Manager Long, of the Our Boys ball club. in
long and plain letter to this paper, replies to
the statement of the manager of the Crockerys
which appeared in this paper regarding the
alleged unfairness of the umpiring of last Sat
urday's ball game between the two teams. Mr..
Long argues that the Crockerys never sub
mitted to decisions that were objected to by
the Our Boys. The most important feature is
that Mr.. Fitzsimmons, one of the umpires.
states that he retired because of the incivility
and yulgarity of the Crockerys. He is pre-
pared to make affidavit to this effect.
GBoth sides having been heard, this contro-
versy must now cease

FIGHTING THE POOL ROOMS.

From the Brighton Beach Track.

From the Brighton Bench Track.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, August S-The Western Union
Telegraph Company is said to have removed
its wires from the Brighton Beach race track
at Coney Island to-day This action, following
SO closely upon the trouble at Monmouth Park,
indicates that the war between the racing asso-
ciations and the pool rooms has only begun.
The bookmakers doing business in the city
claim that they are put to no Inconvenience by
the movement, and maintain that they will do
business at track odds despite the racing asso-
Citations. The Brighton Hotel is close enough to
the race track to get the winners off promptly
to the different rooms. The pool rooms in
town bobbed up serenely to-day with results
from Monmouth Park races, despite the fact
that no wires were run from the park.
The Western Union has a regular office at
Eatontown, which is about a mile and q half
from Monmouth. The obliging Secretary of
the track gave out word that he had swift
horse and buggy at the disposal of all who
wished to send messages, and his courtesy was
largely availed of after each race. The West
ern Union people will make no other arrange
ments for the Transmission of news from the
park. They will accept all business at Eaton
town.

NOT A PROPER COMPARISON.
There is no comparison between the service
for the newspapers (even the special rates to
one newspaper) and messages transmitted for
the Government. A special message Of 1,5OO
words would make 50 Government messages of
&c words each; each message requiring a separ
ate checking. booking, numbering. routing, en-
veloping and special delivery. We often have
a special news report of 5000 words or more,
equal to over l66 messages of 30 words each,
while our commercial and social messages
average but about IL words, including address
and signature.
rate to the public was 43 610 cents per message.
Last year it was 81 2-l0 cents per message-the
reduction to the public being something less
than 30 per cent. In the same period the cost
to the company of handling messages has been
reduced from % 8 10 cents per message to % 2-l0
cents, being about 20 per cent So that the re-
duction on the Government service has been
2L times greater than the reduced cost of
handling the message and twoffths greater
than the reduced rate on commercial messages.
The sum of 1t all is that the Government has
given ,us nothing that cost the Government
anything or that was of any value to the Gov
ernment to retain. nothing that has not
been worth more to the Government
and the %ors Sbs
alton therefor. the Government, by its reserved
