Hvaughn OF the Amateur Athletic Reds,
is not the best amateur pitcher in the
south, there are lots Of boys in Memphis
willing to 60 broke betting that heis. His
pitching yesterday has probably not,been
surpassed by any amateur in years, and if
there had been a backstop behind the bat
who could have held his lightning-like
delivery the probabilities are that the
Blues would have been shut out. Twenty
five strike outs and three hits is something
rarely witnessed, and surprising as il may
appear such was Vaughn's record yester
day. In the first three innings Graham
essayed TO hold him and the six runs made
in those innings were largely due to the
frequency with which passed balls followed
each other After the third inning young
Charlie Dammann went behind the bat and
:. for one OF his years did plucky and eff
fective work, only three passed balls being
charged to him in six innings, surprising
exhibit in view Of Vaughn's terrific speed.
Milburn pitched for the Reds and was
quito effective until the seventh and eighth
innings, when the Reds jumped on to
him and hammered out eight runs, win
ming game that everybody had given up
as lost. Milburn struck out eleven men
and yielded but thirteen hits, a fine show
ing for an amateur who has to face such
slugges as Tally, Hill, Q. Dammann,
Vaughn and Graham.
The victory OF the Reds was entirely due
10 their superior battery, as the Blues out
played them both in the field and in the
diamond. Durrett, second base; III. T..
Dammann, right field; Wood, middle field,
and Babb, short-stop, played faultlessly,
accepting every chance. Wood made q
catch which would have brought down
the stand had il happened in a league
game. lie caught fly after a long run
and fell backward, but gamely held
on 10 the ball and retired his
man. The play was not applauded
as II should have been, probably because

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May l9zThe game be-
tween the Chicagos and Philadelphias
today was an exciting and closely fought
contest, replete with good fielding and
hard hitting. II was decided at the bat,
the errors charged to either side having
little to do with the result. Gleason was
very effective up TO the seventh inning
and the Phillies then appeared to have the
game safe, but the Chicagos got in on his
pitching in the seventh and eighth innings
for five earned runs made from six singles
base on balls and home run. Van
haltern pitched 4 magnificent game, stIik-
ing out twelve of the Phillies. Three
brilliant double plays cut the visitors off
when in each case runs appeared certain.

DETROIT, Mich, May l0.-About 1000
people wiinessen a comedy Of errors today
in which the honors were easy. The
grounds were slippery and the temperature
lowered close TO the freezing point, condi-
tons which were largely responsible for
many OF the errors made. Ttcomb had
little or no command Of the ball, and was
poorly supported by Murphy in the second
inning, when the first run was scored by
Titcomb's failure TO stop low grounder,
two passed balls and wild pitch. Han
lon probably saved the game by remark

The French Correctional Tribunal
has passed Il severe sentence upon NJ.
Wilson. The Judge found him guilty
of obtaining money under false pre-
fences and therefore condemned him
20 ;w0 arS' Imprisonment, a fine of
Gl20, and deprivation of civil rights
for hv" yeers,-the latter part OF
the sentenc" di~qualifying him for
office, tor the Chamber, and for any
position of trust. Considering what
NJ. Wilson recently was, the sentence,
which involves social Infamy, IS a
severe one; but his offence was
equally great. He practically sold
his influence over the President for
money, and that in the basest of all
conceivable ways, employing all
mlnner OF dirty hangers-on to tout
for customers. NJ. Wilson has still
an appeal to the Court of Cessation,
and his father,in law, n of the most
competent of lawyers, is said to main
tain that the conviction is wholly
illegal. That will depend upon French
practice; but to English eyes, it looks
as if The law has been q title strained.
M. Wilson was condemned for OBJ
tanning money under false pretences )
but if he procured the decorations,
where was the false pretence He
only took a dishonOrablef commissions.
It is said, however, that there is a
precedent for the conviction, aud
that the Court of Cessation will only
