f ' THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDA7. OCTOBER 26, 189( 14 v&ir AREVIEWQFSPORTS Opinions About the Alleged Sprint ing Eecord of Carey and its Probable Results. AMATEURS AKD PROFESSIONALS. A Few Words About Baseball Affairs and the Great Conference That Sever Came. DUCK'S EASI DEFEAT OF MDEPfll. Smirks Akrct EiiTia ul Bdlhta isd Other Sportfcg treats. Without doubt tbe creat sportinc erect of the lt few days. I may bit of tbe year, b as been tbe allezed feat of Carey in rnnnlns 100 yards iu 9J seconds. I use tbe word alleged in no sense ol Inncndo. bat merely because up to date. Saturday evening, as far as I know, tbe record bas not been officially accepted. As far as public statements is newspapers are con cerned, there seems to be nothing that will pre vent the acceptance of the record, but it is satisfactory to know that Carey's claim -will be thoroughly tested by a number of com petent and honorable ccntlemen. Their findtnc will satisfy me. Asuminc that the claim isa ralid one. it suscests many interesting thoughts. In the first place it tells us bow stupid and ab surd has been all the talk in recent years about this man or that man poincout at an hour's no tice and snriotinc 100 yards in even time or bet ter. Lately some very prominent people who write on sporting matters have reallv talked about "even lime" in a way that suggested the notion that almost any sprinter in tbe coun try could do it. Now, when the claimsof Owen and Carej are put forward people who have a sound, practical knowledge of tbe matter, and whose business it is to esnress an opinion on it look upon the event as phenomenal, and it is phenomenal. Of coarse. Award's- alleged record of 9 has been discarded, and ought never to have been accepted, bat if C.irev's claim U a sound one, I feel quite satisfied that if George Seuard had been three or four yards la front of Carey at the Mart in the recent race Seward would have finished sicond. Well, then, tbe claims of Onen and Carey show clearly to the world that even time is not so easv to do after all. Certainly there have been numerous objections against the acceptance nf Carey's record. That i as it ought to be, be cause everv claim ought to be si fed to its remotest limits, to that when one is ac cepted we can feel satisfied that it is correct. In the past records, particularly sprinting records, have been accepted witlitob inoch laxitv. We are almost alnays readv to dispute tbe phenomenal and it is only evidence of the very clearest mind that will remove our doubt ami often i is not removed then. This fact puts all tlioe phenomenal records on the defensive, which is just as it ought to be. I suppose that Carev and his frieiids have made their case up fully, and until the A. A. U. committee has pronounced upon it u would be very preumptious on my part to take anything regarding it for granted. Wo must wait a few days before dealing further with it. But Carey's claim at least goes f prove that Owen's record ought to gn. Bv the way, I discussed Owen's claim last week and in doing so I referred to Mr. Myers. From what I said some frietidshave in feaed that I meant Mrers had not a record of running 100 yards n ten seconds. I neither said nor meant any such thing. 1 was dealing with cation l amateur championship races, and in these Myers' nest time was 10 1-5 seconds. I was aware that he ran the '100" in even time ten years ago, but I said be never made a 100 yamTPConl. He ran the distance in even lime in 1SS0, but there were two men before him with that record and both were amateurs, so that Myer' did not make a rec 'd, but only equalled one that hureen made in ISiS bv W. C. Wilmer in h Ihampionsbip content, and by It. L. La Jlon--ague in tbe same year. Therefore my state ment that Myers bad "tried to make a 100 yard record and failed" was correct. I make this explanation because that excellent authority Turf, Fi Id and Famt in doing me tbe honor to reprint my view on the matter seems to have overlooked the facts that I have jnst mentioned. But as I was jest saing,if Carey's coirect lime a,t Princeton was any where near 9 seconds, that goesaverv long way in proving that Owen must have been bet ter than evens when he defeated Carey at Washington only two weeks ago. A Booin for Amateurs. Tbe recent feats of amateur athletes' srre to me the most pleasing signs in sporting affairs, because they will do much toward popularizing amateur contests throughout the country. For the sake of sport and tot tbe success of ama teurism I would, indeed, like to see Carej's record be accepted. I don't hesitate to say that in recent years professionalism l;as done more to ruin, and even degrade, good and bonest sport than years of labor will redeem. I don't even exclude baseball. In that branch of sport, which has degenerated into a business it seems to me that professionalism is on its trial, and that from now on much care seed be exercis d or else, tbe entire business will be hopelessly ruined. Well, nothing will prove surh a pow erf ul antidote to the poisons of professionalism as the success of the amateurs. I have bad a strong love for professional sports for very many years, but tbe present tendencies of the pro fessionalism of to-day in almost every branch of sport is of a downward course. "This is a sweeping a sertion. but if we take the trouble to examine each brancb we will dieover its truth to tbe fullest extent. During the last few years amateurism, particularly in the United States, has made very rapid strides. There are now hundreds of amateur performers where there were not scores, and this being the cae we need not be surprised to find an im provement in quality. Human nature is not stationary: w must eitber go forward or backward, and with amateurism increasing in popularity we ought to expect to find an im provement in amateur talent. Baseball Affairs. All the glory of baseball has gone; it is proba bly in temporary obscurity, but whether it is or not. It is almost necessary to apologize before commencing to say a few words on the subject. I don't intend to say much, because I am proba bly as much surfeited with tbe present baseball humbug as the public certainly is. The con ference, or rather the proposed conference ended in smoke. In other words, there was no conference at all except a private gathering of magnates, after the conference bad been stopped to express mu ual regret because they bad not allowed the conference to go on. Bapient magnates! Why the conference was stopped cau be explained in a few words. Three representatives each from the American Association, the Players' league and the Xationl League agreed bouie time ago to meet and confer relative to formulating a plin of cons -lidation. It was distinctly understood that no players should take part iu tbe deliberations of the capitalls s. The day of meeting came and the aforrsald agreement was broken, as tbe P. L. repre sentatives appeared with three additional members, and these members were plavers. This was to all intents and purposes a direct violation of the original agreement, and the J. L. and Association representative resented It. It is amusiDg to read tbe charges and countercharges of the parties concerned in this conference that never came. However, there is no getting over tbe fact that tbe P. Xj. made a mistake in insisting on the presence of their three additional members. At first this step was de fended on the plea that the players bad a right to be represented at the conference. This pie as- so defenseless ibat it was speedily dropped. No business men a'lniit their work-me-t into conferences of tbe firm to discuss basin -ss plans. Workmen do not desire it. j nen rn piea mat theie were six national agreement representatives on tbe committee, ' and there ought to be six Players' League rep resentatives, vtas put forward. This nlea was useless because the conference was not to uis ff enss tbe national agreement at all, but only to try and formulate a plan of consolidation. But this conference con mittee was uot abso lute and why h' uld tbe Players' League break agreements regarding its composition? Wbat 4 ever that committee agreed uion would have to be submitted to tbe Players League, and certainly there would be ample opportunity then to reject or accept anything or everything. Certainly there are strong influences at work trying to foil all plans of consolidation. Their work is no -credit to them. There are a few email Taystif hope or a settlement. If there is no settlement. made the public then basa duty to perform and that is to wash Its bands of the entire business. Tbe All-America Cricket Team. Judging from present indications there U likely to be some unnleassntbess regarding tbe makeup of tbe American cricket team who are to go to England next year. A correspondent writes me to the effect that the Philadelphia players are trying to arrange matters iu a way that no player except American-born players shall play in the team, and my correspondent asks the question. Is this falrT Of course it is not fair, nor is it good policy. Jt Is neither .fair to the good players that will be left behind, nor to the country, nor even to the English men against whom the American team will compete. As far as 1 can understand the matter tbe object of tbe Americans is to pre sent to the Britishers tne best possible cricket te im that we can produce; of course the selec tion will be a matter of judgment; and if a rule is made that absolutely prevents any chance of our best plavers going, then the team cannot possiblv be a representative team, and I ques tion verv much if anybody will look upon it as such. Well, then, if only American born cricketrs are allowed to go to England on tbe team, I don't think that anybody will for a mo ment contend that tbe Britishers will face tbe best 11 cricketers that we can send. Mark. I am not arguing this qnestion because of any nationality there rnav be in it. I am only try ing to show the absurdity of a team going abroad calling themselves the "All-America" team and announcing the fact that i hey are tbe best 11 plavers in America. Certainly any 11 men have perfect right to go. where they choose and nnder any conditions" as to restrictions of nationality, buttliey have no right to repre sent themselves as something that tbey are not. We have many players in America who were not born in this country, but whose cricket "playing 'has been developed, nay, almost en tirely learned, in this country. Some of them are among tbe very best" players in tbe United States. What about them? Are they not in all respects American cricket players? I could men tion several names w ere it necessary, and as soon as these names are mentioned people in terested in the game would see that my conten tion is right. But why tills intended rule? I am told that it is to confine the "honor and en joyment of tbe tnn to Philadelphia players." If tbis be true, it is a pity that selfishness so tar predominates over a love for the welfare of tbe game. The question is a national one, and those who propose to have the proposed condi tions enforced would do well to think the mat ter carefully over. Why. if only native Ameri eans'go to England to play, they will find teams there and will likely play against them in which men are playing who are not born En glishmen. Football at Home. It is pleasing to find that tbe good old game of football is taking a good bold in Pittsburg. The season is not yet far advanced, but we have had unmistakable proof that bundreds of young men are favorably inclined toward tbe game. There is one great drawback, viz: the uncertainty of the weather, bnt despite that fact it is quite plain that football can be made quite popular in and about Pittsburg. There have been several matches played here alreaay but I venture to say that not one-bait of the players in the vicinity have been on tbe field. The other day I received a letter signed "A Parent" in which the writer went on to sav that he took more delight in a football match than in any outdoor contest. But he pointed out that his "son could not be allowed to play under Rugby rules, because they give op portunity for injuries." "A Parent" goes on to argue ior the adoption of Asso ciation rules and concludes by very generionsly warning me agrinst advocating anything favorable to the Rugbv rules. It is not my intention in any way to argue in favor of the above codes or say anything against them. Bat there is one thinglcan lairlvsuirffest and that is that a match be arranged to be played under Association rules. There are, in deed, a great many people who believe in the latterrules and who will have nothing whatever to Uo wi h the Rugby code. I may also fairly add that accidents happen no matter what rules are iu operation just as accidents occur in base ball games and cricket matches. It would certainly be well for the gentlemen who are so earnestly trying to popularize the game here to grant tbe requests of tho-e who patronize the sport. I mean grant requests to a reasonable extent. I am informed that if Association rules were put into operation there would be two or three good local clubs to the front at once. All legitimate encouragement ought to be given to those w bo are trying to organize cluns. I am also reminded that it might be well to offer something in tbe way of a prze to be competed for by clubs in Allegheny county during tbe season. This is something that the Allegheny Athletic Club could easily do, and I think the venture would be a successful one. Indoor Athletics. Tbe other day Prof. Kitchener, of the East End Gymnasium, announced that be has re solved to try and arrange a long list of indoor athletic contests to take place in this city in tbe near future. Tbe Professor's intention is a deal more suggestive than many people would think on first sight. It not only suggests to us a night of excellent sport ana entertainment, but it further suggests why are there not such contests regularly? To my mind there is nothing more entertaining during a winter's night than young athletes contesting in tbe various branches of athletics. It is not only interesting to the onlookers, but by all means it is of tbe greatest benefi to tbe young men whose ambition is to keep in "g.od form." In very manv cities the trouble with numerous good athletes invariably is that they get so tar out of form during the winter months that tbe summer is nearly half over before they get into anything like good condition again. There is a reason for this, and it is easy to bnu. During the winter there are no con tests prompting tbe athletes to regular exer-ci-e. and as a rtsult tbey first drop this branch and then another until they scarcely have any exercise at all. except n-inga pair of dumb-bells or a pair of Indian clubs on a morning before breakfast. In many cases even tbe duruli-bell effort is dispensed with. Well, if indoor alihletic contests were regularly held during tbe winter there would be as much inducement for altbletic exercise in winter as in summer, and probably more. And I am inclined to think that if these indoor contests were to become regular they would be more successful than many of the field days. Prizes of good value could be offered and contests for championship titles could be arranged. There is another feature of this question. There are many branches of athletic exercises that woald be much more entertaining within a building tban on an open ground. I need not repeat tbe names of these branches because we are all familiar with them. In short, I have often wondered wby in such large cities as Pittsburg there are not reg ular 'Indoor field days," as a friend of mine used to call them. I trust that oar friend, the Professor, will succeed in holding bis meeting, and tnat it will be a great success. Of course, it mav be difficult to secure a suitable builamir. but if the Exposition building could be had for" a nigut tuen it might be prontabln for the East ern and Western champions to come here and compete. Now that this ball has been set "a rolling" Ibope it mil be kept going. Among the Pugilists. Frank P. Slavm is determined to let the pub lic and John L. Sullivan know that be can talk as well as fight: indeed Mr. Slavm, it all reports are true, is also determined to let tbe world know that be can play at acting on the stage as well as an body else. During the week we have learned tu o things, at least we bave been told two things. One is that, in tbe estimation of F. P. Slavm. John L. Sullivan is a "blow bard, a enr and no fighter." The second is that this same Mr. Slavin is engaged to play the leading part In the "A Dark Secret' Surely the world must be fast neanng the end of its course. But still another surprise. It bas also bi en stated that Peter Jackson is to take the leading part in a drama to be written specially for bim. After this we mav not be surprised if we bear of Dr. Talmage, Rev. C. H. Spurgenn. President Har rison and the Prince ol Wales giving public boxing exhibitions in Barnnm's Circus. Mr. Sullivan, not Barry Sullivan, John I. has de clared to the world that there is more monevin acting than in fighting. This declaration has doubtlessly fired the other bruisers with ex traordinary zeal to call into action tbe latent talent which has been lying in obscurity so lone and to tbe like of which a Booth, a Forrest, an Irving or a Macready could never ascend. Alas for the. proprietor of the Sullivan show; they are to have rivals. I suppose that pour Joe MeAuliffe will resolve to .become, a dramatic antb'r or operatic composer. But to revert to Slavjn's "few words to John L." Patting joking aside there was much truth in the statement that Sullivan bad not many, if any, first-class men out. Bnt there is a very good reason for his. He hadn't tbe chance. When Sullivan was Sullivan no man who faced him' ap peared to be first - class, because his superiority over them was so great. Certainly I am mmdf ul-of bis contest witb Mitchell, -and I am also a-vare of the circumstances of that affair. These circumstances made the contest extremely exceptional, and do not affect my contention. Supp ise that F. P. Slavin of to day had faced John L. Sullivan when Rran faced him. what would bave been the resul'? Chaos for Slavin. But who bas Slavin knockeil down? Wh it is even now claimed by leading spnr'ing authorities in England that the Sla-vin-McAuiiffe affair was a fraud. They are now "doing" the English provinces together as exponents of ihe manly art. Let me ask one ?tie-tion regarding the self-named champion rom Australia. Why did be always disappear when efforts were made to match him to fight Jackson? He did so, ana lie is the man who charges Snlltvan with cowardice and inability to fight. If Sullivan were In tbe condition that ke has been, .most certainly it would be more profitable to Slavin to even'be the interrogator in a fifth-rate uiinstrtL.tronpe tban .to meet John L. Sullivan in a prize ring. , i Dixon and Murphy. Certainly the event of tbe week in the pugil istic world, if we can use tbe term, has been tbe encounter between George Dixon and J. Murphy. I dare say followers of public form would not be surprised at the outcome of the battle, because as far sspabllo form went Dixon had easily 2 to 1 tbe beat of it. I am frank enough, however, to say that I had ex pected Dixon to be hailed the winner much sooner tban two hour and some minutes. That tbe contest lasted so long was somewhat of a surprise to me, and goes a great way in proving a conclusion to which I' will refer presently. Regarding the battle per se there need no. much be said. J have carefully looked over general exhaustive accounts of it, and I cannot come to any other con clusion than saying that Jt was too one-sided to be interesting. On Dixon s side thero was science and power, while, com paratively speaking. Murphy bad nothing but indomitable pluck. The latter kep him there as a human target much longer perhaps than 7 out of every 10 "bantams" would have stayed. Murphy was outfought at every point, althongh he would probably have made more effective efforts bad be not broken bis thnmb in tbe first round. But at bts verv best be is no match for Dixon. But there is a" very important question to ask about Dixon. How is It tbatit took him more than two hours to knock snen a com paratively easv victim as Murphy into a belp lnsft condition? Mnrnhv wa nnl : knocked OUI. He was "in" when the sponge went up. For more than two hours Dixon, according to re ports. hacUittle else to do but "ibnn-p away at Murphy, and Dixon's condition at the termlna tlou of bo-tilities went to show that he (Dixon) had been very leniently dea.lt with. Well, I can not come to any other conclusion tban this: tbat Dixon is not what the pugilistic fraternity calls a punisher. Had he lead anyihing like that in the battle in question Murphy certainly could not bave kept on bis feet for more tban two hours. There is one of two things that we must admit: all the reports of the battle must have been ri iculously wrong, or else Dixon is not an effective bitter. I am not contending that Dixon Is not a very good man. Ladmtt that he is, bnt I am drawing attention to the fact that be was a remarkably long time, under the circumstance, in settling Murphy. The same thing was apparent in tbe battle between Dixon and Cai McCarthy, when they fought for the championship. Although McCarthy had only one band during more than half of the figut Dixoii couldn't inflict puniuta ment enough to finish McCarthy, aud the cun testwas declared a draw. And this suggests another question. Dixon is heralded all over as the cnampion "bantam-welshi" "f tbe world. Where did he earn tbe title? When did hede feat McCarthy? and why did he leave London when ivery large forfeits were up in behalf of other "bantams" to light him? .Dixon may be tbe superior of all "bantams," but certainly he ought to run the risk of proving it before he claims the honor of doiug so. Iti-a fact that when he met Wallace in their Pelican Club burlesano that he did not meet the best "bantam" in England. At that very time there was a stake or FioOO for Fred Jobnson to fight either Dixoii or Wallace under any rules, and to this day Johnson's challenge has been ig nored. 1 am not pasing an opinion on the re spective merits of Dixon and Jobnson, but I want to knnwwhrDknn is termed tbe "bantam champion." Doubtless McCarthy and Dixon will now get reany for another try, and a con test between them will certainly be one of the most interesting that bas taken place in pugilism for a long time. Fighters In General. There is no prospect of a battle between Jack MeAuliffe and Myer for a long time to come. Circumstances bave caused the former to resolve to go to Europe for four or five months, at least that is McAuliff e's present in tention. As far as tbe proposed battle is -concerned I fancy that few will regret if It never takes place. None of us bave forgotten the last affair between Myer and MeAuliffe, besides the former ought to try and redeem himself from tbe defeat that Bowen administered to him before reaching out for champions. It is also stated that when MeAuliffe goes abroad be will challenge Carney to a fight. If this is done, and ir the challenge is accepted, a fair contest between these two would be worth a dozen contests with Myer. The unsatisfactory way in which the battle between Carney and MeAuliffe ended bas made thousands curious to know who really is the better man. Much can be said on both sides, but ouly a bona fide contest between them can settle the -question. There is still much uncertainty about a battle between Demp-eand Fttzsiin mons. One day we are told that they bave signed articles to fight, and tbe next day we are told the contrary. The great obstacle seems to be the formidable reacb and strength of Fuzslmmons. But there is one fact becoming more and more apparent among fighters in general every day.'viz.: that their business is rapidly vanishing. Prize fights and prize fight ers of all kinds are being rigidly vetoed and watched in all directions, nd it is now an ex ception when a battle ot note is allowed to take place. Pbinulb.

Fritz and ,Pfeiffer Found Gnilly, as Charged in the Indictment QUICK-W0EKJN THE JURY BOX. A Pittsburg Plate Glass Director Who Says He Was Ij'tfed. TUB COURT CTJLUNGS OP IESTEEDAI Jobn PeifFer and Simon Fritz were tried yesterday in the United States District Court oa the cliirgeoi having counterfeit coin in their possession, Fritz was con victed a ferf days ago of passing counterfeit money. P'eiffer, who was arres ed in Chi cago, was only brought here yesterday. Chief Murphy, o' Allegheny, testified to the arrest of Fritz and th finding of counter feit money on him. It was also shown that Fritz and Pieiffer had stopped together at the European Hotel. "United States De tective McSweeney testified to "having lonnd 118 counterfeit half dollnn in the room occu pied by Fritz and Pfeiffer. He also de tailed statements made to him by P eiffi-r. The latter claimed that Fritz had induced him to go into the business and that Fritz made tbe money and both passed it, Fritz paying him for tbe work. Pfeiffer was nlaced on the stard and cor roborated what was told bv Detective Mc Sweeney. Be claimed tbat Fritz just got out of State prif on and made him go with him, threatening to kill him if he would not. Ho said Fritz was beje four years ago and took away $300 in good money, leaving counterfeit instead of it, Fritz at this point insisted on telling his story on the stand. He said that Pfeiffer made the money at well a him. They both made the money for which Fritz served a term in Joliet, but tbe witness said be never "peached" on Pfeiffer. As he had told now, however, he wanted people to know that Pfeiffer was as guilty as he. If he went to prison. Pfeiffer should go to. Tbe money passed by them was made in Pfeiffet's house. The jury found both men guilty without leaving tbe box. SATS HE WAS EJECTED. One Director of the Pittsburg Plate) Glass Company Sues the Others. A bill in equity was filed by John F.

Tbe bill sets forth that he was duly elected a director by the cumula tive vote of the minority stockholders in Janu ary last, and as such is entitled to access to tbe books of tbe company and admission to tbe works. It is alleged he has been retarded in tbis by tbe defendants since April last, and was refused access to the books to see or learn anything nf the incumo of '-the business, its profit.- or disbursements, or in lact anything pertaining to its management; that ihe de fendants have rudely and profanely repulsed his efforts in this rcgafd,and bave asserted that be shall have no access n hatever to tbe books of the company. He asserts further, that tbe defendants have I-sucd orders refusing hitn admission to tbe factory at Ford City, and tbey bave been en forced by subordinates to the extent of plirstc ally ejecting bim. notwithstanding his official position as a director nf tbe company, tie a-ks tbat tbe defendants be perpetually enjoined from interfering ith his access to tbn works or to his examination of ihe books of tbe firm.
