FIRE AND POLICE BOARD MEETING
Petition Filed for Pension for Mother of Late
 Officer Luddy
BUDGET ESTIMATE

The first departmental budget to be prepared and submitted for consideration for 1883 needs was presented yesterday at a meeting of the board of fire commission CTS. No action, however. was taken, a vote being passed that copies of Chief Henry H. Heitman's estimates be made for each mem- Der of the board. It was observed, however that the recommended ap- propriations call for an increase of $6,000 over the estimates of 1892 which were $510,949. More than half of the proposed increase would be considered as necessary for the departments pension fund. This years appropriatoin was $11,700, which proved insufficient. For 1893 $14,248 is desired. Only an increase of $1,O0o in the salary item is noted.
 No action will be taken until the board has had sufficient time to consider the various items. It Is more than likely that some pruning will be done.
 , At the meeting of the police commissioners Mrs Mary Luddy, mother of the late Patrolman Ed ward J. Luddy filed a petition for pension benefits. Her son was her main support, Mrs Luddy stated in her letter. Her request was re- ferred to the committee on men and discipline for consideration.
 A statement from Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean explained that Sergeant James Fitzgerald, who was injured in an automobile acci- dent on August 27th, was still patient in St Mary's hospital. Ser geant Luke Errico, who was also run down by an auto, has recovered and is now back on duty again. The question of paying the bills in both instances was referred to the committee on men and disci- pline with the statement that the drivers, if responsible, should pay them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Denver
Bill Walker, the Giants lefty who
has been one of New York's out
standing diamond disappointmentS
this year, turned in a Inasterful
mound job Friday as the Terrymen
tripped st. Louis, 6 to 2.
1t was two-hit game, but both
of the blows were homers, walloped
in the fifth inning by Jimmy Wilson
and Ray Blades. AT no other time,
save the third and fifth iningS, did
a Cardinal player pass first base.
In the third, Walker issued passes
to Wilson and Derringer.
With a string of five consecutive
triumphs, the Giants moved into
sixth place in the National League,
ahead OF the Cardinals.
Chuck Klein and Hal Lee each got
a home run to aid in 90 victory
for the Philadelphia Phillies over
the Chicago Cubs. 1t was Kleins
thirty second circuit blow of the
season. Ray Benge pitched for the
PhillieS and allowed the second
place Cubs nine scattered hits while
Root, May and Smith did mound
duty for the losers.
AS result of their victory, the
Phils were only five games back OF
the pace-Setting Pirates and one
game out of second place.
Red Lucas pitched and batted the
tail-end Cincinnati Reds to victory
over the Boston Braves, 80. An
error by Urbansk in the third in
ming put a Cincinnati man on base.
Lucas tripled and sent him home
and then scored himself on Gilberts
single. Lucas held the Braves to
eight hits while Tom Zachary and
Cunningham yielded nine.
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn were un-
scheduled.

has been batting near $40 and
fielding sensationally. Koenig
is on his way to join Chicago
