But an unfortunate wild throw by McOulre allowed the visitors to tally the tieing run, while another error by Daly In the. ninth permitted them to take a lead of one run.

Two men were quickly retired in the last half of the ninth, when Daly received a base on balls. Dahlen followed with a single to center and Daly sprinted to third, keeping right on when Hamilton fumbled. The latter sent the ball to Long, who. In turn, threw to the plate. As Bergen turned with the ball, Daly slid and was apparently half way across the plate when he was touched.

Emsllo called him out, however, and the riot foliowad. There were some rare' pitching' and fielding on both sides throughout the contest, Kennedy holding the visitors down to four hits, while only six were registered oft Willis. The Bostons were blanked up to the eighth and then they were presented with the tlelng run. Bergen was sent to first on balls and Willis struck out. Stahl hit snfoly, Bergen splinting to third.

He took too much room and was caught outby a foot on a splendid throw by McGulre. but Dwyer called him safe. Tenney hit to Dahlen and Bergen was run down between tho bases, but not before Stahl had scampered around to third. Tenney started for second. McGulre forcing Stahl back to third on a bluff to throw.

Then he turned and fired the ball about ten feet over Daly's head Into center field. Stahl coming In with the tieing run. The next moment Long sent up a foul which Casey captured with ease. McGulre. it may be said, was more depressed than any one else for his unlucky error.

In Brooklyn's half, McGulre was quickly retired and then Kennedy sent tho ball on a line to the right Held fence for three bases. Had Jones played the game properly, "Willis would probably have gone on a soaring expedition. But the latter swung hard at the first ball pitched and tho weak foul that resulted was easily caught by Tenney. Keeler. too.

was unequal to the occasion, his grounder being fielded by Collins. Hamilton opened the ninth for Boston with a base on balls, moving up on Collins' sacrlfjoe. Duffy hit safely and Hamilton went to third. Lowe's grounder was taken by Daly, who stepped on second, forcing Duffy. In tho attempt for a double play, however, Daly threw wild and Hamilton came in with what proved to be the winning run.

The work of the two first baseman was critically watched by the spectators. Tenney is acknowledged to be the star first baseman of the league, but he lost considerable of his luster by the wonderful exhibition given by Jennings. In the fifth Tenney made a one handed catch of a bad throw by Lowe, retiring McGulre, but JennlngB went him one better with a great one handed catch of a wide throw by Dahlen in the next Inning, which retired Tenney himself. But the best play of the day was that In the seventh, when, with first and second occupied and only one out. Jennings took Lowe's hot liner and threw Hamilton out at second, completing a brilliant double play.

He was cheered for several minutes. The game this afternoon promises to be a hot one. Score: BROOKLYN. lants, then he must have had many a bromo seltzer early this morning. Tom McDowell, the young Kentucklan horse owner and breeder, sent Batten to.

the post In the September stakes an odds on favorite. The field only comprised four In all, MacLeod of Dare, Kirkwood and Lackland forming the remainder. Batten was taken to the front at the start and he had such a commanding lead on the backstretch that the others became leg weary trying to overhaul him. In the stretch Batten was twelve lengths In the lead and although he was pulled to a walk at thj finish he was so far in front that It almost needed a Held glass to discern the rest of the hortvs. John McCafferty Is rapidly rounding into form.

He sent Cleora. a speedy filly by Florist Jennie to the pest in the first race and although she was conceding a lot of weight she won cleverly by a length. Spencer's riding on the favorite, Flower of Gold, come in for a lot of criticism. He carried Montanlc wide In the stretch, seriously Interfering with him Just ns Montanlc was making his run. Monadour scored her sixth straight victors In the mile selling.

Although' her winning margin at the finish was only half a length, one was being eased up all through the stretch. She was entered to be soil for tl.OOO, but no one bid on her. Lady Meddlesome, who finished second, ran a creditable race. The defeat of Gulden In the Golden Rod stakes was chiefly owing to Jockey Odom's poor judgment in placing the horse. He held a comfortable lead in the stretch but Odom, instead of going on allowed Colonel Roosevelt and Mlserl cordla to range alongside of him and when it cams to a drive the tw lightweights outsprlnted him to the finish.

Colonel Roosevelt was the winner, but had been ridden by a competent boy the decision would have been reversed. Complaints of fouling were lodged against O'Connor, who rode the winner, but they were dismissed. The six furlong dash, owing to withdrawals, was a two horse race. Isldor, with Taral In the saddle, being pitted against the 2 year old Waring. It was hardly a contest, as Isidor won In a gallop by three lengths.

Waring has proved a great disappointment to his owner, Frank Taylor. Waring shows a lot of speed In his trials and warming up gallops, but In his races runs far below his private form. Dissatisfaction over the In and out runnlrm is becoming general and the faultfinding over the Inaction of the stewards In seeking to probe into the many reversals is on the increase. Many horsemen are criticising the ofllclal handl capper for placing the top weight in the Great Eastern Handicap on High Order as well as Mesmerist. In High Order's two races, both of which he won very easily, he carried light weight, but he beat good fields on both occasions.

He has not appeared since, and Eastin and Larlbie, his think they have been unjustly treated in being asked to earn even weights with the recognized crack of the year. The cause of Tom Barrett's death was dyspepsia. He had been ailing for several years. In St. Clair, Kirkwood and Long Acre he possessed a trio of horses that have won a number of races In the past two years.

He also owned Jack Rose, which during the flays of Guttenberg. was one of the best horses to race over that track. Barrett was very popular in racing circles and he had a host of friends. At Fort Erie yesterday the winners were: Per cita, Jena. Looram, Marie Orendorf, Maratana II, Crystalline.

Only one favorite won at Hawthorne. Colonel Bartlett. Tho other winners were Tommy O'Brien, Alleviate, Llvadla, Flamora and Littln Singer. CALENDAR OF SPORTS. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 0.

Some remarkable work was accomplished yesterday by Will Smith, professional of tho Midlothia'n Golr Club of Chicago, in the playoff of the tie with Lawrence Auchteiionie, professional of the Glen View Golf Club, when ho not only won the title of open champion of the Western Golf Association, but also established a new professional record for the Glen View Golf Club links of 74, which is five strokes better than bogey and ten strokes better than Auchterlonie's score.

Smith, who competed in the open championship of the United States Golf Association last season, while the professional of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, and finished fifth, also gave an exhibition of hia skill at the St. Andrews links in a four ball match with Willie Anderson against Ftndlay S. Douglas, tho amateur champion, and Walter B. Smith, the runner up. Will Smith will be one of the half dozen crack Western professionals who will compete next week In the open championship at the Baltimore Country Club links.

Although Sir Thomas Does Not Bet, the Challenger Will Carry a Fortune in Stakes. Though Sir Thomas Lipton has never bet a shilling in his life and is opposed to gambling in all its forms, his boat, the Shamrock, will carry the heaviest stakes ever wagered on any yacht race In the history' of the great sport. Already thousands of dollars have been put up on the race between the Shamrock and Columbia. Betting men who make a business of making books say that hundreds of thousands will change hands on the forthcoming contest for America's cup. Boat loads of good English money will come to these shores in time for the race.

racing is not usually noticed by the plungers, but so much interest is felt in the cup race and there is such a patriotic desire on the part of both the English and Americana to back the boats from their respective countries that bets aggregating enormous sums will be made on the result. So Intense Is the interest among the sporting fraternity, which has heretofore confined its operations or a financial nature to the betting rings of the race tracks, that a betting company has been, organized and incorporated 'for the purpose of giving the plungers an opportunity to invest their surplus coin. The Racing Investment Company is the name of a company which has just opened offices on Broadway. There the man who has more money than he needs can easily get rid of it. The offices are well fitted and a good sized office force is ready to register bets.

T. R. Keator is president and H. L. Smyth secretary and treasurer of the company.

Yesterday, when the Eagle reporter made a survey of the premises of the investment corporation tbe rooms were well stocked with alluring circulars and pamphlets, which will be sent to all the sporting men in the country. Advertising literature bearing in big black letters the words: "Columbia vs. Shamrock," followed by the information that any one who wants to back either boat can get the best odds with the Investment company, will bo sent broadcast throughout the land. Neither the president nor the secretary of the company was in, but the general manager talked about the company and the prospects for heavy betting on the yacht race. He said that the company has just been organized and has hardly opened up, but already a considerable sum has been placed therewith.

"There will bo more betting on the race between the Columbia and the Shamrock than has ever been the case at any race ex cept the big horse races. Betting men, who have never before bet on such an uncertain thing as a sailing boat, have become interested and I know that the greater part of the heavy plungers aTe anxious to put money on the race. "The Columbia has the best of the betting so far, and judging by the number of bets already made the Americans are willing to back the boat with large sums even it tuey nave to give great odds. The odds are now 5 to 3 on the Columbia, but after awhile there will be no odd3 either way. The odds on the Columbia result from the anxiety of tho Americans to back the boat at any price.

The Englishmen don't want odds and in two or three weeks when the British money comes pouring in here the betting will naturally run about even for the men who send their money over here are just as enthusiastic believers in the prowess of the Shamrock as the Americans are in tho fleet Balling qualities of the Columbia. "Many Americans believe that, the Shamrock will win tho race and they are backing their Judgment with cold cash. We have just opened up, but have already registered bets aggregating on the Columbia to S4.000 on tho Shamrock and the greater part, or I might say all, of this Shamrock money was put up by Americans. "But the English money is coming. In a few days wo will receive the first consignment of 4,000, which will be followed by other money from other parties.

The Shamrock's owner of course does not countenance the betting, but his countrymen are backing his boat anyway. "Our company is incorporated under the laws of Dover. We do strictly a commission business and are not bookmakers though it may look that way. I think the betting will go away up into the hundreds of thousands and from my long ayd intimate knowledge of suh matters, I believe that many good sized fortunes will chango hands on the result of the great international cup race." Columbia Leaves for New Rochelle. The Columbia, which arrived at Newport yesterday afternoon after her trip, under tow of the St.

Michaels, from Bristol, left late last night for New Rochcile. Mr. Iselin, who was aboard the St. Michaels, gave orders to Captain Barr to prepare for the run up the Sound as soon as the cup defender picked up her moorings in Brenton's Cove, The yacht's new mainsail, which is to be bent later on, was carried on the tender from Bristol. The theory that the Columbia was held back in her races with the Defender seems to be substantiated by the latest reports, which claim that she was retarded from the second mark to the finish line in Monday's race and made two unnecessary tacks under Narragan sctt Pier shore.

It is also claimed that she could have beaten the '1)5 champion from sixteen to eighteen minutes If put to her full test. Instead of the ten minutes and seven seconds recorded. Tile mainsheet and head sheets have been left at times when it. was necessary to trim them and again the boat's pace has been retarded by trimming the sheets too flat, which acted as a drag and prevented her making headway. The mainsail used on the Columbia during Tuesday's races has been found to be too light for windward work.

It sits without a wrinkle and though hardly suitable for racing as yet. wlil be of more service when used a littie while. The new steel mast Is about one third constructed and the broken steel I clubt opsail pole is having a new plate in I serted where it buckled. The Columbia Is to enter th einternational races with her topsldes painted white and with this object in view two more coats of paint will be put on while she lies at New Rochelle. People who have sailed on the Columbia during her trial races that she is rully throe minutes faster over a thirty mile course with the steel mast stepped with telescoping topmast than she was with the wooden mainmast in place.

It 1b quite easy for this yacht, with her steel mainmast to work out from the lee of the Defender and beat the latter boat by a considerable margin on windward work, while the housing of the Columbia's topmast, which can be done in a few minutes. Is another point in her favor, should a blow come on. It would take fully half an hour to house, the ordinary topmast on a racing sloop. It is thought from her races with the Defender, which is 12 minutes faster on a thirty mile course than In '95. that the cup defender is fast enough to win over the Shamrock In three straight races next month.

Shelter Island Yacht Club's Annual Meeting. (Special to the Easle.) Shelter Island, L. September The Shelter Island Yacht Club has closed its season, although the club house will remain open lor a considerably longer period, owing to the fact that many of the members stay here until cold weather sets in. At the annual meeting of the organization held last night it was learned that the club has experienced its greatest success having had one nf the best yachting seasons upon record, principally owing to the advancement of the spun by the international races this year. The reports of the various olllcers and committees showed the organization to he In rapital condition and with all outstanding bills liquidated and a handsome balance In the bank.

It was decided to hold the annual dinner at the Montauk Club, Brooklyn, in May on a date that shall prove nrutually agreeable to the yachtsmen and tho Montauk Club. The following well known yachtsmen were chosen as officers lor the ensuing CONSUL ELLISON BRINGS SUIT. A Bridge Cycle Path Committeeman Thinks the Bridge May Be Overweighted. The race committee of the Associated Cycling Clubs of Long Island last night disqualified the winner of the race on the cycle paths on Labor Day, H. E.

Bleecker of thy Waverly Bicycle Club, by a unanimous vote. Bleecker's '0116056 was falsification of the entry blank, through which the haadicappers were deceived, giving him a long handicap of 5 minutes and 30 seconds, whereas had he made a true report of his past performances he would have been back nearer to the scratch men. Bleecker was present at last night's meeting and made a very poor impression, making a contradictory attempt at an explanation of the affair. There was no other course open for the committee, much as all objected to malting such a termination of do highly successful a race. The other prize winners were all moved up a place and were last night presented with the rewards of their skill and speed awheel.

The time prizes were allotted by the committee, the other prizes were shown to the winners and the first was allowed his choice, the second following him, each taking what pleased him most. The annual club team race of the Associated Cycling Clubs of Long Island will be held on the second Saturday in October, which this year falls on the 14th. The course will be announced later, the committee having four such under consideration at present. Chairman Barnett says that entry blanks tor the race, which 'is closed to the Associated Cycling Clubs of Long Island, will be Issued in a few days and will be sent to the different clubs of the association. To day's meeting of the bridge cycle path committee promises some very straight talk and mayhap some things hitherto sub rosa with the better Informed of those who had this work in charge may be told.

Said one member of the committee this morning: "We) are going to know why this path is not built and so far as it is within the power of those organizations that we on the committee represent I promise that we shall use every influence that the thousands of cyclists enrolled in our associations can wield against any further public office by any of the administration that refuses so Just and apparently so small a demand needed to preserve human life and limb." Then becoming more explicit thi6 wheelman said: "If Bridge Commissioner Shea wants the office of sheriff or any other public office here and retires from the bridge without giving us either the path or a reasonable explanation, he will have to overcome the wheeling vote to get it. We want something more sensible than Engineer Martin's Temarks that he doesn't think the path can be built. He has told me and has told the rest of this committee and other committees so many petty objections that are swept away and promptly replaced by others quite as nonsensical, that I begin to believe there is some big objection behind the plan that he is afraid to tell. "What can this be? There is but one answer that presents itself to us that the bridge cannot stand the weight. Which would mean that the bridge is already overweighted, if true.

If the bridge could stand the thousands of tons of the trolley cars it could also stand the couple of hundred or less that this path would, weigh. If, therefore, the bridge can not stand this increased weight, the bridge is at present overweighted. "Engineer Martin could not under any circumstances admit this even if the lives of a few wheelmen or so hung in the balance. Yet if this were true we would stop asking for the path. Or if any other reasonable objection were raised.

But we know positively that the path Is a comparatively simple engineering problem and would not cost a prohibitive sum. What's the answer?" The meeting will take place at the League of American Wheelmen headquarters in tile Vanderbilt Building this afternoon. Freeport, L. September 8 J.

Of the Hix races decided at SheepBhead Bay yesterday three could hardly have been termed contests, Tor the horses which captured these events were never forced to extend themselves, winning in hollow fashion. The card, a light one as regards the number of entries, was further reduced by wholesale scratching, and the fields were small in size. Incidents were not lacking, however, and four favorites were first past the post. King Barleycorn's race wan another of those reversals which have knocked the students of form on their beam ends, and as one of the prominent handicappers remarkvd at the close of the day's racing: "Form is at a discount at Sheepshead, and the only mode of procedure to follow is to play a horse who runs a bad race the next time out." In King Barleycorn's case it has always been claimed that the horse is a notorious sulker. Still, that does not explain why, after being beaten off many lengths on his last appearance, King Barleycorn should be abk to go to the front as he did yesterday and exhibiting the speed of a Hamburg, win, pulled up by ten lengths.

J. P. Robinson is the ostensible owner of King Barleycorn. Bob Davis is also said to be interested in the horse's running qualities. On Wednesday Blueaway, from the same stable, was played heavily, Davis alone, it is said, having over $10,000 on him.

The horse was left at the post. Yesterday, knowing that May Hempstead was not in condition to race, a number of the wise people bet on King Barleycorn for a good thing, despite the bad showing of the horse on his previous race and that Keenan was piloting him. When tbe horses paraded past the stand previous to the race King Barleycorn was not among them, and he did not appear Tor some minutes. When he did he galloped to the post a perfect picture of a race horse. He shot into the lead and set such a pace that he made the rest of the field look like the commonest kind of selling platers.

The further ho went the greater the distance he put between him and those behind, and at tho finish he pulled up as fresh as though out for an exercise gallop. The Jockey Club foTbids the use of drugs to stimulate horses, but if King Barleycorn hasn't the same kind of feeling today that follows the excessive, use of stimu Namo. Grnys. H'cap. Not.

Louis. Whether it was tfoe nerve of the man or the law abiding instincts of the Brooklyn public that saved Umpire Emslie from serious injury in yesterday's demonstration at Washington Park, Is not known, but It was acknowledged that had the same provocation been given in any other city, the official would not have escaped unscathed as he did. The people became infuriated at a decision that prevented Brooklyn from tieing the score at the finish of one of the most exciting games on record, and were turned in a second from a delighted, cheering audienco into a howling mob bent on taking revenge for the loss of the game. For a minute or two the thousand or more spectators who had jumped into the field appeared satisfied with merely hooting the official and throwing at him bits of paper which had been torn up in their anger. They followed Emslie over to the Brooklyn players' lench, where he had gone to hand Manager Hanlon one of the balls that had been used during the contest.

Although he knew that any moment he might be attacked from any quarter, the plucky official turned and walked toward the grand stand, while at his heels followed the crowd, hooting but irresolute. What they lacked was a leader, but one Boon came in an undersized youth, who Jumped in front of the umpire and tried to hit him. Quick as a flash Emslie had the fellow by the collar, and with a swift uppercut, caught the attacking party flush on the mouth, sending him reeling ten feet. The youtSi picked un a stone with murderous intent, but the crowd had now closed in on the official and he was on the outside. By this time a couple of policemen, Beveral players of both teams and President Ebbets lad worked themselves between the crowd and Emslie, who had: resumed his march to the stand.

9ut the mob had now become more demonstrative than ever and all sorts of missiles were thrown at the object ot their wrath. He reached the gate leading into President Ebbets' box in safety, but just as ho stepped to the grand stand, another man tried to push Ebbets aside in order to pull Emslie back. But Dahlen, Daly and the two policemen were too quick and the fellow was thrown heavily to the ground, while the rest of the mob was held back by the swinging clubs of the policemen. Tenney of the Bostons, who appeared, bat in hand, to attack the crowd, was thrown aside by Ebbets, who told the player that his services were not needed. Had he been allowed to wield the club, the crowd might have been even more demonstrative than it was.

Those who remained on the grand stand made no demonstration against Emslie, admiring him apparently for his fearlessness. He reacted the office in safety, where he brushed off the dirt that had been thrown at liim and then started for the street against the advico of the Brooklyn Club officials. As he passed through the gate a thousand looting voices greeted him, but he did not hesitate. Up Third street he walked, not noticing the crowd that, followed at his heels. Jeering and hooting him.

But for the fore eight of President Ebbets, Emslie would have still met with bodily harm, the club official end a number of policemen following the man and keeping the crowd in check. When the steps to the elevated station were reached, a rueh was made by a number of men who believed they could wreak vengeance on the umpire on board the train unmolested by the police. But again Ebbets was too quick for them. Hustling Emslie up the stairs, he stationed himself at the foot and with the assistance of the police, held the crowd back until a train had come along and taken the umpire away. As councilman, Ebbets was in full control and the police assisted him to a man.

The crowd clamored to be allowed to get to the station, but were met with the characteristic reply from Ebbets: "You can't get up if I have to stop the road." After Emslie had disappeared the crowd cooled 4own a bit and then became demonstrative against the Brooklyn Club president. "What do you want to let yourself set robbed for and then protect the roblierV" asked somebody. "Because we are In duty bound to protect the umpire under any circumstances." was the reply. "Just cool down, boys, and look at It In the proper light and you'll find we are right. OC course, we got the worst of the decision and may toe said to have been robbed of the game, but you're a thousand against one and that Isn't fair.

Beside, you'd be sorry afterward." Then the crowd dispersed, breathing vengeance BEalnst Emslie, however, when he appears this afternoon. No arrests were made. "It was the most surprising demonstration Brooklyn has seen in its seventeen years of base ball," said Ebbets to an Eagle reporter afterward. "Of course the people had provocaion, for the decision was a poor one, but we are compelled to protect the umpire under the rules and did so. We have confidence in Emslie and believe him to be honest, so much so that we will not protest him, but he made a mistake to day and the people have taught him a lesson.

1 cannot blame the public for its action and will not Sennit It to be blamed if I can help it, but there no use In injuring the umpire for a mistake. I have nothing but commendation for the people, who acted with wonderful restraint under the circumstances and responded nobly to my request to get back when Emslie was hard pressed. 1 had no Idea that they would take a defeat so much to heart. The attack is to be deplored, but It shows that they itre with the team and want the pennant to come here. We could not protest the game, becaupe it is a question of the umpire's Judgment.

and not a question of rules." Manager Hanlon looked at the matter a base ball point of view. "It was a clean steal and Is not the first of the kind that Emslie has been guilty of," he said. "I have warned him oevoral times against Just such decisions at critical points, but he makes them. Daly was over the plate when he was touched and should have been declared safe. It wasn't the only bad decision that was made during the game, for ISergen was clearly out at third in the eighth when wyer said he was safe.

That cost us a run. Then again Tenney was three feet off the bag when Keeler was called out at first on that double play In the third, ttsd the same tiling occurred in any other city I doubt if EniPilc would have got off so lucky. Mind, I don't approve of any assault on umpires, but an umpire 1 sometimes to blame for what he gets. Emsli, was rtainly at fault this time. He tried to siinnre himself by saying that Inly bad not touched the plato.

hut there he is wrong, because Tom was lying on the slab when be. was touched." Daly's' nttltudc in the mIee was characteristic of the player. When Emslie called him out. Tom Jumped rtp and dashed at the ofllclal with the apparent Intention of annihilating him. But when the crowd came to the attack Daly was in the thick of it; forcing the ppoplp back and warding off many of the blows directed at the ofllclal.

This change of base on the part of the player served to a considerable extent to reduce the anger of the mob. Had Paly been hotheaded and pursued the umpire with complaints, thre might have been a more serious outcome. The event leading up to the trouble was a splrit cd attempt of the Brooklyns to rally after they hncrl turned an almost certain victory into defeat by couple of errors. It had been a brilliant game tom all points of view up to tho eighth, Brooklyn BattcrleB Hahn and Poltz; Powell and Criger. Umpires Messrs.

(Special to tbe Eagle.) Monterey, September There was a sensational upset here yesterday in tho firsi of the Pacific coast lawn tennis championships in the doubles. Holcombe Ward and Dwight F. Davis, the national champions, were beaten in easy fashion by Whitman and Wright. The match was very rast and it was not due to any ragged play that the champions were defeated, but to the almost perfect tennis their opponents. Both teams smashed at every opportunity.

Whitman making many brilliant kills. Ho also volleyed well, and his long low drives were very effective. Many of the games ran to deuce, but the steady play of Whitman and Wright pullod them out from the dangrr point. The excellent lobbing of Ward was a feature of the match. The score was 03, 61, 62.

Before meeting Ward and Davis. Whitman and Wright played two local cracks. Root and Collier. In the fourth game of the match Root fell in trying for a difficult ball, and strained his ankle so badly that his team was obliged to default. The Whitney brothers, the California experts, won an easy victory in their match.

They will probably meet Whitman and Wright in tht finals this afternoon, the winners to play the Har.lyx in the challenge round for tbe championship on Sutur day.

Serious trouble has broken out in the South Side Base Ball League as a result of the club's using players who it Is alleged are professionals. At a meeting of the board of directors last night the Itockvllle Center Club entered a protest against Lelper, McKenna and Chapman of the Hempsteads and Hempstead in return made a protest against Pitcher Brunnermer of the Center team. A letter showing where he had made contracts for salary was submitted with the protest. The Baldwins Ciub which of late has been composed of professional players had protests entered against It by Freeport and Amlty ville. Both clubs were awarded the games claimed.

As the league record now stands Hempstead is one game ahead of Rockville Center. The latter has two games yet to play one with Baldwins, which Is almost a sure victory, and one with Hempstead. It will be observed that should the Center team defeat Baldwins it will tie with Hempstead for the final match, and the Hempsteads are likely to win, as they have defeated the Center team in all but one game, and that was due to a bad spilt In the club. Action on the protests will not be taken until next Thursday evening. Hits From the Diamond.
