There will be plenty baseball events going
on to-day to interest the cranks all over the
country. To-day's games in the National
League will introduce the "Western teams
to the Eastern public for the first time this
year. That fact is exceedingly interest
ing, a everybody interested in the game is
wondering how the "Western teams will fare
in the East
The local team went Eastyyesterday and
should have arrived inBrooklyn last evening.
President O'Neil insisted that the players
get into Brooklyn in time to get a night's
rest. Regarding the prospects of the team
ManageV Hanlon and President O'Neil had
not very much to say. Of course the tem
porary loss of Bierbauer is a very heavy
one and it will probably cause a few de
feats. Manager Hanlon, referring to the
matter, said: "I will keep Berger at
second until I find out what he can do. If
he can manage the position in anything
like a reasonable way, all right, and if he
cannot I will try another man there. I
think Bierbauer will not be able to play
until the team returns home. Of course it
is a heavy blow forus but we will just have
to stand it."
President O'Xeil was, as usual, full of
confidence. He said: "Just keep your eye
on Bcrgcr. He'll come out all right Our
tram will win 10 of the 16 games, and I
expect that we'll start offbv winning two at
Brooklyn to-morrow. I don't know who
the pitchers will be. They may be Galvin
and Stratton or Baldwin and Galvin. But
all our pitchers are in good form, and we
will win plenty of games. I expect that
our trip will be a good one financially."
rhlllies Good at Blowing;.
Union station was alive with baseball men
. yesterday morning going East. Tho ritts-
burg. Cleveland, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Brooklvn clnbs were all there. As usnal,

The Sin Francisco Examiner, speaking of the
Association claim that It would not have men who
Jump contracts, says: "The American Association
seems to be making a pretty good record in the
matter of inducing big players to "Jump' their con
tracts, despite the protestations of President Kram
mer, of that organization, that contract-lumpers
are not wanted by them. Lohman was induced to
jump ms Oakland contract by the Washington 111
clcotcam, and one of the greatest drawing cards
in this league. Roth of the Association Chios
named have made him good offers, but he has so far
refused them all."

extremely confident of victory. There are
two or three "monlcd" men. with.Darrin and
there was an attempt made yesterday to

CB0WDED CABS GOING EAST.
Complaints Aboufc the Lack of Berths on
the Pennsylvania Boad.
The trains going East last evening were
badly crowded. Those who applied yester
day morning for berths couldn't get them,
and a number of people wero compelled to
ride in common coaches.
It is not pleasant to sit up all night, and
the manner in which some of them com
plained about the Pullman monopoly for its
lack of accommodations would have made
the ears of the officials Of the concern
tingle if they could have heard the em
phatic remarks. ,-Even the poor ticket sell
ers came in for a blessing, and the truth is
that frequently these people are responsible
for much of the dissatisfaction. A drummer
at the Duquesne was growling yesterday
because thev refused to reserve -a berth for
him. Shortly after he left the ticket window
he met another commercial man who was
having three held for him. It made the
first drummer very angry to think that he
had baen discriminated against.
The hotel clerk remarked that he knew of
one instance where a lower berth had been
sold to a man, and he was persuaded to give
it 'up on the ground that a mistake nad
been made. The ticket was then quietly-
passed to another passenger who had a pull.
It is thus that the unsuspecting fool is
done up.
IK A STATE OF SOMNOLENCY.
Bntchtown, Allegheny, Very Much Affected
by the Continued Strike.
The Twelfth ward of Allegheny, com
monly known as Dutchtown, is in a state of
somnolency. It mostly is, but it is particu
larly apparent at present. It is all due to
the strike. 'Squire Urinker said yesterday
that business of all kinds was stagnated, and
all people had to do was to lie around, rest
and eat, the latter mostly on credit He
wasn't doing any business at all, and even
the saloon-keepers were grumbling. One of
them down street had sent one of his bar
tenders to work at a job on tha Hill because
of the scarcity of customers.
The 'Squire is of opinion that many of the
men now idle will be obliged to return to
work to enable them to keep up their build
ing loan payments, which, if neglected, will
cause them to forfeit their nomes and
properties.
DETECTIVE -ALLEN HELD FOB C0TTET.
He Is Alleged to Have Stolen Papers in a
Divorce Case.
Detective John D. Allen was sent to jail
yesterday by Alderman Mcllasters to await
a court .trial for the larceny of evidence in
the divorce case of Herriman vs. Jlerriman
from Ts C. Pitcairn's office.
Detective Allen had been employed to
work on the case. He claimed he had not
been paid and took the papers on that ac
count. The case was heard fast Friday and
the decision was only given out yesterday.
A Steam Yacht Launched. '
The small steam yacht "Daisy," owned by
"V. Miller Cooke, was launched last even
ing at the Allegheny end of the Seventh
street bridge. Its launching was witnessed
by a large crowd of people. The yacht is
25 feet in length, 4J feet in width, 3 feet
hold, draws 15 inches of water when loaded,
carries 8 people and crew, consisting of
"W. H. Cooke, pilot, and "V. M. Cooke, en
gineer. It has only a one-horse power out
fit, and is rated at eight miles an hour. For
its size and power it is sail to be very
