' Boston, May 23. The Boston beat the
Pittsburgs again to-day by a large margin,
and "it was due entirely to errors by the
Smoky City lads poor fielding, for the latter
earned all of their runs. Old man Galvin
was given a warm reception, and he pitched
a fine game, but -was not well supported.
Honlon, Carroll and Fields batted in three
runs scored by the visitors.
The game opened well for the Pittsburgs,
and for six innings the score remained a tie,
and they were looked upon as winners. The
Gelding cf both Bides was sharp and at times
brilliant, but in the seventh inning Captain
Hanlon's men went to pieces, and four un
earned runs were scored by the Bostons.

A TRIFLE WORSE.
Tbe Colli Get Bndly Done Dp Again by tbe
New Yorks 3Ir. Schmidt a Victim Re
sults of Other Old League Games,
IsrECIAt TELEOKAU TO TBI DISrATCH.1
New Yore, May 23. It was a most dismal
day for baseball to-day, and the 216 cranks at
tbe Polo Grounds shivered all through the
game. It clouded up in the sixth Inning and
grew so dark that the ball could hardly be seen.
Tbe .New Yorks were held at bay by Schmidt
for fonr innings, and as the score was a tio it
looked as it the tamo would remain close and
exciting. But from the fourth inning the New
Yorks pounded Schmidt's curves pretty freely.
Schmidt was so slow in his delivery that Miller
conld not get the ball in time to catch a man
stealing a base.
Welch pitched for four innings, after which
he retired in favor of Sharrott. The visitors hit
Welch hard in one inning, getting six singles,
which, aided by an error, gave them four runs.
Not a safe hit Mas made off Sharrott until the
ninth, vhen he eased up and was touched for
four hits, a total of seveu bases. For the Pitts
burgs Miller did some good work with the
stick. Score: .

THE
MOKE FROM SPALDING
The Chicago President Means lo Fight
to the Bitter End.
HE REPEATS SUME OLD HISTORY.
Figures Showlns How the Old League is
Having the Best of It.
WHAT THE END OF IT WILL LIKELY BE
Chicago, May 23. "I remarked some
time ago," remarked Mr. Spaldiug, of the
Chicago League club, to-day, "that the in
terest in professional baseball in leading
cities was dying out. I bave seen nothing
since to change my, views. I want to call
your attention to the extraordinarily poor
attendance at the games abroad in the
East for the past week. The eight games of
ball played by the Players' and tho National
Leagues do not draw out half as many people
as four games of tbe League were wont to do
in the past."
"vVhat are you going to do about It?"
"Going to do about it? "Well. Pll tell you
what I am going to dd about It. I am going to
stick In tnls flght until every one of my League
partners desert me.
I AM FOK WAK,
uncompromising and without quarter. I was
opposed to It at first, but now I want to fight
until one of us drops dead. Mind you, the
wore has not yet begun. The National League
was built up by 14 years of the most assiduous
labor. We bad one grand enemy to fight.
That enemy was demoralization. It faced us
in many guises crooked baseball, dirty work
on the field, rough elements, want of dis
cipline, lack of confidence. We met tbem all,
cut our hands a little, but we won. Now we
have to face the old problem again. But as yet
only the opening guns have been fired. The
slaughter is yet to come. And the League Is
prepared for slaughter.
'U can see clearly the outline of the future.
If the Players' League lasts there will be 25
cent baseball. Sunday games, beer will flow in
the grand stands, and the industry will be
ruined by utter destruction as the grand finale
of the plan. The League. I promise you, will
bold on until it is dashed to pieces against the
rocks of rebellion and demoralization. I stand
ready to go out ot the business and wash my
bands clean of it all when the hour comes."
"And you see no salvation t"
"None except the withdrawal of the Players'
League from the field."
SOME FIGURING.
Mr. Spalding then figured up the attendance
at the games played thus far this week. His
figures showed that in 13 games the League had
an aggregate attendance of 15,126 people, while
in 14 games tbe Brotherhood drew 13,127, an av
erage for the League of l,163,and for the Broth
erhood of 937. The average for the League
alone for tbe past two or three years was about
3,400. At an average of SO cents per bead, and
not allowing for tbe large complimentary list,
the average receipts per club per game in the
four best-paying League cities in the country
this week has been S234, or about enough to
pay traveling expenses, advertising and other
incidentals of putting the game on the field, ex
clusive of salaries.
Now." said Mr. Spalding, in conclusion, "I
am going to make a prediction. If it should
rain On Decoration Day. the PlaverB' League
will find it difficult to sail their craft through
June. That is to say tbe moneyed men who
are waiting for Decoration Day to repay them
for their losses will have had enough sport to
satisfy them for life. In case It should not
rain on Decoration Day, then I'll postpone tho

July 4, the Players' League will exDlode like a

Should it rain on neither day, and tbe attend

BBTJSH AND DAY.
Tbe llooalcr Ex-Prrsldent In New York
and Meets Two Mognntei.
New York, May 21 President Brush, of
tbe late Indianapolis club, and Frederick K.
Stearns, of tho old Detroit club, woro In tho
city yesterday. The preienco of those woll
known baseball men hero at tho samo tlmo.wlth
the recent visit of President Robinson, of tho
Cleveland (N L.) club, has cauiod quite a
little stir In camp. Presidont Day, howover,
assured a Sun reporter last night that their
visit had no baseball ilgnlQcanco whatovcr.
"Mr, Brush." laid President Day, "still holdi
bit old boys In rcveronco, and at bit visit to tho
city will tako up tho greater part of threo or
four days bo will most likely attond tho Polo
Grounds moro than onco. Mr, Htenrui In lioro
on private business. Ho It itlll quite enlhui
Initio ovor tho gamo, and I havon't tho tllghtoit
doubt but that ho would llko to see his city in
tho National League rank again, but I caa not
seo whoro Detroit or any other city has a ghost
of k ohanco to bo admitted tho way things look
at present. President Robinson Is thoroughly
satisfied with tho outlook at Cloveland. but
noltticr of the opposing clubs have had tbe
right opportunity to slzoup tbo situation In
that city."
"Then there U no Itnmedlato cauie for a meet
ing of the Natloutl League;" asked tbe re
porter. "None whatever."
"What It your opinion of tho situation, Mr.
DayT"
"Tho proipcctslaro not very flattering, I mutt
say. It Inokt at If tho Interest In tbe gamo was
receding fast. Tho people are not turning out
at of yore, that's sure. why. take the attend
ance, for instance, at tbe four Brothorhood
f:amet on Wodnosday. They numberod, 1 bo
lovo, about 0,000. Wo would bavo considered
that a mere ilea bite last year If ihero were no
more persons than that at one gamo on the
Polo Grounds, under fair conditions of course,
Thore's jtast this thing about It, and tako tbo
St; Paul .club, whoso franchise, 1 believe, It
for sale, as an example. Unlets the attendance
grows better the smaller clubs cannot survive
With a surtelt of playors on tbo market, and
poor patronage, salaries mutt necessarily came
down. Thero's no douht ou that point."
President Day said that ho had received a
letter yesterday from Mr. Soden, of tho Boston
(N. L.) club. Ho states that his club Is as
solid as a rock, and that no fears need bo ex
pressed as to tbe future condition of tho club.
"Chicago seems to he doing poorly by the
Natloual League club?" queried tbe reporter.
"Oh, that's notlilntc." smilingly replied Mr.
Day. "Tbo fact Is, the Chicago Jclub could llvo
for three years and not make a cent."
It Is stated that a scheme such as tho follow
ing Is to be carried oul: The games that the
New York League club Is scheduled to play in
Pittsburg and Cleveland this seasoy will bo
played in Indianapolis instead. Everything
points to this arrangement, and negotiations
are now going on for tbe change of dates. The
garnet would undoubtedly draw large crowds
in tbe Hoosler capital, especially when it is
considered that the New York team is now
much stronger than the Indianapolis team of
last year. Tbo present falling off in attendance
at Pittsburg and Cleveland is another reason
why tbe new arrangement has been suggested,
and it is more than probable that all the clubs
interested will give a ready assent.

LOVE KNOCKED OUT.
Sir. Pognrty nod Illx Friends Depose the
Philadelphia P. L. President.
TSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia, May 23. The trouble In tbe
local Brotherhood camp botween center fielder
Fogarty and Prosident Love culminated to-day
In a conclusion among tho stockholders that
Mr. Fogarty's services were more essential
than Mr. Love's and that the last named gen
tleman should be deposed from the Presi
dency. To this end Director Wagner has ob
tained control of sufficient shares of tho stock,
and unless Mr. Love steps down and out, or. In
other words resigns, be will at the regular
meeting to be held next Tuesday be forced to
vacate.
In answer to a telegram from Fogarty, Al
Johnson of Cleveland, and tbe prims mover
in tbo present base ball war and the instigator
of the Brotherhood, arrived in town this morn
ing, and a meeting between him and Fogarty
and his friends was held at once. After hear
ing all the details of the trouble, Mr. Johnson
asked Fogarty what he was going to do. and in
reply was told so long as Mr. Love was at the
head of the club he would not play ball. Tbe
information was then imparted that Mr Love
had refused to resign at the last meeting, to
which Mr. Johnson replied that whatever Mr.
Wagner thought about it should be done, as he
holds a controlling interest.
Mr. Wagner, it was said, would be perfectly
satisfied if Mr. Love resigned, and that if be
did not tbe necessary means to force him to do
so'would be taken. It was under' these con
ditions and by the earnest solicitations of Mr.
Johnson that Fogarty again consented to take
the place on the team which has been vacant
sinco May 13. His appearanco on the field at
practice was greeted with applause, and when
be came to tbe bat first time be met with a per
fect ovation.
LAW WILL STOP THEM.
Virginia Legal Authorities Say Sullivan and
JncUson Cannot Fialit There.
Richmond. Va., May 23. The announcement
in dispatches seut out from .New York to the
effect that John L. Sullivan had agreed to
come to Virginia and fight Joe McAullffe for
J10.000 in July and the negro Jackson for $25,000
in August, has attracted attention among the
officials in this State.
It was represented that Mr. J. M. Bailey, one
of the corporators of the Virginia Sporting As
sociation, whose charter of incorporation was
rnsbed through the Legislature in its closing
hours last session, had a conference with Sulli
van, wltb the rcsultmentioned.
Mr. Bailey and those interested with him In
bis association claim that under their charter
tbey have a perfect right to have on their
grounds prize fights and other sports in viola
tions of the laws of Virginia. If any arrange
ment has been made with Sullivan and other
prize fighters to slug'Mn this State. It re
mains to be seen whether they will be permit
ted to do so. The unanimous sentiment of
tbe authorities and the people is against it.
Some of the best lawyers here claim that a
fatal detect in tho act Incorporating tbe com
pany upon whose grounds it is proposed that
Sullivan is to fight is tbe failuro to cite the law
which it claims to bave repealed. This is a
constitutional requirement, and will be shown
when the matter comes before the courts. Un
der the present laws prize fighting is punish
able by Imprisonment in the State prison for
not less tban five years and a fine of 81,000. If
Sullivan or any other prize fighter comes to
this State for the purpose ot pounding eaoh.
other they aro almost certain to be arretted as
soon as they pnt foot on Virginia soil, and the
validity of the chartor will then be tested.
Lots of Fun To-Dny.

"Dunny," as bo Is famllliarly called, Is ac
knowledged to be one of the greatest second
batemen in tbe country, and his presence will
greatly strengthen tbe New York team. Here
tofore Dunlap has been paid a larger salary
than any innelder in tbe business, and it was
only because of tho high salary ho demanded
that he did not sign with a Playors' Lcaguo
club early in the season. Dunlap will make
his first appearance with tho Giants to-morrow
and will play short. Whitney will probably re
sume third base, and Hatfield bo retained as
substitute. Both Dunlap and the Giants are
to be congratulated. A". Y. World. Dunlap
was a "played-out stiff" when he signed with

Leechburg, a Prohibition Borough,
agitated Over the
ORIGIKiL PACKAGE BUSINESS.
A Carload of Cincinnati Beer at the-Depot
to be Offered for Sale.
ALL THE SEWS FKOif SEARBI TOWKS
rSPZCIAL TELEGBAH TO THE DISrATCB.1
Leechburo, May 23. Ever since that
famous Supreme Court decision on original
packages, there has been a great deal of talk
here, on account of the report that respon
sible parties had made, or were making, ar
rangements to start just such a store here.
The report was not believed, however, and
the matter rested at that point The report
was correct, however, as 'the formal an
nouncement was made to-day that the busi
ness will be opened here to-morrow. The orig
inal package men are here, and will open
up their prominent stand. The title over
the doors will be "The Cincinnati Brewing
Company." Charles Silverman, formerly of
Apollo, and well known in this section of the
country, will act as the agent of the brewing
company.
This place bas been for a long time a strict
prohibition town, and for that reason there bas
grown np a strong sentiment on both sides of
tbe question. The store will certainly be
opened, and that to-morrow morning, and It Is
the avowed intention to keep It open. The
temperance people aro very bitter, and there
will be music in the air sure when the first
liquor sold in this place for years is dealt out
over the counter. This is no doubt the first
origiual package room opened up in this State,
and the result will be closely watched, as upon
Its success or failure depend the fate of proba
bly many hundred stores of that sort in pros
pect In the many prohibition and local option
towns in this portion ot the county, outside of
the effect in other parts of tbe State.
A meeting of the citizens of the borough was
held to-night to devise means to nut a stop to
it if possible. A committee of 20 influential
citizens was appointed and Instructed to make
an arrest for every package sold, and obtain
the best legal advice with a view of suppressing
tbe business.
Excitement is at fever heat, and opinions
differ widely. As It looks now, a turioua legal
battle is on hand, and both parties will bave
plenty ot encouragement.

avonuo mot last night in tho Bomcrt ttrcet
school homo to protest against tho nitesv
mentt for tho propoted ttrnightenlng of
"Webster avonuo from Fulton to Kobcrtt

JainctW.MoMillonprosldctlnml'W. S. Mo
Cutcheon acted at Secretary. Mr. MeMll
Ion announced tbo object of tho meeting.
The intended Improvement Is but a couple
ot blocks In length aud the damages for
property taken, cte., amount to tOJ.000.
'J his is aliened in boneuti on all abutting
property irora Fulton ttreet to Thirty-third
street, as a general improvemont. Tho
citizens object to the asseuiuciit, claiming
that tbey aro not benefited by tho Improve
ment by reason o' tbe short stretch im
proved. Counoilman McEldownoy, of the Thir
teenth ward, said he would do what ho
could In Councils to have tho report of the
Board of Viewers set atlde.
"W, J. McKeever announced that at tho
meeting of citizens in tbe Eleventh ward
school houso resolutions opposing the as
sessment bad been adopted and a committee
appointed to take" steps toward having tho
report of tho viewers set aside.
John S. Wilson, Esq., said the citizens
should object to the Improvement. It would
not be a benefit to them unless Webster ave
nue was widened to a uniform width of GO
feet down to Grant street, thus making it a
thoroughfare of some account. The viewers
have allotted him $7,400 for property of his
to be taken, but he does not propose to ac
cept that amount.
Mr. McMillen said tbe street should be
widened to Smithfield street; then it would
become a thoroughfare like Filth avenue.
On motion the action of tbe Eighth and
Eleventh ward citizens at their meeting was
indorsed.
James A. HcKain suggested that all
property holders who could, should be pres
ent at the meeting of Councils to lend the
support of their presence in having the
viewers' report set aside.
Upon motion of Mr. HcCune the Council
men of the Eighth, Eleventh ann Thir
teenthwards were requested to vote against
the viewers' report.
At adjournment those present signed a
petition to Councils to have the report set
aside. Another petition to have the ordi
nance for the straightening of the street re
pealed is also in circulation.

An Allegheny Hone That Can't be Coa
trolled by Oao Man.
Residents of Federal ttreet hill, Alle
gheny, aro terrorized almost daily by the
antics of a horse belonging to a huckster
named Gilchrist. When the animal is un
hitched, it seems, its owner is unable to pre
vent it Irom running away.
Scarcely a day passes that at least one lit
tle child is not rescned from the path of the
runaway horse, which cavorts over side
walks and through streets and alleys until
it is recaptured, and it seems only a ques
tion of time when a serious accident will
occur.
