Has there been a resurrection in baseball
or why is it that Pittsburg has broken her
great record? 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

Their Third Game to the Brooklyn!
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,

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."

A MAGNIFICENT RACE.
Jack and Palo Alto. 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 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. '

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

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

The Big Stakes Offered by Kentucky
Breeders a Benefit.
EQUALS OF THE HOMING HOESES.

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. Tbe brown colt, 2 years old, by
Red Wilkes, dam bv Mambrino Patcben, has
also been sold by France toWillett & Son,

He said he expected to get married in about
two weeks. The woman he was to marry
was without a home,' and he asked Lambert
to provide ber with a room and board. The

marriage license. "While the clerk was fill
ing out the necessary papers, Miss Dailey
suddenly disappeared and Both was unable
to find her anywhere. He returned to Lam

his disappointment. Then, going into
a saloon a few doors away, he
ordered a glass of beer. While
the barkeeper was filling his order Both
drew a pistol, placed the muzzle against
his temple and sent a bullet through his
brain, dving instantly.
It is stated, butnot on reliable authority,
that the girl already has a husband, and for
tbat reason she dare not marry Both. Tbe

The Improvement Committee Report Ol
DclallT. The committee appointed at the meeting of
coal operators and river pilots made an official
report yesterday on the Ohio river Improve
ments. Following is tbeir recommendation:
Tbat Logstown dam be Immediately rebuilt
to six feet.
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.
Employing crews of men to clean off loose
stones near the channel of tbe river.
We recommend that some steps be taken to
prevent the filling ont in the river above the
Bellalre bridge and Union bridge, at tbe
head of Wheeling Island; also Uteubenville
bridge.
We think the most important places are
Marietta Island, Cluster Islands. Logtown, Sis
ters and tbe foot of Glass House Ripple.
Tbe report is signed bv 8. D. Swaney, J. W.
Gould, C. F. Boles, Thomas Harris and John
A Wood.
After a little discussion the report was
adopted, and will be sent to Colonel Merrill.
A resolution was also adopted tbat tbe Coal
Exchange and Pilots' Association nrge ita
representatives in Congress to exert tbeir in
fluence to secure tbe passage ot tbe river and
harbor bill, and especially the. section wblch
refers to Ohio river improvements appropria
tion. The improvements contemplated by tbe com
mittee will cost in tbe neighborhood of $2,000,
U00, but tbis does not equal tbe damage already
done to coal fleets on the Ohio daring the past
year. Colonel Merrill was requested to place
the matter before Congress and to urge the
immediate passage of the river and harbor bill.
