make way with such a large amount without de

Most OF them said that In their banks the books
were gone over every little while by other men.
The set OF books kept by one man would be turned
over to another bookkeepcr for examination. and
although the clerks did not like this, the banks
felt the rrecauton necessary.

bankers said, and would probably lead a bank

 Change of Management Probable in the

 For several days there has been n quiet movement on foot looking to n change in the management Of the affairs of the local baseball team and the affairs have progressed so rapidly that it is now m assured fact that the change will take place in the near future. For some time past Manager Mckee hns been endeavoring to be relieved Of the management of tho club owing to the preas of his other business in conse- quenoe of which he has been unable 10 give the affairs of the club the attention they should have received.
 In consequence deal has been en- tered into whereby although Manager Mckee will continue to play on the team, he will be relieved of the oncrous duties of the management. His sue cessor will be Harry R. Durant of this city, formerly manager of the Yale law school team and the Acme team of Waterbury. Tho deal has not been entirely completed but will be either to- day or tomorrow.
 YESTERDAYS GAME.
 The Cuban Giants defeated the New Haven team at Savin Rock yesterday in one-sided contest, wherein the dusky players excelled in all departments of the game. The home team was of in their batting, usually one of the strong features of their game, and were unable to place any of their hits at n time when they were needed. The Giants played havoc with Winchell's delivery, who has heretofore been invincibie, and placed hits where and when they pleased. The fielding of both tenms was fine, while the Cubans scampered around the bases at will. The following is the score:
