against it as he did not believe that the
wholesalers should go into the retail
business. He said that he would vote
for a license for some other individual
to have saloon at the site which was
mentioned but would not vote for a
wholesaler to get new license there.
He also stated that he took this ground
not on renewals but simply on new
applications
Lucas signified his intention of re-
signing from the Liquor CommissiG
some two months ago and was with
difficulty kept from doing so at the
time. Yesterday when the other mem
bers of the Board acted in a manner
which he did not approve of he be-
came angry, according ito his own
sttement, and pulled out Immediately,
though in speaking Of this action later
he said that while it was done hastily
he was glad that it was over with.
The Board is apparently willing to
grant restaurant license to Peacock
& Co., and probably saloon license
| could be obtained by some other indi-
vidal of good character but not by any
wholesaler r. ]. Buchly, of the Pea
cock company, was called before the
Board and asked if the firm would
| withdraw the letter in which it stated
that it did not want a restaurant IL
cense, but said that a place of this
kind would not pay unless the COM
pany could get just the right man to
run it and that the man whom the firm
had in view had accepted other en-
ployment.
The application of Chung Tong
Chong for a saloon license for place
in the Mendonca block was referred tC
Inspector Fennell for report. Isaac
Cockett, who applied for a two days
license of the third class for use during
the Wild West show, was put off fol
two days till he could get the approva
of the Park Commissioners.
An application for a third class Ii
cense to be held in the premises o
the Hoffman saloon was turned down
the location being held to be insult
able for that class of license. Thu
application was for a special licens'
for July 16 and II. The board will
meet again on July is and on July 1S.

The departure of the chartered

opening of a strong agreement between
the American-Hawaiian S. s. Co. and

PUTS THE BLAME ON
THE CHICAGO
CLUB
National Commission Renders
Decision on ScaIping During
Worlds Championship Series

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1S--The National
baseball commission tonight handed
down decision in regard to the sale
of tickets during the worlds champion
ship series in Chicago. The decision
says:
I'VE are of the opinion that the Chi
cago club is deserving of the severest
criticism and censure for the manner in
which it handled the sale of the tickets
during the last worlds series and that
it must be held responsible for the
great annoyance they caused many pa
irons of the game in Chicago, and
that the complaints filed with the COM
mission by the Chicago public We're
justified and warranted.
There was no direct charge made
or proof offered that any one connected
was in collision with the scalpers, vet,
at the same time, we call Mr.. Murphy'S
particular attention to the sale of tick
cts and request that he make a fur
ther examination of this particular fea-
ture of the case TO ascertain. if pos
sible. just in what manner these tickets
were secured by these persons
The commission announces that here
after all the tickets for all the games
during the entire series Will be handled
by them and that an attempt will be
made to adopt rules with reference to
sale to prevent not only such
tickets reaching the hands of scalpers
IL possible. but to afford the general
public every opportunity to get them
not in excess of those fixed BY the
COmmi SSfOn.

LINE UP ON THE
DIAMOND
Transportation Club and United
Railroads Team TO Battle
This Afternoon

change in the schedule of the Bay
Cities league viii bring the United
Railroads team and the Transportation
club together this afternoon at Recrea-
ton park, instead of the latter team
and the Wiley B. Aliens, as was an
nounced yesterday. The inability of
Henry Haitmuller TO get together his
strongest lineup on working day, and
the desire of the league mana gers 10
make its next game of such a class that
the fans cannot help being pleased. was
responsible for the substitution Of the
trolley men.
All doubts as TO the right to use the
grounds that arose with the threateneS
break in the league was dispelled last
night, when communication from ex-
Secretary Bracket and ex-President
Lowry was received by the league
directors, in which they said that their
desire to promote baseball had led them
to gracefully withdraw from the con-
trogersy.
In this afternoons game Manager
Pidge of the United Railroads will send
either Van Otterman, the soldier mar
vel, or Tom Seaton, Big BilI' Burns
protege, in to pitch. Jenkins, the Trans
portation clubs best man, who has been
out of the game through illness for two
weeks, will return to the slab.

Six Months

WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.--A success

prevent large losses to bankers who
have loaned money on opium in ware
houses in San Francisco and other
ports where opium has been imported,
through the enactment of the bill

into this country.
When the bill came up before the

as was provided in the original draft
The reasons he presented were sufficient

to a subcommittee today for amend
ment so that il will become effective
six months after passage. The refer
ence of the bill to a subcommittee will
prevent its being reported to the house
until after the IA members of the COM
mittee who will go TO Panama on a

One Gambler Reported to Have
Won by Turning Down of
the Bold Scheme
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lOpcStdt DiSPutCH 10 4 ne Saul
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Sporting men
along Broadway We're busy discussing
today story that may throw some
light on the alleged attempt to bribe
the umpire who officiated in the final
New York Chicago game at the Polo
ground last fall to throw the result
in favor of McGraw's club. For sew
eral days the story has been in circula-
tion and the names of two well known
gamblers, who have made book at
racetracks in various parts of the coun-
try, are involved.
1t is said these gamblers played
an important part in the arrangement
OF the Corbett-McCoy alleged fake
night in Madison Square garden eight
years ago. According to the yarn the
gamblers wanted TO cinclt New York
victory so they could bet large sum
against the Cubs.
In order to put through this deal,
therefore, it is said they sent man
who had long been mixed up in the box
ing game to the umpires with a money
proposition, which was promptly
turned down.
When this became known another
well known gambler proceeded to cover
the other gamblers money and cleaned
up $1,000 on the Cubs victory. Those
who circulated the story said that the
facts could be substantiated if the ma
tional leagues Investigating commit
tee decided to seek the truth.
