INTERESTING GOSSIP ABOUT PLAIEES
Almost all the brilliancy was knocted
off those Stars from Syracuse yesterday
afternoon at Kecreation Park. They essayed
to play a game of ball with the sluggers of
our own town and were prettynear walloped
out of tight. There is now and then a
pleasure in looking at a contest where the
victims make something like a struggle,
though victory may seem impossible. Jack
Chapman's host, however, did not make the
semblance of a contest yesterdayand there
were no umpires to blame, at that
The plain and simple fact was that the
visitors were outclassed in all respects.
"Whatever the Stars may be in less classic
regions than tbe National League, they are
a lev degrees too high when coping with
the Pittsburg aggregation. Bishop, who
formerly was a popular member of the local
team, pitched for the visitors nnd his re
ceiver was Briggs, another player from
Allegheny City. Bishop really was a pala
table bite tor the home talent, and it seemed
to be that little Willie Kuehne had dis
covered the signs of Bishop and Briggs last
winter in the famous Federal street cigar
store. At any rate, Kuehne never had a
better picnic than when lacing Bishop
yesterday.
BILLT'S BIG rjATTIXG.
The descendant of the late Kaiser was
fiye times at bat and thumped the ball hard
every time. Two triples, a double and two
singles was his record, and surely that was
sufficient for one day. Had the game pro
ceeded further Kuebne would probably
have knocked the ball out of sight. And
big Jake Beckley used the stick with some
effect also; in short, almost every member
of the team felt at home when trying to size
up our quaudom friend, Mr. Bishop.
Briggs caught a good game and gives creat
promis of being :i front rank man behind
the hat. He is an excellent thrower to sec
ond and as active as a cat. The fielding of
the Stars was not as bright as it was on Fri
day; nor did they play with anything like
the same vim. To be sure, there is not
much encouragement for hustling when the
ball is being banged right and left.
Maul was in the box for the local team
and pitched a. good game. At times he was
wild and cave seven men their bases on
balls. "Whon he did get the ball over the
plate, however, the Stars had great difficulty
in locating ,it. He was well supported by
Fields and the balance of the team. Allen
again displayed an apparent nervousness
when at b-tt and once or twice when fielding
a hot grounder.
The game was certainly not an interesting
or lively one, because it was too one-sided.
The wea ther was all that could be desired,
but the 1,500 people present nzver got near
an enth nsiastic state. Miller, of the home
team, a nd Aldrich, one of the pitchers ot
the Stars, umpired, and they did well."
There ras no kicking at their decisions.
THAT MEBBY ETXISG.
3 To flell the story of how the runs were
tnadeirouldbea tiresome tale. The only
inning that caused any fun worthy the
name was the "fifth, when it looked as if
poor lifttle Bishop was going to be com
pletely pulverized. Allen led off and went
to first on balls. He reached second on a
scratch Hit by Sunday, and got to third on a
muffed throw by McQuery. Sunday stole
second and Fields rapped out a single to
left. He stole second, and both Sun
day and kim scored on Beckley's
hard crack to left field for two bases.
Beckley reached third on a passed ball.
Smith flew out to Joe Batten and Coleman
knocked a long fly to "Wright, Beckley com
ing home on the throw in. Maul sent out a
nice single to middle and easilv doubled
home when the ex-Kaiser banged the ball
far into middle field for three bases.
The home players made three more runs,
but only one "was earned, and Kuebne
brought it in by another triple in the ninth.
The visitors did not earn a run. They
tallied entirely on bases on balls and an
error by Smith. Following is the score:

SOME GOOD EACING AT MEMPHIS.

Fighters and the
There was any amount of excitement at
the Central Rink yesterday on account of
the 12-hour pedestrian contest. There were
two events in one, viz., the match between
Cartwright and Noremac and the consola
tion race. The latter was for the men who
were beaten in the six-day contest of last
week. Judging by the number of starters
there were IS men to be consoled, and everyone
got over the limit of 60 miles during the 12
boors' journey.
Tbe great attraction, however, was the race
between Cartwright and Noremac They con
tested for tlOO a side, The Dispatch being
stakeholder. There was considerable quiet
betting on the race', Cartwright being a strong
favorite. Good judces were of opinion that
i Koremacliad a poor chance of winning in con
sequence of his exhausting race last week.
A COBKECT OMNIOIT.
This opinion turned out to be correct, as the
plucky little Scotchman collapsed oompletely
when he had covered 53 miles.
Cartwricht soon took two laps' lead of Nore
mac, and held that until about 2 o'clock, .two
hours and a half .after the race started. Nore
mac's feet began to weaken then, and Cart
wright gradually increased his lead from that
time on. Noremac, however, stuck to his
work, though it was apparent he was In a hope
less struggle. As supper time approached he
began to weaken perceptibly, and fainted once
or twice on tbe track. He made the most
heroic efforts to continue the race, but nature
rebelled, and the game little man was led into
his cot just as 55 miles had been recorded to
bis credit.
Although Cartwright had so decisively set
tled Noremac be had still a desperate struggle
before him to win the consolation race. Big
Williams who bad been conceded three miles
miles start In the day's racing was going like a
whirlwind. When Noremac collapsed, Cart
wright set out to catch Williams. He accom
plished bis task, hut had to make a tremendous
effort
CAUGHT HIM AMID CHEEBS.
He overhauled him shortly after supper amid
cheers, bnt couldn't get very readily away from
him. He got abouttwo laps ahead of Williams
and the pair kept at that for a long time, Will
iams apparently going the fresher of the two.
Cartwricht, however.gained lap by lap until ho
bad a mile between himself and Williams.
During the latter part of the afternoon Mes
sier and Engledrum showed well up. The lat
ter put on a burst of speed and retained it
long enough to surprise" everybody. He rushed
right up among tbe leaders. Ho failed to stay
long enough, however, to get thoroughly on
even terms with the foremost men. Messier,
who had four miles start, kept in front for a
long time, but his lack of condition began to
tell: Williams gradually caught bim. Outside
of tbe pedestrians named none of tbe others
were ever dangerous in the race, except Brown,
who had flvejniles start.
Relationships were considerably strained
among the contc'tants. The feeling between
Cartwright and Noremac was bitter, and that
between Messier and Williams was worse.
Each cave the other to understand that the
future will brine about some crushing defeats.
Noremac remarked that he is prepared to bet
that he'll beat Cartwright the next time they
meet.
As 1130 approached Cartwright gained a few
more laps on Williams and the race was prac
tically won. The attendance during the day
was good, and the order and arrangements ex
cellent. When the bell sounded for 1130 The
Dispatch representative handed the stakes of

DEMPSEY IN TOWN.
He Expects to Secure a Fight at San
Francisco.
Jack Dempsey and Denny Oostigan were in
the city yesterday on their way West, They
are engaged to appear in Western cities with
Harry Williams' variety show. During a con
versation Dempsey said he will appear in box

through with his engagements he will be quite
willing to meet any middle-weight in the world
at that city.
He talked particularly plain about Reacan,
and said he is ready to meet him at any con

IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, April 20. Copyright. Donovan
keeps his place in the Derby quotations, being
pretty freely backed at level meney. For the
2,000 guineas he has been hacked at 7 to 4 on,
and this is the best price obtainable.
Jem Carney is very emphatic about meeting
McAuliffe with bare' fists, only be has again de
clined this week to take part in any boxing
show with him, but he will fight him, limiting
tbe fight to ten rounds, if McAnllffe is so dis
posed. Carney thinks ten rounds, with fists,
quite enough to settle McAnllffe. Many shrewd
betting men are quietly backing the Amer
ican. The sculling match between Searle, the Aus
tralian, and O'Connor, the Canadian, is at
tracting a lot of interest here, bnt there is also
somt mortification attached to It, It is a bitter
pill for Englishmen to witness two foreigners
competing for the championship of the world
on tbeir own river, and never a Britisher good
enough to make a race of it with either Of
them. Professional sculling In England was
never at a lower ebb, though amateur sculling
has reached a high point. Trickery anil hrppo
droming are at the bottom of the trouble here
as in America.
