Owner Weiss Secures De- troit Tigers With Ty Cobb In Outfield for Friday

TO HONOR TICKETS
The Postponement of Babe Ruth's Appearance Due to Stopping of Game
 On Tuesday

Because of a postponement in New York, Tuesday, the New York Americans with Babe Ruth in the batting order, will not play in New Haven tomorrow, but on Friday Own ner Weiss has arranged to have the Detroit Tigers play at Weiss park. De- troit will have Cobb hand.
 Plans had all been arranged for the game with the Yankees tomorrow after the regular Bridgeport-NeW Haven game at ? o'clock. The New Haven management received word last night, however, that New York would htave to remain in New York owing to the postponement and for this req son was forced to cancel the exhibi- ton game.
 On Friday afternoon Springfield will be the Eastern League attraction be- fore the exhibition game with De- troit. The double header tickets purchased for the Yankee game will be honored on Friday or redeemed if mailed to the New Haven baseball club before Thursday night.
 A large number of Bridgeport fans had planned attending the double head tom morrow afternoon, but whether they will carry out their plans for the Detroit game is a ques- tion. Babe Ruth was the big at- traction and it is hardly likely that Ty Cobb will be able to take his place.

TRIES TO CROSS FEM
Emerick and ,Lai Turn In, Fine Plays During Double
 Bill at Park Yesterday

In winning the double header at Newfield park yesterday afternoon, the Bridgeport club showed itself to be strong in both attack and on the defense. The pitchers worked finely and with a continuance of that kind of play Bridgeport will be up there fighting when the honors are passed out at the end of the season.
 One of the features of the game yesterday was the respect of Kay Grimes that Albany holds. In the first game he got two hits out of three times up and the last time he faced the pitcher he was intentionally walk ed. The word must have been passed to the pitchers that every time this fellow steps to the plate and man on bases he must be walked.
 In the second game he walked to the plate three times when there were men on bags and three times he was intentionally passed. In the seV- enth inning he was the first man ID the inning to face Martin, a college pitcher, and the latter took a chance with him. The way the slugger belted the ball back at him nearly knocked Martin off his feet and probably gave the pitcher the satisfaction in know ing that he can hit them hard
 During the two games yesterday | Grimes walked four times. once ne stepped out and batted at a, wide pitch but did not get hold of the ball. It was one of those kind that Grimes | usually hits a mile or more.
 Emerick turned in a nice catch of Dameron's fly ball in the first in- ming of the second game. while Lal | made fine stop and throw or | Sweatt's grounder in the third round. Lai robbed Herring of a hit in the I fifth session.

sponsible for the success of undertaking

Wall Street, New York, April r.
Events over the weekend, particularly
the extension of the railroad strike, wero
reflected in the irregular to heavy tone OF
the stock market at the opening OF today S
trading.
Steamship shares and food issues, the
strong features of last Saturdays session,
forfeited a point or more. Some of the
oils, equipments, steels and rails reacted
one to almost two points.
Motors and their specialties also yielded,
the entire list becoming more unsettled
within the first half hour.
NooN-Thc market remained irregular
during the morning. many speculative
favorites bcing under further pressure:
Crucible steel lost seven points, General
Motors 3ls, oils one to three and equip
ments and related specialties about as
much.
Shippings and food shares also second
ary metals were the only issues, to show
consistent support extending recent adj
yanccs.
Substantial improvement followed be-
fore noon on initial offerings of call money
nc 6 per cent against last week S final rate
of 10 per cent.
This was offset, however, by the weak
ness of foreign exchange and bcaviness
