THE PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1S91.
ft
MADE THEM HUSTLE
JIcGuimigle's Braves Were Beaten,
' but They Gave the Phillies an
Argument for It.
THERE WERE EXCITING STAGES,
But Glcason Was Too Troublesome for the
Boys aud King Was Hit Hard
at Times.
AXSON GOES FURTHER TO TIIETEOXT.
.Eerolts of the Grand Circnit Races rol Tnrf Events
General Sporting Xews.
There is at least one sure thing to
bet on in baseball, and that is that
no League team can win
everyday. Thisbeingso,
we needn't for one mo
ment expect our sluggers
to become an extraordi
nary exception. They
didn't win yesterday, of
course; but they have
done nobly since they
came from the East, yes
terday's being only their
third defeat ia 12 games.
This is excellent work,
and could it be sustained
for a season, why, all the
cranks in Pittsburg would
be in ectacics. But no
such wonderful work is expected, and there
fore the defeat of yesterday can be comfort
ably oerlooked.
WAS VERY EXCITING.
But the game, asid-s from the victory or
defeat feature of it, was one of the most ex
citing ever seen on a local ground. In
many respect", it tfa poorly played, but
then the bad playing was on both sides, and
this evened matters up so nicely that not
until the last man in the ninth inning, on
the Pittsburg side, was out was hope, and
good liipc of victory, entirely lost. Just
fancvit! Shngart it as the last man at bat
and had he made a good ing'e hit he would
have scored two runs, and that would have
made the score 7 to G in favor of the home
player, lint he struck out.
Prom the start to fmiU the contest was
nip and tuck and everybody was excited.
Certainly the real cranks were seldom on
their seats, but the visitors alwavs had a
little better of the argument. Gleasou was
a nridli that our sludgers couldn't unravel,
and King was hit tery hard just at oppor
tune moments. True, King's support wasn't
e.y good, but that ot Glcason's was
considerably worse, so that King
had no reason to complain on
that point. Had it been possible
for the home players to win on errors they
would hac done so, as the Phillies gave
them even- chance. And it was this error
making that caused all tre fun. and the
1,!H0 people present enjoved it.
SUUOAKT'S LITTLE Ft"3IBLH
In the first inning the visitors scored n
run. Shujrart fumbled Hamilton's grounder
and Hamilton reached first safely. He
stole second, aided by a passed ball, and
scored on Thompson's sacrifice aud ilyers
single.
Our sluggers tied the score in the second
inning. Hanlon made a single, and Hamil
ton's fumble sent Hanlon to second. A
fracrifiec hit each by Lally and Ileiily scored
Ilaulou.
In the third inning the Phillies made two
runs on a single by Gleason, Hamilton's
sacrifice, Thompson's single, a passed ball,
and Kind's ild throw past second bise.
In the fifth the homo talent scored again
onIteill's base on balls, Corkhill's single
nnd King's sacrifice. The liomc players tied
the score aoaln In the sixth on a good single
each bj- Miller and Beekiey and a sacrifice
by Hanlon. Hut in the s.ecoud half of the
inning the Quaker City lads also scored a
inn and that gave them the lead again. A
single bj Clements and a triple by Dele
linnty to right Held ga e them the run.
In the eighth innmg a fumble by Roilly, a
single bv Mayer, an error by Miller, a sacri
fice by Gleason and a single by Hamilton
netted tw o moi c runs for the visitors,.
A VERY LIVELY STAGE.
In the ninth Hanlon led off nnd got his
base on balls Lally made a single, Rcilly
flted out and Coi khill made a single to right
nnd Thompson fumbled the ball, Hanlon
scoring ana Lally reaching third. King's
sacrifice hit scored Lallyand excitement was
now high. Corkhill had reachea third on
Jjilly's scoring. Bicihauer knocked a
grounder to Milnoicand the latter threw
the ball wildtofln-t, but Corkhill did not
score on the error, although Bierbauer was
afe. Tho latter" stole second and Shngart
w as at the plate, but he struck out and tho
argument was ended. The score:

HAL POINTER BEATEN:
The Famous Facer Suddenly Breaks Down
at Philadelphia and Is Defeated by
Johnston All Pools on the Race Are
Declared Off; Causing Much Kicking.
PniLADELPniA, Sept. 2. ijwcial. One of
the largest crowds that has patronized the sulkies
for some time In this vicinity w cnt to Point Breeic
this alternoon to see the grand circuit cracks. The
star attraction was the free-for-all pace, nal
Pointer, Johnston and Yolo Maid were to meet
again. Of course it was any odds on nal Pointer,
but this aras his Waterloo, and the phenomenal
gelding suffered the second defeat of his career. It
was not the pace so much as a mysterious attack
which took his speed away and made him so sick
that he was unfit to continue in the race. Yolo Maid
had much the same difficulty and was drawn earlier
in the fight, so that Johnson had a walk-over for
first money. An unfortunate feature of the affair
was the action of the Judges In declaring all bets
off alter the fourth heat. Bath Geers and C. J.
Hamlin said the pacer had not 'Jjeen Just right, but
tnev liotied he would be good enough to win in
spile or that. Johnston made UAL go the first in
1:12, lowering the track record, and this Has too
muth for him In his condition There was tu sign
of fraud, and turfmen like Bob Stewart, of Kansas
City, who liavc been betting against Hal Pointer
all along, hoping to catch him off. feel greatly ag
grieved. Bets on the fourth , heat, where Hal
pointer died away and was clearly unable to win,
nhould also hare stood, and there is quite an up

to Take Their Chances.
MEREDITH EVIDENTLY INDORSED.
A Claim Made That the Knights of lator
Have Been Defeated.
FOSTER'S STATEMENT OP THE TROUBLE
rSPEClAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washikgtox, Sept. 2. The action of
Secretary Poster in allowing the discharged
plate printers of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing to have their names placed "on
the "chance roll" of the bureau, while ap
parently a victory of the Knights of Labor,
is said by the Treasury officials to bo really
a victory of Chief Meredith over the organi
zation. Several months ago Captain Meredith
discharged the men for "cause," which was
explained to mean drunkenness, insubordi
nation, eta The influence of the Knights
of Labor was brought to bear, and a demand
made for the immediate reinstatement of
the men. Captain Meredith refused to com-
ply with the demand, and the .controversy
was carried to Secretary Foster, who took
it as a legacy from the Windom administra
tion. Then ensued a long and bitter quarrel be
tween the discharged men aud the Knights
of Labor on the one hand and the Treasury
Department and the Federation of Labor
on the other. . The latter organization has a
large membership among the employes of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and
they were determined to prevent the rein
statement of the members of the rival or
ganization. FOSTBB IK A HOLE.
Secretary Foster was placed in an em
barrassing position, and especially as the
Knights threatened that unless their de
mands were complied with they would
make war in an official and direct way upon
the Republican' party in Ohio. After sev
eral months of controversy six of the seven
men discharged by Captain Meredith have
been placed on the "chance roll," and the
long and bitter fight is apparently ended for
the present at least.
Captain Meridith now feels that ho is Jus
tified in claiming tho outcome of the fight to
be an evidence that he and not the Knights
of Labor is rhnnins the Bureau of Engrav
ing nnd Printing. Tho placing of the names
of tile discharged men unon the "Chance
roll'' does not mean that they are now em
ployed bp the bureau, but simply that they
tako their places with tne long list ot appli
cants who have a "chance" whenover vacan
cies occur. There are a large number of
names on the "chanco roll" now, and ac
cording to tho statement of Captain Mere
dith, it may be a week or it may bo sit
months before there will be vacant places
for the restored men.
THE MEW APOLOGIZE.
Captain .Meredith is. disinclined to make a
public statement of tho reasons that led the
department to give Hhe discharged men an
other chance, but it is well known that ho
made the recommendation upon which Sec
retary Foster's action is based. What is not
generally known, however. Is tho fact that
before the names of the discharged men
wero placed on the "chance" roll they
agreed tbat their discharge was justified by
their actions, and promised hereafter to
abide faithfully by the rules of the bureau.
This is why Chief Meredith feels war
ranted in claiming that he lias demonstrated'
clearly that he Is managing the affairs of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing entirely
independent of dictation from, the K. of L.
Secretary Foster evidently isTery much
gratified tollave settled the controversy on
a basis that gives the discharged men
another chance, while at the same time
the action of Chief Meredith in discharging
them is indorsed. The Secretary, being an
independent officer, feels free to speak his
mind, and he does not hesitate to give oat
the impression that the interference of the
Knights in the affairs of the Department
was rebuked by him and what he regards as
their unreasonable demand refused.
STATEMENT OF FOSTER.
IVhcn asked to-day for an explanation of
his action in permitting the names of the
dischnrged men to go upon tho "chance"
roll, tho Secretary said: "Seven men wero
discharged by Captain Meredith, chief of
the bureau, for good 'and sufficient cause.
They were members of tho Knights of Labor
and that organization demanded an investi
gation of Captiin Meredith's action, with
the otiject, of course, of having tho men re
instated. The demand was refused.
"Then after that there had been much
correspondence and several hearings, to say
nothing of a full airinc of the subject in the
newspapers. I offered to waive all the
questions in dispute as to the action of the
Chief of the Bureau in discharging tho men
and to allow them to go on the "chance"
roll; that is, to be placed on the same foot
ing with other applicants for places in the
bureau, in fact to treat the men as orignal
applicants for places, as if there had teen
no discharges or no controversy whatever.
POWDERLT'S LETTER.
"This offer was also declined, and then
came Mr. Powderly's open letter, and, as you
know, the alleged threats of political inter
ference. The Knights of Labor, therefore,
did formally decline to accept my proposi
tion, but the discharged men, as individuals,
did not, for six out of tho seven have ap-
Ellod for the privilege and the privilego
as been granted of having their names
placed on the 'chance roll.'
"The seventh man, Mr. Jordan, has not yet
applied, and I don't think he will. Thus you
see tbat three months after tho Knights of
Labor organization formally declined my
proposition, looking to tho ultimate rein
statement of the discharged employes, tho
men themselves acting in an individual
canacitv. agreed to it. That is all I have to
say on the subject.'
JOBDAX BULED OUT.
Jordan, tho one man of soven who tho
Secretary thinks will not ask to be rein
stated, is the man who was most persistent
and loud in boasting of the power of the
Knights to control the affairs of the bureau,
and indulgingin threats of political boycott
ing in Ohio. Tho Secretary's feeling of con
fidence that Joidac will not apply
to be reinstated probably grows out
of his knowledge that Jordan
feels sure his application , would
not be granted. Secretary Foster is greatly
gratified that the names of the dischnrged
men nro now on the "chance roll" as a re
sult of their own act, and Chief Meredith is
even more so, for ho evidently feels that If
his action in discharging them had not beon
indorsed by the Secretary, the administra
tion would now be looking about for a new
Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Print

when ho win knocked down by u car nud in

SELECTING THE STATE HOHE'BITE.
The Commission Appointed by the Gov
ernor Arrives for JXhat Purpose,
The commission appointed by the Gov
ernor o inquire into tho suitability of a
location for a State Homcf or the Chronic In
sane arrived in the city last night. It is
composed of the Don. 1L M. Deckert,
Wharton Barkor, IO. Storm, of Jtunroe; J.
M. Reynolds, or Bedford, and Dr. Curwln, of
Wnrren. The last Legislature .appropriated
$500,003 for the erection of this Home, Four
months is the time allotted the commission
in which to make a 'selection, and two have
expired.
'lhe Commission hnsbeen looking over the
eastern end of tho State and came on hero
at tho solicitation of committees of citizens
from Unlontown, McKeesport and of this
city. Yesterday nnd Tnesuay was spent In
the neighborhood of Unlontown and the
Flttsburg committee consists of the
following gentlemen: Robert Plt
calrn, Thomas 31. Marshall, J. MV
Gnffey, Dr. E. A. Wood, Rob Elliott
Dr. C. C. Wilov. T. M. Marshall, of
Allegheny; Mnjor Morelnnd, C. F. McKenna,
J. U. Lnrkin, Dr. W. H. Daly. Colonel Hud
son, J. S. Scully, Jndgo Mellon and It. D.
Mc Joimlgle. The members of the commit
tee will take the commissioners on a trip up
the Ligonier Valley this morning in a special
train tnrnished by Mr. Pitcairn. New Flor
ence nnd other points west oi Altoona will
be visited.
There is a strong expectation that the
Home will be established irrWestern Penn
sylvania. This section of the State is worse
off in tho mutter of accommodation for tho
Insane than elsewhere in It. With only
about half a million less population than the
Eastern end this section has but two hoa-
Sitals, while the East has four, namely,
orristcwnl llnrrisburg, Danville and
Blockley, near Philadelphia. So much are
Dixmont and 'Warren overcrowded that
this city and Allegheny arc between
them taking caro of 400 insane people 'n
their Poor Farm, which rlghtfnllv shouldbe
provided for by the State. The 250 insane
persons which this city takes care of costs
about $3 per week each, while the amount In
the East per capita i3 about one-half that.
There is hardly ndanbt that when the com
mission is acquainted with the necessity for
the establishment of a Home in 'tho Wesc
that it will recommend the selection of a
site this side the mountains.

his choice in spite of the Czar's advocacy of
the Monoongrln Princess.
According to the Russian canonical law,
consanguinity is an obstacle to marriage,
but the objection will probably be overcome
by the consent of the Holy Synod and by the
issue of a ukase, which Is as powerful as a
