"! ( -"! 8 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, PPJDAT, OCTOBER 23, 1891. 2? All VERY THANKFUL That's the Spirit That Pervades the Association Magnates at Their Meeting. MR. PHELPS READS HIS REPORT. The Organization Reported to Be in Good Financial Condition and the league Scored. nent baseball magnate, in conversation with friends here this evening, stated that it was well understood on the inside that Cincinnati would have an Association club next year. The scheme proposed is to transfer the Columbus club to Cincinnati, the Columbus stockholders retaining an interest. It is stated that this will be one of the most important subjects brought be fore the meeting of the Association, which begins to-morrow at Chicago, and that the leaders of the Association are agreed on the scheme and its success is assured. CHICAGO'S KEW CLUB ORGANIZED. Irtd 1'fefler to lie Its Manager Baseball News of General Interest. Chicago, Oct. 23. Baseball men filled the corridors of the "Wellington Hotel to day. Chris Von der Abe, of St. Louis: Z.ich Phels, of Louisville, President of the American Association, aud half a hundred other managers and players were present to attend the annual meeting of the American Association. At noon the Board of Di rectors went into executive session. The delegates present were as follows: Philadel phia, J. K. Wagner and William Barnic; "Washington, Hike Scanlan and Ed. Suther land: St. Louis. C. Von der Abe; Columbus, Gus Sehmelz, C. Born and Ralph Lazaius; Boston, Karry Stevens and Julius B. Hart; Milwaukee, H. E. Gillette and Charles Cushman: Baltimore, H. Von der Horst; Louisville, T. J. Battman and John Chap man. They found the Association in good financial condition, with a considerable bal ance in the treasury. It was voted to rec ommend that the new Chicago club be ad mitted to membership. Protests against the fine of 530 inflicted on Umpire Kcrins for indecent language at "Washington ihen his decision giving the Washington the game against 0 to 0 was Iiretestcd, and Umpire McLaughlin's decis ion giving the Boston-St. Lotus game of September li to St. Louis bv the same Fcore. were then considered. Both decis ions were sustained the ruEsiDns-r's ki:port. President Phelps presented his annual report, during the course o: which he ani madverted harshly upon the ruspieion at tached to the closing game- in the League contest and congratulated the Association on its frecdon. iron such suspicion. He paid that the breach betwerr the League and Association had bafflel all efforts to bridge it over and expressed a conviction ll:at the League will agree to no settlement unless assured of the benefit of it. At n meeting this moraine the local As sociation c'tili organized as follows: George H. "Williams, President; G. II. Richer, Vice President, and Treasurer and S. G. Morton. Directors. Messrs. Williams ar.d Itichev. C. H. Rollins. AV. L. Gogsia and H. AYarnell; Manager, Fred Fieffe". There are several National League agents in the city, and both parties are doing their best ts secure all the good players possible It is well understood here that there is a deal of "bluff" connected with the Associa tion meetiug, and the reference of Phelps to the "suspicion" regarding League games lias CAVSKD A GENERAL LAUGH. The Association magnates could not to day conceal the fact that all is not pleasant among them, and that their talk about their clnbi being in good financial condition is false Milwaukee, Louisville, Washington and Columbus are complaining strongly. There was considerable iufoimal talk anions the magnate regarding peace. They all want a settlement, and it is thp opinion of well informed r-eople here that efforts arc now being made to have a settlement as soon as possible. Nobody Rcems to know definitely yet vihat the make up of the As sociation tor nctt year will be, Columbus wants to remain in the organization, but it 5 thought that Milwaukee does not. If tbis turns out to be true the new club at Chicago will take Milwaukee's place and Columbus will remain in the list. THE GENERAI, MEETING. At the general meetingof the Association the business transacted was the admission of Chicago, the adoption or President Phelps report, and the hearing of applica tions from several clcb- for admission to the Association. All the applications were de Jerred, with small linne of being finally planted, unle's the ciicuit should be en larged uv the cluns. 'lhe matter of the dropping of Columbus or Milwaukee will conic tip to-morrow. The main result of the meeting thus far 5s that Chicago is at last represented in the American Association of Baseball Clubs. Chris Von der Abe. as it were, acted as sponsor at the ceremony of the christening, in that it was he who made the motion for the admission of the infant giant into the Association. Whether much opposition developed when the question came up is one of the secrets of the Association, but from what leaked out unawares it seems that there was some, not a strange thing when it is considered that Columbus and Milwaukee could "see in it an element of danger to themselves. After the meeting the Chicago men showed their elation over their recep tion into the Association by treating the delegates with champagne. The grounds will be within 11 minutes' ride Ironi the Polk street depot, just where will not be told before next Tuesday. The club has the rciusal of three grounds, and it is trying to decide between them so as to secure the most advantageous site. Who the players will be is as yet a matter for prophets, as nothing official has been given out. THEIR THIRD ROUND. Some .Exciting Football Games Expected To-Morrow by the League Association Teams Interesting Gossip Regarding the Various Clubs In the Organization ml the Prospects of the Season. The third round of games in the Western Pennsylvania Football League will take place to-morrow. Tho previous rounds have demonstrated the fact that there is not a single weak team in the League, and from the standing of the clubs which we publish below, it will be seen that the record is al ready becoming quite interesting. The surprise of last Saturday's ties was the defeat of the Pittsburg club by Home stead. It seems that the local club have more playing members than they can use in their League Cxtuies, with the result that a number of them have been kicking because they weie not chosen to play. The manage ment of the club being anxious to preserve harmony among its members gave one or two of the reserve players a chance to show their abilities. They held their op ponents too cheaply and thought they could win haudily despite the fact that some of the best men were specta- ! tors. The combination of the forward rank was entirely broken up and judging from the result of the game, it will be a long time before such an experiment is repeated. There will be plenty of exhibition games before the close of the season in which the reserve players will have an opportunity of playing. If th club is to be in the running lor "the pennant the strongest team possible must be chosen on all occasions for the League games The champion McDonalds are at present in the lead, but they will have much harder work to retain that position this year than they had last season, and although they make the proud assertion that they have never been defeated since their formation a few years ago. they cannot expect to win all the time" with so many strong clubs in the League and are almost sure to have their colors lowered within the next week or two. They are followed by Homestead who have three points to their credit This team has greatly improved since last year, and being strengthened by a number o" last year's Braddock club their supporters confidently look upon them as pennant winners. Pittsburg and Xew Castle are tied for third place with two points each. The Mc Keesports. who do not seem to be playing in their true form yet, rank fifth. Bloom fields bring up the rear aud have yet to score their first point. Thev are playing in hard luck at present, but have a first-class team and will not long lemain in their pointless position. Since their same with Pittsburg they havj been strengthened by the addition " of the brothers Potts and Yoick of last year's Lawrenceville's halt back division, and will jet make it warm for some of the club;. There will be no games in the city to-morrow as both the local clubs are scheduled away from home. Pittsburga go to McKeesport to meet the local club there. A close game will undoubtedly be the result, but if the Pitts burgs can take their lull team along they ought to come out ahead. Secretary Stewart, of the Homestead club, will referee the games. Tiie Bloorofields iourney to Mc Donald to tackle the champions. The Mc Donalds have been playing their recent games at Mansfield, but the citizens of Mc Donald, who take a great interest in their club, are verv anxious to see their favorites play one game at home before the severe weather sets in, and a request to that effect has been granted by the.tcam. Bloomficld cannot hope to win, but ought to make a good fight. A very interesting contest will be that between the New Castle and Homestead clubs, which will take place on the ground of the latter. Judging from their previous games this year, they are very, evenly matched, and it would be a hard "matter to say who will come out ahead. Homesteads have a slight advantage, however, by having the game on their own ground. Tiie record of the clubs to date is as follows: back; Wood and McAllister, half backs; Davis, full back. THE HEERON HILL SH00TEES. They Have Some Good Sport Down on Their Club Grounds. The shoot at Brunot's Island yesterday was a complete success in all respects. It is, indeed, some time since there was such exciting shooting, even among the Herron Hill Club experts. There were ten matches and each brought out numerous contestants. The latter were handicapped. The results were as follows: First match Hufhnan 1G yards, Herron 18 yards and W. S. King 20 yards, each broke 8 out of 10 targets and divided. Bedell at 16 yards was second with 4. Second match Huilman, W. S. King and Herron were first with each 9, and Bedell was second with C.

ALLERTON FELL SHORT Tha Speedy King of the Track Fails to Equal His Own Record. EOT TVILKES IS UNSUCCESSFUL. Windy Weather Interferes Greatly With the Flyers at Independence. SOME GOOD GOING AT NASHVILLE KNOCKED TRACY OUT. Jere Dunn Very Forcibly Resents a Charge Regarding His Honesty. SewYobiv, Oct.22. Billy Tracy knocked out by Jere Dunn. It was a short and de cisive fight, and it occurred in the parlors of Jimmy Wakcley's sporting resort at Sixth avenue and Forty-second street. Tracy, leaning against the bar, was chat ting with Wakeley, when Jere sauntered into the rooms. Cordial greetings were ex changed, and wine soon flowed freely, and the talk became general. Finally the dis cussion became decidedly hot on referees' decisions. "1 always act as squarely as I know how, Billy," said Jere. "You're a d liar," shouted Tracy. Jere, otiick as a flash, drew tin his big right fist, and it landed with a crash on Tracy's jaw. Tracy went reeling across the room, finally falling on his back. Wakeley and his lieutenants interfered and pre vented bloodshed. "Good night, Jimmy," exclaimed Dunn, as he moved toward the door, casting a sneering glance at his enemy. "Good night, everybody," and he left the place. MABEB WANTED TO FIGHT. "Won. Lost. Tied. Goals Goals Won. Lost. Joints. Trying It Again. "Once Was Enough for Me" was the .burden of the song that Mr. Fred Pfeffer sang all year, but it looks as if he is trying to carry water on both shoulders once more. Some of these days Sir. Pfeffer will be drowned. A bulletin from Washington an nounces that he has signed with Chicago for '92. The truth is he put his signature to one ot those "good-for-five-years" docu ments last spring, and is trving to squirm out of it. Undismayed by the failure here of Messrs. Ton der Alic and Barnie Mr. Pfeffer has also dropped into the town on a mission. He is after Will Hart for the As sociation, although he has not yet become legally entangled with the new Chicago club himself. Personal resentment to Uncle Anson has made Mr. Pfeffer willing to chance life and death on another wild goose chase. Times-Star. McDonald.. Homestead. Pittsburg... Newcastle. McKeesport lUoomtield .

They Will Play Their TlnnksgiTlnff Day Game at Manhattan Field. XewYork, Oct 22. Special The big Thanksgiving Day football came between Yale and Princeton will be played this year at Manhattan Field. Thh was decided upon yesterday at a meeting held at the Manhattan A. C. club house. Among those present at this meeting were Max Farand, President of the Princeton Football Association; W. B. Wright, Jr., Manager cf the Yale Football Association, and Secretary C. C. Hughes and S. J. Cor nell, of the Manhattan Athletic Club.

The contract made last year by the foot ball association with the" management of Eastern Park as to gate receiptswill hold this year. A picked team of Princeton players will sample Manhattan Field this afternoon with the M. A C. eleven as opponents. Ho Was Willing to Tackle Mahan for S1.000 or S1O0. Sajt Francisco, Oct. 52. After the Occidental directors had declared the Maber Mahan fight off last night, Maber met Mahan outside the ring and through his backer pos'ed a thousand dollars forfeit at once to fight Mahan at any time. He also offered to go out and fight anywhere for a hundred dollars. Mahan declined the proposition on the trround that it was not legal to light outside an organized club and that as physicians had decided Maber in no condition he (Mahan) refused to meet him at all. Maber expressed the opinion that the change of odds from S100 to ?80 -l him to $20 to 516 in Mahan's favor just beoj time to enter the ring had much to do with the club's action. President Robinson denied this however and on his promising Mahan half of the purse, the matter was dropped and the spectators entertained with a 10 romid contesf between local boxers. Independence, Ia., Oct. 22. A strong south wind prevented record breaking to day. The day was cold, and by the time the equities had fought the elements to the turn, there was little speed left in them with which to finish. Allerton, to beat his 2:09 failed to make his rahrk. He scored down rapidly and was sent his best. He trotted the mile without a skip, but the gods of the weather were against him, and he could only suc ceed in stopping the watches at 2:10)4. The famous Roy Wilkes, 2:08;, with his noted owner, L. A. Davics, as driver, started to beat his mark But the speed was not in him, and he only made it in 2:12. His owner claimed it was all the fault of the runner, who did not touch him at any part of the mile. He took another turn on the kite and this time he did a second better, coming under the wire in 2:11. Robert Rysdyk, br. s., by William ltysdyk, who looks and acts like another Allerton, was sent against his mark, 2:14, and trotted an even mile in 2:14. The clas3 races were won in the straight heats without contest. Clinker, Jr., who obtained a record of 2:25) at this meeting, lowered his mark i seconds in the second heat. The 2:30 pace was made in good time, the first heat being the fastest, in 2-20j SUMMARIES. 2:30 trot. Clinker.

New Yoke:, Oct. 22. Special. It was a great big crowd that went to the Hhmtfated News office yesterday at" ernoon to see Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider, and Alt Levy, the English bantam champion, makeamatch to fight to a finish. There were a whole lot of people there who don't go to these things ordinarily, but went to see this in order to see a world's championship match made. Joe Early, Levy's manager; Pete Black, Kelly's backer, and Kelly had met in the same place in the morning, and the result of their talk at that time was that they should meet again in the afternoon. When thpy finally came together Joe Eilrv offered a purse of 82.500 for the lads to tight for. Kelly at once demurred at the weight 103 Iiounds. Levy then said that he was the jantam champion, and unless Kelly met him at that weight the claim must go". Kelly kicked-agaiu, and there was a growl about whether Levy should fight Kelly at 107 pounds, weigh in five hours before entering the ring, or 100 at the ring side. Kelly kicked at this, too, and gave his ultimatum that he would not fightexceptatl07 pounds, weigh in at .the ring side. The men who who were present, who have seen many matches made, laughed at the Spider when he made this ridiculous claim, but Kelly would have it, and left the office with his backer. Later in the night Joe Early sent word to Black that if he would show up on Thurs day at 4 p. m. at the same place a match might be arranged. Early declined to .say what his purpose was, but his wortl in box ing matters is good, also his promises. It is true, as well, that Early was looking around last night for a good 105-nound man to fieht Levy. Spider Kelly lost much prestige by the way he hung out for half a pound in the Illustrated Xius office, according to the men who who were there and witnessed the pro ceedings. JONES AND BEATTY.

The 'Varsity grohuds were almost flooded to-day when the football men appeared at 1 o'clock for the usual practice game. Notwithstand ing this the two teams lined up and a regular game was played. The' greater part of it was an exhibition of swimming in the water and mud. Tracy Harris, '8(5, an old football player, was on hand and coached the players. Although the field was simply a bed of mud both teams played the strong est game that has been seen here this year. The practice was sharp and the entire 'Varsity team played with snap and vigor. Johnny Poe sprained his ankle very badlv. It is feared that he may not be able to play again for some weeks. The Scrubs scored 4 points against the 'Varsity's 8.

Beatty's record is unknown, but he had the sand to make a race with Jones' backers without 6eeing or even previously knowing the Homestead sprinter.

Frank VanLooc, a married man aged about 2j years, was ar rested near Galena, Delaware county, this evening and brought to Columbus on a night train, charged with the robbery and murder at the Columbus Grove bank. He will be held here and taken to that place to morrow. So far as known VanLoon was never sus pected of the crime for which he was ar rested until he was taken into custody. H. F. Like, a detective from Columbus Grove, assisted by the Mirshal at Galena, made the arrest a few miles from Galena. The circumstances which point to VanLoon's guilt could not be learned to-night. Van Loon's father lives about 12 miles north of Columbus, on a farm, and is considered re sponsible. Young VanLoon has been about home re cently, and it is said is known to have had $1,500. He also bought a farm near that of his father. The mflney and the purchase are supposed to be a portion of the evidence in the case, as he is n t known to have been worth any money. Whether he was in the vicinity of Columbus Grove at the time of the crime is not known. While VanLoon is known to be the black sheep of the family, only small crimes, if any, have been charged against him hereto fore. He was married a short time ago to Miss Huddel, near Galena, and it was her father's home where he was arrested. The detectives left with VanLoon for Putnam county before they could be found.

Great Derby Prospects. Chicago, Oct. 22. When Secretary Brewster, of the Washington Park Club, opened his mail to-day he found three bulky letters bearing English postmarks. The largest parcel was opened first. It con tained 13 nominations for the American Derby, Queen Isabella, and Sheridan stakes for Colonel North. The second was from E.

Columbus, Oct. 22. Special Mrs. Charlotte Smith, of Washington, who threatened to invade Ohio during the cam paign and follow Secretary Foster on his tour of the State, has turned up in Colum bus. Mrs. Smith arrived in the city yester day and registered at the Neil as plain Mrs. Smith. Although she was endeavoring to suppress her identity, a Dispatch repre sentative to-day discovered her hiding place and got a very interesting story from her in regard to her trip to Ohio. She dis claimed all intention of following Secretary Foster, and said itwas merely a coincidence that had brought her .to the Buckeye State on the same train with that gentleman. She said: "What I stated about following Secre tary Foster was simply a hit. I merely in tended to call him down, and I think I suc ceeded. But after I got to thinking over the letter reflecting on Governor Campbell's private business, and 1 saw how cowardly men were getting about it, my sympathy went out to him. That made me decide to come to Ohio and I left Washington Tues day night. At the depot I ran across Mr. Foster, and in order to avoid the embarrass ment of meeting him I took a day coach in stead of a sleeper. When the train was ready to start I found Mr. Foster had a private car. It was then too late to get a sleeper, and so I had to make the best of it. "I took off my wrap and placed a roll of money, 5175, in my bosom. Unfortunately, I left my dress j artly unbuttoned, and be fore I got to Columbus I discovered I t..is 5175 short. However, I had some money in my satchel, and with that was able to get along. 1 was Degmning to nna mv trip rather dear amusement, but then I have got accustomed to that, as I have spent about 57,000 in that way already, and unless I get out of the business I won't have any lelt. -When I arrived at Columbus'l was undetermined, and concluded to keep quiet until I decided what course to pursue. I have now made up my mind to stay in Ohio until after the campaign, t do not intend to espouse any particular party, but want to talk to the working people. I have come fortified and expect to prove by sworn documents all my assertions. I shall remain right here in Columbus, and from this on shall make it interesting for these people who go about telling the working people that labor is protected by tariff." Mrs. Smith had no opinions to offer on the contest in Ohio other than that she would be in it. She expects to pay her own expenses on the trip, and denies that she comes solicited.by any party or under the patronage of any parly. Engineer Who Forgot His Orders Meets a Horrible Death! McKeesport, Oct. 22. -Another terrible wreck occurred this morning on the Pitts McKeesport and Youghiogheny Bailway, between 1 and 2 o'clock, at Bound Bottom, 45 miles south "of McKeesport. At this point there is a curve, and the engineers were unable to stop their trains iu time to prevent a collision. The trains were on the same track, going at a rate of about 20 miles per hour; and crashed into each other with terrific force. The piston valve of Scott's engine flew out, and he was scalded by the steam and received other bad injuries from which he died in about an hour. The engineer and fireman of the other en gine jumped and saved themselves, as did also Scott's fireman. The latter, however, was seriously hurt. Immediately after the accident word was sent to Scott's father, who keeps a saloon in Pittsburg.

At the hearing in the Searles' will case to-day Mr. Burley asked for letters from Mr. and Mrs. Searles to Hubbard and Stillman. They were read and showed deposits to Mrs. Searles' credit in banks to the amount of 5240.000 in three months. Mr. Burley then called for all the books of accounts of the co-partnership. Mr.But ler objected, and Mr. Burley finally called Mr. Searles and-interrogated him in regard to the books, but witness stated that he did not know anything as to the contents of the books. The' letters signed "Per E. L." were written by Edith Littlefield, who did some writing for him. Witness did not know where the sugges tion came from to drop Timothy's name from the executors of Mrs. Searles' codicil of June 18, 1888. Witness never knew a physician by the name of Hayward; never attended lectures on mesmerism or made it a study. He thought there were copies kept of' some letters sent to Timothy Hop kins by Mrs. Searles. Mr. Searles fiad not had any direct correspondence with Timo thy since his marriage. Mr. Stillman visited Methuen about a week before the execution of the last will by request of Mrs. Searles through witness.

When Timothy arrived witness had al ready made arrangements to go awav, but delayed in order to welcome him, and wit ness then told Timothy that he had to go to Barrington to look after the work, and went. Witness learned that Timothy had managed his mother's affairs for a number of years, but never heard any discussion as to whether he had received compensation or not. There was no secrecy about the co partnership. He never heard his wife be tween June 1 and Juljr 16, 1888,express any wish as to the disposition of any part of her property. THE WEATHER.
