the cellar honors.
The season is drawing fast to a close,
and still the Naval Medicos are leading

a hundred points. If the team con-

It is probable that it will finish in first

Important, If true.

Here is a letter which I received from
New York today, and which / think is
unusually interesting:
Teams visiting the Polo Grounds in
future will have to be on their mettle.
The management of the New York
baseball club has installed some thirty
odd dictographs in and about the new
steel and cement grandstand and
bleachers, ostensibly for facilitating
communication. This is the instrument
used recently by the detectives of w.
J. Burns to trap crooked OHIO State
legislators at Columbus, and which
brought about the conviction last week
of Rodney ]. Diegle, sergeant-at-arms
of the State senate on a charge Of act
ing as a go-between for solons willing
to barter their vote on measures pend
ing before them.
Shortly after the fire at the Polo
Grounds in May a Cincinnati fan who
had learned of the not generally known
fact that the old stands and bleachers
were connected with the dictograpn,
intimated that the Giants had had the
players bench of the visiting team con-
nected with the instrument and were
enabled by means of it to learn Of the
plans being framed up there to trim
them. Although vigorous denial of its
employment for this purpose was made
by Manager McGraw. many believed II.
lnasmuch as the transmitter Of the
instrument in the Columbus legislative
bribery cases was concealed under a
sofa In a hotel bedroom, 1t behooves
visiting managers henceforth to examine
the neither sides of their seats and the
bottom of the water cooler at the Polo
Grounds before they discus ways and
means of sending the Giants to limbo"
If this charge can be proven, 1t should
be taken to the highest court in base
ball, but the proposition does not look

The recent forfeits can easily be ex-
