'o branch of sport or recreation has
made a much progress in Pittsburg during
the last 12 months as bowling, and as a
result, on the 16th inst a big contest will
commence among the leading clubs of the
East End and Oakland. The public have
little idea how the local bowling clubs have
piin in strength lately, and it i safe to
say that between 800 and 1,000 are members
of East End club alone. The leading or
ganizations are the Bcllefield, the Linden
am! the East End Gymnastic clubs. Such
sirrng rhalry has de eloped among those
clubs that Mr. IX H. Hostettcr l-a3 offered
a valuable silver cup to be contested for by
team-, representing the clubs named. The
cup is now being designed by 51r. "Wattles,
the local jeweler.
The Terras or Contes4.
The terms or the contest are such that it.
may probably l.e a long time before any par
ticular club bev.cies absolut possessor of
tl.e valuab'c trophy. There will be three
contests o matches, that 15 one on the alleys
of each club ard no club can win the cup
without winning threj straight matches.
Xoolubi compelled to be represented by
the same five players a cverr match; changes
cfln tie maJc at any time. The first contest
will take place at HelleCeld on the evening
of the lfiih inst. the second at the EVst End
gymnasium, and the third at th Linden
Club. Xo club has made a definite selec
tion of its teari ver, but contests are
!3King piace nightly at the various
slieys a:, a means of oetcrmining
the best player?. .At each club all the
players who want to be on the teams who
will con-est for the cup are requested to
tak part in 12 games and the five having
the best awragts will be the team to repre
sent their clrn. This arrangement is in it
slf causing lot of fun amon; the leading
nusinp.es im?n who are soortirelr inclined
and it is also increasing the membership of
the various clubs to a very great extent.
?lcmlcrs Are Prominent Men.
The clubs are made up of the most promi
nent business men in the citv and by their
efforts bowling promises to become one of
the leading pastimes in Pittsburg. It ought
to be. JSelleficld Club has a membership of
-110 and nas lour excellent alleys. JL. W. .
Itidwell is President and J. V. Herron is
Secretary. The alleys of this club are well
patronized every evening, and among its
players are some very good ones. They ex
pect to make a strong bid for Mr. Hostct
tcr's troniiv.
The Linden Club has a membership of
.y. ana they nave also tour goca alleys.
1). McIC. Lloyd is rcsideit, and It. C
Duncan is secretary. It is expected that
this club will soon become a verv stronc
organization, as there is a large number of
Hustlers among us members.
Hut the strorgest club of the three as far
as membership is concerned is the East
End Gvms. The Gyms are in everything,
and are always' well represented.
A tronc Club.
Their bowling clnb has a membership of
eve- .5vU, ana mere are some really gooa
bowlers ainons thm. They are confident of
winn'ug the silver cap, and there is sure to
be some livclv work between them and the
Bcllefic!d.
It is safe to give every encouragement
possible to the came of bowls. It is called
the "gentleman's, game," but as an exercise
civing pastime it cannot well be excelled.
It is growing, and very rapidly, in popu
larity in everv lanre city in the United
States In New Yirk several club contests
lor valuable prizes are now going on, and
numerous new club; are being organized. If
the local contest in question proves as suc
cessful as auticipated others will follow.
DOS'T LIKE THE SCHEME.
Leading Athletes Not in Favor of Mr. Jans
sen's Xeir Association.
Kew York, ov. 4. Special The
leading amateur athletes in the liist are not
taking kindly to the new scheme proposed
by Mr. Janssen. Yesterday a prominent
athlete said:
"The scheme is transparent. What use
is there for organizing the league if it isn't
to have jurisdiction over sports? That's
what the Amateur Athletic Union exists
for. and the new association proposes to
take in the clubsthat compose the backbone
of the A, A. U. The result would simply
be to array the silk stocking element in
athletics against the humbler class, and the
outcome would bo disastrous to all branches
of sport. The claim that the new body
would not antagonize the A. A. U. is all
rubbisli. Janssen's strictly confidential
and not for publication circular states dis
tinctly that the proposed league is to foster
and promote all sports, games and pastiieis
of every description to the particular ad
vantage of its own members, and independ
ently of all other organizations in the
United States and Canada. Now, how can
it endeavor to take all sports under its
wing and still not antagonize the A. A. U.,
the object of which is to foster and control
all branches of sport? The assertion is ab
surd, and al! athletic clubs which desire to
bee spons and pastimes continue on a
healthy basis ill fight bhy of this wild
eyed scheme."
When F. W. Janssen was quesjioned, he
said: "This plan will in no wise interfere
with the A. A. C, or any other body, and
I claim the organization will result benefi
cially to athletics. At any rate the
clubs to which I have sent the circular are
very favorably impressed with the idea.
Five clubs have already officially joined the
league, while manv others have notified me.
that they are considering the plan and look
upon it'with approval. The clnbs which
have joined are the Staten Island A. C,
Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Xavy.Phil
adelphia: Columbia Athletic Club," Wash
ington, ). C; Athenafuni Club, Toronto,
Out., and the Providence A. C, of Provi
dence, II. I. Among the clubs tliat are
favorably impressed with the idea and are
apt to join arc the Berkeley Athletic Club,
of this city; Detroit Athletic Club, Olympic
Athletic Club, of San Francisco; Manhattan
Athletic Club, of New York; Englewood
Field Club, Omige Athletic Club, Mont
clair Athletic Club, St. Louis, Mo. There
is plenty room for the new league, and I am
confident of success."
Dartmouth Won.
r.w Youk, Nor. 4. Special The
third match of the Eastern Inter-Collegiate
Football League was played at Hobokcn
to-day between Stevens institute and Dart
mouth. The New Hampshire team were in
excellent trim They kept the ball in their
opponents territory most of the first half,
but during the second 45 minutes
scrimmages were equally distributed. The
final score was '?! to 12 "in favor of Dart
mouth. A Successful Tour.
QUEEJfSTO'SVTr, Nov. 4. Lord Hawke,

day on the steamer Cily of Xew York, after
a stormy passage from New York. He de
clared that hisltour in the United States
had been highlv successful, and that he will
revisit America in"lS93 with another eleven
of picked cricketers.
A DEFINITE OFFER.
The California Athletic Club Will Give
87,500 for a Contest Between Jim Cor
bett and Fetor Slaher in January Next
Probable Battle Between I Blanche
and O'Brien.
Xew York, Nov. 4. Special The fol
lowing special dispatch was received at the
Police Gazelle office to-day from K. Valen
tine, the Chairman of the Boxing Commit
tee of the California Athletic Clnb:
"At a meeting of the Boxing Committee
of the California Athletic Club to-day it
was decided to offer a purse of 57,500 for a
contest between Peter Maher, the Irish
champion, and Jim Corbett, to bo held
under the auspices of the club in January.
Will you please nse your influence and cor
respond with Maher and Corbett in regard
to the matter."
After the above was received Billy Mad
den, Maher's' manager, and Jim Corbett
were wired for their reply. There is every
probability of an international prize ficht
being arranged between Jack O'Brien, the
famous English middle-wcisht, and George
La Blanche, the Marine, who is now living
in Ogden, Utalu Recently the Police Ga
zette correspondent in London cabled as
follows:
"O'Brien called at the Sporting Life office
to-day and issued a challenge to fight
George La Blanche, the Marine, at 11
stone, in the National Athletic, Bolin
broke or Pelican Clubs, or in the club of
fering the bicgest purse, and will allow La
Blanche 50 for expenses. O'Brien's
backer will also back him for 500 inde
pendent of the purse, if the American ha3
a backer. O'Brien has posted 50 with the
Sporting Life to show he is in earnest."
To-davthe following replv was received
from Le" Blanche: "1 see that Jack O'Brien,
of London, England, wants to fight me in
the National Clnb, London, and that they
offer a purse. I will go over to Encland
and fight O'Brien if he will allow 5300 for
expenses the monev to be sent to the Police
Gazette office. I will fight O'Brien for the
biggest purse that anv responsible club will
offer, at 148 pounds. If this suits O'Brien
the National Club can deposit $300 with
Ilichard IC Fox and the match can be
ratified. "Gr.ORGr. Lr. Blanciik,

WILL BE MANAGES HIMSELF.
Ton Dcr Alio Talks of Eis Flans And
of
Players Deserting Illm.
St. Louis, Mo.. Nov. 4. Spenal The
news that the entire Brown Stocking team
had bid farewell to St Louis for all time to
come caused President Von der Ahe to cut
his fishing trip a little short and he is to
day on his old stamping ground. He looks
somewhat worried at the turn things have
taken, yet he laughs at the idea of St. Louis
not having a first-class bait team next sea
son. It is a sure thing that Comiskey will
not play here next season as Von dcr Ahe
says that hs would not think of paying hira
anything like the figures offered him by the
President of the Cincinnati club; that a'good
first baseman, second baseman and another
player can "be signed for the same amount
of money offered to Comiskey by Cincinnati.
The boss President is sorry to think of
losinc the Captain, but he believes that if
he handles the men himself St. Louis will
be up among the leaders at the end of next
season. It is a well-known fact that Coin
iskev is a poor hand to give away his
private business, and a secret carried by him
is as safe as if it was locked tip in a safe
deposit bank and guarded by 1,000 soldiers.
When asked whether he had really signed a
contract to play with the Cincinnati team
next season, he" said that there was plenty
ot time to make that publ'e, but that he telt
pretty sure of playing with Brush's club in
1892, and those who know the big Captain,
aud understand him thoroughly, can tell
pretty near where he will be found next
season, after having said this.
Besides the Western Leaguers already
signed by Von der Ahe, he will try to se
cure Dungau, catcher, who is said to be as
good as any man who played in the Asso
ciation last season. McMah'on mav possibly
be signed, too. A strong eflort will be made
to induce Boyle to sign for another season,
as it will be a difficult task to fill his shoes,
but is is a pret'.y sure thing that Boyle will
go with Comiskey to Cincinnati. Fuller is
badly wanted, too, as the boss President re
alizes the laci thai his shoes will be hard to
fill. Ileports have reached here from the
East that the League intended to increase
its circuit to ten clubs, and that St Louis
and Baltimore were to be used to fill out
with, and that people with large capital
would back the Mound City team; but
nothing is known here about it. Ex-Manager
W. H. Watkins was here to-day hob
nobbing with President Von dcr Ahe, bnt
the former claimed that he was on other
business than baseball.
HAEVABD VEEY CONFIDENT.
Its Fooball Flayers Certain of Defeating the
Team From Tale.
SFRlxcrEi.D, Nov. 4. Will it be Yale
or Harvard in the coming football contest
at Hampden Park? This is the question
that is vigorously discussed in this city.
Harvard men express "themselves as certain
of victory. While admitting that their
team is not as strong as lastyear, they claim
that Yale is playing a weaker game just
now. This is not borne out bv the practice
of the blues. They appear to be putting up
a still gane, and will go into the contest
here on November 21 full of confidence.
The city is happy in having secured the
games for tlu next four years, and the citi
zens, will do all in their power to favor the
boys and help make the games successful.
Work on the big grand stand will begin
soon. The stand will be a circular one, and
it will have a seating capacity of 22,000 per
sons. Twenty-three feet from the stand the
field will be roped off for the plavers, train
ers and reporters. Excursion trains will be
run on all the railroads entering Spring
field, and reduced rates of fare will be of
fered. Harvard will probably quarter at
the Cooley House, where the team put tip
last vear, and Yale will doubtless eo to the
Massasoit.
Most of the hotels already have been be
sieged for accommodations. A large dele
gation of Smith College girls intend to be
present, and a number of young ladies will
also be on hand from Vassar. There willbe
fewer tally-ho parties this year, because the
new grand stand will shut out their view.
The expense for fitting up the stands and
rental of the park is something like 55,000.
The Browns Easily Downed.
WilliamstCiWU, Nov. 4. Special
Williams easily downed Brown University
here to-dayto the tune of 58 to 0. Brown
did not have a representative team as her
best men have been laid up at one time and
another during the past few weeks. Will
iams played steadily.
Brnsh Secures Coiniskfy.
Indianapolis, Nov. 4. Special
John T. Brush announced last night that he
had secured Comiskey to play with and
manage the Cincinnati team next season.
Comiskey had a long conference with Brush
here yesterday. The stipulated salary was
not given, but it is said to be not less than
57,000.
Sir. O'Nell Goes West.
J. Palmer O'Neil, ex-President of the
local baseball club, left for Chicago last
evening. His mission was partly on private
business and partly for the " local club.
While away he may. sign one or two new'
players. He'will return this week.
A Ieap in the Dark.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. After several
days' consultation with .the owners of the
Athletic club Koger Connor, first baseman,
and Daniel Richardson, second baseman of
last season's New York team, to-night
signed personally guaranteed contracts with
the Wagner brothers to play with the local
Association club for three years. Hoy, the
mute outfielder, has also signed an Ath
letic contract

Fop
Acts Squarely With the Clnb and Is
Ready for Kext Season.
Word was received in the city yesterday
afternoon to the effect that Manager Mc
Gunnigle had signed Corkhill to play for
the Pittsburg club next season. Corkhill,
although offered more money to play else
where, considered that his contract with
Pittsburg was binding for next year because
of the option clause it contained, and he
willingly signed a definite contract for next
season. " He receives the same rate of salary
as he got last season. A portion of advance
money was forwarded him yesterday.
It is expected that Manager McGunnigle
will sign one or two more players before
the week is ended. Mark Baldwin will
probably not sign until next February or
March. Last vear he signed on February
27, and may wait until that date this time.

Sullivas and his friends now declare that
he has not "touched a drop" for a very long
time. The question is: How long?
There is evidently a disturbing element at
work among all branches of sports. There
is now troublo among the athletes.
Jack Crooks and Phil Knell, of the Colum

thrown down.
AnouT two years aco Amos Rnsle was

Indianapolis for $1 50 a day. Now ho de
mands $6,0C0 for six months' w ork.
The desire of prominent National League
players to join the Association is not one
tenth asstioug as it is to scare the League
magnates into increasing salaries.
If there is anything like gratitude and the
spirit of fair play in the players of the Cin
cinnati team of last season, thev would all
willingly sign with Mr. Brush for next sea
son. It is evident that Zaek Phelps desires to
be a funny man. His latest joke is that the
American Association will have a ten-club
circuit next year. The circuit will never be
that big, hut the Association may experi
ment with twice ten clubs during next
season.
Fitcker "Ed" Crane has written several
letters tol'iesident Day asking for a posi
tion on the -New York team next season. If
ho agrees to keep sober and is in good con
dition he will most likely be signed by the
New Yorks. His contract with the Cincin
nati was only for a part of last season, and
was not binding for 1S92.
When Secretary Tan Hamm. of tho Cin
cinnati, approached Second Baseman Mc
Pliee a few days ago and tried to sign him

He assured the official that he had no in
tention of playing in any other city than
Porkopoljs. lie promised to sign with the

rough work compelled him to retire. 31c
Clung was in Ins old place at half back. This
was his first appearance since he broke his
thumb in the game with Stagg's eleven. Mc
Cormick again distinguished himself by
kicking a goal fiom the field at the 30-yard
line. The practice is said to have been the
best of the season. .
BAEILLAS UNMUZZLES THE PEESS.
A Desperate Expedient to Hold DZis Office
Till His Term Expires.
Citt of Mexico, Nov. 4. Advices re
ceived from Guatema'a are, to the effect that
affairs in Guatemala have undergone a ma
terial change within the past two weeks.
Where President Barillas has heretofore
muzzled the press and banished journalists
the most absolute liberty in writing is now
allowed, and the newspaper men are taking
advantage of the opportunity to score the
government.'
The change of heart has been occasioned
by his terror that he will be deposed before
his term of office expires in December. His
previous arbitrary acts have him so unpop
ular that should he attempt to imprison an
other journalist a revolution would follow.
Barillas has been advised bv his Cabinet to
leave Guatemala, but this lie refuses to do
until after the elections. His mode at
present is simply the only means he can de
vise to hold the Presidency until the expira
tion of his term.

KEWST NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
rSPECIAI. TELEGBAM TO THK DISPATCH.!
Erie, Nov. 4. United States Marshal
Barring turned up another manufacturer of
spurious money to-day. The prisoner is
Farmer William Van Nauler, of Venango
borough, Crawford county. Van Nauler
was the owner of- the molds with which
James McCormick, now in the Scranton
jail, and William Seeley, also in custody,
manufactured the spurious money which
they circulated at the Stoneboro, Cambridge
and other county fairs.
Miss Nettie Morgan, who was arrested at
the same time that Seeley was taken, and
was also captured by Detectives Mc
Sweeney and McManus, is a valuable pris
oner, saying more than is good for lover.
Miss Morgan is but 15 years of age and
quite comely. Her mother, fearing that
her daughter will be sent to the State Ee
formatory, claims that her daughter is older
than she really is.
The girl was used by Seely and his gang
as a sort of treasurer, and as custodian of
the supplies. The molds were found in her
possession, wrapped in a nightdress. The
gang used Van Nauler's houe as a fence
and operated their mint there, which was,
withal, quite crude, and the products could
only be circulated among rustics.

"A'est End Record. Hear what he says of tho
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, its physi
cians and mode of treatment. "I think I had
la grippe last winter, although my catarrhal
tronbles dated back to about two years ago.
My head had a stuffed-up feeling in the
morning, my right ear often pained me, had
naln in inv sides, could not sleei) well and
Licit tired and languid. Tho tough innctis

raise. My appetite failed, bad belching of
gai after, eating, and my stomach wa so
weak I had to lie careful of my diet. Tho
disease Anally reached my lungs so that I
often felt soreness in niv chest. Not being
able to find relief and gradually getting
wore, I became ' afraid I would run into
consumption unless I soon obtained help."
"Reading of so many enres made bv the
physicians of tho Catarrh and Dyspepsia In
stitute, ar.d that they were catarrh special
ists, I consulted them. They made no big
promises, but referred me to others who had
been cured of conditions worso than mine.
This gave me some hope, and, Tlnding their
terms reasonable and within my reach, I
took a courco of treatment and became
cured."
"I now feel well and strong as even'. I
have since induced scvorul of my friends to
go to these specialists, for I feel very grate
ful for what they have done for me. I shall
always recommend these physicians as
worthy the name of specialists and shall bo
glad to further desciibe my case to anyone
who may call at my home. .
