Bocae, cfSyrusse, E a Ttw Words toij Otccnl
fjortog Kcws.
ifEW Yoke, .Tan. 30. For some days
past tbe Board of Managers of the A. A. TJ.
hare bee a trying to discover, if possible,
the caase of tbe disturbances in the vicinity
of Pijttbur. It may be added that the re
sult of their observations has astonished tbe
A. A. TJ. officials, and it is altogether likely
that tbey will .endeavor to impart some of
their astonishment to the officers of the Al
legheny Athletic Association. The latter
organization recently applied for member
ship in the Amateur Athletic Union, their
prime object being to put a team into the
amateur baseball championship struggle.
But they will be satisfied will no
ordinary team of amateurs, and arc pre
paring to ask the Amateur Athletic
Union to reinstate John Tener, the very well
known professional baseball pitcher, and who
last season acted as Secretary of the Pittsburg
Players' League Club, with William Gray, an
other professional of Pittsburg. Tener Mas
picked up in 1SS9 by Anson, and, like the ma
jority of colts handled by that shrewd baseball
general, the Pittsburg boy developed into quite
a pitcher. When Spalding took bis two picked
teams all over the earth, Tener was one of those
who battled for the honor and glory of Chicago
before the kangaroo spectators of the Anti
podes and tbe surprised Bedouins ot the desert.
If any question should arise as to Tener's pro
fessional standing, no doubt some of tbe spec
tators above referred to could be brought on to
testify on the points at issue. In the face of all
these facts, the Allegheny Athletic Association
assumes its most melting and persuasive smile,
and will reqiiest tbe Amateur Athletic Union
to reinstate Tener.
A prominent Amateur Athletic Union official
was questioned yesterday by a DisrATCK re
porter in regard to tbe matter, and be said:
"Yon can set it down as a fact that the Ama
teur Athletic Union will never reinstate a man
who has made a living out of baseball. You
don't suppose for an instant that we would re
instate Harry Bethune or Marley Kittleman?
It ould be quite as consistent to restore to
tbe amateur ranks an out-and-out professional
baseball plaer like John Tener. Wbv, tbe
next thing we know we'll have Davy Force.
BIHie Talor and Dan O'Leary bobbing up and
asking tor reinstatement. It would unques
tionably be a nice thing for a large number of
professionals if tbey could drop into nice posi
tions and blossom out as amateur ball tossers.
As in tbe past, the Amateur Athletic Union
will give due attention and thorough investi
gation to all worthy cases, bnt the proposition
to reinstate a man whose professionalism is
undisputed is almost too absurd and ridiculous
for an instant's serious consideration. If tbe
Allecbeny Athletic Association expects to win
the amateur baseball championship through
the medium of the reinstatnacnt of profes
sional baseball players, they are liable to come
in contact with several large and frosty con
signments of disappointments."
When the matter was brought to the atten-tiou-of
William B. Curtis be f-aid in bis incisne
way: "No, sir: Tener will not be reinstated. As
a matter of fact, the Amateur Athletic Union
sjiould never baie reinstated any one who bore
tbe taint of professionalism, and one of the
worst mistakes, ever made by our organization
was the reinstatement of Walsh at tbe request
of. .the Detroit Atbletic club. The A. A. U.
should fcave set its root down at that point.
There are thousands of ball jjlascrs In the
country who are not quite cood enough for the
professional teams bnt who, if allowed to play
as amateurs, uouid proie too strong for the
bona fide amateur plajcrs. Baseball is one of
the hardest things the Amateur Athletic
Union has to deal with, arrl what nnlM rim
situation worse is the unsatisfactory coudrtiun I
ot the rules. By their terms an amateur club
can employ a proicssional batterv, except in
championship game', and can als- play against
a professional team. Tener? No, decidedly
not."
BEGINS TO LOOK BLUE.
Anson Tells r"eill That Tan Ilnltren and
Gnmbert Mast Stay In Chicago.
CmciGO, Jan. 30. Ad Gunibcrt and George
Van Haltren will play in Chicago. This is the
lirst piece of off cial news that has emanated
from headquarters since Spalding and Anson
tfeturnea from the Kas J. Palmer O'Neill has
sent repeated telegrams to Anson requesting
permislonto negotiate witbGumbertanuVan
Haltren. who have been on the Chicago reserve
list since the season of lbS9. No reply was sent
until yesterday, when Auon wired O'Neill that
be had use for both men in Chicago.
Al Iteacb. President of the Philadelphia
club, spent the greater part of yesterday in
.Spalding's company. He assured interviewers
that bis visit hail no particular baseball signifi
cance that business of a purely commercial
nature brought lum to the cit. On all ques
tions touching the national came he was non
committal: he was well satisfied with the pros
pects for the season and haj not yet-given tbe
muke-npof his team any paiticnlar attention,
but would set his cap for anv desirable players
that came his way. His principal want is a
first baseman to succeed Farrar. When the
name of Dan Brouibers wis suggested tobim
be said heconsideied Pan a pretty good man,
bnt would not say whether or not he would
make an effort to secure bun.
AHE0N TAVOBS IT.
The Big Captain Supports the Idea of Allow
ing Managers to Coach.
CnrrjjCGO. Jan. 2a. The uoxt important inno
vation in baseball rales will no doub be tbe
granting of permission to non-playing managers
to coach their men from the cnacher's box. Tbe
scheme has "been freely discussed and meets
with favor in most quarters. Anson is one of
the latent converts to the idea, and explained
the advantages of It yesterday at length.
"It would tend to improve the game." he said,
"in more ways than one. In the first place a
manager is held accountable for the wotk of his
team, yet he is barred from directing its move
ments at the lime that it needs a guiding hand
the most. The managers are. as a tule. a much
brighter set of men than the players, and there
would be lefc mistakes on tl c held if managers
were allowed in Jlie coacber's box. Besides,
men like Harry Wright and Tom Loftus are
placed at a disadvantage with men like myself,
who combine the positions of manager and
captain. Then, too, suppose I should be in
jured enough m retire me temporarily from the
field but not seriously enough to kceD me in
doors, I wocbl be compelled to lease the hand
ling of my team to n assistant wtnle I sat on
the bench and saw my men doing just the oppo
site of what I Should wish. I think by all means
that managers should be allowed the power to
stand on tbe lines and coach tbeir men."
BALDWIN'S OPINION.
Tho ritcher Thinks that rittsburg Cannot
Hold on to Blerbancr.
During a conversation yesterday Mark Bald
win, who has just returned from Columbus,
said: "The Association certainly has a right
for Uierbaucr and if Wagner wants bim be will
have to go to Philadelphia. Bierbauer jumped
his contract when the Athletics were all right
as a team and dub -and that is the time that
must be considered and not the subsequent
histary of the'cMuu. Tbe Association can keep
Bierbauer It he is wanted there."
Baldw in went on to say that be has signed to
play in Columbus. He cannot get anywhere
else and be will make himself contented there.
IJiei bluer' s Case.
Cure ago, Jan. S. One of tbe first cases
lively to coaie before the new Board" of Con
trol will be tbat ot Bierbauer. Tbe latter was
second baseman for tbe old Athletics, but "was
this week signed bv Manager Hanlon for the
Pittsburg team. The latter-will fight to retain
Bicrlnner, who is also claimed by Wagner
Brothers for tho new Athlstic. Tbe dispute
will be decided upon tbe question as to whether
the expelled club sent in a lis. of reserved plav
ere Rt-ttie end of the Season. If it submitted to
socb list, Bierbauer, under tbe new agreemenn
no doubt belongs lb the American Association
for at lsast ten cays, during which time be may
be claimed by any of its members before the
League gets a chance. If he was formally re-
tcrvcotnere is utuc aouui mat uewmoe
awarded to the Athletics, lor If tbevatter cau
bold the other players of its defunct predeccs.
sor there is no reason why the same law should
not apply to Blerbaucr.
STILL MAKIKG 1E0TJBL-3.
13d ward r. Linton ST ot Through Yet "With, the
Brooklyn Baseball Magnates.
New Yoke. Jan. 30. Edwar&F. Lintop, who
came out of the recent squabble in tbe Brook
lyn (1. P.) club with flying colors, and with'
over 58,000 in cash in bis grip, bad a conference
yesterday with George F. Chauncey at thelat
tcr's office in Brooklyn. Just what advice Mr.
Linton gave Mr. Chauncey as to the right card
to play in order to get out of the way is not
known, and will not be until tbe meeting of the
stockholders to-morrow.
A baseball man who knows all the inside de
tails of the doings of the Brooklyns (limited)
said yesterday: "I think Chauncey is some
wnat inclined to weaken since his scheme has
been made public All last season Linton and
be were hand in hand. Both arc joint owners
in real estate interests in the Eastern district,
and they thought if tbey could get all tbe ben
efits arising out of the club going to Eastern
Park without shouldering any of tbe risk that
they would be in great luck. Their scheme was
to make the Wall street men pay for tbe whole
business and assume every bit of tbe risk. So
far. Linton and several other stockholders
have worked the scheme successfully. It re
mains now to see what Chauncey will do.
"I don't think be can afford to. do anything
rash. The peoole in tbe Eastern district want
the club to'play at Eastern Park, and if
Chauncey blocks the consolidation they will
not forget it. For that reason I think be Kill
not be able to get out of tbe club and make
Messrs. Goodwin. Wallace and Robinson pay
bim 5,000 or JftOOU
"Clnuiicey can get out easily and get every
cent he has invested in the club, providing
Mes-rs. Goodwin, Wallace and Robinson
should not wish to lose all they have put in it.
Chauncey has only to see Attorneys Bergen &
Dykeman, who will issue an injunction, the
same as tbey did to Linton, and serve it on tbe
club belore tbe stockholders meet to-morrow.
But these three men see how they were fool
ishly worked in settling with Linton, and they
do not propose to be duped again."
HOSE GREAT POOL PLAYIHG.
Messrs. Clearwater and Kuntzsch Continue
Their Match Amid Much Excitement.
Another large and representative audience
assembled at the Grand Central Rink last
evening to witness the continuation of tbe pool
match between Kuntzsch, of Syracuse, and
W. H. Clearwater, the champion of Ohio.
There was some very brilliant claying but
mostly on tbe part of the Ohio representative.
It is seldom that Pittsburgers have an oppor
tunity to see such excellent pool playing as tbe
two experts can show, and Clearwater even
outshone himself last evening.
Kuntzsch was somewhat out of form. He
started off badly and although be a few times
made some very brilliaut plays, he also got a
little rattled and there was evidence of con
siderable rivalry among tbe parties interested.
This apparently affected the Syracuse man and
he played far below bis standard. On the other
hand Clearwater played in rare form and kept
on pocketing the balls until he was nearly 100
ahead. It is no exaggeration to say that Clear
water played a very great game, and it seemed
quite an easy task lor him to pocket the 15 balls
straightaway.
When the match was resumed last evening
the score stood: Kuntzsch, 191; Clearwater,
200. There was some delay in selecting a
referee. Finally Mr. Harry Ricketsberg, of
Philadelphia, was agreed upon. In the first
frame Clearwater took tbe lead by 10 to 5 and
from tbatincrcasee his lead. At times the excite
ment was quite lhely and partisan feeling kept
everybody interested. It is onlyfair to say that
Kuntzsch plijed in very bard luck, and this
tended to cause him to lose his temper a little.
The evening's play finished with the score
standing: Clearwater, 200: Kuutzsch, Si, for
the night. Tbe total score is: Clearwater, 400;
Kuntzsch, 278.
The match will be finished this evening, and
play will commence at 8 o'clock. That there
will be some unusually good pool playing there
is no doubt. It is stated that if Clearwater
wins tne match be will be willing to play any
man in the United States.
A CHALLENGE TO KUUTZSCH.
J. TV. Boone, ot Syracuse, Has a Few TVords
to Say.
The pool players are coming to tbe front, and
J. W. Boone, of Syracuse, wants It to be under
stood that he does not believe U. N. Kuntzsch
is champion of tbe city named. The following
letter was received from Mr. Booqe yesterday
at this office: t
To the porting .Editor of the Dispatch: .
"Please take notice that if G. N. Kuntzsch
claims to be champion pool plajer of Syracuse
be is making a false claim. You will see by tbe
papers which accompany myletter that my
money is up to play bim if bo is champion. I
claim that money talks and I want justice
done."
Mr. Kuntzsch states that he makes no claim
for anything to which he has no right, bnt he
does c'aim to be champion pool player of Syra
cuse. He is an excellent player, and if Mr.
Boone or bis friend are better, they must be
what is commonly called "corkers." Mr.
Kuntzsch will attend to tho challenge of Mr.
Boone when he, Kuntzsch, returns home, which
will be next week.
FOOTBALL MATCH TO-DAT.

To Try Lohn L.
New Yoke. Jan. SO. Newark Lodge ot Elks,
which admitted John L. Sullivan to member
ship last rear, has decided, to try bim upon the
charges which Jed Dr. Qulnlau, the Exalted
Ruler, to order his suspension-. Sullivan was
admitted to tbe order during- his week In
Newark with Dnncan B. Harrison in "Honest
Hearts and Willing Hands." His admission
was deprecated by many members of tbe lodge,
who took no part in the initiation. Tbey
did not hesitate to characterize bis initiation
as the greatest blunder ever committed by the
order, but they did not tell Sullivan so because
there was a general impression that it was un
wholesome to say unpleasant things to the
champion. Ho was on his good behavior in
Newark, and got tbrongh tbo week vithout a
drink, and consequently without any bad
breaks.

Supposed Widow of a Second Husband
Meets Her First Spouse.
CARLISLE GRADUATES AND THE WAG
rFrECIA&TELIOHAM TO TBE DISPATCH.!
Findlat, O., Jan. 30. Fire at an early
hour this morning nearly wiped out the
business section of tbe town of Cygnet, a
village in the oil regions north of this city,
and burned to death Michael Slattery, Con
rad Maloney and his daughter, Gertrude
JUaloney. The fire started in a frame build
ing occupied as a millinery store by JAxt.
Conrad Maloney, and probably caught from
a gas jet which was bnrning near the ceil
ing. The three persons who lost their lives
were sleeping in a room over the millinery
establishment, and it is doubtiul if they
ever awakened from their slumbers, as the
house burned like tinder, and was in ashes soon
after the fire alarm was sounded. Nothing of
the remains of tbo unfortunates was found
in tbe ruins except the thigh bone of the
child. -
Mrs. Maloney and a 5-year-old child, who
were sleeping in a rear room back of the store,
barely escaped with their lives, their night
clothes being scorched by tbe flames. From

(80,000, with no insurance except on the oil well
suuply stock, which is sufficient to cover their
loss of 30.000.

Commonly ijt the in'ose Two Gentle

toDr.Bteks' Skili. in Removing the
s:me.
By far the most common variety of polypoid
tumors is the gelatmod. It is jelly-like in ap
pearance and very much like an oyster, soft
and spongy, occurring either singly or in
clusters, and often completely fills both nos
trils, expanding in wet weather and shrinking
in dry weather. Tbe only reliable treatment is
of a surgical nature extirpation, and even then
It isapt to retnrn in time. I have come across
qnite a number of polypoid tumors during the
past few years, and always find them associated
with catarrh, or a hypertrophic condition of tha
nasal mucus membrane, and have often
thought in tbe light of tbe recent advance
ment in tbe treatment of catarrhal troubles. If
patients would follow these treatments up a
few months after removal it would prevent
their return. '
B. S. McFate.
-E. H. Porter.
During the last Exposition Mr. McFate. oC
Wnrtemburg. Lawrence county, consulted ma
for nasal obstruction, supposed to be due to
catarrh, as be had the nsual catarrhal symp
toms. An examination revealed both nostrils
filled with clusters of gelatinoid tumors. I ad
vised extirpation, ana inside ot 30 minutes had
both nostrils free with but very little pain and
loss of blood. I bad him visit tbe office next
morning to note the result, when he said ba
hadn't spent such a comfortable night for a
long time and couldn't find words to express
his gratitnde.
A few weeks ago Mr. Porter, of the same
town. wa sent tn me by Mr. McFate. as he was
troubled the same way, excepting that bis
trouble was confined to nasal obstruction, bis
general health being good. I cleared both nos
trils in the same manner with like results. Mr.
Porter called next day and said bis brother-in-law,
