GAFFNEY AND BROWN.
Two Ex-Washington Managers j
pointed Umpires.

Two Ex-Washington Managers Ap-
pointed Umpires.
President Young of the National Base
Ball League made the official announce
ment today that he has appointed John H
Gaffney and Thomas Brown umpires, to
take the places Of Umpires Cushman and
Curry, the appointments to 60 into effect
Monday morning.
For some time past, in fact, almost since
the season opened, there have been many
protests against Cushman and Curry, and
notwithstanding the fact that President
Young and the league magnates had de-
cided to keep the umpire staff intact, q
change had to be made. and the new ap-
pointments are the result.
As a forefunner of the change, Umpfre
John Heydler was recently shifted over as
a running mate for Umpire Emslie and
Umpire Curry was assigned to help Cush-
man. The new men will simply step into
the dates assigned to Cushman and Hsyd-
Ter and the umpfres' schedule will continue
as originally mapped out.
The new appointments win doubtless
meet with general satisfaction, as both
Gaffney and Brown are well and favorably
known Gaffney at one time acted as man.

Tom Brown, although having several Of
fer5 on his hands to manage minor league
clubs, decided to accept President Young's
invitation to join the umpire corps, as the
position is more than likely to be perma-
nent and the money sure. Tom has all the
requirements that go toward making up a
good umpire. He possesses cool and even
temperament and knows the game thor
oughIy. He has been an ornament to the
national game and President Young has
done the right thing in thus rewarding an
old player.

New York, July 25.-Prisoners of
war cheering the flag of their captors
was the unusual sight witnessed at
the Union dock In Brooklyn Sunday.
The sight was al the more significant
as the cheers came from Spanish
throats. The 254 prisoners captured
on the four prize steamers now in port
were about TO sail for home under the
British flag. They were on board the
Hesperia. of the Anchor line, and just
as she backed out of the dock one OF
the patrol gunboats came by. With
one accord the prisoners raised three
mighty cheers. which startled the peo-
pie on the Brooklyn shore and could
be heard on Governors Island. II was
the best they could do in thanking
Uncle Sam for the Kindness layished
on them while they were prisoners.

New York, July 25.--The receipts OF
the local United States subtreasury
were swelled Saturday by deposits OF
gold coin weighing 80 tons and valued
at about $o,000,000. The depositors
were the associated banks OF New
York, through the clearing house, and
these banks had during the other days
of the week paid in $1,000, 900 in gold to
the treasury, so that the total Of such
deposits for the six days is 5000, 600,
All the gold represented excess of de-
posts in banks by the government on
account of the S200.000,0 900 war loan,
against which government bonds
could not be deposited with the United
States treasury as security. Gold, in
the dcarth of legal tender notes. was
found 10 be convenient medium OF
