WRIT OF ERROR
In Second District Primary Case
Especial to The Free Lance)
Richmond. Va. Jan. II.


Richmond, Va. Jan. II.
The Supreme Court of Appeals
refused a writ OF error in the case
OF Commonwealth against certain
election officials indicted for alleged
frauds in connection with the Con
gressional primary in the Second
district last August. The court
however, handed down an elaborate
opinion, holding that while the
State had no right OF appeal in
criminal cases the validity OF the
law governing general elections ap-
piled with full and equal force to
primary elections is valid in every
respect and holds that as the IN
dictments against the election Of
ficers were quashed on a demurrer
the grand jury can proceed to IN
diet and the men tried de novo. The
decision is in line with the
refusal OF the court 10 grant
writ of error in the Jackson-Wise
case tried here five years ago when
Wise was convicted Of fraud and
forced to serve term In jail.

Many Wild Rumors
Going the Rounds
Giants Players Are Said to Be in All Sorts OF
Trouble-Snodgrass Reported Killed
and Is in New York.

ed districts and about the sporting CEN
tiers Tickets bought or sold"
Despite the rain and gloom, il was a
busy afternoon for the scrihes The
widest rumOrs were circulated from
time to time. First Catcher Arthur
Wilson, of the Giants, was accused of
having been arrested as a ticket scalp
er, and OF having tried to hribe the
police to let linn off. The afternoon
sheets came out with a wild-eyed story
that Fred Snodgrass had been assassin
ated, which is supposed to have ema-
mated from Wall street Snodgrass went
TO New York this morning with Beals
Becker and for a few hours there was
all sort of excitement. until the bear
story was DF5ved n bugaboo. 1t was
also said that Baker was in a local hos
pital suffering from blood poisoning
from the wounds inflicted by Snodgrass'
spikes, but that. too. was joke. Baker
was around tonight in all his glory.
Says Jennings Tipped McGraw.
Another scandal has been precipi-
tated by Harry Davis. captain OF the
worlds champions, who is to manage
Cleveland next year. Davis openly ac
cused Hughey Jennings, leader of the
Tigers, of being a traitor to the Amer
lean League. Harry claims that Jen-
nings tipped off the weaknesses Of the
White Elephants to his old friend, John
J. MCGraw. Davis says that on Satur-
day. after SnOdgrass had spiked Baker.
he said that the Detroit players had
disposed the Giants to intimidate the
Athletics with their spikes. Davis saws
that Snodgrass showed him his sharp
spikes. and said that John T. Brush
had provided all the team with new,
sharp-spiked shoes. jennings and the
Giants all deny Davis allegations. SO

WESTERN TO-DAY
First Inter- High Game on
the Hilltop.

Central High School plays Western
on Georgetown Field to-day. The
game will be called at p. m.
Neither Capt. Krentzlin, of Western,
nor Fitz Reuter-, Of Central, will start
the game. This is the first game of
the inter-high school series, and will
give a good line on Western, which is
usually the dark horse in the race.
Westerns team is light and fast, and
should their ends stop the rushes of
CentraIs speedy back field the Red and
White will hold Central to a small
score. Should Western succeed in get
ting the ball within thirty yards of
CentraIs goal line. Howard will un-
doubtedly drop kick the oval over. The
Blue and White have about twenty
pounds weight to the man advantage
over Western, and should win by about
three touchdowns.

and will conduct all the affairs Of the

Capital City Park for all games. Nego-
tiations are now being carried on with

There never was a chance for a game
but it was not until just before noon
that the official announcement from the
national commission came. The com
mission was over in New York trying
TO decide whether extra dry belongs to
France or America, while the followers
of the series were here, waiting.
The day was one of the widest ru-
mOrs and reports that went to make
sensational stories for the papers here.
Among the things printed and reported
were:
That Fred Snodgrass was shot by a
friend or relative of Frank Baker, who
was cut by him.
That Baker was in a local hospital
at the point of death from blood poi
soning. promptly deniedD
That the occupants of the Eastern
Pennsylvania prison here have rebelled.
and decided to break out unless they
were sent to the game when Il was play
ed here and plaCated by being permitted
to get the scores by innings. and by be-
ing assured that their regulations would
not endure association with the national
commission.
That Art Wilson, catcher for the New
York Giants. had been arrested for ticket
scalping while in uniform after the first
game here. Untrue)
Man giving several names arrested.
One name was Wilson.
That no world. series tickets were
sent out by mail at all, and that the pos
tai service officials found that every pos
tai money-order sent to the commission
had been returned.
That Harry Davis accused Hughie Jen-
nings of being a traitor to the American
League, and that be advised McGraw to
send his men out to chop Bakers legs
up with their spikes.
That John T. Brush, personally. bought
Fred Snodgrass a pair of baseball shoes
with extra long spikes, for the purpose
Of cutting Frank Bakers legs.
That Horace FUgel had decided to buy
Charlie Murphys share of the Chicago
club
That Gov. F. w. Plaisted, of Maine.
thanked Jack Coombs in the name of
Maine for beating the Giants.
Out of the reek Of rumor and scandal
the thing remains clear that IT is the
worst managed and most scandalous
worlds series ever staged; that the Won
derful playing of the teams is being mar
red by the petty larceny methods of
those who are in charge of the box of
fees. The fact is the graft is getting
too big, and that unless baseball club
owners get busy quick and clean the
Augean stables they will follow horse
racing to sporting purgatory.
The New York team remained at the
Majestic Hotel; that is, ostensibly. but
a bunch of the players slipped away and
returned to New York as soon as the
official announcement of the calling on
was made. 1t looks like clearing wealth
er tonight and as IL there is a chance
for to-morrows game, if the mash COM
mish'' gets up in time to come over and
attend to 1t.

By w. j. McBETH.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. l9.-There is a
bare possibility that the worlds cham
pionship series between the Giants and
the Athletics may resume at Shibe Park
tomorrow afternoon. Prognosticator
Bliss. the local prophet. opines it will
rain all day Friday. He reckoned that
1t would be fair to-day, SO that the out
look is hopeful, at least.
Old Man Noah never saw as much
rain in twenty-four hours as has fallen
on this gloomy town within that short
space of time. Early tonight it had
cleared and the thermometer was rising,
and the heavens were still clouded,
threatening a fresh deluge at any minute.
Late this afternoon Shibe Park was a
mill pond. Local Inhabitants declared
that a game tomorrow was extremely
doubtful, no matter what the weather
conditions in the interim. Shibe Park IS
a new field and consequently dries slowly.
If there is action tomorrow, the COM
batants will be hampered by one of the
slowest fields imaginable.
1t was rumOred tonight that the ma
tiOnal commission had called off hOstil-
tiles until Saturday. The report could
not be verified, as the triumvirate did not
think enough of this town to come over
to-day from New York. Both the Giants
and the Athletics are anxious 10 mingle
as speedily as possible. The enforced
rest has both sides worried over the pos
sibility of going stale. Besides, a big
Saturday crowd in New York looks
mighty good from a monetary stand
point. 1t is not believed that the COM
mission would have the nerve to post
pOne a game here without waiting to
see what the weather may be, for the
commission is in rough with the local
fandom as 1t is. Philadelphia is even
more inCensed than New York over the
manner in which the sale of reserved
seats has been conducted. Between the
two cities organized baseball is going to
suffer mighty black eye if the con-
square matters.
No Mail Orders Filled.
The local post-oflce authorities have
discovered that not one mail order has
been filled for the games here. 1t was
also announced that II il could be
proved that large blocks Of tickets had
been disposed of TO private individuals,
the management OF the Athletics would
be prosecuted for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes.
1t is openly charges by the Quaker
City press that politicians Cornered the
ticket market, having eXtorted the paste
boards from the management under a
threat 10 withhold police protection. The
ticket speCulators claim that they We're
forced to paw exOrhitant prices for the
tickets by the politicians and that they
are being protected by the police.
