The man ran away and another man who was in the saloon induced him to go into a hack to take him home. They drove around for some time till the man hit him on the nose and attempted to rob him. He jumped out of the hack where there were some trees and walked along. He thought the man was following him, and when he came to a policeman he asked his protection.

The wine was given to a messenger boy to be delivered, and accompanied by the policeman he started for the headquarters of the club. In front of the building was Ricardo waiting for the boy.

His alleged scheme was to tele- phone to some grocer, and after representing that he was connected with the Press Club or some other well-known or- ganization, order a case of champagne. He would remain outside of the club building until the grocer or his clerk showed up with the wine, and after signing for it inform his victim that he would settle the bill the following day.

Policeman Cassius Blackman and Frank H. Rood, a Saloon-Keeper, Arrested on a Charge of Grand Larceny. He was then taken to the Valencia Hotel, 718 Valencia street, by the police- man and Rood and the policeman took him to a bedroom and put him to bed. Sherily after the policeman woke him up and took him back to Rood's saloon, where he was compelled to take $75 and was told to get away from there as quickly as possible. He later went to the Seventeenth-street station and the case. August Schwartz, clerk in the Valencia Hotel, and Special Officer D. Murphy cor- roborate the old man's story in regard to Blackman and Rood being with him and being warned by Blackman to keep their mouths shut. Both Blackman and Rood deny their guilt, Blackman asserting that it is a case of mistaken identity and Rood erting that the old man only gave him $75 and he has witnesses to prove it. Rood has only been in the saloon business for a month, having previously been em- ployed as speclal officer by the Milkmen's Association. Blackman has been on the force since October 6, 1891. January this vear he was fined $50 by the Police Com- missioners for reporting on duty while Ander the influence of liquor. The two men were arrested by Captains Seymour and Gillen on a complaint sworn to yes- terday by Cronin before Judge Mogan. reported | | { | | | aracteristic | Fur capes, cloaks, | | in the muad As a rule some very warm things in | | the racing line are unloaded in umbrelia time at the tracks, and between splash the crowd at Ingleside yesterday indulged | in some fancy gambling.

CHAMPIONSHIP GOES TO BELMONT'S TEAM, The Lowell High School Succumbs | After a Hard Game Fought Out | in the Mud and Rain. Belmont 6, Lowell 0. In mud and diminutive lakes the Bel- mont eleven wrested a victory from the Lowells vesterday and thereby decided the championship of the Amateur Aca- demic League for the football season of 189, All the enthusiasm that the stu- dents of ecither institution could get to- gether was bottled up, carried to Recre- ation Park and let loose from time to time in yells and whoops and screechings unholy The mud of the gridiron was, of a soft, | oozing, mucilaginous consistency, which | soon destroyed all differences of facial | characteristics and left the players brown- | plastered individuals. Tearing down tne | field the Belmonters by a skate or two | and by a stiff sidestroke | through the lakes carried the ball to| Lowell's one-yard line. But this was as | far as Belmont went. A fumble at the | most _critical moment gave the pigskin | to the San Franciscans and it was kicked | out of danger. Neither side scored in the | first half. ! In the second half the fierce playing be- | gan. Both teams wanted victory from the | soles of their wet feet to the crowns of | their mud-caked heads, and heavy marsh | and sea fighting was’ the order of the battle. Back and forth the rushers ragel until Belmont had the ball on the five- card line of Lowell. Again were they eld and the High School boys got the ball. It was passed to Hooper for a punt out of danger. Hooper's drive was low, and the Belmont rushers broke through, blocking the kick. A mass of human mud fell on the ball and Belmont had the only touchdown of the day. Story kicked a goal and the score read 6—, at which it Stood until the close of the game.
