) THE PITTSBURG . DISPATCH.' SUNDAY.' DECEMBER 6, 1891. CAUGHTJIM FAIRLY. That's What Manager Powers Says About the Signing of Catcher Jack Boyle. AFFAIRS OF THE LOCAL BALL CLUB. The High School Football Team Hay an Excellent Game at Little Washington. FEW POINTERS ABOUT POOL TLATIXG Charity Mitchell Coming; t Fijit Jim Corbett General Fportinc. Sews of the Dy. r-rrnjii. teligham to ttte pisrATCH.i SewYokk, Dec. 5. Manager Powers arrived home to-day after an extended huntinpr trip. He was not, however, in quest of deer or partridge, hut simply ball pla ers, and he bagged considerable game. Referring to his success in the capture of Boyle and Fuller, Powers raid: "All my actions in the matter were fair and above board. I made no advances to Boyle until the Cincinnati management had tried and failed to come to terms with the catcher. I was in the room with Boyle and the Cincinnati officials at the time when be said he would under no circumstances sign with the Cincinnati club. I then tlien opened negotiations and jot his name to a contract I think that with Boyle be hind his old pitcher 'Silver' King, we shall have a great battery. As to Fuller, his ability is so wj.l known, it is unnecessary to rcler to it. Hi is in the front rank of shortstops and he is a man of excellent habits." "Have Taylor and Jennings signed con tracts with the Uew York club?" "Xo, but they signed an agreement to sign here, nnJ we expect them to live up to it. Jennings claimed when he was in this city that the Louisville management had promised him a certain amount of advance money, 3nd had failed to keep their agree ment. He therefore said he would not sign there X see they have since pro duced the advance money, and Jennings has changed his mind. I think, however, both men will eventually sign contracts with Xew York." "What about Glasscock"" 'I will tell you the result of my inter view with Glasscock in 'Wheeling." Some time ago I became convinced that his talk with Yon ler Alie was simply for the pur pose of frightening the New York Club officials ar-d inducing them to sign him at an advance in salary. Mr. Day and Mr. Spalding were both in favor of signing Glasscock without delay, but I took the opposite 'view of the case. I belieed Fuller to be a better man than Glasscock for the Xew York team, and I think the change will result in greater harmony among the players." "Whnt about Dinnv Richardson return ing to New York"" 'That story originated in this way: Owing to a railway smash-up I was detained at Elmira and at the hotel met Richardson. We telked for a couple of hours on personal matters, but the idea of his breaking away from the Wagners, of Philadelphia, wa's never broached, and I am confident such a thought has never entered his head. At the same time, I believe that if the 12-club plan goes through, and Richardson could secure an honorable release, he would return to Uew York." HE OUGHT TO BE. Jumping Jack Glasscock Says He Is Satis fied to l'lay in St. Louis. -T. Louis, Dec 5 Special. President Yon dr Alio received a letter from Captain Jack Glascock yesterday morning. The Browns' lien ceptainsaidhe was thoroughly satis fied to play In St. Louis, and that nothing could Induce him to break lii contract and go back to New York. Pat Powers, the flea like manager, who has piloted enough clubs to ruin, and who has recently undertaken the mightj-tnsk of running New York and the baseball business of the country, is now giving the public a taste of the kind of doses they may expect at his hands. He has adopted the sweetly sickening concoction of paragoncs, better kno-nn in baseball parlance as "jolly inc." for the New York public. He has repeatedly announced that Glasscock will play in New York In fact, be has told that lie so oitcn that he now be lieves it himself. This "stringing" may go with some, but when the season opens" and Glasscock is found playing with St. Louis, Mtitne's poor substitute. Dr. Powers, will be looked upon as a funny, funny fellow. Thenajraln, "Manager" Powers you know bo managed Rochester in 190: General Brincker will attrst to that but to return to the libretto, "Manager" Powers has an nounced that he has seen Buckley recently, and Bncklev had said that he (Buckley) never dreamed of plaving in St. Louis since "Manirer" Powers bad officially notified him (Bncklev) of his (Powers') arcesslon to the managerial throne or the New York &.ants-. Buckley was here tl o other day and a newspaper representative had a long chat with him. He eihlblted his two rears' contract with the St. Louis club andsaid that no amount of money could induce him to break it. It can be put down as a settled fact that both Glacocfc and Buckley will wear Brown Stocking uniforms next season. League idolators and managers willing to do the League's dirty w ork to the contrary not withstanding. THE LATEST FROM JENNINGS. Be StatesTliat lie Means to Stick to the Loulstille Club. SctAHToy, Dec 5. icaiaZ. Manager J. C. Cnshman, of the Louisville Baseball Club, left the city at noon to-day, taking with him certain assurances that Hugh Jennings will play as short fleld for Louisville the coming season. Mr Cushman came on to see if there was truth in the reported story that Jen nings had signed with New York. The young man positively assured Mr. Cushman that Ik had not. Jennings admitted that he conditionally agreed to play in New York, but this was be cause fale misrepresentation had been made to him. The friends of Jennings are greatly disappointed oerhis refusal to go to New York, but Jennings could not do otherwise, as Cushman had sent him $1,000 advance money. Local Baseball Affairs. Manager McGunnlgle, of the local ball club, is expected in the city to-morrow. He will have a conversation with the directors about club affairs before the annual meeting Tuesday. He may be induced to release Catcher iRirphy, of whom nobody speaks well asaplajcr. The directors are getting ready lor Tuosdaj's meeting. It is likely that only the requisite quorum will go to Ne Jersey, and that all that will be done will be to elect thp new directors. Tho lat ter will appoint the President, Secretary, etc Trince Is Wavering. Bosto Dec. 5 Special The negorhr tions between the League and the Associa tion baseball officials, looking to the with drawal of the As-sociatlon club from this city and the formation of a 12-club circuit, are off and the Boston Reds will play as last season. The retirement of Mr. G A Prince from active participation in baseball Is cer tain, and it if. said that President J. B. H ut will control the Boston Reds and Mr. Frtco will transfer the controlling interest in the club to the pre.-ideut befoie the week is ended. Four Will Stay. Four of the six clubs in the Western Pcnn- sylvana Football Leagne have resolved to continue the season out. These clubs are: McDonald, New Castle, Homestead and Mc Neesport. If tho schedule is not completed the New Castle will claim the pennant. The members or the Pittsburg club will now turn their attention to cricket and will begin at once to try and organize a league for next leari They intend to help -weak clubs by oaning.a lew players from Pittsburg. It's -All Baebll Now. 'Midpletowj., Dec 5. Special. There is a lull in athletic activity at Wesleyan, now thnt the football season has closed. The manner in which the team wound'up the Beaton was eminently satisfactory to the 'college, and Captain Pullman andhWr'lucky men hare received the highest praise. The college Is now turning toward baseball and discussion is already rife ns to the prospects &JmaiB" nAow "in cro&nS iiSi again be candidates. Aside Irom these, tne treshman class, while it broucht In but little foot bull mate ml, has a number of good baseball plavers so that, on the whole, the outlook Jor "a good team seems unusually bright. M.inager Atkinson has engaged Morgan W. Murphy, the crack catcher of the Boston Association team, to coach the players. Murphy will direct the work of the candi dates in their cage practice, nnd will also re main with the team for a lew weeks after it lakes to the fleld. NEITHEE BCOEKD A POINT.

A game of Rucby football was played at Little Washington yesterday between the teams or the Pittsburg High School and the sophomores of Washington nnd Jefferson Collegp. When it is said that the teams played two halves of 35 minutes each with out scoring, it will be understood that the contest was a great one. The attendance was large nnd the game one of the most excit ing ever plaved in Washington. McNeal and Speer, of the Pittshnrgs, and Logan and Sterritt, of the Washington nnd Jefferson team, played exceedingly well. Neither side scored a point, and honor3 were, therefore, easy.

Jones, of this city, claims to have been the one to detect crookedness in the race in which Templo Bar was expelled in this city. He asserts, however, that Dr. Sales knew nothing of the Job. "I was in the poolroom," said Jones, "when Driver Spears came in and called one of the pool fellers to one Mde. It's fixed then is it?" said Spears. -"Yes, all right," was the reply, "and I don't ln." "No sir, now." "Does Doc," meaning Sale, "know of it!" "No, there's $2,000 In the box though."

Special All reports stating that Willie" Day, the famous dis tance runner, was in tialnlng and would soon be seen on the cinder path again are untrue.

It is said that his family are utterly op posed to his ever running again, and that he has promised; to follow their wishes in the matter. His retirement will mean the loss of one of the best Native born American runners ever seen on the path and be uni versally regretted: A TALK WITH POWEEB. The Champion Pool Player Sara Few Tilings About the Game. Albert G. Powers, the champion pool player of America, talked very interestingly about pool playing yesterday afternoon. Ho is matched to play W. H. Clearwater in the Kast End this week for the championship. During a conversation Mr. Powers said: "The game of pool has made wonderful progress during the last few years. The number of players has increased to a very great extent and the quality of tho playing is mnch better. There are many amateurs now, that is, players who arc second or third rate who aro better players than were the champions a tew yearsago. The continuous pool game gives experts an excellent chance to show their skill. Last year Clearwater pocketed 68 balls straight away which is the record." Mr. Powers went on to say that Frye, -who died about two years ago, was the best pool plaver that ever lived. Mr. Powers also has a very high opinion of De.Oro, Manning and1 Clearwater. The champion went on to say that Eugene Carter is the best all roundman at, billiards and pool in tho world and that fe'w really expert pool players become ex. pert billiard players.

Loughlin, Lorillard A. C; George W. Wood, President of the Standard A. C; Daniel J. Cox, President of the Brighton A. C, will shortly issue a call for the purpose of taking a stand against the exorbitant de mands of the so-called amateur boxer which w ill practically force him to declare himself, and thus give the honest gentleman boxer a chance at the trophies which his skill would bring him. A combination of the leading clnbs is talked of, and the market price of spepial bouts is likely to change be fore January 1 next, as the .organization win oe penectea dv mat time, a promi nent member of the proposed federation said yesterday: "Fifty dollars will be the reigning price, $35 to the winner and $15 to the lo-er, and we can get professional talent if tint does not suit the so-called ama teurs."

There are letters at this office for Pitcher King and Jame Border. What about Mr. Jennings? He is a little unsettled in mind himself. Del Stevekb, of the Climax team, has been very sick during the last few days. A btatejieht comes f rom Chicago definitely stating that there will be a 12-club League. Ed Swabtwood says that Ehret is one of the best tempered young men pitching ball. Vox per Ark i-gain to the front with the statement that the Association will only have eight clubs. It is not likely that ex-Manager Hanlon will attend the annual meeting of the local club stockholders. A cable from London to The Dispatch last evening says: On the Servia, which tailed tc-dav, are Mrs. Captain Beaumont, Miss Vesta Hastings and Michael J. Kelly, the eminent ball player, with his wife and his father-in-law. J. W. Spaxdiso, of the New York Baseball Club, told a reporter yesterday that nego tiations between the League and American Association were going on all the time, and that he had little doubt that the 12-club con solidation scheme would go through. Just previous to his departure from the Hub Joo Qulnn's Boston admirers and they aie legion presented him with a beautiful life-sized oil painting of the poet-Journalist, John Bovle O'Reilly. Joe is very proud of it, and it is needless to add that It is given a prominent position in the private art gal lery of Boston's great little second baseman.

About the most brazen exhibition of gall witnessed for some time is the Cinolnnatl Club's claim to Jack Boyle's services. Here is a club without a sorap of paper to show that Boyle has signed with them, yet they claim they are entitled to his services, and have forced the other league clubs to, keep .hands off. This is praotically reservation, and if Bovle submits to being reserved by a club who has no claim other than its awful "pulse" he deserves to get tho hot end of it. Globe-Democrat. Turf.

"Last winter, like many others, I had a bad spell of 'La Grippe,' and since that time my caso took a more aggravated form, llv throat was sore and swollen so much so that I could seldom speak above a whisper. Then there was a dry and tickling sensation in my throat which caused me to cough a grea't deal, especially at night. I had pains all through my chest, but more severe in the region of my heart and under my shoulder blades. I had shortness of breatii and pal pitation of the heart. I was convinced that my lungs were affected and I feared con sumption. "Along with my other troubles I expe rienced a burning sensttion in my stomach, and also a feeling of fullness and heaviness across it. Mv appetite was verv poor, and wnac 1 ate am me out ntue gooa. "I became discouraged. Life was a burden tp me. I did not tltink I could live a great while in this condition. "I had read of the cures periormed by Drs. Copeland and Hall, nnd, knowing that they had an extensive practice and believing thoir methods of treatment to be the best, I concluded to try them. I am glad that I so decided, for under their treatment all symptoms have disappeared, nnd to-day I feel perfectly well. I know that I am cured." the orrrces op pits. coraLAjn jxd hail siitd W. C.
