THE PITTSBUII& DISPATCH. -TUESDAY. MAT ,10, 1892. T Our South Paw Twirler Shows Up Great Against tho Giants. tiE WINS A CLOSE CONTEST The Cleveland Team Defeat the Bos tons in an Exciting Game. MANAGER HANLON TO SIGN KELLY. Dallas, the Local Pacini: Dorse, to Be Ee tired for This Season. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAI Local baseball cranks were feeling quite happy and contented about sunset last even ing as a result of the local team's defeating what are called the Giants from Sew York. Their name still carries consider able terror with it, but in reality there is not as much of the plant about them as there used to be. Still, a very large number of Pitts burg patrons of the game were fully con vinced that the Giants would wallop onr sluggers, but in that they were mistaken. Nearly 4,000 people saw the game, and it was a tolerably interesting one. The ore was always close enough to keep everybody guessing, because there were numerous stages where a solid bit would have changed the complexion of things very considerably, indeed. But the contest was somewhat dull despite the close score, and for this the visitors and the umpire were probably to blame. Everything moved along as if nobodr cared to exert himself, and several times the crowd became im patient and yelled for a little more life. Won on Its Merits, The game was won by the home players on its merits and the contest clearly demon strated that the Giants, iroiu NewYork, of to-day are not the Giants who a season or two ago were the terror of the country. This is a fac', and just as clear to see as a summer's sun. Their work vesterdav was clean enough, but they lacked the dash of the iamous Giants. And there is another fact that is hard to conceal, and that is the condition of many of the New York play ers. The truth is very few of them are in good playing condition, and that fact, com bined with their lack of vigor and enthusi asm, may account lor their poor success so iar this seatnn. Ilusie pitched a verv good game but there were three innings that went very much nrA1if" It n T 4-lT IA -. i I f i0.iiuab nun. xi- nits ihi: uiu ui innings that caused his defeat He, too, gave evi dence of being considerably too big to plav lirst-class ball, as several times he was com pelled to stop for a breathing spell. He was blowing like a porpoise various times But he hit the ball hard and that redeemed his wildncss on a very important occasion. The fielders behind him played their part tolerably fair, but not brilliantlv, with the exception of a stop "by little Fuller. Al together there is room for considerable im provement in Pat Powers' team and when they get into better condition they will cer tainly give a good account ot themselves. Elmer Pitched Very Well. Elmer Smith tried bis hand at pitching for the home team and really pitched a very good game. He had a capital com mand ot the ball and the lelt hand batters were at his mercy. He also showed good speed and judgment. The fielding was good as usual, but if "old opportune" bat ting had been present there would have been considerably more runs scored. Sev eral times there were excellent chances tor the home team to make a hit and bring in some runs. But this little shortcoming was to be found on both sides. The third inning was reached before run getting was commenced and it was then that Amos Kusie played a part that event- I naiiy meani ucicat to mm and ins travel ing companions. Charley Farrell led oil the inning and got his"bae on balls, and so did .lake Beckley. This made the local cranks shakehauils with themselvesand yell like Indians. Elmer Smith followed and whacked out as nice a single as ever was seen. The ball went into "Mike Tiernan's terri tory and F.tirell scored, Beckley landing on third. Corkliill got the "sacrifice" bat and succeeded in sacrificing Beckley borne. JIack went out at first and Raymond got his base on balls and matters looked very blue for Kusie. But Miller knocked out a fly which Gore caught and that ended the first half which looked so very, very bad at the orcning. Thr Giants in the trad. Then the Giants took their turn and thumped out a run by clean and hard hit ting, llusie was first and in a wav of retenge for his mistakes he cracked the bail plumb on the nose and it went rattlingdown the right ioul line ior three bases. Fuller knocked a lly out to Corkliill, which was caught, and here Mr. Rusie made a very grae mistake. Had he tried to score on the throw-in he certainly would have si:cceed-d, but he btuck to third base and wa clearly thrown out when he did trv to score on Gore's infield hit Buck Ening, however, improved matters by banging the ball to right field ior three bases, and Gore scored. In the scco: d half of the fourth inning the tisitors took the lead Lawver O'Rourke started out with a single but was admirably nabbed when trying to pilfer sec ond. Richardson got his base on balls and then Raymond Jumbled a hot one knocked out by Lyons. Boyle's sacrifice sent Rich ardson to third and Lyons to second, and a corking single by Rusie scored both men. Fuller made a single, but Gore struck out at a very important stage. The home players tied the score in the sixth. Beckley made a single and got to second on a passed ball. Another single hit by Smith scored the runs. In the ninth inningthere was much excitement Mack led oil by making a nice single to right and got to second on a tumble by Tiernan. Ray mond struck out and Mack got to third on a passed ball. Miller rapped out a good single to left and Mack scored what proved to be the winning run. Macullar umpired instead of Hunt, the latter being ordered to Louisville. Macul lar umpired fairly well. Both sides object ed now and then, but he was pretty even. The score: SMITH FOOLED HM A, 1 SJA riTTSBURG. It B T A B NEW TOBK K E 1" A K ( .

Tf Hod, or This Ctty. W. C. Wilson, of this city, who went to act as umpire in the Southern League some time ago, returned home yesterday thor oughly disgusted with Southern baseball patrons. lie has had a rough time of it, and during a conversation yesterday, said: "Nobody has any idea of the kind of peo ple who patronize halt games in places liko Birmingham, Atlanta and Chattanooga. There is always any amount of gambling coing on, and when a decision eoe azalnst the tough element of the gamblers all they think about is mobbing. They no all by mobs don n there. If a man decides in favor of tho home team every time he is all right. I was told to do that, but I absolutely le lused. In some cities tho umpire is not allowed to tell the police to do anything, and the police, of course, favor the gam blers. Altogether the Southern League has elements in it that aro a disgrace to base ball, and I was glad to tender my resigna tion." A CHALLENGE TO ALLIANCE, Tb East Liverpool Ball Team Wants to riay for a Stake. The following challenge fully explains itself and is undoubtedly made in a business way and in the best of good faith: "We. the Eclipso Baseball Club, or East Liverpool, O., hereby challenge the Alliance, O., Baseball Club to play a game of ball on a date to bo mutually agreed upon for J100 a side and the entire gate receipts.

Dallas, the Facer, Has Been Retired Beady at Bomsirood, Dallas, the famous pacer owned bv McCor mick, the Pittsburg horse man, will not ap rjear In public this season.

At the closo of last season Dallas threatened tho pacing record, but his feot have been under treatment all winter with no noticeable effect The horse is now at Homcwood Park. An attempt to jog him yesterday developed his trouble, and his owner ordered htm to be turned oot fora year in the hopes that the corns will trov out. The original plan was to start Dallas at the Hoinewood meetings this spiing. Tho arrangements for tho spring meeting at Homewood have been completed in detail. The clubhouse and grand stands have boen refitted, remodeled and improved, stables have been rernrnished, and the place is now more attractive than it has ever been.

The English 110-Ponnder Too Much for the Harlem Chap. Xlw York, May 9. There was a fairly good crowd of sporting men assembled at the atena of the Coney Ishind Athlctio Club to-night to witness the international prize tight between Tom Kelly, of Harlem, champion 110-pound man of America, and Billy Plimmer, tho cham pion of that weight in England. The prices of ticKets were $5 nnd $10. At 9 r. m. the men entered the ring. Both looked to be in the best of condition. Plimmer was seconded by Charley Norton nnd Benny Murphy, while Kolly wns looked after bv Jaek'Quinn and Jimmy Carroll, Brooklyn's clever middle-weight Air Smith acted as referee and Bob Stall held the official time. Fred Burns acted as master of ceremonies. Four-ounce gloves were used. T.ie men Jaced each other at 9:H and span ed for an opening. Plimmer led first for the libs. Kelly tried to force the fight ins, but he found ho had his match before him, as Plimmer was cool, and long before tho close of the first round ho forced Kelly to cling to his neck for safety. Plimmer punched straightand hard and had Kelly pretty much at sea. Second round Plimmer forced the fighting and made Kellv look sharp ror his laurels. It did him good, as it made him more cautious and realize lully thathe had a man to confront with whom he could take no liberties. Third round Ke'ly tried to do the walk around act but Plimmer rollowed him up and gave him many stiff punches. Kelly was cool and, while he acted on the defensive and kept out of the way, he got in many telling blows. w Fourth round Kelly kept up the run-around tac tics, and forced Plimmer to come at him. Kelly proved hlmseiragood two-handed fighter, and he managed to close In and get there with both hands evervtlmo that Plimmer led. Fifth round Plimmer landed a straight left, which maae the blood fiow freely from Kelly's mouth. Both men fought like tigers to the end of the round, but Kellv was covered with blood, while there was scarcely a mark on Plimmer, who did some excellent ducking and good, clean, straight hitting, , . " Sixth rnund-PIImmer, under the direction or his seconds, lorced the Aghtlngand made a regu lar chopping block of Kelly, landing his left straight on Kelly's face almost at will. The crowd took a tumble, and it was generally considered only a matter of time. Seventh round Kelly tried to rally in this round and force the fighting, but Plimmer again showed himself to be a general and met his opponent with the utmost ease. There were some very vicious blows struck. Eighth round Kelly was full or leading on the start, but he was well met. and was finally forced lntoactlugon the dcfeuslve. Both men received some pretty severe punishment about the body aud face. Ninth round Considerable in-flghtlng was in dulged in this round, and Kellv was knocked down twice and almost oat bv short-arm blows, but lie plnckily staggerel to his feet and fought like a tiger to the call of time. Tenth round Kellyshowed signs of quitting, and twice he fell down in this round without receiving a knock-out blow, aud the last time he fell he was counted out, much to the dUgust of the assemblage. Readers of last Sunday's Dispatch will not be surprised to learn this morning that Plummer defeated Kelly last evening. Iioth Signed the Articles. New York, May a iSipectal.
