In the morning game at Sachem park Memorial day between the C. A. C’s and the Stonington nine, Um- pire Donchue allowed Stonington one. more run than belonged to them be- cause he was not posted in the latest rules about scoring double plays. In the ninth, with men on secoad and third, Bowers knocked one to pitcher Zemke, which the twirler flelded home in time to catch McMahon coming in from third, Catcher McManus, then seeing a chance to nip Bowers who bad run on towards second, threw down to Tim Sullivan, who chased Bowers back towards first and tagged him out. Meantime Martin had crosse@ the plate, which Umpire Donohue al- lowed to count as & run. This was a bad baseball ruling, as 7'im Sulli- van had completed a double play, which closed the inning when he tag- ged Bowers put. Any ball player knows that a run can’t be scored on the third out, which was what happened in this case, al- though the runner came goross before the man was tagged out. This point i3 settled b ythe latest amendment to the scoring rules a double piay. In this it is givem in part of section 7, rule 85, that “a double play shall mean any two continuous put- outs that take place between the time the ball leaves the pitcher's hands uin- til it is returned to him again stand- ing in the pitcher’s box.” This makes the play in question a double and the inning was over, Narragansett Reds Ask Hospitals to Reply.

Steel on Paris Bourse Gives Spurt to Speculation, New York, June 1.—A fillip was given to the speculation by the report- ed action being taken towards listing the United States Steel securities on the Paris bourse. The seemingly end- less supplies of capital accumulations in France which seek profitable em- ployment direct the longing gaze of all romoters and security dealers to that nviting fleld. But French capital is as conservative as it 1s abundant and it is only the favored few of foreign enterprises that have ever secured a foothold in the investment favor of the masses in France, who control vast ag- Ereutaa of capital in small holdings. he formation of A syndicate to intro- auce the United States Steel segurities to the Paris bourse under such capa- ble auspices as those reported to the Associated Press represents a more se- rious effort than any hitherto made to overcome the many difficultles and in- tricacies of the bourse regulations and the French laws applylng to foreign securities in that market. The pros- pect of United States Steel being listed on the Paris bourse appealed to the speculative imagination. The price of that stock rose to 65 5-8 within a short time after trading began, compared with a previous record price of 64 3-8 at which it left off on Friday after a three-point rise on that day. The price touched in London earller in the day represented a New York parity of about 67. This rate of advance might be supposed to invite some effective profit taking, however well justified by new conditions. Profit taking sales were in fact on & very heavy scale. The influence of the rise in'Steel was supplemented by the renewal of im- portant sveculative operations in other important stocks. Union Pacific sig- nalized the departure of the head of that system for Europe by a rise of 2 1-2 points. The strength of the stock was not impaired by the showing of a decreagk of net earnings for April com- pared with last year, the growth in operating cost having exceeded the in- crease in gross earnings The growing ratio of increase in operating expenses of railroads shown in each successive month ig quite logically due to the progressive decrease In that item which was going ‘on last year, and the rall- road companies gained control of the situation offered by the industrial and commercial depression and cut their ouliay to correspond. There were other mark-d advances in eompany with ('nited States Steel and Union Pacing, hot the upward movement did not be- come uniform at any stage and suf- fercil decided res t in the dullness of the later trading. The stress laid by Mr. Harriman on the crop results to insure -the expected degree of trade revival directed added attention to the strength of the wheat market and to some further unfavorable crop news from the southwest.
