against William Wood, of ST. Paul,

gang of young toughs who were at
Wildwood Sunday trying to pick
pockets and commit other depreda-
lions. Wood is twenty years of age,
but claims that he is not guilty of the
crime. His only excuse is that some
one else put the pocketbook beneath

Manager L. H. Seymour, of the
Joseph Wolf company team, resigned
yesterday, and will have nothing more
to do with baseball in this city. Mr..

crowd called for Ford SUNDAY when

made up his mind to do so at once.
Mr.. Seymour's management of the

have given excellent SATISFACTION, and

get him to remain at the head of the
team until the close of the season.
