STILL MAKING TROUBLE.

Edward f. Linton Not Through Yet With the
Brooklyn Baseball Magnates.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-Edward F. Linton, who
came out of the recent squabble in the Brook.
lyn (P. P.) club with flying colors, and with
over S, 600 in cash in his grip. had conference
yesterday with George F. Chauncey at the lat
ter's Office in Brooklyn. Just what advice Mr..
Linton gave Mr.. Chauncey as 20 the right card
to play in order to get out of the way is not
known. and will not be until the meeting of the
stockholders tomorrow.
A baseball man who knows all the inside de-
tails of the doings of the Brooklyns Qimited)
said yesterday: II think Chauncey is some
what inclined to weaken since his scheme has
been made public. All last season Linton and
he were hand in hand. Both are Joint owners
in real estate interests in the Eastern district,
and they thought if they could get all the ben
efts arising out of the club going to Eastern
Park without shouldering any of the risk that
they would be in great luck. Their scheme was
to make the Wall street men pay for the whole
business and assume every bit of the risk. So
FAR. Linton and several other stockholders
have worked the scheme successfully. 1t re.
mains now to see what Chauncey will do.
II don't think he can afford to do anything
rash. The people in the Eastern district want
the club to play at Eastern Park, and If
Chauncey blocks the consolidation they will
not forget il. For that reason think he will
not be able to get ont of the club and make
MessIs, Goodwin. Wallace and Robinson pay
him 5000 or $1,000.
"Chauncey can get out easily and get every
cent he has invested in the club. providing
MesSrs. Goodwin, Wallace and Robinson
should not wish to lose all they have put in il.
Chauncey has only to see Attorneys Bergen &
Dykeman. who will issue an injunction. the
same as they did to Linton. and serve it on the
club before the stockholders meet tomorrow.
But these three men see how they were fool
ishly worked in settling with Linton, ard they
do not propose to be duped again."

MORE GREAT POOL PLAYING.
Messrs. Clearwater and kuntzsch Continue
Their Match Amid Much Excitement

Messrs. Clearwater and kuntzsch Continue
Their Match Amid Much Excitement
Another large and representative audience
asse mbled at the Grand Central Rink last
evening to witness the continuation of the pool
match between Kuntzsch, of Syracuse. and
w. H. Clearwater, the champion of Ohio.
There was some very brilliant playing but
mostly on the part OF the Ohio representative.
1t is seldom that Pittsburgers have an oppor-
tunity to see such excellent pool playing as the
two experts can show, and Clearwater even
outshone himself last evening.
kuntzsch was somewhat out of form. He
started off badly and although he a few times
made some very brilliant plays he also got
little ratified and there was evidence of con-
siderable rivalry among the parties interested.
This apparently affected the Syracuse man and
he played far below his standard. On the other
hand Clearwater played in rare form and kept
on pocketlng the balls until he was nearly 100
ahead. 1t is no exaggeration to say that Clear
water played very great game, and it seemed
QIite an easy task for him to pocket the Is balls
straightaway.
When the match was resumed last evening
the score stood: Kuntzsch, 1914; Clearwater,
200. There was some delay in selecting a
referee. Finally Mr.. Harry Ricketsberg. of
Philadelphia, was agreed upon. In the first
frame Clearwater took the lead by 10 to and
from hatincreasee his lead At times the excite
ment was quite lively and partisan feeling kept
everybody interested. 1t is only fair to say that
kuntzsch played in very hard luck, and this
tended 10 cause him to lose his temper little.
The evenings play finished with the score
standing: Clearwater, 200; kuntzsch, 81, for
the night. The total score is: Clearwater, 400;
Kuntzsch, 27S.
The match will be finished this evening, and
play will commence at So'clocK. That there
will be some unusually good pool playing there
is no doubt. 1t is stated that If Clearwater
wins the match he will be willing to play any
man in the United States.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHy
FINDLAY, o., Jan. 3O.-Fire at an early
hour this morning nearly wiped out the
business section of the town of Cygnet, a
village in the oil regions north of this city,
and burned to death Michael Slattery, Con-
rad Msloney and his daughter. Gertrude
Maloney. The fire started in frame build
ing occupied as a millinery store by Mrs.
Conrad Maloney, and probably caught from
a gas jet which was burning near the cell
ing. The three persons who lost their lives
were sleeping in a room over the millinery
establishment, and 1t is doubtful If they
ever awakened from their slumbers, as the
house burned like tinder, and was in ashes soon
after the fire alarm was sounded. Nothing of
the remains of the unfortunates was found
in the ruins except the thigh bone of the
child.
Mrs. MaIoney and a 5year-old child. who
were sleeping In 4 rear room back of the store,
barely escaped with their lives their night
clothes being scorched by the flames From
the millinery store the fire swept along the
street, destroying with the contents the barber
shop OF William Davis the grocery store of
Herman d. Hahn. the drygoods and clothing
store of W. II. Belknap and the hardware and
oil we'll supply store OF the Buckeye Oil We'll
Supply Company, owned by Shaw, Kendall &
Co., of Toledo. At this point the fire burnt
itself out for the want of new material.
In nearly all the stores clerks and others
were sleeping, and many had narrow escapes.
Among those who suffering from burns
and are in a critical condition are Mrs. Conrad
Maloney, Jacob Fenberg, w. A. Millburn and
George A. Southwick. 1t is impossible to give
individual losses, but the total will be about
supply stock. which Is sufficient to cover their
loss of $50, ,00O.
