The yellow journal, in discussing the
baseball situation, is rapidly losing its
mind. 1t makes some ugly charges against
its own management of the games at
Central Park, known as the Examiner
tournament. Ii these charges are true the
yellow journal, unenviable as its present
position Is, achieves additional notoriety.
The ochre journal asserts that the Fresno
ballplayers left the grounds Sunday at
the instiga ton of the gamblers. Continu-
ing, it states that the committee directing
the tournament will post notices on the
grounds that hereafter no gam bling will
be allowed there and that whoever disre-
CARDS the warning, on discovery, will be
e jected from the park.
The withdrawal of Reliance and Gilt
Edge from TIL e tournament seriously Grip
pied the ames at Central Park. The at
tendance fell off one half, and very little
interest was ia ken by those who did wit
ness the contests on the diamond.
Now, can ii be possible that the yellow
journals management, in order to make
good its losses i'll the falling off of attend
ance, In some remote corner Of the
grounds sold pools on the re suits OF the
games2 Any one, from reading its arti-

withdrawal of Reliance and Gilt Edge,
wager large sums of money on the re-
suits OF the games? A perusal OF its arri-
ces would indicate that it i'd.
Who are the gam blers who were instru-
mental in engineering the deal whereby

The baseball public asks for this informa-
ton.

1HE CALL has graphically described
many stirring events at Central Park dur
ing the present tournament, but it has
never charged that gambling prevailed
there and that large sums OF money were
wagered on the games. That charge is
made by the Examiner. 1t being the Of
tcial organ OF the tournament it should
be acquainted with what takes place at
the park.
Now, will the public patronize game

Bitter Feeling in Fresno.

DlbLer eellnS IN It feSnOs
FRESNO, Nov. 2-The feeling here
over the action of the Examiner in regard
10 the Repu blican blseb bail team continues
to be very bitter.aa aand the withdrawal OF
the nine fro m the tournament is still in
dorsed without a dissenting voice. The
yellow journal lost several more SUBJ
scribers IN this city to-day, and it is re-
port { that he local agents com planning
because of the stack OF offensive papers
that he has in his store. Tonight the d.
rectors of the Athletic Park Association
had a meeting with the baseball tea m.
The mem bers of the associa tion are as
bitter toward the Examiner as any Fres-
nan is.
Ii. C. B. Gill, who represented the asso-
citation as financial manager in San Fran
cisco last Saturday and Sunday, denies
that he made all the statements ascriDed
to him in the purported interview with
him published in the Examiner. He does
not wish TO get into any further news
paper controversy, however and will not
speak for publication. He made a state
ment OF what he had told the Examiner
reporter al to-nlght's meeting, which was
behind closed doors. The situation as far
as the Republican nine is concerned re-
mains unchanged from yesterday. 1t mas
retired from the Examiner tourn am ent
and every one is glad that it has. The
association made proposition tonight
to continue the support of the team, and
the players will make their answer to-
morrow. 1t is believed that matters will
be satisfactorily arranged.
The withdrawal by Manager Shea of the
team last Sunday receives the indorse-
ment of every one.

The claim that Mrs. Abel is trying to

Reardon's jewelry business. which, she
says, was executed in good faith and for
value received, but which he insists was
without consideration, and was intended
to take effect only in the event of his
death.
Because the other persons named in the

the property, they ares made co.defend-
