CITY CHAMPIONSHIP IS
 WON BY THE RED MEN
Fraternal League Champs Annex City Championship, Defeating
 Pioneers in Easy Fashion.

The Red Men champions of the Fraternal league annexed more base ball honors yesterday at the Pioneer diamond when they took the third game of the inter-city series from the Pioneers in a one sided game, score IA to 3. The winners pounded the offerings of Hoffman the New Haven twirler to all corners of the lot gar nering five runs in the initial inning and forced the twirler from Savin Rock and way stations to take seat on the Pioneer diamond in the second inning after runs had been scored. Johnson who took up the pitching burden was also hit freely by the Indians. The winners ac- cumulated no less than fifteen bingles of varied assortment during the matinee.
 Dave Borg was the Harry Hooper of the afternoon, getting four safe swats including a swo sack soak in as many times to the plate. He also played 0 nifty game behind the bat and ran the bases in fast style. Blanchard who occupied the mound for the winners was in fine form and 1 held the one time fast Pioneer team safe at all times. N. Begley at sec ond base also played a stellar game | accepting seven chances.
 The game brought the close of the | baseball season locally. The Red Men have justly earned the right to th . championship of the city this season by their brilliant work. They have played a snappy game throughout the season and all hats are off to l them. The score:

CoTcy-Moran-Willa

For one reason at least this Coffey- Moran Embroglio of the coming week should be quite an affair in polite fistic circles.
 Coffey and Moran both understand that for the winner to be plucked and featured as a worthy rival for Willard he must finish in front by a decisive margin; that he must not only win, but must in over a route that shows sufficient class.
 An average heavyweight quarrel wherein the odor of stale cheese is highly prevalent will never stir up any excitement for Willard match in the future. Coffey' and Moran, know ing this, are likely to put their best wares on display.

Matty'S Speed,

While Mathewson never had much speed" begins a commentator who is entitled to another guess. An err lOneous impression has developed of iate concerning Matty's speed, when he was at his best. Those who figure him always bereft of the old smoke never faced him in 1904 and 1905.
 Tn those years," said Matty, re- gently, T was prouder of my fast ball than anything else. I'd always then rather pop one through than send up a curve. In fact, l pitched a good many games in those days without using a curve at all-nothing but speed and a change of pace"

 Yale is still suffering the fate that hefalls all Victors who grow over confident and careless in years of success. It so happened that her period of reconstruction came just at the time that Harvard was reaching her leading heights and attaining the finest system the Crimson ever knew.

 Tough Shedding for the N. l.. After several seasons of pain and 1 sorrow, the National league had. a big i revival last fall, when the Braves de- r1olished the Mackmen. But 1915 has left the old circuit in the same deep rut, suffering more anguish than ever.
 Exactly fifteen post mortcn battles were played this fall, with Red Sox, White Sox and Browns pitted against Phillies, Cubs and Cardinals. Of the fifteen games played the American league won twelve and the National league three. The National leagues post-season percentage is .200-which is nothing to arise and rave about.

HOTEL DRUG RAID
SHARES vENDER,
WIFE AND OPIUM
Another Dealer Sought,
but Similarity of Names
Betrays Cache.
PRISONER GRABS
FOR HIDDEN PISTOL
Rifle, with Silencer, and Re-
volver in Room-Eighty-
one Cans Seized.

In the arrest yesterday OF George
Bennett and his wife, following a raid
by the Narcotic Squad on the Bennett
apartment, in the Hotel King James,
1877 West Forty-fifth Street, Lieutenant
Sherb believes that he has exposed one
Of the few remaining illegal drug rings
in the city.
Since the Harrison law became effec-
tive, on April /, Sherb's squad has made
it almost impossible to purchase con-
traband drugs in the city. But the po-
lice knew there were few dealers stu
left. They have been continually on the
vendors trail, ad yesterday the arrest
of Bennett was the result The detec-
tives seized eighty-one cans of opium,
three complete smoking outfits and a
cooking set, three bottles OF heron and
one box of cocaine.
Only for the watchfulness of the de-
tectives Johns, Judge and Waterhouse
there might have been tragedy dur
ing the raid.
The drugs were laid out at the foot
of the bed in the room. Mrs. May Ben
nett. the wife, was sitting by the win
dow. As the detectives entered the
room they searched Bennett and found
a pair of brass knuckles. Bennett then
submitted to arrest, and turned toward
the bed. His attempt 20 reach the head
of the bed aroused Judges suspicion.
Bennett placed his hand on the PILLOW
lust as Judge walked toward him. with
a hound. the detective jerked Bennett
away from the bed and the pillow
dropped to the floor. Lying on the sheet
was found a loaded automatic revolver.
In corner stood a rife equipped with
a Maxim silencer.
The arrests came about through an
error the police made. For months
Lieutenant Sherb's men have been
watching a certain well known west
Side character. This man they knew
was selling dope" but they could not
get him in the act. A similarity OF
names resulted in the detectives tol-
lowing the man arrested yesterday
thinking they were getting the evil
dence against the West Side man.;
Bennett and his wife had been living
at the King George Hotel, and moved
ten DAYS ago to the King James. Inc
detectives finally found that Bennett
was selling the opium, and they cal led
him up on the telephone yesterday
morning. ..
This is one of the boys" Bennett
was told. 1--WE want some stuff"

SEES RUSE In PLEA
TO END HER SUIT
Lawyer Refused to Discontinue
$4,000 Action Unless He
Got $1,000 Fee.

Miss Corinnc Louise Bannister, who
sued George G. Murray, officer in sew
eral chemical companies, for $4,000
for breach of contract, wants TO dis
continue her action in the Supreme
Court, but Randolph NJ. Newman, her
lawyer, objects. Newman told Justice
Philbn he was sure that there had been
a financial settlement between his client
and Murray, but he has not received his
fee, which he thinks ought to be 81, 900.
He has refused an offer of $500. He
has refused also to return TO Miss Ban
mister certain letters, kilograms, postal
cards and photographs which were to
figure in her suit against Murray.
Miss Bannister applied to Justice
Philbin for an order substituting Gold
burg e. Bush as her attorneys in place
of Newman. Justice Philbin yesterday
refused to issue such an order until
afiidavits have been submitted showing
the value of Newman's services.
Miss Bannister's suit was based on
an allegation that in 1910 Murray pro-
posed that she become his housekeeper
life. These terms held until 1914, when
she brought suit, alleging that Murray
had broken the oral contract.
Miss Bannister said that she called
on Newman on June IS to discuss with
him the discontinuance Of her action.
She says he would not agree to this,
demanding an "exorbitant sum of
money" which she could not pay. She
said also that three days later Newman
told her that if she tried TO substitute
other attorneys for him he would
cause the publication of her letters and
photographs.
Newman said that Miss Bannster
called twice on Murray to draw up a
release of her claim against him. He is
not sure just how much the action is to
be settled for, but he said that his
client wanted at least $4,000, and he
believes that she consented to withdraw
her suit for about $4,000 or $1,000. His
agreement with her called for 33 l3
per cent of any recovery.
