FRIDAY NIGHTS GAME MAY CAUSE

Among people who saw the game of IN
door bali Friday night between the c. l..
A. and the Y. NJ. C. A. and others who did
not see 1t, but who take an interest In the
game, hardly anything was talked of yes
terday.
A great deal of unpleasant feeling has
grown out of the game, and If the directors
of the league do not Immediately take
steps to set things straight there may be
discord.
The followers of the Catholic Library
team and some of the players do not hes

Umpire Saussy was badly off ON several
decisions and that decision by him in the
tenth inning at a critical time lost them

Charlton was on third base and there
We're two outs. Horrigan hit to third,
who threw to first and Saussy called Hor-
rigan out The Library players claim
that Horrigan was easily safe and say
that the decision was not even close. The
Library boys were upheld by many of the
spectators who thought the decision a bad
one.
1t will be seen what a difference this
might have made In the result of the game.
Charlton had scored on Horrigans hit,
but, of course, the run did not count when
Horrigan was put out. Had Horrigan
been safe. Charlton's run would have
counted which would have tied the score,
and the Library boys would still have had

The game was scrappy all the way
through and every point was contested
for all 1t was worth. 1t was evident FROM
the start that both teams were out to win
There was kicking by both sides and the
spectators were unusually noisy. The Y.
Nj. c. A. rooters were in larger force than
the followers of the Library boys and they
made a great amount of noise. The con-
duct of some of the spectators bordered on
rowdyism and policeman at one time
had to threaten to arrest one rooter who
made himself particularly obnoxious. The
officer would have arrested him, but was
requested not to do so by several members
of both teams.
1t is likely that meeting of the direc-
tors will be called to investigate the game
and take some action to prevent recur-
renee of such disagreeable features.
1t is understood that Gordon Saussy had
decided to tender his resignation as a

faction expressed at his umpiring

The Y. NJ. H. A. team is second. with

The Duke of Modena died almost in penury, and the Princess Massimo felt obliged to curtail her magnificent mode of living since her young niece was portionless. But the Contessa refused to give up her pleasures, and when contrary to her aunt's orders she bought jewels and dresses as lavishly as heretofore, the Princess Massimo put her out of her house and publicly disclaimed all responsibility for her debts.

 The secret came out when the Alder men met one evening and rescinded the resolution they had passed granting the Harlem company the right to lay rails down Broadway. The stock at once dropped down to P. but the bears were selling short. They were not satisfied with fifteen or twenty points, but
 wanted it all, as the expression is in Wall street They expected the price to go down to 50, and they reasoned that there would be no difficulty in when everybody who had stock would be only too glad to sell.
 But they were caught in trap. The stock didn't go below 70. and as the end of the month approached and the time for covering "short" contracts drew near the more timid ones went into the market to get their stock to deliver. Up shot the price to 100. then 120, 140. and finally to 179. Then there was none for sale, and 1t dawned upon the unhappy bears that the commo- dore had bought it all and more too that is they had put contracts to de- liver more than the outstanding cap ital of the road. He allowed the big gest bears to settle at S179 share, re- sulting in clear profit to him and his partners of several million dollars.

" HE Pope has just issued a cir

 pear in a new paper issued in Rome and called Le Petit Moniteur de Rome The paper recently started the story that the real Pope, Leo XIII, Is a prisoner in the Vatican, while bogus Pope reigns in his stead. In issuing this warning the Vatican authorities claim to have exposed a great fraud that might have become as serious as that of Diana Vaughan and her revela- tions of the devil worshipers Connect ed with this story of fraud is the well known Contessa Carolina de Saint-Ar- maud. It is said that several million dollars has been collected from the faithful on the pretense of using the money to free the imprisoned Pope.

 In Wall street all of the great ''cor- ners" have been associated with cam paigns against the bears, who have been injudicious enough to sell stock and put out contracts for the delivery of stock amounting to more than the total stock issue of particular com pany. Where the .cerner" was com plete there could be but one outcome the victims had to settle at any price that the manipulators of the "corners" might dictate.

pass the consolidation bill, and the price fell off 59 points to 91. Again the bears expected it to drop to 50 and they kept on selling. The commodore and John Tobin bought 2S,000 shares more than had been issued Then they put the price up to $2S5 a share. at which figure the leading bears settled. The commodore in telling the story later said:
 We busted the whole Legislature. and scores of the honorable, members had to go home without paying their board bills.'

Down went the price, and as nobody stood ready to take his vast holdings on declining market. the decline de- yeloped into an avalanche, and many bulls were ruthlessly slaughtered.
 This incident aptly illustrates the point that anybody who wishes to en- gineer a corner must be prepared to buy all that is offered. That is what Letter and his friends are now doing.

and allowed the foolish legislators to settle for $2S5 a share. Not long before 1t had been selling at $50 share
 Commodore Vanderbilt was a novice in Wall street when, as Staten Island ferryman, he bought large interest in the Harlem Railroad and proceeded ro lay his wires to get control of it. The Harlem road back in 1862 had it's ter minal at Twenty sixth street, the cars being hauled down from Forty-second street by horses.
 The commodore fixed up a scheme to extend 1t down Broadway to the Bat tery, and he thought he had arranged with enough of the Aldermen to se- cure the necessary franchise from the city. This privilege, it was assured, would greatly enhance the value of the property and the stock would naturally go up. It had been Kicking around'' at $15 or $20 share. The commodore began to buy the stock freely and it rose rapidly to $50. Then one night the Aldermen passed an ordinance grant ing the desired extension down Broad way.

 He has as his fellow-captfve the long lost Archduke John of Austria, who is heId by his enemies for similar political purposes. This scion of royalty was, as IS well known, entirely out of joint with ms tune, and on more than one occa- sion was threatened by the Emperor Francis Joseph with arrest for high treason. He disappeared some twelve years ago, and the published statement of Contessa Arnaud that he is confined Tn secret dungeon of the Vatican has caused quite sensation in European circles.
 Wild and impossible as these accusa- tions may appear the Contessa counts her believers by the hundreds. and so plausible is her story, backed by all manner of sworn documents purport- ing to come from Monsignori one time in the Pontifical service, that she has collected large amounts to aid in lib- erating the imprisoned head of Chris lendoHi- Ine vatican autnOr1tleS are intensely annoyed because of the name she has given her organ, Le Petit Mon- iteur de Rome.

In the following year the commodore conceived the idea of consolidating the Harlem and the Hudson River railroads, and he got a majority of the Legislature pledged to grant the privilege.
