WILL SUE PFEFFER,
Tie Chicago Club Will Try and Hold Him
10 His Contract

The Chicago Club viii Try and Hold Him
10 His Contract.
CHICAGO. Oct. 81 Special. There will
probably be another famous baseball law
suit this winter, with the Chicago Club and
Fred Prefer rs the central figures, in the
Illinois courts. Under Clause 10 of the new
National League contract, clubs claim to
have a sure thing on the players they want.
The important clause reads as follows:
1T is hereby expressly understood and
agreed for the consideration above men
toned that the party of the first part shall
have the option or right TO renew this con-
tract, with all lis terms, provisions and con-
ditions, for another period of seven months,
beginning April l, 1891, and for similar
ueriod in five successive years thereafter
and the said party of the second part hereby
agrees TO perform similar services and be
subject to all the obligations, duties, and
liabilities prescribed in this contract for the
period or periods of such renewal or renew
ais, provided only that written notice of the
exercise Of such option of renewal be served
upon the said party OF the second part prior
TO the 5lst day of October of the current
wear OF this contract and of the current year
OF each renewal thereof
The written notice mentioned was served
on Pfeffer. The Chicago club has reserved
him. and Arson and Hart want him worse
than ever now that the American Associa-
ton has broken into Chicago Pfeffer is
popular and if he could be tied up with an
injunction the local association team would
be crippled.
An application for an injunction against
Ptefter playing with any except the Chicago
National League team will probably be
filed early, and another case similar to that
against ohm Ward will hold the attention
of the baseball world for months. Already
Pfeffer and the men behind him-a strong
group-have taken legal advice. The opin-
ion is that the option clause is defective.
10 contract because the Chicago League
club has agreed to paw him some S400 in
monthly instalments till February. 1892,
although the sums are really hGld-backs
from his salary for the season of 1891.

WON FREEDOM BY FRAUD.
A New Jersey Criminal VIII Probably
Spend Many Years in Prison.

A New Jersey Criminal Will Probably
Spend Many Years in Prison.
JERSEY CITY, Oct. PA new and most
remarkable feature in the case of Charles
B. Stoddard, now in jail for swindling by
means of forged checks on various persons
in the city, has just come to light. A little
less than two years ago Stoddard, then
masquerading under the name of Henry B.
Davis, was convicted of similar offences in
Nashville and was sent to prison for
six years. He was put to work In the
mines. This year. however, he obtained his
freedom by bold and ingenious ruse. The
discovery of this fraud has led Governor
Buchanan, of Tennessee, to make a requisi-
tion on Governor Albeit, of New Jersey.
Governor Buchanan few months ago re-
ceived petition purporting to be signed
by 80 of the leading residents of CovingtOn,
asking for Stoddard's release, accompanied
by letter presumably signed by NJ. w.
Babtist, of the firm of Babtist & Beadle,
well-known attorneys of that place. The
letter, which was forged, as we'll as the
signatures, weaves story of romance about
Stoddard, or Davis, and recites in detail
how he was the victim of conspiracy
planned and engineered by wicked and
avaricious stepfather, and abetted by the
latter's wicked brother The Governor not
only set him at liberty, but provided him
with money and a suit of clothers. The
fraud was only discovered when the Gov
ernor spoke to one of the supposed signc~3
of the petition. He denounced the whole
thing as a fraud, as investigation subse-
quently proved it to be. Stoddard's trial
will take place in few days and under the
laws of New Jersey he can be sent to prison
for ten years. After that he can be sent to
Tennessee, but not before.

of Detroit, and valued at 81, 600. Partly in
sured.
EIGHT trestles on the Central Railroad be-
tween Oconee and Sun Hill, have been
burned, and the fires have caused the great
est excitement. Investigation proved that
the tresties had been set on fire, and opinion
first attributed it to discharged employees OF
the Richmond and Danville system. Parties
also cut the telegraph wires in several
places. Two men named Horton, brothers
of the Horton who robbed the express train
near Savannah short time ago and is now
in Jail have been arrested.
AT Evansville, Ind, Monday night fire

death. A dozen dwellings and several bust

Their Best Men Hurt.

WILLIAMsTowN, Oct. 27.-The over
throw of Stages strong team on Weston
Field last Saturday was a revelation to
many of the strength of the Williams
eleven. But the team is now in hardly such
excellent condition as most persons think,
because of injuries sustained by some of the
strongest men. Garfield, who did such
brilliant work in "bucking the tiger" was
rather seriously hurt. and not able to prac-
tice to-day. This puts the two Garfelds on
the shelf Sawtelle, the big guard, who is
one of the most reliable men on the line
and indispensable in his position, was also
unable to take part in the practice game to-
dav With these men absent the team is
considerably weakened Garfield being the
only man who can work well in the backs
with Street. With matters as they are,
some apprehension is expressed regarding
the result of the game with Stevens next
Saturday

New YORK, Oct 27.-[Specia1 Peter
Maher, the Irish champion, who knocked
out Jim DAILY in Philadelphia on Saturday
night without much trouble, is anxious now
to get on match with some of the stars.
He arrived in this city last night, accom-
panied by Billy Madden. Madden went to
the newspaper Office where Jim Corbett has
a deposit of 81, 900 to fight any heavyweight
in the world. Madden made known his
business. The money was not accepted, the
reason given being that it was after banking
hours and it could not be placed in the safe,
as the cashier had gone home
Madden said cts just this way. After
Maher knocked DAILY out Corbett intimated
that he would like to have a chance at
Peter, just to convince the public that he
was his master. approached Corbett and
asked him if it was true that he wanted a
go with Peter. He shook his head and
laughed, and limited as much as if Peter
wasn't in his class. I couldn't get any
direct reply from him, so 1 came over here
to cover his deposit to show him that 1
mean business. This talk of his about Peter
not being in his class is all nonsense. If he
can whip my man as easily as he imagines
he can, why he can enrich himself to the
extent OF SIS, 900, and that's not to be picked
