Beck wa* signed by Manager Rnnslck Hnt- urdny anil he re|>orted for duty In Tues day's game. He madt two very costly er rors. but during the game and before It started it was seen that he waa laboring un der some mental strain. He hnd Mens to the effect thnt "sixteen people were bnrled under the home tilate,” and that Castro, the shortstop for Nashville, together with a band of bandits, waa after him with Jack knives and stlllettoes. Yesterday morning, while In bis room, still under the mental atraln. he thought a band of nihilists was after him. Ho mad# a Jump for the outer world and went through the window before Mr#. Berk eould stop him. He fortunately hit the wires and rose bush, or be might have been n de:nl man or badly Injured. Captain Norcum of the local team visited him after he hnd lieen captured, nnd ascer tained thnt Ileek had the Idea thnt Castro was after him. Norcum said: "Why, you know when I was In the-room with Beck this morning he looked out on Broad street ami said: ’There Is Castro nnd hls bunch out there after me:' but I told him thnt the only bunch he saw was a bunch of ba nanas across the street. The man Is cer tainly suffering from some mental trouble, nnd not from whisky, ns many have nb ready said. I have advised hls wife to semi him to a sanltnrlnui for n few dnys and see If It will not get hla mind straight." While Beck wns on hls rampage yester day imirnlng he lost—perhaps swallowed—a very tine diamond ring, worth probably $150. Mrs. Beck states that he hnd It mi during the morning, but they have not b#*en nble to locate It since bis leap nut of the window.

You write me that my letter was "the first you have had which has any semblance whatever to a charge ngnlnst the New Or leans dub for the u*e of rubber Italia nt New Orlean#;" yet we nre Informed that certain members of the Montgomery lm*c- ball club went to yonr office In Little i ltuck when tlmt team reached yonr city, • nnd while you were out of town.

As to Frank's claim against us for the $»X) penalty, we deny thnt we owe It either morally or under any rule i»f baseball. Our players state that they did not re fuse to g4» nu with the game, nnd thnt. aft er Jordan's arrest, the game was forfeited by the umpire. The removal of «wo man from the game, when Ida team mates are i tin the ground, ready ami able t<» finish the game, |* no ground for n forfeiture. Frank’s demand of this technical penalty of ns Is not right, ami everyone who un derstands the matter know* It. We think ami we believe that the giiod people of New Orleans and every fnlr-mlmfcd. clean sportsman will consider Frank’s demand comes with jwor grace. afti*r hls malicious action lit havtiig Jordan arrested and h»cke«l np. nnd after the manner In which we opened out gate* nnd welcomed him ami hls team la*t year when driven from home by yellow fever.
