THE LOCAL CLUB AFTER TOM BURNS
It was just the luck
of our sluggers to drop
another game to An
son and his now fa
mous Colts yesterday.
There were 2,800 peo
ple who saw the per
formance, and it is
Eafe to say that few of
those present left the
grounds very well pleased with the exhi
bition. The contest was strongly in con
trast with that of Monday. In all respects
it was inferior to the good contest of Mon
day, and the mistakes made in it caused a
sadness that was very impressive at times.
One of the rankest decisions ever made on
a ball field characterized the game, and it
is hard indeed to understand how Mr. Tim
Hurst decided not to call Canavan out in
the sixth inning after Farrell had fairly
touched him when he (Canavan) had run
over third base. It is not the policy of
this paper to "roast" umpires, but when
ne of those officials makes a mistake as
palpable as calling black white at noonday
there is nothing left but to say that the
umpire is hardly capable of fulfilling his
duties correctly.
Tiicber Woodcock Did Very Well.
One very interesting feature of the con
test was the first appearance in the city of
Pitcher Woodcock, the young left-hander
from Brown College. There were many
people at the game to see the young man
"tried," and he had every encouragement
as far as the cheers and the applause of the
spectators were concerned. But the general
work of his colleagues was far from being
cheering. They made irany glaring mi
takes, but despite that fact" he maintained
his nerve wonderfully. Judging from his
work yesterday he is a very goodpitcher,
an excellent bate runner, a good hitter and
a thoroughly good fielder ot his position.
He is beyond all a cool and intelligent ball
player. He has several very deceptive
curves and tolerably good speed. He was
naturally a little nervous at the start off,
and gave the first two men their bases on
balls, but he then steadied himself so effec
tively that the side should have been easily
retired without a run had not Bierbauer
made a verr unfortunate error. Probably
nobody would leel the mistake keener than
Bierbauer, and it was one that the best of
people are always liable to make.
The mistake of Bierbauer proved to be a
vcrv costly one and so did another that
Miller made. Had these errors not been
committed the result might have been
otherwise. But the team do not always
play that way. They are certainly in the
midst ot misfortune, and "Woodcock need
not think that yesterday's performance was
a sample of their regular work.
Timely netting Mas Again Absent.
There was again an absence of timely
stick work and this was another cause of
defeat. The team can also improve.consid
erably in keeping their heads level when in
a "tight hole," a thing which they did not
do yesterday.
In the first inning matters looked very
cheerful for the home players. Miller led
oil with a single to left and got to second
on a passed ball. Bierbauer got to first on
a wild throw by Canavan, Miller going to
third. Schrivcr tried to catch Miller
napping at third and threw wild, allowing
Miller to tally. Farrell's sacrifice sent
Bierbauer to third and he subsequently
tcored on Becfcley's long fly.
In the second half "Woodcock gave "Wil
mot and Dahlen each a base on balls. "Wil
mot stole third, Dahlen of course going to
second. Ryan was put out by a fly and
Anson was retired at first by Woodcock and
Becklcy. Dungan then sent a lively
grounder between first and second bases and
in running to pick it up Bierbauer some
how stumbled and could not recover in
time to throw the runner out During this
mistake "Wilmot and Dahlen got home by
taking all.chauces.
They Went to the Ironf. -
In the third inning the home talent went
to the front. Bierbauer led off with a
three-bagger and scored on Sliugart's single.
A sacrifice each by Farrell and Becklcy
Eaw Shugart 10 third and Smith got his base
on balls and got to second on a steal aided
by a passed ball. But Corkhill tailed to
hit a safe one and was put out at first. In
the fourth inning a base on balls, two sacri
fice hits and a passed ball scored another
run.
And the Colts scored one in their half.
Canavan's single, Cooney's sacrifice and a
single by Sclimer tallied the run.
Matters were exceedingly close, and the
score was tied in the sixth. Canavan made
a double, and reached third on an error by
Shugart. But Canavan overran the base,
and when oli the bag Farrell touched Him
out, but, strange to say. the umpire called
him safe. The decision was a rank bad one.
A single by Cooney scored the run.
And thevinitors piled up two more in the
seventh. Ryan knocked a long fly to cen
ter, which Miller muffed. Miller threw the
ball to Shugart, and the latter was so slow
in throwing the ball home that Ryan scored.
A lite hit by Dungan. an error by-Shugart
and a single by Gumbert scored the other
run.
Two bases on balls and two sacrifice hits
scored one for the home team in the eighth,
and in the second half singles by "Wilmot
and Dahlen, an error by Smith and a sacri
fice by Ryan scored one for Anson's side.
Xo moie runs were scored. The score :

The East Liverpool Bill Team Want to
Tackle the Alliance Players.
The following statemenUfrom tho Eclipse
Baseball Club of East Liverpool explains it
self: We would like to say a few words to the Alli
ance club in regard to their statement in yester
day's Dispatch. The statement that Manager
Travis refused to accept tbechallenge Is uot true and
well the Alliance club knows It. Tne Eclipse chal
lenged the Alliance to play at Pittsburg at either
Exposition or Recreation parks on any date suita
ble to thf-in for (100 h side and the entire gate re
ceipts, and use same plavers that played at Alli
ance May 6 ami 7. and ve'have never heard a wonl
from the Alliance club inregaidto it one way or
the other, except that they would like tohac50
pcrcentof the gate. vVe won't play tnthatway.
Wcwantto cither win or lose all. The truth of
the matter Is the Alliance club hae not
6and to plav away from home unless ll would be
at Canton, where mot or their players come from,
and where ther have everything In their favor.
They arc running a paid club, and our club is com
posed of players who work hard every davla the
shops. Wc will meet the manager of the Alli
ance cut!) at the Russell House In Alliance
on Mar 24. ready to gn articles of
agreement, and post our f 1C0 for a game under the
conditions of our challenge. We propose to make
the Alliance clnb either play or keep quiet, and
mean business from the start. So all the Alliance
club will have to do will be to meet us on the 24th.

At Least Tnlrly Men Who Would Gladly

ElCHMOND, Va., May 17. SperiaZ.
Governor McKinney's intention in refer
ence to appointing a successor to Senator
Barbour is a matter of much speculation
here. It is asserted here that he remained
over in "Washington with a view of consult
ing national Democrats, and that the only
three names he heard suggested there are John
Randolph Tucker, Fitzhugh Lee and John
Goode. In Virginia there are no less than
30 gentlemen named, and in more than one
instance they are not known outside their
own counties. Mr. Thomas S. Martin is
among the younger men the most
urgently named, his backer being
Senator Daniel. Martin is from Albemarle,
and is a lawyer ot much ability. It is con
ceded that Senator Daniel owes his election
to Martin, who organized his fotces for him
and enabled him to beat Barbour, although
the latter had just couducted a winning cam
paign against Mahone.
a ltzaugii Liee also nas a strong organiza
tion. Among other names mentioned are
several of Governor McKinney's personal
Iriends. The main objection urged against
Mr. Tucker is that he is too near Daniel's
district. Holmes Conrad, of "Winchester, is
regarded as a strong dark horse. It the
Governor should tail to make the appoint
ment before the meeting of the State Con
vention Thursday, it is not unlikely that
an attempt will De made to get that body to
indorse one ot the candidates.

WATCHING MONMOUTH PABK.
Law and Order People Make a Remark
able R'quest of a Judge.
Trenton, N. J., May 17. A delegation
representing the Monmouth County Law
and Order League waited on Chief Justice
Beasley here to-day to request him to con
tinue the Monmouth grand jury in session
in September, the reason being the alleged
purpose of the Monmouth Park people-to
violate the law against pool selling. The
Justice declined to grant the request,-on
the grounds that there is not sufficient evi
dence of a contemplated violation of law,
and that if violations did occur the parties
might be held for the October grand jnry
the same as in all qther criminal meas
ures. As Monmouth is a rural county the
sbrlng session of the grand jury is not
likely to last more than two weeks, and to
keep the members on duty all summer was
regarded by the-- Chief Justice as an ex
traordinary departure.

NEWSY XOTES FEOJI NEARBY TOWNS
Ashland, Pa., May 17. Special.'
Great excitement prevailed at ML Carmel
last night caused by two shots fired in quick
succession and the report coming from the
house of John Klotcb. The neighbors
hastened in the direction and upon entering
the house found Klotcli standing in a room
on the second floor, his hands still grasping
a smoking revolver. A glance was suffi
cient to know what had taken place, on the
bed lay the form of Mrs. Klofth and a Po
landej named Anthony Jenkinski writhing
in pain and the blood "flowing from wounds
in their bodies.
Klotch is a respectable Polander, and
was employed as a watchman at the Mid
Valley colliery. For some time tiast he
has bad suspicion of the unfaithfulness of
ms wile, and he determined to keep a close
watch until he had ample proof to -verify
his suspicions before he took any action.
Last night he left the colliery at 10 o'clock,
four hours earlier than usual, and upon
reaching his home he entered very carefully
so as not to arose any of the occupants.
He had not proceeded far when he noticed
a strange hat lying on a table in the dining
room. He went to a trunk, and, arming
himself with a revolver, he .crept noise
lessly, to his wife's room, where his sus
picions were confirmed.
Both pleaded for mercy, but Klotch
turned a deaf ear, and, covering his wife
with the revolver, he fired. Jenkinski
attempted to escape, but Klotch threw him
back and sent a ball into his body. There
is no hope for the recovery of Mrs. Klotch,
but the physicians attending Jenkinski
think they can bring him out all right.
Klotch gave himself up and is now being
held to await the result of his victims' in
juries. He has the sympathy of the whole
community, and an effort is being made to
have him released on bail. All parties im
plicated in the affray are prominent mem
bers of the Polish Church.
