed
eral district court for New Hampshire
against Thaw's extradition on the de-
mand of New York state officials.
AS soon as the case is formally
docketed, probably this week, it is be-
lieved an application will be made for
Thaw's release on bail while his case
is pending before the supreme court.
Justice Holmes has been assigned to
business arising in the New England
state, and application for Thaw's re-
lease probably would be made to him.
He has authority to grant the release
with or without bail, to deny the re-
lease or to refer the application to the
entire court.
In the ordinary course the case
would not be considered by the court
Tor nearly two years. 1t might be a1-
