LOCAL SPORTING TOPICS DISCUSSLi
Of course the Rreat event of the week has
been the commencement of the series of ball
rames for the world's championship. The
event is undoubtedly one ot the greatest of
tne baseball season, not only as a feature of
ball playing, but as a matter of revenue for
the clubs that participate in the series.
Taking for granted that the expectations of
those directly in these games are realized as
far as receipts are concerned, it will prove
that baseball is without doubt the most
popular outdoor athletic sport in the
world. "With this consideration in view, it
really becomes a question as to whether or
not the money to be gained is of
more importance than the honor to
be won. However, they are both
extremely vital features, and I am
always of the opinion that honor is one of the
chief essentials of the American national game.
Bat to the contest just besun. Who will win?
That's the problem almost everybody is asking,
and. curiously enough, almost everybody is
answering their own qnetion. "New Yorks
will win, to be sure," is what everybody is say
inE. and wbat everybody says I snppose must
be true. .My prediction goes for New York, of
course, but I will not be surprised to find that
the Giants will bare a very hot argument be
fore ther down the ne w champions of the Asso
ciatien. It is no use shutting our eyes to the
fact that Brooklyn has a (rood and stronjrteam.
Take the Brooklyn players all round they are a
powerful set of ball players, and with some of
that proverbial luck that now and again crops
oat in ball came:, they might pull through vic
torious. I sometimes think that the most
ardent admirers of the league underestimate
the strength of the Brooklyns. For instance, a
friend of mine the other day, a very enthusi
astic patren of baseball and has been for years,
bet me a modest little wager of a luxurious
kind that Brooklyn will not win three games in
the series. T will be a very much surprised
man indeed if Brooklyn does not win three
games before New York scores its sixth vic
tory. .Brooklyn has started out like getting three
at any .rate. However, the fact must be clear to
all, admirers of baseball that the New York
club is a superior club to the Brooklyns. Take
the players collectively or individually and no
other conclusion can reasonably be reached. It
follows then that if both clubs play on their
merits that the Jjeacue champions will have
something like an easy time of it; but the
Giants are just abont as uncertain as any
team I know of. Oh, but they are an
awful lot when they are under the influence of
what Is known as "rattles." They gave an
illustration of this on Friday. Their work re
minded one of the excited efforts of an ama
teur nine, and if they fall by the wayside in
this series the chief cause will be their falling
to pieces. No club in either League or Asso
ciation can defeat theNew York in -n U-game
scries if the New Yorks play as they can
play. When 12 runs are made with Keefe in
the box I maintain that Keefe then is not
Keefe the great pitcher whom we have all
seen and admired. However, there will be
opportunity for the Giants to display their
best work, and wbe they do the Association
representatives will not be in it.
V
Just as sure as'the championship season ends
so -sure are we to be confronted with state
ments to the effect that the Association clubs
are vastly superior to those of the League. Dur
ing the week there have been many statements
or opinions flying round to the effect that if
this or that Association club was in the League
it would win the pennant. Now this is all very
well until we come to the fact that for several
years the best team in the Association has been
a miserable failure when pitted against the best
team in the League. Comparisons are in
variably odious, and in this instance are par
ticularly so,Dut it does not seem nnreasonable or
unsafe to say that a better class of ball playing
is found in the Leagae than can be seen in
the Association. Of coarse I will be reminded
of the victories that the Association clubs score
over the League clubs in exhibition games, but
to this I emphasize the fact that they are onlv
exhibition games. Often the best players are
cot engaged in the games at all. and when this
is so any comparison that may be made will be
defective. The great fact remains that almost
any Association club is always ready to join
the League when opportunity affords. There
is nothing said here to mean tbat the Associa
tion cannot play good ball; not at all. The
only thing that is meant is that the standard of
the League playing is higber than that of the
American Association.
The Homo Club.
Before many days come and go, the players
of the home team will be hieing themselves
away to their winter headquarters. Doubtless
they are all heartily sick of their employment
during the last few days. Tackling the
amateurs has been a very monotonous time for
all of tbeio. At least, that is what they state,
and there is no reason to doubt their state
ments. The series with the amateur clubs has
not been a failure financially, althongh it may
have fallen short of expectations in the way of
creating excitement However. I don't think
that the series has been entirely in vain, because
In proving the comparative weakness of the
local amateurs dabs something has been ac
complished. If the league ulayers of this city
have succeeded in drawing the attention of
the amateurs to their own shortcomings then
something very useful has been accomplished.
It is, indeed, a great thing at times to have our
faults brought face to face with us. Then we
can, if we desire, try and secure a remedy for
them. It has been apparent that the amateurs
are sadly deficient in two things particularly,
viz: picking up grounders and batting the ball.
"When next season comes it will be wellf or them
to devote special attention toward improvement
in these two essentials of good ball playing.
The home players, that is the players of the
Pittsburg club, have probably played their last
game this season. It mav be tbat they
will play a couple of game's with a picked
local nine, but the chances are not assuring.
Every member of the team is eager to go home
as soon as possible. They may be required to
report next season much sooner than usual, as
President Nimick is strongly in favor of send
ing the entire club down South early next year
to practice, so that every player will be m good
condition to commence the championship
season. I have on several occasions advocated
a move of this kind, believing that it would be
profitable in every respect, ft is a fact known
to all admirers of the club that for the last two
seasons scarcely a man has been in good play
ing condition until the season has been well ad
vanced, president NimlcK still has hopes of
securing a good and prominent position in the
League-race with his team before be severs
connection with it, and one of the safe ways to
get the position desired is to have the plaj era
in condition at the start. If this is done there
Is no reason why the Pittsburg Club should not
play a very prominent part.
The Brotherhood Scheme.
Doubtless the public is somewhat weary of
reading and talking abont the schemes and
rumors of schemes that the Ball Players' Broth
erhood is alleged to be hatching. However, the
Question seems to be one of the leading ones in
the baseball world, and it is remarcable the
great amount of Interest that is day after day
centered in it. After all, I am inclined to think
an opinion which I have oft expressed In these
reviews is likely to be correct, viz.. that if there
is anything done at all It will sot be until after
the League meeting. Borne very intelligent
players, aud very prominent in the League,
assure me that there is nothing at all In the
alleged scheme or schemes, and tnat the threat
of organizing a league to rival the one now in
existence is entirely a bluff. However
that may be, . It is certain tbat
tho bluff, If it is only a bluff, is
having some effect on the minds of the mag
nates ol the Leagae. We don't hear anything
now about reducing the salaries of the players
and last year at this season nothing else was
tne topic xnere is really no intention on the
cart of the maraates to even introdnr.n the I
question of lower salaries, but on the contrary I
some ol the prominent officials have plainly
stated that they want to engage their own play
ers and at prices suitable to the parties directly
Interested. President Day, who certainly must
be acknowledged as an authority on the matter,
has made a statement to the effect that class
ification may be all right if It was lived up to.
But he adds tbat it is not lived up to by clubs.
Now, this proves exactly what I predicted
when tho League meeting was held last year.
Logic and common sense inspired the opinion
tbat no rule for limitation of salaries wa3 worth
the paper on which it was written if the mag
nates did not desire to act up to that rule.
There was sound reason for such prediction, and
according to the opinion of Mr. Day it has been
proven true to the letter. Well, then, if noth
ing more is gained by the real or imaginary
Brotherhood scheme the fact that the reduc
tion of salary notions is put to one side is a
great victory for the players.
Sulllrnn's Kenppenrnncc.
After an unusually long silence the great and
only John L. Sullivan, champion pugilist of
the world, has made himself beard; after being
in obscurity for weeks and weeks, except as a
leading charcter in saloon episodes he has re
appeared before the public as the only John L.
He has once more thrown down the gantlet
to the whole world and for that matter any
body else that the "whole world" does not em
brace. We may, therefore, come to the con
clusion that Jphn is himself again. Ho has
issued a very broad, but to a very great extent
a meaningless, challenge, and in it particularly
invites Jem Smith, Mitchell or any other for
eigner to come to America and "take their
medicine." Well, now, all this is extremely
interesting. Without donbt Sullivan would
probably like nothing better than to meet any
body in a glove contest; but I venture to say
that nobody knows better than Mr. Sullivan
tbat his challenge at this juncture
is 99 per cent "bluff." There is not
much likelihood of either Smith, or Mitchell
coming to this country to fight Sullivan at San
Francisco. I understand that the conditlonsof
the California Athletic Club are now to the
effect that five-ounce gloves must be used. The
club named is the only place where a fight of
international prominence could take place, so
that we may safely say that whoever meets
Sullivan must meet him with five-ounce gloves.
I don't know anybody, except it may be Jack
son, who could make a good stand against John
Lr in a soft glove contest under Queensberry
rules. Smith is, above all things, a ring fighter
and with bare knuckles. He has been reared
in that business and has earned what laurels he
has inside the ropes under prize ring rules. On
the contrary, Sullivan has mostly," almost en
tirely, become Sullivan by glove contests.
Were Sullivan no better in a glove contest un
der Queensberry rules than he is In a prize
ring under prize ring, there would be many
to face him. But Sullivan appears to have
been specially made for glove fighting under
the three-minute rule. His style,
temperament and strength all add to
his power as a clove fighter. It is,
therefore, exceedingly unlikely tbat his chall
enge will be responded to by either Smith or
Mitchell. Certainly not by the latter whose
connection with the late Kilrain-Sullivan fight
will keep him clear of our shores. But the
challenge has an aim. Snllivan and his combi
nation are to start out shortly and that fact en
tirely accounts for the last challenge of the
politico-pugilist.
V
He Can Get a Man.
But if John L. Sullivan is really spoiling for a
battle; if lack of work is really ruining his won
derful slugging abilities, why won't he have a
go at Peter Jackson? That is a question that
is likely to become a very prominent one sooner
or later. If Jackson defeats Smith, and he
probably will, if the result is not already ar
ranged, he is sure to make a definite proposi
tion to Sullivan relative to a contest for the
w orld's championship. The truth is that Sulli
van has already had good inducements to face
Jackson in his(Sullivan's)own special way viz.:
in a gioTe contest ai can rrancisco.
We all know, of course, the excuse
that the terror of the world made against
meeting the Australian. Jackson is too dark
in the complexion tor Sullivan's sentimentali
ty. In short, Sullivan so far has declined to
meet a colored man in a battle. Ot course
this would seem to mean that John L. desires
to import a little dignity into the pugilistic
business. John draws the line at the color of
the skin. So it would seem that he welcomes
opponents from the laud of the Esquimaux or
anywhere else, except from Africa's sunny
climes. He has faced men white men devoid
of either manhood or morality, but he cannot
condescend to use his fists on the jugular of an
honest colored man, who so far has proven
himself t. f oeman worthy the steel of auybody.
Pugilists whose careers will be remembired
when Sullivan's will be forgotten never present
ed such flimsv excuses to avoid an honest battle.
Most certainly, if it should happen that Jack
son isucs a definite challenge to Sullivan, and
the latter declines. Jackson will have a perfect
claim on the highest title.
Dempsey and La Blanche.
I fear tbat Dempsey and La Blauche will
never meet again. The new conditions of the
California Athletic Club to which I have
already referred, are such that leave little
hope of an encounter between the two. A pair
of five-ounce gloves are much too big for aman
liKe Dempsey to use against an opponent of the
build of La Blanche. Were these two pugilists
to meet with five-ounce gloves I think that La
Blanche would be a strong favorite and would
be a certain winner. Dempsey is too light aman
to have any effect with big gloves against men
stronger and bigger than himself, and he is
even a light hitter iu proportion to his strength.
He has been out of his class for years,
if not during his enure pugilistic
career, because I maintain that he has ahvavs
been heavier than he ought to have been in his
battles. Dempsey should have never been
much above 110 pounds and at that weight he
would have been a wonderful man in any style
of fighting. Of coarse he has a record to be
proud of as it is, but I think tbat most of us
are now convinced that, as a prize fighter, he
has been overestimated tor a long time. How
ever, it is a pity that there seems so little pros
pect of another battle between him and La
Blanche.
Senrle's Departure.
The great Australian sculler is now home
ward bound. He has left English soil and is
now on his way to the other side of the globe.
Before stepping aboard ship ho made a state
ment that he is extremely anxious ot rowing
O'Connor, Teemer. Gau'daur or anybody else
for $5,000 a side and the championship of the
world. There is. Indeed, little chance of his
securing a race with any American sculler for
a Iodc time. Professional rowing is at too low an
ebb in this country to expect backing for a
man sufficient to enable him to visit Australia
and row Searle. And low as it is it is jnst
where it ought to be. and it is just where those
who have lived in the business for years have
sent it- However, it may be that before next
year at this time .Searle and O'Connor may
measure blades again. The former is in hopes
of securing a race with his old opponent Stans-
oury, ana is. ue aoes not ne may return to this
country in the spring. Stansbury, by the way,
is the sculler who made Searle row the quick
est race of his life, and according to informa
tion received, Stansbury is improving. How
ever, Searle is a wonder, and ho and his party
mnsc have taken a wonderful lot of money
back to Australia with them.
The Curlers.
Now that winter is at our heels the attention
of sportsmen is sore to be turned toward the
winter sports, and sure enough there is little
left in this city to choose from. There was a
time when the winter amusements of a recreat
ive kind were almost as numerous in the winter
as in the summer. Bat things are changed now.
However, there is one good old pastime that is
always with us, and it deserves to be preserved
because of its many good qualities. I refer to
the old Scottish game of curling. If ever there
was a winter sport, curling is it, and I have
often been surprised that the game has not a
larger patronage here than it has. A few of its
most faithful admirers, notably Mr. J. W.
Drape, have kept it in existence in this city,
and I am tald that they mean to have a busier
season tbis winter than ever. Efforts are being
made to secure a first-class link, and if the ef
forts are successful it will be one of the best
things for the sport that has yet befallen it. If
a good rink is obtained there is a probability of
some international contests here, as there are
many clubs in Canada whose members would
behapny to have a winter's trip here to take
part in a curling contest. At any rate, it is to be
hopetLthat if the winter is a suitable one there
will be some cnrling contests ot sufficient im
portance to bring that sport prominently before
the public
Abont Foot Runner.
The proposed one-mile foot race between E.
C McClelland and Peter Priddy has brought
pedestrianism before the local public again.
The race is for a good-sized stake, and between
two well-known runners. McClelland is well
known, but bis abilities as a mile runner are
not, although 1 have heard that he is running
extraordinarily fast; Indeed, rumors those Q,
T. rumors are current to the effect that he can
run a mile in 4:25 or 4:28. Of course, it is not
impossible by any means for this to be done by
a human being; in fact, much better time has
been made. But McClelland has never run a
mile race in public, and I make the predictiou
that the first time he does be will be consider
ably short of 423: and so will Priddy. I have
often watched mile runners, and champions at
that, going a mile when the pnblic thought
them "firing." Four minutes and SO seconds,
or thereabouts, brought them un. Deuend nnon
It that a man is putting off very little time
wbea he goes a mile on an average track in 430.
About three weeks ago Cammings won
the mile champion challenge cap
and 100 Donnds defeating a man like Cannon in
48and a fraction. The trnth is that very
mny people talk about "time" in foot "racing
who have very little idea of it. If. for In.
stance, more was known about how speedy a
man has to be to run 100 yards In 10 seconds, we
certainly .would hear fewer absurd stories
about this man and that man running the dis
tance in 9 and something. Of late we have had
story after story about 10 seconds being easily
beaten In 100 yards. I don't believe it.
Wherever these alleged quick times have been
made it is safe to say that something unduly
favorable to the runner existed. And so It is
with these extraordinary nillers. Like the
sprinters, they are literally flying until they
meet a good man in an honest match race, and
then something goes wrong with their ankles,
shoes or something else. However, if the
track is in good condition for the McClelland
Priddy race, I expect to see very good time
made.
Turf Affair.
Practically speaking, the running season of
1SS9 has ended. There are still some meetings
to be held yet, but probably with the exception
of the Kentucky Centennial races, these are of
little or no importance. According to reliable
authorities the racing season in the East has
been remarkablo for heavy betting and the pub
lic have been losers. One authority states that
the bookmakers have also been losers, and this
may sound paradoxically. However, I think it
is true and such things have often occurred. It
is possible and often probable for certain
stables to get almost all the money, leaving lit
tle for either the public or bookmakers. One
important feature has been noticeable daring
the season on the Eastern tracks' and that is the
competition among tho various tracks. Each
track has been catering so expensively for pub
lic patronage that almost all are heavy losers.
We cannot expect a competition of this kind to
continue The weakest must go to the wall, or
else an amicable arrangement among the entire
lot must be made. Pbtngle.
THIMBU NO THE SUBURBS.
Pittsburg's Team Slangbter the McKccs
port Innocents.
The Pittsburg Baseball Club put the Mc
Keesport club in the soup very badly to-day in
the second game between those clubs and the
home club made a very bad sbowing, all of
which is due to the fact that Patterson, the
pitcher of the home team, was very weak, and
as a result the club was made better acquainted
with its own diamond in the first three innings,
during which old Galvin laughed and played
with the boys while Beckley yelled "beans"
and McKeesport suffered the tortures of being
badly mopped up. Had Jones been in the
box from the start for the McKeesport
It is probablo that it would have proven a close
game; that is. the visitors would have won. of
course, but the score would have been held
much less. As it was, the score .stood at the
close of the game 19 to 2 in favor of the Pitts
burgs. Deacon White remarked that Jones is
the best pitcher he has run against in a month,
and the visitors did not whack him all over the
field as they did Patterson, who dropped out
after the third lunincr, when the ;Alliea" had
Eiled up 11 scores. The visitors did not play
ard, but played gocd ball and took it easy
after the third inning. Toward the end of the
game they eased up, not being able to accom
plish much off ot Jones, aud put in an occa
sional score in order to keep up the interest for
the "bleachers." "Petie" Martin, ono of the
players of tne home team, made three
base hits, and being considered one of
the weak players of the team, tho
feat accomplished by him off of old man Gal
vin brought down the applause and added
laurels to Martin's record. The McKeesportcrs
slucged Galvin pretty lively at times, but tho
ball always dropped into the hands o Sunday,
Kuehne, Dunlap or Fields. On three occasions
the borne team had men on third, but could not
get them" home to count They played well
and played hard, but could have done better.
The work of Jones was admired by the visitors.
Galvin and Miller talk of picking tin a nine of
Pittsburg professionals to play McKeesport a
game some dav next week, and will arrange It
in the meantime A large audience witnessed
the game. The game of to-day practically
winds up the season for McKeeesport, and the
club will come out behind financially, and iu
all probability a bigger loser than Braddock is.
Some of the"admiring friends of Fred Miller.
Galvin's catcher, presented him with a beautiful
meerschaum cigar holder during the progress
of the game.

FOLEY'S RACY CHAT.
He Comments on Kelly's Bad Break and Its
Disastrous Effect.
rCOKRESFONDENCE OP THE DISPATCH.
Boston, October 18. Well, well; we are
floating around in the maelstrom de consomme,
but take pity on us. Of course you have beard
about that beautiful "Garrison finish" of Mike
Kelly's. It was something beautiful to behold,
aud "Pittsburg Phil" would consider it a treat
to be present when Charley Horse Kelly made
his famous dash for liberty and beer.
I think tbe Bostons would have had a benefit
here if Kelly bad not fallen from grace. The
weather has been cold (very cold) since the
Bostons left 'Pittsburg, 'and even a benefit
game wonldn't draw a Corporal's guard. Bat
that is not the idea; many hundreds of tickets
could be disposed of around town. Colonel
Taylor, of the Globe, proved a true friend to
the boys, and they are all S72 better off. Tho
Boston players, on Monday evening last, pre
sented both Colonel Taylor and the redoubt-1
able General Dixwell with beautiful gold
headed canes. Dixwell, who is tbe greatest
ball crack in America, has already secured
four seats for the testimonial entertainment in
honor of the New York club. Tbe affair
comes off Sunday evening. Mike Kelly can
thank his lucky stars that he was in a
club that cleared over 3100,000 this season. In
some poor money-making team, they would
have made Kelly suffer for his Cleveland esca
pade. The triumvirs have neither fined him
nor reprimanded him; besides the press has
shown him mercy.
Nearly 300.000 people attended the games on
the South End grounds this season, and it is
estimated that nearly $200,000 was taken in for
admission and grand stand tickets. The
grounds are the best located in the conntry,
and the horso car accommodations are the
finest in tbe land.
The Boston player" are now departing for
home. Kelly and Brouthers have left, the
former to his New York hostelry, while big
Dan will tell ghost stories to1 bis friends in
Wappinger Falls. Neither Kelly nor Brouth
ers will accompany Jim Hart to California.
Tom Brown will stay here for awhile, but
next month he meets Hart in Chicago and starts
for his Dome in 'irnsco.
Yonng Mad den will hunt rabbits 'way down
Maine. John Morrill, who was a member of
tbe Boston club for 13 consecutive years, will
probably take Brouthers'- place on the Cali
fornia trip. Chaei.es J. Foley.

Local Shooter Talking of Holding a Biff
Tonrnitmenr.
If the winter is not an extremely rough one,
the local gun clubs expect to have some big
contests. In the early part of the year it Is in
tended to have a tournament on a, large s.cale
and offer prizes that will attract all the leading,
shots In the country. A member of one of the
clubs said yesterday: .
"A first-class tournament has-often been
talked of here, but I think we are strong enough
now . to hold one. Local clubs are numerous,
and if they will combine and promote a tourna
ment that will last for a few days. I am certain
that it will be successful. We are, I think, as
well able to have the champions here as many
other cities. 1 think we'll have a busy time
daring this coming winter."

The New York team easily defeated the
Brooklyns on the latter's grounds. Crane
pitched and the Association players only
made three hits off his delivery. The Na
tional League reserve list is published, and
Sunday is left out of the local list and Jones
is reserved. There eras an interesting game
between the Pittsburgs and the McKees
ports. Brooklyn, October 19. The world's
champions turned the tables to-day on the
Brooklyns, playing steadily and strongly
and outplaying their opponents at all points.
Crane was in the box, and his swift balls
and sharp curves were very puzzling to his
opponents, and hits were few and far be
tween. The bases on balls were numerous,
but not disastrous. The support of Ewing
was m gnificent. Crane is acknowledgedto 1
be one of the hardest men in the country to
face, but he handled him finely and di
rected the movements of his men with
ability. Kichardson did some remarkable
work, and Ward played in a way that con
trasted sharply and advantageously with the
work of the Brooklyn player in the same
position. Gore's batting was a feature of
the game. The New Yorks stole bases al
most as they pleased, Visner throwing very
poorly. He showed up well, however, in his
Jbackstopplng. Collins played mother perfect
game, but there was little in the play of the
home club to call for extended notice. It was
A TREMENDOUS CROWD
that saw the game. There is probably no
ground in tbe country bo well adapted for -the
accommodation of an immense throng. The
attendance of New Yorkers was very large and
tbe elevated roads were given a great deal to
do. At an early hour the seating capacity of
the grounds was tested to tbe utmost. After
that the spectators bad to find places on the
embankments surrounding the field and some
stood rows deep around the ropes that encircled
the outfield and reached aronnd from first base
to third. The attendance of ladies was very
large and some of the fair sex had to stand np
during the game. The tops of the fences were
lined with enthusiasts and every available spot
from which the game could be seen was occu
pied. It was
AN INTERESTING SIGHT
to see this great throng of 16,172 people On
tbis superb field, 500x300 feet. It was an en
thusiastic crowd and it cheered wildly and up
roariously when the New Yorks left their car
riages at tbe upper end of tbe grounds and
marched to their benches. The Brooklyn play
ers themselves could not have had received a
warmer reception. As on yesterday they wore
their white uniforms, with black caps, stock
ings and trimmings. The Brooklyns were
cheered to the echo, as a matter of course.
They wore white snits with red trimmings.
The nmpires were Messrs. Gaffney and Lynch.
Tbe former was attired in his neat wine-colored
suit and the latter in the gray suit with the
letter-carrier-lise cap that is so familiar to
League crowds. The umpiring was a
FEATURE OP THE CONTEST.
It is safe to say that never was a world's
championship contest nmnired to greater satis
faction. There was scarcely as much as a mur
mur at any decision, and it was well shown tbat
with competent men the doable umpire system
Is what the game needs and deserves. The
crowd was remarkably quiet and well behaved.
There was plenty of entbusiasm, but the order
and discipline were most commendable.
The contest began with the New Yorks first
at the bat. It was too hot for the home team,
however, for when the New Yorks do their
prettiest it requires coolness, hard work and
perfect play to keep up with them. The Brook
lyns couldn't keep up. It is hard to say that
they were
MORE THAN ONCE BATTLED.
But that was the case. Smith was the great
est sufferer in that respect. He made errors
on plays that any other time would have been
easy for him. His four misplays gave four
runs, just enough to give the New Yorks that
much of a lead over his team. Visner was In
the same boat with Smith, but he did not make
such costlyerrors. The otberplayers were much
cooler, and handled themselves in better form
than on tbe day before. The outfielders made
snre work of fiy balls, and threw m perfectly.
O'Brien and Corkbill did the best work in the
latter respect, and Tom Burns did not
do badly by any means. Pinkney had
little chance to show wbat be
could do in the way of handling
the ball at third, but what he did was well
done, and no one can ask more than that. Of
the whole Brooklyn team, the greatest praise
mast go to Caruthers. Bobby pitched well, not
withstanding he was hit hard at times. He pre
vented the hits from being bunched, and not an
earned ran was made off him. Had his support
been what it should have been the victory
doubtless would have been Brooklyns'.
CBANE'S CYCLONIC PITCHING.
For the New York's side, when it is said that
they outplayed their opponents all around, the
whole thine is told. The New Yorks presented
the same team that has so often been seen on
the Polo Grounds battling for the champion
shin. Ewing was behind the bat, while
Ed" Crane did the shooting act. From
tbe start Ewing kept shouting "shoot
them over" and the more Ewing shouted the
more speed Crane pot into the ball, until t&e
horse hide in Its course made a streak in the
air. Crane was very effective in preventing
hits. Only three clean hits were made off him.
He was quite wild at the start, and it was not
until tbe third inning tbat he began to settle
down, but when be was once warmed
up he pitched a winning ball in " every
sense of the word. The people who saw tbe
way he twisted the ball around the necks of
the opposing batsmen to-day decided tbat he
had been aptly named tbe cyclone, and cheered
him with a will. Ewing supported him in his
usual fine way, bnt the great catcher was com
pelled to bustle all the time to prevent the ball
from getting away from him or knocking him
to pieces. Score:

SPECIAL TXLEOBAH TO TUX DISPATCH.
CnrcnniATT, October 19. There is some- I
thin; in the wind. After Ted Sullivan had !
chased all over the West and closed
the deal with Omaha for the release of Ted
Nichols to Cincinnati, the club has called
a halt In the matter. Indeed, there will be no
more talent secured nntil after tbe meeting of
tbe League and Association in New York.
President Stern goes East next week to
remain nntil after the Baseball Congress
at tbe Fifth avenue. There is a suspicion here
that If W alter Hewitt means what be says, and
if Washington is tired of baseball, that Cincin
nati has the call for the vacancy. If the
League looks upon Cincinnati with favor aud
the Brotherhood bugaboo dies out, the JKeds
may be In new company in 1S90. Tbe League,
witb tbe Brotherhood specter to face, is not
much worse off than the Association with a
couple of morgues in tbe circuit. Tbe official
announcement of Manager Schmetz's departure
has been made, and bis successor is popularly
supposed to bo Tom Lof tus.
If Cincinnati remains in the Association Bun.
day grounds are to be secured, in Kentucky,
and as a "feeler" the Beds win play at Ludlow,
on tbe Southern Railway, a week from Sun
day. Excursion trains will be run to the
grounds. .
GIIXILAND WAS A TERROR.
New Brighton Defeats tbe Beaver Grays by
n Score of 6 to 3.
fSrlCIAI, TSMCQBAU TO THE DIRriTCH.I
Beaver Falls, October 10. The Beaver
Grays and the New Brlghtons played tbe best
game of tbe season at Geneva Park this alter
noon, and had it not been for a good streak ot
luck the former clnb would have been shut
out. Gilliland, of tbe New Havens, and Far
row, of tbe Greenville, Mien., team, were the
battery for the New Brightons, and Jobe and
Caler acted for the Grays. Gilliland was a
terror to the delegation from the Saint's Best,
striking out 12 of them and retiring them with
four bits, one of which was of tbe scratch
order. The New Brightons fielded beautifully
until the last inning, when "Pirn"
Kuhn led off with a single; Shumaker
Crove a ball to Gilliland, but Molter
and Farrow were playing out of their positions,
and neither Kuhn nor Shumaker was out;
McClain fumbled Couch's hit; and tbe bases
were loaded. In the meantime Kuhn was
thrown out at tbird by Gilliland on his
brother's drive. Johnston then drove a ball to
Farrow in "right field, which was neatly cap.
tured, but tbe latter threw wide to the plate in
order to catch Shumaker, and tbe ball weut
into the crowd. Some one picked up tho ball
and Beaver claimed it a block, which was
allowed by Umpire Denhart, and all hands
scored. Robert Johnston then struck out, and
the game was over.
The magnificent playing of Kerr at first and
the fielding of Kuhn in left were the principal
features ot thegame. Toy aud John Farrow
also did fine. Gilliland pitched the best ball
ever seen here and batted terrifically. Beaver
played i good game, but odds were against
them. New Brighton, however, only earned
two of their six scores, and bad the fielding
been sharp on both sides neither clnb would
have scored in the nine innings. Toy and
Lauman are members of the Rochester, N. Y.,
and Quincy, 111., teams, respectively. Score:

BELMONT SIGNS HAMILTON.
Honsh Brothers Reported to
be After
Jockey Garrison. .
New York, October 18. Mr. August Bel
mont has secured Anthony Hamilton, the most
successful jockey of the season of 1SS9, to ride
for blm during the season of 1S90. The papers
were signed at Morris Park the last day of the
New york Jockey Club's meeting.
Hamilton is under contract with Senator
Hearst for LSS9, at a salaryawayintbe thou
sands, but next year, when he dons the maroon
and scarlet and guides Mr. Belmont's sons and
daughters of St. Blaise and the Ill-Used to vic
tory he will receive $10,000. Snapper Garrison,
who rode for Mr. Belmont tbis year and whom
many supposed would bo tbat gentleman's
chief jockey next year notwithstanding the
Baceland episode, was at the Elizabath track
yesterday. Hewas not surprised when be heard
that Hamilton baa been engaged to take his
nlace.
It can be stated on good authority that the
Houch brothers, tbe Pennsylvanlans who nairt
'910,100 for Come to Taw ana largo snms for For
est lung aim oioer promising laorougnDreds,
and who are said to b'e worth $3,000,000, are
anxious to secure Garrison's services, and
everything favors the belier that he will be
found in their employ next year. Thev will run
a big stable. Jimrale McCormlck, their tralucr,
has taken the old Denton quarters near the
Gravesend track, and as they are constantly
on the alert tor desirable horses, tbey will
probably be among the leading patrons of the
turf.

NEW Yoek. October 19. Arthur T. Lumley
said to-day: "In justice to all concerned I de
sire to say that tbe champion is not Mead

few thousand dollars in hand, after paying off
a good many of his old debts. I was present when
Mr. Al Cridge, of Crldge& Murray, handed over
to JohnL. tbe $20,000 stakes all in $500 bills.
Both Messrs. Johnstonand Wakely refused at
this meeting to take back one cent of their
money or winnings. I thought tbe paper I rep

A GREAT WIND-UP AT LATONIA.
E.
a McClelland Easily Defeats the Facer The
Winners at Elizabeth.
Mr. Benson, the Jubilee plunger, has re
ceived $10,000 for his book and has had a
royal time with the money. Slavin's con
test with Goode gives the impression that
Slavinis only second-class. The races at
latonia come to a successful finish.
tET CABLE TO TITE DISPATCH.1
London, October 19. Copyright To
say that Benson, the Jubilee plunger, is a
fool does not do him justice. He received
'2,000 that Trischler & Co. paid him for his
book, "How I Spent 250,000 in Two
Years," last week. He now has about 100
left. Benson went to Scarborough with a
few boon companions the day after he re
ceived his money, and began to spend it as
if it were another 250,000. He has been
playing baccarat and shooting pigeon matches
with abler gamblers and better shots than him
self all week, and last evening gave a fancy
dress ball to 800 of the elite of the watering
place, his costume being that of a jockey in bis
own former colors. Since he lost his fortune
Benson has been confined to a meagerjneome
of 500 per year, andhe was evidently unable to
forego the temptation to make one of his old
time spurts wh en he got 2,000 in his hands.
The boxing match between Slavin, tbe Aus
tralian, and Bill Goode. the middle weight En
glish champion, for 400, was the- best thing ot
its kind seen in London for a long time past.
Goode gave away five inches in height, a good
deal in reach and 30 pounds in weight, but de
spite this he made one of tbe pluckiest fights
on record. In the first ronnd he landed on
Slavin three times for every blow ne received,
and though the Australian fought with the
utmost confidence from the start he was evi
dently puzzled by the stand the little fellow
made. In the tbird round Goode was twice
knocked down and when he came np for tbe
fourth round he was a beaten man. Slavin is a
slugger of no mean order. He delivers
tremendous blows and is fairly active bnt his
science is only or second rate character. Sul
livan or even KUraln would beat" him easily.
Peter Jackson has now challenged Slavln,wbo,
however, U more anxious for a brush with Jem
Smith. If it is arranged, which is doubtful. It
will not come off until after Smith and Jack
son have settled the question of supremacy at
tbe Pelican Clnb next month. English sports
men would put their money on Jackson in any
match with Slavin. "
A remarkable squabble is now going on in
reference to the winner of the Czarowitz.
Primrose Day wasfrnn in the name of William
Goater. but Edward Godfrey now declares that
he owns the winner, and objects to any stakes
being paid over on the ground of wrongful de
scription of on nership. If he can sustain this
contention then tbe stakes will go to Ingram,
tbe second horse. Godfrey, however, is be
lieved to be a crank. He was in pecuniary diffi
culties when Primrose Day was a foal, and
Goater asserts that he bought tbe animal then,
paying over a check which was formally trans
ferred to Messrs. Weatherby, tbe turf agents.
to pay Godfrey's forfeits for other horses he
bad in training.
