A definite effort is to be made within a
few days to have John Tener, the well
known baseball pitcher of this city, rein
stated as an amateur. The Allegheny Ath
letic Association is going to nuke the appli
cation and Mr. Tener is in hearty accord
with the move. Yesterday afternoon Secre
tary Dawson, of the Allegheny Athletic
Association, during a conversation with the
writer, said:
"We have made up our minds to compete
next season for the baseball amateur cham
pionship, and we want Messrs. Tener and
Gray into our fold. According to precedent
1 think the A. A. A. will reinstate both i
men because they have not in any way
Cone bejocd the rnles except in ball plaj inc. I
am now preparing a statement to foi ward tbe
A. A. A. not only making an application for
membership, bat asUnc that Messrs. Tener
and Gray be recoguizcd as amateurs, so that
ihey can play on our team. With these two
men we will have a great team, as we expect to
secure the semces of Mr. facboyer as catcher.
When we have a good battery secured we will
soon cet the balance of the nine.
We are figuring on playin; the amateur
teams of Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Jersey
City, Manhattan Club and the Boston team. At
any rate we are going m for the amateur cham
pionship. 1 hat part of it is settled, Ceitamly
e cannot play acainst any local clubs, because
there is not a club that has not a professional
of some Kind in it. Bona fade amateur ball
playing is what will count in America by and
by."
Messrs. Brainard and Macpberson indorsed
the opinions of fcectetary Dawson and em
phasized the statement that there would be a
liist-class amateur team here. They argued
that in the past professional ball players had
been reinstated as amateurs, and. therefore,
there was much hope ot tbe reinstatement of
Messrs. Tener and Gray.
Before tbe conversation ended Jlr. Tener ap
peared on the scene, and after being told the
subject of conversation said: "Well, now I
want to be amateuragain, but I wouldn't like
any application in my behalf to be refused. 1
don't see by the authorities should hesitate
in reinstating me. and 1 believe they will wben
tbe facts of the case are made known to them."
As suited above, application will be made
withiu a lew iUt. It may be that a represen
tative of the Allegheny Athletic Association
will proceed tu .New York to plead the case
a: the first meeting of tbe A. A. A.
directors beveral ball players who have played
professionally have been reinstated by tbe A
A. A., and this lart prompts local amateurs
to hope that Messrs. Tener and Gray will
be taken into lhe fold again. Mr. Gray was
married on Tuesday, aud be desires to be
ranked among tbe local amateur ball plaj era,
as bis borne will be in this city.

DIMPSET6 OPUnON.
He Appear on the Street and Tells About
His Late Battle. m
Jack Dempsey appeared on tbe streets of N ew
Orleans for the first time on Tuesday. A friend
asked him bow he felt, and rolling up his left
sleeve be exposed his arm, which was still dis
colored as far up as the elbow. "Just look at
that," he said. "Tbe left side of my chest;
from the armpit to tbe waist, is in tbe same
conaition. My legs also, near tbe knees, are
cut from coming in contact with the ropes."
And with a good-natured smile he remarked:
"I know I've been in a fight. I never aw Fitz
simmons until I saw him in the ring that night.
He is a nitghvy good man.
I know nothing of tbe fight after the eighth
or ninth round, and I was surprised when I was
told that I had fonght 13 rounds. I didn't hit
him more than five times. He was too tall, and
whenl tried to hit him bo would stand up. bend
his cbest out so as to save bis stomach and I
could never i each bim. All I know after tbe
eighth and nmtUroundsand I have only asligbt
recollection of that, i that Fitzslmmons was
touching me on tbe shoulders and I was stand
ing up to bglit,"

A BIG HUMMING CIBCUIT,
riltsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit in
the rrcject.
trt-ClXt, TH.XOKAK TO TUB DtSPATCB.t
Cleveland. Jan. a Tbe breeders and turf
men ot the East will be interested in a pro
jected racing circuit that is now attracting
much attention among horsemen in Cleveland,
Pittsburg, Buffalo and Detroit. Tbe plan is to
hold summer turf meetings in the four cities In
question, where hitherto trotters have held un
disputed sway. Harry Price, of this city,
formerly a prominent pool seller, and gen
erally well known to turfmen, is push
ing 'he scheme, and has been in
consultation with tbe leading racing
backers of this city and Pittsburg. The idea
is to bold the races at such a time in summer
as shall make it an object for owners to race
their horses in these cities while en route be
tween the East and the West. The purses of
fered will be an indncement for tbe best horses
to be entered, and the novelty ot a running
meeting in any of the cities named, it is
thought, will more than make expenses.
It has been about 15 years since a running
meeting has been held in any of the big lake
cities. In this citv It is tbe intention to use tbe
famous Glenville track, upon which Maud S
made her record. It is tbe opinion of local
turfmen that It will not injure tbe track to
harrow it up for the runners. Con
ferences have been held with'1 Pitts
burg horsemen, and it is said they are
favorable to tbe scheme if all go in. Tbe book
makers' fees would go a long way toward mak
ing the expenses of each meeting, and the latter
wonld do a thriving business, owinglo tbe new
ness of running in these cities. Butfalo is likely
to have such a racing meeting in any contin
gency. THE NEW THI-STATB LEAGUE.

Mansfield, was appointed to complete the or
ganization. Yonngstown and McKeesport are
both left out. tbe former being il.200 behind on
last season's clnb, and the latter being thought
too far out ot the way for a good schednle ar

Sir. Meyers Wants the Billiard Tournament
During a Holiday Week.
At a meeting of tbe local billiard room
keepers to-day it will likely be decided whether
or not the billiard tournment will be held next
month or In March. Speaking on the matter

"I would like to see the tournament held dur
ing the week of Washington's Birthday, but I
have jnst learned that we cannot get the Cen
tral Rink for that month. There are otber
places, and it will be left for the roorakeepers
to decide when we will hold the tournament.
Of course, we all would like a holiday time in
the week. I have just received a message from
Philadelphia stating that the three players
down there will play here."

Hakhisdukg, Jan. SI. The 'Democratic
State Committee held its annual meeting
here this aiternbon. Chairman Kerr pre-'
sided. A contest was reported from Elk
county and one from Montour. The Elk
contestants were A. Swartz Boss, represent
ing the Hall faction, and Dr. C. B. Early,
representing tbe Early faction. The con
testants were given five minutes each in
which to present their claims. Senator
Harry Hall, speaking for Boss, said that
the Early people finding themselves in a
minority iu convention, bad bolted and set
up shop for themselves, and during the cam
paign had voted and worked against the
regular Democratic ticket, "And they now
have the face to come here and ask for recog
nition," said young Hall.
Dr. Early said it was true that he had
worked against "that creature," pointing to
Hall, "who had just spoken," but he
charged that Hall worked for and voted for
Republicans; had traded anything and
everything to gain his point, and had ru!ed
with an Iron band. Tbe Elk county soiled
linen was about to have a thorough wash
ing, when it was moved that Boss be recog
nized. This was carried, and as Dr. Early
left the room he shouted back: "That man
Boss will not be recognized by the Elk
Democracy. He may be recogmzd by the
animal which has just spoken, but not by
true Democrats."
Peter McCann and B. Harrison both
wanted to represent Montour, but Harrison
was given the placet Chairman Kerr then

leon. when Pat Foley, ofthe City of Natu
ral Gas, asked, "Who is that NaDoleon
onywavV" On taking the chair, Mr. Kerr
returned thanks, and said fhat he had tried
to do bis best. He asked the aid of every
Democrat in tbe State; dealt the elections
bill a whack and wonnd up by saying that
the Democracy would get inside the Treas
ury next fall and see if there was not some
thing wrong there. B. M. Nead, of Harris
burg, was re-elected Secretary, and it was
agreed to leave the selection of .1 place for
the next convention to the State Chairman
aud Division Chairmen.
Mr. Brennan offered a resolution, which
will be referred to the next State conven
tion, providing that where there is more
than one Senatorial district in a county,
each district shall have representation in
the State Committee in addition to the

Habbisbubo, Jan. 21. Governor Patti
son was at his office-this morning promptly
at 9 o'clock. Mr. Harrity, tbe new Secre
tary of the Commonwealth, was there a little
before him. Adjutant General McClelland
spent the most ot the day iu his office over
the House of Representatives. The late in
cumbent of the position, General Hastings,
dropped in during the afternoon to give
General McClelland any assistance he could.
But little official business was done by
either tbe Governor or his Cabinet Their
work consisted largely of getting-office fur
niture and fittings in shape.
Attorney General Hensel had a consulta
tion with his deputy, Mr. Strauahan, of
Mercer county, whose commission was
signed to-day. Mr. Tilden, of Erie, it
seems, has not yet been appointed as Deputy
Secretary of the Commonwealth. This
evening the position was still open, but it
had been generally understood early this
week that ex-Collector Bigler bad with
drawn as au applicant for the position. As
to clerkships and minor offices in the Ex
ecutive Department, Governor Pattison says
be will be in no burry about making
changes. He wants to look the field over.

SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE E0BG0TTEN.
Hatters in Which Old Heads Are Likely to
Become Busty.
Brooklyn Standard-Union.
A Brooklyn man who bas several children
in tbe public schools tells me that be is hav
ing quite a lively time evenings trying to
help them with their lessons. He says that
he always supposed that he had a tolerably
good education, but that he has been terri
bly humiliated of late. The things which
he thought be knew seem to have gone from
him, and the simplest question asked by boy
or girl from 10 to 13 plunges him into the
deepest perplexity. Meantime, tbe children
seem to enjoy his embarrassment, and, ot
course, trot out their very hardest problems
for him to solve.
It is the same old story. Things which
we do not put into daily practice we soon
become unfamiliar with, and in time forget
entirely. The young folks have to take re
views of previous work now and then, aud
it is, of course, not to be wondered at that
older heads, crammed as they are with
things relating to the every-day battle of
life, should forget the lessons learned, may
hap, in a little wooden scboolhouse painted
red away back among the hills in the days
that have flown. But the efiort of the old
heads to recall the things which they learned
when young is healthy. It puts them more
iu touch with their children, who are be
ginning the battle of life. It recalls tbeir
school days,ind reminds that they were not
all sunshine and so they are in a position
to sympathise with tbeir boys and girls who
are now in school.

A CANADIAN CRISIS.
Sir Jobn Macdonald Is Preparing to
Dissolve Parliament and
SECDRE A GENERAL ELECTION.
He Is Working Eeciprocitj aa His Trump
Campaign Card.
A COMING CENSUS BOTHERING HIM
ISFECIAI. TELXOKAM TO TOE DISPATCH.!
Ottawa, Okt., Jan. 21. There is con
siderable excitement in town to-day over the
report that Parliament is to be dissolved.
There no longer remains a doubt that Sir
John McDonald is preparing for a dissolu
tion of Parliament ana that a general elec
tion will take place before Parliament is
again called together. The hint has gone
out and the supporters of the Government
are getting their house in order for an elec
tion campaign. Wben asked to-day why
Sir John should take such a step and not
permit Parliament to die a natural death in
April of next year, a prominent Conserva
tive who is in the inside ring said tbe
reasons lor such a course were manifild.
In the first place, he said, Sir John is
not blind to tbe fact that a very large pro
portion ofthe people of Canada want re
ciprocity with the United States and the
Liberals are playing that card for all it is
worth, knowing how popular tbe cry is.
Sir John has induced Secretary Blaine, or
some one else at 'Washington, to talc re
ciprocity,.which fact is enough to serve his
purpose and go to tbe country and tell the
electors be is doing all himself that the Lib
erals promised to do and he bas opened
negotiations with Washington in the direc
tion of reciprocity.
Good tor a Campaign Card.
It is a well-known fact that Sir John's
policy of reciprocity in natural products
only will never be accepted by tbe present
United States Government, yet the card will
work well for election purposes, as the re
sults of the negotiations will not be known
till alter the elections are over. Then again,
Sir John can now tell the electors that be is
making every effort to extend trade relations
with the West Indies, but as the practical
failure of Minister Foster's mission to the
West Indies will not be made officially
known till about the elections, that also will
be a heavy trump card in Sir John's hand.
There is another and a very important
reason, he said, why, in the Government's
interests, the Dominion elections should be
held as soon as possible. The Dominion
census will be taken in April, and it is an
admitted fact tbat in view of tbe enormous
exodus that hat. been going on from Canada
to tbe United States, during the past ten
years, the censns will show the natural in
crease has hardly been sustained, and that
the exodus bas been proportionately larger
than tbe immigration population arriving in
the country.
Some Other Potent Reasons.
Before this fact is confirmed by the census
returns, Sir John desire' to have the elec
tions. Then comes the McGreeve-Langevin
scandal, 'n which tbe name of a member of
tbe Cabinet figures conspicuously. This
case is sure to be the subject of a Parlia
mentary investigation, and if tbe disclos
ures which it is thought will follow can be
delayed until after the election, so much, the
better for Sir Jobn Macdonald and bis Gov
ment, as least as regards tbeir chances ior
re-election.
Then Sir Hector Langevin has announced
bis intention of next session fighting out the
question of the right of the Manitoba Legis
lature to abolish tbe use ot the French lan
guage in that province, and as this question
is a thora in Sir John's side, he would
rather bave the; elections disposed of before
the fight is precipitated in the-House of
Commons. , h
