The Colts Hit Their Pitcher Eard and De-
feat the Climax Team in the News
boys Benefit Gnme-Baker
Does Very Well
Some very chilly weather greeted the ball
game for the benefit of the proposed Newsboys'
Home yesterday afternoon at Recreation Park
The game was between the local National
League club and the Climax aggregation of the
Southside. There was interest added to the
contest, however, by the fact that Sowders and
Miller. of the n. L. team were loaned to the
Climax club. This was interesting because it
would to some extent give admirers of the colts
an idea of what they could do against a
National League pitcher. They pounded Sow
ders quite merrily
The cold weather kept the attendance down
TO 80 persons, but numerous tickets were
bought by people who did not attend the game
Altogether it was estimated that about sl50
would be realized for the laudable enterprise
above mentioned. Few people, however care
about going to baseball game on a raw and
cold day. This was the case yesterday and
although the early part of the contest was very
close few people were in a humor to appreciate
IT. At the end of four innings the score
was two each, but from that stage on to the
finish the Climax aggregation was not in the
fight
in detail. Sowders was hit hard and often after
the fourth inning, while the opposing team
could do little or nothing with Baker. OF the
five hits made off his delivery Miller had three
TO his credit. This would indicate that the
promising young twirler may not do so well
when facing the older sluggers of other Ma
tional League teams. 1t is but fair to remark
that Sowders was pitching for a weak fielding
team. Had ne been supported by his own col.
leagues certainly the hits would not have been
so numerous. Pennington. though three errors
are recorded against him, did 6 me splendid
work at short. Smith also took good care of
first base in an admirable manner For the
Pittsburgs Wilson did well at first base and
Berger supported Baker in excellent STYLE
The Southsiders were completely ouiplayed at
ali points and that tells the whole story. Fol-
lowing is the full score:

4 COSTLY SECRET.
An Intimaiion That Judge Hilton Knew
Facts That Put A. T. Stewart in
His Power-A Newspapers
Sausafional Cha rpPs.
Sensational Charges.

Sensational Charges.
NEW YORK, April 14.-The World this
morning contains q sensational three column
article, purporting to give "the opening
chapters in curious tale of cotemporaneous
society,"" Speaking of the famous house OF
A. T. Stewart & Co., the writer says it has
been blotted out as completely as II 1t had
never existed. A vast amount of other prop.
erty. including mills that employed thousands,
as well as buildings land and mines, it is stated
all long ago vanished from the account of
Stewart to that of Hilton. The intimation is
made that Judge Hilton was in possession of a
secret involving the character reputation and
vast business of the merchant prince Stewart.
The article details the history of HIlton's con-
nection with the law firm. with which he was
associated, until he became Stewards counsel
1t goes on: 1.-THE firm dissolved in 1874, and
after that Judge Hilton had no office save at
Stewards store. In two years from that date,
Stewart was dead and Hilton was Stewartr'
Hilton's salary, the World states, was S., 600
year. and then asks: as it not strange that at
this period in the life of Stewart, when he was
at the height of his renown as merchant. the
vast services which we are told Henry Hilton
performed for him were compensated for by
the payment of meagre S.. 900 year and two
semi-annual checks of $500 each? What be-
comes of the pretense that has been put for
amass the immense fortunes which MIR. Choate
declared in court of law Henry Hilton had
Taken?
THE Hilton following claim that the Judge
was an important factor IN the accumulation of
the Stewart fortune. What is there in this
claim? 1t is known to all the world that a vast
portion of the fortune had been rolled up in
the early sixties. And we have it on the au-
thority of Mr.. Hopkins, who paid Hilton his
salary, that his stipend then was only 81, 900
year and S., 600 additional given in two checks
every six months Mr.. Stewart it should be
remembered, had then three partners One
was Mr.. Libby. another Mr.. Warden and the
third Mr.. Fox. What were they doing? Why
were they partners in the great hou>e2
And there were at least score of men who
were heads of departments. Was it Hilton,
or they, who were converting threads and rib
bons and laces, silks and vevets and cottons
and woolens into bright and shining gold at the
rate of millions of dollars year? There was
not single head of one of these departments
who, at the time we are speaking about was
not drawing larger income from the Stewart
business. If Hilton has not destroyed the
books of the firm, as he destroyed the principal
one of them later on after Stewards death, the
figures of Mr.. Hopkins and his staff OF account
is will prove the truth of this assertion. The
case will be reopenedr'

The Metropolitan Force Makes an Attempt
TO Close Poolrooms.
,sPrc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
New YORK, April 1.-THE police made
feint at closing some of the poolrooms to-day,
the last day of the winter racing. Eleven pool
rooms were raided on the West Side, and the
clerks who sold tickets on the Clifton races
we're arrested. The raids did not close the
places, but made the doorkeepers more eau
tious, and only regular patrons were admitted
after the visit by the police. The RAID is moth
ing to the keepers of these rooms in
comparison with the danger of being
frozen out from news from the track of
the New Jersey Jockey Club at Elizabeth. The
poOlrooms could do no business unless they re-
ceived the entries for the events and the re-
suits from the course as the sport progresses.
The programme for Elizabeth will not be maue
known until an hour or so before the racing
begins and the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has been denied facilities at the track.
The meeting begins tomorrow, and 1t remains
to be seen whether the Western Union will be
able to secure the winners by means of opera
tors who signal from the track to others out
side the fence within easy reach of an instru-
ment President DIVERS idea is to make the
bookmakers who wish to do business on the
Elizabeth races go to the track and pay for the
privilege of doing so.

COULDN'T THROW HIS MAN.
Jess Clarke Fails in His Attempt to Down
Ed Reilly.

Ed Reilly won the wrestling contest between
himself and Jess Clarke last evening. 1t took
place at Millvale and the attendance was not
large. Clarke undertook to throw Reilly twice
in 45 minutes and failed to throw him at all
Clarke was about 20 pounds heavier than
Reilly, and the latter wrestled at 134 pounds
The little fellow strong favorite.
There was some difficulty in selecting a
referee, anG finally a stranger to both parties
was chosen. For few minutes Reilly acted on
the defensive but he soon assumed the ag-
gressive but was stopped in that by his second,
Billy Simpson. Toward the finish Clarke be-
came winded and he hadn't the least chance to
throw his resolute antagonist. AT the close of
the contest the Reilly party offered to bet SIS
that their man could throw Clarke within l5
minutes There were no betters however,
Reilly is one of the promising lightweight
catch-as-catch-can wrestlers in the country.
