ARE VERY HOPEFUL
Officials of the Local Baseball Team
Talk Very Pleasingly of
the Future.
I Headvllle on the 9th inst-..fortbe.purpose of
, Eastern Ohio, Southern New York and
jMjrthwestcrn Pennsylvania. A league club
couia be readily formed hero without Im
porting anv talent, but the lack of available
crounds within a profitable distance, so to
speak, does not Justify the formation of such
a club, nail players, in -writing here this
serins with a view to securinz nosltions in
case of the formation of a league club, will d
oe wasting tueir stamps. Tlieve is lots or
baseball spirit here, and lots of players, but
no place to play ball at a profit.
SULLIVAN DECLARES HIMSELF.
He Offers to Meet Flavin, Mitchell or
Corbett for a Bij Amount
of Money.
M1X0R BALL LEAGUES ALL' RIGHT.
Braatstfad's Good list of Ball Harm General
Eportinp Sews ef the Day.
Officials of the local ball club are be
coming anxious about the ball grounds.
Mr. Friday, who arrived here a few
days ago to assist Mr. Hebrank, thinks
excellent grounds can be made if the
weather only clears up. Everything that
can reasonably be done wilt be done to
make the grounds as good as any grounds in
the League.
Manager BuckenbcrgiT is confident that
all the local players w ill report in good con
dition. He said yesterday: "Some of our
men may come here before April 1 but
none of them will be later than the first of
.April. Everyone of them is aware that all
of them mntt report here in shape to play.
They have all been notified to this effect
and no excuses will be taken.
Must Keep In X.inr.
"Players must now be obedient to officers
or suffer the penalty. There is no P. L or
American Association now, and a sensible
plaver will certainly conduct himself like a
gentleman and plav the best kind of ball he
can. Players who do this v ill lare best.
Our directors and Mr. Temple will insist on
good discipline this year, and players who
aid them will not be Jorgotten.
It is confidently expected that Connie
Mack will be here shortly, and that the club
will come to terms with him. He is worth
more than $2,500 and' will get more than
that. An official of the clnb said last even
ing: "Most assuredly. Mack will get more
than 52,300, but he will not get $3,000.
Things lme altered since last year, but as
general players signed for this year before
the Indianapolis meeting and received good
Falaries it is hardly lair to cut Mack down
to $2,500 this year. But let me say that all
high-salaried men will be cut down next
year and this is only-fair,"
Very Ilnprmi of the Team.
Manager JJuckenberger is extremely hope
ful of his team making a good .show. On
this point he says: "We have almost made
np our minds now as to ifho our team will
he, but the' games we intend to have be
tween our own players may cause 'a change
or two. There is no reason nhy we should
not stand well up in the race from the
start. If Camp and .'Woodcock are as good
pitchers as we havebeen told thev are, ie
will be all right," as Baldwin, 'Ehret and
Galvin are sure to be in good form early in
the s-eason."-
President Temple and Vice President
Kerr are just as hopeful about the team and
the prospects as Manager Buekenhcrger.
The tno tormerare also' satisfied with the
schedule and this shows beyond the shadow
of doubt, that they are inclined to have
harmonv in the Le'aguc Outsiders are
veil satisfied that there is anv amount of
cause lor complaint as iar as Pittsburg and
the rchedule is concerned. But the Pitts
burg officials want to.in all respects,prevent
grumbling at this stage of the proceedings.
HEBE'S A TUSKY ST0BY.
Somebody Really States That Peter Maher

Xew Oki.kas, La., March j. The cat is oat
of the Uajf, and among the few already "on"
there is a howl, tho llko of which has not
been heard t-ince the memorable throw" in
the .Mitchell-LaBlanche fake in 'Frisco in
1891.
The "double-cross" in tho vernacular of
the street was worked in such a manner as
to make the few on the inside risk enough,
forever to bear the fistic ostracism which is
likely to enue. should the evidence in tho
case ever establish their sruilt.
Probably never in the history of pugilism
h.is so deep-laid and adroitly worked a plot
been perpetrated on the public.
The story in brief s as lollows:
Peter Maher, n bo last ntglit got into the
rini? itli Fitzsimmons and whose sorry dis
play, after showing tin as a thunderbolt
ngainst a dozen or so "marks" in the East,
was drugsed. and no one in Fitzsimmons'
comer, either, or for that matter, any of
al-, friends or backers bad any hand in tho
work.
That the tall Dublin man was betraved by
his own "friends;" that these same "friends'
profited hugely by the operation; tnat Gus
Tutbill and others of those supposedly near
est to ilaher were "thrown," is known, and
that there are but two who were In the deal
iscuessedat.
The story aoes that after getting Into the
ring all of the stimulants given to Maher
were "doped," and this is given credence to
by the inertia displayed by at least one of
bis seconds when Ala her was being attended
to between rounds.
That barrels of money came fronTmys
terious sources at the eleventh hour and
that this was offered on Fitzsimmons and
was taken: that under ordinarily honest
conditions Fitz would never have been a
favorite but for this money, "from the cor
ner he fought against," and that Maher
could have been readily "cooked" to re
spond for the thirteenth round, lends color
to the vaeuely indefinite and non-committal
rumors afloat.
So names are mentioned, but that at least
a well-defined clue leads up 10 the conclu
sions cited is certain.

To the Public In General and Frank P. Slaln,
Charles Mitchell and James Corbett In particular:
On the 33th day or August, 1S90, I made
theatrical contracts covering two continu

These facts were well known to everybody,
they having been published In almost cverv
paper throughout the civilized world. I
also keep my contracts, a fact well estab-
iinou uy reierence to my cnuro career.
Ever since the existence of these contracts
between Mr. Harrison and myself being
known this country has been overrun with
a lot of foreign fighters, and also American
aspirants-for fistic laiiw and championship
honors, who have endeavored to seek im
tnrletvnnd American dollar- Ijv challenging
me to fight, knowing full well that my hands
were tied by contract and honor. I, have
been compelled to listen to their ulafty with
out making reply on account of my obliga

seann ends abont June S and wn don't ro
snme again until September J2. This gives
me over three months' time to prepare.
I hereby challenge any and all of the
bluffers who have been trying to make capi
tal at my expense, to fizht me either the last
week in August, this year, or the first week
in September, this year, at the Olvinpio
Club, Xew Orleans, La., fnra purse of $25,000
and an outside bet of $10,000, the winner of
the fight to take thn entire purse. 1 insist

"Sulllivan knows he is safe in challenging
me to flirht," Slavin remarked as Mitchell

HOMESTEAD'S GOOD LIST.
Ball Players That Onr. tittle Neighbor Will
Send Out This Season.
Homestead, without a doubt, will furnish
more professional ball players to the various
leagues than any other town of its size in
the united States this season. ilarK Bald
win heads the list as the best known pitcher
in "the land; Alex Jones comes next, and
then "Hlney" Youngman, who played, with
the r California 'League last"! year. ClarK
Armor 'will play with the Western League.
Alex Jones will pitch for the Louisvilles,
and John Hess, who is also a Homesteader,"
will be bis mtelier.
JackRowe, the famous shortstop of the.
oiauomesteaclciuD.ana wnopiayeuu season
with the Bradford', has refused several
offers" from 'the minor leagues. He has 11

enter the hall -arena. It Is a pity that Rowo

a man like Anson, as ho would soon become
a drawing caTd. Ho'lins all tho qualities

A VETEBA1T8 PREDICTION.
How a Local Pugilistic Admirer Tipped
Pltzslmmons as the Winner.
Two Cays before the Maher and Fitzsim
mons battle a w ell-known local patron of the
manly art made tho followins interesting
statement to the writer. The speaker is an
acknowledged authority, and his statement
will now be read with interest. He said:
"Many people think Maher will win, but
can give no reason for their opinion, and it
is the same with many people who think
Fitzsimmons will win. Now, an opinion
without a reason is worth nothing. I am
told that Dom McCaffrey says Maher will
win. Why, McCaffrey's go with Dempsey
will Just prove that Dom is wrong.
1 saw that go, and Dempsey got the verdict
simply because he kept Dom running after
him all the time, and when a man is running
round like that he gets off his de Tense. This
was the case with McCaffrey and Dempsey
reached him. Fitzsimmons can do this
with Slaher if ho finds he cannot leat him
by standing up. Maher w III then be soon at
the mercy of a good man, and when the tide
turns and-Mahcr Is busy trying to get his
head out of the way he will make a sorry
show. Maher has not had time to be a good
boxer. It requires a long time to develop
pugilistic powers to a high degree. Mnher
is a slugger and a rusher, and: that is all
right only when everything is plain sailing.
"And let me say that men like Billy Mad
den must know that Maher cannot win, and
you can rest assured that Madden has
money net on Fitzsimmons and will win no
matter which man loses."

Eastern and Western Leagues, said that he

It was true, be said that the Eastern peo
ple were somewhat disappointed at the
start the Western had In matter of organ
ization and signing of players, but that Was
inevitable under the circumstances. Tho
Western met in Chicago on January 21-and
formed a complete organization, electing
officers, appointing committees and arrang
ing all necessary details. They organized
upon an entirely new system originated by
themselves, which has met "the heartiest
commendation of the entire basebnll'publlc
of the country, and it will undoubtedly be
adopted by nearly, if not all, minor leagues. J

quired to engage about 100 players to equip

small task, and it has been pusheJ with
energy and Judgment, and when theiWest

the requisite number of players under con
tract. ,-
The Western Association contracts are for
six mouths from April 1 to Oetober-1, in
which it has an advantage of the Eastern,
whose contracts w HI only run from five to
five and u half months, which is due to their
lateness in icettlng organized. The Western
has adopted a salarv limit of $12,00.) per
club, or $2,000 per month for each club. This'
salary limit they are bound under the terms
of the national agreement lately entered
Into with the 12-club League not ta exceed
on pain of a forfeiture of tbe protection of
the agreement. The. Eastern League is also
bound by the agreenrent not to exceed $2,000
ner month per club. Tho advantage, the
Western, has this "rear in the matter of
longer contracts, thus enabling them to pny-
a larger salary lor ine season 10 players,
will only last this season, as next year the
Eastern League will also have contracts of
six mouths' duration. The Western League
is anxious to sign as many of the ex-League
and Association players as possible! and,
while it will not in any case extend the
salary limit established, it will pay more
than any other organization outside the 12
club League, ana will pay every cent it

Mt. - Pleasant, 'PAl'lJarch 5. Great
excitement 'prevails here over tbe disap
pearance of Hdgo Kail, a foreigner, n bo
has...besn .acting as steamship agent and
banker here.. He has teen in business here
for many months. Ue has been made .the
custodian ot a great deal ot money,
and some ;titne ago he: established the
Slavinsky. Bank. As President and owner
of thjs banjc, Hungarian? ,aiid Slavs began
to come in to, ask him. to handle their
money, and send it to the old country or re
ceive it on deposit In this way he is said
to have gathered together.in all over 58,000.
.This morning Jie was, mysteriously absent
from Iiis post, and dozens of anxious callers
were turned "away from, his door with the
reply that Kail was out of town. The
report soon spread, that he had left the
place for good. .Crowds of Hungarians
gathered' abont the office of the Slayinsky
Bank and -threatened to break down the
doors and find their money inside. Many
of the men had recently bought,, tickets to
the old country, paid their' money, but had
as yet received no ticket. These men, with
the many' depositors of the' bank, almost
precipitated , a riot before the police were
called in.to.quiet them,..
Nearly every miner, coker and workman
in this Vicinity had at least a few dollars on
deposit with - Kail, and the excitement on
tbe streets 'to-night is almost beyond con
trol. Those who were well acquainted with
the banker know the least of his where
abouts, and it is asserted that he has left the
county for good.
Several posses of Hungarians and foreign
ers orgaimcd-afonce,' and after telegraph
ing all over the State started to look for him.
A.l.trge .delegation started for Greensburg
late this, evening; but reports from there
state that Kail has not been seen tor several
days. .To-night the disappointed depositors
are urinmng ana riocinir. ana inn sirnecsaro
tilled with exerted foreisners, who threaten
all sorts of bodily harm to the missing man
if he Is found.

the city 'tho Matter has the option ot pur
chasing ho plant dhrtng any year within
the coming ten for $5i,CTO and as much more
as tbe plant has necessarily increased in
value. The elty pavs $3.C00 a year for light
farnlsheUhy the company. 'About a month
ajrd, by-order of the -City Property Com-
mlttee. the City Controller addressed a note
to the Electric Company, asking a statement
of the, amount of material and machinery
and the cost of the same over and above the
amount culled, for in the contract ($3.2,000):
also the amount it will take to buy the plant
in nccardance.with the contract.
The members of the company here now
ptate that the plant has doubled in value.
They also state individually, that the, city
cannot purchase the plant now, and cannot
do so or some years to come, because under
the'State ConstitnHon'tlj' city's indebted
ness cannot go beyond 7'per cent of ltd total
asxessed valuation, and that Oil City's In

thou?h it conld be purchased for $5-2,000. As
the plant has only been in operation slncelast
Jnne, not a few-taxpayers are wondering to
whatamonnf. necessarily or otherwise, the
valne of it will be increased by tho time the
city has the right to purchase the same, if it
has not the right now. Further, investiga

An Assessment Ruling In'Beaver County the
Target for indignation.
Beaver Falls, March 5 Special. The
recent action or the Commfs-loners of this
county in increasing the assessed valuation
of property in this place has raised a storm
of protest. Iu the First ward the valuation
has been, increased 20 per cent, and in the
other wards 10 per cent. .Last night a large
and enthusiastic meeting was held at the
Central Hotel by the First ward property
owners, and a strong protest was formulated
and signed by over 103 of the largest prop
erty owners in that ward. The protest char
acterizes the action of the Commissioners as
arbitrary, un ust and unfair.
, It has been learned that the Commission
ers have 'gone on the presumption that
dwellers in towns are rich and gettlmrricher
every day, while those in tbe country are
poor and getting poorer, therefore they have
Increased the taxation in towns, while a cor
responding decrease has been made in, the
rural distrl6ts.- New Brighton, Rochester
and other towns are suffering from the same
ruling, and last night's meeting was but a
.prelude to a grand cnorus or protests that
will assail the ears of the Commissioners
within the next two weeks.
