READYFOHTHE FRAY, All in Order for To-Day's . Opening Baseball Events. TEAMS THAT WILL BE HERE The Local Colls Hare a Tery Narrow Escape at McKeesport. THE SPORTING KEWS OP THE DAI 'Everything is ready for the commence ment of the big baseball conflict which opens to-day. The make-up of the teams which will play in Pittsburg are given. A big time is expected. The National League team won a close game at McKeesport. The American Association clubs played some good cames. The latest betting quotations on the big turf handicaps are published. To-day is the great opening day the day on which will begin what will doubtless be known in baseball annals as the commence ment of the actual conflict between the Players' League and the Xational League The contest starts with the bitterest feeling on both sides, and the stake at issue is the pub lic patronage With a clear course and no favor, let the best side win. That there will be a city fall of entbnsiam to-day there is no doubt. All arguments that have been used pro and con either party will, for the nonce, be entirely forgotten, just as if they had never been uttered or written. Friends will stick np for friends on this occasion de spite all the poer of logic If it is a fine day we will, no doubt, have a EEMAKKABLE BASEBALL, SIS1E. At this stage more than any other it would be invidious to make comparisons; probably the day's events in themselves will hart some feelings sufficiently. Both clubs have made excellent opening arrangements, and the public will have a treat on either side. The National League clnb will begin its parade at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, where the Cleve land club will be located. The parade, headed by the Great Western Band, will move along the principal streets of the city and on to Alle gheny to Recreation Park, where a promenade concert will be held. The parade of the Plavers' League, headed by the G. A. R. Band, will start from the Hotel Anderson, where the Chicagos will be located, and after parading the principal streets of the city, will proceed to Allegheny and on to tho new grounds at Exposition Park, where a promenade concert will also be given. The grounds are not entirely completed, hat they are m good enough condition to play on. The diamond has been sodded and the stands are all reaay for occupancy. A LITTLE DISAPPOINTMENT. The opera chairs for the grand stand have not arrived owing to a delay on the part of the makers. There will be sufficient scats, bow ever, on the grand stand to seat 4,000 people. It is cafe to sav that when completed the new grounds and stands will be the finest in the country. The entire stands have a seating ca pacity for 7,000 people, and when that amount of space is hlled the game will be a profitable one to all concerned. The Chicagos, that remarkable aggregation of star players, will, with Manager Hanlon's team, open the Players' League new; grounds. The local clnb certainly has seenred a great card to open with, and at that the visitors may be downed, because Pittsburgers are very tnugh people on an opening day. Both teams will have in their best nines and that means there will be a very determined contest. The game will commence at 3.3". The make-up of the teams ill be as follows: TH3 P. L. TEAMS. Pittsburg P. . Position. Hanlon Center... Vis tier. Right.... Fields Left Beckley Firt ... Robinson ...Second.. Corcoran Short.. . Kuehne Third... Carroll Catcher.. Galvm Pitcher.. Chicago P. L. Duffy Farrell O'Neill Comiky Preffer Bastian Latham Boyle .King Tne National League also has a good ouening attraction, as the Cleveland N. L. team is just the kind of material to maki a thorough test of theoungsters who so far have been doing great things at Recreation Park. It may he that the Forest City aggregation are coining here to meet defeat. Certainly the team will encounter one of the most promising set of voung plaj era that have been gotten together. The contest between the two aggregations will he WELL WORTH SEEING by all lovers of baseball. The local heroes will have to face Bcatin,and he is avery tough customer; but it will not be surprising if he is touched up in a way thai he little expects. With a reasonable amount of encouragement the new plajers will put np a solid game, and those who go to see tbem play will, in all prob ability, have every reason to be pleased that they did so. The youngsters deserve patron age. Following will be the make-up of the two National League teams, and their game also starts at 3 30: Pittsburgh Positions. Cleveland's.

KOTHLNG TO SPACE. The Local Colts Have n Close Call Up at nicKrrsport. Sir Guy Hecker and his colts had a narrow escape from defeat at McKeesport yesterday. They won, however, but only bv making lour runs in tho ninth inning. Dunlap did not play, and Youngman was at second and made two errors. Jones pitched for the Pittsburgers and was rapped quite merrily. The McKecsports were to pitch Milbee, but be was taken suddenly ill at noon, and little Jack Baker was substituted, and the way he did pitch was a cautiou, for the Pittsburgs only had two hits off bim up to the sixth inning, and the score stood 7 to 2 in favor of theJIc Keesports. In the ninth inning, when the Pittsburgs went in for their half, they had to mae four runs to win the game. This they did. but it was the closest that they will be called on to losing a game this year. There was a man on third and one on second and one out when the batter hit a hot one to the left of Freddy Miller, the short stop, who was playing in close, and who made a wonderful stop with his one hand while ling flat ou his back, and also threw to first while lj ing on the ground and retired the batter, but the man on third scored and tied the game, and the runner on second got to third. Old reliable Paul Hines came to the bat, and after two strikes hit a base hit over third base and won the game. Score: M'KEKSP'ItT.Il P A K PITTEBCKG.

The Republi can primaries will be held in Blair county to-day, and the candidates are busy. mrECIAL TILIGBAM TO Till DISPATCH. 1 Middletown, April 18. Detectives are in search of Eev. Z. C. Mower, pastor of the United Brethren Church at Intercourse, Pa. The charge against him is forgery, the prosecutor being A. K. Knrtz, a wealthy farmer of near that place. Kurtz alleges that the reverend gentleman forged his name to a note, and increased the amount to one on which his signature was genuine. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, as it is believed he has gone to Philadelphia and can easily be fonnd. A note held at the Gap National Bank shows plainly that the orig inal amount was $10, which was afterward raised to SH0. Kurtz admits his signature to this note, but another at the Lancaster County National Bank is alleged to be a forgery throughout. The fugitive preacher is of middle age, and has been in the ministry for 18 years, up to his dismissal a few days ago. He presided over charges in Dauphin and Lancaster counties, and elsewhere in Southeastern Pennsylvania, where he is very well known. He comes from a Dauphin county family of preachers, his father and five brothers having worn the cloth creditably for years. FLEMING'S APPOINTMENTS.
