Sportinc Xews of the Day.
TChe thoroughbred sports of Pittsburg
like fun anil sport anil they are "willing to
jiayforit "When anything strikes their
feacy they are willing to put up the price
and po far from what the immortal Gray
would call "the madding crowd."
trhey would even go to some place like JIc
Kcesport or Heaver Falls, in short any
quiet and obscure" corner.
Yesterday there was a good and honest
dd-time prize fight on hand. Whether it
look place or whether it did not had no
cSect on Ohio's election or the morals
f the country. All thai there was
in it to this: Abiut 30 of the most promi
nent business men ot Pittsburg promised
lo put up S10 each to see the two men in
question fight according to London prize
Ting rules. Some of these prominent busi
ness wen and their f 10 bills appeared at a
iBslie spot about 80 miles from Pittsburg
yesterday. The delinquents missed a treat
fa their particular way, because one of the
best London prize ring rule fields tha,t has
foeen seen in many years was that of yester
day. STOI'l'EI) AT A STATION'.
The train that carried the fighters and
tpertators stopped at a station, the name of
which nobody professed to know. Every
body guecd. and a man who suggested
"No Man's Claim," was very badly hurt.
But the fighters aud the few spectators
got to one of the prettiest spots that nature
could have arranged for two young men to
settle a fi.-tic argument. Xot a stranger in
terfered until the venerable farmer, a Meth
odist, bv the war, who was an old man, ap
peared at the ring side in his own field, and
said:
""Why they have a little spite."
It was the lat round but one, and the
fooocst owner of the territory and the mot
law abiding citizens of that part of the
country said as the men came up for the last
round:
"Why. I would have given a ten-acre lot
to have seen the hoys begin this."
As a token of respect the stakes and
buckets were left on the turf, and the
farmer -nt them.
The fight was between Jack Dexter and
Jlarrv Leonard. The former fought at 131
poinds and the latter at 113. Dexter was
seconded by Hilly Simpson and Bilson
Jack, and Leonard was ably looked after by
"Keddy" Mason and the veteran Etl.
Thomas. Both men were seconded well,
hut winners alwavs have the call. Strange
to say BiUon .lack was remarkably quiet,
possibly because he had Simpson with him.
Two men could not have fought in a more
picturcsuue place than did Leonard and
Dexter. Everything connected witli the
surroundings contributed to the pleasure,
oil wells included.
rouGitT ron 37 bounds.
The young men met and they fought 37
rounds. They fought according to the old
Etrle of lighting on the turf with hare
jistsandout of tlie way from civilization.
The first round was a terrific one. Leonard
.lad the bet of it. He nad the lead off and
had slightly the best of the exchange. But
the "counters" of the first round told on
Leonard's frail body.
The contest went on, much to the enjoy
ment of the majority of Pittsburg's be'st
business men, and continued with responses
to time of each man, notwithstanding an
infliction or two. and the battle continued
Bntil the 30th round. In all this time Dex
ter had the bet of it. He was the stronger,
hat neither man displayed a knowledge of
having been taught by a good man in the
basiness.
From the first round until the thirtieth
the winner had the bc-t of it. At the
thirty-sixth round Leonard was knocked
down, and in the thirty-seventh he went
dawn and his second threw up the sponge.
Leonard objected but lie was beaten.
THE WIXNEK 1IADLV IJEATEN".
Dextcr's hands are all knocked out of
joint. He won. but he is a badly punished
Bran when liU injured hands and the bruises
inflicted by Leonaru are taken into consid
eration. Leonard a beaten from the fifth
loand because his wind began to fail him,
sad lie could not inflict any pun
ishment. Leonard was at stages
the better boxer, but Dexter forced
him to hammer and tongs exchanges. In
these Leonard always took the worst of it.
Neither man knows how to hit another
corrcctlv in a pugilistic sense. Leonard
can use his hand's better than Dexter and
both need much teaching about fighting a
battle. Yet their battle was one of the best
of its kind that ha taken place since old
Joss Goss and Paddy Itvan fought. In yes
terday's fight Leonard in the thirty-seventh
round, amid all the talk of Goss "and Mace
and other people, wa hit so hard in the
etomach that he collar.sed. He died game
and he shouted against the sponge being
thrown tip. Hi seconds saw that his wind
was gone and that it was only cruelty to
continue tiic battle longer.
AT TERHE HAUTE.
The
X'auioas Trotters ami PrMrr Have a
Hot Argument There.
Ttebe IIaite, lM,Oct.9. Theraccs ended
with dnrkne-s and with the bet event of
llio week. The srent event of the day was
tiic free-for-all pace carried over from yes
terday, in which the fastest even heats ever
gone in a race were made. Grant's Abdullah,
who yesterday -howed phenomenal speed,
was a hot favorite, hut Roy Wilkes took the
first Iicnt to-day. and Guy, a 1G to 1 shot, won
the three last heats and the race, making n
phenomenal finish in the first heat be won.
In the unfinished 2.-21 trot Tosa won as she.
pleased. Pools on the 2:18 trot sold: June
mont, $15: Held. $.!5. The talent having faith
In Walter I'., there was a surprise In the 2.-24
trot In which lien D.ivi was n hot favorite,
telling the pool Kir$i5,field$l.'i. Addie Hayes
showed that -he had inherited the stnj-tng
qualities of her gratidsirc, Robert McGregor.
Arter the second heat of the 2:24 trot, Pel
inarch.by Mambrino.went against his record
2:12 made last week In the. third heat of a
a race. liudd Dohle was up behind the hand
some iKiy horse, and at the second attempt
nodded for the word. It was a bcnutifully
rated mile. The quarter waii done in 33 sec
onds, the half in 1:0R, three-quarters In 1:3!3,
and the mile in 2:llJi. There was lusty
cheering when the time was hum; out, thcro
having been little houe that, with so cold a
day and track so hard, the stallion conld
equal his record. Charleston had the speed
ot ttip pnrty in the iree-for-all trot and won
as he pleased. All the stables will be shipped

GOOD THINGS AT B<DIOBE.
The Prominent Trotters and racers JShow
Up at the Monumental City.
Baltimore, Oct. 9. More than 3,000 people
to-daj- saw the bay stallion, Egthorne, in the
third and final heat of a race brake the rec
ord of Timlico track. He toot it down from
2:1 the Pavonia mark, to 2JS. The bay
mare Instant was a close second, and
pressed Egthorne so hard that the whip was
used freely upon the stallion. Ho took it
without a waver.
Thebigficld in tho 2:23 class and very
likely a justifiable desire on tho part of the
management that the autumn meeting of
the Plmllco Club shonldbe ended on Satur
day may be acceptable excuses for miser
able starts. But Hazel and Tom Farrell
were distanced as a consequence. Mr.
Carlos M. I)e Ganncndia.of Doubs, Md., won
handilv with his brown stallion Kioto.
Tho fourth and deciding heat in the un
finished 257 class nice of yesterday was won
and a rousing cheer was given the victor.
His time was 2:20. There seemed to be
much pleasure over the defeat of the pro
fessional drivers by Mr. Garmendla. Two
heats were .necessary to end the unfinished
2:10 class (pacing) of Thursday. Vitello won
the race. Three heats were paced In tho 2:20
class race on the card to-day aud each wai
well worth a long journey to see.

beginning of the race, when Jfut Brown was In

any apparent effort by a length and a half from
Itosa II, who succeeded In getting dangerously
near to him at the head of the stretch, but could
not stay at the paco. Hosa II Irnit Sir George, who
came very strong at the finish, three parts of a
length for the place. Time. 1:ISK.
Second race, a handicap sweepstakes for 3-year-olds
and upward, one mile and a furlong Mv Fel

sixteenth of the finish line. Kingmaker. Pessara
and Carroll, who had been wrllnp all the war,
then moved np on even tprms with him. Pessara
soon shot his bolt and fell back beaten, but King

There he relinquished the lead to Cracksman, who
led to the stretch. Cracksman swayed badlv when
he struck a streak of wet going near the sixteenth
pole, hut as soon as he got on the good going again
he showed his superiority, and although Orageuse

out of It at the most critical point. Lavish then
took up the running, but was soon Joined bv
Candelabra. They raced together to within a few
feet of the line. Candelabra got his neck In front,
and. though Lavish was the only one he had to

Meadvllle's Good Time.
Mkadville, Oct. 9. Special. All sorts of
excitement attended to-day's races on the
new kite tract. The nir was a little raw,
the track in almost perfect condition and
the attendance 1,000. In the 2:37 trot Bronze
mark and Ethel II locked wheels, and un
seated their drivers and ran away, but with
out damage. It was accidental, and both
were allowed to start again. In the same
race, second heat, Citizen ran away, and
spilled his driver, and dashed through the
crowd, knocking down a dozen men, and
badly injurinfr old Arthur McCloskey, of
Venango borough, and David O'Cary, ot this
city.

New York, Oct. 9. It is reported on good
authority tnat the American Association
will locate a club in this city next season.
It is also said that the Association intends
to attack the League in most of the cities
where heretofore the League has had full
sway. New York and Brooklyn are to be
included in the new circuit. It is said many
promincnt baseball magnates who have
been until now identified with the League,
and who have grown dissatisfied with the
new regime prevailing with tho League,
will next year cast their fortunes with the
Association.
LEAGUE AVERAGES.
President Young's Official-List for the
Season Just Ended.
HAMILTON IS TUB BIG -BATTER.
Otir Finders Do Not Show Up YerjWell In
Their Various Positions for the Tear.
A VERY POOR BATTING RECORD MADE
The official averages of the National
League are always interesting .to baseball
cranks because they are the only recognized
averages of the League. It is because they
are the only correct averages that -The Dis
tatch publishes no other.
Hamilton has the very , high honor Of
heading the list not only in batting, but in
stolen bases, two very important e'ssentials.
Beckley is furthest up among the Pitte
burgerS) being tied with Caruthers for six
teenth place in batting. We have not a
leader in any position, though Beckley is
second among first basemen. Following are
the averages for the season as compiled by
President Young, of the National League:

Mr.
Tonne Calls the Association People
Down to a Itnle or Two.
Washington, Oct. 9. The following corre
spondence explains itself:
To N. E. Young, President National League,
Washington:
The pennant club of tho Association here
by challenges the pennant club of the
League to play a series of three, five or
seven games for the world's championship.
We propose to waive all formalities and
technicalities in order to make good our
claim that to tho Association representa
tives belongs the world's championship.
Answer. Zack Phklvs,
President American Association.
Washington, Oct. 9.
To Zack Phelps, President American Association:
I hold in my possession nn agreement
called the National agreement, which was
solemnly signed by three parties, one of
which was your Association. I sincerely re
gret that the breaking of that agreement by
your Association renders such a series of
games as you propose impossible. Your
kind waiver of technicalities, etc., means, as
I construc.that you are perfectly willing that
the National League should tranjplo the Na
tional agreement under foot in order that a
single club, member of your Association,
should be accommodated with a scries of
games. I hope tho day is not far distant
when tho action and good Judgment of your
Association In resuming its allegiance to the
National agreement will render such a series
of games possible without the violation of
any agreement, at which time you will find
the champions of the National League ready
and willing to compete with tho champions
or your Association for the tltlo of the
world's championship. N. E. Young.
President National League.

Johnstown, Oct. 9, Special. There was
but a fair attendance here to-day, only 800
people gathering to see the game between
Pittsburg and Johnstown. Tho features of
the game were the battery workings of both
teams. Had West received tho support
usually given him, the score would have
been different, as most of the Pittsburg runs
were made afterhe local boys had a chance
to retire their side. In the seventh inning
Berger was struck in the stomach by a foul
tip and retired to middle. Miller taking his
place for the inning. Score:

Will Tell More Later.
St. Louis, Oct. 9. Mr. Von Der Ahe to-day
was asked what truth there was in the re
port that some League magnates were to
come over to the Association. He replied
that he knew nothing of it, but he said that
there were peODlo in Brooklyn who wanted
an American Association franchise and he
thought that with a 23 cent rate of admis
sion and Sunday games at Kidgewood. an
Association club would knock out the
League team there. Ho was not prepared,
however, to say much about tho Associa
tion's intentions at present, but could tell
moro later in the month. It was s"afe to say,
however, that the Association would put a
team in Brooklyn. It is known that a special
meeting of the American Association is to
be held in Chicago on the 22d, and at the
meeting next vear's circuit will probably bo
considered. Mr. Von Der Aho probably had
this meeting in mind when he said he could
tell more later in the month.

ments were completed this morning whereby
Louisville is to keep its franchise In tho

MIN0E NEWS FROM TOE THREE STATES
f SPECIAL TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCJt.l
Johnstown, Oct. 9. At a large meeting
of citizens to-night the committee appointed
at a previous citizen's meeting presented
resolutions on the death of William 31c
Creery, of Pittsburg, and "William H. Kem
hle, of Philadelphia. A large number of
prominent citizens were present, and sev
eral speeches were made eulogizing those
friends of Johnstown in the time of her
direst needs.
A. J. Moxham, President of the Johnson
Company, who to-day returned from a three
months' trip to Europe and who was Chair
man of all committees during the first days
of the flood, spoke highly of the character
of Mr. McCreery, characteriziug him as the
most unselfish man he had ever met, with a
big heart always overflowing with kindness.
Mayor Rose, District Attorney O'Connor,
Cvrus Elder. .Tames MoMiller. Dr. "Wagoner,
Rev. Mr. Bates and others spoke in highly
eulogistic terms of both men. Of Mr.
Kimble the resolutions spoke in the warmest
of terms, while of Mr. McCreery the resolu
tion said:
In the death of William McCreery the peo
ple of Johnstown deplore the loss of a most
faithful friend, personally and intimately
known to many of them, and gratefully re
membered for his disinterested services
rendered in tills community. As Chairman
of the Pittsburg Committee"for the Relief of
Johnstown, he inspired and directed heroic
measures of which no accurate report ever
has or ever can be made. Selected by his
fellow citizens to bo their leader in a work
which excited the sympathies of an entire
world, tlie manner in which lie uiscnargeu
his onerous duties wns a vindication of tho
wisdom of their choice. With him there was
no ulterior motive, nor did he think of him
self, nor of the record he was about to mafce,
but ne thought only of the desolated Johns
town and its bereaved and suffering people.
To his singleness of purposo and devotion
we owe mnch moro than history will record.
Mr. McCreery's report to the contributors
of funds for the nso of his commltte con
denses in a few pages tho history of our
calamity and is a description of the almost
insurmountable obstacles met and over
come in the successful efforts to afford us
prompt relief. Of incessant toll, of charity
in every form, involving tho receipt nnd ex
penditure of over $800,500. but briet mention
is made. We quote, the closing paragraph
of his report as his best eulogy:
"With a full appreciation of the generous
freedom with which 'you have given, and a
gracious sense of the confidence you have
placed in this committee, wc bespeak also
your most generous criticism where we
have unintentionally failed to wisely
bestow what you hnve so freely given. It
has been a privilege rather than a task to
discharge the duties thus laid upon us, and
we, therefore, in our behalf, as well as for
the sufferers in the Conemaugh Valley, re
turn you our most hearty thanks."
Of such worthy service we wish wo were
moro desorving, nnd the only way in which
we can manifest our gratitude, is by cherish
ing tho memory of that good man, nnd of
his good deeds, which, like the actions of
the just, "smell sweet, and blossom in the
dust."
SUICIDE OS CABELESSNESS.
A McKecsport Printer Takes Enough Mor
phine to Kill Several Men.
MoKeespokt, Oct. 9. Special. A sensa
tion was created hero to-dny by the strange
and sudden death of George Hurley from
Uniontown. His death occurred at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, nnd It was at first thought it
had been brought about by drinking to
excess. He came here three weeks ago and
secured work on the Herald. Last night he
declared he had wound up his several days'
drinking bout and took a sleep in the press
room of the Herald office. This morning it
was noticed he slept heavily, and at noon a
physician was called. Before anything
could bo done he had breathed his last,
physicians giving it us their opinion he had
taken an overdose of morphine.
An investigation revealed that last night
while standing at a har he was met by James
T. Wells. Wells was suffering greatly, and
took out a powder, intendng to take a por
tion of It. Hurley asked him what it was,
and Wells responded, "morphine." With
out a word Hurley grasped the powder.when
Wells called out to him' not to touch tho
stuff, as there was enough of it there to kill
a half dozen men. Before he could he pre
vented, iiowevor. Hurley swallowed tho
morphine and soon after walked away, no
ono appearing to pay any atttcntlon to him
after taking the poison. Alderman Dart be
gan the inquest to-day, and alter hearing
Wells' testimony continued it until to-morrow.
Wells said that Hurley assured him he
was used to the drag. Wells thought Hur
ley imagined he could stand it, but, coupled
with his weakened condition, owing to drink,
it proved fatul.
A HEWLY MADE ABT1FICIAL CAVE
Fonnd Ity Boys in a Large Field Keinoto
From Unman Habitation.
New Castle, Oct. 9. Special. Some boys
playing In a field on the farm of J. J. Mars,
near New Bedford.have made a strange dis
covery. While out hunting they came upon
an artificial cave, about seven by eight feet,
and deep enough for'a man to stand in. The
fresh earth showed that the cave is of recent
origin. Some old timbers had been placed
over the cave nnd the dirt thrown over it
ngain, then covered with sod, brush and
leaves, and a small opening was left.
Who made it, or for what It was designed,
is only a conjecture, but it is doubtless the
work of somo fugitive from Justice who has
been or who is in hiding. The tinders fool
ishly disturbed the cave, so that the pros
pect of discovering the secret of the builder
is scarce. The field where tho cave was
Duilt or dug is at least three quarters of a
mile from any bouse.
West Virginia's Direct Tax.
Charlstox. "W. Va., Oct. 9. Special. It
now turns out that $27,328 of West Virginia
direct tax money, paid over in pursuance of
the act of last Congress on the supposition
that it was due to citizens of Jefferson and
Bcrkely counties and not to tho State at
large, will go into tho State Treasury alter
all. It really stands on the same footing as
the $500,000 or so of State direct tax monev
which the Government refuses to pnythfs
State until there is some settlement ot" ante
bellum claims held by tho United States
against tho old State of Virginia. An ex
haustive searcli of the records shows that
the citizens of Jefferson and Berkely were
reimbursed by an act of the Legislature
passed in 1S6(. supplemented by the Joint
resolution of 1869.
A Resolution Against Sunday Opening.
Erie, Oct. 9. Special The Philadelphia
hvanch of the Women's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church
closed its regular annual session to-day.
Mrs. S. K. Steck, of Bellovue, offered a reso
tion against opening tho World's Fair on
the Lord's day, believing it to be in viola
lution of the divine commandment and also
of American institutions. Tho resolution

What a Suimyside Man Obtained
at the Elcctropsthic Institute,
at 507 Penn Avenne.
"I had as severe an attack of sciatic
rhenmatism as ever anyone hnd. I was

"The home doctors told me what was the
matter with me, but they could do me no
good. I suffered tortures: could not turn
myself in bed, and would scream with pain
if I attempted to move. I heard of the
skill of I)r. Davis nnd the other physicians
in charge of the Electropatlilc Institute, of
507 Penn avenue, and as soon as I could pos
sibly be moved was taken there for treat
ment. "The effect wns truly wonderful. I was
under treatment but n short time, bnt I am
entirely cured. I feel $10,000 worth better
than I did before they took my case. I
havo not a single twinge, and my health was
never better in my life."
