GENERAL SP0ET1XG KEWS OP THE DAI -Af There is not only considerable pleasure to ' "5be derived, but much information to be gained from a conversation with the veteran of baseball, Mr. Harry "WriElit. Few men 1 in the country hare had the amount of practical experience in the national game that the genial manager of the Phillies has 1 had, and very few, indeed, are so well in- l -formed regarding it and its historical and scientific features. Last evening Mr. Wright ', expressed himself at length to the writer Cr - on many interesting baseball topics: He said: j"CeiUinly I anticipate some kind of change in, the classification rule before next 6eason i commences, but I don't at all expect that it will be abolished. There are faults connected 'with it, both as regards high salaries and low ones. What I mean is that some players are classed higher than they ought to be, and some are classed lower than they should be. But we must remember that the rule as a sjstcm is an experiment, and experience will help us to get it Into a thorough going and satisfactory order. The Idea was suggested by Cleveland a long time ago, and had it been adopted then we would have a pood system in operation now. Ve cannot get along without a system founded on a principle that will fairly limit salaries. A system of this kind is just as beneficial to wealthy clubs as to poor ones. A VERT POTENT TLEA. "The more evenly an organization of clubs is balanced the better it is for alL If tbe poor clubs are weak everything will be onesided, and people won't patronize the games. I re member when the Bostons were carrying ev erything before them for several seasons that victory became so monotonous that patrons of tbe game became tired of it and stayed away. It was simply a question of how many runs will Boston finish ahead tolay? The general result was a foregone conclusion. The principle of classification helps poor clubs to get as good players as wealthy clubs. "I am not sure as to what the American As sociation will do in the matter. It is waitingto see how the plan works with us, but I don't think there is stability enough in the Associa tion to. formulate any new plans. There t, , arwsys considerable distrust in at ' organization, as one club is variably suoecting another making a move join the League. This proves that the Asso ciation members themselves look to the League as a superior organization. However, there is iilenty ot room in the country for both, and If Irooklyn were to take Washington's place in the Leajruq there is no reason why Washington should not liecome an Association citv. There are plenty second-class cities that conld be se- cured whicti would still keep tbe Association head ofyin the minor leagues." A league teams sized up. Miwright expressed his opinion about the various League teams. He said : "Cleveland has. a fini club, and no mistake. Tbe players arc; all so evenly balanced that they put up an everyday game of a good order. Certainly it is a new team, but each player has had expe rience enough to know his position. The in field is not made un ot kids by any means, and tbaoutfield is good. The batteries are also . eiy strong; and, as I have said, the players are so equal that they play a very steady game. Kew Yore is a treat team, but has been both ered with its pitchers. The Giants are a dan gerous lot, indeed. But Chicago is getting into shape, and when it is all right, we must look out." The manager had heard nothing definite about the proposed Morrill-Andrews deal, and did not venture any opinion. It is likely, how ever, that Pete Wood will not be long w'lth the Phillies, and Mr. Wright will part with him very reluctantly, if he is to be relea-ed. Satur day's came seems to have caused Mr. Wright's estimation nf Wood to fall a little. The manager said: "Wood is just the Kind of young man that the rlnb wants. He is a gentleman, and his sobriety and good moral conduct arc noteworthy But these qualities don't win games. He was most highly recommended to us. and we were given to understand that he would equal any of our old men. I'm sorry that this prediction has not come true. When e have tried him i he has fallen short of expectations to a very great extent." THE DEACON' DEPARTS. Us May Soe tbe I'ittxbarg Ball Clnb for Conspiracy. "Deacon" White has returned home and his signing is just, as likely now as it ever was. He emphatically holds out for half of his pur chase money. He cannot get it and he, there fore, refuses to sign with Pittsburg. While here be put his case in a nutshell by saying that he either wanted to play or have his re lease. The fact is, however, as stated previ ously in thee columns the "Deacon" does not want to play here. He came here to try and obtain his release so that he could play in Buffalo. It is probable that he will now ask his law vet's advice as to what he sbould do next. The Deacon, when in this city, intimated that there was such a thing as making people pay for conspiring to deprive another man of his means of livelihood. He claims that the Pitts burg club and the League are doing this, and that the laws of the country are opposed to such like action. To-Day's Ilome Grar. The local team and the Phillies will meet in the arena again this afternoon at Recreation Park. Tbe battery of the visitors will be either Bufflncton or Qlea6on and Clements. Galvin and Miller will look after the home team. Garfield may arrive to-day. and Manager ,rr!gbt hopes that he will face the Phillies on Tuesday. ASSOCIATION GAMES.

The lovers ot the game in this city are mostly, working people, and they demand of tbe management a change, to have, a half day's rest and recreation with out losing their day's work, which is not only a loss of time but money as well. Tbe team tbus far has won four and lost four games on tbeir trip. They play three with Mansfield, com mencing to-day, where they expect to win two of tbe three games, President Powell has received a telegram from the Cincinnati club, offering Kennedy's release. He will not part with Kennedy just yet. Median, tho new pitcher, will likely re port for duty to-morrow. He Is said to be a good man. and with Sunday games baseball In tho Nail Citv will doubtless boom to the de light of the Boaid of Directors, who have gono pretty deep in their pockets to keep up the game in this city. THEY'RE NOT BLUFFERS. Tho Scotts' Manager Pats Up tbe Cash to Piny McKeesport. The McKeesport Baseball Club will now have to do something more than talk to get even with the Scotts. of this city. Last evening Mr. J. W. Scott, manager of the Scotts, called at this office and replied' to tbe charges of the Mc Keesport club against his team. He said: "I want it distinctly understood that we are no bluffers, but we mean business everytime. The reason we did not arrance to go to Mc Keesport on the Fourth was because they would uot give us two dates on that day, and we got two dates atanotherplace. Now, about tbe blowing. I'll test McKeesport by chal lenging them to play us at Recreation Park on J uly 9, 10 and 11 f or $100 a side.

Pierre Arrives In tbe City nnd Makes a Statement. Antonio Pierre, the Greek athlete, arrived in the city yesterday and called at this office last evening. Tbe big Greek bad blood in his eye, and made the following statement in a very emphatic manner: "I seo that Duncan Ross has my name an nounced among the entries for the wrestling tournament which takes place at Recreation Park on the Fourth. Now, I want to say that I authorized nobody to put my name on that bill, but I have come here to make a match to wrestle Ross In any style he likes. I w ou't wrestle him on Thursday, but I want to meet him for a stake. I will force him to wrestle me or be must shut up." Regarding the great tournament and mounted broad-sword combat, the following letter wasreceived at this office from Boston yesterday: To the Sporting Editor orThe Dispatch: I met Duncan C Koss In a mounted sword com bat tn Montreal, Canada, recently and he only de feated me by a trick, and. as 1 understand, be Is In the 6word combat at 1'ltUhurg, Pa.. July 4. I wish It understood that 1 will be tbere to meet him, and If he can again defeat me 1 will be satis fied. PETE LEltOTU, Chasseur de frlque. A movement is on foot to havo a tug-of-war Scotch against Americans at the tournament. Strong and thoroughbred Scotchmen are needed to complete a team. STOPPED THE KNOCK-OUT. Pnt KMcn Not Allowed to Face SomeBlow hnrds. DutUTn. Mint., Jnne 30. Pat Killcn gave an exhibition Inst night to a packed bouse. Before the r-parring commenced, a message from the California Athletic Club, of San Fran cisco, was read, forbidding Killen to engage In any knock-cut contests. If he did, they will consider his engagement to flcht McAulilTe as off. This becoming known, a lot of fighters. Pat Sbechy, Conley and Paddy McDonald among them, wanted to stand before Killen. This, of course, was impossible, and for a time a general riot seemed inevitable. Manager Gooding then offered to put up $500 in the hands of any responsible person that Killen conld whip any of the gang when his McAuliff e fight was over. Another account says Sheeby offered 1500 to stand up against Killen, but his offer was re fused, to the disgust of the audience, who hissed him roundly. Will Fight tbe Winner. CrriCAGo, June SO. Peter Jackson, the Aus tralian pugilist, is here now and is anxious to make a inatch with tbe winner of the Sullivan Kilrain fight. He says he can thrash either of tlicm and would only be too happy to demon strate his ability to do so. He refrains from expresing any opinion as to the relative merits of Sullivan and Kilrain. The colored pugilist sajs he doesn't think he will be able to cet a fight out of Sullivan, because of tbe tatter's expressed determination not to go against a negro, but hopes to have a go at Kilrain some time. A Good Race Promised. The Butchers and Merchants' 2:10 pacing race, which takes place at Exposition Park on Thursday afternoon, promises to be an inter esting event. The entries will close to-morrow at 12 o'clock r. v. Following are the entries up to date: George W. Evans' Harris, William Mclntyre's Jessie M. J. B. Heldeger's John, William Artz berger's Prince A, Jos. Tipton's Handy Andy, John ltourh's Butcher Boy. Moore tlordd's bay gelding, William Booth's Walter B. Corcoran 'Zriurns. Billy Corcoran, the local pugilist, arrived bom last evening from Dayton, O., where he easily defeated Joe McCarthy, another local man, in a fight to a finish a few nights ago. McCarthy m knocked out in the sixth round, after fighti.ii: gamely. Corcoran was seconded byBIison Jack, and gives promise of being quite a handy fellow in tbe ring. A GAME FIGHT. Jimmy Lynch Dclcaia Tommy Danforth In a Desperate Contest. ,-SrXCIAI.TXLXOKAU TO THE DtSrATCH.1 New York. June SO, Tbe fight between the light weights. Tommy Danforth and, Jimmy Lynch, which took place on Staten Island early this morning was the gam est battle that has taken place in this vicinity between men of their size since Havelin and Farrel met and fought 49 rounds. Tbe fight was for a purse of $250. It was Lynch's first skin glove light, but he has a good record as an amateur. He is 21 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed 121 pounds. Danforth had tbe advantage of ex perience and age. He is SO yers old, S feet 4 Inches tall and weighed 121 pounds. He is a veteran in the ring and has met the best at bis weight. He foucbtlke Weir to a draw. He fought Tommy Warren, the California Athletic Club's favorite, twice, each winning a match. Lynch began the fight a second after time was called with a right hand swing on Danforth's cheek. Danforth dodged back and slipped. He fell on his hands and knees, but was up in a moment, and planted a hot one on Lynch's jaw. Lynch smiled and got in two good ones In return. In the nineteenth round both showed punishment. At the close of the round Lynch got In a good upper cnt on Danforth's damaced eye. Dan forth returned It with a terrific blow on Lynch's Jaw bone, knocking it all side way. When time was called it was discovered that the blow had broken Lynch's jaw. Lynch was plucky, and fought on. The twentieth was hot. Lynch up per cut Danforth twice, and onco caught him in the stomach. Danforth was weak, but he got in several hot ones on Lynch's broken jaw. When time was called both were blowing hard. The twenty-first was hotter still. Finally, in the twenty-second, Danforth got in a right hand upper-cut on Lynch's jaw, and he went down on his bands and knees. It was partly due to the slippery floor and partly to the force ot the blow. Ashe was getting up, Danforth deliberately struck him three hard blows. There were wild howls of "Foul I foull" from Lynch's friends. Lynch got up in a moment and went to his corner. Referee Donohue allowed the claim of foul and awarded the fight to Lynch. Danforth staggered across tbe rinz and the fighters grasped each other's hands as cordially as though nothing had happened. They still smiled. Lynch with difficulty, for be couldn't close his mouth. Ho went around thouch and took up a collection for the man he had whipped. Old sporting men present declared that they had never seen such a plucky fight, and they predicted that Lynch would be a world-beater with a little more experience in the ring.

Manaqek Wright savs that three pitchers in good condition are quite sufficient for a club to carry. "On, what a roast!" may satelv be said of the manner in which the Sporting Times deals with the "millennium plan" this week.

A large number of the graduates and representatives of Trinity College attended the Episcopal Church here to-day, and listened to a sermon delivered by Bishop Itullison, who complimented the proiessors of Trinity College, several of whom were present, for their practiced edu cational attainments, but intimated that in their zeal to teach the various branches of the institution, they were liable to forget the importance of imparting spiritual instruction.

Mrs. C. "Wilder, a widow, whose home is at Newark, N. J., has been at Standing Hock Agency for some time, and has been much fascinated by Sitting Bull. It is contrary to regula tions for any Indians to leave tbe reserva tion without leave from the agent, but Mrs. "Wilder and the old chief arranged for a trip to Rosebud Agency. Being unable to leave without permis sion, Mrs. Wilder undertook to get leave of Agent McLaughlin, but -was refused. Straightway Mrs. "Wilder became enraged, threatened to secure the, agent's removal, and used the most abusive language in ad dressing him, continuing her threats and abuses until ordered by tbe agent to leave the reservation. His action is said to be correct, because of Sitting Bull's disturbing influence in case he visited the lower agency. BIGAMISTS ON PRINCIPLE.

EING ARRANGEMENTS FOE THE MILL rSnCIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISFATCO.1 New York. Juno 30. The first of the men Irom this part of the country who are going down -to Louisiana to see the Sulli-van-Kilrain fight left, to-night on the 8:15 train on the "West Shore road. They will reach Bochester early to-morrow morning, and wait there until Sullivan arrives from Belfast. That may be to-morrow afternoon or evening, cr perhaps Tuesday. There will be a special train then made up at Bochester to take the party South. The most important part of the special will be the baggage car in which Sullivan will be kept under training by Muldoon until the journey is over. . . The men who left New York to-night are all believers in Sullivan. There were James Far rell, Joe Coburn, JlmWakely, Charley John son, Phil Lynch, Leonard Tracey, John Bohan on.V. V. Molloy, Jack Cusack. Tom Farrel, Dan Murphy, of Boston; Jim Fowler, Tom McJIannes, Sid Bent, of Boston; T. A. Bingham. Frank Moran, of Bridgeport, and Barney Maguire. When they arrived at the ferry at the foot of West Forty-second street they found a horde of small boys from the tenements of that region who were delighted to see friends of Sullivan. The small boys looked at tbe sportinc men in awe for a moment, and then, as they hurried into the ferry house, the youngsters . CHEERED FOE JOHN Ij. It seemed as it all the other passengers over at the Weehawken station who were going out on the 805 train knew that the Sullivan party was to be aboard, and they took great interest in the group of sporting gentlemen. Sullivan stock was high all over town to-day, for tbere was a general growth of the idea that Muldoon had got the big tighter into first rate shape. Some men are prophesying, bow ever, thatthe change of climate will hurt Sul livan more than Kilrain. for the difference be tween the clear air of Belfast and the air of New Orleans will be greater than the differ ence between Baltimore and New Orleans. Aspecial from New Orleans says: New Or leans Is wildly excited over the coming Kilrain Snlllvan figbt, and It Is tho only subject of dis cussion here. Frank Stevenson, who is now backing Kilrain, and who was until recently an ardent supporter of Sullivan, explains why he deserted tbe champion. "I bet on him," he said, "until after the Mitchell fiasco. I was certain that Sullivan would win, as I know that be worked hard for It. and that he did not drink a drop in England. Snllivan's special qualifications are for a fight un der the Marquis of Queensberry rules. HeJs the greatest Marquis of Queensberry tighter the world has ever seen. No man living can beat him in a four-round glove fight. But in battles to a finish, where generalship and staying powers are needed, Sullivan is not near as great as Kilrain. I have watched Kil rain, and see that be is tbe GREATEST OP KINO TACTICIANS. "He does not keep his head still, to be hit at, like Sullivan does. He has a terrifio right and a wonderful left, and is as skillful in getting away from punishment as in diving it. He fights as carefully as skillful players play euchre, keeping count of his points and making each punch count a point. After his fight with Smith his abilities became known, and since then his reputation has been steadily going. What fits him especially for a ring fighter is his wonderful endurance. In his figbt with Smith he did not even wet his lips during the hour he was in the ring." J. W. Barnett, who left John u Sullivan Wednesday evening, at bis training quarters in Belfast, N. Y., in an interview said: 'Sullivan never looked better, I knew him when he fought Ryan, and I tell you frankly he is in better shape at present than ever in his life. As far as I can see there Is not a bit ot superfluous flesh on him. and the story that he is flabby looking about the muscles is all bosh. His wind Is excellent, and his legs are as solid and as strong, almost, as bars of steel. Jnst before I left he skipped tbe rope S00 times with out a break, and a man must have pretty good legs and mighty good wind to do that." A train will leave the city at about midnight with men aboard to put things in order at tbe grounds. The Western Union will send out its linemen at the same time with the ring makers, and will have fonr lines from the ground to New Orleans by daylight. It will have its four fastest operators stationed at them, so that tbe news can be sent simultaneously over the whole country. The special ring train will leave the city by 4 o'clock, and its patrons will be ail seated first. IN EIGHTH PLACE. . Flttsbnrc Blnkes a Good Snowing en the Roll of Exchanges. Boston, June 30.

Detroit News.l A lumber pile made of boards each 100 feet long and 6 feet in width would be an unprecedented sight in the ast,butagentle man recently returned from a visit to the coast of the North Pacific ocean says that piles of lumber such as that are common at the mills on Fuget Sound. ''Boards 100 feet long and 6 feet wide, without a knot in th em," he said, "are common cuts from the gigantic fir trees of the Puget Sonnd forests. These trees grow to the enormous height -of 250 feet, and the forests are so vast that, although the saw mills have been ripping 600,000,000 feet of lumber out ot them every year for ten years the spaces made by these tremendous inroads seem no more than garden patches. Sir. nioine Enally Suited. Bockland (Me.) Courier-Gazette.: A Portland hotel clerk says that Mr., Blaine is easy to suit. "He will come in and register and ask for a room if he is alone. We know he wants the best room in the honse, and he usually gets it, invariably on the first Boor front. He is very easy' to suit and never grumbles." Strange man, that Blame. Always insists upon having the best that there is and never grumbles when he gets it I FOR CRONIES MURDER. The Trial of the Suspected Assassin Will Not Take Place Until Aacnst A Mystrrlons Suicide Thought to be Cooney, tho Fox. Chicago, June 30. State's Attorney Iiongenecker said to-day: '1 doubt if everything will be in readiness for the Cronin trial before August, and the court takes its vacation during that month, but tbe vacation might be waived in order to try this case. At present I cannot state with any greater definiteness when the trial will be held. All of the indicted men will be tried together, of, that I am confident, notwithstanding that a fight will undoubt edly be made by the accused for a separate trial." There was a rumor to-day that Kunze, the German suspect, was one of the mysterious witnesses whom the authorities smuggled into the grand jury rooau without their identity becoming known. The theory is that Kunze has long been in custody, and will be suddenly produced at the trial as a witness for tbe State. Yery little credence ,1s given the report. Michael Conley, a rolling mill employe, who was arrested: last night for being drunk and disorderly, is being examined by the police as a pobsible Cronin murderer. " Con ley cannot account satisfactorily for his whereabouts at the time of the tragedy, but otherwise nothing suspicions was learned by pumping him. A special to Chicago from "Wichita says: Thursday evening two men passed through Wichita on their way to the west, stopping off here one train. When ber the two men passed their time inquiring for one J. W. Harwood, whom they seemed to expect to find at one of the hotels. Thev boarded an evening train,and just before arriving in Arkansas City one of them plunged a knife into his throat and cut a gash from ear to ear. He was taken to an uptown hotel, and In the meantime tbe second man uisappeared entirely. Tbe man who attempted suicide first said that his name was Thompsonand that he as ex-postmaster of West Chicago. This morning, while in a state of delirium, the man talked continually ot Cronin's murder and fre quently mentioned the names of Burke, Wood ruff and Norton. He seemed to be well acquainted with the incidents of the Cronin mystery, and about noon, during a lucid mo ment, he said thatNorton was the man who was with him when ho attempted suicide, though he denied all knowledge of the Cronin affair. The authorities here and in Arkansas City believe him to be Cooney, the "Fox." He was asked this afternoon if he knew Burke and Sullivan, and he admitted that he had seen them both. His wounds are deep,, and al though tbere is a possibility of his recovery, it is not likely that he will see Monday morning. He says that before he dies he bas a statement to make, but all efforts to get him to talk this afternoon failed. Another special to Chicago from Arkan sas City says the man at Wichita is Cooney, bnt a resident ot that city. TRANSFERRED AT MIDNIGHT. The Wnbnh Rnllwny Tnrncd Over by the Kecelver to tbe'' Committee. Chicago, Jnlyl.-Atmidnightthe"Wabash Bailway and all the property belonging to it were turned over by Receiver McNulta to the purchasing committee, and the opera tion of the road by the management of the "Wabash "Western began at that hour.

Remit tances for receipts, commencing July l,will be made to the Treasurer ot the "Wabash "Western Bailway at St. Louis. The accounts for July will all be kept in the name of the "Wabash "Western Bailway Company's agent," meaning the agent for the purchasing committee. It is expected that the formal reorganization will tie effect ed by August 1, and tbe title of the accounts will again be changed to conform with the new corporate name, which will be "The "Wabash Kailroad Company." The ex-receiver, General McNulta, will probably find enough to keep himself busy in Chicago for a month or two yet, but his control aud management of the road ended at midnight. General McNulta 's subordinates find their occupation gone, the officers of the "Wabash "Western superseding them with prompt ness at the hour named for the transfer. AN ORANGE COSTS A LIFE.

The weather to day was in strong contrast with the wet and foggy days of last week. A number of vis itors struck the town, but the majority took advantage of the sunshine and went to the reservoir. The fakirs were doing an excel lent business, which seemed strange to every Fittsburger accustomed to the strict enforcement of the blue laws. I managed to secure a glass of soda in Cambria City, the first for many a day. General Hastings had invited a number of guests to spend Sunday with him. In tbe party were State Senator Gobin, General Lowden S'nowden, Adjutant General Axline, of Ohio, and "William Flinn. Captain Jones remained over and gave a dinner. IN- HON OE OP THE VISITOB3. Governor Foraker was expected to be present, bnt he sent his regrets. Appro priate speeches were made by General Snow den, Senator Gobin,' General Wiley, Gen eral Hastings, William Flinn and Colonel Cosgrove, of Braddock. All the gentlemen agreed that some great work, had been done in Johnstown. During the morning they rode over the devastated territory with Gen eral Hastings. Those who had not seen the awful wreck before, were astonished that water could wreak such vengeance on help less humanity. General Axline, of Ohio, who arrived in Johnstown on the Snnday morning after the flood, and Colonel Spangler, related some ot the things they saw to a croup of listen ers. It is beginning to be feared that Get tysburg will be forgotten, and the story teller will commence his yarn with the re mark: "Now, when I was at the Johnstown flood," etc nAXDTVOEKINO OFFICEBS. People may say what they please, but Governor Beaver has a hardworking set of staff officers. Every man at the head of a department is trying to beat the other in conducting his business properly. Accounts are kept ot the most trifling details with the same exactness as if they involved millions. The most rigid honesty it practiced, but for fear some cranky legislator may question the books two years heuce, the officers are taking the greatest pains in the prepara tions of their reports and the filing of papers in the accounting department. No money is paid out without a sworn voucher, and in addition, every man must be identified. Isbael. FOUND HIS SISTER'S BODY. Mr. BridKts, of DrnddoCk, Recovers the Remains of Bin.

The groom, a fine-looking and active senior, with a profusion of iron-gray hair, has long resided in Binghampton and is possessed oi an ample fortune. Tbe bride, who is also well preserved and sprightly for her years, has for some time resided here. Over half a century ago Joseph Conkling and Maria Tuttle were neighbors and lov ers, living with their parents near Batavia, N. Y. The course of true love did not run smooth with them. It was the old story oi the penniless suitor cruelly frowned upon and turned away by 'the maiden's well-to-do and inexorable parents. The disappointed lovers went their respective ways and fonnd other consorts, from whom, in the course of time, they were parted by death. Tbus bereaved, and after many years of separation, the old time lovers met again by chance, and the happy sequel is told in the announcement of their nuptials and departure on the conventional wedding journey.
