The Eastern bookmakers will inaugurate
a svstem to-day that will certainly be ot
great interest to everybody who patronizes
sporting events. The system is of great im
portance, because it will prove whether or
not book-making firms can evade the law
that prohibits their business. The details
of the new move were explained yesterday
bv Edward Lear, manager of "Pittsburg
Phil's" business. Sir. .Lear arrived in the
city from New York yesterday and will stay
hero until to-morrow cvenm?. During a con
veisation with the writer, ilr. Lear said:
"Mr. Smith, uhoin o all know as Phil, has,
along with other bookmakers, been arrested for
betting on a race track, and the book-making
hi mshavo resolved to adopt a plan wmch will
keep them safe from the effects of the law.
WILL ORGANIZE CLUBS.
The plan is to have every book-making firm
organized into a club, and to-morrow Mr.
Smith's firm will be known as the 'Lochiel
Club. All of our busii.ess will be transacted in
that name, and I tuppose that other firms will
act similarly. The object of this move is that
if we do business as a club the
law officer cannot find' out who is
the bonatide proprietor. For instanre
if an officer comes and accosts me I can suear
that I am only an employe of the club, and so
can ilr. bmitti. Whether or not the plan will
lie successful we don't know, but we have re
solved to Jrv it. One thing is certain, viz that
it mil bo difficult to And out when the "clubs'
becm operation.
"All the trouble," continued Mr. Lear, "has
been caused by the selfishness ot ihe New
York pool-room proprietors. They have made
liunUrcds of thousands ot dollars on the races
and hae steadily refused to contribute one
cent toward the eipenseaof the various tracks.
1 will cite a case: The Dwj ers have a track and
they guarantee purs.es of great value for races.
Thrc may be au c ent for a guaranteed purse
loi which only one horse Marts and the attend
ance may be miserably small. That one horse,
howetv- can walk over the course and claim
the purse.
THEY HOS'l GIVE W.
The D vers will then be losers, and they say
to the pool room proprietors: 'Sott, you people
have made a fortune out of our races, and you
ought in fairness to pay something in return
toward the expenses of the track.' To this
question, and it has been asked, the pool-room
proprietors have emphatically declined to fork
oat a cei.t. Asa result no information regard-
in- me races ana weir results was al
lowed to be wired from the tracks. The pool
room proprietors to cet even have unearthed a
very old law in Sew Jersey, which forbids bet
ting on race tracks, and they have enforced the
law. Hence all the tumble. Our new scheme
is a novel one, and I think it will work well."
Mr. Lear then ent on to s-n- r'-at "Pittsburg
Phil" has cleared 5100.000 thi-, ieason by his
extraordinary nerve ami judgment relative to
turf matters. In his book-makinc business his
poorest paid employe recen e S12 per day, and
other- receive a-, high as K5 per dav. He no w
has six horses, including a very promising 2
1 ear-old named Wilroy. The youngster will
not run any until next year, and Mr. Lear says
good judces think lie will be anotner Tourna
ment. Good tliintrs are also said about Mon
tague, another of "Phil's" horses. "Pliil" has
decided to keep Kara and Sluggard going on
the winter tracks, and he expects thelormer
lo do very n ell.
Turner's Plain Matement.
George V. Turner, the celebrated starter of
sprint race, in reply to a request from Turf.
Field and Farm for a written statement con
cerning tbe start of the recent 100-yard cham
pionship race says:
"All I have to say is that the live men in the
final heat were standing perfectly steady when
the pistol was fired. Owen was the first to get
away from his mark, although F. W. Robin
son, who was in the final heat, claims that he
nd Owen both left their marks together. This
statement from Robiuson makes it look tbat
those who claim Owen cot the best of tne pistol
bv two yards do not know what they are talk
ing about, for no one has said anything about
Hobinson beating the pistol by a similar dis
tance. Lii Myers sas that he was standing
ten yards from the start and that Owen got the
best of the pistol by two yards. Now you know
as well as 1 wheti any man is running when the
mstolls bred I mean runnmc two yards the
best 'f the pistol. If a man beat the pistol by
two yards be should be about four yarns ahead
at the jard mark, yet Myers claims he was only
two j-ards ahead at this point. There is one
thing certain, and that is that Owen is the best
man to get away tbat I have seen for vears. He
left them all standing in tbe 220 yard run just
as he did in the 100 yards. George Goldios-ays
that the start of the latter distance wa-. per
fectly lair, and scores of other men will say the
Fame. Write and ask Robinson about it- He
ought to know something, for he was one of
Tho runners. I think the track is down hilL
and that, along with its being all clay, makes it,
uitliout doubt, a -iy fast one. This is simply
my idea of the track. It may oe perfectly level
nd I niaj be uustaLrn. hut I am not much mis
taken about the disputed start.
A Big Trotting Stake.
Cleveland. October 21. C J. Emery, of
this city, in connection with Tennessee and
Kentucky breeders.has inaugurated the largest
stake purse ever oflcred for trotting horses. It

for S-year-olds, foals of ISaO. aliboush the time
limitation has not been definitely decided
upon. Ihe total payments for each horse will
not exceed $350, and the entrance fee will be less
than three-fourths of 1 per cent. The place and
date ol trotting the race" w ill not be definitely
decided upon for some time. A number of
breeders have signified their intention of en

all settlements a-e made. The stake will bo
called the Americas Trotting Horse Breeders'

PSINCET0NS MAY COME.
The Prominent Kickers Want to Tackle the
Athletic Football Team Here.
There is a strong probability of football teams
from Princeton and Brooklyn coming to this
city to play m the near future. Yesterday
Secretary DawSen, ot the Allegheny Athletic
Club, received a letter from the manager of the
Princeton preparatory team relative to the
latter's coming here to play a match. The
Princeton manager went on to say that there
are two Pittsburgem in the team, and that the
players generally are wishful to play a match
against the new team in Pittsburg. The man
ager then goes on to sav that his team cannot
travel so far uuder a guarantee of 5160. This
figure is not considered too bisl., but the local
club cannot deal definitely with the matter un
til the negotiations, now going on with the
Crescents, are over.
Eiforts are now being made to secure the fa
mous Crescent team, of Brooklyn, for a match
here. That team is made up of 11 star players,
who have all done great thing" in the univers
ity teams in recent j ear-. Tho team includes
such players as Terry, Beeckcr. Edwardes, and
Bull.
Aue crescents piay lor a cnaritaui: od-
ject in Cleveland the Saturday following
Thanksgivins Day, and it is hoped that they
will be inuueed to play a match here on the
Monday. 3Ir. John Moorbead is corresponding
with Mr. Bull on tho matter. It certainly
would be a treat to Pittsburgers If the-Cres-cents
could be induced to visit the city. If they
cannot make it convenient to play here it is
certain that a date will at once be fixed with
the Princeton team. This all goes to show that
football is "on the boom" in Pittsburg.
The mat.agers of the Cleveland team will be
In the city to-dav to confer with Messrs.
Thompson, Moorhcad, and Dawsen relative to
dates for two matches.
Yesterday afternoon a large nnmber of local
players were at Exposition Park bard at work
practicing. To-day's game; contemplated
with interest, and if the weather is fine the
contest will probably be a lively one.

KEW POOL GAME.
A Method Snggested That "Will Better Test
the Skill of Experts.
New Yoek. October 21 A well-known pool
expert, Nat Ward, comes to the front with the
claim that he has founded a new game of pool,
which he calls the "champion game." Ward
thinks that continuous pool, as now played, is
not as interesting or scientific as it should be,
and be proposes to play it with 21 balls, instead
of tbe u-ual 15. The balls to be numbered from
1 to 2L size of balls to be 2 5-10 inches in dlam -
ter. The balls to be set up in pyramid lorm,
using a larger triangle than at present; rules to
govern, the same as iu the present game.
Ward is of tbe opinion that the game will prove
to be a great success if it only has a fair trial.
He claims that the chances for brilliant plays
will be increased with the 21 balls, and that tbe
player who now pockets all the balls with but
little effort, will rind the task a much more dif
ficult one w ith 6 additional balls on the table.
Mr. Ward's idea is not original with him.
Continuous pool is so called from tbe system of
scoring tbe game. It differs from any other
game of ball pool heretofore in vogue. Unlike
61 or 8-halI pyramid pool, the scoring of the
game is continual until all the ball in each
frame have been pocketed, and tbe game may
consist of any number of balls or points w hich
maybe agreed upon. Albert Frey, who, up to
t e time of his death, two years ago, was re
garded as invincible as a pool player. Invented
tbe came of continuous pool. Hls'idea was tbe
formation of a game tbat would be a better test
ot skill than 8-ball pool, which was tbe oue ex
clusively played at that time, to decide matches
and tournaments.
Frey's original idea was a game with 21. or
even 23, balls to play on, and he often spoke of
making ihe experiment with a view to adopting
such a game if tbe change proved successful.
He was forced to abandon the Idea, however, as
the billiard room keepers were opposed to it,
on thecronnd that it would increase their ex
penses and notsw-ell their receipts in propor
tion. Frey then gave his attention to the con
tinuous pool game, and, as this game met with
the approval of the room keepers, on account
of the quickness with which it could be played,
it was adopted, and has ever since been popu
lar. Ward's revival of Frey'-t project has caused
considerable discussion among billiard and
pool experts, both amateurs and professionals,
and many arguments in favor of and against
the proposed change, in which its advantages
and disadvantages have been freely discussed,
have taken place. Tbe mam objection to the
chanire seems to be tbe cost of tbe mx ad.
I ditional balls. The price of ivory pool balls has
vert uiucu increaseu iu lub pasi vear, anu a set
of 16 regulation balls, which cost a year ago but
$70. cannot now be bought for less than $100,
while a set of 21 would cost about $140. Tbis
increase in tbe price of ivory balls is due to the
fact that the supply is not equal to the demand,
and that ivory is growing scarcer and more
difficult to produce even' year.
Charles H. Manning, ihe present chamnion
at continuous pool, is not in favor of "the
change, and regards it as an impracticable aim
unnecessaryone. Albert Powers, the ex-cham-Dion,
is on the fence, and says he would have
to see the gameplayed before he would venture
to give an opinion. Hilly Sexton Is opposed to
Ward's idea, and thinks the game as it is now
played 13 plenty long enough and a sufficient
trial ot skill. "They had better study and
endeavor to perfect the rules," said Sexton,
when spoken to on the subject. They are
faulty, defective, and admitting: of more than
one interpretation as they now read. When
they have been corrected so tbatone can under
stand them it will be lime enough to add new
ones." Maurice Ualy thinks the present game
of continuous pool is sufficient as a trial of
skill, and that 2l-ball pool would not prove a
snecess. J. R. Heiser did not think tbe Idea
worthy of consideration.
LOOKS A UTILE BEIGHTEE.
Rival Baseball Magnates Have a Quiet Con
fab Regarding the Situation.
tSPECIAt. TKLLUltXM TO TUB niRrATOH.I
NewYobk. October 21. The baseball men
were conspicuous by their absence around the
Fifth Aveuue Hotel this morning. Only a few
managers were around, and they were occupied
with plans for signing men for next year.
Anson was found in his favored corner tbis
morning, aua said: "Yes. there are only a few
of us left." He has signed one or two players
since the ten-day rule went into effect.
The prospects of consolidation are extremely
bright. It is now definitely known tbat an in
formal meeting of the capitalists "of the
Players' League and the National League was
held late last evening in A. G. Spalding's room
in the Hoffman House. Those who met were
President A. G. Spalding atid C. H. Bvrne, of
the National League, and Messrs. E. B. Talcotr,
Albert L. Johnson and F. H. Robinson, of the
Players' League. President John B. Day was
unable to be present. A. a Anson was also
present.
Tbe Players' League men called on the Na
tional Leaguers, so it is said, to apologize for
the way the latter had been treated relative to
the action of the Brotherhood of Baseball
Players in refusing to allow them to keep their
agreement as explicitly made with the National
League that no player would be allowed on the
committee. They said they had acted in per
fect good faith and that they were powerless to
go ahead and act as they had at first promised,
although through no fault of their. The Na.
tional League men recognized the position In
which tbe members of the Players' League
committee were placed and aaw that they bad
been perfectly sincere in all their doings.
The entire sltnation was thoroughly dis
enssed, and the Players' League capitalists
fully agreed that something must be done to
save the reputation of the game. The National
League magnates forcibly reminded the Play,
ers' League capitalists that they, the National
League people, had been fooled. Inasmuch as
THE
the original agreement of the Conference Com
mittee hadn't been lived up to. It is """"
stood that both parties agreed on a plan ny
which negotiations for a. settlement can be re
sumed. .Everybody, ecent o few hotheaas,
wants a consolidation.

A BRILLIANT OPENING.
The Ideal Concert Sextet Enthusiastically
Applauded by Jlernbers of the Y. 31. C.
A. and Their Friends Excellent Music
and Splendid Readings-A Day's Society
Events.
A more enthusiastic audience is seldom seen
han filled, or rather packed, Old City Hall
ast evening. There was scarcely breathing
room, let alone standing room, and the aggre
gation consisted of tbe cultured and refined
people of the two cities, who thoroughly en
joyed "ap evening with Thomas Moore in song
and poem by the Ideal Concert Sextet of New
York."
The entertainment was the first of this sea
son's course ot the Y. M. C. A., and its snecess
augurs well for the remainder of the series.
The sextet that received almost an ovation last
evenmc: consists of Miss Eleanor Beebe,
soprano; Miss Louis'; MundelL contralto; Mr.
Charles Stuart Phillips, tenor; Mr. Frederic
Reddall, bass, Mr. Victor Harris, accompanist,
and Miss Carrie Louise May. reader.
In tbelr personal appearanec as in their per
formance they were vere very effective. The
gentlemen in the regulation evening dress, and
the ladies in charming semi-decollettc toilets of
delicate tints presented a very pleasing picture
as they made their appearance upon
the platform, and received a warm welcome
before they demonstrated their'cliams to the
title of artists. The flrst.selection, "The Dawn
is Breaking." was a quartet rendered without
accompaniment. When the apnlanse sub-ided
"Tbe Minstrel Bov" was rendered by Mr.
Frederic Reddall with very bappy effect. Miss
Carrie Loui6e Rav then appeared, and sue
ceeded with her beauty, gracefulne. and
faultless recitations of "Who'll Buv My Love
Knots?" and "Sing, Sing. Music was Given" in
arousing the audience to such a degree that a
reappearance was inevitable. And in response
to the rapturous applause given her she re
cited the "Convention of the Birds," in which
she initiated most cleverly the mocking bird,
bobolink and various other songsters, therelw
creating a decided furore. Misses Mundefl
and Beebe and Messrs. Phillips, Reddall and
Harris all aquitted themselves in an excellent
manner in their separate and united perform
ances, and the programme closed with "The
Rainbow" by the quartet.
The npxt entertainment wdl be civen No

H enson, the celebrated Chicago divine.
A SIGHT OF JAPAN.
"Wedded as In the Orient for the Benefit of a
Church.
Tse and Oye Sam were married last evening
with all the pomp and glory befitting the
nuptials of distinguished Japanese social favor
ites. The wedding was celebrated in Liberty
School Hall, and tbe bride in real life is known
as Miss Birdie Babst, while the groom's every
day name is Mr. Grant Reed. Though not
particularly new, a Japanese wedding never
loses its novelty, and a large audience assem
bled last evening to witness the pretty panto
mine, for such it is. no words being considered
necessary to unite in matrimony the inhabitants
of Japan. The go-between, as the nerson is
called who ties the knot, was for the event
Miss Maud McCrickard, and with great dignity
did she conduct the rather lenghthy kneeling
and bowing and drinking of tea that
constitutes tbe marriageceremony. The enure
party were arrayed in the most gorgeous Jap
anese raiment, and the platform whero the red
tape performance was carried out was likewise
Japanesed with luxurious rugs, handsome
divans and heavy drapings. The trroom's par
ents. Miss Wightman and Mr. A. Brown, and
the bride's parents, Mii Lizzie Reed and Mr.
Ben Evans, with six fairy-Iiko maidens, at
tended the bappv bride and groom to the altar
and remained with them until the ceremony
was complete. Following tbe wedding was a
tamborine drill by 20 dainty little maidens in
bewitching costumes, trimmed with pretty
colored ribbons, whose gracefulness was
greatly appreciated by tbe spectators.
A musical programme was also rendered, in
which Misses Lizzie Reed and Irene Samnles,
M ssrs. Cannon and Horner appeared to excel
lent advantage.
The entertainment was in charge of Rev. S.
R, Gordon, and tbe lady members of tbe Church
of the Covenant, of which Rev. Gordon is pas
tor, and the proceeds will benefit the church.
A Happy Home-Coming.
A very enjovable reception was tendered

Tbe marriage of Dr. J. H. Reed, of the East
End, was quite a surprise to his many friends.
It occurred atthe Bast End Hotel, at 8 o'clock
Friday evening, and tbe bappy bri'de was Miss

Conjjellsville, Pa., October 24. The
activity of the coke region Socialists con
tinues to increase. Tlipirmeetingsarebeing
held with great regularity. On Sunday
alternoon there was a large mass meeting
held at Trotter, where the speeches of the
leaders were most enthusiastically received.

of the devout disciples of Herr Most, and
the leaders say there were many conversions.
On "Wednesday evening a similar meeting
was held at Broad-Ford, with equally flat
tering results to the speakers.
This movement is of but recent date. Last
August, A. Jonas, a prominent Socialist
was here and formed lodges at Scottdale
Pennsville, Everson and Hawkeye, each
lodge numbering but 20 to SO members. Since
Jonas' advent the local leaders have been
hustling and have organized 14 new lodges and
say tbey have a total membership of 2,500
while conservative people say their number
rather exceeds than falls below that number.
In addition to this there are new converts com
ing in daily and it is claimed that within a few
months the membership will be nearly doubled.
There was a secret meeting of delegates in
Scottdale ome time ago. where nothing at all
that was done, reached the press. The mem
bers are nearly all Germans and transact all of
their business and make most of their in
cendiary speeches in that language. The names
of their leaders, presiding fficers, organizers
or members are not disclosed.
It is said the order will take part in a quiet
way in the coming election. Several candidates
who are known to be anti-Socialisis have been
spotted, and will be voted against solidly bv the
order. The members claim tbatthe sole object
of their society is the elevation of labor by
peaceful means, and that their members are all
law-abiding and respectable citizens.

.frECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Erie, October 24. Poor Lizzie Salow. the
lovely daughter of one of Erie's prominent
business men, lies a corpse to-nignt as the final
end of her foolish infatuation for her brother
in-law. George Bluum: The attentions of her
brotber-in-law created attention a year ago,
and when her sister told her what the peonle
said, she was so mortified that she threatened
to drown herself.
Yesterday a telegram was received by the
girl, a rather unusual thing for Lizzie Salow,
and when her mother made an effort to secure
It she burned tbe message. The brother-in-law,
who bad recently moved to Meadville,
soon followed tho telegram In person. At an
early hour this morning Lizzie Salow was miss
ing from her sister's side, and the heavy
hearted father and brother reached the depot
just in time to frustrate an elopment. Bluhra
was arrested and locked up, but the foollsti
cirl escaped from the depot, aud, alter making
circuitous tour, reached ths bay and ended tbe
chapter with a tragedy. Before her dead body
was found, Bluhm bad succeed in gettln" a re
lease upon promises. The feeling is so intense
against him tbat be has flown, for it is as
yet not clearly demonstrated that the cirl
destroyed herself without his presence.

cannon could be procured to shoot it with
Yesterday the big gun was taken to the wellj
being hauled with four horses, and using dumb
bells for balls, the big pipe was cut off with
two or three well directed shots. This was all
that they hoped to do with the battery The
well continues to burn, however and last' nieht
the great flame, a dozen miles to the south of
this place, shot up into the sky and made a
brilliant light on the streets of Waynesbuic
As tbis place is suffering somewhat from the
scarcity of gas It was rather a tantalizing sight
to the many consumers to see the great waste
of millions of cubic feet of the coveted fuel
The fire will no doubt cause the temporal
shut-down of a number of oil wells which are
being drilled in the immediate vicinity of the
Worley, as their boilers were heated bv tras
from tbat well. J
