wmmi THE , PITTSBURG DISPATCH, 'SATUKDAl PEBRHAIlTr16,- 4 1889. MAKING IT LIVELY, Too Many Clubs Want to Join the Amateur League. AN OFFICIAL GIVES ADYICE. Chicago Sporting Men's Opinion About the Eecent Fight. DESPERATE FIGHT AT ST. LOUIS. AFTER. THE BATTLE. An Eastern Man Pays 00,000 For a Dozen Trotters. GENEfiAL SPOETIKG NEWS OF THE DAT .There is probably more interest being centered in the formation of the Allegheny County Baseball League than the majority of baseball enthusiasts hare any idea. There are four clubs needed to make the league complete and there is a plethora of applicants. Bo enthusiastic are the appli cants about being organized that there is considerable talk about organizing another league among the rejected duns. There is also a desire to make the county league oqe of 12 clubs instead of B so that the applicants for membership will not be disappointed. Of course all this shows how popular the national Came is in and about Pittsburg, although it may also show that a spirit of rivalry exists that may develop into unpleasant dimensions. An official of the county league made the fol lowing statement regarding the matter last evening. Be said: "Our important meeting will he held Mon day night and by all means we desire that the entire matter be placed clearly before the thousands ot people interested. The action of the Allegheny County League m limiting the number of clnbs to eight, to compose the above organization for the season '89 has been severely criticised on all sides and pres sure has been brought to bear from various points to have the officials of the league call another meeting before February IS and have the league re-consider its decision and fix the number of clubs at 10 or 12. instead of eight. FOE A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. "The preliminary meeting on February 5 was called for the specific purpose of fix ing the number of clubs to com pose the league, as it was deemed to be a very important question. The matter was thor oughly discussed, and after due deliberation eight clubs was decided on without one dis senting voice. The action of the league in this matter is absolute and final and cannot be re voked, and in view of the fact tnat this organi zation is only following in the footsteps of both the National League and American Associa tion infixing tLeir membership at the same number of both these famous organizations, it seems to me that everything points that their action was a wie one. The arranging of a schedule is always a bng bear, and an j one who has wrestled with that knotty problem and endeavored to arrange a series of games between ten clubs, will auDre- ciate the action of the connty league in re stricting their membership to eight clubs. It is the desire of the league to have a series of four games be'ween every club, and if the membership wee increased to ten it would be impossible to do this, for the length of the sea. son will not permit more than 2S games, as the games will only be scneduled on Saturdays. Then again the Allegheny County League is uubH jiuuur uiuuizauua uy any means, ana UV..JU1UV1 V.tU4AblWU UJ auj lUCAUSi AUU does not intend to open wide its arms to every club who may offer themsch es as members. It has a certain amount of dignity to uphold, and any club that is admitted at the meeting on Monday evening will have to present its stand ing, prospects, eta, in a manner that will leave no donbt in the minds of all those present that it will make a creditableraember of the league. "In regard to the formation of another county league by disappointed applicants, I would say let them form a similar organization it thev can, it is so easy to do as they say, there is room enough for two such organizations in this big city. A threat of this kind will not deter an association of such good standing as the county league from following out a course of action which they have determined on. GOOD TEMPEB SESIBED. "However, we sincerely hope that the election will take place without treading on anybody's toes, and if certain clubs do get left we hope that they will accept the results with that amount of good grace expected from all gen tlemen interested in baseball principally for the love of it. It is certain that all clubs ap plying for membership In the county league cannot be admitted, and depend upon it those giving the best security and prospects will be the ones admitted. Favoritism or anything like it will have nothing to do with the selec tions made. Business only will prompt the action of those who have the power to act." Regarding the election of President the speaker was not inclined to say much. There is a strong desire to have Sir. McCarthy re main in office for another year. He may do so but he is wishfnl to resign. The name of a prominent newspaper man and that of a voung business man have been mentioned for the piace, ana ii jir. jcv;artny really declines to be re-elected one of the gentlemen above referred to will be choen. Altogether it is safe to say that the meeting will arrive at a harmonious conclusion. The latest about the four clnbs likely to be elected to make the league complete is to the effect that Emsn orth. Sewickley and the Etna Stars are sure. The fourth choice rests be tween the W. J Kuehnes and the Uaklands. There has Jgen some doubt about the lattei club securing grounds and this has given rise to a notion that the club will not apply for membership. Mr. Rineharr, secretary of the club, however.called at this office and made the following business like statement: "We can get grounds," he said, "if we are admitted to the league. We will certainly get as good grounds as any club applying that has not grounds already. We will aUo have a good team. We alrcadv have Neues and Bevel, of also expect to have Newell, the local pitcher of some rtpute. W have grounds on which we can practice; the best grounds in the city, bnt we can get no security from the Schenley estate that will insure us to put up a fence. If we inclose the giounds the estate can take all our buildings at the end of the year. We can not get even a three year lease. We can get the use of other grounds, however, if we are admitted to the league." IT WASN'T A DRAW. What the Chicago Authorities Think of the Mjer-ltleAnllffe Affair. Chicago, February 15. 'That fight was the stlffest thing I ever saw," Parson Davies said to-night. "I wouldn't walk across the street to look at such a set-to. They did nothing but dance and prance up to each other and away. There was too much money 6n it; that was the trouble. If it bad beenin a back room for a purse there wouldn't be any draw." "I couldn't help calling it a draw," Mike Mc Donald said. "I had been up all night. I hadn't had anything to eat or drink. I was dead tired out, and 1 bad a real estate trans action in Chicago to attend to. I thought some ot taking them both into town ana having them play it out in my office, but they wouldn't come, uvervuoay was satisnea at tne a raw, except the follows who paid nothing to get in and bad no other place to go. It was a peculiar affair." ' John Kline, at whose dace in Belolt He-' Auliffe trained, denounced the affair as about the poorest he had ever seen, "For two good men," he said, "to run away from each other for four hours does not answer my idea of a prize fight. I would'nt go to another such an exhibition for 51.000. Mr. Black, Harry Gilmore's backer, came all the way from St. Paul to see the fight- He de clared yesterday that he had seen better fights at a bean-bag game. He is going back to St. Paul. "I blame Myer."Mr. Blick said. "He led only four times during the whole fight. Just think of a man getting $3,100 for that!" These were pretty near the sentiments of the town. The Board of Trade men, who paid the most ot the gate money that came from Chi cago ibo professionals getting in through their acquaintance with "the man at the door" were sad. They shook their beads mourn fully. There has not been so much sorrow on the floor since Mr. Hutchinson put on the gloves with the wheat market. "I won't po to an v morn flp-hts" nnn of the traders said. "They have got my last twenty. As soon as I recover from the attack of pneu monia that I got in the cold hall I'm going to join the church." Madden and McAuliffe stayed in the Tremont nouse tin noon, wnen tney leitiorixew iorK. The champion did not show the effects of the fearful fracas. The scratch on his lip looked as though it might have been made by the slip of a razor. THE CHICAGO STABLE. Interesting News About Galen, Terra Cotta nnd Other Good One. Referring to some of the prominent race horses at Nashville a correspondent of the Horseman says: Although the track is in fine working condi tion, none of the trainers have given their horses any fast work as yet, the exercise being confined to trotting and slow canters, and many of the youngsters have not been shod. Trainer Johnson, of the Chicago stable, is here with a big string, his family numbering now 26 in all. Of these I think Galen looks the best; he has a summer coat and appears almost fit to do a little sprinting now. I do not think he is any the worse of the touching he got for the splints, and he will be a hard hor&e to beat if he goes to the post in condition. Terra Cotta has picked np w onderf ully, and is laying on flesh every dav. "I want him to have inst one hundred pounds more on him when he starts," said Mr. Johnson to me, when I noticed how stout he looked. "He has run all his races when big." He has been clipped, which gives him a rather strange ap pearance. Speaking of Terra Cotta, I met Colonel J. W. Guest, the former owner of the horse, yesterday, and in the course or conver sation asked him what he thought of the chest nut horse. "Well," said he. "I have nine now In training, and I will give them all for Terra uoita, even trade. I tnink that much of him." Of course, I won't undertake to say how much of this "goes." for I think Mr. Guest rates his colt Heron pretty highly, but anyhow I know he considers Mr. Hankin's horse one of the best in the country. Little Minch, of the same stable, looks as well as I ever saw him, whether remaining at the post or breaking a record;and Egmont as hearty as a prize fighter out of work. There are some well-bred looking 2-year-olds in the string, and if looks and blood will do anything they ought to be heard from. knew be could not best McAuliffe five minutes after they entered !the ring, and then Myer proceeded to save hie backers;' which he did iu great shape. He wanted to make a safe repu tation with mone v men, and he has done so, but he can't whip McAu)iiIe all the same." MAT GET SOME CASH. The Assignees of the Farmers and mechan ics' Bunk Win Meet With a Committee of the Drposltori To-Day. The assignees of the defunct Farmers and Mechanics' Bank will hold a meeting this morning in conjunction with a committee of the depositors, for the purpose ot discuss ing the advisability of paying the depositors a part of their money. There is about $50,000 cash in the bank, and inasmuch as Mr. G. H. Meyer, Presi dent of the German American Insurance Company, yesterday bought the bank prop erty for nearly 535,000, the assignees have now about$90,000 on hand. Mr. J. H. Sorg, President of the bank, in a conversation with a Dispatch reporter last night, said: I am anxious to show the depositors that we are more than willing to help them to get their money, and in spite of the talk which has been indulged in against cs we really had not the Dower nor the means to do anything before now. But since the bank building, which was an eiepnant on our nanas, nas neen disposed of, we have aboutenough ready cash to pay the people at least one-third of their deposits. However, our attorney advises us not to pay out anything yet, because be says that the pay ing in installments Incurs a great deal of extra and unnecessary outlay. But I dare say we shall be able to make an arrangement at the meeting to-morrow morning, which, I hope, will be satisfactory to all. To show the depositors that we are open and honest with them, I am going to ask Mr. H. C. Gearing and four other gentlemen of the de positors' committee, to be present. EUD0LF WAS LOVED.

Two Strong Men nt St. Louie Batter Each Olber Fiercely. rercciAt. txixgbax to the dispatch.i St. Louis, February 15. Jack Fitzsimmons and Bichard Brien f ouht 11 hard and bloody rounds. Marquis of Queensberry rules, last night in an old stable about a mile sonth of Corondelet, near the river bank. Brien and Fitzsimmons are from Illinois, and at one time were employes of the Vulcan, where they were looked upon as possessed of extraordinary strength. In the eleventh ronnd both men approached each other as if determined then to knock each other out. The fight began in earnest. Blow after blow was rained, and it looked for a mo ment as though Brien would do up his antagon ist. Fitzsimmons seemed to realize this, and picking up enongh courage ran at Brien and with a horrible right hander under the chin, downed him and won the battle. Bnenlay motionless and could not respond to the call of time, and in consequence Fitzsimmons was given the fight. Both men are of the same eighth and were in fair trim. A Voung Austrian Predicta Another Bulgar ian Uprising. Mr. Ernst Jordan, of Bodenback, Austria, was in the city yesterday at the Duquesne. The young man is traveling in America. About his own country, he said: The death of Budolf is wrapped in mystery, and Just how he died will never be known. All the facts will be carefully guarded. The suc cession has already been settled, and bis sudden demise will not lead to any political complica tions. I often saw him, and he really was liked by the people. He had a very fine wife, but never cared very much for her. This produced his downfall, I think there will be another uprising in Bul garia in a few weeks.' Ferdinand is the present King of the people, and he expected consider able support from the court of Austria, which he never received. The people are chafing and restless, and it won't be long before there is another outlook. This time Austria will not interfere. It was a mistake to remove Alex ander, for he is a good man. Bussia may take a hand in the fight, and the result will be that Bulgaria will be annexed to the Czar's king dom. Austria doesn't care much for the terri tory, and Russia will some day quietly make the gobble. Mr. Jordan spent yesterday examining the city and visiting some of the iron mills. He thinks the new Court House is a magnifi cent structure.

Two Western Fighters Have a Desperate Bare Fist Battle. Chicago, February IS. James Fleming and John Morgan, two local pugilists, fought a bare knuckle battle this morning in a barn near this city. The purse was $1,000 in addition to a $250 gold watch. At the beginning of the fight Morgan had a little the best of it. In the eighth round Morgan got in several good blows, but in return received like punish ment that made him weak, and he was fast losing when the round closed. Two more rounds followed without either man doing much work. In tbeelercnthand last rouna, Morgan seemed determined to win or lose with a final effort. He attacked his op ponent viciously, but ineffectually. His vicious lunges were met with well directed blows on the face and neck. As the round neared a close Fleming .aw an opportunity to get in a knock out blow, and put it in very nicely. Morgan dropped senseless, and when the twelfth round was called he was unable to answer to it. Abont J. I. Case. This is how J. L Case, of Racine, Wis., made iana norseman: te was in Oshkosh, and there heard of the great sneed of a horse owned by a certain minister of that place. The day was Sunday, but he enticed the minister V take him on a drive. He had some difficulty, however.in persuading him to let the trotter out, and only at last succeeded when they were on the home stretch. Imagine the horror of the panshoners of the clerical man when they saw him excitedly leaning forward, grasping the lines over a racing horse, and, moreover, a wicked man of the world by his side. This was Edwin D, which trotted low down in the twen ties. Case bought the horse, and. as he there by acquired the taste, kept on buying, until to day 150 representatives of every fashionable strain known in trotting circles occupy the sta bles of Hickory Grove Farm. Included within this list are Jay Eye See,2J0; Phallas, 2J3J: Brown. 2JS3, and many promising colts and brood marevamong which are Lillian. 223. and Huntress, 220. LONGING FOR HOME.

They will go to Naples, where they will probably play a game to-morrow.

Efforts will be made to find a proper piace witmn the bounds of the holy city or on the camnagna, and a game will be played there if possible. All weU and longing for Now York. Beat the Record. LEmfGTOir, February 15. Mr. W. R. Allen, of Pittsfield, Mass., has Just closed a contract with Mr. W. Corbett, of San Mateo, Cak, for the purchase of the following trotting stock: Sable Hayward, bay mare, 6, by Poscora Hay ward; Jet Wilkes, filly, 3, by Guy Wilkes: black filly, 2, by Guy Wilkes, all of Sable, dam of Sable Wilkes, record 2J8; bay filly, 2, by Guy Wilkes, dam Ruby, by Sultan; bav filly, 2, by Guy Wilkes, dam Atlanta, by The Moor: Lin doraWilke, brown filly. 3, by Guy Wilkes, dam Rosetta, by The Moor, and Rosema Wilkes, bav filly. 4. by Guy Wilkes, dam Young Signal, by Arthurton. The price paid for the lot $60,000 is the largest ever paid in the world for a similar number of untrained trotting bred animals. Want the Money Up. The backers of Joe Ridge, in reply to the statements of the Shea party, say that there is plenty of money behind Ridge, were he in clined to fight. He has, however, left the ring for a time at least, but his backers will matoh a little unknown in Allegheny county to fight Shea. Ridge's backers further state that if the Shea people desire to make a match they should put up a forfeit. Representative Stewart Criticises the Grade Crossing Bill. Testerday the Legislature adjourned until next "Wednesday to give the members an opportunity to vote. Quite a number of the "Western Pennsylvania Representatives 're turned last night. In the party were Henry Hall, of Mercer; Dr. Donaldson, of "Wash ington; Dr. McCulIough, Messrs. Lafferty, Stewart, Morland, "Weaver, Senator Steele and Reading Clerk Baker. Commenting on the grade crossing-bill, Mr. Stewart said: I think the bill is defective in some respects. It provides that in cities where the roads are already built, the city shall bear one-half the expense in constructing the elevated tracks. If a new road is laid the company will have to pay iue wi iuuue. l uie uui is passea, many 01 the cities will not be inclined to stand the enormous outlav.and the result will bn that thn good effects of the bill will be lost I think this would be true of Pittsburg and Allegheny if it became a law. I would also like to see boroughs and towns included in the measure. I know lots of dan gerous crossings in the country that ought to be protected. A bridge over the track would answer the purpose, and it could be done for a small outlay of money.

THERE Is a strong opinion in Chicago to the effect that the McAuliffe-Myers contest was a fake." "Reddt" Richards, the sculler, is running against William Linn for constable for Mifflin township. JohnL. BulxrVAU couldn't get from Boston to New York on Thursday night because be hadn't the train fare. Buck Ewtnq thinks that the officials of the New York club have done wrong in arranging exhibition games with Brooklyn. He says the Giants have all to lose and nothing to gain. Agent James A Hart has made the fol lowing dates for the All American-Chicago party in this country: April 6, with 8 open, New York; April 9, Boston; 10 open; 1L Brook lyn; 12, Washington; 13, Philadelphia; 15, open; Id, Pittsburg; 18, Cleveland; 19, Indianapolis; 20, Chicago. Mr. Hart has written to Mr. Spalding asking him to arrive as close to April taspossiDie. Thkke is a report current that a disagree ment has occurred between President Byrne,of the Brooklyn club, and Manager Wallace, of Rldgewood Park, and that the Brooklyn club will not be able to play any Sunday games there during the coming season. It is also rumored that the Brooklyn club management is now looking for new grounds in the suburbs of Brooklyn on which to play its Sunday games. Speaking of the recent lightweight battle, John Congdon, a leading Chicago sporting man. says: .McAuliffe can whip Myer at any stage of the game if M em ill lead for him, but McAuliffe nor no other man can whip Myer at the jumping-jack game.
