TRIALS OF TWO POLICEMEN FOR
MURDER rs YEARS APART.
Quite an amazing coincidence Is the
fact that Oct. 10. 1887. the work OF Sc

Of Policeman William Hahn was CON-
pleted. Hahn was on trial for the muir
der OF Capt. Jack Hussey. an employees

his credit.
The coincidence goes farther IN tina,
Hahn was clean cut young Officer Of

. while Becker Is accused OF instigatinl

National League President In.
vestigates Recent AIterca-
ton at Polo Grounds.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Thomas j.
Lynch. the energetic president Of the
National League. was the busiest base
ball magnate in the country during yes
terday's wholesale tempest. The execu-
tive OF the parent major league has q
mighty disagreeable task upon his hands
eliminating as q result Of the joust al
fisticuffs Saturday afternoon at the Polo
Grounds between Umpire Rigler and
bad Bill" Dahlen, manager Of the Docile
Dodgers.
Mr.. Lynch would not discuss the pain
full topic yesterday afternoon-at least,
not for publication. Between showers he
took the testimony Of some hundreds OF
more fans who were favored by ringside
seats for the mill. Mr.. Lynch, who was
spectator at the game, did not trust
to his own eyesight. His view was some.
what obscured by the circumstance OF
the big crowd rushing the park the Sec
ond Wilson waited his homer into the pa

he said:
IT am not now prepared to say who
Is at fault. / am conducting a very
rigid inquiry and will determine upon my
course tomorrow. You may say onicially
that the leagues attitude will be express
ed tomorrow. Who is at fault Will not be
disclosed until then"
While Lynch would give no inkling OF
his contemplated action. 1t would not be
at all surprising were both umpire and
manager set down for spell.

OUTFIELDER TOM LONG MAY

Bad Arm 'Kid's' Only Fault-Shanks and
Red Walker to Fill Util-
ity Roles.

| team Of Wagner and Stahl have made a
deep impression and it 10 really expected
| here that they win beat out the Athletics
| 1t is needless to say that the injury with
which Jack Cocmbs met In Washington
Saturday has not lessened the hopes Of
| the loyal patrons Of the game. There
thave been numerous inquiries by the Bos-
| ton players, critics and followers of the
| sport as to the seriousness Of Combs In

If Bender's running mate should be in
capacited for any length OF time the
Red Sox chances would be greatly
strengthened Second place is the worst
that they figure here for their team, and
question about the strength OF the team
and under Stahl's management matters
are running mighty smoothly and the
players are working together which
means much in base ball.
Dan Moeller, while he has had but a
small taste of American League base ball,
| feels confident that there will be no oc-
| casion for making any change In the
Nationals left field. While he realizes
that he has not been hitting as he should
to be OF good service to the team, he con-
siders himself as having been in a slump
such as all players encounter and that 1t
Is only question Of a little time when
he will be holding his own with the bat.
The fact that Moeller has been playing
ing for. as the position in left Is new to
him. there was some doubt as to whether
he would be able to give the team his
best services there. But Moeiler's field
ing since the season opened would be hard
to improve upon. He has covered q lot
of ground and given indications OF being
an intelligent ball player.
Nothing helps q team so much as to
have an outfield which plays properly
for the various batters. and that is one
thing which Moeller does to perfection.
Though not familiar with the batters OF
the American League. Moeller makes 1t
the bat and plays accordingly, as he has
the knack of detecting a batter's manner
Of hitting after he sees him play in a
couple Of games.
The suspension Of Mcbride will prove a
hard blow to the team. The clever short
stop was at his best this spring and has
been doing splendid work. Griffith's in
field without Mcbride is like a ship with
out q rudder and few victories can be
expected while he IL under the ban. Ray
Morgan IL not experienced enough to play
the position in important games and Nc
Brides absence Is sure to be felt.
In view Of the fact that Mcbride has
never offender before during the five
years he has played In the league 1t
seems that the punishment is decidedly Sc
we're and must have been the result OF a
distorted report which Umpire Westervelt
made to Ban johnson after the game Sat-
urday during which the umpire and Nc
Bride had q run-in. While the suspen-
sion Is apparently indefinite, 1t is not be-
lfeved that Mcbride will be out more than
q day or 50.
