That tact was demonstrated quite plainly at Eipotition Pjikyesterdaywhcn the local thumpers, that is, baseball thumper?, Cot their eye on Ad. Gumbert and the ball he pitched. Oh, my! but base hall is funny, and the players whom our own J. Palmer has, by an unique system of dipomatic intrigue, gotten to gether, had lots of fun at the expense of our youthful fel- PVtI WA citizen, Mr. IPSSn'' llBslI Gumbert.vesterdav, mm i'S ,Adwf in'ita,.VJe hadn't been there would not probably hare been so much fun. "Well, the boys scored their first -victory and scored it by banging the ball all over the park. When 21 hits are made with a total of S3 bases, it in eils no detailed argument to show that the bill was flying about beyond the reach of the fielders." The his: hitters let themselves loose for once, and old "Lino-'cra-out" Brown lrgZand Tred Carroll eacli made a homo run run amid the cannonading. And Maul Was Thnmped. Bnt while Gumbert was a good thin;; for the local fellovis Albert Maul was almost a "cinch' for Anson and his team. Albert was touched ud in a fcay that would nnder ordinary circum stances male local partisans feel very tired, in deed. His pitching did no", by any means win the came, and he was so much ot a mark that his colleagues at stages must have had very clear glimpses of their defeat this week. He was well supported, and that combined by the heavj- slugging of his team saved the day. That Anson has a good team there is no doubt. It he had not the local players might have been scoring yet considering the heavy bluing that was going on. Amid all the slug ging; aud it was sluggir.::, Anson's players feliled admirably, and at one stage of the game, and that a very late stage, looUed like wnniug. They fought like demons under such conditions Uist might have disheartened many leamf. The contest was fire from any scenes between the players and the umpire. It seemed as if there nasa better understanding; between parties esterday. and it is lu tie hoped that it will continue. There was a little exchange of words between Maul and Towers, but it did not amount to much, ,lt may be stated that Berccr did very well, indeed. lie sprained his anUle in the eighth liming and retired. Fields taking his place. They scored First. The visitors were first to score, and they tal lied in the second inning. Clill Carroll was hit br a pitched ball and went to first. Then an error by Iherbauer allowed Pfeffer to reach firt. and a sacrifice hit sent the runners to third and second. Kittridge's single scored Carroll and Pfeffer was retired at third. Foster retiring the side. After Ityan was out In the third Conney made a single and scored on an ennr bv Iteilly, a single by Dahlen and An son's sacrifice. In the sixth inning Dahlen led oft with a ingle over third base aud scored on Anson's, two-bagger tn loft field. Foster began the vistors' half of the seventh Inning and was out for coming in contact with the ball after he had bunted n In front of him. Kan came next and thumped out a double to left and scored on ihe triple of that little slug ger, Cooney. The latter scorcd'on the throw-in ol a foul fly by Dahlen to left. In the eighth, after Frederick Pfeffer baa been retired, Gum bert and Klttridge each made singles, and on a fumble by Miller and another two-bagger Ly Itvau tbc both crossed the plate. Two singles by Gumbert and Kittr:d;e and a fumblo by Bicrbaucr netted the visitors their last run. Some Great Slugging. The local players began to pile their winning score up in tbo third inning. Maul made a single, went to second on a passed ball and scored on Miller's single to center. Ilecklcy and Carroll both flew out. and Browning, after making a safe hit. w.is nabbed trying to steal second. In the fourth iuulng Bierbaner com menced with a doable to left, and scored on Hanlon's single. After two men were out In the sixth Iteilly banged out a triple to left, and scored on Maul's single to right field. Fred Carroll opened the seventh inning, and cracked out a tr.ple heioml the reach of thti fleet-footed Foster. Pete Browning followed with a single, Carroll scoring: and a acrifice by Bicrbauerandasinglcby Ilaulon sent Brown ing home. But the eighth was a lively inning. After Maul had struck aud Miller bad kocked a fly into Foster's hands. Beckley made a single to lelt. Fred Carroll next loomed up. and wiped tiat past injuries by thumping out a homo run toward the right center fence. This was, in deed, joyful to the crowd. Old Kentucky was mil heard from, and lit owning swlprd nut an other home run to left field. This was certainly cloriouf. and the crowd cheered, and Gumbert looked sad. Bierbauer went out at first, and that ended the inning. In the last inning Han Ion commenced with a double to center, got to third on a wild pitch and scored on Reilli's single to left field.

The resignation of the Oakland clnb was tendered, owing to tbe sickne-s of Manager Hawley. Application to fill the vicaucy will bo received by Secretary Wells. It is likely that the Carnegies or the Tim e A's will be admitted. A lo lg wrangle about tbe schedule took plate, aud it was decided to make a new one. The dates for the holidays were fixed as fol lows: May SO, McKcesport at Acme's gronnds, Oakl ind's substitute at Mansfield, Bridgeville at East End. July 4, Bridgeville at Mansfield, Oakland at McKeesport, Acmes at East End. TENHY OUT OF IT. The Famous Race Horse Breaks Down and Goes Out of Training. Newt York, April 2L Tenny, tho speedy son of Rayon d'Or and Belle of Maywood, is again in trouble with the leg from which be suffered before, and in consequence has been put out of training. He was the favorite for both tlie"" Brooklyn handicap and the still greater Suburban, the rich spring events in the East, and as he was quite heavily backed in tbe wiuter hooks for both events, a lot of money has been lost on him, v lie will not start in either, if, indeed, he ever appears on tbe track apraiu. The grand performances of the horse last year made him famous wherever interest is taken in HThe Sport ot Kings," and many had hoped to see him do even better the present season. Perhaps tbe gallant "Little Swayback" may recover from tbe injury from which he is now suffering, and pnt more money in the purse ot his clever owner. D. H Pulsifer. and the many staunch and loyal followers of the colt, but the chances at present are all against it. The loss is a heavy one to Pulsifer. but should Tenny prove unable to again face tbe flag be has certainlv paid for himself over and over again, and his services iu tbe stud will be in gieat demand.

The Management of the Grounds Have De cided to Make Great Improvements. Prikcetos, N. J April 24. The manage ment f the athletic grounds to-day decided to widen tho entire athletic track three feet. The 220-yards' distance will be widened six feet. This change became. an evident necessity, so large are the entries for the May 9 games, in order to prevent fouling and accidents. This change will bo most important to bicycle con testants as it will do away with one sharp corner opposite the grand stand. Jack Mc Master has a rather poor opinion of tho ability of some who bad charge of making the track for that kind of work. He will begin work on the track to-morrow with a large forca in order to have It in good shape for the games. At a meeting of tlie Universitv. Athletic Committee, held last night, the following im portant changes in the athletic constitution were proposed and recommended for submis sion to the college at large for ratification: 1 hat the Graduate Advisory Committee, con sisting of five members, and the Executive Committee, consisting of the Presidents and Treasurers of the football, baseball and track athletic associations, unite and form what shall bs known as the University Athletic As sociation, of which tbe Chairman of the Grad uate Advisory Committee shall be President. The duty of the association will bo to take charge of the university athletic funds and de termine other matters which affect the several associations alike. Three meetings must be held each year. Of this association there shall be a Flnanco Committee, consisting of three members of tho Graduato Advisory Commit tee and tlie Presidents of the football, baseball and track athletic associations. It shall be tbe duty of this committee to invest for 4 lie best interests of tbe college athletics all money paid to them bv tho Treasurers of the-vanous associations. Tills will not be tbe entire sums each received, but the surplus after each Treasurer has met the liabilities of. his asso ciation and reserved 500 to start the next sea son's athletic. The committee will have power to elect ona graduate member as Treasurer, who shall pro ceed in the disposal of funds only by direction of this committee. Memphis Races.

Accept an Invitation From Former Foes. MISEKS WHO DON'T WANT TO STRIKE rsrrciAL telegram to the pisrATcn.j Wheeling, April 24. L C. White, of the Chair of Geology of the State Univer sity, arrived home from Washington with an oiler from the National Geological Sur vey tq bear a portion of the expense ol sink ing the well on Boggs run to the depth of one mile. It has already been sunk to the depth of 4,100 feet, and tbe only deeper well is 4,000 feet. To reach the depth of a mile it will be necessary to sink the well 180 feet deeper, which would then make it by far the deepest in the world. In order to do this work at the present .price of drilling $3 peHoot it will take ?3,540, and it is thought this can now be raised without any trouble. It is hardly thought likely other gas or oil veins will be struck, but it is deemed best to sink the well as deep as science desires. An accurate record will be kept of the nodoubt many unknown strata which the drill will pass through, and these will he placed in crystal cases of the exact proportion of thickness of the strata. These glass tubes will he taken to Chicago for exhibition at the World's fair, and will be afterward taken to Washington, where a close record will also be kept ol the deepest well in the world, tbe information to be used for the bene fit of all nations. When tbe well is down below any other, records will be kept by a self-registering ther mometer of the varying degrees of beat, and in addition minute observations will be made of a magnetic nature. Tbe Government officers will attend the drilling of the well in order to take these observations. Tbe casing will not be pulled when the well has reached A depth of a mile, but the well will be left intact, so that at any time an appropriation can be made and the well sunk as far as human ingenuity and mech anism can put it. It is thought some strange facts will bo brought nut in feeard to the very lower formations of the earth, and, as drilling on that particular tiact is rather o.tsy, it is thought no trouble will be experienced in drill ing as far as desired.
