Worlds Series Back In 1885 Drew Only
 S2,OOO in 7 Games

Let us hark back for thdrty-four years, to ntd-October of 1885, and see what a worlds series of that period looks like. The competing clubs are the famous Chicago White Stockings, champions of the National League, and the almost equally mo- torious St. Louis Browns, pennant winners of the old American Asso- citation, then a major circuit. Cap Anson, then in his playing prime is the pilot of the White Stockings, and the late A. G. Spalding, the president and owner of the club. The Browns are the property of Chris von der Ahe, the quaint and eccentric Ger man saloonkeeper, crazy like a fox, who had given the Mound City one
 of the greatest ball clubs the game
 has ever seen. Here, then, were
 clubs owned and managed by men who have become classic figures, and made up of players whose game has survived to the present generation of fans Added to this, there was the
 natural rivalry between Chicago and St. Louis. On top of that the series
 of seven games was closely contested from first to last, and ended in a tie, each club winning three games, while the other was hoss and hoss.
 Under such circumstances, you would think that the box office would be mobbed by fans eager to see the games, and that the small and crude accommodations of those days would have been insufficient to hold more than a small part of the clamorous bugs. Not so, however
 The total receipts for the seven games aggregated less than S2,OOO.
 And yet the magnates of today think 1 there isn't enough in seven games. The first game was played in Chi 1 cago, and resulted in a 5-to-0 tie ] The second, in St. Louis, was for | fieited to Chicago. The Browns then 1 hit their stride and in the two sue 1 ceeding games at St. Louis won by 1 scores of 7-to-4 and 3-to-2. Owing 1 to the lack of interest in the cities l involved in the series, 1t was de- l cided to play the fifth game in Pitts 1 burgh. but the Smoky City fans man. 1 ifested but light interest in the pro- 1 ceedings, Chicago winning the argu-
 ment 9-to-2.
 | The clubs then moved on to Gin 1 cinnati, where the White Stockings were again the victors by a 9-to-E l l Chicago, and was captured by St | Louis, 13-to-4

RENT FIGHT LEADS
TO MOB RAMPAGE
Crowd Attacks Man Who
Struck Woman Because She
"Insulted" His Mother.

A crowd estimated at between 1000
and 5000 men, women and children
gathered in front of the tenement house
in 1874 Lexington avenue last night in
an effort to do violence to Solomon
Domowitz, "a years old. after the report
had spread that Domowitz had struck
Mrs. Pauline Heinerfield, owner Of a
small confectionery store in 1872 Lex
ington avenue.
Domowitz ran into his apartment on
the third floor Of the building and when
Patrolman Petrick and three detectives
reached the scene they found the hall
ways filled with men who were pounding
at Domowitz's door and trying to break
It down.
Petrick and the detectives fought
their way up the stairs and drove the
crowd out of the house and then ar
rested Domowitz on a charge of feloni-
Gus assault. They took him into the
street, where the crowd tried to seize
him. Failing to accomplish this they
began throwing stones and bricks and
everything else they could get their
hands on. Several of the b.tcks struck
Domowitz and others hit Detectives

managed to drive the crowd back with
their clubs and took Domowitz to the
police station. TIE crowd followed and
stood outside the station house for half
an hour or 30. but finally dispersed.
Domowitz's assault upon Mrs. Heiner-
field was the outgrowth of an argument
which his mother, Mrs. Esther Domo-
witz, s. years old. had had with the
woman earlier in the afternoon. Mrs.
Heinerheld is also a tenant In 1874, and
like most of the others refused to pay
a recent increase of IS in the rent. Mrs.
DomoNyitz, however paid, and when she
went into Mrs. Heinerheld's store yes
terday she was accused Of aiding the
profiteering landlords. A quarrel fol-
lowed and when Domowttz came home
last night his mother told him that Mrs.
Heinerfield had struck her and pushed
her against the wall and otherwise in
suited her.
Domowitz Immediately went into Mrs.
Heinerfield's store and asked her about

the police she was so insulting that he
gently hit her." He left her lying on
the floor of her store and then the re-
port spread and the crowd began to

TELLER IS ACCUSED
OF BANK SHORTAGE
Union Hill First National
Checking Up Accounts.

AS result of the discovery of
large shortage, fully covered by surety
bonds, in the accounts of the First Ma
ional Bank at Union Hill, N. J., II be-
came known yesterday that warrants
lad been issued for the arrest of Adolph
Klingenstein. a teller, and John Squier.
formerly employed in the bank. SQuier
was arraigned yesterday in Hoboken be-
fore Edward r. Stanton, United States
Commissioner. Klingenstein. who was
severely hurt recently in an automobile
accident, Is confined to his home, 1873
Third street, Union Hill.
According to reports. which could not
be verified last night. the. shortage
amounts to $4,000. Commissioner
Stanton said Squier told him that $780,
900 or $4,000 apparently was unac-
counted for. SQuier said he would pre-
pare schedule showing the disposition
Of the money. He was held in $4,000
bail for examination before the COM
missioner on Tuesday.
The warrants were obtained from
United States Commissioner Mooney in
Newark on Thursday at the request Of
representatives of a surety company.
Federal examiners went to work on the
books as soon as discrepancy was
suspected, and are still at it. Officers
Of the bank say the examination proves
that the institution Is in first rate con-
dition except for shortage whose
amount they do not know at present and
which will be made good by bonding
companies, said to be the National and
American surety companies.
The condition OF the accounts Is said
to have been discovered by one Of the
employees in the absence Of one of the
regular tellers.

Pay No Attention to
Fault Finders.
SENDS LETTER TO HYLAN

Commissioner Enright's answer to
charges published Monday by the Citi-
Gems Union are contained in a letter
to Mayor Hylan made public by the
Commissioner yesterday. In reply the
Mayor told Mr.. Enright to pay no at
tention to the citizens Union"
The gist Of the Unions attack was
that "the appalling number of highway
robberies burglaries and homicides' in
recent months proves that the Police
Department. "as now administered is
demoralized and inefficient"
Commissioner Enright counters with
figures intended to prove that crime has
decreased and that the proportion of
arrests is steadily growing
The letter of Commissioner Enright,
dated October 8, follows:
MY dear Mr.. Mayor:
THE Citizens Union Is at 1t again.
They now say the department is de-
moralized. that crime is rampant and
that men dismissed from this depart
ment have been improperly and ille-
gally reinstated. As usual, they are
careless about the truth.
During the year 1918 there was a
heavy decrease IN crime, including the
four most serious felonies, namely,
homicide, felonious assault, robbery and
burglary. as compared with 1917, the
last year OF the previous administration,
as Is shown by the following table:
