Macojt, April 17. The Pittsburg ana
Cleveland ball clubs played their second
and last game here to-day. The contest, if
such it can be called, was a wretched affair.
The Fittsburgcrs were not in it and they
didn't seem to care. Smith and Baldwin
were the pitchers, and the former was a
mark for the Clevclanders.
Bierbaur. for Pittsburg, played a great
tame, and lteilly only did moderate. The
Cleveland players hit the ball terrifically.
Both teams ieft this evening for Atlanta,
where they play to-morrow. Score:

Pitcher King has not arrived yet, and there

THE SHEFFIELD" HANDICAP.
Pendragon Has a Few Words to Say Re
garding the Easter Event.
Referring to the late Easter sprint handicap
at Sheffield, "Penaragon" says:
"None of this' wheol-wlthin-wheel business
happened on Monday or Tuesday last; and,
taken all through, matters were extremely
placid. In his second round Kerr won without
being in any way extended; and though toward
the close of proceedings a commission was
thrown into the market to back Tattersall, of
CUtheroe, who had to give Kerr a couple of
yards, the latter startec a hot favorite at 3 to 1
on. Some backers managed to lay 5 to 2 on
him; but they were lucky, they were. The
handicap was nominally of 104 yards, and Kerr
had S7H yards start; consequently ho had to
run llo yards. The path was in excellent
condition, and a fairly good wind blew at the
men's backs; yet though Kerr was pressed by
Tattersall the whole ot the way. he did not suc
ceed in doing better than 11 4-5 seconds, which
is as near quarter second as it is evens. Of
course, it may turn out that Kerr hau so much
in hand that he was not at all afraid of Tatter
sall, and could afford to let him draw up, with
the certainty of being able to go away again
when wanted. Time, and tho next handicap
for which Kerr is backed, will alone inform us
whether or not this is so. If Kerr is a real good
one, then we may reckon nim no end fortunate
tn being able to win a big handicap on so poor
a display; if he is no better than the limo test
makes him, we must think his people must
have known something, or they never would
have put the pot on as they did and dare all
rivalry. Afrland of mine who was present tells
me that 11 4-5 seconds was quite as
good as Kerr in the final as the
race was rnn, but that he fancies Kerr was
having larks with the second man. -For in
stance,' says my informanr, "Kerr, though he
won anyhow in the second ruund, seemed to
run quite as bard then as he did in the final
with Tattersall; yet tne time in the second
round was a good lour yards slower.' So it
may be that Kerr can improve on his shows at
will, provided there is any necessity for so
doing. Kerr Is by no means a youngster, being
not far short of SO: he was formerly an amateur
as that w ord is uuderstood over the border, and
is of sturdy build, stands 5 feet 8K inches high,
and in condition weighs 12 stone 7 pounds w ith
his clothes on. A noticeable feature of tho
final heat was that, as the referee is Tatter
sail's father-in-law, he thought It best, in case
the finish was close, not to act; and so ho got
him an efficient substitute. Which makes It
look as if in Sheffield now they, profiting by
some lessons that have gone before, tbiukit
better not to be led into undue temptation."
THE A. A. TJ. LEAGUE.
Matters Becoming Exceedingly Interesting
Among the Amateur Unseball Clubs.
New York. April 17. The Amateur Athletic
Union baseball situation is getting warm. The
entries close with Secretary Sullivan ro-day,
and two weeks later the battle will begin all
along the line. Tho champion Detroit Athletic
Club team has already entered, and will doubt
less be in the thickest of the fight. There is at
present a little unpleasantness in Detroit.
"Buff" Ducharmc, a brother of Fred. Dn
cbarmo, the champion hurdler, is a bone of
contention between the Detroit A. C. and
Michigan A. A. Ducharme is a charter mem
ber of the Detroit A. C, but since the organi
zation of the Michigan A. A. he has affiliated
with that clnb. Last season be played in the
Western series with the Michigans, but helped
out the Detroit A. C. team In games for the
championship with the New Jersey A. C. team.
Ducharme is one of the finest amateur fir.-t
basemen in the conntry, and his work In the
games here last fall was much admired by local
cranks. The trouble in Detroit Is that both
teams want Ducharme to guard first base for
them. He naturally would prefer to play with
the champions, and has consented to do so.
Now the Michigans are pouting, and declare
they won't play at all unless Buff "Is their
first baseman. Fred Stearns will bring his
diplomacy to bear, and It is altogether likely
the matter will be patched up.
Secretary Sullivan yesterday received a tele
gram from R. W. Wright, Secretary of the
Cleveland Athletic Clnb, announcing that lie
had mailed tbe entries of the three clubs from
the Forest City. Mr. Sullivan also received a
despatch from Howard Perry, stating that the
capital's three entries were on the way. Mr.
Perry has been hustling In the interest of ama
teur ball at Washington. Ho has been con
ducting an amateur series between six elubs
there, and has got the excitoment up to fever
heat.

EC0BES THE DWTEES.
Inspector Byrnes Says a Few Plain Things
About the Horsemen.
New Yoke, April 17. Inspector Byrne
evinced no desire to withdraw any of the state
ments credited to him by the newspapers in
relation to the Dwyer Bros, when a reporter
saw him to-day. "This pool selling busifTess on
alleged races which are only run to deceive the
public is rapidly becoming a confounded
nuisance," said tbe Inspector, 'and I have de
termined to take advantage of every available
means to suppress it.
"In reference to my statements reflecting
upon tbe Dwyers, I reiterate them now. and!
say more, that these men are no more entitled
to respect or consideration than any other
horsemen who pose as patrons of sneh institu
tions as the Uuttenberg race track. Plenty of
evidence can be obtained to prove that they are
uothing less than racing sharps, ready to put
up any kind of a job that will serve to. enrich
them at tbe expense of a too confiding public.
They run strings of horses; not in the Interest
of promoting honest sport, but rather to
swindle the people whqbet money. There is
not a prominent poolroom keeper Jn this city
who has not been associated with the famous
or infamous brothers In jobs which enabled
them to filch money from trusting bettors. ,1
still contend that under the' provisions of the
Ives pool bill betting on races' anywhere except
on the race track is illegal, and aided by the
District Attorney I intend to"have every pool
seller at tbe bar to plead to indictments under
the provisions of the Ives law."
CLAUSE IS SILENT.
The Supposed Backer of Fltzsimmons Has
Nothing to tgay About a Battle
There were no new developments in the
Smith and Fltzsimmons matter yesterday. Mr.
Clarke, tbe alleged backer of Fltzsimmons,
couldn't be heard from, and the Smith party
claim that Fitzsimmons is going up and down
the country making a huge bluff. John Q,uinn
called at this office last evening and said:
"I cannot get a word from this man Clarke,
who is supposed to be the backer of Fitzsim
mons. Smith means to claim tho title, and he
is ready to fight either Fitzsimmons, Hall or
anybody else at middle weight. When Fitz
simmons talks about fighting for nothing less
than 512,000 he simply shows that he does not
want to hght at all. We will give him his own
time, in fact, he can have all of his own way."
Winners at Memphis.
Memphis, April 17. The favorites had it all

A Man for Gibbons.
London7 April 17. Austin Gibbons, the
American pugilist, who recently arrived here
and issued a challenge to fight any of the 9 stone
10 pound pugilists, has not bad long to wait,for(
an engagement, Jem verrali, wuo recently
defeated Sammy Blakelock, well known in
America, agreed to fight the American.' The
pugilists and their backers met at the Sporting
Life office to-day and signed articles to fight at
9 stone S pounds, tbe championship of the
world, and a purse of 225, offered by the Pel
ican Club.
Tbe American's only stipulation was that the
battle should be fought with gloves like Rich
ard K. Fox has sent to Lord Lonsdale. The
fight Is to be decided on June 10, and the re
sult, owing to its being an international affair,
promises to create as much interest as the
Nunc Wallace and Dixon contest. Gibbons
has been well received here, and made a host
of friends. Verrali is a tough customer, and
the fight will be a desperate one.

BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION SET F0KTH
Kansas City, April 17. At the Com
mercial Congress this morning the subject,
"Transportation and Improvement ofWater
ways, Lakes, Gulfs and-the Pacific Ports,"
was taken up. S. A. Thompson, Secretary
of the Commercial Club of Duluth, advo
cated the improvement of waterways as
affording the cheapest transportation.
Colonel T. C. Catchings, of Mississippi,
argued that an increase in water traffic,
however great, would not decrease railroad
business, but would rather increase it.
Hon. J. M. Murphy, of Iowa, .spoke on
the Hennepin Canal. His life had one
purpose and his heart one hope, and that,
was the construction of the Hennepin
Canal. He explained iu a long speech the
benefits to accrue from the construction of
the canal, and he had no doubt that the
Government would construct it if the Gov
ernment could be brought to a realizing
sense of the canal's importance.
The Irrigation Problem.
Colonel A. C.-JTisk, of Denver, delivered
an address on irrigation. He said 900,000,
000 of people were kept alive on food raised
on irrigated land in Spain, China, Egypt,
Russia, India and the United States, yet the
subject of irrigation, although carried on
successfully 'for hundreds of years, was but
little understood. In the trans-Mississippi
country enough land was allowed to go to
waste that was susceptible of cultivation to
support whole nations of people. The work.
of irrigation had already been begun by the
United States. Major Powell estimated
that there were 1,000,000 square miles of
arid lands in the Western country that
could be made productive by irrigation. At
the minimum price of public lands, $1 25
per acre, this land had a value of $600,000.-
000. At $30 per acre, a moderate estimate
of its value when irrigated, it would be
worth $19,200,000,000.
Government Should Do the Work.
The Government had done very little for
the great "West, Upon other public im
provements the Government had emended
more than (500,000,000. It had expended
practically nothing for irrigation. With
out agriculture the arid lands would never
be settled, and there would be no people to
provide irrigation. The Government
should start the work.
Mr. Wickliffe said he would treat his sub
ject, "Immigration and Settlement of Va
cant Iiands," from the text "America for
Americans." He spoke against unrestricted
immigration, and cited the New Orleans
affair as a case in point.
The majority report of the Committee on
Resolutions favors the adoption bv Congress
of a law authorizing free, unlimited coinage
of silver, and the issuance of a sufficient
amount of legal tender notes to be redeema
ble in both gold and silver to restore the
equilibrium between money and all other
products; favors a tariff for revenue only,
and urges Congress to enact laws to place
the tariff upon a purely revenue basis at as
early a date as practicable; declares that the
inter-State commerce of the country should
be controlled by the General Government;
favors the improvement of the Mississippi
river;
The Construction of the Hennepin Canal
and other waterways by the Government;
the enactment of national bankrupt laws;
tbe suppression of trusts and combines; an
amendment of the immigration laws; the
restoration of railroad land grants to the
public domain, and the opening of tbe sur
plus lands to settlement: the reclamation of
arid lands; the enactment of laws to prevent

The minority report favors the free, un
limited coinage of American gold and sil
ver ou a ratio established by an interna
tional money'convention, which shall make
the silver and gold of equal purchasing
power, and favors a tariff for incidental
protection.
The free coinage and tariff resolutions of
both the majority and minority report were
received with applause. The one relative to
immigration was loudly applauded, and the
resolution which hailed with delight the
burial of all animosities between the Korth
and tbe South was greeted with great ap
plause, and upon motion of Major "Warner,
of Missouri, wasrgiven three hearty cheers.
The majority report further recommends
a system of canals and a slackwater naviga
tion to connect tbe water of the Tennessee
with the Gulf of Mexico, and also a ship
canal from the headwaters ot the Ohio to
Lake Erie, and a ship canal Irom the head
of Lake Superior to the Mississippi river.
