The Letter That KilIeth.

1t is on record that Lord Denman
established his great reputation at the
bar by securing an acquittal in a ia
nous case on the ground that a GER
tin firm described in the indictment
as ''proprietors of a silk and cotton
lace mandatory should have been
described as "proprietors of a silk and
of cotton lace mandatory" it hav-
ing been ascertained that they made
both silk and cotton lace.
In 1927 a judge quashed an inquisi-
ton for murder because it was re-
ferred to the jurors as "on their
oaths," instead of ION their oath"
In yet another case the judge held
that the omission of the word "ewe''
was sufficient to invalidate a convic-
ton because the word "ewe" as well
as "sheep" was used in the statute.
In 1871 Lord Cardigan was indicted
for firing on Captain Tucker in a duel.
He was acquitted because the Cap
tain's Christian names were wrongly
entered in the indictment.
In another case about the same Pc
Rod legal document was invalidated
because the letters A. D. were used
instead of the words I'm the year of
our Lord" Review.

TAYLOR SEES NO SCANDAL
IN THAT ATTEMPTED BRIBERY

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The closing days
of the baseball meetings in New York
brought out some sensational talk. The
attempted bribery of two National
League unpires assigned to officiate at
the final Cub-Giant game, Oct. 8, made
the fans prick up their ears. But the
several American League magnates in
the city Saturday We're inclined to
think the so-called scandal was only
tempest in a teapot.
General Chas. H. Taylor of Boston,
who with his son, John l., passed
through the city en- route to San Fran
cisco. wanted to know where the
scandalous part of the bribery case
came In.
Instead of a scandal in BASEBALL
said Gen. Taylor, cit looks to me like
a big boost for the game. According
to the statement given out by the Ma
tional League, somebody tried to buy
an umpire, was sternly rebuked, and
that's all there is to it. The man who
tried to do the bribing was, according
to the National League, a person en-
tirely outside of the baseball circle.
Therefore, the whole matter looks like
another proof of the integrity of the
sport and the men who manage it in
stead of a scandal"

CRACK WRESTlERS WILL
PREF0RM IN AUGUSTA.

Augusta sports will soon see some Of
the best wrestlers in the country. Ar
engagements are being made by we'll
known sporting men to have some Of
the best mat artists in the business
appear at the Capital city this winter.
If possible the first match will be
held sometime this month with Eugene
Tremblay of Montreal one of the con-
testants. Tremblay is the present
holder of the Police Gazette $500 belt
for the lightweight championship of
America He has defeated all corners at
his weight, including Wilfred Bar
rette, who has wrestled considerably in
Lewiston, and Bob Somerville, the
pride of the Bath sports.
Tremblay is one of the best built
wrestlers which ever comes to Maine.
He is we'll proportioned, little and
quick as a flash. Moreover, the Mon
treal man is a perfect gentleman on
the mat as well as off.
Among the other wrestlers who will
be seen in Augusta within the next
few months are Raoul de Rouen, the
242-p6und wrestler who came to this
country from France only a few weeks
ago, Fred Beel, Emile Maupas, Youseff
Mahmet. THE Terrible Turk" HAL
mar Lundin and possibly early in the
spring, Frank Gotch, champion heavy

GENERAL SPORTS BOXING
$1,000 PAID TO SEE THE
YAlE.HARvARO GAME

New Haven, Conn. Dec. ia pre-
liminary estimate of the receipts and
expense by the Yale Football Associa-
ton at the recent Yale-Harvard game
in this city shows that 33,OSO seats
were sold to Yale and Harvard men
and 22O aisle tickets were also dis
posed of, making the receipts approxi-
mately s66,600. The expenses were
higher than usual, but each university
will probably receive about $25,000.
The clerical work was greater than
usual due to the great demand for
tickets and the necessity of returning
over $4,000 to applicants for lack OF
accommodations.

fault of $500 Fine and Costs.

Portland, Me, Dec. 13.-In the United
States circuit court Saturday. Wilbur F.
Rollins Of Gardiner, who was arrested in

office Inspector w. r. Robinson on the
charge of using the mail for sending OBJ
scene letters, was fined $500 and costs and

the Portland jail. He pleaded nolo con-
tendere. Rollins Is well known in Gard-
ner, Hallowell and Augusta.
f. Arnold Mosher of Hampden Corner
was indicted by the grand jury of the
United States circuit court at it's last
session for using the mail to defraud. In
court Saturday his bail was defaulted,
capias issued for his arrest and steps
will be taken to sue for the bail OF $1,000.
Mosher advertised in nearly all the
Maine papers for magazine subscriptions
on some club proposition. 1t is alleged
that he obtained several hundred dollars
as the result of the advertisements, but
failed to send to any of those who SUBJ
scribed the magazines and periodicals of
which he claimed to be the agent. He
also advertised an employment agency
and it is alleged. obtained large sums Of
money in this way for which he gave no
return. He was bound over in Bangor to
the term in Portland. His mother mort
gagged her home in order to furnish surety
for him.
Mosher failed to appear in court and
the bond will be sued for Mosher will
be arrested if he is found in the United
States.

New York. Dec 13.-John McGraw is a
much pleased manager. Stanley Robson.
president of the ST. Louis Nationals, and
Clark Griffith, new manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds, agreed on a trade depend
Ing on which was another between the
New Yorks and the Cardinals. whereby
Roger Bresnahan was to go to st. Louis
and manage the Cardinals, and Catcher
Schlei, Pitcher Raymond and Ou.fielder
Murray were to come to New York.
Schlei Is traded to ST. Louis for two
pitchers. Karger, the lcft-hander. and
either Fromme or Johnny Lush, the lat
ter also a left-hander. The trade hav-
ing been agreed on by Griffith and Robi-
son the New York-St. Louis swap was
ready to be put through, and that was
done in a few minutes when Robson
went around to see McGraw.
President Pulliam was closeted with
Empires KLEIN and tombstone Saturday

tempted bribery of the two umpires be-
fore the New York-Chicago game of Oct.
g. Pulliam will leave for California to-
morrow, where he and Ban Johnson will
try to bring the California State League
into organized baseball Manager Griffith
is keen for game between the Reds and
the New York Highlanders.
"I'll play them any time and place" he
said. Manager Stallings is said to be just
willing, and as the paths of the two
teams will cross in Atlanta next March,
a contest between them is a strong prob
ability No exhibition game between tho
two leagues would, attract more attention

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-'TWO veteran
players who have been with the Ameri-
can League ever since it expanded no
longer are connected with the junior Or
ganiZatCn. Connie Mack, manager of
the Philadelphia Americans. has present
ed to Jimmy Collins and Ralph c'Socks')
Seybod their unconditional releases. Col
Inns has slowed up greatly in his work
the last two seasons, and no longer is
able to stand the fast pace of the Ameri-
can League. Seybold undoubtedly would
still be one Of Comics regulars but for
his misfortune last spring in twisting his
ankle in an exhibition game Socks
took on weight during his dsablerent
and never could get back to playing form.
Seybold probably will join the Toledo
club, not as manager, as has been ru-
mored, but a private. Collins destina-
ton is thought to be Buffalo. The Bisons
want a manager, and Jimmy. being q
native son, probably would make a hit
We're he to be rewarded with the leader
ship of the Empire Staters. Mack uncon-
ditionally released the pair of veterans
so they would be able to seek new posi-
tons for themselves Connie could have
sold Collins to a minor league team for
$500, but refused to make any money
out of the veteran.
Ira, Thomas, formerly of the Highland
ers and last season with Detroit. has
been purchased from the Tigers by Mack.
Connie tried to land Spencer from st.
Louis at the last meeting of the Ameri-
can League, and when Boston got in
ahead of him turned his attention to get
ting Thomas. Mack paid cash for Thorn
as release, having no players whom the
Detroit club was willing to take.

coMISkEY THINKS PENALTY
WILL KEEP SMITH AT WORK

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Charley Comis-
key has forgiven Frank Smith, the
noted rubber-leg, and the big pitcher
Will not be traded by the Chicago
White Stockings. Commy will proffer
the Heron Hill boy a contract for
1909. but 1t will have in it a clause
assessing a large penalty for deser-
ton. Smith jumped the SoX twice last
season, and his absence in August I'M
doubtedly cost the South Siders the
pennant. The players are sore at Smith,
but probably will change their attitude
toward the pitcher now that Comis-
key. who had more at stake than any
one else. has forgiven the deserter.
Comiskey figures it would be hard to
get in return for Smith a pitcher of the
same class and that the desertion
clause In his contract will make a big
difference in the way the Allegheny
hoy will behave If Smith jumps the
White Sox once in 1909 that action will
cost him cool $1,000.

The conviction is general that with

immediate developments in business
