MEETING OP CLUB DIRECTORS, latest Scire and Gossip Concerning the Big To Shor to Be Held Here Thjs Week. COEBETTS OPINION OP SULLIYAN. West Knd Athletes Apply for Membership in the A. A. C General Sporting Stirs. Evertbing is activity among the local baseball magnets now. They meet almost every day and they are in anticipation of a pood opening time. Yesterday aiternoon President Temple said: "I am thoroughly satisfied at the way things are progressing, but there is one thing I wish the public to emphatically understand, viz, that we are going to give Jerry Denny a trial here. "We have every thing to gain and nothing to lose by engag ing him. He will cost us nothing and if he turns oat to be anything like he was a season or two ago we will be very great rainers. This is the way to look at the matter. McAleer states that during the winter Denny has been playing an extra ordinary game at third in the far "West. If he can keep this up then we are all right I want Denny to understand that there is no opposition to his coming here and that if he conducts himself all right he is likely to fill the bill in all respect". This statement is definite; Denny will be here if we can arrange terms with him. Hotels For the Pluyers. Manager Bnckenbcrger has arranged his list of hotels at the various cities where the local team will stay. Thev nre as follows: 2few York and Brooklvn, Sturtevant; Phil adelphia, Continental; Boston, United States; "Washington, Randal; Baltimore, Eutaer; Cleveland, Hollenden; Chicago, Tremont: Cincinnati.Gibson: Louisville.The Louisville. The hotels, it will be observed, are all of a hijh standard, so that the boys will have nothing to grumble aboat on that score. An exhibition game has also been ar ranged with the Beading team, to be played at Heading July 14. The Beading players are very anxious to tackle the Pittsburgers, and doubtless the contest will be a profitable cne it the weather is fine. Begarding the proposed Cuba trip in the fall. Manager Buckenberger said: "Mr. Kelly, of Jlobile, has the grounds leased at Cuba, and he is not inclined to give them up, so I fear that our trip will be knocked on the head. Of course, our trip would be a speculative one; that is, the club would in no way be responsible for it. I think we conld make money. I have just had a letter from Billy Earle, and he tells me that he is determined to surprise everybody in Pitts burg this season. He Is in Excellent Condition, and it may be that he will play a creat came. Our players at Hot Springs are also doing extremely well, and I think they are making money. The receipts of the games are divided into three parts, the two teams each getting a part and the Park As sociation the other. There will be some exciting playing there this next week." Speaking of the opening day here, the manager stated that there will be an excur sion train from "Wheeling on that day,as the "Wheeling patrons of the game want to see their townsman. Jack Glasscock, play. The probabilities are that if Denny is secured and is all right he will be on third on the opening day and Farrell in left field. The directors of the club held a meeting yesterday afternoon and definitely decided to have 1,000 25-cent seats in deep center field. This was almost the only available place, as to have them erected in any other location would have interfered with the present seats. The directors were not in clined to do this. A turnstile will be built for the new seats at the corner of the park next the Union bridge. The directors also decided to put in two more new turnstiles for the regular seats. A TEEAT FOE SHO0IEES. Three lAre Hird Contests Arranged to Take Place at Exposition Park. There is indeed a great treat in store for the shooters of Western Pennsylvania and any others who may come here this week.

This year it Is in tended to Improve the grounds, enlarge the grandstand and rpmodel the club house, The tennis tournament will commence early thi-s j car. Carr Denies It. Srw YoitK, March 12. It was rumored at the track and in this city this afternoon that Guttcnburg would hold its summer meeting at Jerome Park. The rumor proves to be entirely without foundation. John C. Carr, Secretarv of the Hudson County Jockey Club, said that it his association raced next summer in opposition to the Board of Con tiol meetings, Guttcnburg would be the scene of the sport. The Executive Commit tee had been asked to open negotiations for the rental of Jerome Park, he said, but had no Intention of doing it. The whole story grew out or the news from Trenton that the Sew Jersey Legislature would prohablv take no action on the race-track bills and the desire of the owners of Jerome Park to find a tenant. Re Is Heady to Sign. Ottawa, Oar., March 12. Charley Mitchell, the pugilist, was interviewed here regarding John L. Sullivan's challenge, when he said th.it if Sullivan mennt business a match w ould bo arranged within 24 hours. "I have had nothing to say In the matter since the first day he made his bluff," said Mitchell, "and I am willing to let him make the ar rangements. He may name the purse, bat tleground, date and referee, and I will accept his challenge. All he has to do is to sign ar ticles of agreement and forward them for my signature, and you can rely on me affix es my name to them. Anson Will Bid. Srr.GS, Ahk, March 12.

THE BIG D06 SHOW. Benches From the New York Show to Be Used Up Here To-Morrow Valuable Challenge Cups Arrive for the Matt Ills All Cla.se. to He Well Represented. The great local doc show will commence Tuesday in the Auditorium and to-morrow the work of arranging the benches will be commenced. Superintendent Keed will have charge of the work, and the same benches will be here as were used at the New York show. The handsome challenge cups donated ty the American Mastiff club, valued at $600, arrived In the city yesterday, and are now on exhibition at Grogan's Jewelry store, cor ner Market street and Filth avenue. These cups must be won by do?s belonjiing to members or the clnb, and to become the property of an indivldualmnstbe won three times consecutively by the same dos. The cnpi are very handsome and are nDout the most valuable ever offered for competition at a lojj show. Other valuable special prizes will be dis tributed after the decisions have been made on the disposition of cash prizes. Four thousand dollars in cash and special prizes w ill be distributed, which is over 82,000 more than was ever offered In this city before. The coming snow will introduce several new varieties of dozs to this locality, and one ot the most interesting signts win ne a kennel of four hairless Mexican poodles be longlnjr to Mrs. Dr. Waujtli, of Allezhenv City. Secretary I.ittell is enthusiastic over this lot, as bethinks they are just about as clever tor" a small dog as any, and then their appearance is, to say the least, decidedly original. Secretarv tittell offered prizes and tried hard to secure an exhibit of Japanese poodles, but they are a scarce commodity In this country at present and those shown at the Madison Square Garden show were principally the property ofwealthy ew Torfcers and were not to be shown outside of that city. Small dop weie never shown in any variety be foro and they are sure to attract more attention from the ladles and children. A clever col lection of doxs in the different Spaniel classes will prove an interesting feature. In short, all classes of dogs will be well represented: In fact, better than they have been before in this city. JIM COEBETTS OPINIONS. He Talks Abont Eii Proposed Fight With the Rig Fellow. Xrw York, March 12. The sporting man of a morning paper opens his column thus: "I met Jim Corbett in the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, yesterday, and had quite a chat with him. 'Yes,' said he, 'I consider myself as good as matched with Sullivan. I will cover his $2,500 in full next Tuesday, and I will then be fully prepared to sign articles to meet him. I understand he is perfectly willing to. recognize my right to lefuse to fight before the California Athletic Club, and that is about the onlv thing that would prove an obstacle to our getting to gether.' -I don't think John did right, Coibett continued, 'in stigmatizing me as 'bom bastic' I have never challenged him specifically, and I have never spoken of him in a derogatory manner. I don't Intend to do so now. I will bay, however, that unless I thought I could hold my own with him and do a little better I would not permit my friends to put up $10,000 to back me. I sin cerely trust and hope that when the match is made Sullivan -will train fully and thor oughly under some good man, as I it ill, and that lie will step into the ring in the very best possible condition. If 1 defeat him, as 1 hope and expect to do, I don't want either him or his friend to mako excuses like Oh, if the big follow had been In shape he would have won.' I want him to be John L. Sullivan at his very best. If I shouldfail to beat him I will only have to sav thatT will get the dose that he lias given many another good man. I don't think, however, I will be beaten. Though I am from condition, I am as stronr as I was when I fought Veter Jackson, and I expect to be ns fine as a fiddle when I toe the scratch with Sullivan. I will have hot weather to train In, and hot weather is what I am used to and love. 1 don't want to be vainglorious, but I think Sullivan and I will make a fight worth seeing. We are both of good Irish stock and neither or us will quit while we can stand on our feet.' " HOMESTEADS NOT WILLING. The Team There Do "ot Want to Join the County League. Secretary Miller, of the County League, stated yesterday that the Homestead club is not inclined to join the League. He said: "The Homestead people are opposed to Join the League and take the place of Chai tiers because they claim according to arrange ments the Chartlers club was intended for very few favors. But I think we may get matteis all right. Of course if we cannot get Homestead we will have to reduce our League to four clubs and I would hate to have to do that" A member of the Homestead clnb said hist evening: "I think we can do better as an independent cluD. There will be lots of good teams in Western Pennsylvania this season and there is more monev in special games than in the County League." English Chess Tourney. Loxdox, March 12.

L. Washington, the Pittsburg breeder and fancier, who -has owned more Irish setter champions than all of the other Irish setter breeders combined. Champion Dick Swlv eler has upward of 40 first and special prizes to his.'ciedlt.and has the phenomenal locord of having won the first prize at .the New York shotr the last three years in succession. He has won first prize at all of the principal cities in America, as far west as Denver, south to New Orleans and throughout Can nda, traveling upward Of 20.000 miles, and has defeated all of the Irish better cham pions llVlll(. - , Champion Dick Swiveler. Dick Swlveler Is now in his prime, being but-5 years old, and .boasts a pedigree ex tending some 15 generations, tracing to the greatest bench champions and field trial winners that have - ever lived, many of which were owned by the nobllitv of lie land. . He possesses, therefore, the bluest of blue blood and IS worthy of being the cham pion of champions that he is. Among other Irish setters that will be shown from the same kennel is the young dog Troubadour, for whom a great future is predicted. Molly D, a promising young bitch of the highest breeding, and Iroquois. Old champion Laura B. the once champion Irish setter bitch ot America, will also be on exhibition.- She was at the head of Mr. Washington's kennels while In her prime, and was -old by him two years ago for $2,000, the highest amount that has ever been paid lor an Irish setter in the world, excepting the price that was paid for her half sister champion Buby Glenmore, the present champion Irish setter bitch of America,who was sold bv Mr. Washington last fall at the same figure. TO IMPB0VE EACE H0BSES. A Uew Bute Relating to FoalsFavored by English Trainers, ly? BT CABLE TO TUB DISPATCH.l LosDOif, March 12. The proposal of Gen eral Owen Williams, to alter the laws of thoroughbred horses, should be dated from the 1st of March, will probably be accepted' by the Jockey Club. The practical effect of such an alteration would be that foals would be born two months Inter than at present. Now thev are born at the most Inclement season of the year, when they often have to be kent shut ud In a warm stable, and when there is no sweet young grass for themselves' ortneiraams. Those witnesses who were examined on this point before the Royal Commission on horse breedinir. Including Duke of Beaufort and such experienced traineis ns John Porter and Matthew Dawson were unani mously of opinion that a foal bom late In the spring has the best chance of developing into a sound and healthy animal. Indeed John Porter went so far as to say that he never knew a May foal who turned out a roarer. The only feasible objection to Gen eral Williams' pioposal lies in the tact, if "it be a fact, that early foals grow into bigger horses, but many people think that British race horses are as a breed becoming exces sivelvtall. A horse approaching 17 hands in height rarely stands much training and can hardly ever stay over a mile and a half. HTJSTLING AT HOMESTEAD. Lots of Subscriptions to Hack a Gaod Hall Team There. Active steps are being taken for the organ ization of a crack baseball club In Home stead. Subscription books are in circulation for the purpose ot raising money with which to buy. suits. One book has subscriptions in it amounting to over $70. At least $200 will be required, ancUfrom the present outlook there will.be no trouble in obtaining that muck or more. It Is proposed to tecure grounds on the' West Bun shooting lango, bnt tef will not be fenced in, ns that would require too much money, and the lease only runs one year. Homestead hasjust as good material tor a home clnb as it ever had.. There" are no better players outside the piofessional leagues than the following well known bojs: "IHney" Toungman, Jack Rowe, Wm. Bennett, Harrv and Harve Col gan, "Jack" O'Seil, William Barnes, "Bob" Woods, Joseph Brvce and Wm. Gray. Al Cram also lives In Homestead, and Harris, a former player with the Braddock Blues. A club compi islng the above players could not be excelled in the county or Western Penn sylvania. All that is needed Is a'first-class manager. It is hardly likely that the club will care to grt itito the County Leagne, but will remain Iree so they can excurt to any of the neighboring towns in this end of the State. A meeting will be called In a few days for the purpose of effecting an organ ization. THE WEST EKD GYMS. They Apply for Admission to the A. A. V. and Hake Two Entries.

Holllngsworth misled his first four birds, which handicapped him considerably. The result was: Quinn 9 and Holllngsworth 7. "Another Bald at Gnttenbnrg. Gutteabiirq, March 12.

Mitchell Oat 'in Another Letter and Slavln Pats In a Word. Torosto, Ost., March 12, Charlie Mitch ell, in a newspaper letter, says: "I still stick to my original declaration. I will fight for the Olympic Club's $25,000 purse and a $2,500 side bet. I will also post an other $2,500 that I will be in the ring, this to be forfeited to Sullivan If 1 am not there. The reason I refused all along to accept a $10,000"side bet was from an ordinary specu lator's standpoint. Why should I wager this large'sum of money when I will likely secure better odds, pei haps 4 tol or 3 to 1? However, 1 hereby declare that 'I will have $10,000 at tho ringside to wager at tho then prevailing odds. If themaikot Is even my $10,000 will be ready to go up against Sulli van's $10,000 " Both Mitchell and Slavln stated that should Sullivan agree to fight in England they would put up a wager ot X50.000. Jimmy AVakely, John L. Sullivan's hacker, interviewed at New York, said: "I don't pay any more attention to what Mitchell says than I would to a bootblack. Our money is already up; let him cover it. I would sooner have a matoh with Mitchell, however, than Corbett, and I would like to have Mitchell take the thing out of Corbett's hands. Not that I think It would be easier, but because we want to quiet Mitchell once and forever. He won't fight, though, you may rest assured. Wo won't accept any such offer as these two talkers make, because they don't mean business. We are willing that Mitchell should put up the money on the installment plan." Dixon and Johnson. Butpalo, March 12. Special. Manager Tom O'Eourke has received a letter from the Coney Island Athletic Club, offering a puree of $4,C00 Jor the proposed match be tween George Dixon and Fred Johnson, the English bantam weight.

Mr. O'Romke said he had no objec tion to the club and place, but a $.',000 purse will have to be offered before Dixon will fight there. A Buffalo club IS considering the idea of offering a purse lor the match. Itnnnlng High Jump Record Broken. Bethlehem, Pa., March 12.
