The tremendous interest that is being
manifested IN the games for the
worlds baseball championship between
the Pittsburg and Detroit teams and
the large attendance are now the main
topics in sporting circles. In the first
game OF tho series the official attend
ance was 29.24S with 500 free admis-
sions. At least 10000 persons were
denied admittance to the park. In
fact, many hundreds slept outside the
park all night in hopes of gaining the
cream OF seats. In the second contest
the turnstiles at the gates showed
that S0,915 persons passed into the
grounds. Detroit as well as Pitts
burg is baseball mad. Long before
the gates were opened many thousands
besieged the box Office at Bennett park.
Many hundreds also camped out all
night in order to be in line. Nothing
like It has ever boon seen I'm the City

two first games in Pittsburg are as
follows: Tickets sold. 60,691; tickets

On cross-examination the witness
testified that he did not think that the
hides found by! the officers had been
very recently used.
The respondent, Charles f. Brann,
took the stand in his own behalf He
testified that since he went into busi-
ness last May his place has been
searched four or five times and on
each occasion a thorough search of the
premises was made. During none of
the searches was any liquor found. He
has sold no intoxicating liquors since
he went into business at this place and
his principal business is the sale of
JIno beer. He had never sold any beer
containing more than 8 per cent. of al
cohol to his knowledge. He had never
constructed any hides in the building
and he had never had occasion to use
any of the hides.
Continuing, the respondent testified
that intoxicated men had been in his
place but he always drove them out.
He did not permit any intoxicated per-
sons to drink liquor in the place.
On cross-examination by County
Attorney Hildreth the respondent de-
MED that he told Officer Locke that he
was emptying liquor from one bottle
to another. He testified that he left
his vocation as a papermaker to en-
gage in the business of selling Uno
beer.
After an eloquent closing argument
by Fred Emery Beane in behalf of the
respondent court adjourned until $50
o'clock Saturday morning.
