rSrECTAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
BROOKLYN, August 23. Luck seems to
be right with tbe Brooklyn Players' League
team, for there was another instance on the
Eastern Park grounds to-day where they
pulled ont a victory that clearly belonged
to the Pittsburg team. It's mighty hard to
beat "Ward's aggregation, no matter bow
bard the visiting team; play. The Pitts
burg's outbatted the Brooklyns two to one,
and also excelled them in base running, but
still they conld not win. Xong John Tener
never pitched a finer game for the Smoky
City team, but the support he received lost
Pittsburg the game. Brooklyn made some
very scratchy Vts off Tener, and at tbe most
critical moments. Tbe fielding of tbe visitors
tells the tale.
LOTS OP EEBOES.
Tbe Brooklyns' wcrk was not by any means
perfect. They rolled up error on top of error
in a glaring manner, but it did not seem to ad
vance the visiters' scores Sowders was batted
very bard, but bis luck in having the bits scat
tered also helped to the Brooklyns' victory.
Pittsburg began the-scoring in tbe third inning,
getting three runs. Fields got a bit and stole
to second and third. Visner got a base on balls
and stole socond, Beckler ponnded out a two
bagger, fields scoring. Hanlon bit to Hayes.
and tbe poor throw borne let Visner In, Cor
coran made a neat sacrifice, Beckley scoring.
Keubne was tbe third out. In tbe fourth,
Brooklyn scored five runs. McGeacby started
with a hit and took second, when O it got bis
base on balls, Joyce bunted safe, Sunday got in
a scratch bit, on which McGeachy scored.
Hayes lined out a beauty and Orr and Joyce
tallied. Daily sacrificed and so aid Sowders, and
Sunday came home. Andrews bit a long fly to
center, which Hanlon muffed and Hayes
scored.
HANLON SPLIT HIS FINGER
and retired from tbe game. Bauer flew out to
Robinson. In the fifth Brooklyn clinched their
victory, securing two more runs. McGeacby
got two bases on a fly that Fields should have
got only for Carroll's interference. A wild
pitch gave him third, and Orr's hit sent him
over tbe rubber, tbe latter coming all tbe way
home on a passed ball and a wild throw by
Quinn. In tbe sixth an error by Joyce gave
Robinson second, be immediately stealing
tbird,(and on Fields' hit scored. In tbe seventh
Brooklyn got two more runs after two were out.
Joyce got first on balls and so did Sunday. A
wild pitch sent them along a peg. Hayes forced
Orr out at tbe plate and Quinn tried to make a
double, but threw wild, Joyce and Sunday scor
ing. Kuehne's three-bagger. Robinson's single,
Quirui's sacrifice and Fields' two-base bit
earned too runs. In tbe ninth inning Beckley
got first on Hayes' wild throw, Carroll hit safe
and stole second. Kuehne sacrificed, sending
Becilev borne, and Robinson's hit scored Car
roll. Robinson bit to short right. Orr missed
and Carroll scored. Quinn flied ont two runs.

NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES.
CNell's Wayfarers Meet Another Defeat
at Philadelphia Mr. Esper Tried In the
Box Sunday Plays With the Phillies
Other Contests. .
:SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlgrATCTT.l
Philadelphia, August 23. The Phillies
defeated the Pittsburg National League team
again to-day, tbe score being 7 to 0. The game
was devoid of interest, although some pretty
plays were made, the most notable being a run
ning catch of a low liner from Heard's bat.
Gray alsov made "a neat catch, taking a foul
from 'Wilson's bat.' If there was any feature to
the game it was the pitching of Smith. His
delivery yielded but two hits and he struck out
eight men. His report was very steady and
clean. -
Two facts that tended to draw out the 2,047
people who attended tbe game was the ap
pearance of that fine fielder, W. A. Sunday, in
a Philadelphia uniform, and tbe appearance in
tbe box for tbe visitors of Esper, tbe young
uptown twirler recently released by the Ath
letics. Sunday had little to do, and hence very
limited chances to make a brilliant debut.
Esper has not nlayed ball for nearly a montb,
and was a trifle rusty, although but seven bat
tery errors are charged against him. He said
after the game that he did not have control of
tbe ball. His pitching was very effective. Gray
and Smith being the only men -who could do
much with his delivery. Seven bits were
made off him. but three of these were of a very
doubtful quality. Not a run was earned off his
delivery. He was not signed to-day, but is to
meet President O'Neil on Monday, when he
may be signed.

THE HOIST DETJMMEE3.
Cleveland's Nine Hustlers Defeat tho Pitts
burgers Without Much Trouble.
Ordinarily drummers are very funny fellows,
but when 18 of them get on to a base ball field
something more than a circus is seen. Yester
day afternoon about 500 people laughed nntil
their sides ached at a game that was played at
Recreation Park between the Pittsburg Drum
mers and tire Drummers of Cleveland. Tbe
home representatives were badly beaten, and
nothing they could do in tbe way of talking,
kicking or intimidation could prevent their be
ing walloped by the Clevelanders.
There were some remarkable features in the
game, the most notable being Mr. Handler's
slide. He slid from first to second base, and
dodged the entire opposing nine. Uillman
played third base for the visitors In a way that
would make Denny envious. The Plttsburgers
only got two runs, but they could have gotten
more if Eichorn and Davis, the Cleveland bat
tery had been out of the way. "Moms," of the
home team,got a big hit on tbe head. He was
nearly knocked ont.- Ewart disputed a dedsion
of Umpire Coyie and tbe latter declined to
draw his revolver, but left the field, Mr. Col
lingwood taking his place. Altogether the
game was an interesting one. The score:
Cleveland 4 12 0 3 10 1 2-14

America Honored br Admirers of the
Exhibition Other Interesting Events,
IBT EUNLAr'SCABLI COM PANT. 1
Los don. August 23. The Crystal Palace has
long been recognized as tbe seat of ail the Lon
don shows, and there the various dog, cat,
pigeon, canary, rose and other flower exhibi
tions are beld annually. Yesterday it offered a
scene of International interest for English
sportsmen were engaged in paying a compli
ment to America,
It was the occasion of an exhibition of mas
tiffs, and tbe members of the olrTEnglish Mas
tiff Club assembled iu full force as a compli
ment to Dr. Derby, the Secretary of tbe Ameri
can Mastiff Club. Fifty-one of these specimens
of the canine race were on show, and a royal
show tbey made, each beast being remarkable
for its size and strength.
The palace was thronged by Americans, who
vied with the Englishmen in their interest and
in knowledge of tue points of these dogs, and
who were delighted with the state of perfec
tion to which each animal has been bred. Al
together the show has been a brilliant success,
and the English and American visitors are mu
tually delighted with bach bther.
Who Is the Champion?
John Martin, the local amateur oarsman. Is
anxious to see who is the best amateur sculler
in Western Pennsylvania. He bolds the cham
pionship medal, but he Is wining to meet all
comers in a race. He proposes that all the
amateurs who aspire to the championship sub
scribe and buy a Ruddock boat and then row
for it. He states that many style themselves
champions and only a raceArill settle the mat
ter. He suggests that the- race take place
during tbe Exposition here. His offer is a
very sensible one.
Where Are tbe Divers?
There will be some great sport at the Nata-'
torlum to-morrow evening, The final heat of
the Guskey Medal Swimming Contest will take
place, and although Elsler looks like a winner,
he is certain to have to struggle. Professor
McEwenalso offers to give any man 30 feet
start in diving, and if any person beats bim at
that handicap he. the victor, will receive a $25

challenge will be accepted, Thr will also be

rSrlCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Lexington, Ky,, August 23. Owing to
the heavy fall of rain this has been a poor
week for the trotters to show their speed, at
least since "Wednesday. Monday and Tues
day, however, the weather and tracks were
good, tnd some fast work was done. About
tbe best trial' was that of Angelina, the 4-year-old
Wilkes BoyJ filly. She werit a
mile in 2:18, and did it with ease at that.
General Wilkes, gr. h., by George Wilkes,
dam by Peacock, went an easy mile in 2:24,
some of the watches making it 2:21. He
showed his old-time courage and splendid way
of going. Shonld no accident befall bim, he
ought to lower his present record (231Ji) be
fore tbe racing season closes.
In an interview with Judge Irving Halsey,
the well known exponent of the strictly trot-ting-bred
theory, that gentlemen had the fol
lowing to say about the de'feat of Jack by
Palo Alto, at Buffalo: "1 see some of the
papers are rather nndnly jubilant over the
recent victory- of Palo Alto over Jack at
Buffalo. It is doubtless somewhat of a conso
lation for them to know that the balf-bred
stallion made amends to a certain1 extent for
bis defeat at Detroit, but it is rather premature
for them to Indulge in excessive hilarity over
the event. That Palo Alto is
A GREAT HORSE
no one disputes, bnt it lis now settled at least
for the present, that as a beat winner in a long
race be is not the equal of the grey son of
Pilot Medium when both horses aie at their
best. At Detroit Palo Alto showed that he was
in prime condition by winning a very fast beat,
and yet be was beaten in the race. At Buffalo
Jack was very far from being in first-rate con
dition. Jack's feet are notoriously trouble
some, and tbe Buffalo track has never suited
him. That the conditions were not favorab'e
to Jack is amply proved by the fact
that he was only as good as second
in the heat. In my judgment there
are several horses in the country that
will beat Palo Alto in a three in five race.
StanbonI would have at least even chances
with him. Axtell ought to beat bim hands
down, and although there is considerable dif
ference in their records, it is no two-to-one
that the deeply trotting-bred Prince Regent
would not "do up" the California champion in
handsome style. Unless Prince Regent's ser
vices in the stnd this season shculd prevent
his being kept in condition, he is destined to
make a low mark before the winter frosts set
In. He is a very dangerous competitor for tbe
Hartford 110,000 stake. Whenever Jack is
right he will need no odds in his favor in a
contest with Palo Alto. The "speed-sustaining
blood" of Pilot Medium will be sufficient
to caity him to victory."
ADDITIONS TO THE LIST.
The additions to the 2.S0 list this week are
fewer than for several weeks past, most of the
new ones this week having taken tbelr records
in the Blue Grass circuit. It will be noticed
that these are without exception bred in trot
ting lines. The additions already reported,
after being revised number 260, and with those

A GEEAT SUCCESS.
Chicago's Trottlos' Meeting Closes and
Snnol Does a Grent Feat.
Washington Park Chicago, August 23.
To-day's events closed the week's races and the
meeting of the Northwestern Breeders' Trot
ting and Pacing Association. It can safely be
said that financially the success of the meeting
has been one of profit To the public it has
been very satisfactory and pleasing. The man
agement have exercised great care and ex
cellent judgement in their endeavor to please
tbe people. In their starter, Mr. A. D.
Hancock, tbey have bad a gentleman who has
been earnest and sincere in bis work, and it
must be said that at no other place has there
been such a number of excellent, and, in many
cases, almost phenomenal starts. To this is due
the great confidence given this gentleman by
the drivers, who knew that when tbe word "go"
wag given that no one was to have the best of
it, but that in the almost perfect judgement of
tbe starter their relative positions warranted
the word.
The card for each day has been of excellent
order, bringing out good horses in the hands of
the most noted drivers in the world. Four
races were on the card for to-day's programme,
with tbe unfinished race of yesterday, the sec
ond race being that of Sunol, the famous Cali
fornia mare, who started to beat the 4-year-old
record of 2:11 previously made by this won
der, and tbe record of Maud S if possible.
At 405 P. If. Sunol came past the stand
driven by the veteran, Charles Marvin. After
scoring once Sunol came down very fast, Mar
vin nodding his bead for the word, which he
got as tbe mare reached the wire. Tbe pace to
tbe first quarter was terrific for a first quarter,
going the distance in 32 seconds, or a 2:08 gait.
From this to tbe half the mare seemed to lose
her speed, reaching tbe half pole in iS9yL, but
this time seemed to indicate her speed, as she
went to the three-anarters iu 1:39. and home in
2:10- Marvin urged her greatly in tbe last
quarter. This time equals ber performance as
aS-year-old. The fourth race, Iree-for-all trot
ting, was called .off on account of darkness.

Buffalo, August 23. Local sports are
greatly worked up over the recently issued
order prohibiting glove contests in Erie county.
The Arlington Athletic Club signified its inten
tion of fighting the order, but has finally aban
doned the idea. The sports are discouraged
and are leaving town in large numbers. The
numerous glove fights given here during the
past winter and spring have been the cause of
the city's being overrun with fighters and pugi
lists of every description, and it was to clear
them out rather than to discourage sport thai.
tne recent oraer was issueu. Auegoou bjuio
go with the bad of course.
Buffalo has been a stamping ground for bum
pugilists for a long time, and tbe newspaper
columns have been filled with challenges near
ly every week.
Tommy Warren, the clever little California
pugilist, is still in the city. He has played in
hard, luck, having been "done" out of two
flehw within tbe last three months. The first
was to have been with the St. Paul Kid, but he
was taken ill while in training, and the fight
was declared off. Tbe other was to have been
fought early in September with Prof. Williams,
of Boston, bnt the recent order will preventtbe
meeting. Tbe fight has been declared off. Ike
Weir, the Spider, was to have met Prof. Con
nors, of this city, for 81,700. on September 8, but
this match bad to go with tbe rest. The ath
letic clubs have got to go, too. There is not

Wheeling, August 23. The Wheeling
Terminal Company has just been incor
porated for the purpose of building termi
nals for the railroads at Wheeling, W. Va,
It is proposed to bnild a complete set of
terminals, including yards, roundhouses
and shops, and a depot in the center of the
city. The necessary bridges across the Ohio
river are now building, and all the
property required has been secured.
The organization of this company is tbe
result of the antagonism of Colonel George
P. Bissell and the Union Bridge and Ter
minal Company of Wheeling to the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie Bailway. Tbe competi
tion between the two terminal companies
will be bitter. The entire issue of 1,000,000
of the bonds of the Union Bridge and Ter
minal Company is held in New England,
tbe largest amount probably being held in
Hartford, the home of Colonel Bissell.
The Union Bridge and Terminal Company
has almost completed its work, bnt has no con
tracts with any railroad, whereas the Wheel
ing Terminal Company has already secured
contracts with several of tbe railroad com
panies Intending to use the terminals.
