run over the right field fence by Sheckard
in the first inning won the snappiest,
season here. one that was brilliantly and
desperately played all through by both

and the cheering of 1900 enthusiasts
served to stimulate the other men to do
their utmost. The nearest Brockton
came to scoring n second time was in the
ninth. when Sheckard doubled, reached

IS WAITING IN JAIL.
Eugene Cert Imprisoned While
His Family Is Desti-
tute.
BE Will Not Tell Where Mortgaged
Property Has Been
Placed.

Eugene Cert, who is serving an in
definite sentence in Jail for contempt of
court, will be brought before Judge Sea-
well this morning TO be questioned as to
the support of his family while he remains
behind prison bars.
Cert was sent to Jail some weeks ago be-
cause he refused to turn over his househ old
goods 10 a receiver after a chattei mort
gage upon them had been foreclosed. He
and his wife, Johanna. who live with
their two children at % Fourteenth street,
borrowed $45 from Florence A. Kendall a
year ago, giving a note and a chattel
mortgage on the furniture and household
property to secure it. The mortgage was
fo-ecio,ed, tue receiver appointed and for
refusing 20 turn over the property Cert
was sent to jail until he changed his
mind.
In the meantime his wife and his two
children are destitute. They were in court
u few days ago when Cert tried To secure
his liberty by the habeas corpus mill and
they presented a pitifuI ght. Cert was
denied his writ and was returned to Jail,
but since his incarceration his family has
had no means of subsistence nor will they
have anything to live on until he releases
himself by saying where the property Is.
Realizing the necessities of the wife and
children, Judge Seawell has ordered the
man into court to-day to see If som mething
cannot be done
