PAsrIMEs AGAIN WIN.

The match game between the Pas
times and the Merrimacs of the City
Amateur league for $50 a. side and the
position of second place in the league
was played yesterday afternoon with
thousands of people in attendance. It
was, a nip and tuck contest with the
Pastimes maintaining a small lead
throughout. They scored a run IN
the second inning and the Merrimacs
worked a runner over the plate in the
sixth inning. In the last half Of the
sixth the Pastimes took one more run
and In the eighth scored two more.
The Merrimacs secured run IN the e
ninth. but by the clever pitching OF
Eddie Barker they were unable to
overcome the lead and they were beat

WIN AND LOSE
The Second Team Defeated
the St Thomas Cadets
First Team Beaten by the
Pastimes.

The two rivals in the Greater Wa
terbury league met for the last time
this season ON the Riverside grounds
yesterday morning. It was battle
for $50 side and great interest cen
tered in the game. The last time the
st Thomas Cadets and the Young Mer-
rimacs met the former team won af-
ter a hard fight of thirteen innings, by
the score Of i to o. Yesterday the
Merrimacs turned the trick after a
fight in which many brilliant plays
took place. The good work of Pitcher
Byrnes for the Merrimacs kept the
Cadets from getting on the bases and
behind him he had team that played
baseball all the time. The Cadets,
however, were not playing bad ball by
any means and their work was on a
par with that of their rivals. 1t was
nip and tuck up to the seventh inning
when the Cadets scored the first run
in the first half of that inning. The
Merrimacs. not to be outdone, scored
also in their half. In the eighth the
Cadets failed to get man across the
plate, but the Merrimacs did and in
the ninth the Merrimacs won the game
by shutting out the Cadets in the first
half. The score:

BRUSH A GUTTER.
50 Say the Public and ali Baseball
Authorities.

Public demand for the usual series
of games between the Giants and the
Highlanders, New York clubs in the
National and the American leagues re-
spectively, which will decide the
worlds championship, viii not be sat
isfied with the assertion of President
Brush that the Giants are willing. to
close the season satisfied with national
honors.
1t is even uncertain if the neatly
typewritten statement of Mr. Brush
strengthens his position in declining
the post-season schedule, since the
FANS will fail to find any good rea-
son why he should set aside all prece-
dent through the discovery he has
made in reading Article 4, Section z
of the national constitution.
President Brush and the club he rep
resents have been called squitters' by
the patrons of the game because OF
the unwritten law in all sport thai

The final game in the All American
league was played yesterday and the
Orients ran away with the game and
the championship by defeating the
Terrible Nine by the score of 10 to A.
The heavy hitting of the Orients after
the sixth inning gained for them the
victory. Accusations We're made that
the Orients used ringers" in the
game, but Manager Dan Buckley says
not and is willing to back the Orfents
against any team in the All American

the best team. It is possible this

Result of Games Saturday
and Sunday.

About all the baseball interest now
is centered on the great race in the
American league between the Cham
pion Bostons and the New Yorks. The
strain under which the leaders have
been playing is beginning to tell on
the work of the men and there rs
falling off. Orth of the Hignlanders
was out of the game for a few days
and Owen of the White Sox has bro
ken down. The star tWirlers of the
younger league are losing their speed
and accuracy. The Boston boxmen
were the first to go stale. More err
rors were charged against the leading
American league teams during the
last two weeks than during any pre-
vious three weeks this season. Ortiz 8
trouble was overwork, and Owen in
jured his pitching arm. Without
Owen, Comiskey will be unable to
make a hard fight to the finish. The
Washingtons, who paved bum ball dur
ing the season, are now putting up
fine article.
Comparisons are being made be-
tween the Giants, who have just won
the National league. championship, and
the Giants who We're victorious IN
1889. There are thousands who recall
the Giants of 1889 and sing the story
of their praises whenever they are
gathered where baseball was the topic
of conversation. First Of all was
Buck Ewing, by many thought to be
the greatest ball player that ever lived.
The present New York catchers are
not up to Bucks style of catching.
Ewing was assisted by Big Bill Brown,
now dead. In the box the New Yorks
had Mickey Welch, Sir Tim Keefe, Ed
Crane. Titcomb and George. The pen
nant was won by the good work of
WEIGH Keefe and Crane. Roger Con
/ nor was at first, Danny Richardson
played second, John M. Ward was at
short. and in the outfield We're Jim
lO'Rourke, George Gore and Silent Mike
Tiernan. The old Giants were q
great team, but they would not stand
1 much of q chance with the present
Giants. In the old days Jeems Mu-

NONE TO GIVE BACK.
Mrs. Chadwick Got 81, 900, 1000 But
Her "Dupes" Must Suffer.
A Belief Among lawyers That
Charges Against the Woman Will
Not Hold and She May he
Turned Loose.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 12.-According
to the most accurate estimate Of the
estate of Mrs. Chadwick that Is posi-
BILE, before the receiver has investi-
gated her assets and reported his
findings to the court, her creditors
as q whole will receive about w mills
on the dollar.
The extent of her operations is now
believed to be approximately as fol-
lows: Secured from Citizens national
bank of Oberlin and various sources
in and about Lorain county, O., $780,
900; borrowed from Herbert d. New
ton, $4,000; borrowed from business
man in Pittsburg, 100000; total, ST.
10000.
Against this stands security OF
known value on one note amounting
to $1,000, which is held by Iri Rey-
nolds. The amount Of money received
by Mrs. Chadwick in Pittsburg may
run as high as 100000, but 1t is be-
lived that q portion Of this sum Is
bonus promised by her for an original
loan of at least 100000. Her creditor
there figures that she Is indebted to
him for the larger amounts, while she
has admitted that she owes 100000.
The case Of Mrs. Chadwick was
brought before the grand jury Of Cuyas
hoga county to-day. The investigation
will extend only to the alleged
forgeries of the Carnegie notes. 1t is
the opinion of some of the leading
attorneys OF Cleveland that charge
of forgery cannot be made to hold In
connection with these notes. They de-
clare that 1t is not an act Of forgery
for one person to write the name OF
another, but that the offense lies IL.
the attempt to negotiate such sigma
ture for a specific value. This, they
say, there is so far no evidence that
Mrs. Chadwick has done. She has not
sold nor attempted to sell the notes for
cash. She has not said that she would
be glad to obtain money In exchange
for them. She has obtained money
from various sources on the statement
of Iri Reynolds that she to the best
of his knowledge and belief held Sc
curities of certain value, and whether
It proves correct or otherwise In his
value of the notes there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Reynolds believed what
he said. There has been, according to
the attorneys, no evidence so far elic-
tied showing that Mrs. Chadwick OBJ
tanned money on these notes in any
other manner than through the at
testation of Iri Reynolds that he had
seen the notes and considered them
good.
The loan OF 100000, said to have
been received by Mrs. Chadwick in
Pittsburg or from a man residing in
that city, Is declared to have been
made to her by multi-millionaire
manufacturer Of that city.
