local ball fans. as we'll as those who have
arrived during the past ten days, were
treated to a scrub game at Wilmington
Park yesterday. and. incidentally, some

season of the year.
The opposing mines were composed of
guests from the Arlington and Majestic
hotels The latter hosiery. which is to be
the home of the Boston Americans while in
spring practice, furnished Dave Bean and
Jimmy Collins. Early in the game the Ar
Iington pitcher was put out of commission
and Collins. who captained the Majestics,
lent the opposing nine the services of
Brain. who made quite hit by striking
out five men.
The game developed into a smuggling
match. In the fourth Collins contributed a
home run.
While the Arlingtons were at bat in the
fifth a storm Of cyclonic proportions broke
over the city. forcing all to seek shelter
and doing considerable damage to the
grand stand. the left wing OF which was
completely wrecked.
No attempt was made to continue the
game the score of which was II to in Ia
yor OF the Majestics.

SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY.
The New York Central Curtails the
improvements.

NEW YORK, January 22.-The directors
of the New York Central have decided to
curtail much of the construction and i'm
provement work that had been planned for
this year. They reached this decision. 1t Is
believed. on the advice of very prominent
bankers that the prosecution of all the work
planned by the big railroads Of the country
would involve an expenditure which would
produce even greater stringency In the
money market than was witnessed last
year. One of the best ways of avoiding a
crisis in the money market. the bankers
are said to have pointed out. was to shave
off appropriations not absolutely necessary
and the effect would be all the more salu-
tary If corporation with the Centrafs un-
doubted ability to raise money should set
the example.
The action of the directors does not mean
any cessation to work on the New York
city terminal improvements Ample money
Is to be provided that these may be COM
pleted as speedily as possible. On renewal.
Improvement and construction outside Of
the metropolitan district. however. 1t will
be the policy of the company to make haste
slowly unless there is an unexpected i'm
proyement IN the monetary outlook.
The scarcity Of labor and the high prices
of all materials are causes contributing to
the decision of the directors. and another
reason is found in the delays attending the
delivery of materials and equipment. But
the principal reason, 1t was believed in
banking circles, was the desire Of the man
agement to set the pace in a business
policy. the adoption Of which Ia considered
Of the greatest importance in the highest
financial circles.
The Central has in its treasury the
greater part of the 500. 600 900 capital stock
authorized last year. and, Of course, could
dispose of all or any part Of this without
trouble. For that reason the action Of the
management was considered likely to have
a remarkably beneficial effect in promoting
a wide adoption of the policy of going SOW
1t was not believed, bankers said today
that any remarkable cessation of activity
would ensue on the adoption of such a
policy, nor is this desired. but only that
the majority of bankers believe that safety

WHEN THE TIGERS
TROUNCED new YORK

If there was bright spot in the luekless
season which the Detroit base ball club
spent last year in the American League
hurly- bury, it occurred the time the New
York club was entertained for the final
time period at Bennett Park. The game
brought the Tigers to the scratch with a
chip on each shoulder. due to a grudge q
season old. and they simply put New York
out Of the pennant race The first game
was won by Detroit In a walk. Chicago
also won that day. and the combination
endangered Grinath's leadership of the
league. In the second game the Yankees
took a lead and held 1t right to the finish,
making it look safe till the very last in
ming. when. in a glorious batting rally, the
Tigers pulled up till q hit meant victory
and two were out. Bill Coughlin was up.
and the crowd went wild when the captain
larruped the ball on a line to left center.
Conroy made a brave effort to head II of.
but failed. and two runs were scored. In
its enthusiasm the craZed roOters missed
a little tragedy out there on the field.
Scrappy little Kid Elberfeld. the New York
captain had whirled the instant the bali
whistled over him to watch Conroy. He
saw the sphere go past and still he stood
mOtionless, gazing out into the distance.
The other New York players started for
their bench. for the game was over. but
Elberfeld still stood at his position, watch
ing the last hope of a league pennant, for
on the score board doomed large the result
of Chicago's victory. Conroy came in, his

PlTTSBURG BASE BALL
MAGMATE DEAD

PITTSBURG. January 2::-In the death
of W. A. Nimick of this city at Pasadena,
where he went a year ago for his health,
the base ball world has lost one of the
pioneers of organized base ball in this sec
ton of the country.
Mr.. Nimick is remembered by all old-time
fans as one of the original stockholders In
the old Allegheny, which later became the
Pittsburg Base Ball Club of the National
League. The Alleghenys were originally
organized by A. G. Pratt in 1880, and it was
not until two years later that the club was
Incorporated and conducted as stock
company.
AT this time there were 125 shareholders
Nimick being one of those backing the ven

debt Nimick took over the indebtedness and
assumed control of the franchise.
In 1887 the Pittsburg club became mem
Der of the National League, and Nimick
continued as president until 1890. remain
ing at the head of the local club through
out the brotherhood year. Although he was
an ardent adherent of the national game,
and many of his friends believe that his de-
votion to 1t during the early days of It's
organized existence in this section had
much to do with his later ill-health, yet he
never played the game after leaving col
lege, and never held any interest in any
other club
