ANCIENT PHRASE A MlsNOMER

money In Chancery" Not What the
Name Implies, English Say.
Most people have. heard the phrase
money in chancery," but it is more
than doubtful whether many people
know what the money is or how IT,
came into chancery or how it gets out
in most cases after the lapse of many
years, says the London Answers.
As matter of fact, the phrase mon
ey in chancery" is MISSIONER, for
there is not now court OF chancery
as a separate organization. 1t was
killed by act of parliament, the julica-
ture act doing the deed. There is a
chancery division of the high court Of
justice, and the money commonly cali
ed money in chancery is simply stand
ing in the books of the supreme court
pay office.
How did the money get there?
Imagine typical case. A man dies
IN 1850. He leaves property to trus-
tees in trust for his four children.
One of these children goes abroad ana
settles out there. Some dispute arises
between the other children and the
trustees. The matter comes before tho
court, and the trustees are ordered to
pay the shares into court. They do
this, and in time the three childre.s
are able to draw out their shares, but
the one abroad never claims his, ana
unless he or his descendants claim the
money 1t will lie there still.
There is nothing more unprontable
| than the pursuit Of money In chancery.
Dozens Of people have wasted their.
means and their lives at the game 81
| hunting unclaimed funds. One In q
hundred may get something In the end.
The other ninety mine find themselves
baked and disappointed.
Some people run away with the idea
that because they happen to bear the
same name as one Of the people mem
toned in the list Of unclaimed funds
In the books of the supreme court
therefore they stand a good chance Of
| getting something. That IL not %,
and even people with uncommon
names, although they see similar

One day she caught him In the act,

sadly. "Why do you always disobey

SMITH WINS TWO
FROM MANHATTAN
Lofler Hurler Work in Both Games
and Pitches Sensational
Ball.

Smith pitched Loffier to a pair of VIC
tories over Manhattan yesterday in the
Independence League, winning his first
game, 3 TO ., and getting his second
when he scored the winning run in the
ninth inning OF the last contest, giving
Loffler a to 5 game.
The Maryland Agricultural hoy was
stingy with his hits in the opening en-
gagement, both OF Manhattan's runs Ua-
ing due TO errors. In the second game,
however, the speed boys got to him
on the jump and lie had a hard uphill
fight.
Walter Hughes twirled the early game
for Manhattan and was freely hammered
by the Loffierites sensational fielding back
of him keeping the score down.
A warm reception was accorded Powell
who started in the second for Manhat-
tan and after four runs had been scored
of him, he was relieved by Hughes in
the first inning. The big boy worked
well, but his hand was hurt by Myers
hard drive, and in the seventh inning Nc
Mahon replaced him.
Lofflers winning tally came across IN
the ninth. when Smith opened with a
single, reached second on J. Donnelly's
error. and scored when Neal smacked
out his second double of the game. Score:

pitcher went out Of the game broken
hearted through the hitting and base
running Of the three. Pittsburg became
known as a three-man team, through
their great work.
The above table shows in thirteen years
these three men had a grand average
Of 20 and a fielding average Of .e43, a
remarkable record.
Some idea Of the heart-breaking pace
led by these men can be had from
the fact that 5,9o5 times they hit safely
after coming to bat no more than Ie,043
times; Of these 5.s65 hits the total bases
were $500. and 80 were two-baggers,
4s6 three-baggers and 155 times their
clouts were good for the whole circuit.
How they ran bases can be told no bet

Leach, because 1850 fans who watched

Mcketrick, after having spent twenty
four hours endeavoring to make Jack
Johnson take $4,000 for his end to fight
Joe Jeanette at Madison Square Garden

trip was unsuccessful Gibson cannot
understand Johnson's refusal to accept
the largest amount ever offered a fighter
for a ten-round contest with no decision.
Mcketrick maintains that with johnson
II is a case Of sure defeat by Jeanette
Mcketrick was so anxious to get John
son in the ring that he agreed to accept
almost nothing for Jeannetes service,
and further agreed TO give Johnson jean
nette's end OF the pictures; but johnson
would listen to nothing but a $4,000
guarantee. Johnson says he will retire
on Labor Day. and has announced that
under no consideration will he make the
trip to Australia or accept the OFFER Of
$4,000 made by the Paris Club to box
Jeanette. Johnson claimed he would
not fight Jeanette in Paris because he
retires on Labor Day, and has not

Another ScoreIess Battle.

This was not the only long scoreless
game that these two teams played into
extra innings. In 1904, at Washington,
there was seen one of the prettiest pitch
ers duels that has probably ever been
seen anywhere. Killian pitched for De-
troit and Patten for Washington. and
both pitchers went thirteen innings TO a
scoreless finish. 1t was a struggle be-
tween southpaws. So keen was II that
neither pitcher I'm the long struggle gave
base on balls or hit batter. Five
Tigers got to first and nine Senators, but
not a player scored. and only two ever
got to third. Patten was hit only four
times, and three Of them were scratches.
Killian was touched up eight times, but
the bingles were far apart.
Donovan's sensational catch saved the
game for Washington He was playing

which became more marked in the eighth.
He began the ninth and after pitching

Street for help. After he pitched the
third ball in the ninth, he reeled and
would have fallen, but for Donahue, who
caught him in his arms. The crowd, on
the first sign of his weakening, was in
clined to tjosh'' him, but when It was
learned that he had strained his left side
and was really suffering, the Detroit fans
rose in a body and cheered Gray all the
way to the Detroit clubhouse. II the
two teams made record that day for
play, the fans of Bennett Park made an
other not a whit less honorable for JUS
tice, fair play. and hearty appreciation
Of good sport and that. too, in the face
of severe tests by wavering decisions.
Groom Goes In.
CantiIlon then sent 'Ianky'' Bob
Groom in. and he held the Tigers for
which five hits were made of him, but
they were scattered. and no harm came
But his fielding was especially good.
Once Detroit had men on third and sec
ond with Cobb up and one down, but
Groom got the runner at the plate
But the feature OF the game was in
the fifteenth. and Bob was the figure in
IL, too. Killifer was on third for De-
troit, Summers on second and McIn-
tyre on first: Bush had fouled out, and
Crawford was up. KillIfer took a long
lead OF third. Sam hit the ball toward
second and Groom fielded It. The ball
made a bad rebound and Bob was a
little slow getting it. Killifer crossed
the plate as Groom threw. Street, WASH
ington's catcher, believed Killifer safe.
Every one else thought the same, and
Kerins gave the safe sign beyond any
question. Street kept the ball in his
hand and went to the bench to remove
his mask and protector. The infield
came In and the outhelders were on the
run for the bench. Umpire Kerins
stood at the plate, and when asked by
incoming players what was the matter,
replied tersely: Runners out" He ex-
planned after that he at first thought
that there were only two on instead of
three and he did not recognize the force
plar.
The merit of Groom's great play loses
nothing by saying that Detroit won in
greatness of It and beyond question
helped in the quick readjustment Of
things and the smoothness with which
the game went on again. But the in
stance stands out in the annals of base
bail, that are all too crowded with
hard feeling and prejudice, as tribute
to the sportsmanlike qualities OF the
Bennett Park crowd.

Out in the big world at Bennett Park,
Detroit, bounded on the North that day
by Stanage, Street. and Schmidt: on the
South by Clyde Milan and ''wahoo
Sam Crawford: on the East by Claude
Rossman and "Jiggs" Donahue; and on
the West by Wild Conroy and Pat
Moriarty, there happened events, just
three years ago. which are worth while
telling over and over again. Tor there
was spread out on the annals Of baseball
that day a score such as the world has
never seen equaled. in a mighty strug-
gle between the lowly Senators and the
lordly Tigers, filled with surprises and
the kind OF nervy. braIny play that grips
mems souls in the nerve-racking crises
of the game.
What matters it whether it was UNI
pfre Kerin's decision or his indecision
which. on July 1s. 1909, sent game that
all admit should have ended in the fif-
tenth inning in favor of Detroit, into
eighteen scoreless innings? Or that, tired
and exhausted by the three hours and
fifteen minutes of superb struggle Of
skill. science, and sharp wits, and with
daylight enough left to have gone on for
an inning or two longer, KERN should
have called the game and have left 1t
in the air? For after all, The plays
of the giIt-edged, alright variety to last
a lifetime In the minds of those who
were fortunate enough to see that fierce
combat.
Back in June, Joe Cantillon, the des-
perate manager Of the Inflated Nationals,

for his team to pull out OF the groove
into which they had almost grown. de-

after the manner OF his predecessors.
Yet the tail-enders played midseason
ball that day and did things which were
the envy of many a team that finished
higher up.
Summers Big Man.
The biggest man in that game was
Eddie Summers, Detroit's pitcher, who
fought 1t out for the whole eighteen IN
nings without relief of any kind. Six
hits were made OF his delivery during
the game, and of these, FIVE were made
in the first six innings, and only one in
the last twelve. Not base on balls did
he give until the seventeenth inning, when
be passed the only man on his b. b. list.
He was apparently stronger at the finish
than at the start He got into holes. st
is true and two unassisted double plays,
one OF which probably prevented run
by Washington in the early part of the
game, helped him out. But there were
errors by his own team behind him, and
It was in these that Summers showed
himself at his best. He struck out ten
washington batters, about one out of
every six that faced him in the long
game, but he did 1t when 1t was most
needed.
Dolly Gray started at the slab for
Washington. and pitched almost hawless
bail for eight and third innings. Only
one hit was made OF his delivery, and
that was by Mcintyre. the arst man TO
