He informed reporter that mis- resignation as
an umpire of the American Association had been
accepted by President Mcknight, to take effect
to-day He has received number of letters
asking him to continue umpiring, but under no
consideration would he again appear on the field
in that capacity Valentine complains of the
conduct of some of the managers of clubs who
seek TO influence umpires before the game, and
who, if he does not act in accordance with their
unfair suggestions become bitter enemies of
the offending umpire. He states that it is this
more than anything else that led him to resign.
Il have been repeatedly approached in such
distasteful way, he says, that L don't care to
be an umpire any longer. | have even had them
to urge me to decide all doubts in their favor.

these managers have made things just as I'M
pleasant for me as possible ever since. When

The visiting manager approached me before the

elena Herald, june ~.
With reference to the fraudulent dispatch of
the Sth, the Herald, from the best of motives,
omitted the name of the Independent aItacho
shown to be responsible for it, believing from
information that he was but the creature used to
carry out the scheme of bigger and more
designing man. We are still satisfied in our own
mind that this is the true theory of the business
Notwithstanding the published card of Mr. Marks
and the disclaimer of Dr. Swallow We believe
We made no mistake in the statement of yester-
day save as to the matter Of attaching
the signature of Mr.. Hill to the
bogus message. Mr.. Marks, it appears, did
not go as far as that, but in delivering the dig
patch he distinctly represented to the operator
that it came from Mr. Hil which was false.
Further than this, Mr.. Marks, in direct contra
diction of his printed card. discussed the SUBJ
stance of the matter contained in the dispatch
represented as coming from Mr. Hill in the
presence of at least two other persons, of which
wesare informed Dr. Swallow was one. Further
STILL Mr.. Marks, contrary to his published
words, informed another person that the dis
patch had bJen read to and approved by
DR.. Swallow. We feel bound in honor
not to divulge the names of our informants
Their testimony in the first instance can and
probably will be got at otherwise than through
the Herald, and will fully and completely sus-
tain our statements Back of and at the bot
tom of this arrant piece of rascality and fraud
appears to be one who has overreached himself
in desperate attempt to attain Office, and who
would evidently stop at no game of chicanery to
effect his purpose. We have no feeling of resent
ment, but more of pity, for a creature who can
be used to carry out so malicious and mendacious
