Horace B. Phillips, manager of the Columbus Base Ball Club, was Tuesday arraigned before Magistrate Lennon on the charge of obtaining board under false pretenses. Evidence was offered to the effect that in the Summer of 1882, while the defendant was acting as manager of the Philadelphia Base Ball Club, he incurred a bill amounting to ninety-one dollars at the Great Western Hotel, Market Street above Thirteenth. He represented to the proprietor that Mr. Reach, would settle for everything. Finally Phillips disappeared from the city. The defendant paid the money and the suit was withdrawn.
