vice president and general superin-

The visit of these officials is ex-
citing unusual comment because of

fore. the announcement will be made
of the appointment of Assistant Su-
perintendent Hutchins of the Texas

ent which position now is vacant,
since the promotion Of Mr.. Neff
While nothing definite of an official

preston is strong that Mr.. Hutchins

Interpretation Of the law is applied

there would be in our statutes a law

which today faced the prosecution

The trifling fact that Wall street
broker was short some five thousand
shares Of Union Pacific, paled today
into mere incident, to his way OF
thinking, in comparison to who Nc
Graw would select to face the White
Elephants this afternoon.
There are some people left in New
York today, but one wouldn't think
so to watch the long trains that come
rolling into Philadelphia this morn
ing, filled with enthusiastic Giant
rooters. New York has taken a new
lease of life, and was willing to wager
whatever funds the cafe hat boys
may have left them, that the deciding
game of the series would be played at
the Polo Grounds Friday afternoon.
The early morning fans. lined up
for the bleacher entrances shortly al
ter day light, and more than hVe
thousand made the rush for the best
seats when the gates were opened.
One thing remarkable about the
gathering today for the sixth game
was the enthusiasm displayed by the
New York rooters, who have been
charged with having a severe case
of cold feet throughout the series
This charge cannot be driven home
now, for the first appearance of the
New York players was greeted With
wild burst of applause that sounded
like the echoes of Cogan's Bluff il
its prime.

quietly at their hotel. The arrival OF

New York was part of McGraw

other supreme effort.
There could not have been a more

made to order. The crowd even went
after ice cream cones, which is going
some for October &c.

Jack Coombs' injury yesterday put
him out of the series. a tendon OF
his right leg was strained. The
strain is not serious, but all next WIN

The Giants were more clipper than
before yesterdays game. There was
less evidence of nervous strain than
before the previous game.
