BIG CROWDS DISAPPOINTED Bob Emslie, of Old-Time Fame, Will Umpire To-Day's Game. BOSTONS BEAT THE BALTIHOKES. Cleveland Gets an Easy Contest From the Cincinnati Iieds. BASEBALL NEWS OF GREAT INTEREST There were more people from nearby towns disappointed yesterday because of "no ball game" than there have been in the history of baseball in Western Pennsyl vania. The city was crowded yesterday from morning until evening with strangers who came to see the first championship ball game of the season of 1S92. Rain spoiled everything. It stopped one of the finest baseball parades that has ever been arranged to take place in this city. There were crowds here from McKeesport, Wheeling, Uniontown, Beaver, Youngs- town, in short, from all the cities and towns within CO or 70 miles of Pittsburg. It is needless to say that Von der Ahe was a little out of humor, and that President Temple for a short time was a little sad. But all began to get into good temper again when it was arranged that the programme intended for yesterday should be carried out to-day. Both teams and representatives of the press, together with the officials of the local club, will meet at the Seventh Avenue Hotel at 1:30 this afternoon, and proceed in carriages to make the parade, as originally arranged. The grounds are in good condition. Gal vin will pitch, as stated in yesterday's Dis patch, and Mnck will catch. Emslie will be the umpire, and it is so long since he was here that he may be considered a stranger. The game will start at 3:45 P. Tit. As to the weather to-day. Secretary Scan drett left the following" stanza here last evening after he bad looked at a red cloud: Evening red and mornins gray. Sets the traveler on his way Evening jrray and morning red.

Slosson in Form. New York, April 2L George F. Slosson is doing fine work these days in preparation for the contest with Ives for the world's championship at Chicago. The local ama teur experts who gather nightly to see the practice games are unanimous in their judgment that he is playing the gamo of his Ufa. His averages range from SO to 150, the latter having been made in a 400-point game about a week ago. Slosson's practice games differ from those of other billiard experts in that they are played with all tho champion ship restrictions. Every shot is closely watched and the finest points of the rules rigidly enforced. If Slosson keeps up to his present form he hopes to bring the famous emblem to New York. The Cricket League.

AMATEUR ATHLETES To Have a Clubhouse and Improved Grounds at Sewickley in THE PfiESENT GOOD LOCATION.' Quarter-Mile Bicycle Track, Baseball and Tennis Included in THE PLANS FOE THE SEASON'S -SPORT The Sewickley Athletic Association will have a new clubhouse .this season, but the scheme first taken up has been abandoned. The Association's grounds are situated in s most beautiful place, and the new plan is to buy the present park and there build a neat clubhouse with all necessary arrangements for the accommodation of the members. The plan first worked on was for the purchase of grounds in a different part of the city, there to build a house at a cost of $35,000. This was to contain a gymnasium and the luxuries of a first class sooial club and a theater for the benefit of the Sewickley Amateur Theatrical Association. There are various reasons why this project was abandoned. The necessary funds were raised and so was the price of the grounds where the club was to have been located. The people interested would not pay the price. Then a number of suggestions as to the proper lo cations were made, which caused split and the abandonment of the plan. Frrject for the New Building. The people in the lower end of Sewickley refused to go into the scheme to buy the old grounds and there erect a suitable club house, so another way out ot the difficulty was found. A number of the wealthier men of the 'place have agreed to furnish the necessary money to build a house on the club's old grounds, which are eminently suited for the location of an athletic and pleasure park. The amount subscribed is about tio.wu, which will purchase the grounds and erect a very pretty and convenient building for club purposes. It will be after the model of fhe average strictly modern clubhouse, contain a first-class gymnasium, billiard hall, bowling alley, parlors, library, baths, etc It will be a social club, and all the best people of Sewickley will eventually become members, no matter if the location is a little out of the way. It is not to be a fentlemen's association, bnt the ladies will e gladly welcomed as members, and their wants will be catered to as much as the wants of the more athletic half of the place. A Chance for Outdoor Sports. In the park numerous improvements will be made. There will be a track lor the cyclers a quarter of a mile in length. The baseball grounds will be put in better shape, the tennis courts will be fixed up and per haps several more added. There will be facilities furnished for every sort of out door recreation, and, above all, there are a number of large trees on the ground under whose friendly shade hammocks may be swung for the hard-working young athletes to rest when not in action. The Sewickley Athletic Park is one of the most beautiful in the vicinity of Pitts burg. It has many natural advantages that would not have been found had a change been made in the location. It has splendid spring water, the ground dries very easily, and it requires a very hard rain to spoil the sport for more than a very few hours. With the proposed clubhouse and other improve ments the Sewickley Athletic Association will hare good reason to feel proud of its home. ME. DXNHY W01T. The PIrtsburter Wins the Great Shooting Match Against He Whorter. . There was an exciting shooting match yesterday in the East End between J. O'H. Denny and E. H. Me Whorter for $100 a side.

Story of FilUng Hat to the Brim by Sweeping- It Through the Air. Forest and Stream. I had just returned from an April turkey hunt in the swamps just above Vicksburg, Miss., and while a fair bag had been se cured, the chief feature of the trip had been the myriads of mosquitoes that har rassed us at all times, except when under a good bar. Anyone who has hunted in a Mississippi swamp during rather warm weather in spring, on land from mnch of which an overflow has recently receded, will understand what a pest they are. At such times it becomes necessary to wear a coat and gloves, and to protect the face, ears and neck by a piece ot bar or other wise, however, much such apparel may handicap the sportsman. In talking of the pests, I determined to do justice to the oc casion and to be bold In my remarks So one day I told G. H. D., who is no insig nificant talker himself, that the mosquitoes were so thick that one sweep of my hat through the air filled it to the brim. A twinkle in D.'s eye led me to suspect that he had not swallowed the tiunjv altogether. I went to my companion on this hunt, W. Ik W., not knowing that he had a develop ment of talent in this line, and told him that I had been telling a tolerably stout one about our turkey hunt,' and that I wanted him to substantiate my remarks. "P., I'll back up any remarks you may chance to make about the trip," was his prompt and spirited reply, sufficiently as suring me that he could be relied upon in an emergency of this kind. I then proceeded to tell him what I had told D. about sweeping a hat through the air and catching a hatful of mosquitoes. W. drew himself up and said, apparently without reflection or effort: "P., you could have done better than that," with a marked emphasis on the word "better." "You could have swept a quart cup through the air and caught a gallon.

KOTES FPvOM NEARBY TOWNS tsrzciAL telegram to Tnz DISPATCH.! Meyebsdale, Pa., April 21. At 5 o'clock this evening an accident occurred at Salisbury Junction, near here, that resulted in the injury of six persons, two being seri ously hurt These latter were sent to Pitts burg hospitals to-night. At 5 o'clock a train of emigrants on the first section of No. 89 stopped at Salisbury Junction, on the Baltimore and Ohio Bail road, to wait for another car. The train stood on the main line, and here some trouble occurred. It is believed the flag man did not go back far enough to flag the second section, whichcame crashing into the rear of the emigrant train. Engineer Daugherty saw the crash was inevitable, and did all in his power to avoid it, but in vain. The throttle of his engine was re versed so suddenly that he derailed the en gine, thus partly stopping the train and saving a far more severe accident. Attached to the rear of the first section were emigrant cars, and the engine of the following section plunged into these. Six of the passengers were injured, while the rest were badly shaken up. A little German girl had her back lnjutcd, while an unknown Hungarian had his foot amputated. In ad dition to this ho was badly hurt internally, and was at onco sent on to a Pittsburg hos pital. The others were not so badly hurt, and all but two of the injured were sent on to their destination. A German family in the rear of the emi grant train had a very narrow escape. They were altogether when the crash came, but all escaped injury except the little girl above mentioned, who was bruised nnd stunned. The family had left Baden, Ger many, April 8, and were on their way to friends at No. 677 Ohio street, Allegheny, where they went to-night, taking their1 in jured girl. The rear of the passenger coach was shattered badly, and 13 coal hoppers at tached to the second section were derailed. The track will bo obstructed until daylight.

He Flays One Class Against Another to Insure Safety to His Person. It is reported from Constantinople that the Sultan was thrown literally into a fit of terror when he learned that, two assassins had secreted themselves within his palace They had hid themselves behind draperies, and their presence was detected by a small lapdog. The Sultan did not, perhaps, run any real danger, for he never passed through the apartments where the men were found; but as to the murderous intention of these worthies there is no doubt, and the Sultan would not be appeased until all the nooks and corners ot his vast palace of Yildiz Kiosk had been explored. Next, all the men belonging to the Nubian and Albanian Guards who were on duty that dav were re placed by others, and put under arrest. They arc to be sent into Asia Minor. Por greater safety the Sultan is always protected by Nubians (blacks) and Albanians (whites), for the two regiments execrate each other, and in their divisions the Pa disha feels secure. The "BJack Guards" are his favorites says the correspondent of the Glasgow Her ald, for they are so exceeding fierce when they have auy cutting-down work-to do, and they are also less rapacious than the Alban ians, whose claws are always being ex tended for backsheesh. Taking them all round, however, the two corps,of Pretor ians, black and white, form a gang of un mitigated scoundrels. They are superb looking ruffians, magnificently dressed, overfed, overpaid, and enjoying practical impunity for every offense they may com mit, except that of "beiug negligent on duty. They are the terror of the whole quarter surrounding the palace; and the Suliaa. him self is so airaid of them that he is constantly trying to bribe them into loyalty bv gifts of money.
