I SOME TREMENDOUS THUMPING. ilouisrille Still Maintains the lead by Good Playing. 1 TWO: LOCAL GAMES TDK AFTERXOOX t 1 Pittsburg baseball cranks always take unbonnded delicbt in defeating Von der Abe. "Der Poss" Las been so much interested and con nected with the game in Pittsburg one way and an other, and has been so determined to down the inno cent peojle of this city, that defeat to him is always cheering to Pitts burgers. He and his troop, known as the Browns, were really made the ob jects of pity yes terday at Exposi tion Park, and the opening champion ship game of the season of 1S92 in this city wiU certainly long be remembered. Vondy's men were not only routed, but, juetaphorically speaking, were butchered. It was simply genuine slugging of the ball that did the trick, and doubtless Von der Ahe, Glasscock & Co., will yet be wonder ing what struck them. If ever a ball team from St Louis or any ether city or hamlet got a thumping and iell among desperadoes the Browns did yes terday, and they were Terv game people in deed to be in existence at all last sunset. That young "phenom" with the1 left hand, named Breitenstein, may be working in convulsions yet. When onr sluggers feel in ibe mood they can soon knock all the glory away from "phenoms." They felt in this mood yesterday, and poor Mr. Breitenstein "nas made aware of the fact. A Very Sudden Chance. At 1:30 r. at he left the Seventh Avenue Hotel with all the prestige and glory that a phenom can have. Before 4 o'clock his iame was just as attractive as the muddy grounds, and ha'dly that. He didn't last En inning in front of the home sluggers, and liad he remained in the box it is likely that the game would never have been finished. But although the game wa3 awfully one sidid, it was delightful for the local cranks. The weather was wretched and the grounds o bad that the game had to be called at the end cf the seventh inning. There were abont 3,000 people present, and that was a very large crowd considering the rainy weather. 'Just as soon as the home players appeared 'en the grounds the enthusiasm of the 3,000 was manifested, and before the first inning had finished almost everybody had yelled 3iimsclf hoarse. Tin horns ana husky voices inade an awful noise in the rain, but every fcodv was happy except Von der Alio and 'Zireitenstein poor, deluded young man. Those who have been thinking that Pitts burg has not a good ball team ought to jknow different now. "Whatever the team may do in the future, they fully demon strated yesterday that they are "about as pood as anybody's team. There never was better fieldinc. even on drv "rounds, than llhat of the hone players yesterday. , Smith's lirilllant Catch. Elmer Smith ran in the mud and made one of the most brilliant catches of a ball irom Brodie's bat ever seen in this city. '"Miller and Swartirood ako did wonderful 'work. And the infield! "Why, a better in field cannot be Dad not cien if one were made to order. Farrell proved himself a great man, and that hardly covers it. He is a brilliant player and as a sticker is one of these reliable men who can be depended on. And old Jceme, that good, that glorious tnirler of many generations, was there, just as brimtul of rigor, deception and jovialitv as he was many years ago, when lots of the present old people were voung. Jimmy is (notareed thai can lie sliaken by the wind even though it blows a hurricane, and when lie was presented with a gold-beaded cano and a floral horseshoe yesterday by the Fifth Ward Allcghen Independent rishlr" Club lie i esponded by binding out one or his lamous hits, i'henoms mar come and phe noms may go, but the .cntleJeems goes on forever. Almost the whole game, as far as Tun and rnjoynieiit-Rcre concerned, was In tho first Inning and no less, than 12 runs. 10 of tliem earned, were made by tho Iocs! sluggers. Poor Breitenstein. Kow inerril v he stepped -Into the box, and how disgusted and crest Jallen he walked o.it a lew minutes later. Miller Began tho Tan. . Miller was the first to faceh.im.and rapped outasinglo to right field. Bierbauer fol lowed with a doable far into cen ter, and Swartwood followed with a sin gle. Farrcil came next with a forking two bagger to lert,aiul Beekley banned out a sin Bis to nsht. This was jolly. Then came , bhuzart with a single to right, and Breiten Ktein was so wpary that he gave Smith his base on ball: Slack made a sacrifice hit, and then Galvln got his present and thumped out a single to light field. This brought Miller to bat the second time and he singled and so did Bierbauer. Swartwood got his base on balK Then Mr. Breitenstein re Tired. Farrell rot his basa on balls, and Becklev made a double and Shusart went out at first. Smith cot his base on balls, nnd Mack ended that terrlblo half by knocklnc up a little fly to Werden. Well, all this cannonading sot in tho 12 runs. In tho fourth inning two more runs were scored on singles by Shugart, Smith, Mack nnd Galvlc In tlie fifth inning the visitors made two runs on singles by Pinckney, Glasscock and Caruthers and an excusable fumble bv Shu cart. Their third run was made while the home players w ero effecting A Neat Triple Play. Strieker led off tho inning -with a single. Crooks got his base on balls, and Carroll made a single, filling the bases. Werden Bent out allttle fly to Eierbauer, who trapped It and threw Carroll out at second. Shugart and Beekley put out Werden. Strieker ran 'home, and as Crooks had not run to third he, ,too, was put out by Beekley, Shugart and 'Farrell. The game was then called on ac count of wet grounds. Probably one of the most entertaining .features of tho game was the presence of Harry Stevens, tho score card champion, on 'the grounds. Harry has no equal and tho manner in which he tends to the convenience ,of the patrons of tho same In the way of supplying score cards has not been equaled here. What a hustling and amusing lellow lie is, and ho keeps pointing out tho ieatures and changes ot the game from start to finish. His score caidsare the best thero have been in Pittsburg and contain the pictures of baseball celebrities.

Altooxa, April 21 Special' Just when the State League was thought to be a thing or the past, it has received a fresh supply or animation, and everything now points to its formal union and continuance for the season. Manager James Farrington, who has had chargeof many.clubsin this section of the State, has taken the project in hand, and after making a tour of the six cities wanting to enter, reports everything in a favorable condition. Lebanon, HatTlsburg and Bead ing are particularly infused with the base ball fever, and lesidents there are hailing the innovation with Joy. All these places have excellent grounds, nnd nlready in the two latter places they are being put in condition. The grounds in Har risbnrg can be rolled in a few horns, needing no other repairs. Williamsport lias always been a gooa town for tho national game, and the local backers thero have plenty of money to further the scheme. York is also ready to go ahead. Mr. L C Misbler, of this city, savs managers and backers from the six cities will meet on Monday nnd take final action. He said: "I have been on tho look out lor players, and If the rest are as sincere we will have a club in ten days. Tho base ball enthusiasts are much pleased with the prospects for a club, and will certainly give good patronage." One for the Eclipse. East Liverpool, April 22. Speetat The ball season opened here to-day with the Alliance team. There was a drizzling rain, and 1,200 peoplo were piescnt. The visitors E resented a carefully selected team of Pitts urg.

Braddock, April 22 Civil Engineer Hough yesterday laid out the new grounds for the Homestead Baseball Club. The new grounds -will be among the finest in the League. They will not be Inclosed, as a permanent place could not be secured. Made a Keir Schedule. Chicago, April 22. The Secretary of the Illinois-Iowa baseball team has completed the new schedule.

The new schedule as ar ranged provides for the opening games to bs played on April 28 at Joltet, Peoria, Evans vlllo and Jacksonville, the contesting clubs being Uockford, Bock Island. Terre Haute and Qnincy respectively. The season will close October 10. A LIVELY MEETING. The County League Members Sleet and Discuss the Climax Claims. There was quite a lively meeting of the County League last evening, and it maybe accepted as a fact that things are not going smoothly along with the League. Mat Thompson, or the Climax team, demands a revision of the schedule, and the majority of the League are opposed to any change. They so decided last evening, and the Cli max lot threaten to withdraw. Manager Thompson alno claimed at the meeting that two of his players had been taken from him by other County League clubs. It was agreed to allow him to have the players if he will play on his team. It is generally thought that the schedule is not a good one and Is unfair to the Climax team. Another meeting will be hell next week to try and fix matters up. Another Local Ball Team. Another amateur baseball team has been organized in Allegheny and they will be known as tho Brownlees. The players are: Stlnkel, catcher: Ernest, pitcher; Dobson, shortstop; Hutchinson, first base; Seifcrt, second base; Brown, third base: Cahoonleft field; Montgomery, center field; Smith, right field. They want to plav any of the ama teur teams In Western Pennsylvania, the Jeannettes. TJniontowns or Johnstowns pre ferred. Address J. -J. Brownlee, 283 Beaver avenue, Allegheny City. The Diamond. Axd look out for Louisville. Jocko Fields leads the Giants ln'battlnff. Shixdle Is evidently not In his old-tune form. On, what a drubbing; that was for the Browns. The Comlskey-Von der who war Is very torrid. Bill Brown may be signed to catch Tim Keefe. Wet weather is certainly injuring the local club financially. If we can only make It three straight won't It be Interesting; SnocK is doing good work at third for Baltimore and batting well. W. C. Wilsox Is doing well as umpire In the Southern League. The magnates over the country are anxiously scanning the skies. Old Galvin was loudly cheered Testerday after noou at Exposition Park. Baik prevented the League games at Sew York and at Boston yesterday. T. Oistek Bunss. of Brooklyn, has already been fined $60 for kicking. Sid Faruab has left for Providence to captain the team and play first base. It will keep the League clubs rustling to catch up with all of their postponed games. Elmer Smith was presented with a handsome bouquet yesterday when he went to bat. Colonel Jonv I. Sogers has suffered a relapse. Early baseball has not agreed with hbxu Tiie players of the local ard the St. Louis clubs were guests at the Opera House last evening. It is worth going to Exposition Park for an hour or two If only to see aad hear Harry Stevens. Eves Jack Chapman was suprised at Pitcher Jones' nne worK in nis game against inisuurg. Bometbtxq alls Bettger. Cleveland's nltcner. and he will not be In condition to play for some time. Mike Kelly declares that Boston ought to win the pennant, but that he fears Brooklyn and Cleveland. Bucklet will do the receiving for the Browns nntil he Is Injured or his hands give out. He Is a valuable man. Glasscock actually wanted Umpire EmsUe to callihe game during fhelourth Inning yesterday on accouut of darkness. Clues who have any more left handed phenoms may be inclined to keep them away lrom Plttsourg alter yesterday's example. The Manslicld County League team and the Kcvstones will play at Mansfield to-day. The con test promises to be a good one. Tom Beowx writes: "We had the keys to the citv the night of our opening game. Each player had a live-bone hat given him." Mike bLATTEBT. once a league star, has ac cepted becretary White's terms and will play In the Blngbamton In the Eastern League. Haeby Stovey's absence from the Boston field wa caused bv a wrench. He nnrt his side, and Bob-O'-I.lnk Lowe has been playing In left. TnEY call him Alexander Marvelous Jones In Louis ille now. The little Pennsylvanlan bad a tough day In which to make his debut, but he's a hero now. f Catcher Cccrcie Murphy, released bv Chi cago, has been assigned to the Albany. X. Y.. club of the Eastern League. He left for Albany y csterday. Louisville and St. Louis have turned out bigger crowds this ear than those which attended base ball In the Association's palmy days, despite the Increased tariff. Feed Ffeffer denies that hcre Is lack of harmonvln the Louisville team and thinks mat It the Chicago papers would look for trouble they could find It in their own team. TnLRs arc at least three first basemen In the big league who are trending on quicksand, and thevdo not know it- Perry Werden may be succeeded by Long John Rellly. and the latter Is also wanted to take Lou Whistler's p!ai.e at Baltimore. Ibwix's contract with Washington Is for two years. The Philadelphia Pmt says of Irwin: The Wagners and the Washington club are to lie congratulated ou the step, as thereby they gain the heartiest and most experienced general In the baseball profession. Such a man at the head of a team ot strong players like the Washlugtons ought to make It give a creditable account of Itself." Fob a new player. Pitcher Bowers, of Yale Col lege, Is a wonder, says the 2Jew York 2degram. He has faced the Boston League club, and kept the hits of that strong aggregation down to single figures and prevented them from being bunencd. He has terrific speed, and can vary his delivery at will. In the bos ho Is as cool as Ice, and is not rattled by the forging ahead of his oppo nents. A EEC0KD.BE0KEN.

Important Meeting of the County League Held Last Evening. UNIVERSITY ATHLETES NOW TRAINING The Pittsburg Tennis Club has secured its Bellefield grounds at a cost of $17,000. The deal was made yesterday, by which mem bers of the club come into possession of an excellent piece of property for their pur poses. A land company was recently formed and ten shares of stock taken at f500 a share to secure the grounds. That com pany will be incorporated, as will also the Tennis Club. Now that the grounds are held by mem bers of the clnb, there will no longer be any hesitancy about making improvements, and in less than two weeks, if the weather per mits, work will begin on a clubhouse, which will be both handsome and convenient. "With the club in its present position there will be no trouble to secure the funds to erect a snitable building. Heretofore all im provements of an extensive nature have been deterred by the fact that the club was liable to lose its grounds at any time, hold ing only a year's lease at a time. - Though the new and prosperous condition of the club will have a tendency to draw a large membership, it will be found neces sary to limit the list because there -will be a lack of accommodations. Just where the limit will be made is not yet known. If there are a large number of inactive mem bers the limit will not necessarily be so low as it otherwise would be. Two new courts will be added to the grounds, which will be the highest number possible to have. That will make a total of ten courts, which will, during the course of the day, accommodate quite a number of players. The Pittsburg Tennis Club courts are the finest in Western Pennsylvania, and will compare favorably with those of the Eastern colleges, which stand at the head in lawn tennis. The club will keep up its reputation by making everything in keep ing, and there will be nothing which is not strictly first-class. The plans for the clubhouse have not been settled upon; in fact they have hardly been discussed. There has, up to the pres ent time, been too much uncertainty about the' affairs of the club for the projectors to even think about plans lurther than the purchase of the grounds. Everything will be ready within a few days, however, and the new clubhouse will be ready for occu pancy before the season is very old. THE BETTIHG BEGINS. If o Truth in the Story About Corbett Send ing Some Money to New Orleans. New Yobx, April 2J SjjecfaJ. Betting on the fight between Sullivan and Corbett has alieady commenced. It was learned this evening that llattlo Corbett, the well-known bookmaker, bad a commission to bet $1,600 against $2,000 that Corbett wins. It has just come to light that the story about Jim Cor bett forwarding $2,500 to the Olympic Club of Xew Orleans as a deposit to lnsme his presence In tlio ring with John L. Sullivan is without foundation. A well-known sports man of this city said yesterday that the amount had not been sent at all, but that Phil Dwyer had pledged his word that he would guarantee Corbett's presence In the ring, and that Charley Johnston, Sullivan's DacKer, mrouga a prominent novunwua sportsman, bad done the same. The following cable from the editor of the London fiportonan was received to-day: "Johnson accepts offer to box Dixon. Will sail next week on transfer of expenses." riTISBTJBQ IN LIHE.

M gMEWlBK' 11 iai vA -tF&frilfv 1 mta PATENT MEDICINES OF NO AVAIL IN THE TREATMENT OF NEGLECTED CASES OF CHKONIO CATARRH. Skilled and Special Treatment Necessary, Adapted to Each Form and Variety or the Disease Many Cases or Catarrh Due to Deformed Noses and Deflected Sep ta ms. Patent medicines never did and never will cure catarrh. Why? Let us see. Lot us take np and analyze the catarrh prepara tions and ascertain from their component parts whettier there is any probability of a oure being effected in any number of cases. Secret Divulged. That is what we propose, to do to-day. These wonderful compounds shall be forced by the art or the analytical chemist to give np their lone-kept and oarefully guarded secrets that the publlo may know by what shameless methods and worthless rubbish they have been systematically humbuzzed. We take first one of the leading catarrh medlciaes: one of the oldest; one the most widely and voluminously advertised: one for which the most positive and confident claims are made. Here is the formula: Hydrastis canadensis : 1 or. Borax (powdered) 10 gr. Mix and color with ferro-cyanuretnm. Let us examine the constituents: Hydras tis la not considered of sufficient Importance to receive mention in Sidney Ringer's Hand-Book Of Therapeutics, a standard work on medic inal remedies. Barthelow, in his great work on Jlaterla Medlca and Therapeutics, devotes abont twopages to the drug, but is uuable to verify the claims made for it In catarrhal affections of nose, throat and mouth. If it has any value whatever in ca tarrhal troubles. It is only in a very few of the simplest forms. Borax or boracic acid is only an antiseptic to be used in ulcerations to prevetn decom position. Even for this purpose there is not enough in the above ionnula to be of any value whatever. Common salt is claimed by many of the foremost catarrhal specialists to do more harm than cood In this trouble. Every ca tarrhal subject, however, is familiar with th cleansing properties of salt, bnt this is all that can be said of it. Common salt is not curative, simply cleanslnz, ntid there is not enough salt in this combination to cleanse anything. Cyanide of iron is a poison. Now take all these ingredients, singly or combined, and We Assert Positively, Without fear of contradiction, that they are not, and cannot posubly be, of any value whatever in the treatment of those cases characterized by polypl,or by hypertrophies, which constitute more that nine-tenths of the cases of catarrh, or those caused by de flected septums, or broken noses, or other deformity. We do not believe'tliis combina tion could, under any circumstances, cure a single case of chronic catarrh. Here is another combination widely adver tised as a catarrh cure: Thymal 3 gr. Carbonate of bismuth 15 ut. Oil wintergreen 2 minims. Without going into the individual Ingredi ents of this mixture, we can say of it as of the first, that at the best it can only give temporary relief in the simplest form ot catarrh. It has no curative properties is simply palliative. Here is another, largely and boastlngly advertised as a sure cure for catarrh: Gentian root (powd.) lVoz. Bitter orange peel (powd.) o dr. Cardamon seeds (powd.) 100 gr. Iodide of potash loz. Dilute alcohol q. s. This combination has No Curative Effects Whatever in nasal catarrh. It may have some beneficial effect in simple dyspepsia, but the claims of superiority as a catarrh cure are absurd. Following is another, to advertise which manv thousands of dollars have been naid. and the dupes who have bought it with the vain hope of being cured are also numbered by the tens of thousands: Belladonna leaves (powdered) lpart Nitrate potah (powdered) lOparts The only effect cf the belladonna Is to de crease the quantity of secretion of mucus. It has no effect whatever on the cause of the secretion. Nitrate of potash is very Irritating where the skin is broken, and, as there are often small ulcers In the nose, the action of this druz in these cases would be extremely bad. It is only necessary to add in regard to these drugs that they are both Dangerous Poisons. These are fair samples and true analyses of the foremost medicines advertised to enro catarrh. It does not require the knowledge or skill of a specialist to say that they are no frood. Catarrh can be cured. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have abundantly proved this. The voluntary statements of nundreds of grateful patients prove It. But tho ex perience of these same hundreds or grateful patients who have been cured by Drs. Cope land, Hall nnd Byers Is also conclusive to the point that patent medicines will not and cannot cure catarrh, and also that It is only the skilled specialist who sees and under stands every form and phase of the disease, and knows exactly what to do at every point that has any chance of success in this trouble. This is tho secret of the success of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. They under stand their business and therefore cure catarrh. CATARRH OF THE HEAD, THROAT AND STOMACH. The Case of a Well-Known Steel Worker of Jones LanshUns' Largo Establishment. A typical case illustrative of catarrh is added this week in the statement of Mr. Conrad L. Sanders, No. 2716 Shelly street, Southslde. Mr. Sanders is employed at the large establishment of Jones & Laughlins and makes the followingstatement: "It has been for eight years that I have suffered from catarrh, but recently it jrrew so serious that I felt I could not endure It longer. "My trouble bezan with a cold in the head, but I did not mind it at first. Mv nose be came clogged up so that I had to breathe Conrad L. Sanders, S71S Shelly Street, S. S. throuirh my mouth. The mucus would ac cumulate in my head and throat and keep me blowins my nostrils and raising and gagging all the time. "The secretions would drop back into my throat from behind my palate. "I suffered terribly from headaches. At times I ti as entirely unfit lor work. No one who does not appreciate the ravages that this disease of catarrh can make on the sys tem, can nnaerstanu anything aoonc now thoroughly broken down nnd miserable L trai. Every morning I would have to cough and hawk and gag to remove the accumula tion of the night. My stomach became so badly affected that it could scarcely retain food. Tbere was nausea and distress after eatinjr. My bowel were constipated, my appetite fickle, and I was Indeed a sick man. "It was In this condition tbat I went to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. Under their treatment a chanze for the better sneedilv took place. I improved greatly. Mv bead is clear and I am like another man. I didn't know that medicine could work such a change in a person. I am more than pleased with the result. I bad doctored a irreat deal and never received any benefit whatever. '-I willingly make this statement publicly for the benefit or others who maybe simi larly afflicted. I believe Drs. Copeland. Ball and Byers use the only rational and scientific treatment for the cure of catarrh, and anyone giving them a trial will not be disappointed. I heartily remommend them." Drs.
