 About II o'clock last evening the residents in the vicinity of the lots short distance above the plant of the Hellmann Brewing company were awakened by cries for help. On investigation no one could be found in the meadows whence the yells came, but this morning 1t was learn- ed that several men had a fight and one of them was badly battered. No arrests were made.
 "A woman running as fast as her legs could carry her and pursued by a man, undoubtedly her husband, caused some excitement on Bank street this morning. Near the Bank street bridge the man behind caught up, and grabbing the runaway with his hand he gave her a jerk which she undoubtedly felt. as she instant ly stopped. The male member of the family was evidently in the right or else, the better half was under the impression that might was right for she retraced her steps and walked back to her home on North Riverside street as meekly as a lamb.

 The windup of the game last Sunday between the Hills and the Brooklyns brings back to mind the game between the Merrimac Juniors and the Moonlights at the Rye lots two years ago. There was any amount of money bet on the game which was for a s75 a side. Dave" was umpire and there was a large crowd of fans on hand. Be- fore the game was finished the root CTS began to swarm on the field and the last few innings were played amidst the widest kind of excite ment- In the last inning the Mer- despite the rowdy tactics of some of the spectators, went one run ahead, making the score to 6. But the Moonlishts had another bat com ing and before they got 1t the game was called. The Moonlights claimed the game because they were ahead at the end of the even innings. The umpire gave the game to the Moon- lights . few days later and called all bets oR. The only way fin which the game of two years ago resembled that of last Sunday was the enshus- Iasm shown towards the end and the doings after the Merrimacs vent to the front There was no question as to who won the game of last Sunday and where the money should go. The old Rye lots vas the scene of many an interesting battle both In football and baseball. as we'll as in the soccer game Although the mounds are used occasionally now thsy are in poor condition
