There may hare been more brilliant and
more scientific ball games ptayed in Alle
gheny county than
that of yesterday be
tween the home team
and the Giants from
2few York, but there
has never been a more
exciting one. It was
one of the contests
that brings every
drop of partisan blood
in one's veins to the
front and makes one
groan at every little
reversal and yell at
even the most trivial
point scored in favor
of the local horses. The contest was so
close that it hung in the balance during the
latter half of the game, and at times it
looked as if for certain the scales would be
turned against the local representatives.
But every time matters looked like that
something; occurred and they turned the
other way or did not turn at all.
HAD LOTS OF SHOUTING.
There were between 1,400 and 1,500 people
present, and the majority of them shouted
themselves hoarse before tho end was
reached. The shouting at one or
two stages had a little to do with
Mr. Ruie, who pitched for the Giants.
But considering the circumstances be
kept his nerve extremely well, lie was in a
tight place several times, and so was Bald
win. But thatjnst added to tho excitement
and the fun Kusle pitched well, but tho
hits that were made off his delivery were
made mostly nt times when they counted
runs, and that told heavily against the men
fromXew York.
But the great drawback to the visitors was
the fact that thc could not hit tho ball, Just
as that fact was their downfall on Thursday.
Baldwin as In excellent form, and although
he was n little wild at times he managed to
counter balance his wildnessin the nick of
time by effective and opportune w ork. lie
was also well supported, and the timely and
bard hitting of Bierbauer, Shugart and
Beeklcv helped him to victory considern
ably. The first named really played n brill
iant game
Although Rusie pitched very well, he was
not well frupportcd, mid it is not unfair to
say that tho Giants did not play a very good
game in the field. It is justice to Glasscock
to sav that he was handicapped bv a very
tore finger, and that no doubt caused him to
make a most glaring error. To add to tho
ILL-LUCK OF THE GIANTS
Buckley in running to first base In the
third inning after making a good hit,
sprained his leg badly and had to retire. He
may not bo able to catch Tor several days,
and this probability makes Manager Mutrio
mourn more than ever. .Teems now claims
that his team have had more misfortunes
than all other teams put togcthei.
The contest started out quit lively, and
the Giants began it as If they were going to
knock Baldwin out of the box. Uieibauer
started off the fun, and reached first on
Glasscock's fumble. Shugart's grounder to
Richardson caused both Bierbauer and Shn
gart to be doubled up. Miller got his base
on balls, and then Beckley banged the ball
to the loft field fence for three bags and
Miller scored. Lally struck out.
Then the Giants got an inning and went
tbo local fellows one better. Gore led off
with a splendid single to left and Richard
son struck out. Ticrnan, however, loomed
up with a corklrg three-bagger to right cen
ter scoring Gore. O'ltourke got to first on
Baldwin's fumble and Tlernan scored, but
Connor made a hit which earned Tieman's
run. In the third inning the visitors scored
another, which turned out to bo their last
run. Connor got his bae on balls and
reached third on sacrifice hits by Bassett
and Glasscock and a single by Buckley
scored lain. It w as at this stage that Buck
ley injured his leg running to first.
AN EXCITING STAGE.
In the fifth inning Baldwin led off and got
his base on balls. Bierbaner followed with
a three-bagger and Shugart came with a
double which sent both Baldn in and Bier
baner home. The excitement was high at
this stage and Rusie had enough to do to
brave the storm of yells and shouts. Miller
made an infield hit w Inch Rusie .fumbled
and Shugart got to third. Beckley's long
fly to Gore scored bhugart and the score was
tied. There was lots of fun at this stage.
Not another run was scored until the
ninth Inning, and, in tbo meantime, the
Giants had three men on bases at one stage,
Imt'not a hit w an forthcoming to score a run.
In the ninth, after Baldwin was out, Bier
bnuer made a double to left and Shugart
made a safe hit to Bassett, but the latter's
good fielding kept Bicrbauer at second.
Miller got his base on balls, and the bases
w ere fulL Then Beckley came again w ith a
long fly to Gore and Bierbauer scored what
turned out to be the winning run. The

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
New York,. Aug. 28. The meeting of
the Coney Island Jockey Club, which
begins to-morrow, is attracting universal
attention from racegoers, especially be
cause of the race for the Futurity stakes,
which jrill be decided on the first day.
This very valuable stake for 2-year-olds is
estimated to be' worth in the neighborhood
of $73,000, providing afield of 25 start, and
that numberis quite likely to go to the post.
Last year the race proved a notable vic
tory for tho late August Belmont, as that
gentleman's colts, Potomac and Masher, ran
first ancteecond. As the breeder, nominator
and owner at the time of the race he se
cured all the money, but the honor and
glory was even more welcome to tha$ ar
dent turfman.tAmong the most notable
starters to-morrow Is another colt of Mr.
Belmont's breeding, His Highness, now
owned by David Gideon. Although he goes
to the post with the -top weight of 130
pounds, His' Highness lias neatly an un
beaten record, and Is considered an import
ant factor In the race.
Mr. Gideon,, however, has two strings to
his bow. as that other good colt. Merry Mon
arch, is a certain starter. He will carry 122
pounuj. iiptu colts acquitted tnemseives
well in their final trial at Jerome Park yes
terday.. With 116 pounds up tho two covered
the distance in 1:16, a decidedly good move
for Jerome, where tue fastest three quarters
ever shown was In 1:17. Bergen has chosen
Merry Monarch as his mount, and James
McLaughlin will ride His Highness.
Among the others well liked is the Mc
Lewee representative, Yorkvllle Belle. She
Is credited with lightning work at Morris
Park. Dagonet, also, is being talkod about.
In rebuttal to the argument that the Tre
monts do not like three-quarters of a mile,
it is set forth that the Futurity is a little
short of that distance". Sims has been se
cured to ride him.
Cantaln Brown is esneclallv nl eased with
the showing made bv Lamplighter. His race
yesteraay was in tne line or work lor Satur
day. All who saw the race know how good
it was. According to Mr. Gal way, the hope
that Garrison will havo the mount is without
foundation. Mr. Galwav does not think the
Jockey will bo reinstated.

.T. w. Drape and a number of local business men
bad quite an enjoyable time yesterday afternoon at

THE boys who were up in Uniontown on Thurs
dav for the Connellsville team speak vcrr highly of
the way they were treated by Manager McCormlck
and say they never played before a lalrer crowd.
Matt Thompson has challenged the Uniontown
team to two games, one to be plajcd In Pittsburg
and the other In Uniontown. lie would like to
take the Climax team lo Uniontown onSatnrdav.
September 12. and have tho return game the fol
lowing Saturday.
OE of the things that the League would have
stipulated for In case tiie conference had continued
to a finish was the restoration of a 50 cents admis
sion fee by the Boston American Association
Club. The Association demanded almost every
thing In sight, probably on the basis of asking for
e er thing and taking what they could get.
Level headed patrons of the game In this city
arc of the opinion that the Boston League club
made a very unwise move In putting Mike Kelly
into their fine team. Itls pointed out that the Boston
League teams of 18S8 and 1839 felt the blighting ef
fects of his presence, and It Is asserted that the
present splendid team of sober, earnest players
win surely deteriorate as a resul: of his presence in
It Sew York bun.
A dispatch from Boston says: The Boston Ball
Club (Association) held a meeting Mils mornlngand
took steps to head off any further defections from
their ranks. Tbe desertion of Kelly huts them,
despite their loud assertions to the contrary. At
the meeting to-day the players were asked to sign
contracts for the season of '92. Dufly, Richardson,
Brown, Strieker. Bad ford. Murphy. O'Brien and
Fitzgerald signed. Bronthers, and Joyce were
present, but thev refused to sign until after the
season closed. Fane 11 and Bufflngton were not
present, and their Intentions are notknown.
There Is little question that tbe Detroit A. C.
and New Jersey A. C. teams will again "battle for
the Amateur Athletic Union championship. The
Bergen Pointers have won the local series with
ridiculous case, and will now have their hardest
task of theseason, tbe defeat of tbe Columbia A. C.
team of Washington. The Capital City boys are
playing a strong game, and are quite liable to sur
prise tue Jersey men. However, the odds are In
favor of tbe Litter winning the series. The Detroit
and Cleveland A. C. teams have won the series in
their respective cities, and are now struggling with
each other for the western cbamptonsblp. The
series Is five games, and Detroit has up to date cap
tured two out of three, and there Is little doubt the
Wolverines will manage to win another. Provid
ing the Jerseys are the contestants for the national
championship, two games will be played In New
York, two In Detroit, and a fifth game. If neces
sary, on neutral ground. Tbe Detrolts will present
practically the same team that won the Sag a year
ago, and the Jerseys are not materially changed.
A NEW CONSTITUTION

Others at the Grange Picnic.

Conditions in Reunion.
MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES
tSPECIAL TELEQIIAMS TO THE DISPATCH.!
"Williams Grove, Aug. 28. This was
the biggest Friday in the history of the
Grangers' picnic, and tbe railroads during
the week carried 8,000 more passengers
than on any corresponding week. Owing to
the frequent rains and the'almost impassa
ble condition of the roa'ds there was a
falling off in the number of people brought
here in vehicles, as compared with the
record of last year of 15,000.or 20,000.
Among the speeches delivered to-day was
one in Pennsylvania Dutch by "W, lOUtm
ninger, of Northampton county. Senator
Jones, of Indiana, prominently identified
with the Grange of that State, had a good
thing to say for the" picnic, and told his
hearers that the Domocraticand Republican
pni ties were preparing for a great fight In
1892. nnd'tliat the third party would open
their- campaign next "Decomber. Repre
sentative Tewksbury, of Columbia, attacked
the Boyer bill as not meeting the wants and
Just demands of real estate owneis, and
urged tho Grangers to continue tholr fli;ht
for legislation containing, the principle em
bodied in the equalization of tax bill.
In the afternoon an interesting meeting
was held to discuss the nroDrietv of the con
stitutional convention. Senator Brown said
corporate aggession had become a menace
to popular rights and w as able to sway legis
lation by Its ability to influence voters'; A
secret ballot was thus rendered an absolute
necessity nnd the Australian system was
not a remedy, becausethe present constitu
tion compelled the numbering of the ballot.
He urged the farmers in their own behalf,
and that of etery ligitimate interest, to
make their influence felt in ootainlng tbe
ablest and best delegations possible,
Representative Towksbury also favored
a convention In the Interest of a secret
ballot. Representative Taggart, opposed
It for the reason that the elections in tho
country districts wero free from intentional
fraud. Rev. B. F. Stevens, of this city, said
there was no demand for the convention
except by corporations, and one of them,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, he
had been told, was willing to spend $1,000,000
to have the clause In the Constitution against
the consolidation of competing lines re
moved. State Grange Leotuier Ailman said
the convention was wanted by tho people.
A number of others spoke for and against
the convention. The speech-making ended
with to-day.
A TRAVELING. MAN'S SUICIDE.
He Gives as His Reason That He Had
Taken His Firm's Money.
Ebexsbukg, Aug. 28. Early this morning
Harry Brunn, traveling for A. J. Logan &
Co., of Pittsburg, shot himself In the Moun
tain House at this place, and at latest ac
counts will die. Brunn came here on the
evening train last night and alter supper
took a drive. Ho went to his room at about
midnight, and soon after J. B. Denny, pro
prietor of the hotel, heard a p Istol shot. On

in his head. When Brunn saw the proprie
tor he exclaimed, "I havo done It," and fell
back on the bed. Physicians were at once
called and located tho ball back of the right
ear. It had entered the left temple and gone
clear through the head.
Brunn was conscious long enough to state
that he bad taken $300 of the firm's money,
but it is thought theie are other causes for
the shooting, ns he told Mr. Denny to tele
graph to Pittsburg at once and tell his. wife
that he had done what he said he would.
Brunn was well Known along the route
here, having been with the Logan furniture
firm foranumberof years. Dunngthedays
succeeding the Johnstown flood he was one

FITZGEEALD'S CAEEEE 0? CBUfE.
An Investigation Which Proves His Book a
.- Tissue of Falsehoods.
YocsoSTOwx, Aug. 28. Investigations re
garding the identity of William E. Fitzger
ald, convicted here of the murder of Police
man Freed, now in the Columbus peniten
tiary awaiting execution on November 19,
shows that his caieer has been one of crime
ending with homicide. Information shows
conclusively that his pamphlet was simply
a tissue of lies aud personal abuse. Several
years ago ho entered a bank in Pennsyl
vania and, coyerinethe cashier with two re
volvers, secured $1,000 and escaped. He
drifted West, and after a daring burglary in
Illinois, was sentenced to a term In the
Joliet Penitentiary, but escaped In a few
weeks after his incarceration. Soon after
he was convicted of burglary in Michigan
and sent to the penitentiary under the
name of Edward Haulon. It is known that
he was released but a short time ago from
the Michigan Fenitcntiarv. w hen he came
here and committed a burglary, and an hour
later killed Officer Freed.
During thoehort time he had his liberty
after leaving tho Jackson Penitentiary he
courted and married Miss Carrie McCanick,
of Detroit, who was not aware of his crim
inal career, and. to whom ho represented
that he was a traveling man. That his wife
has led a spotless life is attested by those
who personally investigated the case. Fitz
gerald claimed, while here, that he had
weaitny relatives near unelda, .X, Y., ana
this has, with his other statements, been
proven false. A voluminous bill of excep
tions was signed to-day by Judge Robinson,
but there is no probability of the Circuit
Court granting a new trial.
