rCOKKESPOXDIl.CE OT TIIK DISPATCH. 1
JS&W York, Feu. 13. The real sensation
of the week was the announcement that Jack
Glasscock had turned up in Xenr YorC City
and voluntarily signed a new contract at a
big cut from his $5,000 salary guaranteed by
liis personal ironclad contract The truth
of this is vouched for by John a.
Day, E. A. Talcott and J. G. Soaldinc
In spite cf all, a lew mischief makers
promptly came forward and cast a doubt
upon the statement with no object iu view
bit to stir up or continue the il) feeling be
tween the two factions of players which was
fast dying out.
1 can speak from knowledge and say that
the Glasscock btory, as piyen out by Jack
himself and the three Xew York gentlemen,
is as true as Holy "Writ. Personally I
think Jack acted the chump. He might
have known that his enemies, and he has many,
would make capital against him by the very
reason of his generous act. With him it was a
case of pure generosity and concession to the
pood of the game. He had no call to knock off
a cent, but he did a good act, and see iiis re
ward. I Lope, however, mat 31esrs. Day, Talcott
and Spalding will remember Jack in the days to
ccme. And should the agitators insist On doubt
ing the-e mens' word and attaching tberebv
.personal Loiior, 1 m ould rejoice to see them re
taliate b restoring Glasscock to" his original
salarj.
I am sot going to outline a policy for the
National Board before it meets, or before it
does its w orl But next week I propose to
criticise its work after the work is done, and
criticise it freely, too
The young men wL- write for the daily
, papers abont .baseball seem to be a wee bit
i timid in expressing their convictions upon one
ery important point of the great came. It is
wiuiout question a conglomerated case ot
doubt. 1 refer to the general abstinence i the
baseball reporters and editors from a free ex
pression of opinion upon the probable outcome
of the season of JS91 financially.
It seems to be a clear cae ot caution. Nine
Ltenths of tbee experts Jieartily bone the cood
old crow ds of 18S9 ina again nock to the games
next summer, but the ceneral faith is not hie
enougb to spread a prediction of that kind out
before too reading public like unto a broad,
beautiful bay tree. A
I am not one of the cautions band. My
doubts on that subject do not exist. To me
there seems to be no question abont the restora
tion ot the American's interest in the glorious
American came. Wb should it r.ot return!
The causes winch suppressed the noble rage to
tome extent last year bare disanpeared More
over, you cannot point to one League cluo
winch will not have a stronger team in the field
this j ear than it had in lfcS)
Boston will have all its men of 1SS9 it wants
with possibly the exception of Kelly. It will,
besides, hare itorej, Nichols, Long and ISrodie
to strengthen up on.
New York will loose 'Ward, whose services
will be fully offset by Glasscock. Denny ought
to be a better man than Whitney, but if he is
not, then Whitney is tbere to resume hi-, old
place. Itusie, Buckley and Whistler should
certainly strengthen tue team.
w
The Philadelphia team will certainly gain by
the addition of Hamilton, Sunday, Allen and a
better llrst baseman than Farrer. it loses
'notbing.
In Brooklyn. Ward, Hemming and Kinslow
are added, and none are lost whom tho club
wishes to retain.
Anion will keep all the men from his old
' team and tbe new he wants, and what a grand
possibility there may be in it for your uncle.
Cleveland will strengthen in every weal:
point.
Pittsburg, too, keens all tbe old men it wants,
and will bolster up tne weak places
It tbere be one clob that may be no better
than it was in ISS9, tbe club is in Cincinnati.
And yet it seem-to me tbe Johnson team ot
Cincinnati is certainly stronger as it now exists
than was the Brush club ot 1SS9.
In the Association tbere is no -doubt about
the Louisville, Co'nmbns, Baltimore and Ath
letic club? being stronge- than in ISSOl Per
hsps fct. Lon.s mav not pat a team afield so
lormldable as tbAt of 1SS9. bat it will be a
douoloon bes de a dollar w hen compared to last
year's Browns "
In Boston. Prince i beginning well, and is
Retting his team together
And the Wasmngton team strikes me as be
leg almost a top-notcher.
No one will deny tne fact that crery Western
Association dub will present stronger nines on
opening Cay than it had at any time last sea
son. Therefore I sav, and I say it with the boldness
of a Galltlco, that there is not a city in tbe
League or two associati .s whoso citizens will
not see stron :er teams and better ball playing
next summe. fcan they bare seen iu a number
of Years.
That means big crowds and measures of en
thusiasm. Many will go to tbe opening games and watch
the two elements which warred with one an
other 'ast year, working side by side under the
banner of reconstruction. Some will expect to
see the two pull like a pair of balkv horses.
They will be disappointed. Tbere will be such
afceaity good will on the part of both these
united parts to do as well as the otber that tbe
rult will be a bpartan whole, and. such ball
playing as you never saw before.
I am willing your readers should stick a pin
here.
A dispatch was sent out of Cleveland this
w cek embodying a story to the effect thatthe
Ainencto. Association wonld surely disrupt the
National agreement if the National Board did
not decide every disputed question in their
Xavor doriig the board'3 present session. Need
I say that the war story grrw out of Frank
Braaell's fertile aud fantastic brain.
Mr. Bruacll, though whipped, is, I fear, not
conquered. Ho can't Sgbt himself, but he
dreams fight, and Jays awake nights, wben not
drefctniDg, to figure out some possible way in
which another -wah" migbt be precipitated.
But someone should tell Mr. Bruacll that the
American Association magnates arc not a drove
of asses, which they would be to declare war
nowagunstthe League and Western Associa
tion. This pretended effort to coerce the National
Board would, if real, be a good deal like tbe
ruin who leaves a dispute to arbitrators of his
own choice, but notifies tbe arbitrator that
he'll not abide by the decision unless it goes his
way.
Tbe gentleman from Cleveland, I trow, wants
to let baseball affairs aione this year, and take
to politics or horse racing at Gntteubcrg
O. P. Caylok.

GAHE LAW EZFOSHERS.
Illinois Sportsmen Like Those In Pennsyl
vaniaWant Some Changes Made.
Chicago, Feb. 11. An important special
meeting of the Illinois Sportsmen Association,
called by the president. Dr. N. Rowe, was held
Thursday afternoon at tbe Sherman House.
Tbe subject of discussion was the proposed re
construction of the present game law, which is
in great disfavor with sportsmen and game
dealers alike. Although tbe quail season ends
December t, the dealers are allowed to sell for
two months longer, tbe supposition being that
all quail sold during that time comes from
other States. As was said Several times yes
terday, it would be impossible to frame a law
which wonld enable anyone to detect the differ
erecne between the quail of Illinois and those
from other States. It was therefore nrged that
if the law prohibited the killing of certain game
after the first of any month, it should also pro.
hlhit its sale, no matter from what. State It
came, after tbe 10th of that month. January 1
was urged as the proner time for closing the
season, is alter that date the cold weather al
lows the game to become the easy victims of
the traopers. Dr. Rowe urged that the super
vision be left in the hand of the fish commis
sion, and this was indorsed by all present.
Tbediscnsslon occupied tbe entire afternoon
and at the close a committee was appointed to
act with the regular legidatno committee, of
which V, N. IjOW is chairman, to prepare a law
in accordance witb the suggestions made and,
if necessary, to visit Springfield and obtain tbe
co-operation of members in both Houses who
consists of Messrs. Rowe, Bartlett. Balrd and 1

also added to represent South Water street In

tine. Among yesterday's entries was E. T.
Jones, of Demmler. He is a promising young
shot, but has almost entirely confined himself
to clay birds. John Dixon also entered.
All the best shots in tbe vicinity, tbat is those
accustomed to the rules that will govern the
handicap, will be in the contest.
Johnson in New York.
Nkw York. Feb. 11 Albert L. lohnsou. the
Cleveland street railroad and baseball magnate,
reached town to-day, and will remain here for
a week. He is part owner of the Cincinnati
club, which the League magnates are trying to
"freeze" out ot their circuit. Mr. Johnson
sas he is waiting to see what the magnates
do in Chicago before instituting
legal proceedings for tbe protection
of. his property. "My offer to tbe League,
through John T. Brush, of Indianapolis, which
divided tbe club into equal shares between us,
was perfectly fair, and by it I will stand or fall.
When the Leagne rejects my offer 1 sball pro
tect myse t. Messrs. Stern and Sterne sold us
all tbe Cincinnati club's franchises. Kid we
pay 40,000 for nothing? Mr. Brush makes his
cae worse every time he steps foot in Cincin
nati." Local Patrons Pleased.
Local baseball players were in great glee last
evening when they learned the Board of Con
trol had decided that Mack and Bierbauer
must play in Pittsburg next season. At the
various reports, where patrons of the local
game assemble, the decision was tho absorbing
theme of conversation. Tbe general opinion
was that there was no baseball law which conld
deprive the local clnb of tbe services of the two
players: that is,is th i opinion nrevaded gener
ally Defore the decision was rendered. Readers
of the papers will pot be surprised at this de
cision, because in these colnmns it has always
been maintained that both men were signed
legally, and much' credit is due to Messr.
O'Neill and Hamon for the work they have ac
complished. They Couldn't Agree,
The backers of Billy Williams and Ed. Reilly
met at this office last evening to try and make
a match for the two men to fight, but failed.
Reilly refused to fight for anything less than
K50 or 500 a side. Williams pointed out that
he could not raise that amount ot stake, as his
backer was not willing to put up that amount
of money. Williams further stated tbat ho
could get a guaranteed purse of 100 and would
bet Reilly $50 on tbe result. Reilly replied
that this would not pay training expenses.
Hadn't Their Constltutl :n Beady.
The application of the Allegheny Athletic
Association to join tbe A. A. U. was not dealt
with by the latter yesterday as the local organ
ization has not yet forwarded their constitution
and bylaws Tbe latter are in the hands of the
printer but could not be gotten ready m time
for yesterdav's meeting so tbat the matter will
be deferred until the next meeting of the A. A.
U. Executive Committee.

ON T0PTHIS- TIME;
Pittsburg's Claims on Mack and Bier
bauer Indorsed at Chicago.
THE BOARD 0F-C0NTE0L DECIDES.
Stovey Goes to the Boston League Team
and. a Keproot Given to the Magnates.
Cleveland makes a little kick
rsrxcui. telzobak to the DisrATCK.i
Chicago, Feb. 14. It was not until this
afternooa after a session continuing all day
yesterday and until 3 o'clock this morning
that the Baseball Board of Control an
nonnced its decisions in the famous players'
cases. Chairman Thurman summoned ull
the magnates to tbe hotel smoking room and in
their presence read the Board's verdict. The
results of the Board's wrangling bilefly aro as
follows:
In the Bierbaucr case the claim of the Ath
letics was refused and the player given to the
Pitthburg club. In the case of Stovey the
claim of the Athletics was refused and the
player was awarded to tho Boston League club.
In the case of Mack the claim of the Bos
ton Association was thrown aside and the
player awarded to the Pittsburg club. The
cases of Hoy and Haddock were not brought
before the Board and these men will therefore
not be disturbed in the contracts with tbo Ath
letics and the Boston Association teams. Iu
tbe case of Lyons, who was claimed by the
Chicago club on tbe strength of his contract
with the Players' League club of Chicago, tho
Board refused to allow the claim and Lyons
will remain with the St. Louis club, 500 In
pocket by the transaction. In the case of
plaer Powell, of the Spokane clnb, who threw
himself on the Board's mercy, his club owed
him money which he could not collect, and tbe
Board released him to sign with any club he
desired.
The decisions were read with all the dignity
and solemnity of a regular court of justice. J.
Palmer O'Neill and Hanlon, of course, wore
happy. The Boston Leaguers were uot repre
sented, but they evidently had a tip on the
Stavey decision. The verdict caused some ex
citement by the manner in which it was ren
dered. Never before in such a public manner
was sharp practice in baseball matters given
such a stinging blow of-reproof. It substan
tially savs to Pittsburg and Boston: "We are
guilty of a perfectly implied understanding,
but unfortunately we cannot prove it." Tbe
words used in the decision are: "We ate there
fore relunctantly compelled to decide in farcT
of Boston."
In summing ud. the Board said: Undoubtedly
Pittsburg has tho legal right to the men,
but morally it has not. It ought withdraw its
claim, but as it does not we must reluctantly
decide in favor of Pittsburg. Tho case of
H. G. Stovey was exactly the same as that ot
Hieruaur except tbat be was claimed ny
Boston and the Board was compelled to decide
in favor of Boston. Connie Mace was given to
Pittsburg. He was claimed by tbe Boston
Association club. Tbe Board also adopted a
classification of leagues and associations,
based on tbe salaries paid, the number of clubs
and the population of their cities.
Tbe sensational business of the day was
transacted In a meeting of the National League.
There were present A. G. Spalding. J. M.
Spalding. Robinson. Byrne, Reach, O'Nell
and Brush. It was determined to sit down
heavily on Al Johnson and wipe out whatever
alleged claim the Brotberhood orphan may
think he still has. Brush and Van Hamm ex-
51alned the status of the Cincinnati situation,
be showing made was satisfactory and all the
Leaguers present obligated themselves to stand
by and uphold the action ot the League in ex
pelllncthe old clnb and maintaining the right
of franchise granted to the new club, reure
sented by Brush, Van Hamm, Mason, Frost
and associates.
This in itself would be sufficient to com
pletely knock out Johnson, but the magnates
trampled upon the corpse by agreeing that as
the old players of the Cincinnati club were
formally reserved by tbe League at tbe time of
Clnclnnats's expulsion, they should be assigned
to the uew club and that all League clubs re
frain from communicating with or negotiating
for any of said players. More than this it
was further resolved that all clubs should
unite in co-ooerating with Cincinnati to give
it material playing strength, so as to have it
occupy its old-time prominent position. Brook
lyn also offered George Smith, the really great
infielder, to Cincinnati, and New York, Chi
cago, Pittsburg and others followed suit
uromptly. Cincinnati will thus secure a Ann
Leagne team but Al Johnson is absolutely
frozen ont and loses every dollar of tho 40,000
he invested in baseball.
Tbe National Board adjourned at 9 o'clock
this evening, after action upon details concern
ing its routine work. The Western Association
also finally adopted a schedule and adjourned.
To-night nearly all the ball men left lor their
homes.
BECOMING HARMONIOUS.
Connor, O'Rourke and Richardson
wm
Bury the Hatchet at New York.
New Yobs, Feb. 11 Early morning trains
landed three of New York's star hall players In
town yesterday. Roger Connor, James H
O'Rourke and "Danny" Richardson came to
Gotham to talk bu3inesswith Messrs. Day and
Talcott relative to their signing League con
tracts for 18aL All of these players were at
Mr. raicntt's omce yesteruay.
"Jim" O'Rourke was the spokesman for the
trio. His sentiments are very manly and com
mendable, and should be copied by every ball
player who has the success of the national
game at heart. He said:
"Yej, there must be harmony in tbe NewYork
team. Tbe public really demands it. I don't
think there'll be any ill feeling between tbe old
Brotberhood men and those who remained
with tbe League. Every man is liable to make
mistakes, for which he should certainly be ex
cused by his fellow men.
"Personally! have nof&ellngof enmity against
Glasscock and otber League players, nor do I
think tbe other Brotherhood players have. We
must all forget the past and pull together how
for the good of tbe game. 1 am already train
ing for tbe opening of the season, and feel in
tiptop shape.
"Yes. Ward will have a great team in Brook
lyn if he is allowed full control. The Brooklyns
will give us a hard fight. But if we play to
gether 1 have no fear as to the final outcome of
he League race."
MAD IS CLEVELAND.
The Forest City Cranks Think Pittsburg Is
Getting Too Much.
Cleveland, Feb. 11 The Cleveland club
naturally objects because Pittsburg, which
welched in the 1890 fight. Is receiving more con
sideration from tbe League than Cleveland,
which more tban fought its way along. Any
players wanted by Cleveland are found to have
a price upon tbeir heads. Pat Tebeau has
begun to dicker over terms with Cleveland,
and has sent on bis unitorm measurements.
He will captain the 1S91 team. His price now
is very high. Beatln signed a Cleveland con
tract to-day and leaves for Hot Springs to
night. Tbe players sought by Cleveland now are
Crane, Bucklev and Bbarrott, of New York
Wilmot, of Chicago, and McUill, the left
handed pitcher. The latter is dickering over
terms. Wilmot is to be bought, and Crane
Sharrott and Buckley given. Mntrie interferes
on tbe two pitchers. Manager Leadiey has se
cured the Jacksonville, Fla., grounds from
March 10, and Is likely to sbare them with
either Louisville or Cincinnati. Tbe trade witb
the Boston Reds of Childs for Strieker and
Radford hangs fire, though the latter pair has
signed. Barnie is accused of Interference,
wanting Childs himself. Frazer. of Syracuse,
who sold Childs to Boston, has been after but
cannot find him, and tbe deal may cost Boston
moro money to close.
PITT8BUEG GETS LEET.
Gallagher, of Buffalo, Wins Bis Match With
Conners at Oil City.
rsrzctax. telboram to ths Dtsr.s.Tcn.1
OIL Citt, Feb. llTTbe Opera House was
well filled here to-night forthe wrestle between
Dennis Gallagher, of Buffalo, and James Con
ners, ot Pittsburg. Arthur Windsor, of Titus
ville, was chosen as referee. The first fall, in
17 minutes, and the third fall. In 5 minutes.
Grace-Roman, were won by Gallagher. The
second fall, in 8 minutes, and tbe fourth, in 6
minutes, catch-as-catch can, were won by Con
ners. Tbe fifth, collar-and-elbow, was won by
Gallagher in four minutes, giving him the
match and 40 per cent ot the gate receipts.
Conners gets 25 per cent.
After the last fall $50 forfeit was put up by
each for a match for $200 a side, to take place
here in six weeks, tbe style to be catcb-as-catch-can,
best two in three. Conners' wrestling in
Grace-Roman was almost wholly on tbe defen
sive, but be made it interesting for Gallagher
in tbe catch-as-catch-can. Tbe crowd was well
"pleased. There were some side contests iu
sparring, in which Buffalo, Erie and Oil City
talent participated. There was little betting
to-night, but several good ones are already
made on tbe match for which the forfeit has
been posted.
Extends the Pool Challenge.

to the challenge issued" by Henry Schwab in
'THE PITTSBURG "DISPA.TOHT .SUNDAY; EBRXJAET 1ST 1891T

SOME LIVELY KICKING.
The Pittsburg and Lawrencovillo Teams
Each WinuGame at Liberty Park.
The opening games of the revised schedule ot
tho Western Pennsylvania Football League
were favored with weather of the most favora
ble description for football playing yesterday.
The groundat Liberty Park was In excellent
condition and a large number ot spectators as
sembled to witness the-games between the
LawTenceville versus Homestead and Pitts
burg versus East End.
Tbe contest' between LawTenceville and
Homestead was commenced at 2:30, with Aleck
Macpherson acting as referee. The play from
start to finish' was of a very high order, but
the superior Combination of the Lawrence
ville's forwards , enabled-them to win by five
goals to nothing. The Homestead players
seemed 16 lose heart toward the close, but they
ought to remember that they were
playing against a team who are
strong . favorites tot tho pennant
Great interest ws taken in the game be
tween the Pittsburgs (late A.A.A.) and the East
End Club on aecnunt of tho contestants being
local teams. The Plttsburgshadgreat difficulty
in getting their team together, and upio the
last moment it was uncertain whether Captain
Horn, who was indisposed during the week,
would be able to play. At 4.30 the teams took
the field iu the following order:

The plsy calls for no detail, as the Pittsburg
team bad the game in band during the entire
90 minutes. Their play was a surprise to spec
tators and players alike, and with a little more
practice they will make all the clubs hustle for
tbe League championship. Wben time was
called they were in tbe majority by 0 goals to 0,
tho Pittsburg goalkeepei only having one diffi
cult shot to handle duriugthe game. McEwen
slaved a brilliant eame in the forward rank.
while Childs. Annesley and J. Smith also
showed remarkable form, tbe former scoring
no less thau four of the goals. Horn played
his usual safe game at back. A. T. Liddell
played tbe best game for the East End and saved

McKeespobt, Feb, 14. The Allegheny
Bessemer steel plant at Duquesne will start
Monday to work two-inch steel billets GO
feet long, and will only heat the billet
once working it. Heretofore the pig of
metal had to be heated twice while being
reduced to the steel billet, bat with the im
proved method the eight-inch pig of metal
will be heated once, and will then be started
and worked from the top to tbe bottom of
the mill, in order to be reduced to the steel
billet 2 inches by GO feet long. It will be
the first time this has been tried, and the
changes are being made so as to start it

Ohio and the Pittsburg, McKeesport and
Youghiogbeny railroads, will be raised eight
feet, to bring tbe level of the ground up to tbe
railroad grade and above high water. 1 he fill
will cost the company heavily and will be made
at once, so as to permit the building of addi
tions that will double the size of the plint.
The works are located on this ground, and the
water now reaches the ground, which the till

MILLIONS IK DISPUTE.
The Assigned Estate of Powell Sons & Co,
Again In Court.
SPECIAL TELEOKAK TO THE DISPATCH.l
Bedt-okd, Feb. 14. The affairs of the as
signed estate of Robert Hare, Powell Sons &
Co., so far as the same relate to lands in Bed
ford county, were before the courts here to
day. The Powells assigned their interest to
the Guarantee Trust Company, of Phila
delphia. In settling the estate the assignee
conveyed the property in Bedford county to a
corporation formed by creditors, known as the
Fowellton Iron Company. It is alleged by some
creditors tbat did not assent to this arrange
ment that tljo assignee had no power to convey
to the company, and action of ejectment by
tbe Guarantee Trust Company was instituted
last May, and as no appearance has been
entered by the defendants a judgement was
taken by default for the plaintiffs on the id
instant, and a writ issued to the Sheriff to dis
possess tbe defendants.
While tbls proceeding was pending, tbe
Powellton Iron Conmany applied to tbe court
to stay tbe writ, and the Trust Company de
clared that tbe proceeding was unauthorized by
them. Tne magnitude ot tbe controversy ap
pears when it Is considered tbat tbe appraised
value of the propertv involved is over $2,000,COO.
It appeared in tbe proceedings tbat no notice
had been given the Powellton Iron Company,
and the judgment was irregularly entered. In
rinding this, tbe plaintiff agreed tbat the ver
dict be set aside and the case was ordered for
trial at tbe April term, wben it is expected an
interesting trial will come up. in which will be
developed the truth or falsity of the charges
ot mismanagement made by Attorney Newell
on the part of the Guarantee Trust Company.

Hew York, Feb. 14. Nothing definite
bas been heard of the captain of the Norton
and'his non-caosizable, nnsinkable lifeboat
since she left Hew London, November, 24,
82 days ago. A rumor came from Gibraltar
that the vessel had passed there on her way
up the Mediterranean December 18. The
rumor was telegraphed from London to this
city as a fact. It conld not be traeed to an
authentic sonrce. The itdrine Journal
says:
The trip was an experimental one made la
midwinter for the puroose of proving tbat the
water ballast system, of which Captain Norton
was tbe Inventor, when applied to any craft,
insured it against capsizing or sinking. Wo
fear one or the other of tbe two causes, which
the inventor claimed was impossible, has led to
tbe loss of tbe F. L. Norton with all on board,
as notbingreliable has been heard from them
since their departure."
