RUSIE CASE DECIDED.
National League Directors Declare
That the Freedman Fine was Right.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 29-The board Of
directors Of the National league held a
meeting in this city today and decided
that the fine of 500 imposed on Pitcher
Amos Rusie last year at Baltimore for
alleged drunkenness by President
Freedman. of the New York club, was
just and proper.
Oliver Tebeau. manager-captaino of the
Cleveland team, was also remembered
by the directors, and will receive a let
ter informing him that he has been
fined 5000 for gross misconduct on the
ball field, and if he does not settle with
in ten days he will be ineligible to play
on any league grounds. The session,
which was secret. lasted five or six
hours

DIAMOND DUST.

Tomorrow Scranton will play at Cort-
land.
Wilkes-Barre was the only visiting club
to win yesterday.
The Barons have won three of seven
games on the trip.
Umpire Keefe is back at work in the Ma
tional. He otiiciated at Chicago yester-
day, and that don't look as though he
would come into the Eastern.
Pitcher Herman, recalled by Louisville
from Rochester, didn't have very good
luck yesterday in his first game after his
return to the big league. He gave Gin
cinnati twenty-five hits.
The Wilkes -Barre-Scranton series will
be as follows: AT Scranton Thursday; at
Wilkes Barre. Friday; at Scranton. Sat

as named, will play here two games each
beginning next Monday.
The batting order was changed yestcr-
day. Ward was changed from fourth to
the head of the list; Latham was dropped
from first to second; Eagan from sixth
to seventh. Mcguire, who has been aver
aging nearly two hits game, was showed
up to fourth between Meaney and O'Brien.
Eagan has not been hitting much better
than $50 per cent. since the team left
home.
Here's the way the Rochester Democrat
Chronicle sizes up Pitcher Corbett and
explains the game lost by the Barons
Saturday:
Jimmie Corbett's brother, joe
"In Scranton's box was playing;
"His curves were fair, but not so good
'As those of Gussie weighing.
"But he should learn to throw the ball
so that Piggy Ward could catch it,
For that is why the Blackbirds now
"Roost higher in the attic
"Joe Corbett put up good game in the
box for Scranton and then nullihed it by
throwing wildly to bases. If 1t had not
been for his and Wards bad work when
Rochester had men on the bags it Is very
doubtful what the outcome of the game
would have been. Corbett's work as a
pitcher, however, was good, only nine
hits being made off his delivery by the ex-
perienced and good batters who faced him
while he was steady at critical periods. He
struck, out five Blackbirds, had good speed
and good curves, but was a little wild at
times When he gets experience he Will
be a good man If his work yesterday Is n
criterion of what he is ordinarily capable.
Where he erred, however. was in throw
ing to bases to catch runners. He Is apt
to get excited and couple of times sent
the ball down to Ward and to Mcguire as

gether with several single. two doubles
and triple.
The result of the game shows that the
lawyers had the best of the coaching
and that they had the most wind power,
for they made twelve circuits of the
bases to the doctors eight.
1t was generally conceded that there
We're a sufficient number of errors on

Yesterdays Results.

The Wilkes -Barreans, thanks to
Rochester's costly errors, pull out of
last place where they were tied with
the Barons and go up one notch to
seventh. That is the only change in
position as a result of yesterdays
games.
1t looks as though the Barons today
might break the Stars long winning
streak, and that Wilkes Barre and
Springfield would lose. In that case
the three trailing clubs will return
home on very even basis for the
games which begin Thursday.

fcrrcd Soon.
From the Rochester Chronicle.
The Toronto club started the season
off well, but has been losing of late. The
team has not been drawing well at
home and the management is losing
money rapidly. On the out-of-town
games they only secure the guarantee
and this does not leave much of a mar
gin over the regular expenses of the
team.
Those that know say that the man
asement is desirous of selling the fran
chise. If this is done, it is said that AL
hany is prospecting to obtain it. 'This
change would make beneficial change
in the circuit; although perhaps not
from financial standpoint. Nothing
Of definite character has been learned,
but that the franchise will be trans
ferred in the near future is considered
by some to be certain.

With Her Little Daughter an Insane Woman
Holds the Fort for Days in
RdrTcdded. Room.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. 1L-With a de-
termination to starve Mrs. Ansena Amer
son locked herself and eight-year old
Freda in their single living-room at 342
West Chicago avenue last Tuesday and
both have existed there since without food
or drink. Tonight the police called to
the scene by neighbors forced an entrance
into the room and took mother and daueh-
ter to the station. The former, it is be-
ieved, is insane and the latter was nearly
starved. Freda said her mother locked
and barricaded the door Tuesday morning
and threatened her against any outcry.
They had neither food nor fuel. Freda
begged to be released when she became
hungry, but the mother would not allow
her to go.
This evening while Mrs. Anderson was
sleeping the child went to the window and
attracted the attention of neighbor. No
body has been seen about the house since
Tuesday, and it was supposed they had
moved. When the child had succeeded in
notifying the neighbors several OF them
attempted to gain admission to the room.
Unable to do this they notified the police
and officers forced open the door. Mrs.
Anderson resisted, but was taken to the
station. Seven years ago she was de-
serted by her husband. She will be ex-
amined by the county physicians as to her
sanity. The child, although weak, is said
not to be in dangerous condition.

FEARFUL DISASTER At XERES.
Scores of People Buried in the Ruins OF
Two Buildings That Suddenly
COLLAPSED

CADIZ, SPAIN, Dec. ia terrible dis
aster occurred at Here's. sixteen miles
from this city, this morning through the
collapse of building. A house contain
ing twenty-five persons fell without warn
ing, burying all the inmates in the debris.
The house fell upon an adjoining tene-
ment building, which also gave way. The
tenement-house was inhabited by eighty
five persons and all were buried by the
wreckage. Eleven dead bodies and forty
six seriously injured have been taken from
the ruins.
The scene about the ruins was a pitiful
one. The news spread RAPIDLY, and it was
not long before an immense crowd had
gathered there. Friends and relatives of
the buried people made loud outcries. AS
each body was brought out people would
crowd around 1t to try and recognize the
battered features. Volunteers were plenty
to aid in the work of excavation. Men,
women and children worked like fends in
q mad effort to save life.
The blame for the accident has not been
placed. A searching investigation, how
ever, is promised.

THIS WORRIES STATE OFFICIALS.
He6raSka's Attorney General Says That
Bonds Furnished BY Surety Com
pnnies Gre Not Knnd.

LINCOLN, NEBR, Dec. 1.-An opinion
rendered at the request of Governor
Holcomb by Attorney General Churchill
has caused surprise, almost CONSERVATION,
among incoming State officials to-day.
1t is in effect that the law passed by the
last Legislature, allowing State, county
or city officers to give bonds furnished
by guarantee companies is unconstitu-
tional. This conclusion of the Attorney
General may have an important bearing
on the action of incoming State officers.
1t has been reliably reported that State
Treasurer-elect Meserve proposes to be
prepared for any emergency by present
ing to the Governor and other officials
whose duty it is to pass on his bond. two
bonds, one executed by guarantee COM
panies and another signed by citizens of
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-12

the State. 1t has been claimed by sup
porters of the incoming administration
that the State would have no right to pay
the fee demanded by guarantee companies
in such case and that the Treasurer him
self cannot afford to pay the fee, because
it would amount to more than his salary.
The contention OF the Acknowledgement
is that there must be a personal surety
without costto the State, though admit
ting that there are elements of doubt in
the question. The validity OF bonds now
in force furnished by these companies Is
not brought into question though they
may be later. $500

But He Did Not Have Wind ENOUGH to
Knock Out the p ucky Boston
Sioooer,

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. IA. = Dan
Creedon of Australia defeated Dick
O'Brien of Boston in the ninth round of
their battle at the Broadway Athletic Club
tonight. O'Brien showed himself q
wonderfully game man and a terror to
take punishment.
Though Creedon was tired at the finish
he showed himself the better man in
every way. About 1000 people were pres
ent when the opening bout, in which Billy
Whistler of Philadelphia and Eddy Curry,
a local boxer, were the principals. They
went the stipulated ten rounds at 100
pounds and were pretty evenly matched
but Referee Roche gave the decision to
Curry. The verdict was roundly Kissed
and booted. 1t should have been draw.
The big fellows were not long in getting
into the ring. Creedon was seconded bv
Seth Smith, Jem Mace, ex-heavy- weight
champ ion, and Benny Murphy. O'Brien s
seconds were Danny Mcbride, Tim Nc
Grath. Scotty Faulkner and Jack Burns.
Dick Roche was referee, and Fred Fleck
kept the clock.
The betting was about to in favor of
Creedon. Both got INFO the ring at 935.
They fought at catch weights, Creedon
scaling 161 pounds. O'Brien at first re-
fused to give his weight, but later con-
fessed to 151 pounds, though he looked at
least nine pounds heavier.
Round latter moments sparring Cree
don showed straight left into Dicks face
He repeated a moment later, o. Brien counter
ing the body. O'Brien led twice but was
blocked. Then he tapped Dan lightly on the
face. They EXCHANGED let's and Creedon
pushed his glove into o. Brien's face and the
latter slipped down. He got up and sent the
right to the jaw, Creedon countering on the
body.
Round 2-o'Brien led, but was stopped. Dan
sent left to the wind and another in the face.
O'Brien sent hard right on the wind and a
lett on the jaw later, but was well countered
each time. Creedon put left on the nose
and then sent right to the jaw, staggering
Dick. Creedon forced the fighting Just as
the bell rang Dick put hot swing on the
wind, but Dan only smiled.
Round was mixup and Creedon was the
best man. There was very lively fighting in
the next two rounds, and at the end of round
six O'Brien sent right to the jaw that nearly
Knocked Creedon down and both were bleed
ing and almost groggy when the bell rang.
Round 7-O'Brien's left found the nose and
Dan sent hard one on the wind. Creedon
started in again with left jabs on the face
The Australian followed up and put q hard
left three times on the jaw. O. Brien sent a
warm left on Dams law. Both were very
tired when the roundended.

ATHLETICS At STANFORD.
Picher Wins the Tennis Singles Cham
pionship-FootbaH Men Denied


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Gall, Dec.
11.-The championship game in singles
was played on the tennis court this after
noon by Oliver S. Picher 98 of Pasadena
and Charles P. Kaetzel '96 of Cambria.
The former won handily, the sets result
ing. 6-3, 6-1, Ga. The games were
holly contested, although Pitcher man
aged to win the deciding point. Kaetzel
used an underhand drive effectually. His
placing and serving were not up TO his
usual form. Pitcher played a strong
game throughout. His accurate placing
and his drives decided many points IN ms
favor. But small crowd witnessed the
game, as it was not generally, known that
the university cham pionship was to be
decided this afternoon.
Louis Freeman '99, last years cham
pion, was scheduled 10 play the winner OF
the recent preliminary tennis tourna-
ment, which was won by kaetzel SO. He
did not care to defend the title this year.
A game to decide the Stanford cham
pions in doubles will be played on the
tennis courts tomorrow forenoon. Free
man 80 and Picher 1913, last wears cham
pions, Will meet D. Arnold 80, and kaet-
Eel '96, winners of the preliminary tonrna-
ment. An interesting game is antici-
pated.
The football men will decide on Wednes-
day who is to be the next captain.
Charles Flckert 1913 has been repeatedly
urged by his friends to lead the team
another year, but has definitely decided
not to change his original determination
to not be candidate. Stuart Cotton SO,
who played such remarka bic game in
the intercollegiate contest, is a prominent
ca ndidate for the honor. The friends OF
n. A. earle '9S are advancing his interests
The executive committee of the Asso-
ciated Students met last evening to con-
slider the request of the baseball men, that
they be allowed coach for the coming
season They maintained that the pro-
fessional player, LANCE, might be engaged,
and as he did great deal toward getting
the nine into shape last year it would be
good policy to secure his services this year.
The committee, after carefully consider
ing the matter, determined that the
finances were not in such shape at present
as would admit of hiring coach, and re-
fused TO accede TO the demands OF the
ball-players. This action is not final,
however, as the committee has the power
and may see fit later to engage coach.
