from Scotland, where he had served first in the
British army cavalrynan and then on the
police force OF Glasgow. Fifteen years ago he
made a tour of the United States with Duncan

Mullin has claimed he was under no obi

pay for his release Is accepted evidence
that Mautner has a hold on him. Mautn er

base ball on Georgetown Field yesterday
afternoon. As both teams suffered equally
from the disturbing barometrical condi-
lions the score-Georgetown, 10; Princeton,

the two clubs. A good-sized gathering
braved both the weather and poor base
ball. The Princeton following seemed con-

tory of last Saturday, and a great deal Of
money was wagered on the result. At the
end of the seventh, with Princeton making
ed the game on account Of darkness,
Princeton went in to win. Sharp base
running and two errors by the locals gave
Nassau two unearned runs the first time
up. But Georgetown settled down and
held the visitors down to a single run until
the seventh inning. Meanwhile Underhfll

The National Association of Minor

tempt the wrecking Of the American Asso-
citation, and st. Paul appears to have been
picked out by Powers, Stallings, ct al. as
the wrecking grounds. The st. Paul man
agement has received Information proving
to them that five Of the newly signed saints
have been tempered with, and Manager
Kelly believes that four of the men have
jumped or are about to jump. Kelly rather
considered the matter joke until he re-
ceived letter from Charles Chech, one of
the pitchers. ChecE inclosed a telegram
sent by Stallings and the message offered
the young pitcher $500 month to leave the
saints. Chech refused the offer.
Lumley is reported to have signed with
Syracuse. He may report for training, but
he has not answered letters and kilograms
sent him.
Brain Is another receiving an offer from
the Buffalo man. and he has not been heard
of for the past two weeks and the ST Paul
management fears that he may have &C
cepted the offer.
Hurley, one of the catchers, is also on
the suspected list, and Bill Wilson, the
backstop with the saints last season, dis
appeared from his haunts In ST. Paul two
weeks ago and has not been heard of since.
Warner has been approached by the Des
Moines management. and he, too, has failed
to answer letters and kilograms sent him
Dick Cogan, another pitcher, has received
tempting offer from Buffalo, but Cogan,
like Chech, will play with the saints.
