Sues Bankrupt Company for That
Much Because Deal He En-
gineered Was Repudiated.

Milwaukee, Oct. 24.-S. w. McMunn,

against the National Electric company,
bankrupt, for 100000 which he claims
for conducting negotiations by which
the Westinghouse Traction Brake COM
pany was to purchase the National
Electric company for $2,4OO,OOO.
McMunn declares the negotiations
were practically completed, and the
Westinghouse company was ready to
take over the National Electric when
John l. Beggs was elected president of
the latter, and ''wrongfully and with
out the fault of the complainant caused
the negotiations to be dismissed" The
contract with the National Electric, he

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The Giants got back to the Polo Grounds on Sat
urday after Western trip that promised well
threatened disaster. and turned out better than
was at one time expected. They played sixteen
games and won eight, thanks TO a brace toward
the end. On the home diamond better results can
be looked for and confidently expected. Still safe
IN the lead. the championship should hardly be in
question. The Eastern teams in the National
League made a sorry showing the Western trip,
with the exception of Philadelphia and New-York
which broke even. Boston won only four games
and Brooklyn lene two Chicago won twelve
and Cincinnati eleven games and improved their
standing materially. In the American League the
Western teams are also playing stronger ball. and
altogether have won sixty-four Of the 1I6 games
played. Philadelphia is the only Eastern club in
the first division and the only likely 10 be there
for some time. The Highlanders were unfortunate
in having their series of home games materially
reduced through rain, and consequently take the
road again but little better off in the matter Of
percentage than when they returned from their
Western trip There is still for hope that
the team will be factor in the fight but the long
looked for brace cannot be long delayed. Cleve-
land, Chicago. Philadelphia and Detroit are all
playing fast ball and have championship aspra-
lions themselves.

COLLEGE BASEBALL.

II seems pity that Yale and Harvard have de-
cided TO settle the college baseball championship
with a single game at New-Haven tomorrow
With two teams evenly matched as last Thurs
days game plainly indicated when they fought
desperately for eleven innings without an advan-
tage for either. It would be more satisfactory If
the hes; two out of three games were played. That
both teams have agreed TO cast the DIG on a single
game is cause for some commentator, however.
II takes the game out Of the realm Of sordid COM
Tnercialism and makes it sport for sports sake.
To play one game instead of the best two in three
means q loss of hundreds of dollars the
athletic associations. but this has not been con-
sidered. presumably, in the face of the keen desire
each team has of winning the greatest game of
the season. Both Yale and Harvard are not par

possible for these TO pitch three such nerve

Quence each team is willing to let one game. with
its full strength in the field, decide the question
