If the declarations of Manager Hanlon.
of the Players' League, and Director J. P.
O'Xeil, of the National League, go for any
thing the baseball public of Pittsburg are
poing to be humbugged next year just as
they have been this. According to the state
ments of these centlcmen, made io the
writer yesterday, each party will have a
hall team in this city and of course, just as
it was declared last winter, each is going to
knock the other higher than the proverhial
kite. In other words, the public is to see a
repetition of one of the most unhallowed of
all baseball seasons.
Director O'Neil said: "Now. depend upon it
we are here with our clnb to stay, not only tbo
season out, but also next season. We won't
lose a dollar this year. During our recent trip
Bast we received J3.600 and our expenses were
only 2,2C0. I hare signed four men already for
next season, and I will sign three more to-morrow.
I want a compromise, but I'm not the en
tire League. I bear no ill-will toward any
player, and I would take Ed Hanlon back to
morrow and make him manager of our team.
I would also take Jake Beckley back, but tbere
are many players in onr team whom I would
not release. Therefore, 1 could not entertain a
proposition to take back all of our old players.
If thore is to be one club in Pittsbarg I claim
that our club is the one. We had the did
first and most assuredly If Hanlon had been
here before ns with a team I wouldn't hare
been an opponent of his for a day. We simply
claim that wo have the right of territory, and
we are prepared to fight for that right another
year at least."
Manager Hanlon said: "Why, we are here to
stay. Just von mark mv words that all the
men that Mr. O'Neil is signing now he will re
lease before the spring. There will be only
one leading baseball organization next year
and that will be the Flayers' League. I will
have a winning team here next year and that
will get the patronage. We can get all the
money we want for next year, and I don't see
what we can gain by a compromise. We will
be the club next year."
In answer to a series of questions,Mr.Han!on
stated that there will be everaI new faces in
his team, as some of the present lot are not
filling the bill.
"Will the contract signed bv players of your
League guarantee them a full year's salary?"
was asked of Mr. Hanlon.
He replied: "I don't know about that It is
not good business. What we want is men who
will fill the bill. Ours is not an organization of
charity, and we want ball players who can earn
their salary."
From the above it will be gleaned that there
is a desire to contlnne a conflict t hat has al
ready brought the national game into disre
pute, and amid all the object is to win public
favor. Intelligent people think, that a contin
uation of this year's proceedings Mill cause
tr' whole business to be absolutely ignored.

first half of the fourth inning the Bostons had
the game well in hand. After that BufSoton

The Athletic Ttn.eball Clnb Players Will
Run the Clnb.
Pbtladelphia, September 5. The players
of the Athletic Baseball Club held a meeting
at the law offices of Messrs. Wolf and Judge to
day, to take action looking to the recovery of
tbeir back salaries. Mr. Whittaker, the treas
urer and practical owner of the club, who was
present by request, gave a statement of the or
ganization's standing. He said that it was
practically bankrupt; that be had put 6,000 of
his own money into it with the hope of floating
it over its troubles, and that the only offer ho
could make to the players was for them to run
the team on the co-operative plan and take
chances of recouping themselves by the gate
receipts.
The players will run the club until something
definite is beard from the Executive Commit
tee of the American Association, or the Na
tional Board of Arbitration.
Welcb, Hughes and several other members
of the team say they will not play on the co
operative plan but will remain with the club
for 10 days so as to be able to get money due
them from the board of arbitration. .

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DI8PATCH.I
Butler, September 5. To-day was a gala
day among the baseball people bere. The in
terest in the game has not been so high since
the palmy days of '86, when the J. P. Fishels
were in their glory. The Stephen Markbams
club, just organized, played their first game
here to-day before a crond of about 800 peoplo
against the D. J. Roberts, of Renfrews.
The came was for SoU-a side, the condition
being that in order to win the Renfrews must
beat the Markhams 2 to L
Great was the suspense of the people when
they turned the tables on them and beat them
27 to 1, almost shutting them out. During the
early part of the game McNamara, who was
catchingBeggs, was hit in the eye by a foul tip
and had to be carried from the grounds. The
features of the game were the pitching of
Jones, who allowed the Renfrews but two hits,
and the third baso playing of Walker for the
Markbams and the errors of the Renfrews. It
is estimated that 51,000 changed bands on the
game. The Markhams play Mercer at Slippery
Rock Park to-morrow, and are open to hear
Irom all strictly amateur clnbs in the State.

Secretary McCrackln, of the Homewood
Driving Park, is hu-tllng to make a success of
the fall meeting. Yesterday he stated that Mr.
Hamlin had agreed to bring his double team,
Justinia and Belle Hamlin to the meeting to
try and beat the double team record. He
thinks they will go the mile in 2:14. Mr. Mc
Crackln also states that Mr. McCormick has
matched Dallas to pace Hal Pointer at Home
wood the best three in five heats for J5.000 a
side.
Mr. McCrackin said: "I am informed that
after Dallas won the stake race at Springfield,
Mr. McCormick at mc matched his pacer to
go against Hal Pointer at Homewood. A tele
gram to that effect wai received b. Mr. Lappin
from Mr. McCormick last evening. If the
match goes on we will add some money to the
stakes. If it does not. I think we can offer suf
ficient inducement to have a race with Adonis,
Crickart, Hal Pointer and Dallas. These four
will make the sensational pacing race of the
year, as I think that anyone of them can go

livelihood. The Kilrain-Ashton combination
will shortly blossom ont with the assistance of
several other pugilists and wrestlers, in a spe
cially written comedy farce entitled, "Jack's
Little Game." It is confidently expected by
members of the company, who have not the
slightest idea what the play will be like, that
tbey will coin money on the road next season.
That astute indlviduaLCharlrs E. Da vies, bet
ter known as the "Parson." not to be outdone,
has perfected arrangements with Jim Corbett
and Peter Jackson, whereby tbey will be the
stars in a piece now being written bv an emi
nent playwright of Chicago, which will be
called, "The Bunch of Fives." This, it is said,
will eclipse even "Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands." If -The Bunch of Fives" proves a
success the Parson says that he will confine his
asteution strictly to tragedy in the future.
"For." said he, "you could not find a larger
Othello than my dusky antipodean, and as for
Corbett, be is a born actor, and will make bis
mark in the world without any special train
ing." Dominick McCaffrey has also thrown the
mits aside for the business. He is on the road
starring in a company of which be is the chief
owner. When the season gets fairly unfer way
only a few of the heavy weights and the lesser
stars of the pugilistic firmament will be left to
spar with each other on paper.

asked for officers to ride on the cars to be

Moss Run, O., a few miles above this city, by
the arrest of Rev. S. R. Shrieves, whose work

"Without new fields the supply is suf
ficient for several years. Larger pipes will
have to be used, of course. Larger pipes
than we are now laying cannot well be used
while gas is transported at high pressure
the pipes are so heavy. But with low
pressure there is, practically no limit to the
size of the pipes. , AVby, a pipe 15 or 25 feet
in diameter, made oi sheet iron, can be em
ployed, and I tell you a conduit of that size
will convey a vast amount of gai even at
low pressure. -
THE INCEEASE I2T CONSUMPTION.
"To get at the increase in tbe consumption
of natural gas you will have to see the new
companies. The Philadelphia Company is
supplying about as much gas this year as
last. The difference is that we have a large
ly increased domestic consumption, but less
for manufacturing purposes. The Oliver
line took five mills from us, then the Equit
able, the Carnegie lines ana so on. More
than a dozen mills and some glass factories
have been taken from our line and con
nected with these new lines. I would say
the increase in consumption would be nearlr
umeasurea dv tne amount ot gas lurnisbed
Dy tne new lines, it is considerable.
Captain Bigger, the general agent of the
Philadelphia Comp'any, when asked about the
consumption of natural gas this year, said he
could not state the exact amountof increase,
but was satisfied it was an increase. He was
satisfied the increase would be as great as
last year, but to determine it exactly would
necessitate going all through the company's
books. As lor supply, Mr. Bigger said it
was only a question of pipe and price. He
had no fears lor the immediate future. The
Philadelphia Company was in first-class
shape to supply its patrons next winter.
They never had a more satisfactory condi
tion of things than at present, and he sawno
reason to expect trouble for several years.
Mr. Bobert Gillespie thought from his in
formation the supply was ample to meet all
demands. The Bellevernon field would
more than make up for any deficiency in the
older fields and would prove to be a lasting
source of supply. The field was thus far
showing wonderful qualities. Cbum.
