TO MEET BIG FOES,
The Home Team Starts on Its
Last Eastern Trip.
TO TACKLE THE CHAMPIONS
Eamors AbouL Releases of Some
Local Ball Players.
COLUMBUS AGAIN BEATS ST. LOUIS.
Gossip About tlio Prospect and Work of
the CleTeland Club.
GENERAL SP0KTLG HEWS OF THE DAT
Tne Lome ball team left yesterday for New
i'ork, where they plav two games to-day.
There are significant rumors aDout releasing
.local players. Columbus again beat St
Louis, aifd Mark Baldwin pitched. New
plaers haTe been secured for Louisville
and more are to be bought.
The home team left yesterday morning
for its last trip East this season. There is
considerable hope centered in the team, bnt
whether or not they realize even 75 per cent
of these hopes is very problematical. It is
l.ncu n as a fact in the baseball world that
no club in the country is more liable to do
extraordinarily good work or extraordina
rily bad work than the Pittsburgs. It is,
therefore,a question as to whether or not the
team on its las Eastern trip will carry out
one of these qualities that is, either the
good or bad quality.
Manager Hanlon left the city yesterday
morning full of confidence. He urged good
reasons why recent games have been lost,
and he pointed out just as good why the local
team should win games in the East. It is a
fact that to-day the most interest wilt be cen
tered in the visit of the Pittsburgs to New York.
MtJTRlE'S ESTIMATION.
The last time the latter team were here they
were beaten completely, and it is also a fact
that Manager Mutrie has the highest estima
tion of the dangerous elements of the Pitts
burg team. This means that Pittsburg has a
chance to ruin the prospects of the Giants for
the pennant. The chance is so great that nn
douutcdly all the patrons of the New York
clnb will be looking with anxiety on the two
rames of to-day.
Yesterday morning Manager Hanlon had not
made up his mind as to who would pitch to
day's games. It is likely, howeTer, that Morris
and fetaley will he the pitchers. It ina also be
taken as tolerably certain thatKeefe will pitch
in one of the New York games to-day and that
Crane or O'Day will pitch the other game. At
any rate. Manager Mutrie has always said that
if he got through all right with Pittsburg a
great burden was removed from his mind. One
interesting feature of the matter is the fact
that Pittsburg has always played an important
part in mining the hopes of aspirants for
League pennant honors.
The club will be away from home until Mon
day, September 16. when the boys will tackle
the Clevelands. After playing three games the
team will go to Indianapolis for three more
games, and then return home to stay. Then
will commence the real struggle for positions.
M.AYEBS TO BE EELEASED.
There are many rumors afloat as to players
who are to be released. It is officially stated
that no more players will be released this sea
ton except the price is put up. Certainly one
or two players are for sale if bids are worthy of
notice. A gentleman directly interested in the
club said last evening- "I know that both Mr.
Nimick and Mr. Scandrett have made up their
mind to release at least two men as soon as the
price is offered. They are good men. and
1 don't want to give away secrets
by saving that one is a fielder
and the other a pitcher or anything like that.
All I sav Is that the price will get two very good
men. These men can be had before the season
ends, and after the season closes believe me, if
certain deals can be consummated, more than
two or three of what is termed the "old guard'
will be disposed of. It now seems certain that
the club financially will quit even, and if that is
accomplished joucan rest assured that more
money will be put into it for next year. I know
this tor certain. All that is required now 19 to
make accounts balance evenly, and if that is
done some old players will be let go and better
ones bought."
THE BABIES HEARD FROM.
A Few Words by Foster Abont Their Slanr
Defeats.
ISrECIAL COnBESrONDEiiCE OF T1IE D1SF1TCH.3
Cleveland. 0., August 3L Did an one
ever see such a contrary club as this organiza
tion of ours? A week ago we were all lament
ing the lack of batting ability on the part of
our infants, and noting the loss or games where
a base hit at the right time wonld have turned
the tide of defeat away from Cleveland and
saved many games for the youngsters. Now,
however, it is all the other way. The home
club is hitting the ball hard and opportunely,
but letting games slip up by a disastrous error
at the critical points of the game, something
they have not done before during the season.
All three of the close Chicago contests the
past week should havo been 'Cleveland's but
for bad errors. The Chicago pitchers were
batted hard and viciously, and tlie fusillade
was kept up on Getzem when he tarted in to
pitch Thursday's game. If the iufants keep up
this hitting streak they are liable to make it
warm for the clubs that are close to them.
The local directors have about decided to go
out in the wilderness and hunt up one or two
strong, hard-hitting fielders. They have de
layed the matter hoping that the present men
would come around, as it seems almost a shame
to break into such a beautiful fielding team, as
this year's organization has proven to be.
There are two places, bowel er. that can stand
strengthening and a move will be made in that
direction.
With the Ios of so many games in succession
the lots of attendance has increased in equal
proportion, and vet the home club has bwn
t
Having as iretty, scientinc and hard game of
iall as it evi did. The cranks, or rather the
poolroom sharks, are sore and very ugly be-
aoJE iney aave iosi money, wnicn serves tnem
right in one sense. Iot satisfied with drawing
their little patronage tbey have been guilty ot
circulating the most contemptible kind of
tones about both the players and the manage
ment Those stories are swallowed by the
more credulous of the .better class and they
won't go to the ball gamos, either. Could the
home clnb have won its 50 games and lost its SO
games alternately interest would be at fever
beat to-day.
There are a great many people and baseball
writers m ether cities who have often taken
occasion to refer to Cleveland's wonderful win
ning spurt. WelL now, there wasn't so much
of acpurton the Cle elands' part. The club
wasn't playing a bit better than it is now. Its
success was due, as anyone who stops to reason
ont the matter must agree, mere to meeting
the other clubs when they w ere weak and not
playing in the best of trim than totbe fact
that Cleveland at that time was playing phe
nomenal ball. That spring trip of the Cleve
lands to Hot Springs, Ark., and the fact that
all the members of the club entered the race in
excellent condition, had more to do with the
club's success than the management everimag
agined when they requested the club to assem
ble there.
Faatz is still suffering with his split finger,
which reopened on him at Indianapolis, and
Twitchell has been taking a few days layoff
owing to a bad injury on one finger.
Gilks limps around in left field, having never
recovered from a strain he got on the New
York grounds.
The outfield work of McAIeer and Radford
during the past week has been so exceptionally
brilliant that especial attention ..ought to be
called to it Its equal was never seen on the
local grounds, and McAIeer has made some
catches that it is doubtful whether any player
in the baseball profession could equal.

Louisville, September L When the Louis
ville club left for its Eastern trip It was tho in
tention of the management to make additions
whenever such might prove of benefit to
the dab, and since the clnb has left Louisville
Jast tour new sea have been added to the sal.
ary list. Flanagan was the first to be signed,
and the old Athletic first baseman is expected
to join the club every day. He will be played
on the initial bag, and Stratton, who of late
has developed into such a good outfielder, will
guard Pete Brow ning's territory in left Ryan
and McDermot compose the new battery which
the management has had on the string fprthe
past two weeks, and their signatures have at
last been secured to a contract They will
join the club at Columbus to-morrow. Little
is known of the two men, although they come
highly recommended by Manager Chapman.
The latest addition to be made is young
Clarkson, of the Tri-Stato league. He is a
brother -of Boston's great pitcher, and if he
possesse half of thelatter's ability as a ball
player, Louisville will be satisfied with him.
The voung man made his debut in the Txi-State
league, and of course his work n the few
games there is not to be taken as a criterion.
He i said to possess all the requisites of a good
ball plaver, and the management think that
with proper training he will develop into a
great pitcher. He tooK part in but 11 games with
Lima last season, and had a batting average of
162. As a pitcher he ranked low, but his im
provement has been rapid this season. It is
probable that he will pitch his first game
against Columbus.
The management does not intend to stop at
this, but all available material will be secured
and the best players selected. A new outfielder
will likely be signed in a few days, and he is
said to be a good one. Pe'.e drowning has
been suspended for the season.

But Be Didn't Wish to Have to Make Good
His Son's Peculations.
A EOMANCB OP A BANKRUPTCY COURT
Becalled by the Bamored Death of One of the Prin
cipal Actors.
The reported death of a man named John
Hester in Michigan recalls an interesting
romance of the Bankrupty Court of the
Northern District of Ohio, enacted several
years ago.
SriCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Cleveland, O., September 1. The rec
ords of the Bankruptcy Court for the North
ern district ot Ohio bear the petition in
bankruptcy of one John Hester. The Hes
ter case, as it was called, was the most inter
esting and romantic one ever brought before
the court of this district. The story, as re
lated to the writer by the Begister of the
court, is as follows:
John Hester was a well-to-do fanner of
Huron county, O. He had one pretty
daughter, who was sent toOberlin to school.
There she attracted the attention of an un
tamed youth from Michigan, whose wealthy
parents had intrusted him to the reformatory
energies of Oberlin, and no sooner had the
youth declared his sudden passion than,
without waiting for the sanction of the
Michigan parents, she hied to her father's
home in Huron county and married him on
the instant.
ALL WAS TOBGIVEX.
The young man's parents were at first ob
durate, but it was not long until the young
people were invited to dwell under their
roof. All went smoothly for some time.
The young husband seemed a miracle of re
formatory zeal, and a place of trust in his
father's bank was given him. But soon he
began again to find vice attractive, and one
morning while the wife had gone on a visi
to her happy childhood's home in Huron
county, he was missing from the bank, and
so was 570,000 of the bank's money.
, It was supposed that voung Hester had
gone to his wile, but that young woman and
the Hesters professed such entire ignorance
of his whereabouts and such grief over his
sins that the detectives were led into other
paths of inquiry. After several weeks of
iruitless search, however, a clew was given
them which led to the suspicion that the
fugitive was making efforts to have his wife
join him.
CAUGHT AS IN A TEAP.
On a certain day the officers were in
Mansfield, where they suspected an appoint
ment had been made. Sure enough, Hester
and his daughter alighted from an omnibus
before the hotel, and in a few minutes a
single carriage drove up with one man in it.
The young woman made a rush lor the car
riage, but the officers were there first Con
siderable resistance to arrest was offered by
the young fellow, who was armed, and in
the excitement John Hester walked rapidly
out into the open country with .a portman
teau in his hand. It was ascertained after
ward that Hester, who was then an old man,
walked, in that day and part of the next,
the entire distance that lay between Mans
field and his home in Huron county, about
40 miles.
The young man was taken back to Michi
gan, tried and sentenced to a term of years
in the penitentiary, but
NO TKACE OF THE MONET
was found. "Within a few months of his
imprisonment he escaped from the peniten
tiary with a horsethiei, who introduced him
into his line of business and into genteel
house-breaking. Alter a few weeks of part
nership this precious pair of scamps, while
hiding one night in a swamp, fell into a dis
pute over a valuable watch which belonged
to neither. In the struggle which followed
the voung Michigander was stabbed to the
heart, and in the morning his body was
fonnd by the officers in the swamp. The
horsethief was afterward traced by means of
the watch, and was tried and hanged for
murder.
In the meantime warrants for John Hes
ter's arrest were sworn out, but a trial for
complicity in the robbery proved nothing
against him, and he was released. Follow
ing this, suit was begun by the depositors ot
the bank against Hester to recover their
property.
A PECULIAE BANKEUPT.
It was at this juncture, and to save him
self from liability, that Hester filed his pe
tition in bankruptcy. Investigation by the
Segister of the Court showed that he was
not justified in bankrutitcy, and the
petition was not granted. The suit
went on. A servant testified that
upon entering unexpectedly the bed
chamber of the Hesters she had found the
old man and his wile engaged in counting
"great piles of money that completely cov
ered the bed." On being urged to give a
closer estimate of the amount ot money, she
said that there was "enough of it to fill a
bushel measure."
The suit was closed bv Hester's being held
for the entire sum of $70,000. He sold his
farms in Huron county, ostensibly to pay
the judgments, which he never wearied in
declaring to be most unjust. After paying
the money over to the authorities he dis
appeared utterly from sight Rumor has it
that he died recently in the upper lake re
gions of Michigan, but is silent as to what
became of his daughter.
EXIT BOBTAIL STEEET CARS.
The FasscnEcr no Longer Forced to bo
His Own Conductor. .
rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
New York, September 1. The career
of the bobtail car is at an end. There was
not a horse car running on New York
streets to-day which did not carry a con
ductor to collect the fares of the passengers.
Some of the crosstown lines are still rnnning
the old jigger cars, but each and every
one has a conductor attached to the
stump of the bobtail. An ordinance
passed by the Board of Aldermen
on June 26 ordered every car to be pro
vided with conductors on September 1.
The Christopher and Tenth Street Railroad
asked some time ago for an extension of time
to November 1, when their new cars are to
be ready. The Aldermen agreed to give
thio extension, but the Mayor vetoed it.
All the roads were accordingly put on the
same level.
Over 150 men went to work to-day for th6
first time on the varions roads. They re
ceive from $2 to $1 0 a, day, according to
the job. All the lines will probably in
time have commodious new cars rnnning,
as the example of the Twenty-third street
and Seventh avenue roads in replacing the
small, narrow jiggers with the expensive
cars now in use has proved preferable.

The Exposition Marineer Will Have Things
la Shape Dy and By Tbo Public Asked
to be Indulgent for Awhile.
Manager Johnston said last night:
"The Exposition will open its doors to the
public on Wednesday evening next, and in
view of that fact it is in order to make a
few suggestions to the thousands of visitors
who will improve the opportunity of in
specting the building and exhibits on the
opening night. First tbey must realize the
herculean task the directors assumed when
they attempted to erect the buildings, from
the very inception of the enterprise. Diffi
culties have been surmounted which would
have deterred less determined men from un
dertaking the task. The financial problem
was an unceasing cause of anxiety and hin
drance to the speedy and successful comple
tion of the work. The terrible Johnstown
disaster still further complicated matters,
and made seemingly hopeless the task of
raising the money necessary to pay
for labor and materials. ,. Subscrip
tions to the treasury of the
society came in painfully slow, and com
pelled the managers to be careful in award
ing contracts, for fear of incurring liabilities
which they wonld be unable to liquidate,
and contractors were naturally cautious in
assuming responsibility until they received
assurances that bills when due would be
nroniDtlv naid. To a great extent the en
terprise was kept alive on faith, with the
hope that in some way all would come out
satisfactorily in the end.
"The present condition of the affairs ofthe
Exposition is certainly a feather in the caps
ofthe directors.
"The managers do not desire to follow in
the footsteps ol anyone. It is their aim to
make the Pittsburg Exposition unequaled
in this country. This can only be ac
complished by generous support on the part
of the public. The press of the city, with
out an exception, has done its part notfty in
the past and will continue to do so in the
future, I feel assured.
"The price of admission has been placed
upon a popular basis. No person is too
poor but what he can afford to visit the in
stitution at least once during the 40 days it
is open, and thousands can, and I am sure
will, visit it many times. An enterprise of
this kind does not impoverish a community,
but is of great financial value to it.
"Many exhibits will not be fully ready on
the opening night. It is possible, and
indeed probable, that the working force in
the various departments, especially at the
ticket offices and turnstiles, will not work
as smoothly as the management desires.
That is not to be wondered at The duties
to be performed by the ticket sellers, door
keepers and other employes are, at the out
set, somewhat unfamiliar to them. They
will do all that it is possible to do, and the
directors will be on hand to assist in every
possible manner. After the first day or so
the machinery in all departments will be
thoroughly oiled and work perfectly and
harmoniously. If the public will shut
their eyes to the imperfections and endeavor
to look up the many deserving good points,
everything will soon be adjusted to their
entire satisfaction."
