The battle between Tommy Danforth, of 2ew Orleans, and "Keddy" Brennan, of Streator, ended in a great disappointment to-day. After fighting eight rounds darkness pre vented the contestants from fighting any more, and the affair was declared a draw. The entire party left the city early this morning, and owin to some misunderstand ing about the battle ground, the latter was not selected until a late bonr tbis afternoon. The ring was pitched at a point within 100 miles of this city. When the contestants entered the ring they both looted in good condition. Brennan was about 130 pounds and Danforth a pound or so heavier. Fitznnmons and Jimmy Carroll sec onded Danforth and Billy Myers and Hugh McManus looked after the Streater represent ative. The fight, as long as it lasted, reeds lit tle description, as there was no noteworthy fea ture In it. Danforth was favorite and had a little the best of tbe battle. But when the tight started it was plain to see that it could notlast to a finish because darkness was so near at hand. NeithGr man was much punished and tbis fact induced the referee to call the affair a draw. The Danforth party want to finish the Sght as soon as possible, and this may be done. Danforth was confident of victory, bnt Bren nan stood up better than was expected. The crowd was thoroughly disgruntled at tbe man agement of the affair. During tbe day Kitzsimmons said that he is quite ready to tight Dcmpsey or any middle weight in the world. Will Back McCarthy. New York, November 9. If Cal McCarthy and George Dixon come together again in a contest of any kind there will be a big amount of money wagered on the result. Many sport ing men of this city think that McCarthy has made a foolisb move in signingarticles of agree ment to box Dixon twenty-rive ronnds with four-ounce gloves for a pure of 2,500, offered by the Puritan Athletic Club. Joe Early. Cal's old backer and manager, was seen by a reporter of tbe Sun csteraay, and he said that McCarthy bad lost 25 per cent of the match before entering the ring by agreeing to box with four-ounce gloves. "Cal shouldn't meet Dixon," he said, "under any other conditions than to finish with skin tight gloves. If he bad held out, Dixon would have in time consented to a match of tbis kind. If tbey do Sght to a finish with skin gloves I'll bet Dixon or bis backer 51,000 that McCarthy whips him. The pair of them are very foolish indeed to sign for snch a purse when they can easily get S4.000 gate money by meeting with skin tights to a finish." WAITING TOE THE MEETDfO. New York Magnates Won't Do An tiling Until After To-Morrow. New York. November 9. The local Play crs' League Clul will take no further steps to ward an amalgamation with its National League competitor until after tbe meeting of the Players' League at Pittsburg, if at all. Direc tor E. 15. Talcott says that he will not bo able to get to Pittsburg for the meeting, but that tbe club will be represented by Colonel Mc Alpm and Secretary Robinson and probably Captain Ewing. "I know nothing abont any legal action proposed to be entered against onr club," said Mr. Talcott. "and can't see on wbat grounds any conld be begun. We have done nothing and propose to do nothing that conld lay us open to legal attacks. We have signed no agreement or compact of a nature that would keep us from withdrawing from the Players' League if we wanted to, but no one bas tbe authority to state that we wish or in tend to pull out. It is our wish to see a com promise effected between tbe two leagues, and we shall try to bring that end abont. What ever Mr. McAlpin does at the meeting I will concur in." It had not been decided yesterday by whom the Brooklyn club will be lepresentedat tbe coming meeting of the Players' League. It was announced, however, that John M. Ward would be one of tbe delegation. Tbe probable course of tbe club is not clearly known. Presi dent Goodwin has bad several interviews with President Byrne, of the Brooklyn National League Club, during tbe past week, and both maintain a grim silence on the subject of amal gamation. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Biooklyn Player;.' League Club was held at No. S13 Fulton street. Brooklyn, on Thursday morn ing. Those present were E. F. Linton, George Wirth, H. II. Kiffe and A. H. Farnngton. The remaining stockholders were repre sented by proxy The session was brief, and was called for tbe specific purpose of in creasing tbe capital stock from $30,000 to 40,000. This was accomplished, and was the only business transacted. Tbe increase i to meet the club's deficit. Tbe plan of finan cial management with the Brooklyn clubdiffers from that of some of tbe others in that no as sessments have been levied on the original stock. Ouce before, when money was needed, the capital stock was increased in a similar manner, live of tbe stockholders contributing JiOOO each. The same five will take up tbe re tent addition of 100 shares. A certificate of tbe increase will be filed in the County Clerk's ofiice of King's county tbis week.

He Says There Must be a Settlement of the l$a.seball War. Buck Eing, the acknowledged premier catcher of America, is wintering in Cincinnati, but he is so wrapped up in his family that he seldom leaves his East End home to mingle with the bo) s. Buck came down street yester day, however, to lay In a stock of Perfectos and tbe latest novels, fie dropped into the En quirer ofiice to discuss the situation. "What do I think of it?" he said, in reply to an inter rogative. "Why. it looks decidedly like a com promise to me. I, for one. am heartily in favor of it. I hope the warring factions can come lo an understanding on a basis that will in no way lower the digmt of either side or cause much ot a sacrifice for cither League or Brother hood."! "Are you using yonr influence to bring about such a result?" "Certainly I am. I recognize the hard rock ribbed fact that the good of baseball and the interest of players demand if. Baseball clubs can not pay good salaries unless tbey make money. It is foolishness to suppose that capi talists will reach in their pockets and pay salaries that mean big losses to them. It bas been proved that clubs can not thrive with a war in progress. 1 want mv employers to make money. Every ball player should feel the same way. The more money tbey make the more tbey can afford to pay out in salaries. I am for compromise first, last and all tbe time on cer tain conditions." What are those conditions?" "Simply that I do not want the Brotherhood to get the worst of it, I want tbe deal to be made on an equal basis. It is not now a ques tion of which organization bas the best of tbe battle. Tbe time for petty jealousies and rank partisanship is past. Peace is what we are all after." "Will any of the players be treated shabbily If the deal goes through?" "Not in tbe least. Of course, it will be tbe survival of the fittest, just as would be the case if the two organizations went on as they were conducted the past season. Merit is bound to tell. Some players who have drawn money on suspicion that they conld play ball will have to go to the stable. The be6t players will be in the best organization." Cincinnati Enquirer. THE MAGNATES COMING. Delegates of the Plajers' League Expected to Arrive In Town To-Day. Several of the delegates of tbe P. L. annual meeting, which is to be held In this city, are ex pected to arrive to-day, and it is possible that a meeting of capitalists will te held this evening. Last evening Manager Hanlon had little to say -yarding what may be done by the magnates, but he remarked that the meeting will undoubt edly be an important one. Mr. Hanlon is for peace if it can fairly and honorably be attained. The public desire for "consolidation" is be coming stronger every day, and if the wishes of more than one P. L. director are carried out tbe niagnates.of the two local clubs will have a con ference to-day. If they have, it is hoped that some plan will be adopted by wbich local base ball patrons will be assured of one club for Pittsburg, and that one a good one. The best friends of the national game, not only in this ciiy but all over the country, desire the quarrel to end as soon as possible, and those who ig nore this desire may live to sadly regret it. BROKE THE KEC0ED. Wendell Baker, the Eastern Burner, Buns Two Hundred Yards In Twenty Seconds. New York, November 9. Wendell Baker, the star runner of tbe Berkeley Athletic Club, ran 200 yards in 20 seconds at tbe Berkeley Oral yesterday, thus snpplanting L. E. Myers' 20J seconds, which, up to yesterday, was the best performance on record at the distance named. Mr. Baker was years ago a flyer among flyers, but of late he has not been seen in public There was a disposition in some quarters to re gard him as one of the "has beens," bnt yester day's feat shows conclusively that Wendell Baker is still one of the greatest sprinters of modern times, and is able to cope with any am ateur in a series of races at from 150 up to L000 yards. Mr. Baker began training some months ago for a special effort at record breaking, and ran some remarkable trials at the Fashion Stud Farm of Mr. Henry N. Smith, near Trenton. Yesterday's atmospheric conditions were not , perfect for record breaking at the Oval, a strong wind blowing directly across the track during the first trial, but the runner was in good condition, and he determined to try for a record at ISO and 200 vards. Two trials were made. In tbe first Baker left his mark rather slowly, bat once under way ran strongly to the finish, the watches of tbe timers registering 20 1-5 seconds. Tbe timers at the finish wero Charles A. Read, George Avery, Mortimer Bis.hon.and Robert Stobl. ail men of experience. C F. Mattbcwson caught Baker at the ISO-yard mark m 18 seconds fiat. Every watch at the fin ish registered 201-5 seconds. Sam D. See was tbe starter. At the end of an hour, or just a few minutes before 4 o'clock, Mr. Baker came out for his second cflort against tbe scythe bearer. Tbo wind had died away almost to nothing. Tbis time be was full of snan and left his mark like a shot. Down the long, straight stretch he came without a falter, and broke the tape in exactly 20 seconds. Baker was not in the least exhausted, and would have ran again but for the advice of his friends. Tbe timers at tbe finish were Messrs. Reed. Bishop and Connolly, while Messrs. Avery, Stoll and Matthewson canght the flyer at ISO yards in 18 1-5 seconds. Tbe record at 160 yards is IS seconds, made by Baker himself years ago. The course was measured both wars, and corresponded exactly with tbe permanent stone markings originally set by the surveyor who laid out the distances. There were present about 40 or 60 persons, a football game having just been concluded. A Merry Hunting Party. Tr-FCI At, TELIOBAM TO TUX DISrATCB.l Titdsville, Pa., November 9. Yesterday a merry hunting party, composed of six gentle men from Buffalo, returned to tbeir homes and business, after an enjoyable hunt here. These gentlemen have come here regularly for years, and are always the guests of Messrs. Andrews, Foster, Crossly, Shattuck, Hoenig, Theobald, and otner local sporting enthusiasts. Their last day's hunt was very successful, tbey being guided by a number of local sports, and re turned with ample bags of wood-cock, pheas ants, rabbits and quail, all of which are more than usually numerous here this fall. Broke Up In a Bow. A number of dog-fighters from McKeesport, Pittsburg and New Castle had a rough time of it two or three miles out Brownsville road early yesterday morning. Two docs, owned by per sons named Gettings and Nice, respectively, commenced to fight for $100 a side. The dog owned by Gettings, who resides near New Cas tle, was looking like a winner and a free fight ensued. Heads were cracked and faces cut, and the dog fight was not finished. Sporting Notes.

AXDY MCDOWELL, the excellent California driver, who has been In the employ of Monroe Salisbury, and this year came East with Direct, Margaret S., Cricket and others, has been enraged as trainer and driver by Marcus Daly, of Ana conda, Mont., and bas left California to take charge of the choicely-bred stock on Mr. Daly's Bitter Hoot Valley ranch.

His blows were not delivered from tbe shoulder and were not half so effective as Slivln's. He says that the blow that settled the contest was a richt-hander that burst McAuliffe's left ear.

Os the return of Patrol's Jockey to weigh In after that horse bad won tbe All-aged Maiden Plate at Litchfield, Eng.. a short while back, he could not draw the weight, even with the addition of tbe bridle. The same deficiency in weight was fonnd to be the case with the other Jockeys who rode In the race. The acting stewards of the meeting. George Graham and Bernard Gilpin, were summoned, ana an inspection of tbe scales was then made, when It was found that some mis creant had attached n niece of lead to the weight side of the scales. When this was removed each of the Jockeys bronchi down the beam, and thus wbat might have proved a disagreeable incident was avoided. A similar incident occured in En gland in 1853, when Catcli 'em Alive won the Cam bridgeshire, but fortunately the trick was dis covered before the result was announced, and the scoundrelly perpetrators were thwarted In their plans. THE Sun says that Mr. Pierre Lonllard set him self a herculean tA6k when he set out to reform tbe turf.

Unhappily Mr. Lorlllard and all his gnests are as uncommunicative as sphinxes, and tbe poor pub lic will have to wait in suspense an indefinite period to learn tbe result or the deliberations of tbe magnates of tbe turf.

Sterling, who -was executed here for the murder of Lizzie Grombacher, has unveiled the facts concerning an inci dent that occurred shortly before his execu tion. His mother came here from Maxwell, Canada, and, though he had left home when but a boy, with a mother's intuition she recognized him. "When brought to his cell Sterling, without the quiver of a muscle, said: 'Ton are mistaken, madam; I am not ybur son." She implored him to recognize her, but he refused, and she returned home half convinced that she was mistaken. To his counsel Sterling said: "She was my mother, but I could not break her heart by telling her that her son would be hanged. Keep it secret until she dies." Her death last week caused his attorney, W. S. Anderson, to break the seal of silence to day. "It was the greatest dramatic scene I ever witnessed," said Mr. Anderson. "I have seen all the tragedians ot tbe past quarter of a cen tury, but none that compared with the scene on that occasion. The mother, with every line in her face showing tbe most intense suffering, and her heart nearly broken, pleading for recognition, while the son, knowing that the trnth would kill ber. stood like a statne. bis face showing the pallor of death, answering her that she was mistaken.

Marshall, the expert from the Auditor's office at Charleston, now going over the books of Cir cuit Clerk Ward Clouston, says tbe thefts steadily grow more numerous as they proceed, and it is now believed the total defalcation will reach $100,000. Many persons are of the opinion tbat tbe crookedness has been going on for ten years, and that the worst discoveries are still to come. In this city, of f our separate cases so far investigated, there is not one of which does not sbow tbe grossest rascality. Each one of these cases represents from 1 to 20 forged and fraudulent fees and certificates, some of them amonntlng to hundreds of dollars. Witness fees of from $100 to MOO, clear and undoubted forgeries, crop out everywhere. Among tbe papers were found letters from the Rev. T. G.

Mr. Caldwell cannot bo inter viewed to-night, but Expert Marshall says he will not stop bis investigations until every iota of fraud has been seen, and every penny ac counted for.

The liti gation in the case of the Warren and the Thompson glassworks at this place against the Fayette Fuel Gas Company will be beard Tuesday next. It will be remembered tbat the gas company turned the gas off from the two plants, giving as a reason that tbe supply was limited.

On the wall behind the stovepipe in the office of the Stone Hotel at Great Barring ton, hangs a crayon portrait, lifesize, of a queer genius. It is that of a round headed man, with slightly convex face, shelving forehead, somewhat shelving chin, and with wide-open, wild-looking eyes. The original of the sketch is Clinton Crosby, recluse, gunsmith, 75 years old. Clinton Crosby came irom Con necticut, the land of inventors, 40 years ago, and has dwelt alone in the mountains since. He does" not talk much, least of all about himself and his history. But this much is known: In youth and early manhood he was spruce, smart, good looking, and his head was packed full oi thinking brains. He fell in love with a Connecticut belle iu a country village, and the maiden professed to be iu love with Clinton. Finally sue jilted him, married another man and livud very happily. But Crosby was of different metal; he took life seriously, and this first affair of the heart spoiled him entirely. His head went wrong. He became odd, yet he re mained shrewd and sensible enough withal, soured on the world, turned hermit and settled in the mountains about Great Barsingtou. One morn ing he suddenly appeared in that village nearly 40 years ago, bought lumber, dragged it into the forest and built a two-story house over a wild stream in a black gorge among the hills. He has dwelt there since. Now and then he comes into the village for supplies and has a few friends there. The most remarkable thing about Crosby is, he carries in his head a secret tbat is worth 800,000. The United States Government wants the secret, but Crosby won't sell it. A mechanic of won derful ingenuity, he discovered many years ago a method for boring gun and rifle bar rels far superior to any other in the world. A barrel bored by him is endowed with ex traordinary propelling force, penetration and marvelous precision. How the old man ever managed to do such work in a shop in which little machinery is to be seen is a profound mystery. YANKEES BTJYINi3 GREEK LAND. American Societies Propose to Explore the Ruins of Delphi. iJEtvYoEK, November 9. For the past two years the Archaeological Institute of America has been contemplating the pur chase of the 350,000 acres ot laud in Greece upon which the little village if 1 Kastri is built. The ruins of Delphi areere, and to make extensive explorations among them would be the object of tbe purchase. The Greek Government has giventhe institute the first opportunity of securing' the land. At the annual meeting of the New York Society of the Archaeological Institute tnis afternoon William R. Ware, Professor of Architecture of Mines, announced that the Boston chapter had subscribed $61,000, theChicago chapter SE0.000, and the New York chapter $16,000. It is thought the remainder of the $80,000 will not be hard to raise. The institute has been given until tbe 18th of this month to close the bargain. The Greek Government has been made many offers for tbe land. THE PATTER OF THE SHINGLE. Naughty Ways Nipped in the Bud by a Little Physical Pain. Leisure Hours.l Opinions are much divided as to the effi cacy of "spanking," so called. There are mothers who pride themselves on "never laying a hand" upon their children, and the fiat has gone forth among educators that the teacher unable to manage her class without a resort to corporal punish ment does not deserve to be a teacher. Well, all can think as they please, of course, but there are certainly times with children and moods in children which call for a gen uine old-fashioned spanking as a means of grace. As not a few mothers can testify from actual experience, bad tempers and naughty ways have olten been "nipped in the bud" by a little physical pain adminis tered just at the right time.
