GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM
Two Old Italians Imposed On.
rNKH YoKK RuRzAu sPEcrALa.I

NEW YORK, November 22-Two elderly
Italians to-day carried q little bundle, knotted
up in handkerchief. into the bank Of P. Capon-
Igri, in Mulberry street, and laid II on the glass
shelf before the receiving tellers window.
Slowly and carefully the knots were united.
The handkerchief was open, and exposed to
view was-a bundle of worthless paper The
eyes of the two Italians fairly bulged from their
heads. Both fell upon their knees, and with
innumerable "madre de Dios' and Santa
Marias" implored the return of their money.
It was some time before they could be quieted
but finally they managed to tell the story Of
how they had been robbed. They were work
ingmen, who had saved $3.50 between them
during their residence in America. This morn
ing they started for the bank to get their
money changed into Italian currency,
preparatory to sailing for the
old country tomorrow. A stranger Joined them
in the street and learned all about their plans
He persuaded them to accompany him into
small office in back alleyway, where he intro
duced his pal as q money changer. His pal
wrapped $500 mp in handkerchief and asked
the men how much money they had. One
pulled out 500 and the other $50 and this
money was handed to the new-tound friend,
he in turn giving them the handkerchief sup
posed to contain $500. In some way however,
paper had been substituted for the money, but
Of this factthe Italians were of course ignorant,
and they did not discover the fraud until they
arrived at Mr.. Caponigris bank. The police
are still looking for the swindlers. The game
in question is frequently played by an organ

for small stakes. Complaints are infrequent,

A Rod in Pickle for Mr.. Raum.

The war vets of Kings County have rod in

cause he has removed Major Harry Phillips
from the position of Chief of the Middle Divi-
sion Of the United States Pension Office. Major
Phillips was for several years almoner Of the
Brooklyn Bureau of Employment and Relief
Society, and acquired great reputation for
philanthropy among the widows and children
of his former comrades. Secretary Noble was
petitioned recently to retain Major Phillips. A
movement is on foot among Brooklyn vets to
file bitter protest, shortly. against the secre-
tary's action in the matter. Phillips was an

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Of Course New Raven Could Not Win Two Games in Succession-Horner fs HIS Hard, While Burns Is Very E6ective-TOmmy CorcoraR Plays Short.
 The New Ravens lost yesterdays game simply because the Lowells bstted Horner hard in two innings and the New Ravens could not hit the ball to any effect. Up to the sixth inning it was a pretty contest. Then the Lowells got their eye on the ball.
 Tommy Corcoran played short and made several pretty stops. He was evidently over anxious, but nevertheless did good work.
 Burdock did well as usual. It was pity the field. In one case he could easily have shut off run at the home plate, but Tommy Corcoran rushed in front of him and threw the ball to first.
 John Corcoran played poorly.
 There were lots of holes in the NewHavens' bats. After the third inning they did not make hit and in only one instance after this inning was ball batted outside of the dia- mond.
 In the first inning Day got his base on balls, took second on passed ball, third on Stalz's single and scored on an error of judg- ment by Tommy Coreoran when the man could just RS well nave been put out at the plate. Immediately after he made sp!en- did stop.
 In the second New Haven got two runs, but they should have got three. Tommy Corcoran got first on balls and stole second. Walsh got his base on balls. Burdock came to the bat and rapped out single. Corcoran scored. and although Walsh was told not to run home, he did so and was put out easily. Burdock scored on single by Cahill. In the fourth New Haven scored on fum- ble by Drischell of Walsh's hit, steal, 8 passed ball and an error by Kellogg.
 Two Lowell men got on their bases in this inning before anybody was out. Horner struck the next two out and Day was thrown out at first.
 Burdock cut off run in the fifth by throw ing to the plate.
 In the sixth the fun began. Kellogg got his base on balls and Murphy made two bagger. Day also sent the ball into the field for two bases and two runs were made, tieing the score.
 Lowell made another in the seventh on base on balls, sacrifice and a single. Four were made in the eighth on doubles by Dris- chell and Hamilton, sacrifice by Burns and errors by John Corcoran and Tommy Corcor- an. Score:
