.L BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAI
V
Once more the Pittsburg club was on the
side of the vanquished yesterday. The
New Yorks beat them badly. Indianapolis
defeated the Bostons and the fact caused
excitement in New York. A son of a Con
gressman killed an umpire with a baseball
bat. There were some exciting Association
games.
rtrECIAL TTLEGKAM TO TUB SISFATCB.1
jNew Youk, September 4. "On for the
flag" is the New Yorks watchword, while
Ifjauager Mutrie throws out his chest and
rdbarks: -'Who are the people?" The two
defeats of the Bostons have placed the New
' Yorks in the heat of the battle, and since
to-day's game all of the players, even those
who were somewhat faint-hearted ten days
$go, are confident that the champions will
pull out in the lead, with games to spare.
They will pay no attention to the spare
games, however. What they want now are
victories, and they are playing for them.
The work of the team at the present time is
fully equal to that of last season, both at the
i bat and in the field. In addition they have four
good pitchers, and if the team will continue to
give 0"Day and Crane the support that they
gave them yesterday and to-day there is no
reason why these two men cannot win about
every game they pitch.
on! 'twas east.
To-day's game was an easy one forthe home
team and they won almost as they pleased. It
was with the bat that the victory was scored,
as the New Yorks earned six of their seven
runs. The seventh run was not earned owing
to a base on bails helping a runner around.
The only error by the visitors, a wild throw by
Carroll, did no damage. The Pittsburg men
led the fielding by one error to two. The home
team's misplays. both by Ward, were costly, as
they netted two runs, ihe only rnns scored by
the visitors. At times the play was brilliant,
and altogether it was a model game to look at.
Fields cut off a hit from O'Rourke's bat in the
second inning by a masterly running catch,
while White made a remarkable one hand stop
of a grounder from Ward's bat that cut off at
least one run. These were only two of the
features of the work of the visitors. Dunlap
played in his old place, at second, and
DID HIMSELF PBOTJD.
There is no doubt that the Smoky City lads
were after the game to-day, and would have got
it had not the borne team hit the ball, while
they were almost helpless in this direction.
O'Day was in the box for the home team, with
Brown behind the bat, Ewlng still being unable
to play. When the game began there was a
doubtful feeling as to the champions winning
wiiu mis uatiery, out me, manner in wmcu J
O'Dav slew the visitors was an agreeable suyi
prise. Hans: has pitched a number of ga.Ties
for the New Yorks, many of which-thSould have
been victories instead of defeXs, but there was
no doubt about tM-day's jaie, for the visitors
were wholly at his mercy. Six scattered bits
Were a'il ihey could get, and the only hit that
was of any use to them was inade by Dnnlap
after Ward had placed two men on bases by his
errors. As for
ilOP-UIS, THE MONKEY FITCHEB,
as he is called, be was pie for the home team,
as they slogged the ball about in good shape.
Richardson led in the batting with four singles
out of five times at the bat, while big Bill
Brown was dosn behind him with two singles
and i. double. The leading features of the New
Yorks field play were a clever catch by Gore
and a one-banded catch of a line hit by Connor.
The home team did not bat in streaks as they
sometimes do, but hit right along without a
break. In only one inning did they fail to make
a hit.
The New Yorks slid right into the lead at the
start off. Gore, the first man up, hit the first
ball pitched to the left center field for two
bases, and got third on Tiernan's sacrifice fly
to Kuehne. Brown nearly knocked Kuehne
silly with a grounder to center, on which he got
two bases and Gore scored. Brown got to third
on Connor's out from Roue to first. The inn
ing then came to a sudden close by White's
making a phenomenal one-handed stop of
Ward's grounder, throwing the runner out at
first. The visitors got in two hits In their first
after two were out, but a
POOK ATTEMPT TO STEAL
second by Carroll ended the inning. Nothing
occurred in the second, but in the New York's
third they got on the ball again to the extent
of an earned run. After Gore had been thrown
out at first by Rowe, Tiernan sent a daisy cutter
donn the right foul line and got three bases on
it. Brown singled to le'f t and Mike came home.
Connor struck out, and Ward fiied to Kuehne.
The home team added two more runs to their
score in the fifth by good hitting. O'Day
opened the inning with a single to right, went
to second on a passed ball, and to third on a
wild throw by Carroll. Gore fiied to Miller,
Tiernan hit to center for two bases, and O'Day
came home. Brown filed to White, and Connor
scored Tiernan with a hit to right center. Ward
again ended the inning with a fly to Dnnlap.
The sixth inning produced another run for the
New i orks. Richardson opened with a bit to
left, and O'Ronrke got a base on balls. Sacri
fices by Whitney and O'Day scored Richard
son, and Crane went out at first from White.
At this point the news came that the Indianapolis-Boston
game stood G to 2 in favor f the
Indians, and the crowd felt lighly elated.
THEY SCOKED AT LAST.
Errors by Ward enabled the visitors to break
the ice in the seventh. Johnny fumbled
grounders by White and Miller, and .Dunlap
followed with a two-baser to right, on which
White scored and Miller got to third. He
afterward scored on a sacrifice by Morris from
Richardson to first. Kuehne forced Dunlap at
the plate from Connor to Brown, and Richard
son threw Rowe out at first. Singles bv Ward,
Richardson and O'Ronrke in the eighth gave
the home club another run. The champions
,"went right on scoring in the ninth and added
another run to their credit. Morns threw Tier
nan out at first. Brown hit to center for a base
and stole second on a passed balL Connor fol
lowed with a double to right field, scoring
Brown. Ward fiied to Kuehne and Richardson
filed to Dunlap. This ended the run getting on
both sides, for the visitors went out in their
half of the inuing in order. Score:

THE BOSS MANAGER MAD.
He Assails the Umpire. Captain Comiskey
nnd Pitcher Klne.
Baltimore, September 4. The St. Louis
players are badly demoralized by the resnlt of
yesterday's game, and are despondent. Cap
tain Comiskfy is sore, but cannot blame the
umpires, as there was not a close decision in
the game. Comiskey reiterates the charge that
Ferguson recently gave Colnmbns the best of
it. He refnsed to make any detailed state
ment, but contented himself with shaking his
head and keeping mum.
President Yonder Ahe was more communi
cative. He said: "It is time this Brooklyn man
(meaning Byrne) should be sat
upon. He has been governing the
umpires as he pleased, and it is
getting to be too apparent. I will bring the
Ferguson business ud at the next meeting.
Why, the tying run at Columbus was made
through Orr pretending that be hid reached
Cratwhen another man bad batted the ball to
Robinson. Orr had been coaching, and when
the ball was hit ran to first and fooled the
fielder. I tell you I am determined to win the
championship. I. have plenty of money and
will put it out. I have shipped Jim Davis. I
have no need of his services, as Latham has
written me a letter promising to play winning
This was said to the reporter before the
game, and afterward Von der Ahe told Comis
key and King they couldn't play and gave the
whole team a roast.

Gaudanr Arrives at ni Training Qnnrters
nnd Itowa Over the Course.
McKeesport, September 4. Al Hamm and
Jake Gaudaur brought their boats here from
Pittsburg to-day and located at the Reynolds
boathouse, below Seventh avenue, on the
Youghiogheny river. Teemer is located a half
mile above them. Gaudaur rowed over the
course this afternoon for the first time. His
training will consist of a turn up and down the
course twice a day, besides his walk. The pow
erful oarsman and his handsome trainer are
stopping at the National Hotel and are the ob
jects for the eyes of many curious people. St.
John will arrive here this day a week. Gaudaur
says that he will give Teemer a race at St.
Louis after the race of Friday a week,
whether he wins or not and says positively that
he will defeat Teemer and could do so now,
but those who size np Teemer and Gaudaur do
not speak that way. They make it a study to
look for bets and say nothing. It looks as
though St. Louis money will not go a begging,
and in face of Oaudaur's confidence and
the fact that Teemer has a mighty able oars
man to row against. Teemer knows it as well as
others do, and when the day comes around the
McKeesport oarsman will show the ablest.
Louis oarsman that it will require terrible
hard efforts on the part of Jako to defeat him.
The AlcKeesporteris as confident that be will
defeat his opponent as Jake is that he will de
feat Teemer.

SiiEErSHEAD Bat, September i. A
cloud of dust, a flash of silk, the shouts of
20,000 persons, and Chaos, son of Rayon
d'Or and Lillie K, had won $60,000 for his
owner, W. L. Scott. He was ridden, by
Bay, an English lad, who has but recently
been reinstated. He was ruled off at Mon
mouth Park for foul riding.
The favorjte, St. Carlo, was a good sec
ond, in fact, many thought he had won, as
the finish could not be seen, as It was opposite
the club house, and it was only when "No. 19"
went up that the crowd was sure as to the win
ner. Then winners and losers alike joined in
the cheers lor the victor and his lucky pilot,
who made his way back to the jockeys' room,
surrounded by his friends and fellow jockeys,
all eager to extend their warmest congratula
tions. The details of the race were as follows:
A BEAUTIFUL SHOW.
The 23 starters assembled in the paddock be
fore the race and received finishing touches be
fore at least a thousand anxious bettors. When
the last bell sounded out they came' and in
single file paraded by the stand.making a beau
tiful show, Marie Lovell was the leader. Thev
were soon at the post and the crowd was still
in an anxious suspense. Then a murmur and a
cry ot "They're off" brought all to their feet,
but it was only a break and back they went.
Again they broke, and then down went the flag
to a beautiful start.

At the end of the first furlong the lot were
stretched across almost lined. If there was
any leader it wa3 Marie Lovell, who was a neck
before Eberlee and Sinaloa. Sam Boxey,
Chaos, St. Carlo and Padishah were running
next. At the bead of the home stretch Chaos
had a lead of two lengths. Eberlee and St.
Carlo were next. By this time half the field
was whipping, but it helped them none, as the
leader still held his own. As they came to the
regular judge's stand, St, Carlo and Sinaloa be
tran to close up. but the distance was too short.

The crowd was tremendous. As early as 12
o'clock race-goers began to arrive, and from

ISFICIAL TELEORAM TO THX DISPATCH.!
Springfield, Mass., September 5. The
second day's programme for the grand circuit
meeting drew a large crowd to Hampden Park,
and a more pleasant day for outdoor amuse
ment could not be desired. It was a day when
the horses could go fast, and, considering that
this course is a couple of seconds slower than
the Charter Oak course, the miles were reeled
off in good time. Large delegations of turf
men came in from adjacent towns with well
filled pocketbooks to indulge their fancy for
speculation. In all three of the events there
was one fiver considered so much the superior
or the field mat in each case there was a favor
ite selected at odds and when darkness came
two of them had proved successful, while the
third would have had the victory but for the
foolishness ot his driver.
This -wok in the free-for-all-pace where Roy
Wilkes cjnie out,w great form with George
Kobins wi o handles Alcryon, as his new driver.
Th broifn stallion seems to go well for any
body, and Robins evidently expected to win in
straight bleats. He had no trouble in outlast
ing Jewett for the first, but in the second made
the mistke of sending Roy to outfoot Jewett
in the first quarter so that when Gossip, Jr.,
made onejof his fiyiilg finishes, the stallion had
not speefl enough to hold the lead. After
getting the third heat with Gossip laid up,
Robins bad a good lead for the fourth as he
came into the home stretch. He pulled out for
the firm ftoting, leaving plenty of ro jm inside,
and Turner saw his chance and sent Gossip Jr.,
along overhauling the Wilaes horse, when
Robins gradually pulled across, shutting the
gelding off. Tho judges took an unnessary
time to consider, -but nmv itta tho iionf m
GossId Jr.) and seiit Roy Wilkes back to last
position.
The flrstf event for 2:18 trotters found Susie S
as fast a)s ever, and she was only obliged to
beat 22 ohce to defeat her field. Her wonder
ful speed was seen in the second heat, when
she made n standstill and then came on and
finished first trottint; the last half in about
laJ. Kit Curry, who reappeared in the regu
lar line, after a couple of weeks' visit to the
West, was notable to give the Kentucky mare
as good a race as was expected, for.her long
iourney tnjd on her and took away her speed,
fewton p made one of his fast finishes, and
would havje won the second neat had he kept
steady, Dfut he seems to be off bis balance at
present. The guaranteed stake of 15,000
broughtout a good field of nine, but the gray
stalViOn, Alcryon, was master of the situation,
ihd three heats brought the affair to an end.

Philedelphia, September 4. The an

the French took possession and gave to the
fort the name of Duquesne, in honor of the
Governor of Canada, and thus, on this very
spot, were kindled the fires of that great con
flict between England and France which in
cluded both hemispheres in its grasp and led
finally to the withdrawal of the Lilies of
France from the soil of the New World and
their subjection throughout all the vast
domain of North America to the Cross of St.
George, and the starry flag which stands in the
minds ot men as the emblem of the best hopes
ot mankind.
A SUITABLE SPOT.
It is fitting that on this historic spot, within
a few paces of the outer walls of old Fort Du
quesne, we, the men of a later day, some of us
the descendants of those, who in these valleys
suffered and fouzht, should raise this great
tempie 10 tne arts 01 peace, ana nere in ue
gateway of the West" should in triumph erect
a monument which tells more solendiuly than
any work of the sculptor or of the painter, of
th,e blessings which a kindly Providence has
Destowea upon the fervent spirit ana diligence,
in business.
Fellow citizens, this evening may, in some
sense, I trust, be regarded as marking the in
itial point in a new developmeut of the life of
onr splendid communities. This great under
taking represents the combined efforts of our
people, and reveals the existence of a greater
degree of public sninttban we bare at times
been tempted to allow to ourselves. May we
not hone that the carrvlner to a successful con
clusion of this enterprise, which is destined, as
we believe, to do so much to educate and ad
vance the best Interests of our people, may be
followed by yet other and equally important
undertakings. May we not hope that there
may be a yet larger and higher consecration of
the wealth of these two great cities, and of the
region of which they are the center, to the
course of human enlightenment and philan
thropy. It is net now the time or the place to point
out to you the pressing needs which still exist,
but it surely is a fitting time to remind you of
all the duties which increasing wealth brings,
and to bid you remember that there Is that
scattereth and yet lncreasetb, and there is that
withholdethmore than is meet, but it tendeth
to poverty.
Rev. Morgan M. Sheedy was next intro
duced and delivered a prayer, after which
the immense audience 'dispersed itself
through all parts of the vast building
and spent the rest of the evening in sight
seeing, and the big show was inaugurated
for a 40-day campaign.
FLAWS TO BE BEMEDIED.
Of course there were some drawbacks,
and more or less friction. - There was no
provision to give visitors checks, and if any
one turned the turnstile outward "to see a
man" or for any other purpose, he stayed
out or "put up" again.
There is one drawback that probably can
not be at once remedied. The aisles in the
main building are not wide enough. Evi
dently space was valuable, and when the
attendance is once at flood-tide there will be a
vast amount of "scrouging."
The management expressed itself satisfied.
While all that was expected was not realized,
there was enough bud to assure' abundant
fruitage, and in a few days it will materialize.
President Marvin will leave soon to be absent
for some weeks, and Vice President Bindley
will take the helm if he wishes exhibitors tn (.
low no grass to grow under their feet, and get
their exhibits in shape.
It is estimated that there were 10,000 people
in the building yesterday, and there would
have been many more had it not been that the
railway companies had issued excursion tlokets
from various towns good for the day only, and
in consequence many people were obliged to
start home before the opening. These people
expected to find the show in full blast
in the afternoon, and to be able to
come, see and conquer and go home all the
same day. As a rule, they lost no time in
finding President Marvin, who gave an ample
explanation and assuaged bis visitors' vexation
by furnishing them with complimentary tickets
good at any time during the Exposition. When
they come back they will findthe building open
continuously from 8 o'clock A. M. until 10 P. jr.,
when the tattoo will be sounded, which will
mean "lights out."
One of the most eomnletn and nufnl ariilh.
its in the building will be the Sale and Towne
model postofflce, and to-day all visitors can
have their mail directed to it, and it will be
delivered. The model is not only unique, but
complete, and Postmaster Larkin and Superin
tendent Collins are as proud of it as ladies are
of Easter bonnets.
The crowd seemed to have eaten supper be
fore eoine last night, as the ladies clad a la
Martha Washington didn't have much to do.
Popcorn and lemonade seemed to be about the
only austatory delictus indulged in.
While the rain had a deterrent effect on at
tendance, it added vastly to the comfort ot the
evening by laying the dust in the vicinity.
ALLEGHENY'S HEALTH.
Officer Bradley Reports a Serious Cause of
Disease.
At the meeting of the Allegheny Health
Committee last night Health Officer Bradley
reported that a number of butchers living
in the vicinity of the Butchers' run sewer,
in Eeserve township, were in the habit of
carting their refuse and ofial to a point on
the run, where theydumped it The putrid
flesh and decomposed matter was washed
down the run and through the sewer lead
ing into the city. The foul gases were
naturally disseminated throughout the
vicinity and breeded sickness. He attrib
uted the recent epidemic of typhoid and
other diseases to this cause, and suggested
that the city take legal steps to abate the
nuisance. Messrs. Curry, Groetzinger and
Smith were appointed a committee to in
quire into it and report what action should
be taken.
The resolutions of Mr. Stayton, provid
ing for the examination of milk to detect
adulteration, and for the examination of
wells and springs for disease germs, were
laid over onvaccount of the absence of that
gentleman.
The health inspectors were instructed to
look out for violators of a city ordinance
prohibiting the placing of refuse of all
kinds on the streets, alleys, lanes and high
ways, and to prosecute tuch violators in all
cases.
City Physician Woodburn presented his
mortality report for August. It showed a
total of 182 deaths. There were 22 from
typhoid fever. The greatest number of
deaths occurred in the Eleventh ward and
the least in the Fifth ward. For the cor
responding month last year there were 208
deaths.

Eclipsed Considerable
Booty Taken.
rsFXCTIL TKLIGBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
LruKViiiiE, Oee., September 4. The
lone highwayman who has figured so ex
tensively and daringly throughout the West
of late has eclipsed all previous
records. He has robbed two stages
inside of 15 minutes and vanished like a
specter, carrying his booty and leayintr
no trace behind. Last night, about 12
o'cloek, the driver of the stage on. the
Ayer-Llnkville line, was startled by the
familiar command of "Halt!" coming from
the wayside. He had often declared
that no robber could hold him up,
but be held bis bands up as high
as he could. After robbing the express box
of $100 and the single passenger ot $50, the
robber climbed on the boot of the stage and
ordered the driver to gb ahead.
Soon the rattle of the south-bound stage
could be heard. The robber commanded a
halt, and, ordering the driver to stay where
he was, slipped away in the bushes. The
driver listened and the command "Haiti"
was borne to his ears. The wheels
stopped, and then he heard blows of
an ax on the express box. It is not known
how much mouey was taken from the south
bound stage, as the drivers were not al
lowed to speak to each other, and only one
of them has reached here so far.
The robber is described as being a short,
good-looking man about 25 years of age.
He wore-no mask.

also notes in feminine handwriting. One of
the letters ran thus:
Dear Jack:
man.
You can flirt quite a little, old
Annie.
Justice Paterson, after hearing the cir
cumstances of the arrest explained to him
to-day, asked Mr. Crackwell whether it was
the custom in Boston to insult women in the
street.
"I did not insult any women," the pris
oner replied. "I merely looked at them."
""We do not allow men to look at women
that way in Brooklyn," was the Court's re
joinder. "You are fined 55."

Dr. Snafer, one of the physicians of tha
Polypathic Medical Institute, at 420 Penn ave.
Mr.CV". Pulpress, of No. 48 Liberty street,
Allegheny, had for a long time suffered from a
weak.tlredfeellng.no ambition, pain across
the Small Of hlS back anil nilnltaflnn nt tha
heart. His complexion wis very sallow, and as
the diseased condition of bis kidneys from
which he suffered further progressed, bis stom
ach became involved. He had bloatlmr. belch-'
ing of gas and distress after eating. He lost
flesh, his memory became poor and his mind
became so affected that he could neither read or
think, and was in constant fear of becoming in
sane. He often felt dizzy, so that everything
seemed to be in a whirl, and he became so
nervous as to entirely unfit him for any busi
ness. Having read in the papers that the
physieians of the Polypathic Medical Institute
make a .specialty of kldneyand urinary diseases
he began treatment with them. His own words
state the resnlt: "This is to certify that I have
been cured by the phrrtcians of the Polypathia
Medical Institute at 420 Penn avenue.
