When the great New York mistake Of
barring Umpire tombstone from the Polo
Grounds was made it will be remembered
that Bob Emsiie. Johnstone's associate UNI

the game. thereby upsetung the crafty
plans of Brush and McGraw. Emslie acted
under orders In taking this stand, and the
New York club itself was responsible for
the issuance of such orders. Earlier in the
season Umpire Conway was working at
the Polo Grounds with another umpire On
the way off the field after game McGraw
said to Conway:

FRED CLARKE TO

PITTSBURG. October G.-Manager Fred
Clarke of the Pirates is out with an open
defiance of President Barney Dreyfuss.
Clarke has refused to go transforming with
the Pirates next week under the manage

will quit the team next Sunday. Clarke
has not signed for next year and 1t Is I'M
derstood he leaves Pittsburg for good.
The trouble between Dreyfuss and Clarke
arose because the Pirates were beaten out
for second place in the pennant race. Drey-
fuss RECENTLY said that some of his men
had too much money to play ball and that
he would compel them to play exhibition
games until October Is. when their con-
tracts expire for the season. Clarke OBJ

Powell and Young received kilograms from

Ned Hanlon was quoted as saying in New
York that no catcher of the present decade
had anything on John Killing. Yes, and no
catcher of the present came near having
anything on Lou Criger. Criger was easily
as decided factor in the landing Of two
pennants for Boston as has King been in
helping to win a pennant this season. No
catcher that has appeared in this city for
ten seasons has approached Crger in his

the Chicago city council in passing a

have combined to create sentiment
in favor of this method of curtailing
