All Tfie THE CHICAGOS FAST Bid Not Have to Piay Their Best to Take a Game From the Minookas. Enjoyable Features. GAUGHAFS PINE STICKING There was a great outpouring of peo pie at Minooka yesterday to witness the game between the team represent ing that town and the strong Chicago National league nine. Perhaps five thousand Deople in all crowded field and grand stand, a majority baking In a hot sun while the contest was in progress. The grounds at Minooka are scarcely adequate for an outpouring of the kind and the Scranton Railway company apparently had hard luck In handling such a crowd.

Just at the time that many carloads of people drew near the park the power went off and the cars were for a time stalled. After the game, which was shorter than expect ed, there were no cars in. waiting and there was a wait of thirty five minutes for them. In the meanwhile many had decided to walk home, and the com pany missed a thousand or so of fares. Of course the task of handling vast Sunday crowds going to Moosic lake and Nay Aug park, as well as enjoying trolley rides about the city was a big one and it was not surprising that there was dissatisfaction.

At the park the selling of grand stand tickets was suspended early In the afternoon. There was plenty of room in the field and the police protection seemed ample. At no time did the crowd intrude on the space allotted for the players. The game, however, was disappointing. The score would Indicate that it was a good contest, but to see it one would not gain that Impression.

More than any time this season, the home boys appeared outclassed. The lively youngsters, who are playing under the direction of Sellee, were unskillful enough to enable the patrons of the sport to see that they were not forced to do their best to win. This was shown in the eighth inning when Jack O'Neill was at the bat. He popped up a foul fly that Evers could have walked and taken but someone cried "Can't get It" and he allowed it to drop about fifteen feet in front of him, not trying for it. But in more ways than one it was shown just as soon as the Cubs obtained a little lead.

Nevertheless, there were any number of features that were a delight to the practiced baseball eye and surely it was worth the price of admission to, be permitted to view the speed of the team not presented, however, as it appears in the championship Evers moved over to third, Casey did not appear in the game at all and Chance was also out of it, McCarthy taking the place of the latter on third. Hoffman played up a nice game at second and McCarthy's work at first was faultless. He also batted well. Owing to the courtesy of the Chicago management, Jack O'Neill was permitted to catch for the locals. He did well and also solved the delivery of Pfeiffer for a single.

Only one man was able to steal a base on him. There were, a. number of features connected with the game, but one of the most notable was the batting of Gaughan. He fell xipon Pfeiffer for two singles and a double and the fourth time up he drove a line fly to center, which Slagle leaped Into the air and caught with one hand, the gloved one, the feat being the most brilliant of the afternoon. There were three sharp double plays, two by Minooka and one by Chicago.

In all thirteen hits were made off O'Neill but had he back of him the team that supported Pfeiffer the number would have been reduced to nine or ten. Dean made a pretty stop and throw and Johnson also did some rather neat fielding. Maloney showed his speed for Chicago when he stretched into a triple a hit that ordinarily would have been good for only two bases. Dr. Charles Gilbert was the umpire, and though the crowd hooted at times he really did his work well.

He favored the home team a little but that was expected of him. Chicago scored in the second in ring. Tinker drove one at Dean that was too hot to be handled and was sacrificed to second by Evers. Hoffman smashed out a single and Tinker cantered home. Minooka tied the score In the third.

With Dean gone Burns walked and Kllcoyne was hit with the ball. Logan forced Kilcoyne at second but Mike O'Neill drove out a hit and Burns ran home. Maloney In the sixth stretched his hit Into a triple and scored on a hit by McCarthy. Evers singled in the seventh and reached home on an error and a single by Kling. In the eighth singles by McCarthy and Schulte and another error produced the last run that the visitors made.

Minooka also scored in the eighth. Logan opened with a single and a passed ball permitted him to run to second. An out sent him to third from where he should have scored on J. ivein out. He remained on third however while the crowd showed its disapproval.

Gaughan came to the rescue with a corking double and Logan walked home. Gaughan was the only member of the home team to make an error. He threw badly to the pinto on one occasion and on another dropiu a throw to first that would have tihut oft a runner had it been heid. Score: CHICAGO. Pint A.B.

Eddie Ashen bach, the genial manager of the Scran ton team, returned to this city thi afternoon accompanied by Outfielder Graham, who jumped the Scranton club and cast his fortune with the Altoona of the Tri State league.

AsnenDach considers himself very fortunate that he escaped alive as he had an experience In Johnstown, Pa. which he will not soon forget. Ashen bach decided to make an attempt to have his star return, and paid a visit to Johnstown late Saturday afternoon, He had a talk with Graham, told him of the salary he was to receive from the outlaw club. He signed contract calling for 1400 a month and received a bonus of $200 for signing, Despite these inducements Graham agreed to accompany Ashenbach to Al bany. Some of the Altoona rooters who accompanied the team to Johnstown heard that Ashenbach was in town and made him a large offer to manage the Altoona club, but he declined with thanks.

"When they heard that Ashen bach was to take Graham with him they decided to kidnap the player If possible. Ashenbach heard of the plans laid to take Graham from him and during the night outwitted the Altoona people. A large crowd of Al toona baseball enthusiasts gathered at the depot waiting for Ashenbach and Graham. Instead of going to' the de. pot, Ashenbach and Graham walked out of Johnstown and enjoyed a tramp of ten miles over rough country roads when the tsruck Steward, Pa.

At that place they boarded a train and came to Albany, arriving here this afternoon. Ashenbach and Graham witnessed the game at Chadwick park today. Several of the Altoona players threatened Ashenbach while he was in Johnstown. One Individual grabbed hold of him while he was In company with Graham and attempted to carry him away so as to get Graham from him, but the Scranton manager fought back. During the melee his clothes were torn but he held on his man.

Herr made an Inauspicious start with the Scrantons, but even a pitches must not be judged by one game. The Tri State league may shortly be compelled to exert itself to hold its own players. Several business men of Scranton came forward with a proposition to raise the money needed to induce Graham to return to the team, but the offer was declined. Graham, contrary to reports, did not play with Altoona on Saturday at Johnstown. His name does not figure in the score.

Pearson, the twirler, the man who is reported to have Induced Graham to jump, is said to be a Hyde Park young man playing under an assumed name, He was hit very hard in Saturday's game. The Minooka management is entitled to much credit for bringing the Chi cagos here. It afforded Scrantonians a chance to see what a real fast base ball team looks like. There Is talk that trouble on the Scranton team is being fomented by at least two men, who were better off than on the team. Manager Ashenback might improve the nine by a few judi cious trades.

The fact is being pointed out in Wilkes Barre that Shortstop Donovan Is losing his batting eye. The truth probably is that the pitchers have dis covered his weakness and are making the most of it. Harry Merrill says that President Farrell has no authority to instruct his umpires not to permit base runners to score on balks. He declares this in struction virtually amounts to a change of rules and that Is beyond the power of even as arbitrary a president as Mr, Farrell. The Olyphant Rose Bud ball team, the champion second class team of the county, were defeated at Blakely Saturday by the high school team.

The Olyphant team was no match for the school players, who played all around their opponents. The features were the all around fielding of Thompson's men. They played well and batted the ball hard. Score, 10 13. The nigh school team are ready to play any second class team in the county on.

It belongs to France. Besides Its dimensions, which are considerable, it unites var ious qualities which further augments its value. When rough it weighed 410 carats. Its present weight is only 136 carats. Its cutting, which is of great excellence, required two years of work.

It was valued in 1791 at 12,000,000 francs. This diamond was purchas in the rough state by the grandfather of 'William Pitt for 312,000 francs, The Duke of Orleans, then Regent of France, acquired it In 1717 for the sum of 3,375,000 francs. According to St. Simon, who gives an interesting recital of the purchase of the stone, there is quite a different version from that ordinarily accepted; Through an extremely rare oppor tunity an employe In the diamond mines of the Grand Mogul was able to extract one of very large size. He found means of embarking and reach Ing Europe with his diamond.

He took it to England, where the King admired it, without, however, deciding to buy A model of glass was made In Eng land and the man was sent with the diamond and model to Law, who pro posed It to the Regent for the King. The price frightened the Regent, who refused to buy it une state of the finances was an obstacle on which the Regent Insisted, He feared Incurring censure for so large a purchase, while there was trouble in providing for the most press ng necessities and many people were left In suffering. I applauded this sentiment, but I said to him that It was not suitable to exercise the same economy for the greatest King of Europe as for a private Individual; that the honor of the crown should be considered and the opportunity of procuring a diamond which would eclipse all others In Europe should not be lost. I did not leave the Duke of Orleans until I had obtained the promise that the dia mond should be purchased. Law, before speaking to me, had represented to the possessor of the diamond that It would be Impossible to procure the sum that he had hoped for, and the loss that would be occasioned by breaking it up into pieces, so that the price had been reduced to 2,000,000 francs, including the scraps that would come from the cutting.

The bargain as concluded In this way. The In terest of 2,000,000 francs was paid until the whole amount could be raised, and the meantime 2,000,000 francs In precious stones was hypothecated." In the celebrated robbery at the Garde Meuble, in 1792, this stone was stolen and concealed behind a roof timber of a barn. As a result of a proclamation it was recovered by a municipal officer named Sergent The Regent was the most beautiful jewel In the coronation crown of King Louis XV. Later, It was held by Van derberghe, a banker, as a pledge for his advances. A historian of the times states that the wife of the banker took the opportunlty of wearing It while it was In her husband's possession.

The First Consul In his turn pledged the Regent to the Batavlan government to procure the funds which were lacking after the 18th Brumalre. Later he ornamented his Austerllts sword with the celebrated diamond, which, In the words of Vatout, might well have dis pensed with the ornament. The detective Is generally self seeking, even when he seeks for others. When a man is a crook ho is likely to follow his own bent.
