Cleveland. September 15. The Pitts burgs were defeated by the Cleveland team this afternoon. From the start the locals pounded Morris all over the field. The game was very uninteresting on account of the Pittsburgs being unable to do nothing with McGill. The first run was scored by the home team in the first inning on Radford's double and Delehanty's single. Kuehne made a wild throw in the second, and Strieker got to first, Carney -as given a base on balls, Brennan forced Carney out on a fly tapped by Corcoran, and Strieker should have been out bnt Kuehne made his second muff. McGill hit for a base and Radford's sacri fice fly gave Cleveland two runs. Good hitting in the next inning scored two more for Cleveland, and it looked as though Horris might be knocked out of the box. In the filth Xarkin's three base hit and Tebeau's single earned a run lor the home team, and in the eighth two runs were scored on timely hitting and thejhstlessness of the Pittsburg fielders. The visitors saved themselves a shut out by Bren nan's pass of Delehanty's throw from the outfield in the eighth. A base hit by Beckley and a long sacrifice fly gave the visitors their second run in the ninth. The game was called on account of darkness. The score: CLEVELAND. B B P A E PITTSBUr.O.

Secretary Tener Snji the Local P. I li Risht lor Krxt Year. Secretary John Tcner, o thelocal P. L. club, is one of the most hopefnlofmenregardingtbe prospects of the team for next season. Yester day afternoon he said: "Let me tell yon that whether there is a Rational League club here or not next yeardoes not concern us. If there is a club, it will not interfere with us any more than it has done this season. At any rate the Rational League people will have no conflict ing dates next year. Tbey have had euonch of them this season. Our team will be all right. I don't think that II. J. Kelly will be trans ferred from Boston. We will certainly be able to cet all the players v. e want." Second baseman Robinson will be able to play his position on Thursday, when the club re turns. Galvin Is also reported much better. Secretary Tener states that, as the Brooklyn and the home team have no postponed games to play off, they will play a game at Altoona on the 26iu instant, that being an open date.

Through 'the Inability of the Pittsburgs to do anything with Young's pitching is a good diagnosis of the game.

Secretary Al Scandrett, of the local National League baseball club, yesterday filed an affi davit in court in behalf of the clnb in answer to the suit of A. G. Pratt A Co., who are suing the club for a debtof 740. The affidavit chiefly aims at showing that the club is a limited part nership, and, therefore, no director or stock bolder can be sued Individually for debt; in other words, an effort is made to shirk the debt by trying to show that Sir. Pratt has not pro ceeded in the legal way to collect it. But the affidavit goes further, and states that Mr. Pratt is, and has been, in full knowledge of the fact that the club was chartered as a limited partnership under the name of the Pittsburg Athletic Club. There is another ex. ceedingly interesting feature in the affidavit, viz.: It shows that Mr. J. P. O'Neil Is the only director who has paid any cash into the club or "partnership." The statement of Secretary Scandrett credits Mr. O'Neil with paying $10,000 cash for one-fourth of the clnb's stock about four years ago. Nobodv else is credited with paying an money into the concern. The above are the chief features of the affidavit. Mr. Pratt and his attorney read the affidavit when it was tiled and had a hearty laugh over it. A reply to it was prepared and judgment will be asked lor Saturday. The reply is very brief and makes the statement that the affida vit is in all uoints defective. Mr. Pratt em phatically denies that he ever knew the ball club to do business as the Pittsburg Athletic Club. Last evening Mr. Pratt said: "Mr. Niniicfc himself came to my store and requested me to allow ManagerHeckertohave anything for the Allegheny Baseball Club. But I certainly have done all my business with them as tho Allegheny Baseball Club. The debt is legitimate, and whether tbey are a lim ited partnership or not it onght to be paid. The court will get me my money.' Director O'Neil was busily engaged all the atternoon trying to have the affair settled. He urged Mr. Pratt to nlthdraw the suit, assuring the latter that ho wonld get his money without any trouble. Mr. Pratt, bon ever, declined to withdraw it. During a conversation Mr. O'Neil said: "lhe present object of Mr, Nimick in pushing the case is to tind out whether or not our charter is any zood. Mr. Pratt and his attorney say it is not. ani although it is a charter for a limited partnership we can be sued individually. We want to find that out. But a deal of bad temper has caused all this bother. For some time past Mr. Converse, Mr. Brown, Mr. Nimick and myself have each been paying $2C0 per week toward paying off current expenses and old debts of the clnb. Mr. Nimick had the distribution of this money in charge and he has doubtless thought there were mare pressing debts. Mr. Pratt's turn would certainly have come." The general opinion seemstobe tbatit is a very unwise proceeding on the part of the club to allow the case to go to court. Every official of the club admits the debt to be legitimate and it Is bard to understand why they won't pay it. ETJHOES OF PEACE. An Alleged Intarvievr Between Prca. Byrne and Prci". H'nsner at Philadelphia. IBrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATHrf.l NEW fOEK, September 15. The Players' League people are plumb sure that their's will be the leading and popular organization next year. A Dispatch reporterasked a New York club official to-day whether he did not consider the outlook for next season a little doubtful. The reply was: "Doubtful; Why. I cannot immagine how any person who is at all conversant with the baseball situation and who Las seen or read of the patronage at the grounds of the rival organizations this season could for a moment question the solidity of tho Players' League We have certainly ontdrawn the National League at least three to one in the aggregate; there is not a single man in our League who is owed a dollar, and, barring a show of distress at Buffalo, there has not been a club iu the Players' League that has asked or received financial assistance from the main organization. Can the National League show as good a record?" "It is claimed that a number of your players will join the National League next season?" "It is just the reverse. I know from a fact that there will be a number of National League players to join the Brotherhood ranks. While upon this subjoct of drifting around I want to say there is more trnth in that story about Byrne, of the National League, endeavoring to patch up a truce with the Players' League than many persons imagine. I know that he visited the home of President Wagner, of the Phila delphia club, and made a proposition to tbe Quaker City magnates to tbe effect that the National League uiuld withdraw all opposi tion in cities where Players' League club? are located upon the condition that the eight clubs in tbe organization would give up to the National League two of its best plavers. It would be the purpose, then, of the National League to amalgamate with tbe American As sociation and occupy its present territory. Mr. Bjrnc cannot hardly deny his interview with President Wagner." 'Is there any prospect that President Byrne's scheme will go throuchT" "It would not be entertained for a moment and I don't think that President Wagner in tends to bring tbe matter officially to the at tention of the Players' Leacue." nr LIKE AGAHT.

Ohio Board of Health Will Investigate the Reports of ASIATIC CHOLEEA AT CAEROLLTON, 0 Cbessoit Springs, September 15. It has been arranged that the river and harbor appropriation bill shall be forwarded to the President immediately on being signed by the Speaker of the House. Tbe President isalready familiar with its pro visions, having brought a copy of it with him to Cresson, together with a report from the Chief of Engineers of the army in regard to the con dition and necessity of the various public improvements provided ior. It is therefore not likely that the public will be kept in ignorance for many more days in regard to that measure. Speculation is about evenly divided as to its prospects, those who are sure ot a veto being about as numerous as those who are confident of its approval. The President and his private secretary, however, are strictly non-committal on that point. ANOTHER 'WEEK'S STAY. The President said this morning that if the weather continues favorable and public business does not prevent, he will remain at Cresson until the end of next week. He said the place seemed to agree with him, and that he wanted to stay as long as possible. It is learned this afternoon that while the Mount ain House, the only hotel here, will close the season next Saturday, arrangements have been made there to supply the Presi dent's family with meals after that date for a period not exceeding one week. Mr. Mason, Commissioner of Internal Bevenue, took dinner with the President's family to-day and left on the atternoon train for his home at Morgantown, W. Va. He will be in "Washington next Monday. He was summoned here to confer with th President in regard to certain prospective changes in the internal revenue service, and also to give him certain desired infor mation in regard to the increased receipts from that source. The Grand Army posts at Tyrone, Pa., have requested the President to receive them in a body next Wednesday, and their request will undoubtedly be granted. Mdjor Denniston, of Pittsburg, waited on the President this evening, and, on behalf ot the Grand Army posts of that city, in vited bim to be present at their reunion at Hock Point next Wednesday. The Presi dent received him cordially, and expressed regret that his engagements would prevent an acceptance of the invitation. EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. The President has also received invita tions from the people of nearly all the neighboring towns and villages to pay them a visit, One tbat is likely to be accepted came from tbe miners at.Houtzdale, Pa., who said they would suspend work on the day of his visit and give him a rousing re ception. Mr. William H. Dill, of Clear field, vtho delivered the invitation, said the miners wanted the President to inspect their mines, and that they wonld open one for his especial benefit The President said he would certainly go if he could. Private Secretary Haltord to-day in formed Mr. George W. Boyd, of the Penn sylvania Bailroad Company, that the Presi dent was now ready to accept his invitation to visit Johnstown, Bell's Gap and one or two other points of interest on that road within a day's journey of Cresson. There is every reason to believe that the President is seriously considering the advisability of calling an extra session of Congress. It is known that several prominent Bepublicans have advised such a crurse with u view to an earlier consideration of the Federal election bill., Persons who have talked with the President on this subject say that he will certainly reconvene Congress if certain pending measures in which he takes great interest are not disposed of at this session. These include the anti-lottery bill, the Supreme Court bill and the labor bills now in the Senate, and the postal shipping bill, now awaiting the action of the House. The President is known to be specially in terested in the passage of the election bill, and wonld probably feel justified in calling an extra session for the consideration of it and such others of the important measures now pending as may not be disposed of at this session.
