An Investigation of Affairs at ths
 Soldiers Home.

An Investigation of Affairs at the
 Soldiers Home.
 The soldiers hospital board has par tiallv investigated the affairs at the Sol diers' home at Noroton and the alleged mismaragemento of Dr .Munson. While no report will be officially made until Governor Bulkeley returns from his va cation enough is known to show that gross misrepresentation has been made. The board has found that no misappro- priation of property has occurred. The only picture missing is pastoral scene entitled "The Lambs," which had been bought and paid for by Judge Alfred B. Beers of Bridgeport.
 The members of the hospital board found Dr Munson's accounts correct, and Colonel George M. White gave him a check for $3O3. A, the balance due fol his services to the Soldiers home.
 Editor Byington of the Norwalk Gazette, in which paper the charges against Dr Munson were printed, was present at the investigation and now says in his paper that he was satisfied that the charges made were untrue, at the time they were made. He received his South Norwalk Grand Army post, and thinks the G. A. R. men were also satis- fled as to the truth of the charges. He now says, however, that he is convinced that there was no foundation for the allegations, as he has learned that the missing pictures are still at the institu- tion, although they were taken from their places and stored away in an attic.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
Review of the Base Ball Season Up t.
 August 1.

Review of the Base Ball Season Up to August 1. An authority on base ball, reviewing the National league season up to and in
 cluding August 1. when the eastern and
 we tern clubs completed their third
 series with each other, finds that Cleve- land has won but two out of thirteen won more from Chicago than any team
 except New York. Yet Cleveland has beaten Pittsburg nine out of fourteen. Of the clubs, New York has won the | most consecutive games, ten; Boston
 nine, Brooklyn eight and Chicago seven. Of the pitchers, Rusie has won the | most consecutive games, eight; Hutch
 lnson has proved to be the most remark
 able pitcher, replacing Anson's other
 pitchers when they were being batted all over the field and winning the game. How Anson has held first place with
 only one pitcher against Boston and | New York is the wonder of the season, and now Gumbert is in his cid form, it | will probably be hard to drive him from | first place.
 Cleveland is the only club that has not shut out it's opponent.
 Chicago has received the worst beat | ing, 13 O, by Boston, and Cleveland has | made the most runs in one game, beat ing Cincinnati 23-7.
 Chicago is the first club to win the
 series from another club, winning from Cleveland and Cincinnati. The two heaviest batting teams in the
 league, New York and Brooklyn, have
 been shut out without hit and by each l others pitchers, Lovett and Rusie. New York and Boston have played
 the only tie game of the season on May g, at Boston.
