Czhczssati. Aiay 10. Between showers, and
in the presented 2,313 rain-braving enthusiasts,
the Beds defeated the Pittsburg team this
afternoon. It was a slow
contesLfor Kirtly Baker took
his time in pitching. Captain
Hecker was badly hurt in
the seventh inning, when
Holliday slid back, and
knocked out Keeker's knee.
The accident was due to care
lessness, for three men were
out before it occurred.
Hecker had to be carried
from the field. The Beds'
run in the first inning was
perhaps due to the generosity
of Dunlap, king of second
basemen, who had a chance
for a double play, but he
merely walked over to sec
ond, and was content with
one our.
DUNLAP "WAS KIXD.
This kindness enabled Marr, who had been
men his base on balls, to reach third, and he
scored by a neat slide on a little bluff to catch
Beard. After McPhee had struck out in the
third and he had been cared by a muff, the
threatened rain came, and it was 20 minutes be
fore play was resumed. Two steals and a passed
ball enabled McPhee to complete the circuit.
The muddysphere was hard to handle and
Baker gavo "Beard and Holliday their bases.
Then Reilly plunked the ball to Baker and
Holliday was caught at the plate.
CHEERED BAKER.
There were loud voices raised In acclaim
from the Hoosier quarters when Baker first
picked up a bat and strode to the rubber. A
handsome basket of flowers was carried out to
him. Young Mr. Baker did not respond with a
hit, but he did put up a nasty little fly that Mr.
Rhines had to strain his nnck to get. There
was some sharp fielding in both the fourth and
fifth innings, and gifts to La Roque and Roat
simply afforded chances for beautiful double
plays. Pittsburg's ragged work is responsible
for the block of three which the Reds made in
the fifth inning. Sunday saved a shut out by
his steal of third and Berger's hit. The score:

HO COMPROMISE.
President A. G. Spalding Talks Plainly
About the New League.
CHICAGO, May 10. President Spalding, of the
Chicago National League club, returned from
New York this morning and denied emphatically
that there had been any meeting whatever of the
National League In that city. Mr. Spalding, how
ever, had news of decided interest to impart.
To a reporter he said: "There will be no com
promise no chauge of schedule, no change of cir
cuit in the National League. The eight
clubs that now represent the old organi
zation are In .the field to "the finish. It
Is not a question of one month, one
season, or one year It Is a question that Involves
the entire future or the national game. The
Pittsburg club will finish the season, at least, so
lam assured by Its directors and stockholders.
The Cleveland club will do the same and as for
New York IUs in as solid financial condition as
Clilcago. it matters not to the National League
whether it plays to cmptT benches or not. For
the time being, the Interest in baseball Is dead
and no organization is drawing a cent. This con
dition or affairs Will PIKItlnn. nn.ll Ana a-.Ka
.oth-r of the organizations now fighting for
iTiii .iWni.,.. uicwau. irom iuisout.it
will simply be a case of dog cat dog and the dog
with bulldog tenacity will live thelongest. Money
will be necessary In plenty to carry on the fight
and the National League Is prepared
to..B..iII:to " .I""" whenever necessary.
It will never mljs a pay day. nor will Its ball
5laT.e.rSn, -rhl0iMlamor.at aTynie Tor what Is
duethem. The Players1 League Is no longer the
Brotherhood. It Is an organization or specu
lators rrom Wall street, who, back or the 100 ball
players, are making an effort to win somemonev
from the game. rhe fight Is not between the
Brotherhood and the National League. It Is be
tween the national agreement clubs, comprising
upward of J.O00 Mayers, and the sneculators back
of the 100 revolting members of the erstwhile
Brotherhood or Baseball Players.11
Mr. Spalding said the challenge rrom Captain
rMnidfT tn the Chlearo Nitinn,! .,; ..in.
would not be accented. He said:
The Plavers1 League has killed th rim. it
Is not true, however, for all time, in two years I
there will be a renewed Interest In the sport, but
the National League will then have the field to
Itself.1

.-SPECIAL TELEDRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
McKeesport, Pa., May 10. Alex Voss, the
crack first baseman of the McKeesport club, has
gone. The clnb could not retain him as a player
after releasing him as manager, as Its rules would
not permit it to pay the salary he drew. Could he
have accepted the salarv as first baseman that the
association could fix he would be retained. The
association says that it released him because he
did not take the proper care of the players that he
should, nor did he care for the interests of the
owners of the club.
The baseball public sent a large petition to the
association asking It to retain Voss as a plarcr.
which goes to show that he was a ravorlte and a
goodplaver. He goes to Cincinnati. Lancer will
play first base until the clnb secures a manager.

THE GREAT MATCH TO COME.

tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
Lokdon, May 10. The tennis match be
tween Pettltt, of Boston, and P. Latham,
marker of the Queen's Club, Kensington, took
place at the club this afternoon In the presence
of a large number of spectators. The game was
very interesting. In view ot Pettitt's coming
match with Saunders, of Dublin, for tbe cham
pionship. At Manchester Saunders defeated
Latham fairly easily, though giving him half
SO. Pettitt to-day gave Latham 15 only, so that
Latham had only to win to make Saunders'
chance look good. One match was the best of
five sets, and Latham began very promisingly,
played cooly and reaching four games to three
and five to four. Then
PETTITT FORCED MATTERS.
Pettitt began forcing hard, and soon won the
set by six games to fire. By tremendous forcing
Pettltt won the next set apparently as ha
pleased, by six games to three. The next set
Pettltt didn't force so persistently. There
were long rests, and Latham finally won the
set by six to four. In the fourth set Pettltt
started forcing again harder than ever, and
won game after game until he reached five
love. Latham, however, won two games before
Pettitt won his sixth, finishing with a stroke in
the Grille, and winning the match by three sets
toono.
STILL IN DOUBT.
So far as the championship match is con
cerned, we are not much wiser than before.
There is not the least doubt but that Pettitt
could have given Latham half-thirty and won
easily, as Sannders did. 'Latham was quite un
able to deliver a service, but could not be
forced and the fate of the great match will de
pend entirely on whether Saunders can do this
or not If Saunders is the least bit off his game,
Pettitt will win to a certainty. After the match
between Latham and Pettitt. Mr. Fiske War
ren, of the Boston Athletic Clnb, plaed Mr. E.
B. Curtis for the right to challenge Sir Edward
Gray for the English amateur championship.
Warren returned a great number of balls, in
cluding forces for the dedans, but be lacked
accuracy, and Curtis won by 3 sets to love, the
first at 6 to 2, the second 6 to 3, the third 6 to L
WOEKED IT VERY FT5E.
English Turfites Make n Good Winning
Mroko on the Chester Cap.
IBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
LtSDOX, May 10. -The winning or the Chester
cup on Wednesday by Tyrant was a coup by the
same party that nursed Goldseeker for hs victory
a year or two ago. It was only at tbe last, when
the stable commission had finished, that the pub
lie plunged on him. Vasis(as, the second horse,
had been tbe first favorite until the morning of
tbe races; but his additional weight prevented his
making a close race with the winner.
The Derby race odds on burefoot have extended
to 7 to 4, and very few bookmakers care about
taking even these. His victory Is regarded as a
foregone conclusion. Philomel, who started a
favorite for the Jubilee stakes to-day. was hope
lessly beaten, and the Imp, who was second favor
ite, at 5 to 1 against him, only won by a head irom
TheopMlus, who started the third favorite at 13 to
2agalust him. That unlucky horse Vaslstaswas
third, and only a neck behind. It seems to be his
file to run either second or third In ail his races.
The stakes amount to 3,000 sovereigns, and 17
horses started for prize.
A BIG BHLIABD VEHTUEE.
Harry Davis Bays 16 Tnblee to Pat Into the
London Theater.
Pittsburg Is to have a first-class billiard estab
lishment without delay. Yesterday Harry Davis,
the hustling manager of the London Theater,
closed a deal with the Brunswlck-Balke firm, of
Cincinnati, to have 16 first-class tables put Into
tbe theater. Mr. Davis will at once proceed to
renovate the Interior of his theater, and make It
tbe equal of any billiard establishment In tbe
country. The building is certainly big enough,
and tbe enterprise cannot well be other than a
big success. It has often been wondered whether
or not billiard rooms on the scale proposed by M.-.
Davis would be a success. The venture, however,
under bis management Is sure to popularize that
verv fushlonahlp frame.
1 he opening day will be fixed as soon as possible,
and Jacob Schaener and Fran; Ives have already
been engaged to play a match on the opening
day.

Bnsebnll Notes.
Manager HEcker Is practicing pitching every
day.
Zachabias is not giving satisfaction as an um
pire. there is a letter at this office for Bennle Ste
phens. Beckley and Miller are two great favorites in
Chicago.
old Joe Batttn Is hitting the ball hard for the
Syracuse Stars.
Jim O'Rourke says the decision in the Pickett
case is ajust one.
THE first League club to win roar straight games
was the Phillies rrom Boston.
The Pittsburg P. L. clnb Is having very hard
luck, indeed, so far this trip.
Bubdock has had his arm injured, and be will
not be able to play ror some time.
Hick Carpentee is playing a very strong
game with the Kansas City Club.
Buck Ewino'S team cau-ed something of a sur
prise by winning a game yesterday.
THE colts put np a very poor game yesterday,
and as usual Baker pitched very well.
HATFIELD and Wkltney have exchinied po-
sltlons, ss a trial, and so far It has given satisfac
tion. GilkswIII likely be a regular pitcher for the
Cleveland N. L. team during the balance of the
season.
Both teams win be here to play on Wednesday.
That conflicting date surely could have been
avoided.
While in Chicago, Manager Hanlon had a
very sore leg and had to have a runner to go on
bases ror him.
IT will be a great loss to tbe local N. L. club ir
Becker's sprained ankle disables him ror any
length of time.
President n. E. Young says that League um
pires have no authority to remit fines alter they
are once imposed.
"Pbetzel" getzein was certainly in great
form yesterday against bis old colleagues, Glass
cock, Denny, etc.
Only once this season has Anson, the greatest
batter In the League, made two hits In one game,
and that was on Wednesday.
Anson says that, with the team he has at pres
ent, he could win the majority or games in a series
with any team in the country.
As soon as the majority or the League clubs slg
niry their desire to adopt the double umpire sys
tem President Young will reorganize his staff.
No shortstop in the Brotherhood, not even ex
cepting John Ward, Is playing a better game at
short field than Shlndle, orthe Phlladelphlas.
It was stated yesterday that tho receipts of the
local P. L. club have not been sufficient to pav the
salaries so far. Tne players have been paid, how
ever. Eiteljosg, ot the Chicago League team, has
gone temporarily to Join Catcher Lane or the
Evansvllle, to help out Manager Harringtons
team.
Bain prevented the two games at Chicago yes
terday and the P. L. game at Cleveland. The
Syracuse-Rochester and Toledo-St. Louis games
were also prevented.
Er Williamson, it Is now claimed, will not be
able to play ror some days yet on account or a very
sore rlgnt arm. Williamson's ball playing days,
many think, are over.
Pitcher Sanders has reported ror duty to tbe
Philadelphia Players1 League cluo. He Is in good
condition, and will be ready to do his share ot the
twirling next week.
Kbines, the Cincinnati colt pitcher, who is
doing sucn good work, would have been with the
local N. L. clnb had that man named Harry Smith
acted rairly in the matter.
Suit will likely be brought against Foreman,
or the Cincinnati Club, upon hts appearance in
Philadelphia, to compel him to lire up to his con
tract with the Brotherhood Club.
What Gunning and Matthews do not know
about umpiring a game or baseball would fill a
book, ir they are exponents or the double-umpire
system, it's time to return to the one-man
style. Exchange.
The Southern League may be revived. A meet
ing will be held at Birmingham Saturday. New

pected to make up the circuit.

lived at Louisville last year. That team once went
30 days without winning a game.
And now Vonder Ahe steps to the front with
the story that the Pittsburg N. L. club will rejoin
the American Association. It Is about time to
give some other club a whirl. Enough has been
said about Pittsburg to last the season.
"BUCK" EWING and the rest of the New York
team are satisfied that Hatfield has tried his best
to play short, but has come far short of the mark.

Presidents Hobinson and Johnson, of
Cleveland, have made a wager of 8500 that their
teams will outdraw each other at home. The
terms of the bet were reduced to writing, and
witnessed by the Mayor. The articles provide
that Mayor Gardner, a League director and a
Brotherhood director are to be the Judges as to
the attendance, uely paid admissions are to be
counted. Exchange.
A. G. Spaldi.sg sayst "The most outrageous
misstatements hare gone out as to the Brother
hood attendance. In Philadelphia 17,000 was re
ported as tbe attendance or the opening game of
the Players1 League, whereas 1 am reliably in
formed that settlement was made on the basis of
about 7,000. The New York Players1 Club reported
an attendance of 12,000 at their opening, mostly
compllmentarles, and the next dar they had 700.

A dispatch from Columbus says: Presldnet
Vonder Ahe to-dav signed J. B. Munym, the
catcher released by Columbus. Sammy Ntchol, the
released outfielder, will go to the Saginaw, Mich.,
club. Von der Ahe released Kinsman, the second
baseman. The Columbus directors at a meeting
Jassed resolutions of confidence in tho ability of
ack Crooks to captain the team, and gave his
enemies notice that he would serve in his present
capacity during the remainder of the season. To
day the resolution was read to the men, and they
were given to understand thaff whatever Crooks
did was law to them without protest.
The Columbus oaseball management began the
wprk of w eedlng out the surplus talent Friday Al
Mays, pitcher; John Munyan, catcher, and Sammy
Nichols, left fielder, were released. Further In
vestigation Into the peculations of the late Secre
tary. Fred W.Newburg, discloses the fact that his
stealing from tbe Columbus Baseball Club last
season amounts to not less than Sa OOO. This figure
Just about covers the amount reported as being
lost on tbe season's play. Over SoOO was stolen at
one time during the last Brooklyn series at Col um
lius. when the pernant depended upon the result
orthe four games and tbe attendance was enor
mous. Newbnrg is in Chicago and will be brought
back.
Manager Buckenbergeb, of Columbus, will
Jrotest all the games his team played list. Louis,
le says: "1 he rules have been changed to read as
follows In regard to the rubber that Is to be used
in tbe pitcher's box: Rule 5 of the National Play
ing Rules of Professional Baseball Clubs Each
corner of this spacs must be marked by a round
rubber plate six Inches In diameter, fixed In the
ground even with the surface. The rule says very
explicitly that the corners must be of rubber. I
discovered last Sunday, " continued the Columbus
manager, "that stone was still being used by Mr.
Von der Abe Instead of rubber, as called lor by
the changes made, and 1 immediately notified Mr.
Von der Ahe that all the games played by my
team In St. Louis would be played unoer protest.
The box at home, as well as the one In LoulsvllI".

BEOTHEfiS IN THE OPPOSING CAMPS.
The Dead Bebel Chieftain Was Kerer Informed of
the Engagement.
The engagement of Miss 'Winnie Davis to
Alfred 'Wilkinson, of Syracuse, K. Y., has
been confirmed. Romantic particulars of
the courtship a re now coming to light. The
affair was kept entirely secret from Jefferson
Davis.
rSPECIAL telegram to the DISPATCH, t
Syracuse, N, Y., May 10. The story of
the courtship and engagement of Miss
"Winnie Davis, "the daughter of the Con
federacy," to Mr. Alfred "Wilkinson, of
this city, reads likea fairy tale. Now that
tbe widow of Jefferson Davis has confirmed
the approaching marriage of her daughter
some of the facts, hitherto suppressed, have
come to the surface and show a prettystate
of things. One in truth that surpasses the
conceptions of even Robert Louis Steven
son. The "wooing of it" covers a period of
three or four years, but in order to fully un
derstand the circumstances connected with
the coming of Miss "Winnie to Syracuse and
her introduction to Mr. "Wilkinson it is
necessary to go back to the year 1826 when
Jeff Davis was a cadet at "West Point.
Among his classmates and chums there
was General "William H. Emory, of the
Nineteenth Army Corps, that did
such brave fighting under Sheridan.
Young Emory and Davis were fast friends,
and this friendship was still further cement
ed by their campaign in the Mexican "War
in 1846.
THE CHANGING TEABS.
"When the great rebellion broke ont, the
two friends found themselves facing each
other on tbe tented field, although for some
time it was feared that General Emory
would follow his old chum into tbe Confed
erate ranks. Indeed Emory's sympathies
with the South militated at first against his
promotion in the Union ranks.
As it was, however, tbe General became a
loyal son of the Stars and Stripes, but the
conflict of feeling made itself felt in his two
sons, Thomas and Campbell. Thomas was
then a student at the University of Virginia,
and when the war broke out he decided to
fight under the Stars and Bars. He, there
fore, enlisted in the Confederate naval ser
vice, and, through the influence of Jeff
Davis, was appoipted surgeon on board
The Florida.
At one time during the war he lived at
Mr. Davis' house in Richmond for some six
months. The Florida was captured near
Brazil, and youngEmory was taken as a
prisoner to Boston, which finished his mili
tary career. The other brother, Campbell,
entered the Union ranks, where he distin
guished himself for his bravery. Thus was
the Emory household divided against it
self.
THE FRIENDSHIP RENEWED.
When the Rebellion closed it was the
most natural thing in the world that Jeffer
son Davis should renew the friendship of
other days. He could not come himself, but
he decided to send his daughter "Winnie to
visit the people he loved so welt. Dr.
Thomas Emory had located in Syracuse. His
fsther and brother Campbell were dead
at the time of Miss Winnie's first visit here.
This visit occurred some four or five years
ago. It was at Dr. Emory's IrBuse that she
first met young Wilkinson, who was on in
timate terms with the Emory family. There
was certainly no affinity, but rather a di
vinity that shaped their ends and brought
them together.
Neither had anything in common. One
was the grandson of the most pronounced of
the abolitionists, the other the dangbter ot
an arch traitor. One came from the North,
from a people that had been trained in the
hardship and vigor of a Northern clime
the other came from the South, from a
people whoie traditions and temperjmeut
were largely due to tbe influence of tbe
Southern clime. Young Wilkinson had
not yet graduated from Harvard, while Miss
Winnie had become a repository of facts in
history and philosophy, and bad earned no
mean reputation as a writer. Indeed, one
of the things that gave her so fascinating a
hold upon Syracuse society was her remark
able education, mainly secured while acting
as amanuensis for her father.
AN ARDENT CHAMPION.
In one or two Northern cities, previous to
her advent here, it was rumored that she had
been received with coldness. This only
served to increase young Wilkinson's atten
tions to Miss "Winnie, and he boldly cham
pioned her cause in Syracuse. A second
visit to Dr. Emory's, a year or two later,
brought Miss Winnie and Mr. "Wilkinson
again together. Their friendship had never
waned during the separation, and they soon
came to hold each other in high regard.
When sbe returned to her Southern home
she was no longer "heart whole and fancy
free." The secret of the lovers was care
fully guarded and the Confederate chieftain
Eassed away quietly, little dreaming that
e would suffer another defeat, this time
not at the hands of Mars, but of Cupid.
Many will doubtless feel that Miss "Winnie
should have taken another course. But,
aside from tbe pain the knowledge of her
approaching marriage would have caused
her father, she felt she was justified in her
actions by her father's own course in mat
ters of love.
Young Davis' romantic elopement with
the daughter of President Zachary Taylor
gave Miss Winnie precedent enough. In
deed. Miss Winnie would not have been
Jeff Davis' daughter if she had not dis
tinguished herself in this wise. It was a
family tradition in the Davis family for
generations, that to capture and carry off in
marriage another man's daughter was honor
able from the days ol Home.
A DETERMINED LOVER.
Jefferson Davis himself had a remarka
ble history in this respect. It was soon
after hia campaign in the Black Hawk
War in 1832 that be determined to marry
the daughter of Zach Taylor, who was then
a Colonel iu the army, in spite of the old
man's opposition and threats. This he did
by the most romantic elopement on record,
and old Zach did not forgive him until
nearly IS years afterward. In 1846 young
Davis joined the regiment to assist
General Taylor in the Mexican war. The
yonng man's great bravery at Buena Vista,
where he introduced the "V" shaped pha
lanx, and succeeded in routing the Mexi
cans, being himself severely wounded in the
engagement, was the means of turning the
old General's anger into admiration.
The present match is one entirely ot love.
Miss Winnie has no fortune. In. fact, thej
old homestead at Beauvoir, Miss., has a
mortgage hanging over it. Mr. WilkicsoD,
in u like manner, has only a moderate in
come, and no future whatever. Some 6 years
ago his father failed iti the banking busi
ness, and only a few thousand dollars was
saved from the wreck. The young man is a
bright and promising lawyer, but is said to
inherit some of his father's eccentricities.
He is in partnership with two other lawyers
here, and makes a specialty of patent law.

' I drink this cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone
Of her eex, the seeming- paragon."
These lines of Pinckney bring before the
mental vision a woman of surpassing beau
ty, challenging admiration and homage.
This sentimental tribute was, no doubt,
worthily bestowed by the poet, but it is a
prosaic fact that large nwnbers of our fair
country-women are deficient in personal
charms, because they do not try and con
quer the disorders peculiar to their sex, and
from which so many of them suffer mar
tyrdom. As it is the ambition of every
woman to look her best, let the afflicted
ones use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
and thus recover their health, without
which there can be no beauty.

gitimate medicine, not a beverage; carefully
compounded by an experienced physician,
