ABOUT POOL SELLING.
Governor Hefriek Outlives His Views
 on the Subject

Cleveland. O.. Aug 5.-"As governor of the state I take the stand that am called upon to interfere with poo selling at race tracks only when the local authorities prove that they are not capable of coping with the situa tion."
 In these emphatic phrases Governor Myron I. Herrick outlined here yes terday his policy in dealing with poo selling at the races scheduled fol Ohio turfs.
 Tt is a matter with which, hc said, the local authorities should deal first. If affairs grow to such pro portion that they are unable to master the situation then it will be time fol them to appeal to me officially. II such cases I shall do my duty"

At present there are only seven men on the Cleveland hospital list. but there may be more at any time. The roster includes Lajoie. Ray, Kahl. Stovall Joss. Rhoades and Bernhard. the lat ter having injured his pitching hand Thursday.
 While the news has not been bruited abroad. it is said to be none the less a fact that Manager Allen of Norwich was obliged to dip down into his own pockets for $400 on the last pay day. No wonder they wanted to cut Tacks Latimer's salary.
 Never has the fickleness of crowd been more forcibly demonstrated than at Holyoke, when the fans forgot all about Hummels good work and roast ed him roundly for his error. No notice was taken of his two hits out of four times up.
 According to Fred Crolius. Brownie Foreman's extremely brief visit to Norwich cost the club just S26, which the twirler from Baltimore inyeigled the manager into advancing him. If Brownie is wise he will stick to his Oriole nest for the present.
 And now Rube yickers has written to President Ebbetts, asking for job with Brooklyn, saying that .Prindiyilie had given him permission to pitch for Burlington Unfortunately for Rube, Ebbetts is a great friend of the former Holyoke president, and Rubes state ment carried no weight. Concerning Emil Batch. his third baseman, who last year played with Holyoke. Ned Hanlon says that he's a natural ball player and a natural hitter. There's a career ahead of him. His batting fault dt was the same in Holyoke, is pulling away from the ball. He sometimes appears to be afraid of it, and thus handicaps him. self"

AMERICANS IN THE LEAD.
Ahead of English in First Inning of
 Cricket Game.

: Cricket Game.
 New York. Aug 5-There was an unusually large gathering of specta- tors at the Staten Island Cricket clubs grounds at Livingston. S. l.. yesterday, when the international match between an eleven from the Marylebone Cricket club of England and a picked eleven from the Metropolitan District league of New York was begun. Each side complete it's first innings. the local men scoring 96. which was one more than the British players mae. The visitors began their secon innings little be- fore 6 o'clock but lost their first wicket for seven runs, K. O. Hunter being calle out leg before wicket off Cobb's bowling.
 The feature of the day was the close ness of the total scores. There were many pretty fielding plays made on both sides. The low scoring was somewhat of a disappointment, not withstanding the fact that the ground keeper had prepared fine wicket. The bowling of the local men was excellent and des pite the fact that Kelly and Worm were injured during the early part of the contest the Englishmen were pushed to the top of their game. Wyld for the visitors made 9. Stow made IS and Mann was the only other to reach double figures with 12 runs.
 The work of Hurditch. the wicket keeper for the local team. was very clever and in this respect he was not whit behind Stow, who played the same position for the Englishmen. C. A. Worm, American, who had his right leg injured early in the day. took the batting honors with well earned 26, which included four boundary hits, each of them being good for four runs. Setinthal. American, also showed up well at the bat. as did Laurie and Dur rant Americans, the latter carrying his bat for well played IT.
 The game was resumed at 11:3O a. m. to-day, and if yesterdays bowling and sharp fielding are duplicated the contest should be completed early this afternoon.

New Haven, Aug 5.-Saving their strength for their meeting with Hol- yoke to-day, the Ponies refrained from extending themselves on the Prairie yesterday afternoon, being content to receive the goods that the fates pro vided and to accept the game at the hands of the Dopefuls. to 2, without trouble. Abetting the visitors in their efforts to salt away the victory were two newcomers to New Hayen's circle. one Donnelly performing in left field until forcibly dragged from the gar den, while an individual named Mitch ell, who likewise essayed to play the position, was also removed before any thing worse could befall him. Between the two. however, four runs were handed to Springfield, and their pres ence will be no more noted in the com binatiOn. The score:

 Jack is good man. said Jefries, and I feel confident that if he eve, meets Hart he will beat him.

WEIRD TALE OF ROBBERY.
Victim Sure, at Least, That He Drank
Something.

About o'clock yesterday morning
wild eyed man rushed into the Union Market
police station and told story of being
rohl ed at the rear of shoe store at 6O7
East thirteenth street. His story was
so remarkable that detectives were sent
to the place. where they found two men.
who sal d they were Abraham Goldman
and Philip Rothenterg of 20 Orchard
street
Goldman said he owned the store and
lived in the rear. Both were arrested.
Later in Essex Market court the alleged
victim. who said he was Bernard Deitz OF
10 Third street Jersey City, said he had
gone to Bronx Park on Sunday, had met
three men, had taken a hoat ride with them
and had drunk somethng that made him
dizzy. They took him down town to this
shoe store, he said. placed him in a led,
tied his hands and legs. gagged him, and
after stealing SIS and a gold watch turned
him into the street
I he third man. who was not found, had
rohred hin declared Deitz.
Dietz could not identify the prisoners
as having had It hand in the alleged rob-
berry, although he said they were with him.
"'fhe evidence is not sufficient" said
Magistrate Finn, and he discharged the
prisoners

INTERSTATE DECISION.
Commission Holds That II Has Jurisdlctio on
Over Refrigerating Car Rates.

WARRINGTON, July "a decision of some
interest, in view of the alleged private car
abuses on railroads, was handed down
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day. The case was that of charges for
transportation and refrigeration of fruit
by the p re Marquette and Michigan Cen
trail railroads.
The commission holds that railroad COM
panies are required at common law to fur
nish suitable transportation facilities, and
it follows that the railroad companies in
this case. holding themselves, out as COM
mon carriers of perishable fruit must pro-
vide the necessary refrigerator cars for
the traffic. that during the performance
Of the transportation the car is the car of
the railroad company using it. and its
measure Of responsibility az to the suf-
ficiencv Of the car is the same, whether
it obtains the car by purchase or lease:
that railroad company holding itself
out as a carrier of a commodity which
can only move under refrigeration is or
dinarily in duty bound to furnish that
refrigeration, for the icing is not mere
incident Of the transportation service, but
is a part of the service itself: that refrigera-
ton, being incumbent upon the carrier as
part OF the transportation, the charge for
that service STANDS IKE any other charge
for transportation and it is the duty of the
carrier to publish. file with the commission
and observe it's refrigeration charges. over
which the commission has the same juIis-
diction as Of any other charge for trans
poration; that it is not within the province
Of the commission to prescribe the method
or kind Of refrigeration charges which
shall he adopted by the carrier.
In this case the commission finds that the
reasonable refrigeration charge on Michi-
gan fruit shipped to interstate destinations
from points in Michigan, based upon the
cost Of the ice actually used. would be
$3.50 per ton.
For various reasons stated by the COM
mission, including the consideration that
the commission is without authority to
fix rates for the future, no Older is issued
al this time
