It required a deal of baseball enthusiasm
to take one to yesterday's ball game at
Exposition Park. The weather was cold
enough for snow, and black clouds hung
around like a dismal canopy. As a result
nly 841 patriots of the game occupied the
ats to watch the nonie and New York P.
- teams play. The visitors were beaten in
very ragged game. Some of the cranks
.lied it "yellow." At stages the fielding
as very bad indeed, bnt the cold weather was
robably accountable for that. In making
trrors Carroll and Richardson took off the
lonors.
But there were a few good features in the
'test. Morris pitched a very nice game, ana
Visner was out in his Sunday clothes.
ph banged the ball away safely four tiuie3
" five tunes at tho bat. One of bis hits
corking triple and another a two-bagger.
50 stole a bae and got home three times.
as extraordinary 0't for Joe; indeed
vere no flies on Joseph yesterday. Law-
Sourke also made a home run, but of a
estionable kind, as the ball somehow
r parsed two helders.
i was also an accident in the game and
John Emng was the victim. In the
inning John made up bis mind to pilfer
1 base, and m committing the act he
I his foot and had to retire. Crane tak-
nlace in the box. The ininrv is not se-
cranc was to a great extent a failure as j
-her. as ne was wiiii. lery wild,
would probably be wearisome to tell how
. the runs were made as only one on each
side was earned. As already stated Visner
had much to do in the Pittsburgh run getting.
In the third inning his three-bagger and Beck
lei's smile earned the only run of rial merit.
1 he balance were all made by fielding errors,
bases on balls and other battery mistake.'.
In the first inning Vaughn got to first base on
a ridiculous muffed fly by Carroll. The ueT.t
two men were retired in order and Mr.
O'Rourke thumped the ball past Corcorai and
it also got past Carroll. As a result Mr.
O'Rourke went round the bases. Tne visitors'
onl earned run was made in thj eighth inning
on Johnston's triple and Urown's double
Brown was put out at the plate and the de
c.sion caused some lively argument. The de
cision, bo never, seemea to be lair. Following
is the store:

NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES.
A Llstlrm Game Won by the Visitors nt
lteci cation Paik Yesterday Four
Errors in Succession the Iiocnl Team's
Limit.
New- York and Pittsburg (X. L.) played a list
less sort of a game Jt Recreation Park yester
day before a crowd of 100 people. It was of a
very rocky sort, and errors were piled up at a
terrible rate. In one inning the local men man
aged to throw in four errors, and, as a result,
the visitors got in four unearned runs. Sharrott
did the pitching for New York, and put up a
very good game, though he was wild, and gave
numerous bases.on balls. However, when he
was ac his wildest, the local men could not
touch the ball even for sacrifices, and no runs
could be scored. Then, his support was excel
lent, with the exception of Captain Glasscock,
who made two miserable errors in rapid succes
sion. The local men not only failed to hit the ball,
but made so many errors that they were very
easy for the victors. Even Sammy La Roqne
made a couple of errors, though he evened it
up by several brilliant plays. Miller continues
his brilliant wont at third, but sent one wild
one away over Wilson's head. The glorious
fun began in the second inning, when Pittsburg
showed what they could do in a pinch at error
ni&king. Burkett got first and second on
Miller's wild throw, and third on Bassett's
grounder which Anderson tumbled. Then
Sam La Roque fumbled Hornung's grounder
and Burkett scored, Bassett taking second.
Denny singled to Berger, who juggled it, and
Bassett scored, Hornung going to third. Shar
rott sacrificed Hornung home and Denny to
second. Tiernan flew out. Clarke singled and
Denny scored. Clarke was caught napping
and the inning closed. In their half ot the
inning the local men scored two runs. Berctr
gota two-bagger and Decker got first on balls.
Sales hit for two bases ana Berger scored.
Decker taking third. Wilson sacrificed Decker
home.
No more runs were scoredjuntil the fifth,
when New York got one in on a two-bagger, a
sacrifice and an error. In the sixth they got in
three runs a base 'on balls, three bits, a stolen
base and a sacrifice. Their last run was made
in the seventh pn a base on balls, sacrihe and
a single. The Pittsburgs got tbeir last run in
the eighth on three bases on balls and two
errors by Classcock. Score:

fSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIRFATCB.1
Cincinnati, Septeniber 20. AU that
portion ot Cincinnati which is baseballo
cally inclined has been torn np over the
rumor that Cincinnati had been captured
body and breeches by the Brotherhood.
The story has only added to the general de
moralization that war has brought upon the
game. The bomb was fired too soon. Cin
cinnati is still in the League and may stay
there. As the club is now officered it will
never ally itself to the opposition. Still
the future of the Cincinnati club is by 110
means clearly defined. A fork in the road
has been reached. To the riht lies the
line of League travel, to the left the Brother
hood runs. Before the signboard the club has
halted. If the latter route is "chosen the
Messrs. Stern and Sterne will abandon the
parties and it will proceed along under the
new management. The future alone holds
the secret
SECRETARY STEKNF TALKS.
"The probabilities are" said Harry Sterne, to
The Dispatch correspondent, "that the sea
son of '91 will find the Cincinnati club still in
the League. I am frank to say that I am no
philanthropist, however, and if the Brother
hood meets our figures we will step down and
out of the business In the unsettled state of
affairs brought about by the Brotherhood's
foolish warfare 1 cannot see the wisdom in
holding on in the hope of regaining in three or
four years from now what we have lost this
season, and may in the next. There is no en
couragement offered club owners in these days.
Every player in the Cincinnati team knows
that the club has lost money this year, and yet
if we were to ask them to 'ign contracts for
next j ear I feel sure that they would all de
mand increase of salary. This thing of jump
ing up salaries has been going from bad 10
worse until the rum of prolessional ball will
soon stare the players in the face. The tact
that men have played poor ball in the previous
season does not prevent them from asking for
more money the next,
COMMON SENSE REASONING.
"In any line of mercantile business the.rule
is reversed. If I've a man in my employ 'who
does badly on the road he is glad to sign a con
tract for the next season at the same figure.
Not so in baseball."
"Has the Brotherhood offered $10,000 for the
club?"
"I do not believe that they have. President
Stern has given them a figure, and if it is ac
cepted we become laymen once more. 1 do not
think that the League will die even if Cincin
nati is lost to them. I honestly believe they
will win the fight in the end, They certainly
have the best of the battle. I do not think that
we as business men arc bound to remain in
that fight, however. It the Brotherhood pays
us our price, I really think we would be fool
ish not to accept it No o;lier such chance will
ever be offered to save us from loss, I am sure.
1 would rather continue in the League. I know
of no one who wants to invest, do jouT For
years the Cincinnati salary list has been mount
ing up, with no corresponding increase in the
receipts. 'Iiiere can be but one end to such a
thing collapse."
Despite all denials there is a faction that be
lieves a deal has been made.

London, September 20. The Lancashire
plate to-day was won by Amphion, who started
at the short odds ot 11 to 8 against him. Mar
tagon and Choppette, who finished second and
third, were scarcely mentioned in betting quo

been made first favorite for the Czarewitcb, 9

Very little wagering is taking place on the

favorite at 10 to 1 against.
The leading English sporting papers are tak
ing up the rndgels on behalf of Charles Ein
stein, late United States Consul to Stuttgart,
who, as related in The Dispatch a week ago,
has been ruled off the Belgian and French
racing tracks because of what is known as "the
Spa scandal." Spo ting Life, the Sportsman.
and the sporting authorities claim that by all
the rules of fair racing the confession of the
jockey exonerating Einstei'i should restore to
him the privileges he held before, as was done
in England. Einstein himself will probably
bring suit to compel recognition of the injustice
done him unles the Continental Jockey Club
are brought to do him justice without coercion.
Several more cycling records have been
broken this week, viz: From 6 miles up to 22
Tniles. the latter distance being covered In 59

been ridden in 2 hours 3S minutes 3 seconds,
being 51 seconds better than the previous best

reduced to 6 hours 40 minutes 28 -econds, while
in 12 hours continuous riding lfH miles was cov
ered, being 5K miles better than the previous
record.
The fight between McAuliffe and Slavin is to
take place at the Ormonde Club early in the
week, though the exct time has not yet been
made public McAuliffo is still training at
Wells-Next-tbe-Sea. and Slavin at Dover
court There has thus far been little betting,
and that slightly in favor of Slavin. There is
not much interest felt in the match in Lon
don outside of the Ormonde Club itself and
inner prize fighting circles. The Ormonde
Club, however, still adheres to its extortionate
demands for seat", 20 for one admission being
the present quotation for tickets. These prices
will probably come down on the day of the fight
for there is not much probability that the swell
sporting element will pay any attention to tho
match. In the first place, the Pelicans are
down on Slavin because be refused to flsbt at
their club, and then the Ormonde is a third
rate institution in South London where the
ruffianly element is likely to predominate.
