BASEBALL NOTES.

The old Baltimore Orioles lost their first game with the present Baltimore Eastern leaguers at Baltimore Mon- day by score of 8 to 5. Jack Doyle of Holyoke covered second base for the old-timers. He had one hit in three times up, seven putouts, two assists and one error. George Hem- ming of this city is booked to pitch one of the games. Dan Brothers is covering first base for the ancients.
 The Boston American league club is reported as being likely to pur- chase the Rochester Eastern league club for use as a farm. Fred Lake has been looking over the Rochester franchise and If the Boston club takes it over he may be installed as mana ger.
 Sammy Strang of the New York Nationals is one of several bidders for the Birmingham franchise in the Southern league. He is a Southerner and wants to end his baseball days below the Mason and Dixon line.

POLO PROSPECTS POOR.
Eastern League Not Likely to Ma
 teriaIize.

Polo prospects in Springfield grew dim yesterday, when T. F. Smith of Schenectady, N. Y, was the only del- egate to come to that city for the an- nounced meetings of the newly or ganized Eastern Polo league. Charles F. Kennedy, who was handling the Springfield end of the affair, says he is not at all certain now that the plans will mater :alize, as Holyoke has not come tp the front. More over, North Adams didn't display any enthusiasm yesterday. Harold R. Durant, the Waterbury base ball manager, sent word that he couldn't give the matter of taking up team his attention. MT Durant had been in line for a franchise in North Adams or Pittsiield if no one in those cities took up the project. The plan may be revived, but tho indications are that Springfield will not be in any polo league for this season.

and Panic and Failure Follow.
 New York, Oct. 17.--Disaster has overwhelmed the speculation in the United Copper company, the $500O0,- GOO Heinze copper holding and financ- ing concern, and in the collapse of Heinze securities Gross x Kleeberg, brokers of the Montana mining men, were forced to the wall, while the firm of Otto Heinze x Co.,, bankers and brokers, was unable to fulfill demands made on it by fellow members of the New York stock exchange.
 Effects of the collapse in the Hcinze copper company were most extensive. The ramifications of the enterprise of Frederick Augustus Heinze, the domi- nant spirit of the Heinze brothers since his entrance in banking institu- lions in this city, proved to be of such a character that the developments in United Copper sent series of convul- sions through the stock market. Enor- nous losses were sustained in mining stocks and leading railroad shares The lowest level of the year was reached in the stock market It was a day of semidemoralization in Wall street

telegraphers of that city next Sunday. The telegraph companies have ahso- lutely refused to confer with the men on any basis. Small has wired the President complete statement of the affair thus far telling him of his in- tentions and putting it up to the ad- ministration to prevent the general strike and subsequent tying up of all kinds of business in the territory west and south of Chicago. That city is the relay and distributing point for all telegraphic business of the west, just
 as New York and San Francisco are for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts re- spectively. To reporter President Small, before leaving. said: "1t is not our desire to tie up the wires by talk ing our men off them any more than We have to. We had hoped to bring the companies to their senses hy strik- ing in Frisco but apparently they have not yet had enough. We have done all We can to prevent trouble and in- convenience to the country at large, all apparently without avail. We have tried to get arbitration but have been turned down by both the tele- graph companies and the President, and now consider it is up to to Us take whatever steps appear the most convenient to bring the companies to time, Fully so per cent. of the expert men of the country are members of our union and there is no question in our minds but that We will win.
