They Are Fine Ones, Flayed by Two Teams of the Pittsburg Clnb Honors Evenly Divided The Programme for This "Week In Fine Form. IfrrCIAl. TK.EQKAM TO Till DIBriTCH. I St. ATJQCSTise, April 1L To-day Man ager Hanlon inaugurated a new system of practice, wholly differeut from that pursued the fore part of the week. The result was very gratifying to Hanlon and the players in general. It showed an inclination on the part of both clubs to make a cood showing, which they did by a glance at the scores of both rataes. Hanlon cantained the first team, Bier bauer the second Good, clean fielding and base hits at the proper time, which were productive of runs, toils the story of the first game. Baldwin and Bercer occupied the points for Bauer's nine, while Maul and Fields did the work for Hanlon's team. The principal features of the same Mere Berber's excellent catching and throwing to bases; Beckley's terrific drive to the center fence for a home run, and Baldwin's line shot to the left field fence for three bases when the bases were lull; heavy bitting In the second iiinins; two fielding errors. A base on balls cave Bauer's men six runs and the game, feowre: Uauers 0 6 0 0 0 1 7 llanluns 0 0 0 12 10-4 bt'MMAKY Earned runs Baner6, 2.

The second game began with Gjilvm and Beiger for Bauer's team. while Staley and Mac t worked for Haulon's side. Terrific hitting by Hanlon's team netted them 13 runs, six of which were earned, Carroll, Browning and Bauer being unusually effective. Carroll hitting lor two two-baggers, a triple and a home run. In tins game tune innings were played aud close to 400 people saw the game. The many excellent plays brought much applause, while the en thusiasm never wavered. The Pittsburg team plays in Jacksonville Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with Cleve land; then to Macon Ihnrsday and Friday, winding up at Atlanta. That they are in good form and read) to do battle for championship honors is the verdict of many a Northern crank who has seen the team play.

The Eureka and Homestead Football Teams Have a Tie Contest, Two football games were scheduled to come off yesterday at Recreation Park, Allegheny. The first was between Lawrenceviile and bhanei, but the latter club failed to appear, and the game was awarded to theLanrence v.lles, who played a practice game, in which some very good play was exhibited. They ex pect to keep in splendid form for their great game with McDonald, which is sure to be a hot one. The second game was between the Eurekas and Homesteads, and was hotly contested, the score at the close being a tie, cne goal each. Both sides exhibited very clever play at times in the first half. 1 he first goal was taken by the EnrekaslO minutes from the start, after some brilliant play. The Homesteads retaliated and soon equalized matters. In one of their rushes Sienart, of Homestead, had his collar bone broken, and was assisted off the field. In the tt-cond half good play was witnesed on botb sides, but during the last 15 minutes of the game the nreka fairly besieged their op ponents' goal, sending in shot after shot, which failed to take effect owing to the exceeding smartness of the Homestead goalkeeper. Pickard, Rickaby, Gittings and "Paddy" Mc Clelland played a champion game, and bad hard Uses in not scoring. Frank Morton gave a good exhibition of fair umpiring. He has a thorough knowledce of the game. WILL KEEP THEM BOTH. Foreman and Durjea to Be Retained by the Cincinnati Club. rsrECIAI. TELIGBAM TO THIS DISPATCH.! CIKCIN3TATZ, April 1L When the signing of Pitcher Radbourne was announced it was im mediately given out that either Foreman or Duryea would be released. It seems quite cer tain that both will be kept. Foreman Is a fine batter, and is, according to reports, doing excellent work as a fielder. He may be needed. The Association grounds here will be all ready for the opening except the grading. If the present wet weather prevents the comple tion of that work, the games will be transferred to Columbus. FAEBEUM VERSION OF IT. The Plttsbnrger Claims He Was Bobbed of His Fight With Daly. Pat Farrell, the local pugilist, and E. C. Mc Clelland, the pedestrian, returned from Phila delphia yesterday morning, and the former had much to say regarding his recent glove contest with Jim Daly. Pat's version of the affair is quite different from almost all the accounts sent out from Philadelphia. During a conver sation with the writer, he said: The Quaaer City Athletic Clnb is a frand and a swindle, and when I say that it is com posed of such characters as Arthur Chambers and Alt Lnnt, you will see what I say is correct. Professional gamblers run it, and it is impos sible for a stranger to get a sauare deal in it if these gamblers' interests are to suffer. They robbed me and they know it. and so does every fair minded man who saw the contest between myself and Daly. They had the selling of tickets, and of course bad all their own friends there. "As far as the fight was concerned, I had tbo best of it from start to finish. I really could have knoLked Dalv out of the ring in the first round had I desired to act a little unfairly. He would not coaw out of bis own corner, aud Fngarty urged me to go in and knock him out. In the third round I started to do so, and kept him in his corner. He was getting so much the worst ot it that Billv Madden rushed into the ring, and then Alf Lunt came and got in be tween us." Two private detectives theh mounted the stage and stopped the fight. As sure as I live 1 could have finished Daly in another round and the club gang knew it. That's the reason they stopped ns. Why. Daly inly hit me once and every newspaper repre sentative present was squared against mo but one. The truth is that before the fight Miller, the secretary of the club, told mo that he had 'squared' all the papers but one. The latter gave a truthful report of the contest audits account appears in Tim Dispatch. Let me tav that the Qnaker City club is a disgrace to sport. The articles of agreement between Daly and myself called for ten rounds, but as soon as I arrived in Philadelphia and the club gang saw I was in good condition, they re duced the number of rounds to six. They were afraid I wuld knock him nut in ten founds and it is a certainty that I would have knocked him easily in six round". If he baa not been getting the -worst of it tbey would not have stopped the fight. That is certain. "And after the fight was stopped the club managers, who are Daly's party, retired for an hour anda half and decided to make the affair a draw. I am ready at anytime to fight a man IiLe Daly, either tor a purse or a stake or both." McClelland stated that Daly was completely outfought from start to finish. , It has often been asked in this paper why such alleged clubs as the Quaker City Club should be allowed to operate. They are organi zations of the most questionable kind, their only object being to secure money by the most questionable flstic contests. The "club" gave farrell and Daly something like $500 between them, which means that the bnlk of the money went to those professional schemers who lire mostly by hoodwinking the public. BEGIHNIHG TO HUSTLE. The Allegheny Athletic Association Getting Down to Work for the Season. The membership of the Allegheny Athletic Association reached the 200 mark yesterday, and the clnb directors are now confident of great success, financial and otherwise. Tbo club badges were received yesterday, and they are very pretty. The Baseball Committee met yesterday morn ing and discussed matters relating to the pro posed team. It is intended to organize a team to compete in the A. A. U. championship games. There are numerous amateur players in and about Pittsburg, and with a little hust ling a really strong team could probably be gotten together. Numerous applications have been received from ladies who wish to join the tennis clun in connection with the Association. The directors of the latter intend to boom tennis for all it is worth, and work on the tennis courts will likely be commenced this week. The ground committee have been authorized to expend (300 on tennis courts, lockers, etc The membership fee will be increased to 20, exclusive of dues, when 250 members have been enrolled. Without doubt the association in tend to be up and doing, although the members may hare been a little slow in getting down to work. The organization is one with which all young men who take pleasnre in out-door exercise may safely and wisely identify them selves. HATCHED AGAIN. Ed. rteiily and Rube Collengo Sign Articles to, Wrestle at Catch Weight. Ed. Reilly and Reuben Collengc, accom panied by their backers and friends, met at this office last evening and after a lengthy talk the two first-named signed articles to wrestle another match on Monday, May 4. This time they are to wrestle at catch weight. At one stage of the proceedings It looked as if no match wonld be made. Tbo Collenge party wanted to wrestle within three weeks for $500 a side, and the Reilly we're not inclined to sign for that amount except the match take place in ten weeks. Reilly's representative further staled that a "gentleman wishful to back Reilly had not been heard from, but that if the match was made for 125') a side this gentleman would certainly make an outside berof 250. As a guarantee ot this Reilly's representative bet Collenge's backer 810 that the bet would be made within two weeks. After this assurance the articles were signed for the men to wrestle the best two in three falls for 1250 a side, the winner to take all the gate receipts. The contest will be governed by the -Police Gazelle rules, which provido for the continuation of the contest until It is On Mhed. The match bids fair to be an interest ing one, as the conditions are materially differ ent to the conditions of the late contest. FITZSIMMOKS AND HALL. The Champion's Manager in Town and Talks About a Probable Battle. Bob Fitzsimmons, the champion middle weight pugilist, will be in the city this evening or to-morrow morning. Harry Sellers, the manager of Fitz, is in the city, and during a conversation yesterday said: "Regarding the latest matter in which Fitz figures, namely, the proposed fight with the Australian, Jim Hall, of which there has been so much talk of late with no satisfactory re sults, the reason is that Hall and his back ers have failed to enme up with the required amount. Fitz's backers have deposited 2,500 with J. Harry Ballard as the preliminary for a bet outside of any prize. Fitz's backers are willing to go as high as 10,000 as a side issue, but the Hall men do not seem disposed to make anv positive arrangement. The Hall men want 5,000 to go to the loser, while Fitzsimmous thinks that 1,000 is enough for the loser, being merely enough to defray training expenses. If Hall is as sure of winning as he thinks he is this shonld more than suit him." HAD QUITE A HAEVEST. The L'ngllsh Bookmakers Made Lots of Money on the City and Subnrban. IBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.! London, April 1L The bookmakers, who have not generally had a good time this season, reaped a golden harvest on Wednesday, when Colonel"Nofth's horse. Nunthorperstarting at 25 to 1 against him.won the City and Snburban. The second and third horses were also rank outsiders, carrying little money. The stable bad not backed the horse with very great confidence, but North himself won a respectable sum. and Lord Randolph Churchill takes a small fortune from the book makers. The backers of the horse among the public, however, were very few. Dixon and Willis to Flsht. Boston, April 1L George Dixon's manager received a telegram yesterday fram the man agers of the Crib Club, of Troy. N. Y., offering a purse of $5,000 for a fight between Dixon and Willis, of Australia. A reply was sent to the effect that Dixon would accept the purse, and would be ready to fight In August. Dixonsays he wants a little rest before ho begins training again. Willis has not had much work since bis ar rival in this country, laying back for a big purse. It has come at last, and he will likely accept. Baldwin's Suit St. Loms. April 1L Mark E. Baldwin, pitcher of the Pittsburg League team, began a 120,000 damage suit m tbe Circuit Court yester day against Chris Yon der Ahe, l the Browns, whom he charges with malicious prosecution. The suit grows out of the arrest of Baldwin on March 5, upon an information taken out by Von der Ahe, charging him with conspiracy with O'Neil and others to bribe Charles F. King to abandon the Browns and join the League team. Baldwin alleges that the arrest was without probable cause and made with malicious intentions. Some Very rialn Advice. The Von der Ahe outrage upon Mark Bald win has been thrown ont of court. Now, if the Pittsburg club officials donotbaclc Baldwin in making Von der Ahe pa for bis little piece of fun, tbey do not deserve the patronage of Pittsburg peoDle. And we beg leave to suggest that the United States Court is the proper place for an action of that kinit. The Sporting Timet does not approve of Baldwin's methods, but the attempt to disgrace him and his club bv dragging him into the criminal courts was a thrust at the life of the natibnal came and should be punished if there be law to punish false arrest and imprisonment. We sav this without reference to its application. Von der Ahe is no better and no worse in such a rolo than any other baseball magnate, be he League or Association official. Sporting Times.
