tf rrCIAL TELECBAM TO TOE CISrATCIL
Ex. Pact, July 21 After four days of stout
contention against the hosts of moral
rortnert. who took np arm against the pro
posed finish fight between Fitzsimmons and
llalL the Minnesota Athletic Club was
forced to surrender and declare the fight
rilf. This conclusion was not reached until
the club had exhausted every means of
securing an adjustment, and not until tho
r-hcriff had announced hi intention to pre
sent the fight at any and all hazard-, and
the Governor had ordered four militia com
panies under arms to assist the Sheriff.
Then theclnb lay down and consented to b
counted out. In the language of the club
president a he indignantly protested
against the treatment so grossly unfair and
unreasonable:
"You have nailed us to the cross, and there
wcare.
The force of the remark will be more ap
parent when the history of the case is given.
The club had for 23 days advertised to the
world its purpose to gie a jiurso of $12,0(0,
and in the belifrtliat there was no la w w Inch
lorbade glo e contests.
Mere Wrongly AdifcCd.

tiroceeded to erect a temporary pavilion
at a cost of $5,000. All this was
widely published and thoroughly known
to the State and municipal authori
ties and the people generally. Xot a voice
wa raised against it and the outlay nent on.
Resident Cowles of tho Minnesota Ath
letic Club, this afternoon gave outthefol
loning statement:
Up to noon to-dav it wa hoped that, under
atairanu reasonable execution of the law,
which at mot makes a prizefight a misde
meanor, and not a felony, as Is tho casein
many other states, the contest would pro--ci'
and the club have the opportunity of
to soma extent eovenng its loss. The club
asked that the Mierlfl" be content with ar
resting the principals and putting them
under bond for lutui-eappea ranee, and that
tlif law be allow ed to take its course after tho
event. The Sherill wasdisposcd toadopt this
policy, but under a thieat from the Gover
uorof instant removal lrom office if he did
nor prevent the light bv any means in the
power of the State the SlieriiT was obliged to
notify the club that he should be on hand
prepared to stop the fight. It was also
seated that the Governor had ordered the
J'irst Kegiment underarms for she purpose
'" assisting the Sheriff. In ucl' a state of
tilings the club could not think of proceed
ing with the contest, and as a i esult of a con
rerence, in which theMaroi, Chief of Police,
Siienfl. Countv Attorncv and the club offi
cials tcok p.irt at noon to-duy, the club
threw up the sponge and declared the fight
off.
Some Heavy Losses.
The club loes its deposit of 3 COO as a for
feit to protect the contestants and in addi
tion about $9,000 expended in constructing
the big pavilion and for other necessary ex
penses. Under the circumstances the
acton of the s,tte authorities was
cruel and unjust, as the fight could
and should have been prevented 30
to 50 dvs ago before a dollar of
expense had been incurred. Mayor Smith
irnestly urged that the club go on w ith tho
light, but it was decided to drop it m order
to remove all possibility of disorder or
uinoaeiica.
(Signed.) T. Z. Cowles,
President of the Minnesota Athletic Club.
The declaration ot the Minnesota Athletic
I lull that there would bo no ugh' was final,
so far as that club is concerned, and many
is ild rumors to th contrary arc entirelj un
founded. As stated by President Cowles of
that club, there had" been an expense and
would be a direct lo to them of SliiflO. but
tsifv submitted to the legal authorities
rather than precipitate trouble and would
pa back the money received for tickets.
Although the First regiment of militia had
Ix-en notified to be in readiness in ease there
mould be need of their assistance by tho
sbenfi, the soldiei bojs were not needed
and will undoubtedly not be called into
wi-viee.
T. Z Cowles, President of the Athletic
Club, to-day received the following letter:
Tlie herilfs Vt arning.
T. Z. Cobles. Es.1 :
Deab Slit I am informed that your build
ing In this citv is still under preparation for
a light, and that it is designed to have a
fight take place there to-night between Hall
and Fitzsimmons. I Inform you now that
this cannot be, and, while I do not believe
that you will allow this under the supervis
ionof your association, if you will inform
nic of any design on tho part of anyone to
have a prize fight in this county you will be
entitled to my thanks. Resnectfullv.
En SBeax, SherilT.
Mr. Cowles Immediately replied by a letter
stating tiiat tne men at worK on tlie pavilion
were simply being allowed to finish their
daj's woik: that there would be no fight
there under anvone's auspices, and that the
Minnesota Athletic Club had given up the
entire mattei and would make no attempt
whatever to hold the entertainment.
The Ilvan Hotel, which has been the ath
letic club headquarters, is full of curiosity
seekers and those who came to the city to
see the fiirlit and are waiting until to-morrow
morning to get tbelr money back. Many
minors have been circulated among them
nhout the possibility and probability of the
fight taking place elsewhere. It 16 certain
t hut the fight will not take place in this
"-ate, but noone knows whether it will come
oil in another State. It is reported that tho
Witronsm Central road lias a train in readi
ness to take tho flghtersand as many of their
friends as can be brought together over into
isconsm, w here the fight w ould be held on
turf, but the report has not been confirmed,
and is doubted.
The ."Military Were Out.
A martial air pervaded the atmosphere
strrrounding the monster amphitheater
erected for the express purpose of seating
the prospective spectators of the much
tnlked of mill. Four companies of the First
liegiment of the State National Guard, 200
j-tinng, under command of Colonel William
18. Bend, had possession of the grounds and
u cordon of 100 sentries surrounded the
building, forming a barrier as Impenetrable
n the ingress of disconsolate sports as
t hough the building w as in a slate of siege.
The amphitheater was hermitically sealed,
not a f-oul bing allowed to enter it.
Kept back some distance from the build
ing uy the bayonets of the sentries were a
ruassof at least l.tmo people drawn thither
either through cunositv or from ignorance
oi the fight being called otT.
An Associated Press representative visited
thegiounds, and had a personal interview
w ttli Colonel Bend, commanding. The
C-.lonel lauzhingli remarked that he would
luiirh rather do something else, and did not
scjin to relish Ins duty at all. Asked as to
his orders, Colonci Bend said:
"The Governor, at the request of Sheriff
Bean, ordeicd us to guard the amphitheater,
with strict instructions to allow no one
whatever inside tho building. A soldier is
obliged to obej orders, and I am carrying
mine out to the letter. I have no idea how
long we will be on duty, as we have orders to
r'main here until relieved. When that w ill
! I do not know: but until wo are ordered
ir dutv no one whatever will be allowed to
enter tlie amphitheater."
3Iore False Rumors.
Other rumors there are, but none of them
have yet shown themselves to bo more than
rumors. At a late hour to-night Hall was
playing billiards at the Metropolitan Hotel
and enjoying life generally, apparently with
no thought ol any impending conflict with
Fitzsimmons or the Sheriff. Fitzsimmons
also was resting instead of fighting the bat
tle for which he had prepared.
Parson Paries, Hall's backer and trainer,
mijs that they will .remain here until to
morrow to git e tho club a chance of saving
the forfeit ot $3,000, or $1,500 to each fighter,
bv bringing oil the fight, but that the
chances were $100 to a nickel that there
w ould be no fight. This statement is practi
cally reiterated by Frank Shaw, Clark, who
backed Fitzsimmons, and others. Bud
Ilenaud,of New Orleans, said there would be
no fight botw ecn these men at New Orleans
this summer.
Mayor Smith, who had emphatically re-
fused to prevent the light, to-night said
th.it the fight should have taken place
and that the Governor had no right to call
out the militia for a misdemeanor. The
-.., ..... 4e . i.,, in- Attnnipv .T Mr..
Caffertv. MhohftB charge of the defense of
Fitzsimmons and his trainers before the
municipal court. Judge McCafforty says
the Governor transcended his powers in
calling out the militia; that this wb simply
a mi-demeanor, whereas the Governor con
sidered it as a felony.
Frank Shaw, who engineered the articles
for the fight and organized the Minnesota
Athletic Club, whero tho fight was to be
held, says that "The Governor now has his
troops quartered in tho club's pavilion, and
has driven out our watchman, who had been
placed there to guard the property."
TROTTERS AXD RUNNERS.
The Third Day at Detroit Produces Some
Good Sport The Judges Cause Some
Great Kickine Guv Tails to Beat His
Ilecord and Acts Badly.
Detroit, Mion., July 22. The feature of
the third day's raclngof the Detroit Driving
Club's summer meeting was the attempt of
" onder" Guy, owned by W. J. Gordon, of
Cleveland, Jo break his record of 2:10.
The weather was line, and a crowd offi.OOO
persons witnessed the race. Much dissatis
faction was expressedat the decision of tho
Judges in aw arding the fifth heat of the 2:21
class to Charlie C, there not being more than
a noso between that horseand Annie Wilkes,
and the crowd holding the opinion that tho

When Guy came out for Ins attempt at his

going better than a 2:15 clip. He went to the

SOMEWHAT ORDINARY.
Tliat Was the Class of the Sport at Jerome
Tark Track.
Jekome Pauk, July 22. The card presented
by the Monmouth Association to-day was a
very ordinary one, and it attracted ono of
the smallest crowds of the meeting. Thero
were probably 2,500 persons present when
the horses went to the post for tho first race,
and before the day was over every one of
them had contributed more or less to the
support of the bookmakers. The track was
in first-class shape, tne field small, but not
once during the day did tho talent guess

Complaints About Erie.
TSrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCn.1
Erie, July 22. There is trouble brewing
here over the management of the races last
week, and it is stated that the Driving Park
association is doing more crooked work.
There was a large number of entries for the
races there, but when the owners of the
horses learned of the rittsburg meetinc,
they withdrew their horses and the people
who attended the races here claim they saw
a lot of fakes. The entrance monevof the
gentlemen w ho preferred to go to Pittsburg
is in the hands of the management of the
track here and is likely to stay there. Miller
& Sibley, who had a fine lot of horses hero
from Franklin, refused to let the best of
them go and say they will never again enter
a horse on the Erie track. It is the old story
of crookedness, and w hether true or not is a
gieat injury to the track here so long as it is
under the present management.

Mane Quite a Scene.
LiOxdks, July 21. There was a disgraceful
scene at a boxing exbibitiongh en at a thea
ter in Liverpool this evening. In the course
of a match Slavin, who rolled about hardly
able to stand, Jestingly said that Mitcholl
could not hit him in M0 years. Mitchell,
angered at these words, knocked Slavin
about the stage and finally among the aud
ience. During the row Slavin fell several
1 times and Mitchell continued striking htm
even while he was still on his knees trying
i to rise, blood pouring from his nose and
i mouth. When Sin vin regained the stage the
rnrtain was lowered and the fljrhrars rolled
behind the scene until with great difficulty
the men were separated.

BCHAEFFER AND SL0SS0K.
The Two Billiard Experts May Meet Again
In a Championship Contest.
New Yor.K, July 22. The controversy be
tween Jacob bchaefl'er and George F. Slos
son has cropped out again, and it looks very
much from the position that Slosson has
taken, as if tho "Wizard" would be obliged
to accept the Eastern expert's terms, pro
vided he is sincere in his recently expressed
statements at his home in Chicago. Schaef
fer said he was willing to plav Slosson a
match fortho world's 14-inch balk line em
blem in Xew York, provided Slosson would
allow him $-250 for expenses in case of de
feat. This was telegraphed from tho Chicago
honse to tho Xew York house of the Bruns
wick Balke-Collender Company.
When the matter was brought to the at
tention of Slosson he said; "I am willing to
play Schaefler in New York next November
tor tho emblem and $500 a side, tho game to
be S00 points up, U-inch balk line, on a 5x10
table. As a proof that I mean business I de-
Sosit $500 with the Brunswick Balke-Collen-er
Company."

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Cleveland, July 22. The big oak bat that
Charley Zimmer has been scraping and oil
ing and guarding with
jealous caro for the last
few days gave him three
hits to-day and one of
them, a long triple into
right field was the, hit that
gave Cleveland a lead
which mado Hanlon's nine
feel tired and homesick.
The chaps from the city of
gas and belching chimneys
wero completely shifted
around from their posi
tions in the last visit.
They played here as
though they wero an en
tire now team. A broad
shouldered and auburn
haired young man by the
name of Newell.from Port
land, Me., played third base and the one
chance that he had was accepted credita
bly. Ho did not astonish the natives with
his bat although he put in a couple of
ground hits in good time to the infield and
bagged a sacrifice apiece by doing so. Out
in right field Beilly, tho regular third base
man for the team, played in a manner that
Astonished the Spectators.
When it is taken into consideration that
the sun in left field here makes it an ex
tremely difficult position to play, some of his
catches almost boi dercd on the miraculous.
Behind the bat was Midget Miller as loqua
cious and supremely confident as ever, and
in the box was Maul, who pitched a good
game all things considered and was un
lucky enough to have the hits bunched
against him. Pittsburg hit G ruber in a
scattered and unsuccessful way all through
the game until the ninth inning, when
Cleveland's only error and a lucky lilt gave
Pittsburg three runs. MoAleer vied with
Reilly in making phenomenal plays, and tho
fielding honors ot the game wero shared be
tween the two men.
Cleveland scored its first run in the second
inning. Johnson was hit on the shoulder
with the ball, and went to scoond on a wild
pitch. Tebeau struck out, and Virtue was
given a base on balls. Then Zlmmcr stepped
into the box, swung his big bat defiantly at
Maul and banged a liner over Shugart's
head, sending Johnson home. G ruber struck
out, McAleer got a base on balls and Mc
Kean's hit to Beckley resulted in the retire
ment of the batter. In the third Davis was
thrown out on a hot hit to Bierbauer, and
Childs got a base on balls.
A Very Close Call.
He stole second just as Johnson twisted a
slow grounder to Beckley. Mnul covered
first base and Johnson was declared out,
although the chances are that he was safe.
Tebeau rapped a line hit into center field
and Childs scored. Tebeau stole second and
Virtue put him on third with a hit to
right field Just as he started to steal. Then
Ziramer pounded out a long line hit between
Carroll and Hanlon and Tebeau and Virtue
crossed the plate. Gruberfiied out to Shu-
gart.
' In the fourth Beckloy hit safely to center
and went to third on Shugart's single to
Davis. Bierbauer's long fly to McAleer gave
Beckley a chance to scoic. The fiist too
Cleveland bathers were out in the eighth,
and then Bierbauer tumbled Tebcairs hot
hit. Virtue was given a base on balls and
Ziminer's singlo to left field sent Tebeau
home. Shugart fumbled Grubcr's hard
grounder and Virtue scored. In the ninth
Shugart popped up a little fly to center,
which bounded away from Davis and gave
the batter two bases. Bierbauer got a base
on balls. A wild throw by Gruber to catch
Shugart napping advanced both men. Car
roll hit safely to left Held and Shugart
counted. Newell's sacrifice to Vii true scored
Bierbauer. Childs fumbled Hanlon's hit and
Carroll soored. A corking double play on
Reillv's hot hit to Tebeau ended the fun.
PlttBburg was beaten, but it was not a defeat
to be ashamed of. Attendance, 1,200. Scoro:

Louisville, July 22. President Parsons, of
the Louisville Baseball Club, left this morn

he went to Cincinnati to sell the Louisville
club, its franchise.etc, to President Kramer,
of the American Association. lie went thero
with full power to dispose of the mortgago
held by the Mechanics' Trust Company, tho
assignee of tho Falls City Bank. Unless tho
Association Is willing to purchase tho mort

Trust Company will at once begin legal pro
ceedings to have it foreclosed, and the man
agement hits been notified that unless there
is a settlement before the club returns
home the receipts will then be attached.
There are three gentlemen in Louisville
who nro willing to take the club, and the

it to responsible parties here. This action,
it is thought, is taken to get rid of certain
objectionable stockholders.
Will Be for Blood.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
East Liverpool, July 22. The D'Nice

itor'.
The New Manager Arrives.
William McGunnigle, the new manager of
the local team, arrived in the city yesterday.
He is a very genial gentleman and, as may
be expected, has lots to say about baseball.
Ho did not sign a contract with the club
y estci day, but expects to do so to-day. He
met the directors and had a satisfactory
conversation with them. Mr. McGunnigle
managed the Brooklyn team when they won
the Association pennant, and also w hen they
won the League pennant last year.
A Very Hot Argument,
rSFF.CIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Ukiontown, July 22. Kennedy's colts and
the California team played the hottest gamo
here this afternoon that has ever been
played in the county. Captain Kennedy was
sick, and unable to play, and two other mem
bers of the team were obliged to hire sub
stitutes, but In the eighth miiiug the score
stood 2 to 2, when the visitors had to hustle
to catch the train for home. The gamo will
be played over in a few daj s.
The Brldgovilles Won.
The Man8fleldandBridgeville teams, of the

General Sporting Notes.
THE Fifteenth ward Stars defeated the Sliver
Lea ft Tuesday by 15 to 16.
Toun FniENU: We cannot tell what picnic Is
to be held at Idlewild on the 30th Inst.
THE Echoes, of Franketown yesterday defeated
the Golden Eagles by a score of 14 to 10.
The leading official of the local club was at Cleve
land yesterday with the team, and they lost again.
IF Mr. McGunnigle lakes hold he means to keep
all llles away from his bailiwick. That Is his only
hope.
The L.J. Bpulers have organized and want to
play any local team whose members are not more
than 14 years old.
It Is possible to have the local team under one
manager In fact, but, oh I It will be something very
extraordinary in Flttsburg.
Gbkcgiaks, the cx-champion middle weight of
the Faclnc coast, defeated Billy McCarthy in 23
rounds Tuesday night at San Francisco.
E-n-irTi .TnrrwsTOX. the feather-weiiht chamnlon
of England, and Jumper Howe have been matched
to fight for a purse of 120 and 100 a side.
Mb. MCGCNNIGLE says that Hanlon will not be
released: but It Is a fact that one or two parties In
terested in tho club want Ned out of the city en
tirely. ,
MB. McGunnigle, the Intended new manager of
the local team, won't take hold except he Is M have
absolute control of the team. He Is to hare this,
something that Hanlon never bad.
MCLE SAM'S CHOICE
Of a Site for the Allegheny Postoffice
Likely to Be Made.
A LIMIT PLACED ON THE COST.
The Stockton Avenue Location May Be Soon
Selected Unless
NORTHSIDE CIIIZEiNS DO SOMETHING
1FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
WashijiGTo:?, July 22. It is almost certain
that if tho citizens of Allegheny do not take
steps to secure the location of the new post
offlce at a point on the Diamond, where it
ought to bo, some site will be chosen by
tho Government from tho very necessities of
the case, which those same citizens will
greatly regret in future years. The proba
bilities are that if something is not dono
immediately in that direction the Stockton
avenue 9ite will be selected soon after the
return of Assistant Secretary Crounse next
week. The interview in The Dispatch of
yesterday with Postmaster Gllleland and
Chiof Clerk White attracted attention here,
on account of their intimation of the indif
ference of the people of Allegheny. The
officials of tho department say that if tho
citizens can stand the selection of a Bite
which is not considered commendable tho
Government can stand it.
The instances where citizens have con
tributed to make up the difference between
the cost of a site and of the appropriation
are numerous. Pittsburg gavo upward of
$16,000 to secure the site of the now building
in tiiat city, the difference between tne np-
firopriatlon nnd the value of the site. Dal
as, Texas, gave a considerable sum lor a
similar purpose. Lynn, Mass., is now ne
gotiating to pay about $20,000, tho difference
between the cost of a favorite site and the
appropriation of $35,000. The instances aro
mnny in which a city has donated an entiro
site, and thus secured for the building the
addition of the sum appropriated for a site.
Surprised at Allegheny.
Tho authorities of the department are
very much surprised, "unofficially," that
the citizens of Allegheny do not influenco
the Councils to donate the Haymarket site,
and remove the hay wagons from under the
shadow of the templo of the muses on the
other side of Ohio stieet, donated by Mr.
Carnegie.
They apparently see a greater future for
Allegheny than the citizens do, for they pre
dlot that it is only a question of a few years
when local pride will remove tho old mar
ket house from tho most conspicuous spot
in the center of the city to some quarter
more commodious and appropriate tor tho
barter of fish, fowl and the product of tho
truck garden; when a grand city hall will
roar Itself in the place of the ugly old build
ing, v, hieh is all the uglier since tho advent
of the Carnegie gift; and when structures
which would oe appropriate companions of
these fine edifices will be elected on the re
maining portions of the Diamond, making a
beautiful aud harmonious whole, instead of
the grotesque incongruity that now exists,
both in nrcnitccture and purposo.
The view taken by the gentleman inter
viewed by The Dispatch, that the difference
between the cost of a proper site and the
appropriation be made up by the owners of
adjoining property or by public spirited
citizens at large is highly commended by
the officials of the department, though, of
course, they say they are only interested in
doing what they can to get Allegheny a good
building and that they do not mean to criti
cise in any way.
A Limit to the Cost.
The limit of the appropriation is fixed.
The cost of the site cannot exceed $65,000. In
saying that $100,000 is available, Postmaster
Gllleland is at fault. At the first session of
the Fifty -first Congress the cost of site and
building was limited to $250,000, and $E5,0C0
was appropriated for the purchase of a site
and beginning of operations. At the second
session of the same Congress an additional
appropriation of $35,000 w as made for "con
tinuing the work" on the Allegheny post
office, and the words quoted have been con
strued by the department to mean that this
sum must be devoted to the M-ork of con
struction and not used in tho purchase of a
site. If It was intended to be used for that
purpose the wording of the act was very un
lortunate. All of the sites that are considered most
eligible and appropriate are much in excess
of this appropriation. One on the northeast
cornor of Federal and North Diamond
streets, whioh would be in size only 20x&0
feet, after deducting for the fire limit, Is
held at $150,000 by the owner, Mrs. Harriet
Shields. One on the South Diamond, oppo
site the market, is held at about $85,000. One
ontouth Diamond, opposite the Haymarket,
150 feet by 110, is assessed at about $63,CC0,
owned principally by tho Bev. Mr. Sprout.
The Cheapest Site Offered.
The property for which Mr. C. L. Magee is
trustee, on the corner of North and West
Diamond, is 150 by 120 feet and can be ac
quired without condemnation for about $S5,
000, all expenses included. And it would
seem that this is about the only chance for a
postofflce on tho Diamond, as considering
the area of the pioperty, it is by far tho
cheapest offer. But of course this can onli
ne acquired by a donation from the adjoin
ing pioperty owners, or by a contribution
from the citizens at large. Suoh a building
as would be erected on a lot of this kind
would uudoubtedly be of great valuo to the
adioining property.
The postoffice which will bo erected soon
will probably be all the postoffice Allegheny
will have for a hundred years to como and
the site ould seem to be something of more
than present and temporary importance.
It is useless to talk about changing the ap
propriation for a site. Any attempt in that
direction would be at the risk oi undoing
all that has been dono, in view of the pecu
liar composition of the Filty-second Con
gress. RIVER NEWS AND NOTES.
