ON THE DIAMOND.

A.. c. Anson is authority for the statement that the Brooklyn club has sold the release of Outfelder James sheckard to the New York National league club. The New York officials say that the statement is premature. The Brooklyn club has already hand ed over Dahlen to McGraw for two second class players. and if Sheckard is allowed to follow what will become of the Sunerbas and the men who ask Brooklynites to patronize base ball at Washington park? To a man up a tree it looks very much as if there is a general desire on the part of some people to have the New York Nationals win the pennanf, which would mean more big receipts at the Polo grounds It is passing strange that the New Yorks were always
 ioundering around near the tail end of the procession until the American leaeue invaded the metropolis with a s70.00o ball team and the best play ing talent iI the country for attrac- tions. With Pittsbure and New York the only real competitors for the Na- tional league pennant next season, what will become of the other six clubs in the circuit?

ABEEL ARRESTED.
1t Is Said He Posed as Young Million

1t Is Said He Posed as Young Million
 aire to Trick Girl.
 NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Dec. 2S-- There is no doubt in the minds of the police that the man just arrested on the Canadian side of the river Is James Abeel of New York, who. 1t is alleged, posed as '.J. Ogden Goelet, IT," claim ed relationship to the well known Goe- let family and became engaged to Miss Grace Anderson of New York as Goe- let. The prisoner, however, still main tains that Hall is his proper name.
 On Wednesday of last week two men went to the Savoy hotel at Niagara Falls, Ont, and registered from Chi cago. One of the men gave his name as F. s. Hall and the other W. K. Hall.
 Saturday night Chief of Police Mains Of the Ontario force received telegram from Inspector McCluskey of the New York police asking him to arrest F. s., Hall at the Savoy hotel, who, the mes sage said. is wanted in New York on a charge Of forgery. Hall is still at the Savoy in charge of police officer. The man with him is not in custody.
 Hall has engaged Gernain & Pettit a well known law firm of Welland, Ont, and he will doubtless fight extra dition. Acting under the advice of his counsel he will make no statement fur ther than to declare that he has com mitted no crime.
 If Abeel persists in his determine ton to fight extradition and refuses to return to New York the officials admit they will be at a standstill in the case, because the extradition laws, it is said, will not cover the case.
 Abeel said last evening: "So much trouble has been made for me by the police and newspapers that do not know but what I will return and prove my innocence. I am entirely innocent of irnpersonating J. Ogden Goelet or any other Goelet. The fact that I am making my home in Canada under an assumed name is purely 8 personal matter. My family is we'll acquainted with my reasons. and so long as I do not turn my assumption of an alias to any criminal account do not think am answerable to any one. have communicated with my relatives, and if it is thought best I shall return to New York, and then the truth as far as am concerned will become known"
 The description of F. $. Hall and James Abeel tally very closely. and the police are positive they have Abeei! He will be arraigned before Magistrate Cruikshank this morning.

Boston Police Raid Cheap Lodgings
 I'm Search of Criminals.
 BOSTON, Dec. 28. Following out the policy inaugura ted last Sunday morn ing to rid the city of suspicious per- sons and vagrants, the entire detective department yesterday made a second series of raids on cheap lodging houses. As result fifty-nine alleged vagrants and suspicious characters were locked up in the city prison. Last Sunday ffty-two arrests were made This time every lodging house in the west and south ends of the city, where appli cants can secure beds for 10 cents, was visited.
 The prisoners will be subjected to a rigid examination. and each will be photographed and bis Bertillon meas urements taken. Those not wanted by the police for specific offense will be ordered to leave the city.
 The present crusade against suspi- cious character was prompted by the numerous assaults, robberies and bur- glaries that have occurred during the past few weeks.

RAGGED A PUMA.

Hunters In the Hue Creek Country
 Got Big Game.
 SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 2s.-tT have just returned from the Blue creek coun- try, where I bagged the largest puma I have ever seen," said Tom Hopper, a veteran hunter of the northwest, on q trip to the city recently. ~I went up on the Blue creek a little west of Chene- lah in search of deer and ran on traces of bear A party of us started out in search of the bear and bagged two lynxes Late in the evening we were returning home. Bill Rowley, with whom I was stopping, and myself sent the rest of the party around the trail with the wagon We decided we would take a short cut through the noun tains.
 s'Not long after we started out Old Gap, my bear dog, started ahead of the rest and ran on for about POO yards. Then he stopped and began to raise a terrific row. The other dogs started after him.
 '.When we came to the dogs they were surrounding a tree, and, looking up, saw q gray form clinging to the boughs knew what it was in an in stant hnve shot too many cougars to be mistaken.
 By this time it was so dark that could just see the puma's white throat and could scarcely see the gun barrel. I told Rowley to take aim and when counted three to fire. We both fired at once. We struck him in the heshy part of the fore legs The animal came down with thud in about eighteen inches of snow which was around the foot of the tree. Then he started on a run, and we thought we had lost him.
 However, we took up the trail in a hurry.
 '.As soon as got up with the dogs found snarling mass, with the dogs on top, and saw the cougar snapping at Old Gap and Old Gap doing his best to retaliate. Screamer, fox hound, was standing by, with bleeding shoulder. and Old Gap had gash across his throat that exposed his windpipe and a wound in the shoSlder.
 ''When got sight of the animal 1t had it's mouth open. took aim and fired as nearly as could make it in the darkness directly between the rows of glittering white teeth. The puma lay down, and we thought he was finished, but soon he showed fight again. I got a little closer this time and sent bullet through his brain. That finished him.'

Pedlar's father had fine funeral, the expenses being defrayed by pronni- aent English sports and bookmakers.
 Patsy Sweeney lost another fight 1t Lawrence, Mass. on Friday night. He fought twelve rounds with Homie Melody Of Charlestown, Mass, and the latter received the decision. The men fought under straight rules and pun ished each other severely for over half an hour Melody, displayed more sci- ence than his opponent, and this aid- ed him to victory But Sweeney's $ punches were powerful. and enabled him to even things up at close quar- ters. In the tenth round Sweeney was sent staggering all over the ring with a left swing on the jaw. But he pulled himself quickly together and came back with body blows. These smashes were accurately delivered and hurt Melody The sports were satisfied when the referee called Mel. ody the winner.
