tfrZClKI. TELTCKAM TO TnE DISrATCH.l
Kuir York, Aug. 8. It took Eusic seven
innings to get warmed up to his work to
day, and in the interim
the 1'ittsburgs warmed his
pitching in a way that was
("Lj , I new an( novel. Specta-
M "ii n v crs rubc( their eyes as
X. iiTAx the cvclonic deliverv of
the Indiana man was
straightened out into one,
two and four-base hits, un
able to believe that the
great pitcher was in the
box. Every pitcher, how
ever, goes to the box once
too often and is more or
less broken. The surpris
inz thing is that the big
fellow hasn't been hit hard
more often. After 6even innings of hard
pounding he seemed to regain all this usual
Fpced and effectiveness, and the Pittsbnrgs
w ere helpless before him. In seven Innings
they accumulated 16 lilts, but did not play
the ball safely in the romcining flvo innings.
The New Yorks were not idle with their
sticks, and Buck Ewing once more showed
bow valuable he is to the team, even If he
has a glass arm.
BUCK IK GREAT TORSI.
Twice he came to tho plate, when a base
hit m! prayed for as the farmer prays for
rain, and twice he placed the ball wifely out
of reach of all fielders, i hlle two runs cro
scored in cncli instance. It was the sort of
batting that wins games, and Is additional
evidence that his presence in the team for
the remainder of tho soason is an aboluto
necessity. TheNew Yoiks did some r-plcc-d!J
wr.rk in the field. Buckley. Bichardson
una Bictt distinguishing themselves. A
gr- at deal of the field work of the visitors
was marrr-lous, Beckley and Shuirart play
Inc hrllliautly. For seven inning tho Pitts-burs-
fairly reveled Jn bao hits, and they
shrieked and howled ith delizht. Manager
Mr-Gunnijrlo veiled frantically from the
Veneh.Millcr bellon ed continuously whether
at bat or in the field and even' man in the
tcan. shouted and screamed for seven In-
Jili.gt. Then they becamo quiet as lambs
and left tho liefd in a mournful state of
mind. Tue Sew Yorks made an excellent
start, get'lns two runs in tho flrit on Gnro's
bseo on balls TicrnanV base hit, Ki hard
son' nacrillce fly and errors by li.uWon and
Calvin, the latter making a wild throw to
first.
SOME DIG HITS.
In the bncond inning Bluett's single and
doubles by Buie and Tiernau gave two
more runs. The f.it face of Pudgy Galvin
had taken on a serious expression that made
It look moru comical than usual, when sud
denly hl co-orkei struck a battinc
straik, :itoniFhing the grand stands and
alo themselves.
Biorlmner started with a clean single and
Cairo'; got a scratch single to fight. Muni
and Bei-er both struck out, and "Spud"
tialvin was looked upon as an easy mark.
He hit a grounder to left that Baett and
Iticliardvim hud some m'.sunderstnndinif
about. Kichatrtson finally grabbed tho ball
with ono hard, hut could not recover in
time to throw to first base, and the bases
were fml ilaniou, who is hitting strongly
this season, then came np and lined ont tho
first ball pitched for a clean two-bagger,
three I'itisbnrpers racing to tlie plate. Shug
a.tvatno nest and nearly knocked tho ball
off the cnitn. He raised it nearly out of
Bight and it lan-led in the extreme right
center and rolled under the ropivj. Tho sitfo
wns retired wzthoi additional damage but
tl.erc sas orusterna'ion in tho Xew York
csuip. The Pittsburgs got another rnn In
thclomth on Metrics by Haulon, Shngnrt
and Itocklrv and ono more in theseventl on
singled by Milter, Carroll, Maul and Berger.
THEY MADE A SPURT.
The New Yorks made their first spurt in
tho fccvcnib when they rolled up three runs
on Kichard-on's baso on balls, O'Rourkc's
two-baser. Connor's scratch hit, and Ewing's
clean mgle, sending in two runs. Tho bat
tle from the seventh inning to the close of
the twelfth was intensely exciting, and kept
the Lig crowd cheering continuously. In
the twelfth, the Now Yorks brought the un
certainty to a close by soma good hitting.
O'Kourke reached first on Shugart's wide
throw to first, and Connor followed with a
imwc hit. Ilaniou jnggld tho ball and
O'Bourke g,i to third Connor going to second
Then E ing came up and smashed out a clean
single, both men scoring. Kwing got to
eecoud on a bad throw by Galvin, and ran
homo on Miller's low throw to first. That
settled the game. The visitors wcro eabily
disposed if in the Inst half of the twelfth.
The attendance was 3,619. and they all wore
smiles at the clus'.
McGuimigie discovered the battery signs
of ItuMe and Buckley, v hich accounts for
the manner m which the cyclone was hit
c.nly in :hogam. McGunniglc fined iiiller
$20 for poor bese running in the seventh
inning. Kobert Barr Is tho Giants' new
pitcher. His release wis purchased of the
Buflalo club this morning and he signed a
"Sew York contract this afternoon. lie was
thebest pitcher in the Eastern Association.

The League Race.
The contest for the National League pen
nant continues to be j nst as exciting as ever.
While the Chicago team keep a hold of first
place, their grip is not n very firm one, ns
Now York and Boston are closo up. But the
New Yorks are sadly broken up. The Phil
lies are putting on a wonderful spurt, and
the Brooklyn are doing well. The Clove
land team have fallen to piece", and tho tail
ondcrs are having quite an exciting time.

Should TYin More Games.
The baseball writer, TV. O. E., in the
Sporting Times, has the following to say
abont onr sluggers: Manager McGunniglc
now has control of tho Pittsbnrg team and
is working in his own way to try and im
prove the standing of his new charge. Two
victories over the Clevelauds was his
starter. Then he packed up Iits collar and
necktie and advanced on his old stronghold,
Brooklyn. He and his team were warmly
received there. Notwithstanding the fact
that be did everything in his power to "hoo
doo" Ward's men, tho latter lonnd no trou
ble in winning the first two games of the
series. Mac was disappointed. He had set
his heart on winning two of his three games
in Brooklyn. Ho has the consolation that
he will have another chance to try next
month. King and Baldwin are pitohing in
excellent form, and if they were properly
supported with clean fielding and good team
work thero is no reason why tho Pittsbnrgs
should not win more games.

An Interesting Protest.
To the Sporting Editor of The Dispatch:
We, the undersigeed ladies of Bridgevllle,
take th liberty of writing to you to express
our disapproval of the conduct of several of
the Climax players in tho game at Bridge
villo on Saturday, August 8. The second
basemannamed Barr, was especially pro
fane and vulgar in his remarks before tho
ladies present at the game. We ,sincerolv
hope that such profanity and vulgarity will
not be heard a second time, as the repeti
tion of such conduct will be tho -means of
keeping any lady or ladies from the future

fSPPCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.l

Dixon's backer, writes as follows from San
Francisco:
George Dixon's victory over Abe Willis, whom
sporting men and the newspapers claimed was the
greatest 115-pound pugilist lu the world, gained
him a host of friends on the Pacific Slope. Dixon's
style of fighting and his gentlemanly manners sur
prised the Calllornla people.
Willis was game and verr clever, but the first
punch Dixon fairly landed dropped the Australian
champion to the floor. Willis claimed he could see
two Dlxous before him. and that he was never hit
so hard before, and he doubted If he ever would be.
Dixon Is now the 115-pound champion of the
world, and he is eager to meet an pugilist in the
world for (1,000 or 1,500 a side and the champion
ship. Dixon's next battle will be with Fred Johnston,'
the feather-weight champion of England. But It
all depends upon the Pelican and National Sport
ing clubs. The English champion has challenged
Dixon to light, if either of the above clubs will put
upail.COJ purse, which was the amount Willis
and Dlxou fought for. 1 will match Dixon to fight
Johnston for X500 a side that is, 82,500 and the
championship. Richard K. Fox, the proprietor of
the Police Gazette, now in London, has been com
municated to confer with Ernest C. Welles, of tho
Pelican Club, and Lord Lonsdale, of the National
Club, to arrange the match.

FATHER A MURDERER.
TWO GIRLS TESTIFY AS TO THE KILL
ING OF A SOLDIER,
He Had Angered Chnrles Miller, Who
Went at Dim With an Ax-Handle
Told His Daughters Not to Tell The
Tragedy Occurred Last March.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Habbisbtjrg, Ang. 8. Katie and Sadie
"Vananasvale stood in the Mayor's court
room this afternoon and told a story about
Charles Miller, their stepfather, which has
caused him to be held on the charge of
murdering Dallas Fichthorn, an old soldier,
whose body was found in a shed near the
canal above Maclay street last March.
Katie is 18 years old and Sadie is 12.
Miller stood in the dock with his wife who
held a pretty little baby in her arms and
listened to the story with little concern.
Katie said, and Sadie corroborated
her story, that several men
came into their home on the night
of the murder and Miller chased
them out Miller lived in the big house
along the canal, above Maolav- street.
When the fellows got on the outside they
threw stones through the window.
"Papa went out after them with an axe
handie," saidJKatie. "I heard a man cry
out 'don't kill me.'' Papa dragged the fel
low away and returned home almost an
hour afterward. Next morning papa toid
me not to tell on him. He said he wished
the jury would come and take the man
away. I faw the body. The man was one
of those in the house the day before.
J. M. Trostle, a resident of Dauphin
street, is also said to have seen Pichthorn
counting some money the day before his
body was discovered, and he had a contro
versy with Coroner Shindler over the result
of the inquest. Miller, who is a man about
33 years of age, stoutly maintains his inno
cence, and insists that he knows nothing
about the matter. After the hearing the
elder of the two witnesses said she believed
the blow dealt Pichthorn had killed him,
because her father had cautioned them not
to say anything about it.
The gist of the testimony this afternoon
was that the tramps had become obstreper
ous in the house, were ordered to leave, re
fused and Miller attempted to eject them
with the aid of the ax-handle, racing them
outside. He then returned, and next morn
ing Pichthorn's body was found. Then
Miller cautioned the family to say nothing
of the affair.
