FREEDMAN HAS NOT SOLD.
RUMoR THAT THERE WILL BE A CAME AT THE
POLO GROUNDS TO-DAY.

POLO GROUNDS TO-DAY.
While It was generally understood that there
would be q game of baseball in Harlem Hollow this
afternoon. no official information has been dis
tributed for the information OF the public. 1t was
said last night, IN @ semi-oiicial way, that there
would be music or decorations formal open
ing ceremonies at the Polo Grounds this year.
Another yarn came from Chicago yesterday to
the effect that ANDY Freedman was going TO sell
his interest IN the New-York club and retire from
the game Many OF those who heard the rumor said
II was too good to be true. The names of Albert G.
and J. w. Spalding, John T. Brush, James A Hart
A. H. Soden and E. B. Talcott were mentioned as
the men who would relieve professional baseball
Of its present troublesome element Mr.. Talcott
deal Mr. Talcott has been OF the city for the
last two months, and he could not be seen yester-
day.
James A. Hart OF the Chicago club arrived in tho
city yesterday and met the Messrs Spalding in the
afternoon He not only denied the story, but said
that the yarn written by a man in Chicago
who has been responsible for some of the most IN
credible sportng dreams that have been iib-
Grated in a long time. j. W. Spaldng said that
there was not q word Of truth In the story. Others
who discussed Il said they believed Freedman was
anxious 10 get OF baseball but that they did
think he would be able TO realize anything like the
amount OF money that he might expect to get for
MS possessions.

child, girl, about 6 months old. 1t
is set forth that on different times and
occasions at the premises, No. LOO

Gulch that is thriving settlement and
yesterday one of its citizens was in Chi
cago and guest at the Leland hotel.
The name of this citizen was w. C.
Hemmenway.
Mr.. Hemmenway came to the city in
the morning and left for the east early
IN the afternoon. During the few
hours of his stay ne found time TO re-
late to many questioners the story of
the town and of the reason for its
name. According to the arsonaut's
story Whisky Gulch lies to the north of
Dawson and is inhabited by several
hundred people.
Whisky Gulch is not an old town. In
TACT, 1t has only been on the map for
a few months. 1t was founded by a
party of prospectors who left Dawson
early last fall and started north The
bad luck of all was the only feature of
the trip, until a lonely gulch was
reached one afternoon Up 10 this time
the course of the party had been
through district that had apparently
never known the foot of G human be-
ing. Everywhere was desolation But
in the gulch were the ruins of cabin
The gold seekers looked upon this as a
favorable sign. They hurried forward
to the ruins and began to explore them
One of the first finds was that of hui
man bones. The second was a cask
that accounted for the first The cask
was partly filled with whisky. The
theory of the men who made the ghast-
~ lind was that while under the influ-
ence of the contents the man who had
conveyed it to the desolate spot had
persisted from cold
But the fact that a man had built a
cabin in such place augured well. in
the opinions of the prospectors, and
they pitched their camp in the gulch,
The next day gold was found and the
camp became permanent settlement,
1t was given the name Whisky Gulch,
but the inhabitants of the town are all
said to be total abstainers.
