THE COUNTY LEAGUE SCHEDULE
There were about 800 people at the ball
game yesterday at Exposition !Park, and,
while they did not see anything brilliant,
they saw something interesting now and
again. Of course, nobody need go to the
grounds expecting to see a first-class base
ball argument when one team are profes
sionals and the other team are youngsters
who have to leave their manual toil for 12
hours to take part in the game. The great
idea of the game is to measure the worth ot
onr local amateurs and give practice for the
expected world beaters who belong to the
rittsburg club.
The grounds were bad yesterday, the
weather warm and the "Wilkinsburg
team much better than the score would in
dicate. And it may" not be out of line to
say that the local team must be mnch bet
ter than the- have given indications, of be
ing if the' want to make a good argument
in the big contest.
I'itclif-r Gardiner's Efforts.
YouDg Mr. Gardiner pitched for the sub
urban youths and he at times displayed
qualities of being a good pitcher, but he
became tired now and again and lost con
trol ot the ball, and Smith could not handle
his delivery as it ought to have been
handled and that had a very depressing
efiect upon Gardiner. Of course there were
lots of run1! and base hits scored by the side
opposing Gardiner, but his catcher and
third baseman were responsible lor many of
them. The Wilkinsburg team are not a
bad amateur lot of players, but they need
mnch stcadj ing and a more perfect battery.
The home team, to use the phrase, had an
easy task, because of the lack of team work
of their opponents, and now and again they
hit Gardiner when hits counted considera
bly. Xo long hits were madeofI Gardiner's
pitching, but "little" hits were made at
nill. Mack caught and tlnew to baces ex
cellently and o did Miller. Ehret was in
much better form than he was last Friday,
and Calvin wasjust as he always is. Of the
nine hit made by the Wilkinsburgs, Ave
acre made off Jimmy, including the only
ttio-bn-rtrerot the game. In tlio cichtli in
mnf Kerkley. when running to second, was
'sp:ked":i'cidentlj-by Slmmacher and re
tired. Corkhill going io first and Camp to
left field. Camp had nothing to do.
TUej- Stopped the Game
The same -nas called at the end or the
eichth because everybody was well satisfied
ot the work that had been done.
The visitors made their flrst run in the
second inninjr on a single by Johnson, a sac-
lificeDy ivearns, a wild pitch and a single
by Becker. In the ctshtli inning, Becker
got his base on balls and scored on Gardi
ner, double to right field. Gardiner scored
on Shuuiachcr's Mnglo to rizht. The 'attor
played an excellent game and hit extremely
well.
The home players can be in ranch better
form than they are. Some of them are aw
lullvbiirand they ought to make it their
business to set down to the weight that
they know is their best playing weight.
They know Mhat is better tliau anybody
can tell them. The score:

Connie Slack Signs.
Connie Mack, the catcher, .signed with the
local club yesterday, as predicted in yester
day's DiSFATtii. His salary is stated to be
SiTCsj. He looked at things philosophically
and lound that ho could not make abetter
or it. Connie is evidently in good form and
it is satisfactory to know that his difficulty
with the club has been tided ovor.
PfcfTer for Louisville.
Louisville, April 4. A deal between the
Louisville and Chicago ball magnates lias
been made, and Pfeffor will wear a Louis
ville uniform in the opening game of the
season. It is in the nature of a trade, Cana
van and a lionuo beinz aiven for Pfcffer. J
The amount of the bonus Is said to be $2,000,
but this is not positively known. Canavan
lins not yet sipned the Chicago contract, but
this will probably be done to-night. All the
other details have been effected.
WEEDING THEM OUT.
Whitney and Brlcss Released and Denny Is
Cast to One Side.
The "weeding out" has commenced in the
local ball olnb and Whitney and Brings were
released yesterday. More than that, the
cluo waived claim on the services ol Jerry
Denny, and It was also rumored that "Pop"
Corkhill is to go next.
Doubtless the club's action regarding
Denny and its reported Intention concern
ing Corkhill will surprise local cranks.
Those who have money invested in the clnb
are the people most vitally Interested In it,
and certainly they think that It is for the
best Interests of the clnb to let go of Denny
and cling to those whom none of us know
much about. Most assuredly Jorry Denny,
according to the reports of the most reliable
and the most intelligent authorities on base
ball playing, state he is playing as good as
lie ever did, and that means he has not a
superior in the country to-day. There is
not a ball crahk in the lan'd who will
offer to say a word against Denny's abili
ties when he is in lorra, as we are informed
he Is now. The kindergarten talk about his
belug a "uisorganizer" is all nonsense. No
man can be a dlsoranizer under good and
watchful management. It is. to be hoped
that the need of a player like Denny will
never be telt here this season. The manage
ment have thought the matter well overand
think thev- have first-class menleft.
And nbont Corkhill. The work of that
player in the past, and particularly last
mil, should warrant for him a substantial
trial. Depend npon it, we may need an out
fielder like Corkhill before we travel far on
thejourney, and when it comes down to
hitting, time will tell how many big hitters
wo havo left It is a noteworthy fact that so
far some of the players from whom wo ex
pect most have not enthused their most en
thusiastic admliers up to this time. But it
is only lair to state that .President Temple
and his colleagues are using their best J udg
meat in trying to get a winning team.
To-Day Local Game.
The local League team to-day will tackle
the Tarentum County League team, weather
permitting. Following is the Tarentum
team: Willis, 2; Bicgert, m; Glllen, 3: Clark,
1; Kennedy, it M'Kim, 1; Thompson, s;
Stewart, c; Hemphill, p, Stenck, snb. Bald
win and Camp, and Earlo and Miller will be
the batteries for the home club.
TBOUBLE FOB THE BIO CLUB.
Charges of Shaving Parses and Even Worse
Against the Metropolitan.
New Tore, April 4. A letter from a well
known sporting man In New Orleans, re
ceived to-day by a friend in this city, says:
"The Metropolitan Club is in a predica -incut.
Jack Burke says he did not receive
his $590, the loser's end of the fight with
Needham, and Necdbam had to be content
with $1,500 Instead of the fnll purse. Tho
re.eree has not got his $100, and there is
some tall kicking. Another cause for growl
ing is the action of the club in the matter of
rouindinc monev for the Xeedham-Byan
match. It pnt off the business for two days,
and the belief is quite prevalent here that it
did so in the hope that a good many would
have to leave the city before that time came
around. It is doubtful If the club can stand
the reports now going around and live."
LITTLE WASHINGTON'S TEAHL
A Good Amateur Aggregation Formed to
Play Daring the Season.
Wasbikqtojt, Pa., April 4. Special. Cap
tain Mevay, of Wash.-JefT. College base

provement will be made within the next

Manager Logan has not vet mnde dates
with all the colleges ot Western Pennsyl
vania, but so far two games have been ar
ranged with western University, Geneva,
Westminster and Eiskiminitis School.
BEADY TO BACK SMITH.
Pittsburgers Have Money to Mntch Him
Against the Alleged Champions.
Ed Smith and John Quinn returned from
Philadelphia yesterday. Smith had an easy
task in defeating Mike Monaban Saturday
and declined to knock him. ont because of
the requests of the police.
Smith made such an excellent impression
in Philadelphia that the following state
ment is made by John Quinn in bebalf of
Smith: "We offered to match Smith against
Maher for any kind of a reasonable purse
and a side bet of $2,501 a side. Tlie re were
plenty of Philadelphia sporting men ready
to put np money for Smith. Billy Madden
only stated that he would think the matter
over. I don't think Madden will allow
Maher to go against Smith, and we havo,
therefore, matched Smith to stop Billy
Needham, of Philadelphia, in four rounds,
the winner to take all.
"We also talked or putting Smith'against
Choynski for four rounds, but the latter
wants 70 per cent of the leceipte, will allow
the ptopiietor, Jack Fogarty, the femialuing
CO ner cent, Fogarty to pav Smith, lose or
win. This is outrageous. We are ready to
back Smith against Choynski for any rea-
sonauie purse ana any reasonaoie outsiae
bet, the winner to take all. That is lair.
Jack Fogarty has seen them all and he is
ready at any moment to put up money for
Smith to light either Hnll or Fitzsimihons.
Smith will light Hall at 165 pounds and Fitz
at 153. To make a long story short, Ed
Smith will fight any man in the world at
the weights mentioned, and if anybody
thinks he won't let him put up $1,000 in The
DisrATCit office and it will be covered within
12 hours."
Speakins on general matters Quinn said:
"Jack Fogarty said that, as lar us Mitchell
and Fitzsimmons were concerned, Mitchell
could beat Fitzsimmons in less than ten
rounds. Fogarty has seen them both fight."
SULLIVAN BIGGER THAU" A BISHOP.
A Boston Sunday School Teacher Paralyzed
by Her Scholars.
Boston, April . SpeciaL A local Sun
day school was demoralized to-day by hear
ing John L. Sullivan's name shrieked out by
the lusty little fellows. The teacher h:?d
asked them which wero tho greater man,
John L. Sullivan or Phillips Brooks. "John
L. Sullivan!" was the unanimous chorus of
eight boyish voices, beard all over tho
school room.
"Why, surely, boys," she said, "you don't
want mo to think that you put John L. Sulli
van above Phillips Brooks? I'm sure your
mothers and lathers don't. What reason
can you give for saying such a strange
thing:"
"Ain't diamonds worth a pile of
moncj V said one of the young bopetuls.
"Yes."
"Well, yon never catched tho Mayor of
Boton giving Phillips Brooks n diamond
belt nornuthin', and he did to Sullivan, lu
the Boston theater, so now."
It was conclusive. The teacher, bewild
ered by such logical reasoning, was silent,
and the remainder of the .session was de
voted to the text of the hour, with no lur
ther wandeiings into argumentative ways.
WILL FIGHr DIXON.
A Definite Challenge in Behalf of John,
ston, tho English Featherweight.
New Yor.K, April 4. Special Tho follow,
ing special cable was received at tho .Poice
Gazette office to-day from George W. Atkin
son: "London, April 4. Fied Johnston, the
featherweight champion of England, will
fight George Dixon at eight stone five
pounds In the Bolinbroke Club for X 1,000 and
a parse of 300. Should Dixon not accept
these terms. Johnston will fight Cnl Mc
carty, of New York, upon the same condi
tions. "General opinion here is that the Sullivan
and Corbett match will not take place.
Slavin will return to America after his bat
tle witii JackMin, and a well-known book
maker will accompany him and find stakes'
for him to flsbt the winner of the Sullivan
and Corbett fight. No match bus been rati--fied
between-Billy McCarthy and Denny
Kclleber, the American, although the hit
ter's backer has made strenuous efforts to
match Kelleher."
For Amateur Boxers.
The Iron City Athletic club, 920 Firth ave
nue, will give a handsome gold medal for
the best amateur boxer in Allegheny county.
The contest is to take place on tho evening
of the lit!) inst. Entries can be m.ido tip to
the 13tn nt tlie club bctwi-un 7:ind So'ciock
r. n. Thocontp-tanl8 will ho limited to HO
pounds, and three rounds Queensberry rules
with big gloves will be contested. No slug
ging will be allowed.
THE CHARGES SATISFACTORY.
Wheelmen In the East Think Well of the
1 A. W. Mew Bales.
New York, April. Special The changes
made in the racing rules of the League of
American Wheelmen at the meeting of the
Baoing Board on Saturday and Sunday give
general satisfaction. It was expected that
some action would possibly be taken to have
the - law recognize road racing, but as the
board made no provision for its recognition
among their rnles, it is presumed that they
refused to claim jurisdiction oyer this de
partment, on account of road contests be
ing unlawful.
The matter of limiting handicaps in laces
was not.toncbed upon as it was expected. It
will remain optional with the managers of
race meets to place any limit they seo fit
upon their races.
Bacing men commend the adoption of a
rule making it compulsory for tournament
managers to apply to the Bacing Board for
dates. The creation of the ruin making it
necessary for wheelmen to officiate at all
bicycle races will necessitate the retention
of a bicyclist to have full charge of the
bicycle contests at athletic games. Accord
ing to the new rule, bis decision npon such
races shall be final. The racing rules are
now broader than heretofore, wheelmen
comrjetimr at tournaments not sanctioned
by the Racing Board will be disqualified.
It is likely that in sections where, the rac
ing interests aro very active two official
nanuicappers win De appointed, unclng
men thought that the League would create
S3 and SO mile championship races, such as
are held by the National Cyclists' Union of
England, but the meager Interests displayed
in long-distance contests in this country lor
bid of their adoption of such events. No
handlcappers havo been officially appointed
as yet, but thoy will bo chosen in the course
of a few weeks.
LINDENS GET THE CUP.
Their Bowling Team Captnro the Prixe
After a Long Contest.
After a remarkable contest tho bowling
team of the linden Club won the Hostetters
Cup. The conditions of the contest were
such that a team bad to win three times in
snccesslon to secure the trophy and this has
caused the tournament to last several
months. The Linden team from the first

been very hard pressed by the
Bellefield team. Last evening's contest was
only won by six pins so that it was a hot ar
gument right to the finish. The Eat End

fiery horse that can be handed over to him.
His pcriormance is a remarkable one.
