P. S. SHELDON. 1, Brooklyn, April IS, 1908. an Mr- IU Issued And There Is Beally a Question About Title No Issue Ever Made as to Caton Avenue.

A story that Caton avenue In Flatbush has been an Illegal street for forty years, published In a Manhattan newspaper yesterday, sent cold chills op and down the spines of many property owners on that thoroughfare. According to the story, the corporation counsol had rendered an opinion to the Park Department Btating that a fence or even a etone wall could be erected right up against the front of the houses on Caton avenue facing the Parade Ground, and that the property owners had no rights to the street. Assistant Corporation Counsel Colonel James D. Bell, who lives near the Parade Grounds, was as much surprised aa anybody else when be read the article. He stated this morning that nobody had ever raised the slightest question about Caton avenue, to his knowledge, aod that no part of Catoo avenue belonged to tho Parade Grounds or the Park Department.

However, he said, there was some question about Parade place, which runs Dorth from Caton avenue at the east end of the Parade Grounds for a distance of about 850 feet. Colonel Bell has Just prepared an opin-iou ou the subject of Parade placo, which be has given to Deputy Commissioner Konuedy of the Park Departmnt. He could not, be said, make public that opinion, but he did state some facts about Parade place which he discovered in his Investigations. These facts go to show that Parade place, and not Caton avenue, has no legal existence. The place was never formally opened by the city, and the owners of property have Informally fallen into the habit of using the space in front ot their bouses as a street.

This Is due in some degree to the fact that the easterly line of the Parade Grounds was never strictly determined. When the Park Department took over the property for the Parade Grounds, under the act ot 1866, it set aside forty acres, as the act required. This plot was definitely bounded on the north, west and south sides, but was not bounded on the east line, the location of which was stated In degrees and minutes. The old instrument reads as to the eastern boundary of the Parade Ground "and by a line running from Franklin avenue, which shall be the eastern boundary of a plot of forty acres." If these forty acres should be fenced in at present, the fence would run through the courtyards of the lots on Parade place, but Caton avenue would not be disturbed. Deputy Park Commissioner Kennedy says that the question about this property arose when in a meeting of a local improvement board it was suggested that Parade place should be Improved.

Mr. Kennedy then stated that it was bis be lief that the owners of abutting property had no rights in Parade place whatever and that the street belonged to the De partment of Parks. His statement created quite a sensation and it was chal lenged by some men present, who were interested in the proporty. He then set to work to determine Just how far the Parade Grounds did extend to the east. and he has not yet concluded his invest! gatlons.

He also stated that it would not be proper to give out the opinion of the corporation counsel at this time, but he said that the Investigation was so far advanced that the history of the whols affair can be given to the public in a short time. The commissioner is having a survey arranged, to determine once and for all the exact path of that elusive line which "shall be the easterly boundary of a plot of forty acres," given the other three sides. When this survey Is completed, and tho report of the engineers turned in, the park commissioner will issue a full statement. He says, however, that there Is nothing startling to be looked for at the present time, and that he la not' contemplating erecting any stone walls or high board fences in front of the porches of tha souses on Parade place In the near fu ture. He simply wants a vexed question settled, so that persons who happen to own land adjacent to the Park will not be claiming ownership of park property.

Even allowing that the writer of tho "dreadfully mistaken" story of yesterday merely got the name of the streets confused, there were many other features In the siory which are untrue. It was said that tho Illegal street had been placed on the city maps by engineers and commissioners who found It there and assumed that it was all that it should be. The street has not been placed on any city map by the authority of any commission, of engineers or of street openings, and it nas no right to be on any map, says Colonel Bell. 'It Is a peculiar thing about Caton avenue." said the Corporation Counsel, "that this is not the first time a mistake has been made In regard to Its name. The property was owned in 1845 by a Mrs.

Catln, and extended from Coney Island avenue, then called the Plank Road, about to Flatbush avenue. She laid out long streets running east and west through this property and then cut it, up into building lots. It was Intended to call one avenue hy her name, The Development and Improvement of America's National Game Was His life Work. Henry Chadwlck, the "Father of Bate-ball," died at his home, The Glen, 810 Halsey street, at 12:45 o'clock this after noon. He had been 111 wth pneumonia, and, as stated In Sunday's Eagle, he had an attack of heart failure on Saturday night, from which ho rallied temporarily, but which the physician in attendance said presaged his early demise.

Upon regaining consciousness on Saturday evening, after the attack of hear: failure, Mr. Chadwlck's first question was regarding the result of the game between the Xew Yorks and and upon being told that the Giants had won he expressed bis sorrow. He then relapsed Into unconsciousness again. His death was peaceful, and occurred In the presence of his family, his two daughters, Mrs. Thomas F.

Eldrldge of Sag Harbor, L. and Mrs. William C. Edwards of Brooklyn being in attendance, while Mrs. Chadwlck had just left the sick room after a long vigil.

The attending phyji-clan, Dr. Arnold W. Catlin, was In attendance. Mr. Chadwlck was 83 years of age at the time of his death, and was still actively engaged in newspaper work, being a member of the Eagle editorial staff.

Only a few days ego ho had an article In the Children's Page, under his nom da plume of "Uncle Harry." The Spalding Cuide of 1008 was edited by Mr. Chadwlck, and was probably the bent ever Issued In his long career In charge of that volume. He also wa3 a contributor to many other sporting papers. No arrangements have yet been mado for the funeral, but the Interment will be made In the plot at Greenwood Cemetery presentod to him by A. O.

Spa4ding soma years ago. Charles H. Ebbets, president or the Brooklyn Baseball Club, when Informed of the death of Mr. Chadwlck, immediately ordered the flag at Washington Park to be run up at. half mast.

Ho said: 'The news has come so suddenly that it impossible to say ns yet what further steps will be taken to honor the Grand Old Man of Baseball. Mr. Chadwick's career has been a power in baseball and I do not know of anyone who has done more to advance the game, by suggesting rules nl other details connected with the sport. Mr. Chadwlck stood out as one who had always been foremost In a demand for clean sport.

1 have personally known Mr. Chadwick since 1S63, when the Brooklyn Baseball Club was first started and considered him a very dear friend of mine and a strong friend of baseball. He was always opposed to rowdy baseball In all forms and did everything In his power to elevate the game and place It on the high plane which it occupies to-day. I think baseball loses a very dear old friend and one of Its most ardent supporters." The evolution of baseball from the crude game of rounders, or towo ball, as the case may be, was closely associated with the life of Henry Chadwlck. Being of English birth.

Mr. Chadwlck was a firm advocate of the theory that the American pastime was evolved from the game of rounders that he played at home when a boy, which probably acounts for his suggestion, in the early days, that a cricket bat be used Instead of the regulation Implement. In time, however, Mr. Chadwick perceived that baseball, whatever Its origin might have been, was destined to become a great American sport, and he proceeded to devote his energies toward Improving It, both in science and popularity. This was his life work, and while he was an important factor in the ad vancement of other amateur sports, aa well as a student of the arts and literature, his devotion earned for him the title of "Father of Baseball." by which he was known throughout the country and elsewhere beside.

Mr. Chadwick came from a well known English family, his father, James Chadwlck, having been prominent in Journalistic fields on the other side and In America later, while his brother, Sir Edwin Chadwlck. won fame as "England's S.initary Philosopher." Henry Chadwick vils born in Jessamine Cottage, St Thomas, Exeter, England, on October 6, Hit. and at the age of 13 came to this with his father, who settled In Brooklyn. The boy was fond of outdoor sports, and this, Ui the journalistic training gained from hlu father, led him to enter the field as a writer on sports and ftr.ic i'liatlmes.

Chadwlck never professed to be the founder of the game, nor did he lay any claim to the title of -Father of Baseball," but he did acknowledge that he succored it (n Its infancy, roared It In Its yoiuh, and kept It in the beaten path, jealously guarding it when assailed and bringing it to its present high standing, a scientific and lasting institution. He worked diligently and earnestly lor the development of the game and bat tled long and successfully for Its Integ rity, honesty and purity. All Its friends were his friends and its foes were his foes. He guarded It without aod wlth- n. It was In perfecting the rules ot base ball that Mr.

did his best work Soon after he succeeded in bringing recognition to the game from the press, he began to Interest himself In the rules governing the sport, and by suggestions and direct revision began to improve Its methods. When the first National Association of Baseball Playors was formed. In 1868. Mr. Chadwlck was invited to attend the meeting of the rules committee, and his advice was eagerly sought; so much so that many suggestions of his were Incorporated In the code.

Soon after he became a regular delegate to the association, was eloctod chairman of the rules committee and gave valuable service In formulating the code. He occupied a similar position In the National Association of Professional Baseball Players, organized In 1871, and upon the formation of tho National League, a few years lator. was a leading factor In formulating the rules. He was active in improving the code until In 1894 he was formally elected an honorary member of the league, and two years later added to the rules committee In an advisory way. This latter appointment, together with his election as an honorary member of the league, was in recognition of his long service In advancing the Interests of the sport, something no other newspaper man could boast of.

It carried with It a pension of $600 a year during the remainder of his natural life. During his association with the national game Mr. Chadwlck wrote for many newspapers and Issued many books. Five years ago he completed the fiftieth vear of his journallstlo career, he having begun as a contributor to the columns of the old Long Island Star. In 1854 he wrote crick et for the old Spirit of the Times and later for Porter's Sport and Wilkes' Sport.

In lSfi6 he added baseball to his specialties and contributed to the col umns of nearly every dally in New York. A year later he became baseball editor of the New York Clipper, remaining in that capacity until lsSo, when he acceptod the post of editorial writer on the Outing Magazine. During all that time; that Is from 1865 on, Mr. Chadwick was on the staff of the Brooklyn Dally Kagle, writing under the head of Sports and Pastimes. Prior to that he wrote for the Brooklyn City News and tho Brooklyn Union, beside spending time In Richmond.

during the exciting period of 1861, as correspondent of tho Xew York Tribune. Iu 1894 Mr. Chadwick severed his connection with the Eagle to devote his time to the Spalding Guide, and his special correspondence, which found Its way into the Sporting News, Sporting Life and many other periodicals and out-of-town papers. Beside his twonty-odd years as editor of the Official Baseball Ouide, Mr Chadwick wroto many books on sports and was an authority on all amateur pastimes. He was the author of Beadle's Dime Ball Player, 1860; De Witte's Baseball Umpire's Guide.

1875: the American Boy's Book of Sports, and a score of handbooks on baseball, cricket, lacrosse, billiards and chess He could play a fair game of billiards up to within a short time of his death, and in his later years was a great advocate of chess, playing often with the members of the Bensonhurst Chess Coterie, of which he was a former president, and with the Queens County Chess Club. Mr. Chadwick remained a resident of Brooklyn from the time of his arrival in this country until his death, a period of nearly seventy years. He was a member of the Society of Old Brooklynltes and was among the best known of that coterie of veterans. He also had a wide circle of friends and admirers throughout the country, among whom ha counted Presi dent Roosevelt.

Early In life Mr. Chadwick was an accomplished pianist, and also possessed a remarkable tenor voice, singing in a con cert for the benefit of the Brooklyn Or phan Asylum as far back as 1838. He was one of the young assistant librarians at the Brooklyn Institute In 1S40, later obtaining membership in that organization and passing much of his time there. Many years ago Mr. Chadwick married Miss Botts, daughter of the late Alexan der Botts.
