1t was five years later that Flynn
again crossed the trail of John Schmitt.
One Joseph Stern reached the Bowery
from England. and some weeks later
presented for exchange in Grand
street bank G140 in English bank
notes. The teller examined the notes
critically. for the sum was great and
Stern was very plainly dressed. The
money seemed genuine. but Stern was
asked to wait. and Burns was called in
and pronounced it counterfeit despite

he was finally detected. and then he

received upon his pledge to go to Ber-

to London TO testify with regard to the
counterfeit that had been passed in
America. and so saw the little engraver

on the case and the house was raided.
Much to his surprise the first man he
nailed was John Schmitt. whose trial he
had attended in London.
''Schmitt." said Flynn, you should be
ashamed of yourself"
So did it happen that this counterfeiter
of the currency of the nations always
had bad luck when he came in contact
with Bill Flynn.

Inc present system VI ueClulHS LHC
worlds baseball championship will be
continued. ''-.
Garry Herrmann's plan to cut the
season short and play series of in
terleague games between all of the
major clubs will not be adopted.
This became certain yesterday aft
ernoon when Ban Johnson, president
of the American League and member
of the national commission, stated
he was opposed to the Cincinnati
mans ideas.
Big Bans word is just about law
in the baseball world now.
Hermann declared it would stimu-
late interest if each team played
against every other major league
club. In order to do this it would be
necessary to cut the regular season
to about 112 games, allowing plenty
of time for the staging of the inter-
league battles.
Garry was dissatisfied with the
present system. He declared it was
not fair to the other teams.
But johnson seems to have the
right end of this argument. He adj
mits that there are many evils con-
nected with the worlds series games,
but adds that no other plan would
arouse the present intense interest
that prevails when the champions of
each league meet
Eight of the sixteen major league
clubs participated in post-season ser
les, and there is no reason the plan
cannot be extended until all are fight
ing after the season closes. But al
ways one definite worlds champion
is fixed on, and-that is what we want.
There is a lot of money in winning
a worlds series, or even in being the
runner-up. And Herrmann's team
has never figured in either role. Per-
haps that may explain some of his
desire to change the present order.
