"jMp v . w' THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FPJDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1891 " . -- TO Everything Eeady for the Inaugu ral Games of the Local Football Season. A HITCH ABOUT ADVANCE MONEY. "ew Tork Club Directors Begin Their Investigation About the Ball Games at Boston. ALLERTOX POWXS THE GREAT NELSON. An Immense Cnmd Sees the Great Eace General Ercrtins Sews of the Day. The championship season of the Western Pennsylvania Football League will open to morrow. All the clubs are anxious for the rtart, and great preparations are being made for all the games that are scheduled for the opening day. Judging from the exhibition games that hare been played lately, all the clubs are very evenly matched, and the prospects arc that the contests will be of a very close and exciting nature. The season opens in this city by the meet ing of the two local clubs the Pittsburgs and Bloomfields. It would be a difficult matter to spot the-winner in this game, as. Pittsburg played a very close game with the champion McDonald team- last Saturday, while the Bloomfield did the same with the McKeesport team, who ran neck and neck with McDonald for the championship last season. The game will take place at Kecrea tion Park, where the ground has been put in good order and all arrangements made for the contest. The teams have not yet been announced, but will appear in to-morrow's Dispatch. Secretary Macpbcrson will referee the game. TIIEIK FIRST APrHARAXCE. Xew Castle will make their first appear ance in a League game by meeting the Me Donald team on the cround of the Mans field Baseball. Club. The champions since changing their ground Have ajso cnangea their name to that of the McDonald-Mansfield Rovers. Xew Castle claims to have a first-class team, but can scarcely hope to overcome their renowned opponents. The third gam; will be that between the McKeesport and Homestead clubs, which will be played on the ground of the latter. The McKcesports have much the same team as last year, but Homestead has been greatly strengthened by the addition of a number ot last year's "Uraddock club, and now claim to have a pennant winning team. A close same should accordingly be the re sult Presiden Horn, of the League, will officiate as releree in the McDonald-New Castle game, while Mr. John C Smith, of the Pittsburg club, will act in a like capacity in the McKeesport-Homestead contest. The Rugby players in and about the city arc also getting ready for action. Yester day Mr. Brainard, of the A. A, A., received word that the Cleveland team will be here on the 31st inst. A VERV STRONG TKASI. The Cleveland team, it may be said, will likely be a strong one this year. It is likely that a game, or probably two gamea, will be arranged between the A. A. A. and E. E. Gym teams to take place within a fc.v davs. Both teams claim to be much stronger thi3 year than they hav; ever been, and a con test or two between them wil! be exceed ingly interesting. One thing is certain, tiz., that there will be plenty of teams to visit Pittshurg this year if the local team can give them dales. Of course, it is al most certain that the Princeton Preps will bo here, and the local team think the Preps will be beaten this season at Pittsburg. There is a desir? to have a picked team meet the Preps when thev come, but the A. A. A. team are quite satisfied to tackle the I'rincctonuns themselves. It may be that a picked team w ill face the Crescents if t,hey come, as they are a very strong lot. 3Iay Chance Ills Flans. ruiLADELriiiA, Oct. 8. A reoorter met Dnviii Taclicco, an ex-University of Tonn sritania man In the Continental Hotel to day. Mr. r.iehoco has just returned from Xc'r Yoi k. He said- "I was with Captain McCluns, of the Yale team to-day, and he said he had changed his mind about playinp the Yale-Unlvcr-tty of Peimsj lvania match in Xcw York. He said lie wonld play it In Philadelphia instead." Aa effort was made at Unlveisity head quarters to verify this statement, but none of the Quaker athletes or managers had as J ct iicard nnylning to that effect. MORE FEOM CHICAGO. Anson and His Team Advised to Get Even 'With the T.eaU3. Chicago, Oct. 8. The grand pennant rob bery of w Inch bluff old Captain Anson was so recently made the victim, will doubtless bear truit of a decidedly bitter flavor. There are a pood many possibilities which may arise from the trickery of the Eastern clubs, and the least talked of because of the bold ness of the idea is that Chicago may Jump to the American Association. The Chicaijoelub ha- beenjjrossly wronged nndopeniy robbed of its Jut dues. For less cause than this, Cleveland left the League in 1"5; for lc cause than this, ttrookrvn left the Association in l.sn. -Tames Hart would be Justified, most em phatically, if hcand his club stepped out of thooipanization which permits Much trick cty. And the question which arises and confronts the stockholder, is "Would it pnv'" Would It pay Well, wouldn't it? Maybe Captain Anscn and his men wouldn't draw in every Association town. Maybe the local livalry of it. Louis wouldn't make hrr peo ple turn out by thousands to see the Browns I uattle with fie Colts. Jla-.-be th mrniiw in I Milwaukee onlv 100 miles fr.-nn home wouldn't paj bis returns over expenses, and maybe the crowds wouldn't bwaim to the parks everyw here else. Would the 25 eents admission pay in Chi-c-a;ru It uouid cover expenses, anvway: but the tlub could charge JO cents at home, as the Boston Beds did most of this year. And would the othor clnbs of tho Associa tion dniw tieli in Chicago Tr-ey wonld certain!- draw much better than Boston or "ei York w ill for vcr.rs to como. The Bos ton Beds, with Daffy and Fan-ell, would crowd rhs Southside paiks. while the St. Louis Browns would do quite as well. An Association club in Chicago, while Anson stayed in the League, would starve:an Asso ciation club, with Anson at its head, would roll iu money. WANT ADVANCE MONEY. Local riayers Itcraso to Sign Until They Get a Cash Supply. The local ball players arc not going to be so easily signed as was anticipated. At present tho club directors are pulling each other's hair to such an extent that one man hardly daro take upon hiiusclftha signing of a player. The players want advance money, and none can be given until the dhectors have another confab next week. Both Mark Baldwin and Connie Mack talked quite fnnkly about the matter yesterday, li.ililw in vaid: I ba e told President O'Xeil that I am icady tostgu for next (.cason at tho same terms under which I signed last spring; that is, 1 want the sirno salary and same advance money. I won't sign until I get it and the truth'is I don't care whether I sign with Pittsburg or not." Connie Slack stated plainly that each player should have advancn money: it was the svstein and he wanted the money before feigning. He ai-gned in lavor of a reasonable amount of advance money. The players generally aro demanding it, and as tar as custom and precedent is con cerned they have a right for it. The truth is that one or two of tilt prominent players think there will always be disruption iu tho local club owing to the baa feeling among the directors and tho utter lack of 'enow ledge that some of them have of base ball business. Because of this notion a J prominent piayer sam yesreruay nitcinoon: "Xot a good player in the country should como to Pittsburg if lie can join anv otner cl It l" f lie TaTU" r A- ?i r 1 V rf OEMS MORROW in Pittsburg are fast becoming known all over the country." 1HEY PLATED HONESTXT. "ew Tork Ball riayers Slake Aflldalts About the Boston Games. Sew York, Oct. 8. Tho Executive Com mittee of the New York Baseball Club met this morning to investigate tho charge or crooked playins on the part of tho New York club in the recent games with the Bos ton team. Messrs. J. W. Spalding and E. L. Toleott w ere the members In attendance. The play ers summoned and who appeared before the Executive Committee wero Daniel Richard son, William and John Ew Ing, Boger Connor. Arthur F. Clark, Amos Buslo and Menard Bucklov. These plavers all mado affidavits to tho effect that they had played honest ball with the Boston club, and denied the allegations of crookedness bv Manager Hart, of the Chicago club. Mr. Spalding said that the Evecutivo Committee would prepare and submit a report with recommendations to the full board or directors or the club at the meeting on Monday next. The players befoio tho Executive Committee were indig nant at the charges that they hadplaved poorly in order that the Boston team uight win. It was semi-ofliciallr stated that the play ers would be vindicated in the report of tho Exccntit e Committee. Whut Gnmbert Says. Ad Gumbert, the young East End gentle man, who has been pitching for the Chicago team this year, returned homo yesterday. He was looking extremely well and stated that not only Anson, but the entire team havo been feeling sore about not winning the pennant. Gumbort was quoted as mak ing the statement that tho American Asso ciation will have a stiong team In Chicago next t ear. He savs there is plenty ot money behind the proposed club. ALLERTON IS KING. The Speedy Son or Gay Bird Defeats tho Famous Nelson in tho Great Match Itace at Grand Ilapids About 20,000 Koe tho Contest Some Heavy Itettlng. Ghasi KAncs, Oct. 8. Allcrton is king. Fully 0,000 people saw- tho son oTJayBird wrest all claim to the title from Xclson In tho $10,000 race between tho two stallions on the fast Grand Bapids track to-day. It was a long way from an ideal racing day. Tho skj was overcast all the afternoon, and once or twice fugitive rain at ops found their way into the grounds. Tho weather was milder than yesterday, bnt still chilly enough to preclude any hope of recoi d-breaking time. The Hon. Daniel J. Campau, of Detroit, owner of the Chicago Horicnvm, acted as starter, with S. A. Browne, of Kalamazoo, C T. Beujemin, of Saginaw, and T. C. Webb, of Mason, Mich., were judge. B. W. Taylor, of Independence, la., A. R. Mungcr, of Detroit, and W. M. McKalson, of Bangor, Me., weie the timers. Don J. Leathers, the owner of Monbars, who had offered the puie, nri nounced to the big crowd that tho race would bo the greatest and most Important in the history of the turf, as it would be a battle to the finish between the two kings of the track. THE THRONG FAVORED HIM. The throng gave Nelson a shado tho best ofitinthe way of applause when the two stallions appeared, but Allerton was very decidedly the favoriti in the pools. Both hordes wero driven by their owners, and it was evident that Nelson had put himself through a rigid training to reduce weight. When the Maine stallion made his 2:10 rec ord on the Grand Bapids track recently the weight of his owner and driver was given as 1S3 pounds. When Starter Campau an nounced the weights of the two men after the horses were called for the first heat. Nelson was given as 170 pounds, and 20 pounds over tho regulation weight, and Williams 103 pounds, 15 pounds over weight, Allerton coquetted in the scoring, but the horses got aw ay in beautiful stylo on the fourth attempt, with Nelson closely hug ging the pole a head in advance. The pace was the sort that kills from tho start. The quarter was made in :32, with Nelson a length in advance and both horses trotting with the precision of wonderful pieces of mechanism. Around the half they swung with the same terrible pace, Nelson making it in 1:0j two open lengths In advance of Allerton. The Western stallion nan owed the rap before the quarter was reached, in l-Si ami then Williams gathered his deep-chested beauty iu hand for tho finish. ALT.KUTOS' MAKES A BREAK. But just as thej- swung into the stretch with Allerton at his rival's wheel, tho Inde pendence stallion went off his feet for an instant and the heat was practically decided right thero. Williams mado little effort to retain his length, lost but wisely saved his horse, while Nelson rushed under tho wlio w 1th that long, swinging stride which had never falteicd all the waj round, winning by an open length in 2:13. The crowd went crazy over tho resu't, but its roar distutbed the bookies very little, they promptly offer ing Nelson at $11 and Allcrton at $23. In the fecond heat, the twogotawayontho first trial. To tho three-quarter pole the heat was nearly a repetition of tue first. Williams still pla ycd aw aiting game, but hanging closer to the main horse's wheel than before. The one-quarter was driven in 32.; the second in 1:06, and the third in 1:11 V2. As they aw ting into the home stretch. Nelson swerved toward the middle of the course and faltcied for a moment. It was the beginning of the end. Inch by inch the Western horoo crept upon the great Eastern representative. At the distance pole Nel son saw his dire necessity and brought tho whip down upon bis horse sharply, hut tho latter was already going at his best stiide and both stallion and driver seemed to grow laint-heaitcd when SO yards from the wire. Alleiton made a marvelous finish within 50 feet of the judges' stand, gathering himself together tor a migntv cnortauu nasning East Nelson like a black Phantom, w inning y half a length in 2:HJi. The fickle crowd promptly yelled itself hoarse over Allerton, and NeNon dropped in the pools to $6. ANOTHER HEAT FOR ALLERTON. In the third the stalliona got away again like the twin pieces of a single machine. Nelson gave an exhibition of rash driving at the outset by showing his horse to tho front nt a terrific gait, taking the pole in the first turn. Tho one-quarter was made in Jti, as in the first heat, and one-half in l:Qj. Around the back stretch it was a procession. Nelson leading by half a dozen lengths, wli.Ie Williams sat back easily in his sulkey audheld Allerton well In hand. Before the third quarter was reached in 1:10, he had glided within fighting distance of his adver sary. Down the stretch he pulled uneven witn the Eastern horse by one of his phc uomenal burets of spoed. Nelson tapped his stallion coaxingly with the ribbons and then plied tho whip once more with despor ate ciniestness, but it was of no avail. The horse had been pumped out, and Allcrton trotted easily under the wire, w inning by an open length in 2:55. Xelson had learned a thing or two regard ing Allerton's staying qualities, and In the fourth heat he Held the Maine horse in check, the two making the quarter neck and neckin33JJ. They were head by head all the way home to thosttetch, and as far as appearances w put, it was tho prettiest beat ot the race The heat was mada in l.-07, and the three-quarter In 1:12. On tue stretch Allcrton again showed his superi ority and passed the grand stand leading bv an open length, w blch no one doubted he could have increased to four or five baa ho s.. desired, winning the heat and the race in 2:1(1,,. The huge crowd BROKE THROUGH THE FENCE and packed the trackabont Allerton and his owner in another attack of good-natured in sanity ,and to show their good will, hung garlands or blossoms on the Iowa King un til his back was almost wholly covered.

A Humor That He Will Tolnntnrily Leave the Presbvterlan Church. Rochester, Oct. 8. ISp'rfal. Great interest is felt here at the action to be taken by the Allegheny Presbytery at its called meeting on the Kith inst.. regarding the complicated case ot Rev. Mr. Bausman, This interest has been intensified by the rumor that Mr. Bausman will withdraw from the Presbyterian Church, and, with his supporters, establish a Congregational Churcli. Investigation shows that while there may be strong grounds for belief in the report, there are still stronger for dis believing it. It is stated that a few of the liausman partisans have declared their de termination to withdraw and form a new organization, hut the cooler heads, who are in the majority, recognize the enormous task of establishing a dissenting chnreh in view of their numerics! weakness, the total membership of the church beint: onlv about 170. Two strong reasons are given against this course the necessity of abandoning the present church property and the latent orthodoxy of many wlio are even now sup porting Mr. Bausman. They are not vet prepared to cut loose from the Presbyterian Church, their determination rather being to insist on their pastor's retention iu the hope that he may Jicrcaftcr refrain from further expresiqn of advanced views and confine himself to points on which there is no dispute. In fact, many prominent mem bers of the congregation say he can still do good work without trespassing upon forbid den ground. Rev. Mr. Bausman was seen to-day, but asked to be allowed to maintain a perfect silence, refusing to say what he will do should the Presbytery insist upon a dissolution of the pastoral relations. He has so far countenanced no reports that a separ ate church will be established. A BTJRBO 100 TEARS OLD. It Is In McKeesport and Was Once the Property ot Tom Scott. McKeesport, Oct. 8.
