PETEEJACKSOK'SPCGILISTIC ABILITIES
Few people, if any, who have taken an
interest in the arrest and trial of John L.
Sullivan and others for participation in the
now famous prize fight in Mississippi, would
be surprised to bear of the conviction of the
champion. It would have been one of the
most remarkable events connected with the
prize ring bad Sullivan not been found
guilty, and it certainly would have made a
complete burlesque or the administration of
law. 'Even as matters have ended there has
been much done that is not creditable to the
way in which the law was protected. It
seems to me that if a thorough investigation
was made it would be discovered that the
arrests at least were made because of the ab
sence of sufficient "hush money." "Why it
is now a public fact that one
of the principals of the fight was protected to
the rioc side by the very man who has been
conspicuous in the arrest. This protection was
given, we are told, on a promise tbat the pro
tected would pay a certain amount of money
for it. Tbe money was never paid, and why
should we not say tbat subsequent events were
all transacted merely to "get event" I yet fail
to see why tbe fight was allowed to taVe place
at all it there was all the earnestness about tbe
law officers regarding tbe upholding of the law
tbat we were told tbere was. Probably there
was never a prize fight more heralded than the
one in question. Anybody in Mississippi could
easily find out where tbo battle ground was to
be and yet not a representative of the law was
on the scene except as a spectator. Surely
these facta give reason for suspecting tbat
many people expected money from tbe affair
and that these expectations were blighted.
There is every proof that the principals were
hounded from place to place after tbe fight,
not because of any desire of the bounders to
vindicate the law. but entirely to obtain
money. I, therefore, ask again if tbe expecta
tion of money did not allow tbe fight to pro
ceed, what did?
Eflecti of the Conviction.
Undoubtedly tbe conviction will have a very
staggering effect on prize fighting both in this
and in otlfer countries. It is ilikely that we
have seen the last championship battle under
the old-time conditions for a long time to come
In this country. I dare say not many people
will be sorry for this in view of tbe way this
kind of contests have been conducted of late.
Time and time again I have contended in these
columns thit to get money and not to de
velop skill and test merit was the
great aim of pugilism nowadays. This element
has operated so strongly that the most ques
tionable transactions have been resorted to.
Even in tbe last battle at Mississippi tbe great
object was money. Trains were cbanored and
the affair was announced from every hilltop In
tbe country. Every inducement was offered to
get citizens of whatever rank to put up their
money and patronize the fight. The fact of the
fight, was thrust in the face of every man
whether he was a pastor or a bookmaker.
Money was wanted; tbe fight was secondary.
Can bold and boisterous violations of law like
this be allowed? Even if tbere was no law to
prevent the trumpet announcements of a prize
light nor the fight itself, depend upon it,
tbe public would demand a law. In
tbe past it was these large and rough
crowds at prize fights that more than anything
else stopped them. So It has been in this coun
try. Admirers of pugilistic skill must now look
to private clubs for contests nnder Queens
berry rules. This will be all the better for Sul
livan. But It may not be wide of tbe mark to
predict very strong efforts will be made to
reach the clubs, and if tbat is done boxing will
receh e a heavy blow.
Of course. Sullivan's sentence is a salty one,
and everybody will wonder nhy the referee
was only fined 1230. The referee is a Southern
man, but I have always understood that a
referee is one of the "principal principals." If
space would allow I would like to say a few
words regarding the Smith-SIavin match. I'll
do that next week.
Baseball Affair.
The local clnb has during tbe week once
more demonstrated the fact that it can do
great work. The games on Thursday and Fri
day particularly show that the players are in
the front rank when they are in form. It is
their irregularity, however, tha,t has been their
downfall, both in tbe race and in the estimation
of tbe people. Now and again they show all of
us tbat they can just do their work as clean and
as brilliant as anybody and snddenly tbev de
generate into the most amateurish ruts, flow
ever, .there may be a little consolation in tbe
fact that they can play great balL Tbe team is
undoubtedly in good shape again, and that ac
counts more than anything else for the jerent
good work. The pitchers, at least all of them
except Conway, are all right, and if they keep
in form it may be possible for tbe team to land
in fifth place. One thing is sure, viz, tbat If
the players keep all right they will have much
to say in determining- whether New York or
Boston shall have the pennant.
League nnd Association.
The interview with J. W. Waltz, which ap
peared in this paper on Monday, contained
many features of vital interest to patrons of
both tbe National Leaguo and the American
Association. The principal statement of Mr.
Waltz, however, was to tbe effect tbat tbe As
sociation will certainly do something during
the coming winter toward having a common
plan of organization adopted by the two large
baseball bodies. Mr. Waltz is probably in a
position to talk authoritatively on tbe matter.
He Is a prominent official of the Baltimore
club, and his commercial business has bronght
him in contact with all the Association mag
nates recently. He is, therefore, in possession
of the opinion of tbe Association people, so
tbat what be says may be taken as what tbe
Association intends to do. This is probably
one of the mot.t important questions that will
come up for discussion during fall and
winter. A settlement of it may mean
a very great revolution iu baseball organization;
but ne may expect to see tbe abolition of the
present mode of classifying the salaries of
players. If tbis is adhered to it is not likely
tbat the Association will unite witji the League
on the matter. However, Mr. Waltz gives us
some idea of what may be done. Speaking as a
member of the Association, he saj s tbat tbe
plan suggested by President Spalding Is one,
generally speaking, worthy of adoption. Many
good authorities in tbe League also entertain
similar opinions, so tbat we maybe fully pre
pared to see a strong effort made to have tbe
plan made a baseball law. Tbe plan, in my way
of thinking, seems all right, except that part of
it which relates to minor leagues, and which
was discussed by me last Sunday.
Afraid of a Brotherhood.
But it seems tome that one of the strongest
Inducements the Association magnates have to
get in line with the League Is tbe fear of As
ft
w
SPOTS
sociation players organizing a brotherhood. I
state this mostly on authority of Mr. Waltz.
There is nothing to complain about in tbis, but
if tbe desire is to try and ignore tbe existence
of a brotherhood then tbe Association is as far
from tbe path of right as it can well get. It Is
indeed very strange nowadays to hear of any
man or body of men denying others tbe right to
unite so as to work legally for tbo attainment
of a common object. Tbe very fact tbat tbe
Association magnates claim the right. to or
ganize for the promotion proves conclusively
tbat tbo players have a similar, and tbe plain
English of it is tbat those who try to prevent
them from organizing are tyrants. I am of tbe
opinion that the Association players will try
and form a brotherhood during next winter. I
hope they will organize, because organization
of a true kind always makes those connected
with it better men. It all tbe players of the
two major bodies and all tbe magnates were
tborongbly organized into two or tbree or four
respective associations or brotherhoods the
possibilities of baseball would, indeed, be
made considerably greater.. Tbat such a state
of things will eventually come round I firmly
believe, and I venture the prediction that the
stronger the efforts to prevent players from
organizing the soouer will they become organ
ized. v
Mnnnecr Ilnnloo.
During tho last week or so the affairs of the
local ball clnb have been in a very unsettled
condition What with disposing of players;
trying to get new ones and to fill the vacancy
caused by tbe sad illness of Manager Phillips,
the officials of the club have been kept exceed
ingly busy. However, matters look a little
more satisfactory now, and probably tbe most
satisfactory change or appointment that has
been made is assigning Ed Hanlon to the cap
taincy and management of the team. I am ex
tremely pleased tbat such an appointment has
been made and 1 trust tbat It will be for the
great advantage of the club. True, Hanlon
may bave much to learn in tbe way of fulfilling
the duties of manager, bnt he is intelligent
and aDt He will not, I suppose, bave all the
details to look after tbat Mr. Phillips bad, but
what ho does not know at present be can learn.
At anyrate, his chances of success are ejually
as good as those of almost any outside manager
tbat conld have been secured. It was tbe in
tention of President Nlmick to place the affairs
of tbe clnb when away from home in the hands
of Sunday. Dunlap, however, resigned the
captaincy of the team, and apparently his only
successor was Hanlon. This being so, it cer
tainly was the best thing possibIe,under tbe
circumstances to give Hanlon full swing. A
more energetic andrustwortby manager conld
not be secured than Hanlon. He is a practical
man and his experience has been long and va
ried. Tbe Champion Billiard Players.
For some time past quite an interesting,
though in many respects onesided oontroversy
has been going on between Jacob Schaeffer and
George F. blosson relative to a match
for the billiard championship. Of course
the death of Mrs. Schaeffer, the cham
pion's wife, will prevent his playing
until next January. However, that ought not
to prevent a match from being made between
the men and if a match was definitely made all
the useless talk would probably subside. I
bave just said that the controversy so for has
been a onesided affair. What I mean by tbis
is tbat all reason, sense of f airplay and a desire
to play has been on tbe side of Schaeffer. It
rea'ly seems to me that Slosson does not want
to tackle Schaeffer at all; at least tbe former is
acting exactly like people whom I bave known
and who tried to shirk a contest. Schaeffer's
challenge to tbe Clipper leaves no doubt at all
regarding tbat gentleman's desire to play. Tbe
challenge is really so broad and so much in
favor of Slosson tbat I take the liberty to re
produce it:
As Georee if. Slosson has not accepted my cbai
lengetohlm, published In your paper of August
10, alleging through tbe dally papers the unsulta
bleness or the weather, tae size of tbe proposed
stake, and his unwillingness to get Into practice
at tbis time, etc, I now withdraw my deposit of
$30, placed In your bands at that time, and sub
mit to that gentleman the following propositions:
I will play him at bis convenience, for anyamonnt
of money be may name, from MO to as, 000, tbe
three games which have been in vogue in Ameri
can billiards for the past ten years, viz.: the
Champion's Game, 18xM lines; the 14-lnch balk
line, and cushion caroms; each jrame to be plaved
in a series of from tbree to five nights, as be
may elect. I will go to New York to play
the first game, at cnsblon caroms. 400 points
each night, at any date be may name; be to come
to Chicago within a reasonable time to play the
14-lncb balk line game, 800 points each night.
Aiierwuicn, i win go to new xorc ana piay
him tbe champion's game, thereby giving nlm
two games In his own city. All matches to be
governed by theusual conditions. The amount
of money which Mr. blosson may elect to govern
tbe first contest shall also be the stake for each of
tbe other two matches The winner to take all
receipts and pay all expenses of each match. If
these propositions meet with tbe favor of Mr.
Slosson, he can, by calling at your office, express
his wishes, and in all respects, in conformity with
the above, they will be complied with by, respect
fully yours, Jacob scbaefpeb.
Teenier" Sweeping Cballence.
The challenge of John Teemer, tbe ex-champion
sculler, which appeared in tbis paper on
Friday was an exceedingly sweeping one, and I
dare say it was just as surprising as it was
sweeping. Of course it would net have sur
prised anybody had the challenge been limited
to Qaudaur, but when it included Searle,0'Con
nor or anybody else, doubtless, it was an un
expected affair. However, none of us can fail
to see that Teemer is more anxious to row
Gaudaur than either of the champions now in
England, in this he is wise, and nobody can
blame him for his preference. I think
that all of ns who know anything
at all about sculling will be of
opinion that either Searle or O'Connor is
lengths better than the St. Louis rower. We
don't know exactly what Searle is yet, bat I
venture the opinion that not one man in one
hundred thinks him inferior to Qaudaur. Cer
tainly Teemer has the notion, and be is quite
right in a business way to offer inducements to
Gaudaur that are not offered to Searle and
O'Connor. It is quite true that Teemer some
time age had a bona fide chance to row Qaudaur
a series of three races, and that the chance was
not accepted by Teemer. Tbere was, I am in
formed, ample reason for Teemer's holding
aloof on that occasion. He was not rowing in,
form. But now he and his backers think he is
good enough to row anybody. He may be. On
tnat point i pass no opinion at present, it be
has improved much on his form at Washington
he may have a good chance against O'Connor,
to say nothing abont Searle, and he, therefore,
cannot have a "bad' thing of it against Gaudaur.
However, if things could be so arranged tbat a
local man could contest on local waters for tbe
championship of the world the event would be
a great one, and wonld do much to revive an
interest in professional sculling. If Qaudaur
accepts tbe challenge then it is not likely that
a race between Teemer and either of the other
champions will take place near this city this
year. I am strongly inclined to the belief tbat
Gaudaur will accept, as he is not engaged at
present. Certainly tbe fact must not be lost
sight of that Teemer has many enemies in this
locality; in fact it has already been intimated
that tbe race, or proposed race, looks suspi
cious. Statements of this kind may bo
prompted by personal reasons, but for the
life of me I fail to see anything yet
that would fairly prompt anyone to
throw cold water on the proposed race.
Anybody who knows anything at ail
about sc ailing muBt know that tbere is nothing
to be surprised at in Gaudaur and Teemer row
ing a match, and it is a fact that a gentleman
of high honor, like John A. St. John, thinks
Gaudaur as good as anybody. But even if
Gaudaur does not think himself the equal of
Searle and O'Connor, he may also think that
Teemer is their inferior, even though Teemer
may think different. It is this difference of
opinion that, as a rule, prompts match-making.
At any rate it is sheer nonsenso to talk about
Teemer beating Qaudaur every day in tbe
week. If a statement like tbis were true then
Teemer and O'Connor would have a veritable
picnic against tbe Australians, because Qau
daur gave Beach the toughest race be ever
had. If ex-champions were compelled to quit
rowing because tbey couldn't regain the
championship, we would bave an amusing con
dition of things aquatic.
Abont Peter Jackson.
So far the colored pugilistic champion from
Australia has not made anything like a great
impression during his tour through the East.
Judging from the way he has appeared at
various places ho has not been nnder tbe best
of management. He has met almost the poor
est class of alleged boxers and fighters, and as
a result no opportunity to judge his abilities
has been given. On one or two occasions large
audiences have greeted him, but when men, for
instance, like Billy Baker.of Buffalo, have been
his opponents ne bad better not have appeared
at all. Without doubt Jackson is a good man
and it is a pity that he intends to leave the
country before demonstrating clearly to what
class he belongs. He capnot do tbis in a
i ronnd exhibition. However, I think there
are two t three better pugilists in the country
than JasTkson, but we need not expect a thor
ough test for some time to come: The Sullivan
affair will put tbe damper on prize fighting for a
long time to come. The only way in which pugil
istic merit can be tested is at tbe private clubs,
and I will not be surprised if an Interference in
tbat direction is made. If Jackson goes to En
gland, and his backers put up tbe cash, it seems
certain tbat he will soon be accommodated
with a battle, lie will land there at a time
when many representative sporting men from
Australia will be there, and among tbe lot will
be some cf Slavin's backers. Here will be work
for Jackson at once. There will be Jem Smith
ready for a go, besides others tbat I can men
tion. At any rate tbere will be plenty of men
to test Jackson, because the color line is not
drawn so tight on tbe other side of the Atlantic
as it is here. Vbtsolb.
Wanted Different Tracks.
Ed. Nikirk and E. C. McClelland, accom
panied by their friends, met at this office last
evening to try and arrange a mile race between
these twopeds forU0a side. Nikirk stated
that as his backers resided atPhillipsburg he
was expected to run there. On the other hand,
McClelland and friends naturally claimed that
both runners resided In Pittsburg and that
there ought to be no objection to rnn here.
McClelland' backers, it was stated, were work
ing men and couldn't leave home. Nikirk
finally arranged to communicate with his back
ers with a view ot having the race run here.
The parties will meet next Saturday evening at
this office.
Miller Wanta to Wrestle.
Bob Miller, tbe catch-as-catcb-can wrestler,
called at this office last evenincand stated that
he is willing to wrestle the winner of the Dris-coll-Connors'
match for $100 a side and the gate
receipts, winner to take all. Miller thinks that
if Driscoll is in condition Connors will have his
hands full to throw him.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
The Home Team Again Downs the
Giants.
A YEEI REMARKABLE GAME.
Mickey Welch Knocked Oat and Tim Keefe
Pounded.
BOSTON SEATS THE CLEYELAND&
Chicagos and the Boosters Win Interesting Baseball
News.
For the the third time in succession the
Pittsburg ball team defeated the If ew Yorks
'yesterday. The game was a remarkable one.
Welch was knocked ont of the box. There
were many interesting local games. Boston
increased its lead for first place.
An old-time sport, whose hair has become
silvered in tbe cause of earning an honest
livelihood and watching ball games for
many generations, remarked, on a, street
car coming from yesterday's game:
"That's the leather for me. Now we've
got down to real sound ball playing. Lots
of runs without the science is what I want,
and that's the way baseball playing was
established In this country."
The veteran's remarks were loud enough
to be beard by everybody on the car, and
young and old indorsed tbe notion, and the
general chorus was: 'He's the right kind of a
gay old sport"
It is now a matter of history that yesterday's
game for fun and excitement will rank with the
best of those of long ago. Why. everybody was
wild, and just jumped about as if on a piece of
hot iron. Those who delight in seeing base run
ning saw 25 men cross tbe plate, and the ad
mirers of hitting saw the ball knocked safely
away 32 times.
THEKE WEBE PLENXT OF EBKORS,
13 of them, and they helped to sustain the fun.
And there was any amount of kicking. So that
altogether the 2,500 spectators had about two
hours and a half of lively fun. ,
It was the third time in succession that the
home team showed tbe Qiants where they were
wrong. It took some very great effort to do it,
but the score and summary will reveal the fact
that the home players won the game fairly on
its merits. Banging the ball away at times
when needed is always conducive of run
getting. That was done by tbe home repre
sentatives yesterday, and they, without doubr,
give tbe Commonwealth to understand that
tbey "were the people" and not the great folk
of New York.
Mickey Welcb, with his perennial smile,
commenced to pitch for tbe visitors, ana al
though the impossible feat of knocking his
smile out of existence couldn't be accom
plished, the game little man himself was
thumped out of the box. Tbis was an unex
pected turn of affairs, as the little father of a
big family certainly started in a bread
winner. However, be
WAS FAIBLY KNOCKED OUT,
and O'Day was on the card as extra man.
Bat by argument as to Welch's condItion,Ewlng
succeeded in convincing Powers that Keefe
bad a right to pitch the balance of tbe game.
Beside, It was claimed that O'Daywas not in
condition. The result was Keefe took
Welch's place in the sixth inning, and Sir
Timothy was not much of an improvement.
The home talent were out on a sandy, and it
was matterless who came across their path.
They were out for victims, and Giants of the
best quality had to go down.
The game was in many respects a curious
one. As Gore, who sat in the directors' box
with bis bad leg, said: "Tbis is a honey." At
the very start the visitors took a lead that
made victory look a certainty to them. Whv,
Mutrie smiled a broader smile than ever Welch
dare smile at the end of the second inning.
"WE ABE THE PEOPLE TO-DAY, v
said James, after his famous aggregation had
made five runs. The score then stood a to L in
favor of the visitors, and everybody was satis
fled tbat tbe only fun there was to see then
would be that of tbe big people knocking
Galvla about. However, matters changed
considerably before long, and be
fore the third inning was finished
all the sympathy there was for the Giants van
ished because of an act of Buck Ewings. He,
when men were rnn bases, laid his mask on
tbe home plate, and Miller ran on to it, injur
ing himself so much tbat he bad to retire, and
ounaay iook nis place, rawing was hooted
extremely for this, and he foolishly enough re
turned the compliment to the people who had
no more sense than to do It. As a result
tbere were yells sufficient to turn the hairs of a
young man gray during the balance ot the
game.
ETVTNQ'S MEAN TEICK.
In the sixth inning Ewlng repeated the act
when Beckley was running home, and again
there was pandemonium. The noise and the
din no doubt bad much to -do with tbe wild
pitching of both Keefe and Welcb, and also a
very flagrant error made by Ewlng. However,
the latter had only himself to blame for any
trouble that tbe noise caused his team.
The fielding was bad on both sides; bnt tbe
visitors bad Gore and Richardson absent,
which weakened them considerably. However,
tbe great fault was In the pitcher's box. Had
the pitchers on both sides done better, of
courso there might not have been the errors
made.
To tell tbe story of how the runs were made
in detail would be a very wearisome affair.
The most notable innings were the second and
the fifth. In the second the visitors netted five
unearned runs on the rankest errors that any.
body ever saw. Fields. Beckley, Carroll,
Kuehne all made some of
THE MOST RIDICULOUS MISTAKES.
However, the visitors soon more than evened
matters up in the way of making mistakes.
Hatfield was again short of a success, and
Ward was somewhat shaky.
In the fifth inning, when Welch was knocked
out, five singles and a triple was made off his
delivery. Fields knocking out the triple to right
field. After that Keefe went in and in the
sixth inning two singles, and a fumble by Keefe,
sent in a run. In tbe seventh, after Hanlon
was out, Dunlap and Galvin each made a sin
gle and Sunday got a base on balls, filling the
bases. Carroll then got his base on balls, forc
ing in a run. Rowe then brought two runs in
on single to middle. In the ninth inning
Keefe was touched up for four singles, and
these, with a base on balls and an error by Tier
nan, sent in three runs.
in the seventh inning it looked as if the visi
tors had found Galvin's measure. After Tier
ntfn was out Ewing, Connor and Ward each
made corking singles, which earned two runs.
In tbe eighth, after Whitney was out, Keefe
made a three-bagger and scored on Tiernan's
single. Following is the score:

St. Louis, August 17. Tbe Browns defeated

nessed it. Chamberlain was at his best, and the
Athletics were led like sheep to the slaughter.
Four scattering hits were all they could get off
his wonderfully effective work. The game was
brilliantly contested, and marvelous fielding
was tbe order of the day. Curt Welch made
two wonderful running catches, one of which
he caught with his left hand a few inches from
tbe ground back of second base. Both were
accompanied by his usual ground and lofty
tumbling act. Jack Boyle caught a magnifi
cent game, and threw to bases with marvelous
accuracy. Weyhlng, Cross and Blerbauer

effective work. Score:

Hooslera 'Hope to Strenstben Tbelr Club by
Signing; Andrews.
ISFXCIAt. TXLXOOAK TO TUX DISPATCH.!,
iNDiANAroLis, August 17. The attendance
upon the last series ot the Indianapolis-Washington
games, as well as the results of the play
ing; warned the directors of the absolute neces
sity of strengthening the nine, and Andrews,
of Philadelphia, has been signed.
He will join the club in this city
on Monday. Andrews, although drawing
salary, has not played this season,
at least, only in few games, but when In prac
tice he is a clever base runner and a good field
er. He is also a fairly good batter. It Is under
stood that the directory .contemplate trying
Sullivan on first, laying Hines off while tbe lat
ter continues a fairly good batter. His hearing
militates against him for infield work, besides
he is not quick enough, and, as the papers
generally say, tbe loss of the Philadel
phia game of Thursday is largely due to bis
failure to stop Thompson's grounder, which
would never have gotten by a quick first base
man. George Meyers, one of the surplus
catchers, has been notified of bis release. He
has been identified with the club ever since it
entered tbe League, but his release has been
expected, as his work this season has not been
good, ami bis throwing to bases particularly
weak. Meyers, however, is an earnest player,
conscientious in bis work, and a man of excel
lent habits. He injured bis arm early in tbe
season. He is a good general player, and in an
emergency he can fill any fielder's position, and
do It well.
The need of another pitcher is severely felt,
but good pitchers are not In the market and
there is scarcely a club but what is similarly
conditioned. Borne time ago the local directory
negotiated for Clarke, of Omaha, offering
$3,000, Dut it was refused. Since then Clarke
has dropped in his pitching qualities, and bis
purchase now might not be difficult, but Indi
anapolis doesn't want him. There Is also eossip
in effect that negotiations are "on" for Mc-
S aery, of the Syracuse Stars, for first base,
e is a strong batter and a good player.
Beer guzzling is said to be the bane ot certain
players in the Philadelphia clnb and to account
for much of their indifferent work yesterday.
For instance, when the game was called by
reason of the rain, a gentleman reports, three
pof tbem skipped off the grounds and ran to tbe
nearest saioon, ana were sumcienuy prompt to
return before Wright came to the bus, so that
their absence was not noticed.

Tbe New Oaklands defeated the Climax, of
Allegheny, in a very one-sided contest at East
Liberty ball park for $100 a side yesterday. The
attendance was very good. Good, the late
catcher of the Riverside Greys, played his
first game with the New Oaklands, and gave
Anderson very good support. Anderson had
the Climax at his mercy, striking ont seven
men and giving them but four hits. Anderson
and Good fully demonstrated the fact that
they are one of tbe finest batteries in the Coun

reported to have lost 41150,000.
Ill CaBLX TO TUX DISPATCH.!
LONDOX, August 17. Copyright. The
two champion scullers are hard at it on the
Thames. Searle, the Australian, has got
rid of a boil which troubled him, and is
now doing as much work as ever. O'Con
nor has been doing some smart spins, in
which he has shown to advantage, Mr. J.
Bogers, of Toronto, his backer, being there
to watch the work. Cold, rainy days have
prevailed for some weeks past, and the
practice of the scullers has been carried on
under depressing conditions, but there is at
last a prospect of a little sunshine, the first of
any account since last June.
Slavln, the Australian pugilist who defeated
Jackson, has just made a match with Jem
Smith to fight under the British prize ring
rules for the English championship and 10.000.
Slavln is a finely built man and is of superior
intelligence to tho ordinary run of pugilists.
He is going to America sooner or later to try

New Tork Gamblers Almost Rnln a Promi
nent Theatrical Man.
rSFZCIAI.TXI.lto; BAM TO TUB DlKTATCn.l
New Yore. August 17. The talk of the big
gamblers of the town for a fortnight past has
been the extraordinary luck that the backers
of tbe Central Club recently had in tearing a
frightful hole in the ample bank account of
one of tbelr best known and most liberal pa
trons. Tbe Central Club is the cor
porate name of the organization of
wealthy gamblers who run the famous house at
818 Broadway, a resort that has maintained
games of hazard for over a quarter of a century
at this self-same headquarters, no matter how
stringent have been the police embargoes on
gambling. The story of the gamblers Is of the
winning of a fortune of nearly $150,000 in cold
cash from an actor who has been conspicuous
In the profession for over a decade for the Im
mense profits and unique attractiveness of his
entertainment. The gamblers don't give bis
name away to outsiders, but his identity has
become known to lots of actors from tbe wal
loping big sums that he habitually risked at
cards.
The story is that the entire profits of last
season's work have been swept away in two
short months bucking the tiger, and that the
victim was left practically penniless. The
backers of 81S Broadway got most of this
wealth, but a part of ft, it is asserted, was cap
tured by the professional players of what is
known as "a quiet little game, exclusively for
gentlemen," run nightly in Irving place, not a
thousand miles from the Academy of Music
The actor who suffered this annihi
lation of bis means had long enjoyed a
high reputation for skill at cards, and also
for the remarkably successful way in which he
picked out winning horses at tho races. He
was credited by his friends, in fact, with be
ingo adept at cards that it was regarded as
impossible for him to be crippled at the game
or to stack up against a crooked game without
discovering the crookedness in time. This
fact made the news of his sweeping loss a
staggering blow to his friends, who confessed
their inability to account for it. The actor's
rebuffs forced him to leave the city temporari
ly, it is said, and to abandon his pastime of
betting at the race tracks where he has long
been a familiar figure.

POLICE PREVENT A FIGHT.
The Battle Between Joe Lannon and Peter
Jackson Stopped.
rsrsciix tzlxobam to tm disfatch.i
Bostok, August 17. Peter Jackson and Joe
Lannon met in the ring at Oak Island to-day,
but there was no fighting. The police wouldn't
have it- Parson Davies used all the eloquence
which he could command, and Tom O'Bourke,
representing the Bay State Athletic Clnb,
backed him in the assertion that the contest
was for scientific points only, but arguments
were useless. The Chief of Police was ob
gladly stlnate.
Thcro were 3,500peoplo in the lnclosure when
the hour for the contest arrived. It was finally
arranged tbat tbe men shonld enter the ring In
fighting trim and punch the bag for the edifi
cation of the crowd. The Australian was given
a cordial reception. Parson Davies introduced
him and made a little speech explaining tbe
cause of the prevention of the fight. He al
luded to the fact that Sullivan bad just been
sentenced to a year's Imprisonment, and some
body called out: "And you take pleasure In an
nouncing, don't your" That made the Parson
mad, and be retorted: "No, sir, I am sorry to
be the bearer of that bad news, and you are a
dirty whelp to stand in a crowd and make any
such insinuation. John L. Bnlllvan Is the cham
pion pugilist of the world, and I freely and

A HEW MUSlCAIi USION.
A Number of Professional Hen Organizing
la tae K of L.
A new K. of tu 'union is being formed by
the professional.smusifians of Allegheny
county. The society is to be in the nature
of a protective onion, and will be incorpo
rated with the Knights of Labor. The ob
ject is an offset against the present union;
also, to protect professional musicians.
Some of the most prominent musical men
of the city are in sympathy with the new
society; among others, John vogel, Phillip
Weiss and Carl Better. J. S. Jordon has
been appointed Acting Secretary..
The union that is .fighting the Great West

a formidable rival.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
A NOTABLEBUS!NESS.
Established and Conducted on Humane
and Scientific Principles.
A Small Fortune Invested in Instru
ments and Mechanical Appli
ance for Alleviating
Human Suffering.
About six years ago Dr. Logan came ta Pitts
burg and established an institution for the
more skillful treatment of all chronic medical
and surgical diseases. Beginning in a modest
manner he soon made his influence felt and by
using tbe papers to report tbe results of some
of bis cases, in a short time bis name became a
household word. Three years ago Dr. Byers, a
graduate of the Jefferson Medical College, of
Philadelphia, in 1872, and a former interne of
the Pennsylvania and Blockley Hospitals; of
tbat city, was admitted into partnership, tbs
r?rm being known asDrs. Logan & Byers. At
this time they so increased their facilities for
treatment that a small fortune was invested
in instruments and mechanical appliances.
Last April Dr. Logan returned to New York
and Dr. Byers succeeded to the entire business.
That he has established himself thnron.h1v In
tbe confidence and affections of the old as well
as new patients goes without saying; He is
courteous, painstaking and conscientious, and
a great many ot the best results Obtained dur
ing tbe past few years are due to his careful
and considerate treatment. Dr. Byers comes
of a medical family, his father being a retired
physician and druggist and his brothers and
other relatives either physicians or engaged in
the drug bnsiness. He has not been absent
from his work a single day during the pase
tbree years and deserves tbe success tbat bard
labor and conscientious endeavor brings. He
has the facilities for treating every disease
known to medicine and surgery.
One room alone, the Inhalarium. Is devoted
to the treatment of diseases of the air pas
sages, and Is fitted with all tbe latest improved'
apparatus, notably the Besfleu Apparatus
for treatment of catarrh and sore throat, and
the Pheumatto Cabinet, for the cure of
consumption, asthma, bronchitis, etc. Another
room is devoted to surgery, and contains all
necessary surcical Instruments and mechanical
appliances. The Saybe Tbipod, for hanging1
patients while applying the plaster parts jacket
for curvatures of tbe spine; tbe jury mast, etc.;
Electric Batteries for treating spina?, ner
vous, paralytic and old rheumatic affections,
etc.; the Tonsilitome, for removal of en
larged tonsils; a case full of Trusses for her
nia or rupture of any kind or degree; the
Pacqcelin Cauteby, for searing the back in
diseases of the spine.
Following is the testimonial of Mrs. Perry.
who was treated and prescribed lor by Dri
Byers exclusively:
Mrs. M. Ferry, 101 Tuitin SU, Citjf.
"For over five years I bave suffered from
very severe headaches and such severe pains
over the eyes tbat I could not give attention to
my household duties. I could get air through
neither of my nostrils, had to breathe through
my moutn. sleep witn my moutn open ana
snorea so touaiy mat none coma Sleep in mi
rooms adjoining mine without being disturbed
Food I could not retain on my stomach, espe
iallv sunDer: this I had to vomit as soon r
' eaten. I also bad very severe constipation c
tne Doweis. Amsaggravateamy neaaacnesan
tended very much to the confusion of my idea.
Tbe doctors whom I consulted said my troubl
was neuralgia. Though they treated me faitl
fully and did the best tbey could, tbe head
aches, the pain over my eyes, the obstruction
of the nostrils, the sickness of the stomach and
constipation continued.
OATABRH.
i'Wellthis was my condition when on or
about the middle of May, at the request of
friends, 1 consulted Drs. Logan & Bjers. The
doctors, after carefully inquiring into my case,
said my chief trouble arose from tumors in my
nose, caused by chronic catarrh: that this,
caused the pain over my eyes, caused my bead
aches and so disturbed my nervous system that
it led to constipation of the bowels and irrita
tion of tbe stomach. Though they held out no
promise of cure, they told me they believed
they could do me much good. I then placed
myself under their treatment, took their medi
cines as directed and visited their offices when
ever they had requested. Enough to say that I
soon felt a decided improvement. They re
moved the tumors from my nostrils, relieved
me of the pain above my eyes and over tho
head. I have not vomited since I took the first
dose of their medicine; they have cured me of
the constipation of the bowels, and at the end
of two months completely cured me of all my
former symptoms. I don't snore, and I consid
er myself in as good health as any woman of
my years could expect to be."
Wednesday and Thursday forenoon are de
voted to free treatment for the worjhy poor of
the city, who are expected to pay a moderate
price for needed medicines. Wednesday, med
ical diseases; Thursday, surgical diseases.
