Cllnc, of Philadelphia. It was thought by the talent that on account of lack of practice the ritts burcer would be defeated bj the Easterner, but this was not the case, as Uuschcrt almost atthe beginning took the lead Ho held it to the end, winning by TO points. Iho winner played a good game, considering the cold. At -times he was unsteady, but when he cot nicely warmed up he placed remarkably well. Some of his draw shots merited rounds of applause. Clinedid not appear to he at all in form and on several occasions what ma) be called luck was dead .nprainut.hin). feconne was slow for two-thirds of tne game but durinz the laBt bundled butfi ulaycxa were warmed up a little and the "ceiiturj" was made in mucn quicker link, than either of the previ ous hundreds In the thud muine Boschert made a tine mn ot 16 and t:ns inspired his sup porters greatlr F-tnu That point on ho stead il gained uuti he was 1G0 when Clme reached Lis hr-t huudred.

Tlie Local Magnate Explains the llaseball MtitaUou Down at Cincinnati. President O'Xcil arrived in the city from Ciucinnjti jestcrday, and was just as eloquent as ctcr andadal more confident of having a pennant w limine team in this ciu. He didn't lic-ltatc tsa that the Association is "not in It" iu Cincinnati During a torn ersauou on the Cincinnati situation be said: "Vlij ever thing the Association people are doing or saying in Cincinnati is merely bluff. The) know they cannot get a team in Cincin nati. They bae neither money nor players. Tliet arc now tijingto get aclub in Indianap olis or Detroit or liullalo. They are willing to go to anj placo it they can only get out ot Cin cinnati "The Leagce'i prospects are all right in Cin cinnati V nj. just to-day I have received a teltgramfiom lanager Iftus asking me If he Miould fci.ru ltaubojrnc auu Mike Kellj for the Cincinnati u.im. 'that means be can get them. 1 have told him to picisc himself as he vill be lcspoii bible for tue woik of the team. 1 "nil return to Liucunati nrobably to-morrow, and befnp this week is ended 1 will hate all the stock of the Cinciunau club sold to Cin cinnati iapitalis:s. I bate retell ed dozens of telegrams Ironi Cincinnati citizens akmg about tin' ciUb stock. Oh. lef, Cincinnati is all right. The AssOLiation renegades arc wanting to be back under national agreement protec tion. Ibey can get back il tbc leave behind tho-e characters who for years have been ciusing endless trouble. The tuture of base ball inu-t b protected, and the. onl wavtouo o is to puige it of the ciiaractcrs'l refer to. 1 he League means to do it and you can depend on that." Speaking or the Baldwin case Mr. O'Ueil ald: "1 have just Si ired Mark this morning. 1 think ho has a good case against Von dcr Ahe. 1 i fact the latter is quite Milling to settle it. He expects to meet me in Cincinnati to bx up matters, but there is no fixing m me. I tlurk Baldwin can make Yon dir Ahe fork out $10, W0 for his little game. Depend upon it Von derAhe knows he has gotten himself into a hole. He will have to take the consequence. Lam now absolutely determined that the As-ociation has no legal or moral claims on O'Connor. Keillv and Baldwin. These players will certain v remain here. I may sign Pete , Brow ning for Cincinnati. He w ent back on his agieemcnt wuh Pittsburg and the terms we ottered him don't go now. If he wants to play berc he'll have to take much less than we first offered hi iu. I cxpn.t that Jim iogartv will soon be all right, and that ho will be on our team. He was nut as sick as reported." JIMKT GALVIN RELEASED. Tlie Old frport, Berger and Hecker Are Gil en Thcii A alklng Papers. A very unpleasant feature cropped up in local baseball affairs jestenlay afternnou, re sulting in the unconditional release of Galvin, Berger and Keeker. The cases of the two first named have caused a deal of dissatisfaction among tlie patrons of the club, because it has all along been understood that both Galvin and Berger were to play on tho team. Ihe truth is, both players have been repeatedly told by President O'NciI and others that the) would be on the team. Now that the) have been re leased thei claim that they have been unjustly dealt with b being kept waiting until other good clnbs have made up their teams. On 'be other hand. PiesidcntO'Xeil stated that since the-e plajers were assured that they would Dlavbere. things nave enanged. In the case of Galvin. htratton anil Baldwin have been f igned. and in the case of Berger, O'Connor has been secured. This. Mr. O'Xeil claims, alters thiig!. and the club cannot afford to carrv all the men, but will only keep those whom Manager Uanlnn deems suitable. Galvin's release was made out at his own request, as he refused to sin lor a salary less than ho last had with the club. Berger states his case as follows: ''President O'Neil signed iin to play with the L-agne cltib of Pittsburg iu lSUl at a salary of 2,000. He offi-i ed to keep me on the new team at Sl,io0, or it 1 would wait awhile 1 might get 2,000 to go to Cincinnati. I cannot afford to wait again and be dnpsd." Almost every local patron of the game will re gret tiiat the gay "old s,port" Galim has been set cred from the club. It is difficult to thiiknf a local team minus "Gentle Jeeins." an many a glorious da be has made for the ! husiastic crow ds that used to be packed into P creation Park. Ho is still a good man, and rtamly lots or good clubs will be ready to se cure him at once. It is no exageration to say that Galnii and Berger will make a first class battcrj. Ihci arc, luaeed, good men in their positions. Ld Swartwood was also informed that the lo cal club aid not need his service; thus all the hopes of the four pla) ers in question have only been illusions as far at the focal club is con Lcrned. . WILL GO SOUTH. Local Magnates Decide to Send Thelr Team on a Trip to Florida. It has been settled to send the local baseball team on a Southern trip before the champion ship season opens. The directors of the club met yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Anderson and came to a'dellnitc conclusion on the matter.

Hanlon and Maul, outfielders. It is thought that Stratton and Carroll will not be here in timo to Jola the team for tho trip. President O'Nell thinks tiat the trip wilfdo the players a great amount ol good, and that tno expense will not be very great. The plaj ers who are to go on the trip will be notitied to report here on Saturday. If Stratton cannot getberoin time "Phenomenal" bmnh will go instead. INTER-COLLEGIATE ATHLETES.

The Great English University Boat Eace Likely to Be a Close One. fBT DUSLAr'S CABLE COHPAXT.l Loimojr, March 16 The University boat race to be rowed on Saturday prpmlses to be an unusually interesting event. A fortnight ago there was a general concensus of opinion in favor of Oxford, the dark blue crew, but the last few days has proved that there is scarcely a second's difference between its performances and those ot its opponents, the light dues, while partisans of the latter declare that the men are steadily improving and that tne odds are now in their favor. This ought to put Cambridge ahead of the betting, but unfortunately experts on the tow path, who have watched the two boats, are by no means agreed as to result of their observa tions, all ot which will make Saturday's con test one of the most exciting in recent boating historj.

Philadelphia, March 1C Secretary John P. Fanshawe, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, makes the following statement concerning toe decision of the Inter-State Commerce Commission in the Coze suit that is of interest: With no disrespect to the commission, which has evidently given to the cause vervdclinerate and intelligent thought, we will probably re fuse to reduce our rates, and in the proceed ings which raav then be instituted in the United States Circuit Court for Pennsylvania, will endeavor to show that our rates aro not un reasonable. Our charters, under which our whole carriage is made, permit us to charge much higher rates than those which have been condemned. Wo do not think that it Is within the power of Congress to disregard tneso char ters and to compel us to carry for a less rale than we are permitted to charge. We do not think that the act of Congress is meant to per mit any condemnation of rates as unreasonable and unjust which are specially authorized by the deals which confer the franchises to trans port. We do not see in the act of Congress any authority to pass upon such questions. ON TBIAL FOB COWARDICE.' Serious Charges Brought Against Captain Cattley, of tho Second Infantry.-' Omaha, March 16.

HELP THAT CAME MUCH TOO LATE. The Seas Beating Clear Over the Galena, . Aina and Triana. A COURT OF IKQDIRY TO BE APPOINTED New Bedfoed, March 16. The revenue cutters Dexter, of Newport, and Gallatin, of Boston, ' arrived in this harbor at 11 o'clock this morning. The Dexter had on board tbe officers and crew ot the Triana, wrecked on Cuttyhunk. The Dexter left Newport at 5 o'clock this morning for Gay Head to render what assistance was possible. She arrived at Cuttyhunk at 8:15 o'clock. She reported a heavy sea and a strong south west wind. The waves were breaking with terrible force over the Triana, and it was apparent that she was doomed. The bows have set tled and the stern is lifted above water. If tbe wind continues it is expected she will go to pieces. The Dexter only sighted the Galena. She was in the fury of the waves which were dashing over her with such force that only the top masts could be seen through the mist. The Dexter's officers would not speat of her condition or pros pects, but say they are much worse than they were yesterday. They think all three vessels will be broken up. The Gallatin Was Too Late. The Gallatin wnich left Boston yesterday arrived at the Vineyard at 1 o'clock last night, where she lay until the morning, when she cut out into the sound, but he cause of rough weather and impossibility to be of service she returned. It was then she sighted the Dexter and accompanied her to this port. A dispatch from Washington says: A number ot telegrams have been received at the Navy Department in regard to tbe con dition of the Galena and the tngs Nina and Triana, and the efforts being made to save them from destruction. From these it ap pears that the Galena and Nina are ashore abeut a mile from Gav Head, and the Triana is aground at Cuttvbunk. The Galena has lost bee rudder and rudder post and part of her keel. The Nina is entirely out of water and is thought to be only slightly damaged. Lieu tenant Commander Bicknell reports that the Nina can be saved and that the Galena may possibly be floated again. The Triana went aground Sunday morning at 3 o'clock. She was on her way to Gay Head with supplies for the officers and crews of the other ves sels. In response to telegraphic appeals- made by Assistant Secretary boley the tug Mercu-y, at Woods' Holl, the revenue cutter Exeter and a powerful tug of Boston started this morning for Cuttyhunk for the relief of theTriaua, and it is expected that they will be able to drag her into deep water before serious damage is done. The Triana May Be Floated. A telegram was received this morning from Lieutenant Commander Lyon, in com mand of the Triana, saying that she can be floated if the Droper means are 'promptly em ployed. The officers and crew were still on the'vessel when this telegram was sent. Lieutenant Commander Lyon was executive officer of the Trenton when she was wrecked at Samoa. Assistant Secretary Soley, who is now acting as Secretary of the Navy, said this morning that a court of inquiry will be appointed to investigate all the circum stances attending the accidents to the three vessels with a view of placing the responsi bility therefor and determining the necessity for a general court-martial. It is stated -at the Navy Department that the Galena was ordered from the New York to the Portsmouth yard for repairs for the reason that the latter yard possessed better facilities for the repairmgof wooden vessels.
