TELEGRAM TO THE OIFPATCff.t St. Adgcstixe, April 4. The third game of the series between the Cleveland and Pittsburc teams was played this after noon at the Ponce de Leon park and re sulted unexpectedly in the defeat of the Pittsburgs. It was a delightful day for the players, but a little cold for the spectators ; in fact, some of the Pittsburps" friends got "frozen." There was a good audience, large enough, it is hoped, to encourage the return very soon of the victors of this "rubber." The splen did hitting of Tebeau and Virtue and the good wort of Tebeau and Virtue on first and second base were features of the game. The Clevelands have a fine aggregation of base rutiners ami fielders. Pittsburg Includes in its club the heaviest batters met yet on the field. The boys bat e not cnt over being a little stale." and when they get their eyes" they will make many a pitcher weep. BecUey astonished even himself at first base. Galvin, in the box. gained additional fame. Cleveland put its best foot forward and won the game by heavy slogging, Staley being hit freely, and Galvin, who went into the box in the sixth inning, was unable to keep the ball out of their way entirely. Virtue outdid him self, and rapped out a three-bagger, two-bagger and a single. Bierbauer made a total of nine putouts at second, wi'h tu singles at bat, but his three errors were costly ones. The boys feel that they are not in good condi tion as jet, and will remain in practice for a week and then go to Jacksonville and make things warm for Cleveland. Browning has not jet got his batting clothes, having made but one hit in the three games. Following is the score; TUTS. K B r A EICLEVEL'D.

The Chicago Second Ba6exnan May Have to lace the National Board. CHICAGO. April i. Glenalvin, the second baseman of Anson's last year's team, may be called on to explain his actions to tbo Board of Control. He signed last fall with Ansou and expected to play here the coming season. When the White Stockings went to the wall and Fred Pfelfer was signed by the local club Glenalvin felt that he would not be wanted, and so opened negotiations with Portiann,Ore., to play secon 1 base and manage the team. Jim Hart has been trying for a month to find out from Glenalvin what he wants to do, but in vain, feometime ago he wrote here asking for his release. Anson had paid 1,000 last year for his release from Wheeling and wanted soma return from it. He wrote back that Portland could have him provided he was surrendered at any time Anson wanted him. No reply ha been received to this. Glenalvin is going right ahead with his work of signing players for Portland, and although his contract with Chi cago u ent into effect April 1 he seems to pay no attention to it. KING HAS JUMPED. Tbo St. Louis ritclier't. Position So Longer Remains in Doubt. The new charge preferred against Mark Bald win by Von der Abe leaves no doubt regarding the po-ition of Pitcher King. It is now charged that Mark "did induce King to jump his cons tract with the St. Louis Brons." This means that King has engaged to play with a League team. A day or two ago TiiEDiSFATcn exclusively Etated that King had rxprccd himself to the effect that he did not want to play in the Asso ciation, and that l:i contract with the St. Louis club was invalid became of being wrongly drawn up. But it can be proven that Baldwin bad nothing whatever to do in influencing King's mind against the Association, because King has for a ery long time past declared his hatied toard Von der Abe and his gang. It is to a great extent a mystery as to tbo League club King will play in. One authority Lames Chicago, and Ciucinuati and Pittsburg are named. MOKE ABOUT KING. Ho Is Said to IIae a l!ig Offer From a League Clnb. St. Louis, April i. Pitcher Charles King has net yet reported for duty. It is said that he has stated that he has not been properly treated by the St. Louis management, and does not intend to plav here. King signed to play here the coming season for S3.200, and at the time is alleged to have been very anxious to sign for that amount. Since then he is believed, however, to have been offered considerably more by some League clubs to pitch for them, ana he wants to get this increase of salarr. If King violates his contract he can noi only be enjoined from play ing, but can be made to pay any judgment for damages the St. Louis club may secure against him, as he is worth considerable money, and owns several houses here. Von der Abe made another application tonlay for conspiracy against Baldwin, who is still here, but the war rant was roluscd, as the first case has not yet been tried. ANSON IN HARD LTJCZ. Miserable "Weather Prevents Ills Team l"rom Practicing Out at Denier. Denver April 1. The miserable weather of the past week has given Adrian C. Anson a fit of the dumps. He is not favorably impressed with the beauty of Colorado's climate. For nearly a week bis corral ol colts has not been let loose, and the players have had no oppor tunity for getting in shape for the big struggle tliey will soon engage in. Ryan, Wiilmot. An con, Kittridge and Fo-rer find relief at the billiard table. The others read, play cards and indulge in professional reminiscences. There is relief in sight, however, tor the b ill grounds are already rid ot the b''d of snow. The chances are now very lavorable for a Hall game Satur day. It is more than probable that Chicago and Denver will pla every day next week. Anon will start East one week from Saturday, and must hare some practice befure that time. A CLUB AT ALT00NA. It-Is Kxpec.'ea That the Cuban Giants Will Play There This beason. IKl'KCIAL TELEUKaM TO THE DISPATCH.! ALTOONA, April i. It looks as if this town is gomgto liave a baseball club for the coming season. The members of the Altoona Driving Park have taken hold of the matter. K. K. Myers, ct Harnsburg, who is one of the owners of the Cuban Giants, has made a proposition to locate the team hcie as representative of the Atlantic Association. The Park Association held a meeting Thurs day eveniug and discussed the matter. There is a strong probability that the Giants will be located here. The club is composed of fine ball player;, who were the leaders in the Inter state League last season. The grounds at the park will be put in shape as soon as the weather permits. "Wants to Be an Umpire. Wasiiinotow, April 4. In the mail received to-day by President Young, of tho National League-there, was a' communication from William A. Sunday, of the Philadelphia. League team, statins that bs .had decided to eschew baseball playing in the future, but would bo willing to act as an umpire.

In accordance with his de sire. President Young released Sunday' from bis obligations to the Philadelphia club. CAYLOR'S BASEBALL TALK. He Speaks of the Uncertainties of the Teams and Has a Few Words to Say About Inhibition Games and Mike Kelly. 1 ronnnspo-DEKCE or THK DISPATCH.I NettYobk, April i There is going to be strong element of uncertainty in the various baseball leagues and associations this year, so for as it concerns the probable showing the different teams will make in the season's struggle. In former years, last year excepted, we have had some of the clubs enter the seasou with substantially the same teams they had on the field the year before, so that, with such clubs at least, some estimate could be formed in ad vance of the work which they would be able to perform. It is different this year. Every town East of the Mississippi river will be new in its make-up. The Cincinnati and Chicago League teams will come the nearest of all perhaps in comparison to their last year's form. One sew outfielder, a new shortstop andorobablya new third baseman will consti tute "the Cincinnati team's new material. Chicago will have last year's team strength ened by Fred Pfeffer, Ad Gumbertand two young minor league stars. Elsewhere there is not a League or Association club which will not present from tbieeto six men to mix in with the strongest material from its last season's team. This mixture oftbenewand old material will make the teams' strength altogether prob lematical for a time because it is a well estab lished fact that a nine must be capable of doing good team work else the individual strength of its players will go for nought. But no one who studies these things can deny that in nearly every instance the apparent strength of the League and Association teams for 1S91 is vastly stronger than it was In 1S9. The possible exceptions are to be found in St. Louis, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The snrpins of players has also made the Western League and International League teams mucli stronger than ever before view ing them collectively. When players like Charlie Smith, Charlie Bassett, Joe Knight. Bob Gilks, go without en gagements on fiit-clas teams, one can under stand that there is no shortage in the market. The newspapers have pretty thoroughly frightened the public about the dangers of catching cold in this grip period. But in spite of the fact that nine ont of every ten persons are carefully avoiding any exposure that might bring on a cold, we hear reDorts from all base ball centeis of hundreds of spectators sitting or standing in the bleak, raw winds of these early April days watching bundled up ball players go through the farce of an "exhibition game." Yes. and they pay a price in current coin for this chance to woo the ravager of health. All of which goes to show that so soon as the warm days come and the real championship games begin, neither grip, cholera, smallpox or hydrophobia will keep the multitudes away from the ball grounds. These early spring exhibition games are a monstrous mistake, speaking collectively of them. There aro a number of reasons for such a declaration. First, the public, or that part of it which takes an Interest in these games, is bun koed; secondly, the players frequently get in jured or become ill from exposure to the in clement elements; and, thirdly, the excuse for games take the edge off the opening of the real championship season. If yon pay good money to go out and see how your favorite team is going to show up when the season opens, you will be thoroughly foolea. It is not the team which you see, but a patched up nine. Not one out of SO times does the reg ular team which afterward goes into champion ship games appear on the diamond in these ex hibition or practice games. Pitchers play in the field, and catchers on the bases. Sometimes an ambitious outsider is rung in on a base, be hind the bat or in tbc field. Those who are in the game do not play a pay ing kind of game. J hey do not intend to sprain a leg, rupture a nerve or burst a flue in these jay contests. And we cannot blame them. Then, too, the old players who Indulge in these early games are not in condition to do good work. It is a notorious fact that tho longer a man plays ball, the rustier he turns up in the spring, and the longer it takes him to get the hair out of his eyes and the starch out of bis musclec Why do not theateri open their doors to pay ing patrons attbeir dress rehearsals? AVby docs not Barnum charge admission aud make a few dollars while he rehearses his show at Madison Square Garden 7 Why are not race courses inclined to earn a few dollars while tho horses are getting their preliminary spins around the track? True, Barnum has a parade before the show opens in a city, but that is free and before the whole world. It might be wise, therefore, to tramp the baseball players through the town over a certain route every spring after their re port a la Barnum's elephant. But to require them to play ball, or to pretend to plav in tho grip weather of March and early April, is but few degrees short of murder to the players and persecution to the crazy spectators. It is a matter of wonder, as well as of general congratulation, that the bitter partisan feeling which existed about a year ago and continued all of last summer has died away disappeared as the morning fog vanishes before the rising sun. There may be a fool crank here and tbero who occasionally fans tho expiring coals ot his "war" passion with the bellows of a weak mind. But even he is not in his baseball heart sincere. We are all goin'g to be a united army of base ball cranks again this year, and will discuss scores after a game and forget about the rela tive sizes of the crowds, except to remember that they were all immense. In all this universal prevalence of la grippe, I have heard of but two ball players who suffered from itB attack Kelly and Strieker. In their cases the chances are the complaint was merely a cold. The two cases, however, are interesting in the way of getting at the characteristics of the disease. It proves that la gnppe is no re spectrr of persons; it attacks the great ana tho small; the kingly and lowlj; the handsome man and the man of comely looks. It can't be frightened off by balo of glory or a mask. biuce the grip seized Kelly, none of us are safe. But what I started out to say was thatthe ball player's peculiar mode of living must go far tunard exempting him from colds and diseases of the respiratory organs. How manr professional players have yon ever heard of w ho died from exposure, accident on the field or in railroad accidents? Seems to me they make good life insurance risks. O. P. CAYJ.OR.

TILED HAM TO THE DISFATCIM McKeesport. April 4. The Eureka and McKeesport football teams played a League game to-day, which resulted in the defeat of the Eurckas by the score 6 to 2. Tho McKees port team expects to capture the pennant, if good playing will do it. McDonald, which is ahead of McKeesport, played but one game prior to to-day. The team gained its place by winning one game and counting five others which were forfeited to it. In playing against this team the other teams have uphill work, as they have to play and win these games. Jones in Great Form. rSrECIAI. TELEGHAM TO TUB DISPATCIM McKeesport. April 4. Thayer Taneyson who was signed as manager for the Erie base ball club, aud Henry Jones, who was formerly a pitcher for the Pittsburg club and who signed to pitch with the Erie club, will join the team lato this month. Jones is practicing and ills friends say his delivery this year is terrible. He is away ahead of what he was last year, and the Eries have secured a good man in time. Will Keep the Score Cards. The local baseball club will keep Its score card privilege this year. There were several applicants for the contract, but all money to be made in that line wlll.be kept bv the club. A. G. Pratt has, therefore, ordered 50,000 score cards for the club. Selected Their Colors. There was a meeting of the Allegheny Ath letic Association yesterday afternoon at the office of O. D. Thompson. It was decided that the club's colors be blue with narrow white stripes about an inch apart. The club's badge will be white with a blue keystone as a center emblem. ADJOURNED THE MATCH. Collenge Throws Beilly Once and Lack of Time Stops Their Contest. There was a. very large attendance, about (600 worth, and any amount of excitement at the wrestling match last evening between Ed Keilly and the unknown, who is now claimed to be Reuben Collenge. The men were on tbo carpet froai 8:55 to 11:30. when the match was postponed, Collenge having one fall to bis credit. Tho contest was for most of the time a splen did one, Reilly displaying remarkable strength in breaking holds and Collenge displaying won derful art in getting the holds. The conditions were the best two of three falls, catch-as-catch-can style, for 250 a side and the receipts. The contest took place in New Turner Hall. Alle gheny, and the audience was a thoroughly rep resentative one. There was a strong force .of policemen present, and exceptiug the excite ment at intervals there was nothing that could be termed disorderly conduct. The excitement consisted of cheers and shouts for the competi tors. Air. r. uaiy acien as reieree ana aia well. When the wrestlers faced each other they compared well for sizo and condition. Each was within a pound of 135 pounds, and they both had determination marked on their faces. Reilly began cautiously and soon Collenge forced matters. It was soon evident that be knew more about the business than the Twelfth warder and be repeatedly secured some very dangerous holds. These were repeatedly broken by Reilly. Time and time again Reilly broke the "half Nelson" almost as soon as Collenge got it on. Finally after wrestling about 45 minutes Collenge secureda body hold, and after keeping it a short time threw Reill four or five feet across the carpet, landing him square on his shoulders. "One fall for the Un known." said the referee. The fall was gained in 48 minutes. After ten minutes' rest the contestants faced eacb other again. Reilly was still chiefly on the defensive, but once or twice secureda leg bold, but it was of little avail against bis tricky opponent. The men wrestled on and on nntil masters becam exceedingly monotonous, aud when 11:30 arrived tho referee ordered an ad journment. He will decide to-morrow after noon whether or not tho contest is to be con tinued. It is unfortunate that a definite result ono way or the other in the way of victory and de feat was not reicbed. But so far the contest has proven that Pittsburg has in Reilly one of the best lightweight wrestlers in the world. He has bad comparatively little experience, and bisperformance last evening stamps hi m as a remarkable little wrestler. It is to be hoped that the contest will bo continued to a finish. Will Leave New Orleans. New Orleans, April 1 The various stables of runners here will leave to-morrow, their destination being as follows: Memphis Avon dale stable, 12 horses; Buckland stable. 2; Gilford stable, 5; R. H.

Fawcett, 3; L Glenn, 3: Mills k Brutus, 2; J. W. Sweeney, 6. An Important Decision. A very important decision has been arrived at by the directors of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association, and one which will have in all probability far reaching con so quences. It has been decided that in all three- in five races, after tho third beat horses not having won a heat will be sent to tbe stable, no matter how many start. The distance in all three in five races will bo 100 yards. It was also decided that m ail two in three races after the second beat horses not baring won a heat Mill be sent to the stable. The distance in two in three races was fixed at 80 yards. This is a re form which has often been advocated. It will cut tbe evil of dropping heats to a minimum. It will make it difficult to "milk the lambs," through the medium of the books and tbe mutuels, and will tend very greatly to make every heat a race. The experiment will be watched with tbe closest interest, and if suc cessful, as it onght to be, will lead to a big re form all along the line. Sporting Notes. The New York team defeated the Princeton Col lege nine by 4 to 1 J estcrday. The Brooklyns defeated the Jaspers yesterday by tbc modest score oriG to 1. Adonis, 2:tl& has been turned out. Ue was blistered for a splint, but has never shown a lame step. If Fat Farrell defeats Daly to-morrow night he will at ouce be matched against "higher game." The indications are that staley and Galvin will get plenty of exercise before tbey return from the houtii. THE treatment orMark lialdwln in St. Louis is the grossest outrage that has ever disgraced base ball history. Senorita Is reported to be in good form, and so far lias shown no symptoms of barmlrom her winter sickness. IT Is said that Klmer foster is dissatisfied with his place on the Chicago team and wants to get awav. Foster would fit the Cincinnati team nicely. Pat FAnitELL. his trainer, Ed Smith, and a host of 1'lttsburgcrs will leave for Philadelphia to-day, where Farrell is to fight Jim Daly to morrow evening. DENSTand liucklev reported for duty yester day. Both sav they are in good trim. Buckley has been -toning himself aown by practicing at handball in Chicago.

TiiEchlcf result of the reeent Lonsdalc-bhrews-bury driving match, in wlilcb Lord Lonsdale had a wait or rather a drive over, has been to boom American buggies.

A BITTER CONTEST, The Ballot Testimony in the Greevy Scnll Case All Taken. EACH SIDE HAD ITS OWN METHOD. in Infant Prodigy Who SolTes Bard Hathematical Problems. CANTON EEP0ETS A HOTEL SUICIDE rsrxciAi. teleohak to the dispatch. t Altooita, April 4. The Greevy-Scull Congressional contest" is closer, so far as the taking of testimony is concerned. Greevy's ten days, which is allowed by law in re buttal, expired to-night. His counsel have been busy all over the district, engaged principally in gathering up tbe ballot-boxes to take to Washington. During his 40 days for taking testimony, Mr. Scull took certain ballots out of the boxes which he alleged were illegal, and marked them as exhibits. Greevy's counsel contend that the Election Committee alons has the power to judge whether a vote is illegal or legal, and hence they took all the ballots, en closed them in envelopes, and will return them with the testimony and let tbe Election Com mittee decide from the testimony and pick out the illegal votes. Mr. Scull's mode of proceedure was to offer in evidence the voting and registry lists, and if a voter's name on the voting list was not spelled precisely as it was on tbe registry list, it was called an illogal vote. The ballot of the voter taken from the box, for instance,in Berlin, Somerset county, wai A. J. Hellar on the vot ing list and Rev. A. J. Hellar on the registry list. The Method of Scull's Counsel. Mr. Scull's counsel took this ballot out as illegal, on the ground of non-regitry. A. R. Cremer was on the voting list, and Rev. A. R. Kramer on the registry list. This was taken out as illegal, and so on. The legality of a voter's ballot by Mr. Scull's system depended upon whether the clerk of the election board spelled his name as it was registered. Mr. Greevy called each voter in person whose vote he attacked, and identified him with his on the voting list. In Somerset county the Prothonotary refused to deliver up tbe ballot boxes of Somerset boiougb, of which be' is custodian. S. S. Forney, of Brother's Valley, and James M. Cover, of Jenner Cross Roads, likewise refused to deliver up the ballot boxes of close town ships. Tbe United States Commissioner issued warrants for their arrest on tbo oath of Mr. Greevy, and United States Marshal Ycrger Is now in Somerset county serv ing the warrants. In Blair countv all tbe ballots were destroyed, except the ballots in the four wards of Tyrone and the Second pre cinct of the Fifth ward of this city. The Scull fieoplemadeno effort to put in evidence the allots saved. Mr. Greevy gathered in the Tyrone ballots, but Mayor Burchfield, of this city, custodian of the ballot box of tbe Seoond precinct of tbe Fifth ward, refused to deliver ir, and refused to obey the subpoena. Hence Mr. Greevy's counsel are unable to produce it. A Bitterly Contested Case. Mr. Greevy's counsel say that he has made out a clean cut case, and Mr. Greevy himself is perfectly satisfied that such is the case. It has been a bitterly fought contest, and hearings have held in session nearly every day for the full 00 days, and the expenses will run up heavily. A special dispatch from Bedford says: Tbe Greevy-Scull contest throughout the district, as far as taking evidence is con cerned, closed to-day in the counties of Bedford and Somerset, Tbe evidence taken shows that it will be a stand-off between the contestant" and enntestee, ana it was in these counties that this contest attracted the most attention. Political bitterness came to the surface in Somerset county, the home of Mr. Scull. Mr. Greevy was unable to secure the services of an attorney to conduct his pase. being com pelled to go there himself to look after his in terests. In Blair and Cambria Mr. Greevy has thrown out over 700 illegal ballots, which ap parently overcome the majority returned for Mr. Scull by over 100 votes. A CHILDISH PE0DIGY. Thongh Untutored, He Can Instantly Solve Intricate Mathematical Problems. T5PJCCTAI. TEtEOBAU TO TOE PISPATOn.t ' Washington, Pa., April 4. Washington county has a prodigy in the person of Charles Lewellyn. Young Lewellyn is a genius of tbe lightning calculator stripe. He lives with his parents near California, a small town on tbe Monongahela river. Charles is only about 5 years old, and appears even younger. Tbe child knows absolutely nothing about even tbe lower branches of study, with the exception of arithmetic, and the knowledge he possesses upon this subject he certainly did not obtain from teachers. Young Lewcllyn's ability in calculations was discovered by accident- Two of California's residents were, not long ago, engaged in con versation relating to tbe purchase of a farm. When the matter of summing up the interest and principal was arrived at, one of tbe gentle men commenced to make a calculation with a paper and pencil, when young Lewellyn, who was standing near by, informed them of the correct figures. The boy was asked how he ar rived at the answer, and his reply was: "I don't know bow I did it, I just know what the answer will be." Further investigation de veloped the fact that tbe 6-year-old boy was ready with almost any mathematical problem, however difficult, that might be put to him. He can be asked to double, tripleior quadruple any number, aud almost before the questioner's lips arc closed is ready witb the correct answer. He is equal to tbe most difficult problem of mathematics. THE NEW CATHOLIC BISHOP. Rev. Dr. Brennan Will Be Consecrated In Erie To-Day. rPrXClAL TELEOItAM TO THB DISPATCIT.l Erie. April 4. Rev.
