8 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY. 'OCTOBER 14, 1891 SAYS IT'S ALL BLUFF, Mr. O'fieil Expresses Himself About the Humors and Threats of the Association. FALSE REPORT ADOCT AD GUMBERT Entries and Starts of the Professional and Amateur Foot Kaces at UcKee's Eocks. GOOD SPOIiTS AHOXG TEE HEATIES. Ktsults ol Trcttinsanxl Kmiain? Usees General Sport in Sews of the Day. Judging from reports that are firing from one part of tlie country to another, the American Association magnates are de termined to terrify the League adherents, if nothing else. Already, according to re ports, the Association magnates have al most all the leading players of the League within their grasp; in fact, there is not a player of note in the National League whom the Association disrupters have not declared will be in the Association next year. The following dispatch from Chicago fellows how very serenely and confident Dilly Barnic talks. WHAT BAENIE SATS! '"He said there was no hard feeling be tween himself and Von der Hort, and that lie would go to the Athletics with the best recollections of Baltimore and his compan ions in the management of the club. 15c panling the future policy of the American Association, he said it would be extremely aggressive. The Association would not hes itate to spend money if necessary to hold its own. Already, he said, the clubs in the Association were throwing out their hooks to catch some of the League stars for next season. It was altocetlier likely that the Association would place a club in Brooklyn and another in the Twin Cities. He said that he would probably engage Russe. the pieat pitcher ol tlie .New lork uiants, to hold down the Association sluggers next teaon for the Athletics. Eusse is verv much disgruntled because he was not al lowed to visit his home in Indianapolis during the illness of his father, and he is aid to be in the market. "The players of the New York League Club who encaeed in the last games of their club with the Bostons are very warm about the collar over the insinuations of crookedness made against them by Vrcsi-den- "Figurehead" Hart, of the Chicago club, and if the committee of investication acquits them of wrong-doing (and it's dol lars to peanuts the committee does acquit them), they will, it is said, cmploj- counsel and brine an action against "Figurehead" for slander. GRIFFIN NOT SIGNED. "Griffin says he has not attacked his sig nature to an athletic contract and does not know that he will. Griffin can afford to wait. Baroie is very much pleased with his work this year and would like to get him in the Athletic team agaiu. The Ath letics, by the way, "ught to loom up next season. Barnic will undoubtedly cluster around him some of the best players in the country, and he will make a bold bid for the penpant. "A morning paper savs that the new American Association half club just incor porated in this city lias already secured the following players for next season: I'feffcr, Humbert, Ryan and Kittredce, of Chicago: Richard'-on and Connor, of New York, and Hart, pitcher, of Sioux City, la." It it Kife to say that there is not a word of truth in the aboe dispatch. Ad. Gumbert, who has returned home to this city, em phatically declares that he has not "signed with any association club and he is not in clined tb. THE I.KAGPE NOT AFRAID. President O'Neil stated yesterday that the stories of the Association are giving the league no concern. He argues that the rumors are being circulated entirely as a means of scaring people and in the interests of ball players who have not signed for next sea'-on. The meeting of the local auditors that was announced to be held last evening, has been postponed until next Monday evening. Tlie chief question for consideration is that of advance money. Some directors state that it will be paid, and others say it will not, and so the matter Etands. It would perhaps be bettor for all concerned, if the signing of players and eerything pertain ing to it, wore" left in the liands of one or two men. If this were done players would be signed more readily and with less bother and uncertainty. Will Bo Outside Capital. Chicago, Oct. 13. Christopher Von Der Abo ra a passenger on an Alton train yes terday, lie Jumped into a cab at the sta tion, was driven to the Palmer House, and, without the formality of registering, was assigned to a room. Christopher wasnolin to reporters. The first thing he did was to call a messenger, and an hour afterward a closed carriage rattled up to the Monroo street entrance. There was a man in the vehicle. Christopher jumped In with him, the driver whipped his horses, and the car-nagt- disappeared around the corner. It is broadly given out that "der boss" magnate and Julian B. Hart will carry two-thirds of tlie stock in the proposed Association club. Jlnlcolm McDonald, Jr., emphatically denies that he is n stockholder. He allowed his name to be used as an incorporator simpty ss an act of courtesy, and knows nothing whatever as to the prospect of the club. Thus It becomes apparent that outsido cap ital w ill float the Association stock and that Chicago capital will not be sunk to any alarming extent in the enterprise. An air of mystery envelops Von Der Ahc's move ments. ' . To-Day's East End Game. The champion Gyms will play the Pitts burg National League Club this afternoon at the East End Gymnastic Club Park at 3:3a Thompson and Haller -will be the battery for the Gyms and Galvin and Miller for the Pittsburgs. A large crowd will certainly be present to encourage the youngsters against the heavy-weights. The members of Pitts burg have heats of friends in the East Eud who will turn out to welcome them, espe cially Galvin and Miller, who are grand favorites. The Gyms wilt have to bring their nerve with them, as the sluggers prom ise to wipe up the eartli with them. JnVo lleckley's Wife Dead. The many friends of Jake Eeckley in and about Pittsburg will regret to learn that his wife died at their home at Hannibal, Mo., Monday at noon. She had been sick for a long time, consumption finally ending her life. The popular first baseman wasoulv married at the beginning of this vcar. ANOTEEE BAD DAY.

Snnol Goes a Great Mile, bat Falls to Ueat the Beeord. Stockton, Cat.-, Oct. 13. To-day was not favorable for record breaking, as a strong west wind blew in the faces of the horses on the second hair of the new kite-shaped track. It was conceded by horsemen that the day was 2 seconds slow. Experts pre dicted that Sunol, who was to trot against the record of 2:0SJ held by Maud S, could not do better than equal her own record of 2:10 in the face of such a wind. Tho at tendance was very large. After scoring twice, Mnrvin nodded for tho word, and Sunol went out, taking the middle of tho truck, she went to the quarter at a very fast gait, making the distance in 31 seconds and tho half in HEW. She trotted to the the three-quarters, in l,1. From there the runner came home with her, and she made a grand finish in tho face of a strong wind in 2:10 fiat, lowering her record one-half a sec ond. Horsemen present said it was tho greatest mile ever trotted under the circum stances. Senator Stanford's stallion, Palo Alto, trotted a mile against his record of 2:12, but failed to equal it owing to tho strong wind. He made the mile in 2:12Ji. The quarters were made in 32K, 1:01, 1:33 and 2:12V. SELLING THOBOTJGHBEED STOCK. Good Prices Realized at the Big Horse Sale at Lexington.

Tlie Heavies Entertain Their Friends With Athletic Sports At Allqulppa Yesterday Fnn for the Spectators Anniversary of the Rattle of Pueblo. The Forty-fourth anniversary of the battlo of Pueblo was celebrated yesterday by a field day given by the Duquesne Grays at Aliquippa. There wero just four members present who were in theorganization at that time. They are Captain John S. Kennedy, James Petrie, J. C. Biiflum and Alexander Caskoy. Headed by the Great Western Band the company, numbering 33 men, left the armory at 10:20 a. m. nnd marched to the Lake Erie depot, where the 10:55 train was boat ded for the grove which was reached at 12 o'clock. The first thing on the programmo was tho shoot for the company medal. Each member fired three shots nt tho target. General Guthrie, Captain Walker and Dr. J. A. llohcn were appointed Judges. The first resulted in a tie between Lieutenant Large, Sergeant Grabig and Private Swindler, ench having scored 8 out of a possible SO. The three shot off the tie, which resulted in Gra big winning with seven, Large, and Swin dler missing entirely. The next was a team shoot consisting of, the members known as the "Sal vation Army" and "Sour Kraut Seven," which resulted in a victory for "Sour Kraut Seven," the losing team to set up tho supper to the winners. A recess of one hour was then taken for dinner and refreshments. After a short rest the ath letic sports began. Chris Haucb, Harry Becker and Henry Coulter were appointed judges, and the fun began with a free-for-all race. Sergeant Grabig created a sensation by appearing with interfering boots on his knees and a paft of spurs six inches long attached to his ankles. He claimed that. he interfered when running. Gus Vick acted ns starter, and at the sound of the gun tho runners started. The distance was 100 yards and there was U entries. Pri vate E. G. Merriman finished first, in 13 seconds, with Berg a close second. Swin dler, in his eagerness to win, did not look where he was going and in consequence tripped nnd turned two or three somersaults in the air and then attempted to plow up the ground with his nose. The next event was the old man's race 50 yards. The entries were John S. Ken nedy, James Petrie and J. C. Buffum, the latter winning in ten seconds. Next came tho hop, step and jump; which was won by Alex Hutchinson, making 3 feet 7 inches. The nearest to him was 23 feet 8 inches. Then came putting the stone, for which there wero 14 entries. The prize was won by Eeon Long, he throwing it 30 feet. I tho high Jump Hutchinson again distanced all comers, he clearing 4 feet, which the others, alter several attempts, lauea to equal. Then came the event of the dav, the fat men's race. Tne entries were Long, 295 pounds; Vick, 275 pounds; O'Doheity, 270 pounds; Wright, 2G5 pounds; Grabig, 280 pounds, and Goettman, 310 pounds. Tlie dis tance was 100 yards. Wright won In U second-, with Long a close second. A sack race was next. The entries were Criswell, Burry, McTighe and Jlerriman. McTighe fell down nt the starting point and could not get up. Burry and Merriman be ing small men and the sacks being very large tney were auie 10 run oy noiuing me bottom of the sack up. They arrived at the goal together. Another race was run and Alex Hutchinson took McTighe's place and succeeded in performing the same feat that Johnny had done. The sacks by this timo were ripped and it was decided to run with out them. Hutchinson won tho dash in 11 seconls. Then came the cake wait. The band struck up the Duquesne Grey quickstep,and tne company headed by Captain Moore and Lieutenant Buffum performed a grand march around the platform, wbilo the Judges, General Guthru and De Rohen, looked on and tried to decido who was en titled to tin prize. They finally settled on Charles Stevens. The committee appointed rn spleot the hrinriRnrnpsr. mpmhnr nf tho company reported in favo.- of Corporal I Schultis.

An Encouraging Report From the Secretary of Agriculture. THE WHEAT ESTIMATE IS RAISED. Figures of the Tield and Money Yalne of All Farm Produce. MLN'OK NEWS FROM TIIE THREE STATES rsrr.ctAi. telegram to the dispatch.! Hahuisbdbg, Oct. 13. The reports re ceived by the State Board of Agriculture since the threshing of the wheat crop com menced, warrant Secretary Edge in slightly increasing his estimate of the yield. The final reports of the board indicate that the wheat crop of 1801 will amount to 22,500,000 bushels from 1,300,000 acres, or at the aver age rate of lyt bushels an acre. In Ches ter, Lancaster and other southeasten coun ties crops of over 35 bushels an acre have been reported. Of this crop fully 2,500,000 bushels was used for seed, leaving 20,000,000 bushels for home use and for sale. At present prices it is safe to estimate the money value of the crop at 522,500,000. This is the largest crop for a number of years, and may be compared with that of 1872, which was estimated at 11,500,000 bushels. The board estimates the oats crop of the past year at 31,500,000 bushels from 1,200,- 000 acres, or at the average rate of 26 bushels per acre. The yield of potatoes is estimated at 13, 250,000 bushels from 142,000 acres. Inas much as this crop is still rotting quite badly in some localities, it is impossible to even estimate the yield in marketable potatoes. The hay crop- of 1891 is estimated at 2,400,000 'tons, cut from 2,550,000 acres, or at the average rate of 1,830 pounds an acre. The yield is somewhat shortened by the fact that in the southeastern part of the State the wheat stubble of the crop of 1890 did not show a good stand of clover. This falling off was, to somewhat extent, bal anced by an unusual cut of natural grass in the northern aud northeastern counties of the State. The yield of corn, based on the reports which have already reached the board, war rant an estimate of 44,000,000 bushels from 1,325,000 acres, or at the averase rate of 33.2 bushels an acre. The southern and southeastern counties, which are neces sarily the corn-growing districts, report much larger yields, but the average in the State is materially reduced by the yield on the northern tier, where nothing but the small-cared, short-season varieties can be profitably planted. Secretary Edge estimates that if these crops were nt once turned into cash they would yield the farmers of the State not less than ?78,000,000. A large proportion of all of them must be used lor stock feed and the production of butter, milk, mutton, pork and beef, and the price which they will actually net the farmer will altogether depend upon the prices which they receive for those products. The reports of the board indicate that live stock will generally go into winter quarters in more than its average condition, and that there is less than the usual amount of disease among farm animals.
