Nos. 11 to 25 Ferry Street New York, Jan 30.—No decision will be given for probably two weeks in the case of Hal Chase, Cincinnati first baseman, charged by officials of that club with attempting to influence the results of games last season, it was announced tonight by President John A. Heydler at_the close of a five- hour trial at National League head- quarters. Declaring that voluminous notes of evidence would not be in proper form before Monday, Mr Heydler said: “I have taken the case under ad- visement and intend to give it the most thorough and careful consider: tion. I cannot say how long it will take to go over this mass of evidence, but I will announce my finding as carly as possible.” The charges made against Chase lare brought under Section 40 of the constitution of the National Leasue which reads as follow “Any person who shall be proven| guilty of offering, agreeing, “conspir-| ing or attempting to cause any game of ball to result otherwise than on its merits under the playing shall be forever disqualified by the president of the jonal Leag om acti or in as umpire, manager any other capacity game o ball participated in by a league club Chase was present and two law: player or in acted as _counsel for him.

Oh, ves, without doubt we all have had a rather thrifty time of it. The informative part of the experience, to an observer, lies in the manifest fact that we didn't like it, and do not like it. That is, the majority of us don't. I was “hived up” last week with various physical derangements and bad to pretermit temporarily, my win- ter amusement of getting up cordwood. In the interval between pills, I got to as if it were a mustard plaster with forty-five horse drawing power. If we're farmers we cuss the grocers and the fecd dealers and the tailors. If we're city folks we cuss the farmers. I isn't that this does any good. But it shows the state of our feclings. We do not expect| to effect anything by it, but it sort o’ relieves our alleged minds to snort and sneer and kick and denounce and rampage and use swear words if we're f one sex, or slam doors if we're of other. that a zood grainedr deal of this has been d rected, not at the theory of economy, but atathe occasionally somewhat t rannical manner in which it has been enforced. 0 one was ever vet reformed by cookies.
