JIMMY o,RoURKE's DEBUT.
Made a Successful Beginning With
 New York.

Jimmy O'Rourke of the Bridgeport club has joined the New York Amer jeans. He played second base Sat urday and acquitted himself finely against Cleveland, getting one hit, four putouts and two assists. The New York Press made the follow ing comment on his work yesterday: "O'Rourke pleased the multitude. the enthusiasts liking the way the Bridgeport recruit handled himself. Jimmy is a right-handed swatter. and is as fast, apparently, as the man he succeeds on the second sack. o. Rourke signalized his first appear ance at bat by beating out a hit to Bradley, and should have had two marks in the safety column. But in the ninth Lajoie darted behind sec ond base and, stopping o'Rourke's bid for a hit. threw the Bridgeport kidlet out at first by the narrowest of margins" .... #

 New York, Aug 17.-Alfred Has well, chauffeur for C. H. Robins of 301 Garfield place, Brooklyn. left Great River, L. l., yesterday to meet his employer at the Grand Central station. Haswell was late in start ing so he hi. up the pace. As he was going through Patchogue a Suf- folk county deputy sheriff halted him and he had to give bail to an- swer a speeding charge.
 The arrest having delayed hini Haswell had to hurry and while so doing he ran into an automobile trap in the village of Freeport. He was stopped again and again arrested and had to give bail 70 answer to a speeding charge in Nassau county.
 He started again toward Manhat- tan. but as he was coming along the Merrick road in Jamaica a bicycle policeman halted him and charged him with going 32 miles an hour. For the third time Hasvell gave bail. When he resumed the trip he de- elared he would cause his employer 10 wal. sooner than make it four times in an afternoon.

 The w. o. W. base ball team de- feated the local nine on Saturday by the score of 10 to 1. The game was good one until the seventh inning, when Zeidler was called out of the box and Wilkinson finished the game. It is said that Zeidler was i'll and very weak towards the last of the game, which accounts for his being hit so freely. The visitors were good ball players and as gentleman ly lot of ball players as ever play ed here. It is hoped that they will be seen here again soon.

POLICEMAN CRITICIZED.
\ Citizen Writes Regarding some
 thing He Saw Foot Guard Day.

While the Foot Guards were day afternoon a nicely dressed, intel ligent looking colored man was walk ing along the path leading from Tenn pie and Elm streets to Court and had reached about tho middle of the space which had heen cleared by the mounted police, when he was ordered hy tho mounted police to hurry across. This he did and as he rtach- cd point where the crowd stretched across the sidewalk at the Court street gate, he was confronted by of- flcer No, 136 The colored man re- spectfully asked of the officer If he could not get through there, as at this point the crowd was thinest This ignorant policeman brutally answered No you can't go by me. We saw too much of your kind Sunday night (probably referring to the cutting af- fray in the Ninth ward) go and get over the fence" and walked over to fence beside the man, leaning over toward him in threatening attitude the whole distance, and the man climbed the fence and was forced to go through where the crowd was so dense that 1t took up the whole width of the sidewalk, while at the point where he first met the officer the crowd was not over two deep and stood loosely
 I, as citizen, protest against such notions by one who is supposed to be A. servant of the people but whose ignorance and personal prejudice against the coored race, causes him to act in manner unbecoming one who is supposed to preserve law and order and to use his authority against an innocent man who had nothing to do with the affray which the officer probably alluded to- By using inno- cent men in this manner this officer is creating a race hatred that will soon or or later recoil on those who cause if A CITIZEN,
