Three victories in one week! Gentlemen, this matter is becoming serious. Something must be done or Hanlon's men trill go up a notch that is, if the Chicago toboggan doesn't break. Yesterday's game at Exposition Park teas what might be called a hummer. For six innings it was full of interest, and the sev enth was full of ginger. Jt was a great game and a great crowd; was present to yell themselves hoarse over the great stick work of the great Pittsburgers. How they did poke the sphere. Van Haltren cave the boys a beseeching look, bat they would not let up and in the sixth inning, when fonr runs had been tacked against him and no one bad retired, he concluded that he had been born in the wrong time of the moon and deeded his title over to Heming, the youthful living skeleton. He toon disposed of the batters and only four hits were made during the balance of the game. AS IT STAKTED. The Brooklyns retired in one, two, three order for the first three innings, but the local men rushed in one run in the second. After two "men were out Robinson hit for three bases and scored on a passed ball. Johnny's people secured their full allotment of runs in the fourth Inning. Ward singled and stole second, and, after VanHaltren new out, scored on Andrew's two-baser. The latter stole third, and scored on Orr'B single. Big Dave got sec ond on Bauer's hit, th rd on Bauer's ont at second and soored on Corcoran's wild throw. Beckley owned the crowd during the fifth inning. He bad been using a new bat given him by one of his friends in the bat business, but in this inning he discorded It "and took: up the one that has grown old in making home runs. He caught a swift on the Dig end, and it went sailing away out of reach of the fielders, and he drove Carroll, who had been resting at second, across the home plate. THEY HAD A FBOLIC. Another run was scored in the sixth, but the balloon aid not really go up until the seventh. It was Fields' turn to draw, and his was a single. Beckley stopped a pitched ball and Fields went to second. Corcoran's prize was a single, and Fields scored, Beckley going to third and Cor coran to second on the play. ThenKuehne singled to Seery. who juggled it, two men scor ing and Knehne going to second A passed ball Eat him on third, and he scored on Hanlon's stngle. At this juncture VanHaltren and Heming changed places. Then Hanlon stole second went to third on Cook's bad throw, and scored on a wild pitch. Robinson struck out, and Quinn went out at first. Staley singled, went to second on Carroll's base on balls, and scored on Fields' single. Beckley flew ont and the fun stopped. The last run was scored in the following inning on an error and two sacri fices. Attendance 2,780 Score rmSBCBQ. b B r a xi bbookltx. b b p a e Carroll.

They Conldn't Hit Terry Other Games. IPrKClAl. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Brooklyn, August 2 The Pittsburg Na tional League club presented a very clever team"acalnst the Brooklyns at Washington Park to-ray, bnt unfortunately they were not in it Their fieldine, as a rule, was clean and effective, bat at the bat they were quite weak. Terry apparently had the cange of every man's capacity as a batsman, and but seven balls were sent to the outfleld, four being safe hits. He was a little wild at times, but at the proper moment he invariably caught the visitors nappinc Baker pitched a good game up to the seventh inning, when the Grooms started in to bat. They scoied four in the seventh and two in the eighth, putting the game out of all doubt for their ode. Sales' claying at short was one of the features of the game. He ac cepted 11 chances and did not miss one of them. LaRoque also plajed a good fieldine ipime, but could not get on to Terry's curves. Attendance, 1,723. The score: BROOKLYX.

AH ALLEGED DEAL Between the Association nnd Players) League Phelps Won Over. rSPECtAL TXLXORAM TO THB BIITATOR.1 Philadelphia, August 1 There h more than surmise in the story ot a probable amal gamation of the Flayers' League and American Association interests. Friends or the Players' Aieague in this city assert positively that Presi dent Zach Phelps.ot the American Association, has been won over to the scheme, and this may account for the dispatch sent out from Louis ville on Wednesday last which said that it was probable that snch a deal wonld be made. Pbelps was in this city several days last .week and he bad several lengthy Interviews with Edward Ricbter. of tbe Sporting Xfe. Mr. Richteris a strong advocate ol the Players' Leaene rights and he favors the proposed amalgamation. The National League officials claim to have Information that the Players Leaene has agents stationed In everv American Association city. Tbisis undoubtedly true as far as Phila delphia is concerned. Arthur Irwin, of the .Boston club, has been here for nearly a month. Arthur said he came here to nurse a strained back. As Arthur's home is in Boston this story was doubted at the time. Bnt now Arthur's back, according to his own confession, has regained its former strength, but be still lingers here. Irwin is ont at the athletic grounds every day and ho has dailv confabs with Secretary W. H. Whittaker and be has had several conferences at night with Man ager Sharsig and President Pennypacker. Mr. Sharsig declines to commit himself posi tively, but his remarks to your correspondent leads to the belief that he is on tbe fence, and is leantnc slightly toward the Players' League. Messrs. Pennypacker and Whittaker positively decline to commit themselves. Arthur Irwin had an interview with Presi dent Von der Abe, of the St. Louis clnb, when be was in this city recently and Von der Ahe asserted positively that Irwin was trying to negotiate a deal with the American Associa tion. This afternoon Manger Sbarsig said regard ing playing with tbe Players' League at the end of the season: "I really cannot say defi nitely whether the clnbs of the two bodies will meet. 1 have heard tbey will, but 1111 informa tion is not from a reliable sonrce, and, to tell the truth, most of what I have learned has been from the newspapers. I understand, however, that there is a movement on foot toward that end, but lam told that the arrange ments are being looked after in tbe West, so that as we are about to start for that part of the coantrv I will be apt to hear of anything that has been done. At tbe same time there may be nothing whatever in the report." TEI-STATE LEAGUE. Yonngstown Gnvn Mclvoriport n Bad Beat Ing Maunfleld Defenta Canton.

Have a Great Go on tho Detroit Tract, AND THE GRAY GELDING "WINS The Great Record of Hand S. in a Baca Iqaaled bj the Stalliou. THE TUEP ETENT OP THK SEASON. Detroit, Mich., August 2. One of the grandest and most interesting trotting races ever witnessed took place this afternoon at the Detroit Driving Park between George H. Middleton's, of Chicago, gray gelding, Jack, and Senator Stanford's bay stallion, Palo Alto, A pleasant day warm, but favorable to racing, a hard, smooth track and no wind combined to make to-day a grand one for a speed contest. It was really a trifle warm for spectators, still nearly 4.B00 people passed through the turnstiles, and it is safe to say that hardly one of them failed to do some cheering. Not only wero the social and mercantile leaders ot the city there, but other portions of the State contrib uted to the attendance. The original date was July 26, but it was afterward changed to August 2. To-day's Cleveland boat brought over scores of horsemen bent on seeing the struggle. Nor was there any disappointment as far as tbo racing was concerned, for Jack won honestly. and Palo Alto added laurels to his crown by equaling Maud S in a race, by breaking both the stallion and track trotting race records. Jack is a gTay gelding 7 years old and sired by Pilot medium, dam Carrie Russell by Magna Charta. His mark of 2:15 he eqnallful to-day and will no doubt lower in tbe skilled bands of his driver. Bud Doble. Palo Alto, 2:1 Is a bay stallion 8 years old, a son of tbo famous Electioneer, dam Dame Winnie by Planet, by Revenue. Hs is driven by Charles Marvin, manager of Senator Stanford's farm and horses. THE HORSES APPEAR. Jack's appearance on the track was the signal for applause and he jogged alone without a boot or weight on any foot. A little later came Palo Alto, the animal belne; attired like a war rior, with knee tendon and quarter boots and toe weights in front and shin boots behind. In the judges' stand were the following officials of the race: D. J. Carapau, starting judge; John S. Steiner, of Detroit, and W. J. ijanis, of Terre Haute, judges; Governor W". R. Merriam, of St. Paul, and F. Dell. Robinson, of Cleveland, timers. Tbe betting before the first heat was lively, with Palo Alto as a favorite. In the auctions Palo Alto commanded 8100 against $00. Hlckok and Doble flipped a coin for position, and Hlckok won, giving Palo Alto the pole. It was a trifle after 2:15jo'clock when the horses scored the first time. They tried It again, bnt Palo Alto was too far ahead and they were called back. On the tblrd attempt tbe word was given ana tbey got away, with the stallion half a length ahead. JACK GOES AHEAD. On the turn Palo Alto led by a length, but just as he neared tbe quarter pole he left his feet, and, altbough be settled quickly. Jack went by the quarter a length ahead. Jack held tbe pole on the back stretch, and nearly two lengths separated the two at tbe half. Palo Alto showed great speed around the turn, and they were on even terms at the three-quarters. When they entered the stretch everybody arose to see the errand finish, but Palo Alto again broke, this time very badly, and tbe gray celd inc took a big lead.finishing an easy winner, as Marvin laid Palo Alto up. The time was 2d Mntuals paid 9 70. Tbe book odds before tbe second heat were S3 to S5 against Palo Alto, and the money on Jack. It was changed, however, and nothing was f ;iven aeainst Palo Alto, while but 3 to 5 was aid on Jack. In the auctions Jack brought 8100 to Palo Alto S64. The betting was brisk. THE SECOND START. They scored twice, and tbe start was as good as it could be. Palo Alto went around tbe turn alongside Jack, and not until the qnarter did tbey change their team-like appearance, Palo Alto leading by a nose. Jack broke on tbe back stretch, and Palo Alto took a Ions; lead. Jack bettered bis position a trifle at the half, bnt on the turn three open lengths divided them. It was the same at the three-quarter and into the stretch. Jack made a great finish, but Palo Alto was going just about as fast, and won by two lengths, in 2:13. This time the venerable Marvin came in for applause, and Palo Alto bad beaten the record of the track in a race, beaten the stallion rec ord in a race, and equaled Maud S' race mile. Mutuals paid S3 40. Betting took another shift on tbe third heat, and Jack sold at but 531 to $100 for Palo Alto. No odd were laid against Palo Alto, bnt 7 to 5 was given against the gelding. A BEAUTIFUL START. They both shot out as bullets as they cot the word on the first attempt and Palo Alto broke on entering tbe turn again on the lower end of it, Jack showing first at the quarter by six open lengths. On the back stretch the stallion be gan closing up and diminished Jack's lead to four lengths at the half. Palo Alto continued to move on the lower turn and lapped Jack on the third qnarter. They entered the stretcb nearly together. Jack having what advantage there was. It was a great race home, but Palo Alto could not keep up with Jack, the gelding winning in 2:15V by three-quarters of a length, with Palo Alto's nose at his flank. Mutuals paid, SI2 80. Palo Alto was the favorite in the fonrth heat, notwithstanding tbe fact that tbe gelding had tbe better of it. With the Son of Electioneer selling at 3100, the pride ot Michigan bronght but Sol to 72. and in the books even money was laid against Jack, while 13 to So was offered against Palo Alto. JACK WINS IT. Jack had a length the better of it on the start, but Palo Alto was soon beside him, and tbey were yoked on the turn. Just as they were about to fly by the quarter Palo Alto broke and came to almost a standstill, Jack gaining two lengths. It was a horse race on the back stretch, Palo Aito gaining half a length on Jack and again breaking. This gave the gelding another good lead, but Palo Alto chased him so fast around the lower turn that tbe gelding broke. Jack recovered In an in stant, and had two good lengths at the three quarters. Palo Alto was drawing nearer all the while, and they trotted down the stretch at a seemingly lightning-like gait, but the gelding had too much of a lead, and tbe bay stallion was beaten a length. Tbe time was 2:16, and the mntuals paid Sll 90. Doble was roundly cheered lor landing Jack a winner. THE SUMMABY.

Bailey, Blawell and Carmnck Secure Prlz:s. The East End was ablaze with red fire and excitement last night, the occasion being the first annual parade of the Keystone Bicycle Club. The streets were lined with people who cheered and cheered the wheelmen as they passed over the route laid out. Fully75 wheel men were in line and about -40 of the wheels were decorated with lanterns, flowers, etc The wheelmen formed on Buena Vista street, and previous to tbe start of tbe parade an award of prizes was made. It was the original intention only to award one prize to the hand somest decorated tandem, bnt tbe turnout of handsomely decorated wheels was so large that the members of the club in their enthusiasm decided to give three prizes, one for tandems and two for the handsomest decorated single safetys. The first prize for sinclasafety, a gold-headed unbrella. was awarded to T. F. Mvler; second prize, silver-beaded cane, I. F. Bailey: first prize, tandem, nickle-plated safety lamp, H. E. Bidwell and F. C. Cormack. The bicycles of the prize winners wore certainly beauties the decoration on the tandem being fully 12 feet high. When the order to move forward was given I. F. Bailey was in the lead acting as captain, witli T. F. Myler following as an aid. Then followed the 40 decorated wheels, and after them came tbe undecorated wheels to the number of 35. There were about four tandem turnouts. The parade passed over tbe following route: Baum street to Negley avenue, to Stanton, to Highland, to Penn avenue, to Homewood, counter-march to the KenmawrHotel,wbere the parade was dismissed. All along tbe line of march there were crowds of peopU who cheered the riders heartily. ' Bnseball Notes. MCGark is playing a great game on tblrd base for tbe Bostons. ltugiE was given a warm reception at Indian apolis, his borne. The Cleveland League team yesterday signed Pitcher Young, of Canton. Baldwu caught for the Clncinnatis for six years previous to his release. KOQEB CONNOR has the distinction or hitting the first fair ball over the Cleveland ground's fence. In tbe Players' League the Uew York pitchers have the most strike outs, 264; Chicago Is seconu, with 229 to her credit. KOOEIt Connor bas made but 12 errors In 65 games, and has averaged three safe hits to every two games he has played tbls season. Tommie Tucker saves tbe Boston lnfielders many an error. He does not care how they come to him he almost invariably gets the ball. It Is the intention of the Boston Leagne man agement to have Clarkson pitch in almost every game when the clubs comedown to the finish line. IF the Brooklyn Players' League club reduced Its price of admission to 25 cents, President Byrne will not contlnne till tbe end of tbe season with a half a dollar tariff. Plenty of lines are out for Nat Hudson, of the Minneapolis club. Tbe St. Louis, Syracnse, Chi cago. Buffalo and Athletic managers are said to be anxious to sign blm. Billy Sunday says he can run 100 yards in 10 1-5 seconds. He says be would not engage In a match race with any one for money, but that be might be Induced to run for a medal. The Brooklyns have made tbe most double plays, SO; Philadelphia bas 69: Captain Kelly's aggregation Is third with 65. Three triple plays have been made, one each by Boston, Kew York and Chicago. The Sew York League Club will sign a new out fielder either to-day or on Monday if satisfactory arrangements can be made. He is a young blood and comes from tbe Western Association with a great record. Sucn pitching as John Ewing did Thursday will not be beaten this season. He held the strong Chicago club down to a single hit In nine Innings, while Weyhlng, of the Brooklyns, shut tbe same team out without a single In a six Inning eontest. "BUCK" EWINO has turned the laugh on the New xork bleaching board prophets. Tbey didn't take to bis brother John a little bit and used to gny him unmercifully, "Buck" kept blm on the salary list, however, and now his course Is justified, as John Is pitching splendid ball. President Love has resigned from tbe presi dency of the Philadelphia Brotherbood Club. His stock has been purchased by the Wagoner Brothers, who are now In eharge of affairs. J. Earle Wagoner will probably be elected Presi dent at tbe next regular meeting of tbe club. Buffinton will be retained as manager. Tho Coming Plnrers.

CA, rm EACE TRACK GOSSIP. The Big Stakes Offered by Kentucky Breeders a Benefit. EQUALS OF THE HOMING HOESES. It Will Increase the Yalue of Colts and Fillies Entered. ADDITIONS TO THE HOSOE BOLL CORRESPONDENCE Or THE DISPATCH. 1 Lexington, Ky., August Z At no time in the history of the trotting horse has a movement been inaugurated that is likely to redound so greatly to the benefit of trotting horse breeders and owners as the offer of tbe magnificent stakes made by tbe Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Asso ciation, one for 510,000 and one for $25,000. I have argued in this correspondence that trotting horses should, so far as the capacity to make money out of races is concerned, be placed on terms at least of equality with running horses. There are many reasons why this should be. Apart from their en gagements, trotting colts and fillies are con siderably more valuble than runners of the same age. but the great prizes whicb have been offered to successful colts have enabled the breeders of good rnnning colts to sell them with their engagements for largely more than equally promising trotters wonld bring. The chance ot winning the great stakes is an ele ment that enters largely into the question of value. It is a very simple proposition that a young horse entered in a 310,030 or 20,000 stake, which he is liable to win, will sell for a great deal more money than he wonld otherwise bring. I vonture tbe prediction that these will be the most popular stakes ever offered in Ken tucky, and that tbo example thus set will be followed by other associations. 'The effect cannot be other than of tbe highest value to tbe trotting borse interest. One of the resnlts which will immediately follow tbe announce ment of such stakes will be the appreciation in value of the colts that are liable to be con testants for them. Breeders will find it to their advantage to enter all their best eligible colts and fillies. The young things thus entered will be more valuable as the time of the races in which tbey are entered approaches, especially if they show qualities that indicate that they will probably be winners. The necessity for such stakes bas long been felt. With the mar velous growth of trotting horse breeding tbis necessity has become more and more urgent. All lovers ot the trotting horse have reason to congratulate themselves that the long desired consummation has at length been attained. A. C. Bruce, Rosemont, Minn., has sold to C. Q. Goodrich, Minneapolis, Minn., Aunt Joe, b. L, yearling, by Nutwood: dam Mary F, by Mambrlno Boy. Also, brown suckling filly by William L; dam Mabel (fall sister of Lou, dam of Axtell, 202). Price for the two, 4,000. The Pulaski County Agricultural and Me chanical Association holds its meeting at Som erset. Ky., September 9 to 12. Entries close September!. A purse of 8100 is offered In the 3.-00 class; $50 in the 3-year-old class, and $200 in the 2:30 class. There will be a running race each day. Last week I noticed the performance of Mr. G. "W. St. Clair's fast 2-year-old Sternburg, by Wilkes Boy, that trotted a mile in his work on the Lexington traek on the 27th of July In 2:29. On tbe 29th at Harrodsburg he started in a race, 2-year-old stakes, against Evangeline, bay filly by Dictator, and Snip Nose, bay fillv by Cvrlone. and won in two straight beats in 2&, 2i294. I believe no 2-year-old has ever made this time in a race before, tbls early in the sea son. Sternburg is a great colt. The chances for four days' excellent sport at Paducah this fall Is most flattering. The stakes closed April 1 with a large number of choice entries, and the purses wblch they hare re cently announced are such as will certainly draw good horses. The programme proposed for eacb day is varied and attractive, and one that will f nrnish abnndant amusement for tbe large crowds, whicb it is Faducab's good for tune always to bo able to draw. Highland Princess, a bay yearling filly, full sister to Prince Wilkes. 2:14 bas been sold by W. C. France A. Son to Christ Schaurte Dussel dorf, Germany. Price private, bnt reported to be $5,000.

Tbat a dam six feet high be built at the bead ot the Clusters near Wellsburg, six feet high from the West Virginia shore, or dredge tbe shore bar and point off Island bar. That a dike four feet high be built at Raccoon from the north shore, extending out to point of bar and dredge off Rock bar. Rebuild tbe dam at tbe bead of Sisters to six feet, and straighten the lower dike down to the lower island. Lower the dam at the bead of Marietta Island to seven feet instead of nine feet, as It now is. Finish dredging at the foot of Blenner hasaett Island. Rebuilding dam at Newberry Island to six feet. Rebuilding wing dam from head of Belleville Island to Middle bar six feet high. Continue dredging down shore at foot of Merriman. Rebuilding the dam at the foot of Glass House Ripple and locating the same farther south than the old dike at tbe foot of island bar.
