Too much of n good thing.
There is no mistake about the meaning of
the old adage. Too
much of anything.no

' spoils au tne luni
There was too much
victory in yesterday's
ball game at Exposi
tion Park for the local
team. From the start
the Jonahs from Phila
delphia -were so badly
aeft" that almost
j"'"a, every member of the
ff ) audience of 4,000 peoplo
fir jti TtAwAn 4- vria m 41i a
J M endoftheproceedings.
The charm ol the
hoodoos was broken
by a citizen specially engaged for the occa
sion and it -was very badly broken at that
There is nothing so effective in knocking out
tnese Jonah influences in a ball game as
banging the ball about tho field.
They Banged Out the Ball.
That's just what the homo players did yes
terday and Harry Wright's Philadelphia
gang had a very disconsolate time of it from
start to finish. There is nothing meant to
tiurt the veteran's feelings -when it is said
that -when everything is right the Philadel
phia team ought not to win one game in ten
here; that is Judging from tho -work of
Friday and yesterday. The venerable hustler
always has a few active and brilliant young
fellows with him; but this time they are
lust winning thqir spurs; or, at least,
Just trying to -Bin them, while the local
team is composed of a number of
very tough old nuts; tough indeed
ncrari- nt mr st.i"e when thev are anv-
thinsr like thoroughly in line. Citizens like
Mr. Kingarcnotal-navs mark? in the box;
noraic such blackBinith-armed gentlemen
like Becklev, Browning, Carroll and others
sent up to the plate for nothing. "When they
let themselves loose, and they are always
liable to do it, there is always trouble in the
opposing camp. Thev tried their hand on
Mr. Esper yesterday, lie had quite a satis
factorv record as a pitcher up to yesterday
mommg, but when he fell among the Philis
tines esterdav afternoon his glory was con
siderably bedimmed before they were
through'with him.
At no stage of the game wore matters ex
citing, because in the second inning the
home took a lead and a good one, an'l they
increased it as they went along. Esper, who
bvtho wav is a good looking youth, who
pitches with his left hand, could not fool
the home sluggers enough, and as a result at
the end of six innings there were 15 hits re
corded against him, and then he was taken
from the arena. Another young man named
Shult z, v, ho has earned quite a name among
ihe Eastern amateurs, replaced Esper.
Shultz Tried His Hand.
Shultz pitches very wildly, but he has con
siderable speed. Ho was only on deck threa
Innings, but only one hit n as made off his
delivery. If Sir. Shultz shows up agafn
here he may have reason to remember it.
Both of the visiting pitchers were well sup
ported. When Esper retired, Brown left
first base and went Dehind the bat, Clements
taking Brown's place. They are both good
catchers, but they had little satisfaction yes
terdav in doing brilliant woi k.
EKIng pitched a very good game; not one of
his best by any means. But he pitched a
winning argument; irom me ursi. jiyers
was out adorned in any amount of batting
clothes. Hebaugedout four hits andivas
only four times at bat. Two of them were
doubles and one a three-bagger. So farwere
the local team ahead, and consequently the
home partisans were so generous that they
all desired Slvers to make a home run tho
last time he appeared at bat. He didn't do
that, but lie knocked out a double. Two of
ilvcrs' hits were ot the very luckiest kind,
a "they ere l eally what is known as "scratca
hits." But they counted. King was tolera
blv well supported, although Pete Browninr
managed to make a coupli of muffj that in a
close game Mould hae caused heaps of
trouble.
When our Mr. Reillv stepped np to the
plate he was presented with a handsome
basket of flowers and, contrary to the cus
tom, he banged out a lurui response. Hurst
umpiied a very good game.
They Started to Score.
In the second Inning the homo team started
to score Keilly appearcdandaftcracknowl
edging his basket of flow ers got to work and
knocked out a single (o right field. He stole
second and King got his base on balls. Then
Miller cracked out a single to center and
Keilly scored an earned run. Bcckley made
a Ions hit to middle and King and Miller
scoied. In the n.ext inning Beckley made a
lumthitbulwas forced out at second by
Browning's grounder to Allcu. Bierbauer
made a single to middle, sending Ihowning'
. to second. Pete stole third and Bierbauer
stole second. They both scored on Hanlon'a
hit to right for u. base.
And the sixth inning came. Beckley
started it off and was hit by a pitched balL
Ho stole second and Browning sent him
home on a three-bagger to left field. Pete
scored on a wild tin o w by Delehanty. Car
roll got his base on balls and Bierbauer flew
out to left. Then llanlon made a double to
left and Carroll scored. llanlon stole third,
but was put out at the plate on Muck's
grounder to Allen, llcilly got his base on
balls and King made a single. Miller fol
lowed with a double, and as a result of the
whole six runs were scored. Carroll's single,
a steal of second, a steal of third and Han
Ion's sacrifice earned the fourteenth run.
The visitors loomed up a little in the third
inning and scored tw o runs on Browning's
muff of Esper's fly, Hamilton's single and
singles by Shindle and Delehanty. Myers'
three-bagger and Brown's sacrifice scored
another ui the sixth, and doubles by Myers
and Clements, a sacrilico and an error by
3Iiller scored two more. The score:

Baseball Notes.
Well, we knocked that Jonah out of sight yes
terday. The rumor is extant that Boston win release
Stovey. ,
The boys are doing quite weU If they can only
keep it up.
ItIs now stated that Elmer Forbes has joined the
Kansas City club.
Hadboubn has done some great pitching since his
disastrous opening game.
Pitcher Tcombit. at one time with the New
Yorks, has been released by Rochester.
HALLMAX is continuing to make an excellent
shon lng on second base for the Athletics.
O. P. Caylor. the brilliant baseball writer and
editor of the Sporting Tima. Is seriously 111.
JOIIK nEXEY. released by "New Haven, has
brought suit for 150 alleged back salary due him.
Jonx Irwin will finish the season with the Bos
ton Association club, replacing either Joyce or
Radford.
Taylor is sick and cannot play. The Louisville
clubs badlv needs his headwork to direct matters
on the field.
Pete Bkowxixg made two very simple errors
yesterday, but we had lots to spare and they didn' t
much matter;
There Is said to be dissension among the players
of the Cincinnati League team. A few victories
win fix things all right.
Latham Is about the only hard worker that the
Cincinnati League club seems to possess, although
strong men are
re In the club.
Paul Hixes' work in the field for Washington Is
said to he above anything he has done In several
years. His hitting is only fair.
The man who wagered 85 that Columbus would
win eight of the 16 games on the Eastern trip has
been sent to an Insane asylum.
Chris Von deb Aiie -h cpt when he heard of Von
Moltke's death. Chris says the German General
was the only German who had won as much fame
as himself. '
Jeeby Desst Is nractldntr everv dav at the.
Polo Grounds, and his good right arm is coming
around in fine Shane.
He can

Manager Mctbue telegraphed yesterday for
Clarke to join the team. He left for Cleveland last
last night. His split thumb Is not fully healed yet.
and It would be poor policy to play him at present.
Jcsr think of this way of running bases: The New
Yorks, In the last Pittsburg game, made three
triples, a double, and got a base on balls in one
Inning, and jet scored but two Tuns. Xew Tork
Etttu j
THE reports sent out from Pittsburg that Glass
cock played "dirty" bail are vigorously denied bv
the J ew York Dlavers. Thev sav that Reillv was
the one who attempted work not at all to his credit,
and that Glasscock simply defended himself, as
anyone. would have done under the circumstances.
The crowd cheered, when Umpire Hurst "caUed
down" Rellly. Sea Tork Sun.
DEXXY Is practicing hard while the team is away.
He Is in good condition, and It Is hoped that he wlU
he placed on third base when the team returns.
When in condition, there Is no better third base
man In the country than he. His trouble has been
his inability to line the ball across to first base.
There Is no doubt but that Bassett is playing well
enough to remain on third base, but If Deuny Is
really in first-class trim he should have another
opportunity to remove the dark cloud that en
veloped his work last season and the fore part of
this season. ..Veto York Sun.

The Fashionable Sport Getting Bap
idly Into Popular Favor.
PEOGBAMME FOR THIS SEASON.
Championship Contests to Be Played on the
local Grounds
GENEBAI SPOBTING NEWS OF THE DAY
The outlook for a very successful season of
lawn tennis in Pittsburg and vicinity is very
favorablo and the prospoets are that the,
boom which the game recelvecTlast year on
account of the lack of interest in baseball
will becontinued this year. Each succeed
ing year finds a large number of new re
cruits added to the lawn tennis ranks, and,
notwithstanding the popular prejudice
against it on account of its lack of rough
ness and the absence of hoodlumlsm, the
game still continues its wonderful growth. -The
"Pittsburg Terinis Club, at Bellefleld,
which is the pioneer in the lawn tennis
boom in this vicinity, with the opening of
the season of 1891 now enters upon the fourth
year of its existence. It has a membership of
150, and the prospects are that this number
will be largely increased dnring the comhtg
season. Tho club has ten of the finest clay
courts In the country, as the" soil is of that
peculiar quality which rolls very hard and
neither cakes in wet weather nor gets very
dusty in dry. The accommodations for mem
bers in the way of dressing rooms, etc., are
excellent, and the surroundings are beauti
ful nnd romantic The grounds are very ac
cessible and can be reached in IS minutes
from the city either by the Pennsylvania
Railroad to Ben Venue station or the Fifth
avenue cable cars. ' After the Duquesne
Traction Company got their cars Btarted
they will be the best means of reaching the
ground, as they will run within a few hun
dred feet of it.
Since last season the five leading clnbsof
this vicinity, or rather of Western Pennsyl
vania, namely, the Altoona Cricket, the
Mansfield Tennis, the Pittsburg Cricket, the
Pittsburg Tennis and tha Sewickley Athletic
were admitted into tho "United States Lawn
Tennis Association, u.-.der the title of the
"Western Pennsylvania Association." Tho
National Association decided that the single
championship of the Western Pennsylvania
Association should be played for on the
grounds of the "Pittsburg Tennis Club, and
the doubles on the grounds of the Altoona
Cricket Club, therefore.
The Single Championship '
will be 'decided dnring the annual tourna
ment, to be held at Pittsburg on July 15, 16,
17 and 18, and the winner will be awarded I
the beautiful challenge cup presented to the
club by Mr. J. C. Grogan. The cup was won
inlS89 by Mr. Marshall Cristy, of the Se
wickley Club, and in 1S90 by Mr. Bl W. B.
Moorhead, of the Pittsburg Tennis Club.
The conditions attached to the holding of
this cup are that it shall be competed for an
nually in an open tournamont, and if the
same party wins it three times in succession
he becomes the owner of the cup.
Mr, Moorhead, the present holder, Is
a strong favorite for the coming
year, as he is attending college
at Tale and has every opportunity to get in
good playing form, and his friends have
strong hopes that he will become
the ultimate nossessor of the Grosran tronhy.
The double championship will be decided
the last week in August on the grounds of
the Altoooa Cricket Club. This s always a
very enjoyable occasion, as -the members of
the Altoona club have had long experience
in arranging tournaments, and this occasion
is always a gathering of all the
tennis players in the State. Philadel-
Bhia, Harrlsburg, Lagcaster, Huntingdon,
hambersburg, beside all the smaller towns
send at least three or four representatives.
Last year the tournament was won by
Messrs. Hoops and Lee, of the Belmont
Cricket Club, Philadelphia. The Eastern
men have won the championship for several
years, in fact, every since the tournament
was inaugurated, as their standard of play
seems to be higher, but this year some of tho
Western clubs ore going to make a strong
effort to bring that honor to Pittsburg. .The
tournament usually lasts four days and it is
bronghto a fitting finale by a grand b.op at
the Logan House, which Proprietor Dunham
always gives to his guests on this occasion. -f
In addition to those larger clubs a great
many smaller organizations have sprung np
in this vicinity during this spring. The ten
nis fever has struck Latrobe very hard and
their club, which was just organized last
year, has about 70 members, about one-third
of which are ladies. They have six excellent
claycourts and asmall clubhouse, and every
pleasant evening the grounds are crowded
with nlavers and spectators. AI Pratt, the
local sporting goods dealer, has been kept
very busy supplying them with outfits and
has enough orders in to keep him busy for
some time.
Greensburg Has Also Organized
i.
a .crab, although it is not near so promising
a one' as the Latrobe one, and a series of
interchange games between the best players
of the two clubs is already being talked of.
Irwin and Braddock have .also fallen into
line, and with a little work tho Lawn Tennis
Association of Western Pennsylvania would
become quite a large affair.
The Sewickley club opened their courts to
their club members on Saturday, May 2, and
the game promises to be even more popular
than ever in that lovely valley, which has
been one of the best places far tennis in
this vicinity for the past ten years.
Emsworth now has two clubs. Mr. William
Lang, the promising young real estate man,
was the enterprising individual who organ
ized the second one, and he is using every
effort to make his venture a success, and the
probability is that he will have the most
popular club in Emsworth by the end of this
season. He proposes to give an open tour
nament the first week in August.
The Superior Athletic Club will have their
courts in good condition, and tennis promises
to be more popular than ever with them
also, since they haven't any baseball club.
The Allegheny Athlectic Association, who
have the use of Exposition Park when the
League club is not using it, intend to make
tennis quite'a feature of their club, and
havo made arrangements to lay out six
courts behind the left field bleachers. Their
tennis committee have been -very active
during the past week, and hope to have
their courts In shape by next Saturday.
They have some excellent players in their
association, and will probably send repre
sentatives to all of tho lOcal tournaments
and will send a team to the Altoona tourna
ment. The East End Gymnastic Club have also
arranged to lay out half a dozen courts on
their new grounds, formerly Liberty Ball
Park, and, as they have about five acres of
very level ground, they will no doubt have
some excellent courts. These courts are
principally for the lady members of the
Gyranasium.who have the use of the grounds
also. When the Duqnesno Traction Com
pany gets started these courts will be very
popular, as the cars pass right by the
grounds. The gymnasium has some very
good tennis players among its 400 members,
and they are also going to be represented at
the various tournaments. Altogether the
outlook of local tennis 13 a very bright one,
and if the weather is favorable the swish of
the raquet will be heard on all sides.

CLOSED W THE' COLD.
Chilly "Wind-Up of the Successful
May Music Festival of 1891.
MELODY M)ER DLFFICDLTES.
The Lust Concerts E-jnal to the Standard of
Their Predecessors.
POPDLAB AND HIGHER GRADE MUSIC
The May Music Festival of 1391 lost its final
cadence in the"c61dwave. That creeping
chilliness that hung threateningly Just over
the heads of the first two audiences, and
then seemed to be disappearing, settled
down to the floor last night, enfolding per
formers and listeners alike in its unwelcome
embrace. The fact is pertinent because of
its effect upon the performance, which
constitutes the proper subject of
review. Mr. Guille had a cold
evidently so bad as to Justify the
request made for an indulgent reception of
his brave efforts at singing, and most mem
bers of tho stage force were similarly affect
ed to a greater or less degree.
The audience, one of the largest of the
week in its total numbers (though the boxes
and parquet were less full than on the pre
vious evening), seemed to accept the situa
tion with the utmost good humor. So did,
the performers; indeed, there was rather too
much good humor and nonchalence at times
upon the stage.especially during the perform
ance of the intentionally sacred work at the
close. .The situation was such that no one
could Have objected to the decision to ter
minate the "Stabat Mater" with the In
flammalus. thongji it suppressed the most
nearly devotional strains of the whole work
occurring in the unaccompanied quartet,
Quando corpus as well as that brilliant fugal
finale, the Amen chorus.
A Presentation to Carl Better.
The general good humor was largely en
hanced by the unexpected incident of the,
presentation to, Mr. Better, Just after the in
termission, of an exceedingly handsome
diamond stud. Mr. Percy F. Smith, on be
half of the subscribing friends, spoke
the graceful words that acknowledged the
musical community's deep indebtedness to
the zeal and public spirit shown by Mr. Bet
ter in organizing mis ana iormer lesnvais.
The whole thing took Mr. Better completely
by surprise; after much applause and calling
of his name, he made a brief response that
was the more eloquent in feeling through its
broken, informal utterance.
The evening's programme opened with
Goldmark's .still new "Prometheus" over
ture, which needed no title or other hint of
a "programme" to give significance to its
dramatically powerful portrayal of the over
burdened heart, alternating between fierce,
anguished outcries, pathetic moanings
and the gentle expression, of sor
rowful resignation. It was most carefully
and vividly -performed nnder Mr. .SeidTs
magic wand. Liszt's second Hungarian
Rhapsody, in its orchestral garb, received a
startlingiy effective interpretation; the
blood counts for much in this national
music, and Mr. SeidTs inborn sympathy with
it was made clearly apparent in the latter
portion, where he almost ran away with
everything. It was not unnatural that so
exciting a performance, and one in which
.the conductor's own personality was so prom
inent, gained him the moat enthusiastic trib
ute of applause thathas been paid to him per
sonally during the week.
The Noblest Efforts of AIL
The other orchestral numbers were Wag
ner's. The marvelous "Funeral March," in
which, while Siegfried's corpse is being
borne away, his whole heroic career is ret
viewed, deserved and received the noblest
efforts of conductor and players. It
was a masterpiece in every respect
perhaps the worthiest performance of
the entire series. And yet the
wondrous prelude and finale from "Tristan
und Isolde1' calls for much the same com
mendation for the intensely passionate,
poetically conceived interpretation. Truly,
if Anton Seidl is a Hungarian by birth, he is
a German of the Germans by second nature.
The chorus recorded yet another step in
advance last nikht. Clearly, the singers
had been much hampered by lack of
familiarity with the stage conditions
under which they had to sing what,
as it now seems, they bad so diligently
rehearsed, la. the opening number of
the "Stabat Mater" a really sonor
ous tone and no little effective-
b ncss in shading were displayed.. 'The
basses distinguished themselves in the Eia
mater and the entire force delivered the
well-known Inflammatus with stirring tonal
power and dramatic force.
Mr. Fischer's remarkable Zieder sing
ing, as shown in Schubert's "Wan
derer" and a simple love song, was
the solo feature of the evening.
Mrs. Wyman's lovely voice and warmth of
feeling shone to advantage in Saint-Saens'
"Samson et Dalila". aria, and Mrs. Walker,
though somewhat more affected by .the
chilly atmospherei gave a thoroughly credit
able rendition of Mendelssohns concert-aria,
"Infelicel" 7
The Last Matinee Well Attended.
Of the afternoon performance, which
about 2,500 people attended, buta bare men
tion can be made. Mrs. Mlelko in Web
er's famous "Ocean" aria, Mr. Beichmann
in the baritone aria from Marschner's"Hans
Helling" (in place of.the "Boi de Labor"
extract) and both Of them in the
?reat "Walkuere" finale, displayed to
he best advantage their eminent abilities,
vocal and musical. Mr. SeidTs readings in
the "Tannhaeuser" overture and bacchanal e
were positively electrifying, and manifested
an originality not expected in these familiar
measures. Mr. Wilczek showed his mire.
sympathetic tone and musical sensibility
in Wieniawski's D minor violin concerto.
"while Miss Agnes Vogel quite outdid her
own best efforts of the past in the. ex
cerpt from Bruch's "Flightinto Egypt." The
chorus of women completed the effective
ness of the latter number, Mr. Better con
ductingas in the "Stabat Mater" of the
evening with a greatly increased spirit and
vigor. - C. W. S.

OPPOSITE
JUST A BIIVJEALOUS.
One Eighteenth Ward Girl Assaults An
other and Is Sped for It.
Mary Ackerman, a young lady who re
sides in the Eighteenth ward, is the subject
of a suit for assault and battery entered
against her by Agnes Black, before Alder
man McNeirney. Miss Black was passing
an alley with her brother-in-law, James Mc
Coy, and his wife, going toward the home
of tne latter, when she was accosted by
Miss Ackerman, who was standing there
with Frank Miller.
It appears that Miss Ackerman enter
tained any but the kindest feeling toward
Miss Black, primarily because, it is stated,
Judge Stowe made an order in court com
pelling Miller to pay her SI 50 per week
toward the support of Miss Black's child.
Anyway, Miss Ackerman, so Miss Black al
leges, pushed her out of the alleyway in no
gentle manner, and Miss Black entered suit
as stated.
