 Game of Season

Jack Schmitz held the Vets to two hits and two runs last night while the Moose pounded Junge for 12 solid smashes, including a home run by Grummett, and won 6 to 2 in the fastest played game of the season. The Moose played almost errorless ball, one error by Ramsay in the first frame being the only pebble.
 That miscue gave the Vets their only runs. Allen flied to left and Ramsay ran in too far, letting the ball pass through his hands. Allen made third and scored on Boyd's triple to right center. Boyd scored on Worth's roller to third, beating Grummetts throw to the plate.
 Moose Tie in First
 The Paps knotted the count in their half of the first on an error and three hits. Bill Schmitz open ed the fireworks with a two-baser to right on the first ball Junge threw. He went to third on wild pitch Fred Schmitz was out on his grounder to first, Andrews un- assisted
 Collins s ma he d grounder through second to center, scoring Bill, and took third when Allen let the ball roll between his legs. Col lins scored on Killewich's single to left

Hildebrand Holds 'Em Up

Young Master Oral Hildebrand won his first six games in row and paced the Cleveland pitching staff until the Yankees chose to emerge from their slugging slump by pounding him out of the box at the Yankee Stadium.
 Since judgment on any pitchers prowess cannot be based on what the world champions do to his de- livery, there is no reason to alter the belief that Hildebrand ranks with the best young pitchers now employed in the American League.
 He has courage, speed and a change of pace, essentials to any

Unless the Cleveland Indians re- cover their lost or astigmatic bat ting eyes, Wesley Cheek Terrell will have more difficult time than usual collecting his annual quota of 20 or more victories, which may further distress him for the req son he is working for the first time on a bonus-clause cotract.
 Under it's terms Terrell receives a flat $12,000 for the 1883 season, plus $3,000 if he posts victory No 20 in the standing of the pitchers.
 The big North Carolina finger recovered quickly from a kink in his right shoulder but had the misfortune to drop three somewhat close decisions in a row on Cleve- lands first eastern trip. In these three games the Indians collected grand total of only five runs off the Washington, Philadelphia and New York pitching, so that Terrell did not have anything like decent margin to work on.
 His toughest setback was at the Yankee Stadium, where he waged runless duel with Lefty Gomez for seven innings, only to have the world champions slide over three counters in the eighth to settle the outcome In the opinion of Clevelands general manager, Billy Evans, this losing performance was, nevertheless, Ferrell's best game of the spring.
 Yves had a lot of stuff and his fist ball was really fast for the first time this year" said Evans Hes in good shape and despite bad breaks so far I look for him to win at least 20 games for us again. He has averaged about g for four straight seasons, a record that is surpassed only by the great MT. Grove.
 By the way Grove looked as good against us as ever. We didn't get much more than couple of loud fouls off him at Philadelphia. |"

 If our hitters will only snap out of it and do as well as our pitch CTS, we will have something to say yet about the pennant," asserted Evans, but we have to admit that playing in the new municipal sta- dium at Cleveland will cut from 20 to 40 points off most of our batters' marks this year.
 Take fellow like Earl Averill, who hit over 30 home runs last year. He has hit only one so far. Drives that used to be good for the circuit in our old park are iust big flies on our new grounds. But it will be just as tough for he visiting clubbers, too, and vet rams like Babe Ruth, who are lowing up, will find it difficult 'overing so much extra ground"

NEW YORK. May 6 GNS0
The Stock Market suffered its
first serious setback in more than
a week today, slumping l to 4
points, on rumors that President
Roosevelt would uphold sound
money on the air tomorrow and
take the wind out of the infla,
tionists' sails"
Selling pressure was augmented
by a top-heavy speculative Struc-
ture and a sharp rally in the
dollar after it crashed to new
lows in the early dealings.
The market closed with a sell
ing rush which sent the high
speed ticker several minutes be-
hind.
Recent speculative leaders, such
as American Can, U. S. Steel,
Case Threshing, United Aircraft,
Allied Chemical, American Tele-
phone, and the Rails led the
decline.
An effort was made to rally the
market in the second hour under
the leadership of the carrier

than $4,000 cars in the weeks

quickly and the decline got under
way in earnest. The market
