The West Side Hustlers journeyed to Greeneville Sunday _afternoon to play the Greeneville Wonders, and were defeated by the score of 10 to 3, in a game that had to be called at the end of the 4th inning on account of rain. The Greeneville boys would like a return game with the Hustlers, but they wish they would get a little stronger team next time to make it more interesting.

HOLMS, Dentist MARKET REMAINS STEADY Though War Stocks Drop With the Spread of Peace Rumors. New York, May 9.—For want of more definite or specific reasons, the uncertain trend and professionol tone of yesterday’s market were accepted as the logical outcome of recent events. ‘'Washington's reply to the Berlin note seemed to have been fully discounted, but the shifting phases of conditions south of the Rio Grande ‘were reflected in the compara- tive heaviness of Mexican issues. ‘War stocks followed a more con- sistent course, in that they displayed greater weakness with the spread of peace rumors. As a matter of fact, these rumors appeared to originate largely from interested sources, in- cluding what is technically known as “sold out bulls.” Certainly the inter- national list gave no hint of momen- tous proceedings abroad and the for- eign exchange markets conveyed no intimations of an approaching change. The most hopeful or constructive sign was furnished by the railway list, which figured to a greater extent than ordinarily in the day’'s opera- tions. Union Pacific was foremost among the standard shares, recording a maximum gain of 2 1-8 points, with lesser gains for St. Paul, Canadian Pacific, Reading and Lehigh Valley. Low_ priced rails more especially Rock Island and some of the issues Which once formed integral-parts of the Gould system were in general de- mand later. Rock Island rose 4 to 22 1-2, its best quotation for a very long time. Renewal of activity in these long dormant issues was made the occasion of much conjecture and gossip. Shipping shares again divided hon- ors with the automobile group. Mer- cantile Marines and United Fruit sug- gesting further accumulation by sub- stantial interests, with higher gquota- tions for Maxwell, Studebaker and U. S. Rubber. The motors fell away later, however, on failure of the Max- well directors to act on the common and second preferreq dividends. U. S. Steel fluctuated narrowly most of the day on reduced offerinss, clos- ing with a small net loss. Bethlehem Steel, on_a single sale, fell 19 points to 445. 'Weakness of United Railways fnvestment common and preferred made those issues the feature of the utilitles group.
