Sam Morton, of the new American Asso
ciation club ia Chicago, returned to the city
yesterday and was after big game. He had
a lrasine conversation with Dick Buckley,
of the Xew York League club, and as a re
sult Mr. Morton .said last evening that, if
IJusie went tb the Chicago Association club
so would Buckley The latter is residing
here at present and talked to Mr. Morton in
a thoroughly business like way. Buckley was
frank, and stated that he was playing base
liall for the money there was in it for him,
and that if financial arrangements were
mutable to him he would just as soon go to
Chicago as anywhere else.
ABOUT BUCKLEY'S r.L-
After the conference Mr. Morton "touched
the wires" to Weffer, whom he, Morton, ex
pected was in Indianapolis trying to sign
Busle. "When Mr. Morton left the city last
evening he seemed highly satisfied with the
progress he had made with Buckley. Dur
lng'a conversation with the writer Buckley
said:
"I don't think I will be on the Xew York
team next season, simply because I do not
want to play there. "What the club officials
there call their contract Mith me is worth
less. There are too many managers in the
New York club for me and for many more
who plaved on the team latt season. If
Mutrie was sole manager matters might be
different, but he is not. Busie wants $o,000
to plav there, and if he does not get it I
think "he will go over to the Association.
The truth is, the New York club will have
great difficulty in re-signing their old play
ers. Richardson claims that the clnb owes
him 51,000, and he told me he would bv no
means sign until he got the money. Play
eri had no satisfaction last season playing
for the club, because several people were
Irvine to run it."
""Would you like to go back to New
York?" was asked.
"Not particularly."
OUT FOE THE 3IOSET.
"Would you go to the American Associa
tion?" was the next query.
"Now, I'll just tell you howl stand. I
am out to play for money, and I'll plav on
the street if I can make "satisfactory terms
as rcrards salary. I am frank, on that sub
ject simply because I mean it."
Talking about the relative merits of
pitchers John Ewing and Kusie, Buckley
said: "Whv, Ewing is not in it with Rusie.
The latter lias pluck, but John lacks sand
wnenevcr he is being hit hard. Last reason
the Pittsburg team gave him a trouncing in
the early part of the year, and ever after
that John was sick when the team had to
meet the Pittsburgs John would be a
great pitcher if he had the sand."
Whether or not Buckley will leave the
League remains to be seen, but Mr. Morton
certainly made him a good offer last even
ing. As soon as Kusie's intentions are
known Buckley may deeide. The latter
emphaticallv contends that Kusie is worth
rier tent of 3,000 to the New York club.
Of course every baseball patron knows of
Buckley's stamling.as a catcher.
TltYXXG TO HOOK ELMEK.
Mr. Morton also bod a long talk with
Turner Smith. They conferred for an hour
and a half. At the"concluion of their talk
Mr. Morton said- "Smith and I have
arrived at nothing definite yet, but our
negotiations have been adjourned for about
two days. Smith talks very reasonably and
we may come to terms. I will know as soon
as I return home."
Mr. Morton also had a long talk with
Tommy Quinn. The latter is willing to
join a Chicago Association Club contract,
but as Mr. Morton signed Catcher Gunson
while down East and as he is still negotiat
ing ith Buckley nothing was done with
Quinn.
The Chicago manager left for home on
the limited last evening. He may be here
next week. He failed to see Gumbert yes
terday as the latter wa- out of the city.
Before leaving Mr. Morton said: "Now
just let it be understood as a fact that we
hai e signed Hart, the pitcher of the Sioux
City team."
Two Men for Brooklyn.
New York, Oct. 23. Special. Presi
dent Byrne, of the Brooklyn club, yesterday
signed Dan Brouthers and Joyce, both of
last season's Boston Association team.
Neither found any fault with terms offered.
In the case of Brouthers there is a proviso
that he will join the Brooklyn if he can
secure his-release from the Boston League
club, which claim to have him on its reserve
list as mjdc out prior to the war with the
Piayers' League. There is little doubt that
he can get the release he seeks, as Tom
Tucker more than pleases the triumvirs on
firtt base.
McGnnnlgle'ft Cz.se.
It is expected that Manager McGunnigie,
of the local ball club, will arrive in the city
to-day. If he does very likely the club di
rectors will hold a meeting and hear the
statement he may make regarding the work
duriiig his trip East. Doubtless a very
strong feeling has developed against the
manager during his absence, as his enemies
have not been idle.
The Homestead Gun Clnb.
The American Gun Club, of Homestead,
will inaugurate Saturday afternoon the
first of their series of grand haudicap free-for-all
ewecpstake shoot at their West Bun
ground. This club, recently reorganized, is
composed of the crack shots of Homestead,
and what is still better to score in their
favor, is to sav that they are a bodv of gen
tleman with the true sportsman's instincts.
TO-KOSROW'S GBEATGAMB.
The Local Football Team, to Tackle
the
McDonald Champions.
Excitement runs high among local Asso
ciation football plajers as to the Tesult of
to-morrow's game at Exposition Park, be
tween the champion McDonalds and the
Pittsburg team. This game will be the
first played by the McDonalds, who have
never lost a game since they were organized
three years aeo in this city. The team is
composed of rlayers who battled for their
club in the old country years agOj players
who know the intricacies and niceties of
th game in every detail and as exponents'
of the passing game they are without doubt
the lending club of the country.
They will, however, have to bring all
their skill toTiear to win to-morrow's game.
The Pittsburgs will present a very power
ful team, a team which will contest the game
irom start to hnish, and it is hardly neces
sary to say that the spectators will be treated
to an exhibition of skill which will delight
everj one. Every effort is being made to
persuade President Fred Goodwyn of the
Pittsburgs to referee the game and it is
very likely that he will find time from his
business to do-so. With fair weather we
predict the largest attendance ofpcopleever
present at a football game in this vicinity.
ABBANGINQ DETAILS.
Managers Getting Things Beady for the
Tale and Princeton Contest.
New York, Oct. 29. Special Presi
dent Max Farrand of the Princeton foot

tickets to those wishing them for themselves
or their families. Tne bids of speculators
at the sale will not be accepted.
The plans for the extra stands at Man

MADE LOTS OF MONET.
Slosson and His fiackers Did Well in the
Recent Billiard Match.
New York, Oct 29. Special The pop
ular jubilation over George Slosson's victory
over Champion Jacob Schaefer continued
with unabated enthusiasm yesterday. There
hasn't been a time within the last decade
when bettors on the right side of a billiard
made o much money as the Slossonites did
on Monday night. They were justified in
prolonging their rejoicing. Samuel Bar
ton, the millionaire nephew of the late Com-.
modore Vanderbilt, was one of those who
congratulated the victor yesterday. He
came up from Wall street" with Maurice
Daly expressly to tender his felicitations.
Slosson won over $2,000 by his victory
over Schaefer, even after he deducted the
2."W that he allowed the champion for ex
penses in coming to this citv. It shows
that it pays to be a tip-top billiardist. It
is good pay lor 3 hours and 23 minutes'
work to capture that much cash. It is bet
ter, as somebody astutely said, thau to be a
crack bicyclist.
At Slosson's request the stake money was
yesterday deposited in his bank in Madison
Square.
Maurice Daly said last night that he
would like to "sec a five night's match be
tween Schaefer and Slosson. This was in
keeping with a suggestion that an 800-point
match was too short to give an actual test
of superiority. Daly thinks that Slosson
would win the longer game. Everj'body
that understands billiards seems to thick
that Schaefer'bterrifij beating was primarily
due to over-confide sec. He went to the
hall without a doubt that he would van
quish the Student The Student played
safety and backed it with tough medicine in
the shape of steady double-figure runs, and
brought about a reaction of feeling that was
fatal to the champion's chance. The Stu
dent was thus able to discount his adver
sary's game. Schaefer went to Chicago to
see if he could postpone his Mexican trip so
asto play Slosson in this city for tho Bruns
wick world's championship cup. He will
be the favorite in the betting again sure.
The sporting public are unmistakably
"stuck" on nis wonderful stroke and ex
quisite execution. Slosson is very anxious
for another trial on the green baize.

of this place, and Dan Gould of McKees
port, will row their race on the Monon
gahcla river for 5100 a side; open for 5200.
The course is three miles long, and a very
crooked course it is; lull of cross currents
on one side and whirling eddies on the
other, making the choice of either river
bank a standoff for the contestants. The
start will be from the foot of McClure
street to a point south of the Baltimore and
unio image at six Mile .Ferry and return.
Sullivan is in hard training for the race
and his friends arc confident that he will
be an easy winner. He is an old-time ball

SOME GOOD YOUNGSTERS SOLD.

Chicago, Oct 29. This was the premium
day of the Berry sale of fashionable and
undeveloped young trotters. The weather
was brilliant, and the attendanbe is said to
have been the largest ever congregated at a
horse sale in the West or Sonth. Promi
nent breeders were present from all the
leading farms of the.country.
To-day's offerings were made up from the
studs of Colonel K. P. Pepper, of the South
Elkhorn farm, Frankfort, Ky., and com
prised a number of standard fillies by On

SUSPICION ABOUT COMEDY.
An Investigation Going on Kegardlnc the
Winner of the Cambridgeshire.
London, Oct 29. Sportsmen interested
in the New Market races are much stirred
np regarding the performance of Mr. W.
W. Fulton's bay filly Comedy in the race
for the Cambridgeshire stakes, which was
run at the New Market Houghton meeting
yesterday. There was much surprise when
Comedy, which started at odds of 7 to 1
against her, set the pace in the race and
won by half a length, her previous perform
ances not having warranted betters in
placing much confidence in her as a winner.
The New Market turimen are betting
heavily that the judges will not award the
race to the filly. So confident are they, that
offers of 10 to 1 were made against the
judges deciding in her favor, but these
offers found no takers.
Subsequently the believers in the square
ness of the filly, her owner and jockey
plucked up courage and accepted odds of 6
to.l. At the.se figures much money was
laid and the offers at this quotation found so
many takers that the odds dropped to 9 to
2. The stewards of the jockey club are
now making a close inquiry in the running'
of Comedy. Since she won her maiden
victory at Kempton Park in May last, her
running has been regarded as inconsistent
with the brilliant victory she scored yester
day in the large field of 28 horses that ran
against her.

HANL0N BETUBHS.
He Talks of Sleeting Harnle and Wagner
Who Are After Players.
Ex-manager Hanlon, of the local team,
.returned from New York yesterday. Re
garding his trip he said: "My trip was
purely one of private business, but I was
prepared to do business for the local club
had it been necessary. While in New York
I met Messrs. Barnie and Wagner. They
were after Koger Connor and Danny Rich- J
ardson, but I 'hint both players will re
main with the New York club. Kichardson
gave me to understand that he would."
It is now understood that Hanlon will be
a member of the local outfield next year.
Barnie wanted to sign him for the Athletic
club, but Hanlon reminded William that
he, Hanlon, had not been released yet'
O'CONNOR IS WILLING.
The Canad an Quito Iteady to How Stans
bury for the World's Championship
Toronto, Ont., Oct 29. William
O'Connor, champion sculler of America, re
turned from the Pacific coast yesterday.
O'Connor is in the best ot health, and
hopes that the report that Stansbury and
Beach are coming on the next Australian
steamer is true. He has received no special
advice of their coming, but believing in
Stansbury's public statement, O'Connor
left articles with Mr. it. Laven, of San
Francisco, to arrange for a race for the
championship as soon as they arrive.
"I will row Stansbury anywhere and on
any course," he said last night "And I
can beat him. If I do I'll retire from the
business. Dutch was a coming man when I
was in Australia, and he could not get a
race at home when he left "Sinless it was for
championship. His work out here shows
the difference a change of climate will make.
Australians rated him as one of the best
scullers in the world, and he is only a second-class
here. He had an idea he would
find it easy to win in America.
"He talked so much even after two de
feats, that 1 made up my mind to give him
a sound beating. Dutch can get away very
fast, and he went off the line at 42 strokes,
but I dug them in, too, at a pretty lively
rate and I soon headed him. Hanlan says I
was seven lengths in front of Dutch at a
quarter of a mile. He should have beaten
Peterson, though. Dutch's eyesight must
be bad, because if there is an obstacle in the
course he'll run into it He led Peterson to
the turn, but lost 400 yards by going around
both buoys when he needed to have turned
only one. Australians speak very highly
of young Sullivan, the New Zealander,
who challenged Stansbury for the cham
pionship." MB. ESTEILE'S WASHING.
A Taylorstown Ulan Tells How the Sprinters
Performed Out His Way.
J. N. Estelle, of Taylorstown, on the
Baltimore and Qhio Hailroad, near Wash
ington, Pa., called at this office yesterday
and left the following statement regarding
some sprinters who visited Taylorstown
recently:
"I and other citizens, of Taylorstown,want
to warn the public against some profession
al sprinters who are infesting the neighbor
hood. A few days ago C C. Lee, under the
name of J. C. Leonard, visited here and
started work as a barber. Then J. O- Stans
bury, under the name of Walter Brown,
appeared on the scene, and subsequently W.
H. Hough, under the name of James Grant,
was on deck. As a result the confidences of
innocent citizens were secured and many
were fooled out of their money. Similar
schemes are being worked in other towns
near to Pittsburg and the headquarters of
these men are near to Pittsburg. We don't
complain about the money we nave lost,but
we desire to warn other people against pro
fessional sprint races. we have been
robbed."
Homestead Sprinters.
Frank Maloney and Patrick Tierney,
both of Homestead, will run a 200 yard
race for $50 a side at Port Perry, on Sat
urday, November 7th. Both are novices in
the racing line, but very speedy young
men indeed, and it is predicted that either
will lower tn"e records of some of the Home
stead runners.
JOHN L. HOSE AGAIN.
Sullivan Ketnrns From Australia
and
Talks About Siavln and Others.
San Francisco, Oct. 29. Special.
Among the Almeda's passengers were John
L. Sullivan and party. Sullivan expressed
himself as glad to return to this country.
He had, he said, formed no plans as yet for
returning to the ring in the future.
But during a long conversation, he said:
"I am not opposed to meeting the best man
in the world, outside of myself in a clove
contest. I have made up my mind
not to enter into any' more prize
ling fights with bare fists, as
such fights are against the law. Certainly I
am willing to meet Slavin or anybody else
if satisfactory arrangements can be made,
but at present I am not in a position to talk
definitely about arrangements.
"My tour in Australia was not a failure
by any means. My enemies must have
started that report to injure me.
But give me America before any of the
countries, and I am happy to know that I
am again on American soil."
C0BBETT WILL FIGHT MAHEB.
The Californian States That He Is Quite
Willing to Meet the Irishman.
New York, Oct. 29. Special Pugilist
Jim Corbett telegraphs from Harrisburg,
Pa., that he accepts the challenge of Peter
Maher to fight for a purse of $5,000, and to
bind which Maher's backer, Billy Madden,
deposited $1,000.
Corbett added that his manager, Mr.
Brady, would give a formal acceptance of
the challenge.
At midnight Mr. Brady telephoned that
he had got a telegram from Corbett to this
effect: He has deposited S1,000 to bind a
fight with Charley Mitchell or Slavin, and
those are the men he is dnxious to meet. If
this money is not covered by December 15
he will fight Maher before the athletic club
offering the largest stake, winner to get not
less than 530,000.
He thinks that as Maher has not yet
proven himself in the championship class
Mitchell and Slavin are first entitled to his
(Corbett's) attention.
The McKeesport Handicap.
The sprint handicap at McKeesport to
morrow, for which $50 are offered, promises
to be an interesting affair. Quite a number
of local sprinters have entered and entries
can be made on the ground. Outside of the
handicap there will likely be one or two
other contests. A good afternoon's sport is
promised.
Causing lots of Stir.
McKeesport, Oc. 29. Special A.
quoit match for $100 a side to be pitched
here Saturday between Jinks and Ryan is
causing quite a stir among the local sports,
and a good deal of money will change hands.
Sixty-five points will constitute the game
and the pins wjll be set in hard clay 30 feet
apart

NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
rSPECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
ZasesvillX Oct. 29. A'decided sensa
tion has been created in official circles by
the issuing of a summons on the County
Commissioners ordering them to appear be
fore United States Commissioner Norwood
S. Chandler to show cause why they should
not be sent before the grand jury charged
with contempt of the laws of the nation in
refusing to comply with the order of the
Secretary of War.
Before the Muskingum river was turned
over to the general Government a bridge
was constructed at Taylorsville upon plans
approved by the State Board of Public
"Works. The plans provided for a draw
over a canal running along the river.
The United States Government has con
structed a lock on the opposite side of the
river, has formally declared the bridge an
obstruction to navigation and has ordered
the County Commissioners to remove a pier
and construct a draw in the bridge at that
point. This the County Commissioners re
fused to do, claiming that the Government
rendered the changes necessary and should
bear the expense, amounting to some $40,
000. There being no precedent on which to
base a decision the case is attracting much
legal attention.
SUIT FOB $65,000 DAMAGES
Revives a Romantic Story of the Lire of a
Johnstown Woman.
Johnstown, Oct. 29. Special To-day
Mrs. Dr. "W. J. Hammel, with her husband,
began suit for an aggregate of $65,000 dam
ages against the Southern Pacific Bailroad,
for injuries sustained in a wreck November
12, 1890, and the suit brings out an interest
ing story. Twenty years ago Annie Bam
berger, the pretty 16-year-old daughter of
Ozeas Bamberger, a Cambria county farmer,
made up her mind that she would study
dentistry. Annie was sent to a college in
Philadelphia, and after a thorough course
opened an office in Philadelphia in 1874,
being the first female dentist in the
world. Philadelphia papers and business
men made much of her, and she gained a
reputation that brought her a large practice.
In June, 1890, she married Dr. J. W. Ham
mel, of Philadelphia. Just as they were
boarding ship lor a trip through Europe her
husband was arrested for bigamy, the suit
being brought about, it was afterward
learned, by a rival in Miss Bamberger's
affections.
The couple created a sensation by ignoring
the officers and sailing away, making -a
thorough tour of the continent. On their
return, coming by way of the Pacific slope,
they were caught in the horrible Southern
Pacific disaster of November 12, 1890,in
which 12 persons were killed and many in
jured. After nearly a year of suffering they
returned as tar this place. The once beauti
ful Cambria county lady is a pitiable sight,
being afflicted with curvature of the spine
and otherwise badly crippled.
Hospital Charges Flatly Denied.
Conntxisville, Oct. 29. Special.
A careful investigation of the charge that
the Cottage Hospital trustees would permit
no fire in the hospital this fall, and that one
of the patients is now dying of pneumonia
in consequence, proves it to De unfounded.
Michael McNuUv, the man reported to be
dying, is convalescent. Dr. T. H. "White,
Secretary of the Board, says: "It is not
true that there has been no fire in the hos
pital all the fall. I tools it upon myself
some weeks ago to give particular directions
that a fire be made the first cold day. If
there has been any negligence in this
respect it has been the fault of the Superin
tendent." An Explosion Heard 27 BHlcs Away.
ZANESVILI.E, Oct. 29. Special A terri
ble explosion occurred at E. M. Ayer's
clay bank, three miles south of this city
to-day, due to the carelessness of one of the
workmen. Sixty pounds of Jetson powder
and 225" pounds of dynamite exploded.
Some of v the dynamite was being heated
over a stove and caught fire. The shed was
Ignited, which set fire to the powder and
set off the remainder of the dynamite.
Telegraphic inqnirics were received from
New Concord, 20 milps distant, and from
Melta, 27 miles away, inquiring the canse
of the explosion, it having evidently been
heard there.
Preismen and Feeders on Strike.
Akeon; Oct. 29. Special Eighty
seven men, members ot the Akron Press
men's Union and the Akron Press Feeders'
Union, walked out at "Werner's Printing
and Lithographing Company's works this
afternoon. The immediate occasion of the
strike was the employment of a non-union
man. The men claim that while the press
room has not been strictly union there was
an agreement with President "Werner, of
the company, that he would call on the
union to furnish new men when any were
needed. Strikers demand now that the
union be recognized.
A Competing Coal Bailroad.
HOLLIDATSBURG, Oct. 29. Special.

ity she is apparently in robust health.
Sold Beer in Pittsburg Cheaper.
"Wheeling, Oct 29. Special In re
sponse to the demand of the new organiza
tion of saloon keepers the local brewers

price of beer. One of the leading griev
ances of the saloon men was the fact that
