The Bostons Win Tiro Gaines and the CM- cagos One and theContest Is Exciting. THE TEAMS ALMOST TIEDFOR FIRST. Brooklyn ISmI.t Downs the I'hilli-s Baseball Kevis cf General Interest. Our slucgcrs put np another t somewhat rocky panic yesterday, and as a (result the Cincinnati Hams were the victors. As the Hon. Arlie Latham,. artist and ball player, remarked dur ing the co'.i-st, baseball is a vcrv pwuliar thing. The fact stated bv -Mr. Latham -was fully'dcnion stratcd yesterday after noon at Jixpositionllirk. At times it looked as if the home players could not Tery well lose, anil at other times it seemed im linssihle for themito win. f J ft At some stages of the s;ame the playing of the local talent was of the most brilliant kind, iridic tli.it of the chaps from Cincinnati was quite the oppose. And then again mat tervBould be quite reversed, and so the contest went on. and the 862 spectators were tcpt on pins and needles until the winning run was scored. QUITi: A LIVELY GAME. Considering that the contesting -teams in the came were tailenders and also that the season has just about expired, there was considerable enthusiasm and interest in the contest The truth is that a nip and tuck contest such as it was could not fail to arouse a lively enthusiasm. Twice the home team went to the front by one run and then the visitors tied the score, aud iinally scored the winning run. IS.-tfil-.i in pitched very well, but his col leagues made mistakes just at times when ihey proved very disastrous, and under these circumstances Mark was not in the best of humor. Hut be held well together although his surroundings were very jdis couragiiie. Shugart put up a most brilliant game. He not only stopped a number of citremilv hot grounders in a remarkable manner, but he made a one-handed catch of alinei from Keenan's bat that sent the crowd wild. He also thumped out two three-bagners that counted. Wou'J that there were j few more little great men like Shugart. In the sixth inning Corkhill was hit on his lelt jaw bv a pitched ball, which so dis abled hi'rn that he had to retire and Maul took his place. The blow was an ugly one, "but Manager McGunnigle stated last even ing that Corkhill is not seriously hurt. The ai-cident was unfortunate in more more ways thau one, as Maul committed an error that allowed the score to be tied. Cianc pitched very effectively, and the home players failed to do much with his de livery. He had great speed and his aim was tolerably accurate. , STAKTEl) IX LIKE DEMONS. In the second half of the first inning the visitors started off as if they were going to wipe up the diamond wtth our sluggers. 3IcPhee banged out a triple to center field almost as oon as he walked up to the plate. Haldwin, however, steadied down, and Mc Phee was in iftck to score on the sacrifice of Hallican. In the third inning the visitors came acain for two runs. Crane got his base on halls, and was forced out at second bv McPhee. Latham also got his base on balls, and a tw o-bacger by Halligan to right field scored JlcPhec and Latham w tut to third. Hanlon muffed Holliday's fly and Latham si-ored. Both Hallignn aud Holli dav were thrown out at the plate. The sixth inning came and then the local talent commenced to do business. Shugart led oil with a thrc-bagger to center licld and t-eored on Miller'tt sacrifice hit. Miller was safe at first on account of Smith's wild throw. IleckUy forced Miller out at sec ond and Hanlon cot his base on balls. Lally fouled out to Keenan and lteilly sur prised e eryboi' br whacking the ball to left fence for three bags, and he scored on an error bj Lathairil ISockley and Hanlon, of course, 'tallied on Itcilly's'hit. The four runs sent the homo players one ahead. TOOK THE LEAD AGAIN'. Hut in their half the visitors made two runs, and that placed them in front acja'n. .Alter Halligan had struck out, Holliday got his base on balls and reached second on a ihl pitch." He gut to third on a sacrifice by lteilly and scored on Hanlon's muff of Iveenan's fly. Keenan got to second on the muff aud scored on a single by Smith. In the seventh inningjhe home players went to the front acnin. llierbaucr led off and got to first on balls. Then Sluurart followed with another corking three-bagger to right field. Miller went ont at first and Jleckley banged out a double to center, sending Shugart walking home. In the eighth inning the home players were one ahead. After Holliday was out John llcilly got his base on "balls and Shugart bv a remarkable catch retired Keenan. lteilly then started to steal sec ond aud Miller made a wild throw, and Maul fumbled the ball until it got past him, allowing Ueilly to score. In the ninth inning Crane's fly was caught by Shugart, and then followed four little singles in succession by McPhcc, L-itbam. Halligan and Ilollitlay which enabled the first named to score the winning run.

Interesting Pointers About the University of Pennsylvania Football Team, rniunELPiiiA, Sept. 29. On Thursday at 10 a. m. another summer vacation will liavo be come a thing of the past, for at that hour "Old Pcnn" will throw open wldo her por tals and welcome to her midst her 1,500 fol lowers. But her athletes are the ones to call attention to. This being tho football season it claims the first attention. When Captain Kdar II. Church, "as, arrived in Philadel phia on Mon J.i j the first thing lie did was to post a notice in the dressing rooms of tho team to repor on the Unit ersity grounds for preliminary practice on the following Thursday. Not many turned up and they were mainly new men. However, they were put right to uork to see what thevaremnde of. Of labt year's team Thayer. Church, Camp, Vail, Adams, Thornton, 'Griffiths and Bow cr will return. Darragh, the big first baseman, hassignlfled his Intention of try ing foi tho team, and he ought to make a h.triiug;;unrd. Sjphcr, a law student who played on the team tour j ears ago, will also be a candidate. Just now lio olie seems willing to undertake the management of the team. A. D. Whit ing, who has mainured the baseball team for thiee years, unil who nould make a very eflicient manager, was wanted for the place, but he declined. Cnptnin Chnrcb is acting manager now,und is making many dates for gnines. Among tho entries for this yeararet King, ox-pitcher or Princeton, and Kalboch, from UrMims College, also a twlrler; Abbott, Ber jrcn. Ilavne, Leiper, Davis and Carmody. Field and track athletics are something the University has quite neglected of late years. For the last two years & arthmore has won tho championship cup of the State Inter collegiate Athletic Association. There Is no ov.cnso for this. Penrisylvania has men enough to supply her baseball teams and still make a creditable showing on the track. Although the University had a strong crew last year, it is: deemed best to drop rowing lroni the roll of sports fora year or so. Sloro Warrants Sworn Ont. ChicAOO, Sept. 29. More warrants were sworn out for bookmakers and jockeys at Garfield Park to-day. Al Hankins and Sid jrcllie, bookmakers, were charged with gambling, while jockeys Monolian, Allen, Pitzmorris, Irving and Keith ate said to have violated the city oidm-ince prohibiting racing within 400 feet of a public boulevard. Without waiting forhe serving of. the war rants all furnished ball in tho sum of $K) each. Their cases will bo beard on Octo ber!). 2Vext Tnesilay's Pports. There is every prospect of some first-class sport at tho field day of tho Allegheny Ath letic Associition to bo held at Exposition Park next Tuesdav. Tho entries are good nnd the mcdnls are on exhibition at Gro pan's store JIarket street. The medals are of the finest quality and doubtless there will be some exciting contest, lor them. WHY HE WILL WAIT. iMcGunnigle's Reason for Not Signing Just Now ior Next Year." HE WANTS TO KNOW THE OFFICERS. Tho local Protests Concerning tho Eecent Chicagoames May Not Be Insisted Upon. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT For the first time since he came to this city. Manager McGunnigle talked definitely yesterday about his intentions for next year as far as managing the Pittsburg ball team is concerned. The question of a man ager of the team is probably one of the most vital to the Directors, and of the most in teresting to the public. Mr. McGunnigle was asked the question: "When will you decide as to whether or not you will sign to manage the Pittsburg Club next year?" In reply he taid: "Well, now, I would rather not talk about the matter just now but as you press for an answer I may as well state that I will not decide until tho directors of the club hold their annual meet ing and elect their officers for next year. Ot course I want to stay in Pittsburg if I can make satisfactory arrangements and if I cannot I suppose I'll go somewhere else." THE JIANAOEP.'S EEASON WHY. The manager was asked why he wanted to have the officers elected for next year be fore he decided about staying here, but he declined to say. Subsequently, a friend of his said: "Why McGunnigle will not be in clined to remain here as manager if Presi dent O'lfcil is not re-elected to his present position. Mr. O'Neil has fought bravely for McGunnigle and the two now under stand each other thoroughly; in fact so thoroughlythat McGunnigle feels confident that he could be manager of the team for many seasons without having any trouble with the President and directors. McGun nigle wants to be thoroughly unhampered next season as he is determined to have a .first-class team here if he is to be manager. It is quite true, therefore, that he prefers to wait until after the annual meeting of the club before he resigns." One or two of the stockholders were spoken to on the matter, but they refused to commit themselves to any statement. One prominent director said: "We want McGunnigle to stay with us and I think he will be with us. The truthis I do not anticipate any change of officers at all. Since McGunnigle has token hold he has been a money maker." The annual meeting will likely be held in December, but between then and now there may be a tact understanding arrivee at re garding the manager's case, so that while in Chicago he can look after the interests of the club there during the winter. MAY -OT PKOTESr. Manager McGunnigle expects to go to the meeting of the League directors, which is to be held at Philadelphia Friday or Satur day Mr. O'Xeil has the duty of selecting and he is inclined to name Saturday, as on that day it may be decided what team has won the pennant. If that question is settled before the League meeting commences Brother O'Neil does not intend to insist on his protest. Manager McGunnigle yestcr pay secured affidavits from several plovers relative to the trouble with McQuaid at Chicago. Yesterday afternoon President O'Xeil also had along conversation with Pitcher King. As a result the former is disposed to think that King will pitch for the Pitts burg club next year. King's case is a very simple one. He said yesterday: "I will sign with no club until" the season is over. There is plenty of time and I may be with the Pittsburg club next year. I am merely waitins to see what are the chancca all round." A HOVEL CONTEST, Two local Hatchers Sljrn Articles to Kill and Dress Calves.

Arson's hold of the pennant does not look so firm now. IIahlox's errors yesterday were of the most excusable kind. The Bostons and New Torks will play two games this afternoon. There Is a marked absence of brotherly love in the Cincinnati team. Rais prevented the Association games at Washington and Philadelphia yestordny. To-dat's game at Exposition Park will be the last championship contest in Pittsburg this year. Harry Gult. of Etna, and J. V. Gessner, of the Twcntv-fourth ward, will run a foot race or 100 yards on the Soutbsldo Saturday, for $100. There will bo a meeting of tho Pittsburg Football Club this evening at tho Natato Tlutn rooms, Duquesno way, at 7:20 sharp. A full attendance is requested. Joe Yousa offers to run Dan Crowley, of tho Labclle Steel Works, a foot 1 ace of from ono to three miles for $50 or $100 a side. Young will be at this office this evening, be tween 8 and 9 o'clock, prepared to make a match. The Rutgers College football team, which is being trained by Captain Brett, will open tho season on Saturday at Princeton with the team from that college. They have a number of challenges on hand, and hope to give a a good account of themselves. TnEOrmsbv Hill Gun Club will hold a llvo bird shoot on Saturday next on its grounds, head of Thlrtv-foiirth street, Soitthside. Shooting will begin at 2 r. x. sharp. Bo gardus rales to govern. All local shooters are rcspoctfully Invited. The club has mado arrangements to have a large number of birds on hand aud a good time is expected. Os Saturday last the Wilmerding Ath letics and the Jeannette Grays crossed bats on tho grounds of tho latter. Tho game re sulted in a victory for tho Wilmerding Ath letics by the score of 5 to 2. The feature of the game was tho fine pitching of West, who struck out 13 men, and gave the Jeannettes four scratch lilts. Tho Wilmerdings out played the Jeannettes at every point and therefore won the game. A srECiAL from Boston says: Mike Kelly was sued to-day for 17 daj s' board at tho In ternational Hotel, but he easily satisfied the court that he hnd paid his bill, and he was discharged. It seems that the former man ager of the hotel had been arrested on the charge of embezzlement, but It was not known how much monej- he had-etolen or what guests had paid. A charge was found against Kelly's name for 17 days, and he wns asked to settle. Ho declared that he had paid the former manager, and refused topav a second time. In court to-day he testified: "That's right.' I lodged there about 17 days, but the price wns $1 50 a dav instead of $2. I paid Reagan $40 on my retnrn frDiu Balti more, $25 tor the room and$15 for some meals I bad during my stay at the hotel." After argumont by both lawyers Judge Ely sold: "Enter judgment for tho defendant." Kelly went off pleased with the decision. It being his first case In our courts, and "Kol" thinks that Judge Ely would make a good umpire. SCHOOLS OF SINGING SHAD. The Wonderful Fish Have Appeared In Iower Delaware Baltimore American. Tlie singing shad has been seen and heard in Lower Delaware Bay. It hasn't been seen in large quantities, of course, for the appearance of this odd fish in these waters is a rare occurrence. They come in schools, emitting musical notes as they swim along. The sounds they make are soft and some thing like those of an reolian horn. This sound cannot be made with any effect ex cept when the shad travel in schools. The singing of a single shad is too feeble to be heard above the ripple of the water. Only an expert fisherman can tell when he has caught one of he finny songsters.' Old fishermen regard the musical shad as Jirizes, and do not send them to market un ess thev are paid a very high price for them. It is estimated that they travel in schools of about 500. Their singing is pleasant at first, but soon grows monot onous, owing to the fact that it is a constant repetition of the same few sounds. Whether many of these peculiar fish ever go up the Delaware or move on New York and mingle with the plain everyday Hudson River shad is not known. They lose their identity when they get in with other fish, and it is doubtful if they ever sing alone. WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO. A Cynical Doctor Dismisses an Anxious Lover'Wlth Some Statistics. New York Sun. 3 Said the cynical doctor to the worried lover, who consulted him about the woman he feared was too fragile for this world: Fragile? Ever test her fragility and that of ali delicate, dainty womankind? Unless Ehe is a hopeless invalid she will eat one pound of beef, mutton or some other flesh every dav. That is 303 pounds of flesh a vearj and in the 60 years she will doubtless live she will thus consume 21,900 pounds of meat. She will in the same time consume 21,700 pounds of bread and vegetables She will drink by the time she is rendy for your touching inscription on her monument 175 hogsheads ot water, tea, coffee and wine. These figures do not include the 500 pounds of butter, the lourhogsheadsofsug.tr, and the Lord only knows how many hundred weight of oysters, ice cream and candy. Think of your affinity in connection with these figures and don't worry about her being fragile. A GIANT AND STILL GB0WING. Maryland lias a SIxteeu-Year-Old Boy Who Is C Feet 4 1-2 Inches High.

Those who rave with increasing bitter ness against women who smoke, and who declare the habit to be ill-bred and fast, have no idea of the women they are con demning. The Empresses of Russia and Austria, the Queen of Italy and the Queen Regent of Spain, as well as their Majesties of Portugal, Roumania and Servia and the Countess of Paris are all ardent lovers of tobacco, of which they are also thoroughly good judges. Perhaps the most inveterate smoker among the royal ladies is the Em press ot Austria, who consumes from 30 to 40 cigarettes a day. Ibe Telegraph Bodies Amalgamated! St. LOUIS, Sept 20.

From the territory embraced in the Pittsburg Conference the Erie , Conference was organized in 1830, at Wheeling, W. Va.; then, again, in 1849, at Brownsville, Pa., the West Virginia Conference was formed, which was ordered by the General Conference in 1848, the highest legal body ot the church, meeting once every four years. There was also one more division in 1870, when the East Ohio Con ference was formed. The first session of the ministers ever held in Uniontown was in 1830, Bishop Soule presiding Sixteen years later it met again at the same place, and its next session was in 1880. This week's gathering of the ministers will be of great importance to the town, as there will be more than 225 of them, which will mean the death of at least 100 chickens for the five days spent here. Besides the great influence exerted in various religious movements, a prominent feature will be the election of delegates to the General Con ference. Of course the presiding elders are all candidates, and so is the editor of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate. Johnstown Shows Its Gratitude. Johnstown, Sept 29.

' A FECTJLIAB WILL DISPUTE. It Involves a Question of Charity or Indem nity in Kelation to the Flood. Johnstown, Sept. 29. Special. Dur ing nn argument before an auditor in regard to the estate of Mrs. Matilda Doran to-day a question of peculiar relation to the flood came up. Arthur Doran, the husband, had willed a house and lot in Cambria to his two daughters, Anna and Ellen. He died be fore the flood, which washed the buildings away. She received 900 from the Flood Commissioners for the loss sustained. 3Irs. Doran has since died, but the money re ceived remains intact and is in the bank. There are five heirs to Mrs. Doran's estate, but the two daughters claim this flood money as a separate bequest The claim of their attorney is that the Flood Commissioners in paying this out did not consider it as an act of charity, but was in the nature of an indemnity for the prop erty lost, and in proof of this he says that Mrs. Doran was not in need of charity, as she lived out of the limits of the flood. The other heirs, through their attornay, claim that this money was received by their mother as a charitable gift, and that as heirs of Mrs. Doran they are entitled to a share of it. H. R. Rose will consider the question as to whether or not this was called charity, and will present his report to the next term of court. County Commissioners In Council. Lancaster, Sept. 29.

Arrived at the grounds, the boat comes to anchor in water not very deep. The floats are adjusted so that the hook will hang about six inches from the bottom. The menhaden are cut in two, as the blood very quickly attracts the sharks, and carefully placed upon the hooks, the point of each being well covered. The end of the line is made fast to something in the boat; and the sharking begins. If one is so fortunate as to have anchored near a school of sharks, mnch activity is soon noticed among the boats. They begin to bob up and down, or to move oft in the slow and heavy manner which indicates that there is a large fish at the hook. Allow the shark to have his own way, and to play with the hook for a few moments, in order that you may bo sure that he has had time to get the bleeding fish well into his mouth. Then give a strong jerk. If you have hooked him you will soon know if, for a lively scene will follow. Tho shark is a very gamy fish, and expresses very vigorously his dislike of changing his element. If he is of good size, from four to six feet long, it would probably be impos sible for you to get him in alone, and you will be very glad of one or two more pairs of hands to take hold with you: and if now it shonld chance, as it not infrequently does, that one or two of your companion's should almost at the same moment hook a fish, there will be seen about as much life, not to say excitement and confusion, on board as one often witnesses. The water foams about the boat. Lines are intertaugled, fishermen slip and fall in their efforts to' board the sharks, and the sharks that may be in already flap about and snap their rows of white teeth together in n way very sujjgestiveof alost leg should you happen to fall overboard. I once knew of a shark, snapping at his captor, to take off the heel of his boot. A thump on the head with a belaying pin or large club is all that' will bring the shark to t6rms. , Muzzling the Mexican Press. City of Mexico, Sept. 29. Persecutions against the press have commenced again. Several journalists have been thrown into the dungeons of the Belena, and more will probably follow. The assertions that the Stale ot Chiapas is in a revolutionary condi tion and in a bad fix gentrally are wholly untrue. A Tug With 9x Mon Goei Down. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Sept 29.

Wagner in Paris was conducted by police batons, and supported by battalions.
