A POLITICIAN FOOLED.
PoCoCK NOT CALLED TO CANTON FOR
AN APPOINTMENT.

Governor-Elect Mckinley Wanted to Know
Why the Soldier Once Voted for Camp
ber-Discovery of q Ten-TaIe Letter
Caught Dead to Rights.
COLUMBUS, O., Dec 13.-[Special IA
sensation underlies McKinley's delay in
announcing his appointment for Adjutant
General The Governor-elect had virtually
decided to place Colonel f j. Pocock at
the head of the State militia Pocock's
friends were given to understand he had
drawn the prize, and with light heart he
went to Canton Friday. in response to a
telegram from Mckinley requesting per-
sonal interview.
Colonel Pocock had no other thought than
that the great ambition of his life was about
to be realized. He expected upon his ar
rival the new Governor would formally
tender him the appointment Great was his
surprise, however, when he learned he had
been summoned for "a far different purpose.
Colonel Pocock had not been in Canton
more than a half hour before he discovered
he had struck snag. Governor Mckinley
had summoned him to explain away
charge that had been filed against him Just
in time to nip his aspirations in the bud.
1t seems as soon as it became apparent
Pocock was to receive the appointment, a
well known Columbus politician, who was
championing the candidacy of another
Pocock's political record. The result was
more than gratifying, as it developed
Pocock had not always fbeei= AS true as
steel 1t was learned, so it is claimed, that
Pocock refused to support Foraker in the
Gubernatorial campaign oe 1889 and instead,
voted for Campbell. This was regarded as
Sufficient evidence TO use in precluding the
possibility of Pocock being chosen for the
place, and n delegation of Columbus citi-
Zcns who are opposed to him left for Canton
to protest against his appointment. They
laid the ma tier before Mckinley.
1t is said that when Pocock was informed
of the charge he was inclined to demur The
proof of his backsliding was forthcoming,
however. as a letter was unearthed in which
the Colonel stated he had cs st his vote for
Campbell in preference to Foraker, This
letter was written by Pococl< to Campbell,
and was in the form of q recommendation
for the appointment of one of the Colonel's
friends to Office under the Campbell admin
istration. In the letter the Colonel states he
thinks he is deserving of especial considera-
tion from Governor Campbell, because he,
although a Republican, cast his vote for
Campbell. Governor Mckinley told PococN
the charge against him must be dis proved,
and gave him three days in which to pro-
duce the evidence for the defense.
Notwithstanding the sensational episode,
and the effort to put Pocock away, it is the
opinion of the better judges that Pocock
will be named for the position tomorrow.

A BASEBALL PLOT THAT FAILED.
The I2-League Club scheme Knocked in
the Head by President Williams

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. l3.-Up to yesterday
morning ii looked as If the the one-league
12-club scheme would be certainty. Presi-
dent Williams, of the Chicago club, how
ever, started East and he soon removed the
charm. He arrived here last night and had
an extended interview with the Wagner
brothers. First Chris Won der Abe was ap-
preached, and he was assured that the Wag-
ners and Prince was willing to quit. Then
Nj. Wagner was assured that Mr.. Williams
was ready to retire Care was taken that no
two were operated on at the same time.
The scheme provided for the retirement
of the Boston and Athletic Clubs, the re-
funding to the Chicago Association Club of
ali the money that it had expended, and
the addition of Louisville and st. Louis to
League circuit. At st. Louis Mr.. Won der
Abe was to have the privilege of charging
only Is cents admission and playing Sunday
games.

The record of the Pittsburg club for 1881 the
best in one respect, the clubs teams have ever
shown in the League. though it ended the season
in the last ditch in the pcnnant race But the team
played stronger games in 1871 than before and
especially with the New York and BROOKLYN teams,
they won their entries with New York, and had
the best OF it with the Brooklyns besides tIerg
their series with the Cincinna5is Like the Cincin-

TOMMY RYAN STILL CHAMPION.
He Whips Howson, the Enc1ishman in
Remarkably Fair Fight.


CHICAGO Dec l3.-"Tommy" Ryan is still
the champion welter-weight of the world.
He retains this title after 14-round fight
with Frank Howson, of Sheffield, England,
fought near this city this morning. From a
professiona. and scientific standpoint the
contest was beauty.
After the third round parties. ducks and
counters were too thick to. cause comment.
The battle was remarkable for its fairness.
Not a single call of foul was made: not an
passed between the contestants. Ryan
emerged from the fight unscathed while his
opponent has one eye nearly knocked out
and one cheek laid open. Howson. while as
quick as a cat. was unable to hit hard. and
showed the bad effects of too much training.
Ryan displayed by far the best generalshIp.
The fight was for $1,000 side and the well
ter-weight championship. and was witnessed
by about 800 people. Ryan vas the favorite
in betting.
