 From the tenor of the letter which Prof. c. F. Kent, Joseph Porter. Charles s. DeForest and Professor Yandell Henderson sent to the police investiga- ton commission Saturday night, 1t is apparent that they do not propose to be present at Tuesday nights hearing or to take any different attitude re- garding the inquiry than they did at the last one. They asked that the com mission invite certain number of po- lice and city officials. including Mayor Studley, in order that they might, through counsel. interrogate them. The investigating commission sent reply which was published Friday, notifying them that they would have Mir. Webb and MT. Isben present at Tuesday nights hearing, but that they did not feel that they had any authority to re- quest the presence of the mayor.
 Saturday night the following letter was forwarded to Messrs. Harrison, Rogers and Martin.

ROSE AND LICHTBODY.
Western Athlatss Arrive to Compete
 in Pastinae q. C. Games.

New York, Dec 31.-Ralph W. Rose of the University of Michigan anG James D. Lightbody of the University of Chicago arrived in New York lass night to compete ill the games of the Pastime A. Q. tonight in Madison Square Garden. With the western athletes was Pop Butler. trainer or the Chicago A. A., which organization the two men will represent.
 Rose. who is the holder of the Amer ican record flor putting the sixteen pound shot, figured prominently in q report which said he intended to cilal- lenge Jeffries for the. heavyweight title. Rose is six feet four inches tall and weighs 250 pounds. He is big, rosy checked boy. Lightbody last summer won the Olympic championships for 800 and l,50O metres on the fiat and in the 2,5OO metre steeplechase. In the last named race he handily defeated J. J. Daly, the cross-cOuntry champion Both are pleasant spoken and rathel modest chaps.
 Lightbody is entered i'll the 1,OO0 yard A. A. U. championship and in the two mile handicap. He will start from scratch in the latter event. Rose will try to capture the honors in the twen- ty-four pound shot-put for the Ameri- can championship.
 The westerners will visit friends in the city on Sunday and on Monday will take trip to Columbia. They expect to go home on Tuesday.
 They are staying at the. Murray Hill hotel and have been rendered the corr- tesies of the New York A. c. Rose laughed bit when asked about his challenge to Jeff. ."That was some body's little joke,' he said. Tt kept me out of football last fall, though. My father wouldn't let me play when he heard of it.
 .'How about being perfect man?'' he was asked.
 ..Oh. Ralph's perfect only because he doesn't drink or smoke" put in Pop Butler. Then he sent his charges to bed.

TUE DIAMOND.
GOSSIP GROWS AS
 THE SEASON APPROACHES

At the banquet recently rendered Manager Jimmy Collins, of the Boston Americans, in Buffalo, that famous manager gave the inside facts Of the Patrick Dougherty deal that worried so many last summer. Collins said: "Yeu gentlemen have asked me for the true inside facts about that baseball deal in which Dougherty was sold to. the New York Americans, and in. reply I will say this much: Dougherty is one of the best hitting ball players I ever knew in my life. He was in strumental for two years in landing Us in second place, two years ago, and in first place last season. Dougherty is a friend of mine. and l hope l am T friend of his. But when this season started we fell into tough luck, aud Dougherty fell with us. Baseball, gentlemen, is as much q business as any other thing that you could imag- inc. Baseball players arc bought and sold. They are the assets of q good team. Dougherty was not playing the ball he played in the past. Several clubs wanted him, but the New York club, my friends, offered so much more for him that sold him to that club pure business proposition. They were in such straits that they were playing pitcher in the outtleld, and, recognizing in Dougherty good play CT, they wanted him, offered more for him, and got him, and that, gentlemen, is the sole reason that they secured that player. It was not sentiment, it was not friendship, it was not animos- ity. It was pure business deal. New York wanted him. wanted to sell him, and I did, and there you are. :"

BASKET BALL.
CROSBY FIVE
 WERE BEATEN
Crack Springfield cam Outplays Crosby Hil h-- Sterlings Were Trimmed Over in RliddletoWn.

The biggest crowd that has attend ed basketball game i'll the aftelna0n was present in the Y. M. c. A. gymna- sium yesterday to see the game be- tween the Crosby High school team and the crack Springfield five. Those .wno attended were we'll repaid, too for they saw a game that was eNcit- ing in the first half and astonishing in the second. The Springfield boys have the reputation of being the fast est school team in New England and they have the scalps of many teams dangling at their belts, They proved. thett superiority yesterday afternoon when they trimmed the local boys.
 Tn the first half the Crosby boys went into the game with a vim and they held the visitors close to the mark. It was nip and tuck between the two fiyes and the fast playing of GuilfOile and Beach carried the local players right alongside the Spring fields. When the half was oy@' the score stood a tie, 12 to 12.
 The second half proved a rough Cne and also proved disastrous to the To- cal lads. The Crosby five had been changed and several substitutes had been sent ont on the floor. This hurt the chances of the locals some, but sti1I it is very likely that the first i've would have been just as much at sea as were the last i've. The Spring fields were out to win and the only goals secured by the locals were three made on fouls. Springfield passed and repAssed the ball and played rings around the local lads. When the time was up the score stood 3l to 15 in fa- vof of Springfield. The lineup:
 Springneld~ Cnnliffe, If; Scott, If; Chrtsholm, c; Mcsser, lg; Nash and Mather, rg.
 Waterbury Beach and Morse, If; Guilfoile, If; Watrous and Everett, C; Usoskin and Fitzgerald, Is; Ryan, rg.

Over in Middletown last evening the Sterlings went Up against that strong aggregation and came away with a defeat by the score Of 31 to IT. The first half was a pretty good fight, but the MiddletoWn fellows were too speedy and succeeded in rolling up 19 to 12 for the Sterlings. The second half was also a speedy one, but the Sterlings were outplayed and the final score resulted in 31 for the home team and 17 for the Sterlings. The lineup:

DAN O,NHIL,s PLANS.

Dan O'Nef1 of Holyoke, the manager of the Springfield baseball club, was in Hartford yesterday and called on some of his friends. He said he was not in terested in baseball now and he re fused to get excited before April. My baseball season is from April until September z he said, ''and at other times I cut it out. will attend the meeting of the directors in New Haven Tuesday, but I do not suppose any thing of consequense will come up. There will be the usual amount of hot air. do not expect to make any changes in my team. as what had last year is good enough for me Hartford's got another pitcher, eh ? I thought they had three. Four What do they want four for I have four and that's one too many. Three is plenty and when you have more the slabmen do not get enough work, Three is enough for club unless the manager likes to have the men get layH''

FAIRY TALES.

Hartford baseball plans were fully discussed by Manager William J. Tracy and his assistant, John D. Ken nedy, in Bristol, yesterday. MT Tracy said that published report to the eff feet that he was to release George Henry, an outfieider. or Captain Frank 0uigley. the third baseman, was un- true. as he always made it rule to first notify the players who were to be released instead of giving it out to the newspapers first. He says that the report which announced that Bert Daly. the second basefnan, was to give up baseball and practice medicine was also fairy tale, as Daily already had a contract signed with Springfield and told MT Tracy yesterday while he was in Bristol that he expected to play ball this year in Springfield.

LEFT HANDED BATTING.

'.One of the wall flowers on the Au- burn, N. Y, team when was mem Der of that nine, was youth with a body like a Jeffries and a head like an orange" said Billy Bradley, of the Cleveland team, recently. We were playing Oswego one day, and the score was to 1 in the tenth. None of us had been hitting at all, and so the manager instructed the big substitute to take my place at bat and to hit left-handed. It was just an expert ment-a one-in-ten chance to change the luck-as he was a right-handed batter.
 ''The wall flower mopped the mois- ture from his eyes and slammed away at low one. The ball went scootfng for deep center, high and dry, and out of eyerybOdy's reach. We were all on our feet, watching the mad flight of the ball toward the. fence, and dancing with glee over our prospective 2 to l victory, when an awful shout from the bleachers directed our atten- tion to the diamond, and there was that pin-headed sub logging around the bases the. wrong way.
 Batting 1eft-handed had confused him, and he had mechanically started in the direction he was facing. By

CHESS.
PRNNsYL VANIA LOOKS
 LIKE A CERTAIN WINNER

.At the conclusion of the third round of the Triangular College Chess league tournament, played at the rooms of the German Press club yesterday. Penn sylvania was again in the van with an advantage of 115 points over Cornell's champions, who had only been able to make an even break in the six games played by them. Brown could add but half a point to her total, but Burton lost a grand opportunity when he per- mitted Kirkpatrick of Pennsylvania to escape when he had an almost sure win in hand. In consequence Penn sylyaria made clean sweep ana scored two more points, while Cornell could do no better than a draw whicis Mitchell played against Van Arsdale of Brown. With a lead of IA points to start the final round to-day the chances Of the Quakers being over. taken are decidedly slim.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1904-11-08

THE prediction of some weeks ago
that there would be a whirlwind finish
of the campaign has been realized to
a greater or less extent at least. the
charges that Judge Parker made with
reference to the alleged action Of the
Republican party in blackmailing the
trusts for campaign funds, were pub
lished last Friday. On Saturday Presi-
dent Roosevelt gave the press a long
signed statement in which he denounc-
ed Judge Parkers charges as false,
slanderous, etc. He devoted especial
attention to the allegation that Cor
telyou had been appointed chairman Of
the Republican national committee be-
cause of the knowledge Of the inside
affairs Of trusts he had gained as sec
retary of The department Of commerce
and labor, and had been making use
of the information thus gained to
blackmail the trusts out Of handsome
contributions. Mr.. Roosevelt, in his
reply, claimed that the question as to
whether the Republican party had got
ten contributions from trusts was not
the issue as the Democratic party had
also received contributions from the
trusts. He also denounced as outrage
Gus the accusation that he could be
influenced to hold off the trusts by
their contributions. Immediately on
the appearance Of Mr.. Roosevelt's de-
nial, Judge Parker came back with a
reply. He said that if the Democratic
party has received any contributions
from the trusts it has been without his
knowledge or consent as he had given
the Democratic managers to under
stand that he would certainly not
stand by any promises that might be
made to the trusts on account Of cam
paign contributions. What effect, If
any, the controversy may have had on
today's balloting cannot be determin-
ed; but that the Republican party has
been getting most Of its campaign
money from the trusts is quite evident.
