As usual. no one had gone ashore for

BASEBALL CHAT.

There's little moral pointed ont by the sudden
storm Of Saturday, which should emphasize the
need OF an earlier start, especially In Saturday
games at the Polo Grounds In Brooklyn the game
began at 3 30 and was completed before the rain
came. In New York 1t was different.
Right here 4. the little lesson: Polo Grounds
patrons about 900, received rain checks because
the stipulated number OF innings had not been
played. Rain checks on Saturday. with tvs
games and a holiday to-day. meant that many
who would have paid to see one OF the saines to-
day VIII fnd their way to the grounds with tho
'holdover' tickets Had SATURDAYS game been
started at 3. 80 enough innings would have been
played To constitute full game.
Then there is another point. Chicago wac in
condition TO get good warming and New York
was In prime nN to give 1t and climb up step In
League standing.

Orange is now on and IIuyler Westervet Will not

OENOUNCE The SPIES.
Magistrates Kudlioh and Deuel.
Say They Are Unreliable.
Will Uphold Policemen in Uniform
Trying TO Secure Evidence.
But Will Issue SummOnsrs, Not
Warrants, for Offenders.

Magistrate Kudlich, at Yorkville Court.
this morning denounced the spy system
to secure evidence against violators of
the Excise law, but said he would up
hold the police.
In the case of oPrceman William L.
Purcell. OF the West Forty-seventh

Cuddy. twenty-seven years old. of 1875

securing evidence in excise cases. but
"A policeman in uniform seeking to legit-
imately ascertain II the law is being
violated should he upheld. and l am
going to help him.
Purcell said that he was on duty on
Seventh avenue, and saw that the
saloon at the southwest corner OF Sew
enth avenue and Forty-eighth street was
doing business. He entered the hall
door. which he found unfasteued. AS he
opened the door he caught a glimpse
OF the saloon through the side door.
which was slightly ajar. He had one
half OF his body through the opening
when Cuddy and another man sprang
at him and held him fast. AT the same
time Cuddv caught him by the throat
and chokcd him.
Purcell managed to get into the sa-
loon and placed Cuddy under arrest.
Cuddy denied the charge and said
that he merely went to the place to get
MS dinner. The Magistrate believed the
officers story and. after making the
sta atement above quoted. he'd Cudly for
