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.

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
