New York, Sept 23.-The train from Derby, Conn, with William Hooper
 Young on board arrived at the Granq Central station at 9:20 a. n. There was a crowd of 400 or 800 at the sta- tion when the train came in. The crowd was quiet and orderly and no demonstration against Young was made.
 When the train was stopped the pas sengers were asked to keep their seats for few minutes. Then Young, who was in the smoking car, was taken off first Handcuffed to Detective Ser
 geant Hughes, and followed by Detec- tive Sergeant Findlay, Young was led to a closed carriage and accompanied by Detective Sergeant Hughes went inside. Findlay then jumped on the
 seat with the driver, and with a police
 man standing on each side step the
 carriage started for police headquar-
 ters.
 Young was led through a large crowd
 that had gathered to see him. He plainly was in a condition bordering on collapse when led up the steps.
 Shortly afterwards Lawyer Hart,
 Youngss counsel, appeared and said in reply to inquiries: Young is an inno- cent man. The police believe they
 have got him on an alleged confession
 which he made before he had legal counsel It will be proven that Young
 was not even an accomplice."

who had started for third when the
ball was hit, could get back.
O'Hagan's accomplishment will go
down in base ball history as one of the
greatest plays ever made on the dia-
mond. For long time it was a popu-
lar belief that Paul Hines of the old
Providence National league team had
made a triple play unassisted, but that
story was shattered some years ago
when members of the Providence team
came forward and printed over their
signatures letters in which 1t was
stated that Hines was assisted In his
play by Sweasy, the second baseman
of Proyidence 9ssI
This play, about which so much has
been written and which has caused no

tween Bostonsand Providence, in Prov

center fielder for Providence. Manning
of Boston was on third and Sutton on
second. Burdock put up a fly back OF
short which Hines caught after a hard
run Hines kept on to third, retiring
Manning before he could return to the

The New London Telegraph gives
this preface for the game yesterday IN
New London:
New London started off the week by
winning yesterdays game with Water
bury, though for long time it looked
as il it was going to be another OF the
same old kind. The crowd was the
smallest foria long time and during the
earlier portions of the game seemed
more inclined to root for the visitors
than for the home team. Later on,
however, when the locals began to
wake up and Waterbury sandwiehed
in some errors the sympathies of the
crowd returned to their natural al
legiance and the fans were pretty glad
to see the boys get victory to their
credit. McLoughlah pitched fine ball
for the Whalers, doing better work
than Clancy, who failed to keep up his
pace during the latter innings. Mac
won his own game, too, by smashing
out screaming two Dagger with two
men on bases and putting the locals in
the lead
Several of the Waterbury players
are new to New London, as it is sOnN,
time since the team played here before
and changes have been frequent.
{ Croughan, the center fielder, appears
like anything but a tower of strength.
There was nothing phenomenal about
the work of either team, and at one
time Damon, Mclaughlin and O'Brien
got mixed up in a most childish man
ner, but all in all the playing of the
locals was better than that of the
visitors
Steve Ashe appeared with an assign

kick over any of his decisions, this
feature being in refreshing contrast to
the low fever induced by Mr. Klimfs
operations during the last two games
previous.
Scanlon. Waterbury's catcher, was
