Bailti of Trotting srd Running Races and the Leading
Sporting News of the Day.
The second local football match of the
season took place at Exposition Park yester
day, and though one-sided was exceedingly
interesting. The match was between the
Allegheny Athletic Club team and the
Shadyside eleven. The latter were greatly
overpowered in strength and that fact was
the chief reason of their easy defeat.
The weather was fine; the grounds in good
condition, and the attendance large and
lashionable. There was an unusual num
ber of ladies present and they enjoyed the
contest heartily. The manner in which the
match was appreciated generally showed be
yond a doubt that football is destined to be
come quite popular here. As to the merits
and demerits of yesterday's contest little
need be said. The youngsters from Shady
side were not strong enough to cope with
he big fellows of the Athletic Club. The
Sbadjside team ticlded well and showed very
good judgment, but they could not successfully
tackle the big fellows nor withstand their
rushes. The teams were made up as follows:
.Athletics. TosiUons. Shadyside.
Brown Left end F. Bcrger
Hammond Left tackle McCandless
J Oliver Left guard. Ganet
Moorhead. Center. .....Morrison
S. White Right guard Messier
Tonnley Itijbt tackle. W. Berger
KoDiuson Right end Morgan
Valentine Quarterback- Clark
Fry Kight half back. Fisher
H. Oliver Leu half back Speer
Thompson Full back ...Collins
Mr. A. Macpherson was umpire and had
hostilities commenced at 3-30. The contest
hadn't proceeded far until Fry scored four for
the Athletics by a touch down. Moorhead
tried to mako six of it by a kick, but failed.
Fry was lu form and he followed with auotber
touch down, scoring four moie and Moorhead
again missed a chance to kick goal. It was
thus early seen tint the oungters from
Shadyside" had no chance to win. White made
the thlra touch down and Fry missed a chance
to kick goal Alter some interesting play
Valentine scored a touch donn, aud in trying
to kick goal Fry hit the pc-t. This ended the
frst half, the score being 16 to 0 in favor of the
Athletics
The second half was quite lively, as Valen
tine made :. touch down, and Fry kicked goal
liefore pkw had proceeded far. Valentine made
a second touch dou n and Frj made a kick for
goal. Valentine made his third touch down,
Slid that was the end or the scoring and the
contest, the score slaudmg C2 to 0 in favor of
the A'iilctics.
The Athlrtics have a strong team, but prac
tice will certainly improve their fielding, and it
can stand improving to a great citent.

QUITE A EUEi?EISE
K. J. Baldwin States That Monmouth Park
Track AViU be Used for Trotters.
Chicago. October 18. E. J. Baldwin, the
well-known California horseman, in an inter
view last evening, said:
"You can tell horsemen generally that, be
ginning with next season, we're going to inau
gurate straight-mile trotting races at Mon
mouth Park, and then we'll see some record
breakers. Maud S and J I C will not be in it.
You'll see a two-minute mile record as sure as
you're born. We're going to offer big stakes
and get the test horses of the country there."
"Can better time be made over a straight
than a curved track?"
"Why, there's no doubt about it. The out
horse is alwajs at a disadvantage and the pole
horse alwajts has the best of it. In a mile race
I'll venture to say the out-horse has to run 50
to 60 yardi more in a curve mile track. There
being such disadvantages then at the start, it
is not remarkable that frequently it is not
always the best horse that wins the race, run
ning or trotting."

Lexington Banning Meeting.
Lexington, Ky October 18. The prospects
for a successful running meeting are very
bright. President Robinson and the directors
of the Association have spared neither money
nor pains to make the track the best in the
South. The new grand stand is just completed
and will hold 10.000 people. It is one of the
most substantial buildings in the country. The
club hoace, which is newly built, is a beauty.
About 300 horses are already quartered at the
track.
BASEBALL AFFAIRS.
Another Fruitless Conference Between the
Local Magnates The P. L. Stockholders
State on TVTiat Terms They Will Con
solidate. Another act in the local baseball farce was
performed at the Hotel Anderson last evening.
Representatives of the two clubs met, declared
themselves a little and closed the proceedings.
There was a good attendance of stockholders
of both clubs, but only Messrs. Nimick, O'Neill
and Scandrett, of the National League, and
Rae, McCallin and Brunell, for the Players'
League, voted.
A series of resolutions were passed to the
effect that it would be to the advantage of all
to have only one club in Pittsburg next season,
and that the two clubs existing at present
should be consolidated. When the question of
the respective interests the P. L. ceople and
the N. L. people in the proposed" new club
came up there was a complete break down and
the curtain dropped. The P. L. representatives
wanted to have 70 per cent of the new club,
leaving the old club stockholders only SO per
cent. Messrs. McCallin and Rae stated that it
was useless to discuss the matter, as that was
their ultimatum. The N. L. representatives
n earl v took a fit when the offer was made, but
Mr. O'Neill's eloquence revived them.
The N. L. representatives then proposed that
the question of the distrinution of interests in
proposed clnb be let t to the General Conference
Committee of the P. L-, N. L. ana Association.
This; was opposed by the P. L. representatives,
and resulted in a tie vote, and the affair ended.
Mr. Nimick was Chairmau, and Mr. Brunell
Secretary of the conference. The matter may
probably be dealt with by the General Com
mittee, and in the opinion of many it will be a
benefit to the city if all the leagues ignore the
local clubs entirely.
JULIAN HAErS OPINION.
He Returns to Boston and Tliinks the Base
ball Trouble Will Soon End.
Boston. October 18. Secretary Julian B.
Hart, of the Boston Ball Club, of the Players'
National League, returned from New York
this morning. He says that there will undoubt
edly be a compromise reached between the two
baseball organizations, but not on lines at alii
unfavorable to the Players' League. The ac
count ot what had been said in New York had
been greatly exaggerated. John Ward had not
said that he would play with the men who had
been falso to their agreements, but he ex
pressed himself that there could not be any
settlement on such a basis. The players on the
Boston and New York nines had expressed
themselves in a similar manner.
1 1 is not true that the players would not have
anything to say about the settlement, as they
bad equal say, and at the meeting of the Play
ers' League in New York, on Monday.'the
players will have equal representation with
the capitalists. The Conference Committee of
the Players' League has no power beyond that
of reporting to the Central Board ot Directors,
and this will be done on Monday.
Mr. Hart said that he had no fears at all
about the tuture as far as tho Players' League
and his club are concerned.

Van Hcest Settles the Englishman in Eleven
Battling Rounds.
SPECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Buffalo. October 18. In a Tonawanda
sporting resort eai-ly this morning John Van
Heest, of Ashland, Wis., "put to sleep" Mickey
Coburn, of England, in 11 rattling rounds. Van
Heest is a clever little tighter, and he has dem
onstrated by defeating Tommy Warren, at
Bradfoid, and now Coburn that he can easily
best any man of bis weight and possibly 15
pounds heavier. The punishment Van Heest
inflicted upon the Englishman was terrible, and
it was only a question of endurance on Co
burn's part. Van Heest received little punish
ment. Van Heest showered blows on Coburn for
11 rounds, when Coburn, being totally used up,
fell and was counted out. There were not
many spectators present, and the pnrse was in
Sroportion. A Buffalo man 'acted as referee,
ack Smith looked out for Coburn, and Man
ning for Van Heest. Jim Doyle and Jim Mc
Hughwcre timekeepers. The referee called
time at 1 o'clock. In the first round Van Heest
began pounding his opponent, and ho kept it
up incessantly until the eleventh Tound, when
it did not take him long to find the weak spot
in the Englishman, and with a right hander he
caught Coburn on the poi.it aud "Mickey"'
went down before be could regain his feet. The
allotted ten seconds had expired. ZTuo tight
was for $100. The sports from Buffalo had a
tough time in returning. The came up the
canal in a steam yacht, and when about half

DIXON AND MURPHY.
The Colored Champion Greatly Fancied by
the Talent to Win the Fight.
New York. October IS. M. J. Slattery. Sec
retary of the Gladstone Club, of Providence,
where George Dixon and Johnnie Murphy will
box next Thursday night for $1,700, writes that
both men are in excellent trim.
''Murphy can box at 110 or 111 pounds and be
strong," Slattery says, "and he will not weigh
more than 112 on the night of the contest. Dixon
weighs 115 pounds now aud bo will keep within
a few ounces ot that weight. Membership
tickets for this affair will be issued at $5 each
and. the prospects for an Interesting bout are
excellent. The betting here is 100 to 75 on
Dixon."
In tni3 city the match was discussed exten
tensively yesterday, and many small bets were
made at the St. James Hotel and the Hoffman
House. Dixon is a pronounced favorite and if
Murphy's stock continues to denreciate the
colored youth will in all probability enter the
ring first choice at 2 to 1 on. Tom Earley, of
Boston, who has won in the neighborhood of
$18,000 this fall on the horses, announced yes.
terday at the Elizabeth track. that be bad $5,000
to bet on Dixon. Dr. Ordway has several
thousand dollars to w ager the same way. and
Frank Stevenson has a few hundreds to bet
against Murphy.
LOCAL BILLIARDS.
Probabilities of a Tournament for Players
in and About Pittsburg.
Billiard playing in and about.the city is be
coming more popular than ever. There are
more players in the city than there ever were
and of a better quztity. Manager Davis, of the
Brunswick & Balke rooms, is trying to arrange
a local tournament, believing that it will tend
to bring to the front two or three of the most
promising players in the country. The tourna
ment will DO played under conditions some
thing like the following: One or two nights a
week and two or three hours per night. This
will enable all players to compete without neg
lecting tkeir business or ordinary engagements.
Good prizes will be offered.
Mart Mullen, a very good player from Cleve
land, has been in the city a few days and been
the center of attraction at Davis' rooms during
the week. Mr. Mullen is here onavislttosome
friends. He is a graceful and careful player.
The local rooms generally have been well
patronized during the week and the winter
season promises to be a very brisk one.

Costly Sporting Lands.
fET DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.
London, October 18. The immense increase
in the value of lands in the Scottish highlands
devoted to sporting purposes has been strik
ingly illustrated witbin the last few days. An
offer of 200, 0C0 has been made to Mr. Arthur
Balfour tor his forest of Stratbconan, near
Beauly. Half a century ago, when Mr. Bal
four's father, a brother-in-law of Lord Salis
bury, bought the estate of Whittingheme in
Haddingtonshire, on which Mr. Arthur Bal
four now resides, the forest of Strathconan
was thought of so little value that it was
thrown in to make up the bargain. It is not
very far distant from Balmacaan, for which a
great rental is now paid by Mr. Bradley Mar
tin, of New York.

that to pull a trigger on premises so covered is
against the law even during the onen season for

There has been a great deal of talk In the past
or arranging international football matches with.
England. It has always been Impracticable be
cause of the difference in the two games, and the.
fact that the best American teams are In college
and could not visit England during the football
Beason. There has recently been some discussion
relative to playing Canadian teams. Their game
is something of a compromise between the En
glish and American game, and an understanding
could easily be arrived at. Formerly the Harvard
team visited Montreal ou several occasions and
played against 'the Montreal Football Club. It
would certainly be interesting lr the Montreals
or Britannlas, the two crack teams of Canada,
should visit this country.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Beaver Falls, October IS. The sons of
John Funkhouser, the old gentleman who was
found dead in his lonely shanty in this place
last week, the body being in an advanced state
of decomposition, were well aware that their
.father had died possessed of considerable
('money, and since bis funeral a vigorous search

luao oi. euceuitic uauiu. keu. tue Knowledge
of his wealth to himself. The search"has been
quite successful so far. In the house in which
ho died was fouud $50 in cash and three bank
books showing deposits iu different banks
amounting to $4,200, also small amounts of
money in gold and silver hidden near the
premises.
The strangest find of all was made yesterday,
when one ot the sons stopped at a farm house
in North Sewickley township and in course of
conversation concerning the old man's death
the son learned that his father was the owner
of 40 acres of splendid farm land in that town
ship, valued at $4,000. None of the sons knew
of this land until yesterday. The search is
being kept up vigorously in hope that much
more treasure will be unearthed. A will has
been discovered, but across the face of it is
written, "There is a later- will than this."
Where the later will is, is a mystery.

.'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, October 18. Ex-President
Grover Cleveland, in a letter which he has
written to the United States African News
Company, gives an opinion in relation to
Isaiah T. Montgomery's speech in the Mis
sissippi Constitutional Convention, as fol
lows :
I have read the speech of Mr. Montgomery
with great interest. As an American 1 con
gratulate myself and my countrymen upon the
illustration which this speech affords of what
any of our citizens can do by a proper improve
ment of the advantages within the reacb of ns
all. And I am sure every colored citizen
should be proud of a representative of his race
who can make such a speech, even if it is re
garded simply as an intellectual effort and irre
spective of the opinions set forth.
It seems to me there are many Indica
tions that our colored people are fast reaching
a condition when they will think and act polit
ically as citizens of a country in which they
bave the same interest and duty as other citi
zens, instead of thinking and acting in a man
ner determined by traditions, prejudices and
color.

SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN.
Frosts Reported in the Tobacco Districts of
Tennessee.
IPBEPARED FOB THE DISFATCTl.l
The severe storm passed off tbe New England
coast to sea yesterday morning. Its last effects
were light showers and northwest winds, with
velocities from 20 to 24 miles an hour north of
this city. Fair weather prevailed generally
over the country, except for, light rain in
Florida, along tbe east gulf coast, and also in
Minnesota' and -Wisconsin. The latter rains
were occasioned by the formation of a storm
, center near Milwaukee. This is slowly increas
ing in energy and gives promise of high winds
and rain in tbe lake regions and northern New
York to-day. It will follow the path of the pre
ceding storm.
An area of high pressure over the South At
lantic States caused warmer weatnereast of the
Mississippi, while the high pressure in tbe
Northwest sent tbe temperature from 5 to 15
below freezing in all the States of tbe Rocky
Mountain district. Frosts occurred in tbe
region of the lower lakes and in the tobacco
districts of the Tennessee valley.
