GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI Tf rECIAL TTXEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 CiNCKfirATi, April 1& Captain Anson sprun? a new rule on the baseball populace this morning, which was either overlooked at the time of its passage, or was rushed through after the regular League confer ence. The old man kept his weather eye ' fixed on the rain-laden clouds, and when Manager Bancroft dropped in the Chicagoan remarked: "Well, it looks as if we would hare to crowd a couple of games in to-morrow." "I guess not," replied the Ked business manager. "Gues again," retorted Chicago's chief tain, and then he pulled out a brand new rule book and pointed to paragraph 45, which read: "Each club shall play 12 or more cham pionship games with every club, but a tie or draw game or a game prevented by rain shall be plaed oil ou the same grounds on succeeding day within the dates ot the same bchedule series between such clubs." "See that word Shall?' " asked the old man. "The rule has been interpreted by President Young just I put it to you. 'e were to hae played two cames at St. Louis Friday, but rain vetoed our proiramme." This discoiery of the rule came like a revelation to the baseball cranks who had passed criticism upon the lawmakers for the failure to provide against any more "Garri son finishes" such as Boston made last fall. The Chicagos play twice to-morrow and under this rule all the League cities are likely to enjoy more or less "double bills" this vear. Urooklj-D, 11; Phllndelpnia, 4. Philadelphia, April IS.

Bob Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, is in Chi cago, and on his arrival thero said to a re porter: "People have been saying that I was a coward, a quitter, and all that," began Fitz, "but I think tbey will find that they are mistaken. Hall has been blowing about my being afraid of him, that I didn't dare meet him, and that 1 knew ho couldn't fight as a. middle-weight, I let him gb as far as possi ble, and then signed articles to fight him at "catch weights.' "Just look at the cheek of the chap. He wanted to fight me lit Conev Island, at some club where the police would stop us. I said: We fight at New Orleans or San Francisco, where we can settle the matter.' Then he wants to fight for a purse of $12,000, when I was willing to meet hlra for $10,000. Why, blast him, he couldn't get $3,00J to meet any one but me. We granted him everything so that I could stand some show of meeting him in a 21-foot ring. I think that he will manage to wiggle out of it in Rome way; but if he will shake hands in u 24-loot ring, it will be seen that the quitter is Hall. "In St. Paul I offered to bet him $6,000 to $5,000, my own money, that if ho will meet me in a room, the best man to open the door, I would he the man. He declined. If Hall won't b.ick out and will meet me In a 24-foot ring, I think that it will take about bix rounds to do him. Hall is clever, I'll admit." STILL A TEETOTALER. Sullivan Talks About Being Extremely Sober, and Will Remain So. Cikciskati, April IS. Last night a heavy rain gave John L. Sullivan a light audienco at the theater.

When I begin training I will not take a drink. "I will begin training about June SO. I would like Bay St. Louis if I have my choice. However, my training quarters will be de cided upon by my backers. I will train in a quiet place, and out of convenient reach of the many people. . "I have not the slightest idea who will look after my training. It will not be Mul doon, for I will not train like I did for Kil raiu. I took long walks. This time I will not walk so much. The principal feature of my training w ill bo skipping the rope. I think it Is the very best kind of exercise for a pugilist. It is an exei else that keeps arms and legs going, and j our chest is brought into play as well.

FOUND THE MURDERER In an Italian Prison Doing Time for a Different Crime. CLEARING AN ELK COUNTY CRIME. Ttro Murders Committed a Tear Ago and A'o Clew Until Now. NEWS GATHERED FROU THEEE STATES CSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DI8PATCH.1 Bradford. Pa., April 18. Cablegrams and letters received by the Elk county au thorities from Naples, Italy, have cleared up the mystery surrounding two murders in that rounty over a year ago. Some time early in January, last year, the body of an unknown Italian was found in a lonely IrnnVier eamn near 'Falls Creek. Elk COUnty. The man had evidently been murdered, then a fire built, and an efiort maoe to nine the crime by burning the body. On Friday, the 23d of that month, the body of another Italian was found two miles below Eidgway irtan old cabin. Two bullet holes in the head showed that the man had been murdered, but the surround ings oflcred no clue. The man lay in an old deserted cabin and had evidently been dead -1 J- A AnnnBit altn in lllQ nnekpt showed his name to be Giose Cupalio, and that he nad siw 111 tne urocitwuy vme u.i". He was a railroad laborer, as was the first victim, but here the investigation ceased. The Murderer In an Italian Priion. The Elk county commissioners offered a reward lor the apprehension of themurderer of Cupalio, and many efforts were made to earn the'$300 offer, but without success. The two murders happening so closely together aroused suspicion that they had been com mitted hv tlie same man, and there was wild talk of Mafia doings, but nothing could be learned to substantiate this, and the matter dropped for a time. The second murder had about dropped out of public notice, and the sad fate of the un fortunate foreigner had been about forgot ten when there came from Naples the start ling information that Cupaho's murderer was an inmate of an Italian prison. The alleged murderer had for several years been a fugitive from justice in his native country prior to his departure for America. Alter coming here he worked on several railroads throughout Northern Pennsylvania and was known as Louigi Pioletti. He was a wicked, unscrupulous man, and his companions were afraid of him. He went to Italy im mediately after the murder of Cupalio and was there arrested on the old charge which was still pending against him. While in prison news of Cupalio's murder reached Italy, and Pioletti, who was known to have been a companion of Cupalio's, was interro gated concerning tlie matter. He admitted that he kuew something of the killing. Fiolrttl Knows All About It. He said that on the evening of January 22, 1891, he and Cupalio were in the shanty at the mouth of Mill creek in Elk county. They were wait:ng for a train, when they were suddenly attacked by an armed mob. He stated tha"t a desperate fight ensued, in which his companion was killed and Be escaped. His story was investigated ny the Italian officials, who at onoc communicated with the officials of Elk county. The story of the armed mob was fonnd to be fake. The facts or the case were looked up Piolettl's sudden departuie from this country after tho death or Cupalio. his inti macywith Cupalio and tho possession of money which could not have been acquired by his own effoi ts as a laborer dining his so journ in America, together with the contra dictory statements, all pointed conclu'ively to his guilt. It is thought possible that the Falls Creek murder cm also be traced to him. Steps are being taken to bring him back to Elk county in ordor that the murder or Cu palio may be avenged.
