THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAY, MAT 26, 1892.
THEY STEPJJP A PEG,
Our Sluggers Beat the Clever
lands and Take Sixth
Place Again.

EESULTS OF THE EUXNIXG RACES
How pleased local crank? are when the
home sluggers defeat that lively, though
somewhat cheap,
team of ball play
ers from Cleve
land. A few peo
ple have had an
idea that Pitts
burg's champions
were not in it vi ith
the gay little peo
ple Irom Cleve
land, but those
who saw yester
day's game think
differently. True,
the contest was not
oneofthe most bril
liant, hut the home
representatives
S7
jS?
won with something to spare. If there were
any luck about the business the fellows
Irom Cle eland were somewhat lucky in
getting as many runs as they did.
The Had Vt eatlicr Was There.
The weather kept up its record, as a driz
zling rain fell until nearly 4 o'clock. Asa
result there were barely 1,000 people on the
stands. "When the contest did start the rain
kept away, but the huge black clouds were
very threatening until near the finish of the
game.
The game was one that was full of interest
from start to finish, and to win it the home
players had to do some uphill work, and
they did it welL The visitors began as if
they intended to thump ElmerSmith clean
out of the lot, hut after they had got a good
whack at Elmer's pitching in the
opening he settled down and pitched
a really good game. To be sure at theend
of the iirst,iniiing every memberofthelittlc
crowd of spectators thought that the home
plav ers were out of it completely, but such
was not the case. 3Ir. Cuppy, or Koppec,
copped it exceedingly hot at stages and just
when hits would tell most our sluggers
slugged and they slugged with a vengeance.
Thev nearly knocked the stuffing out of the
ball and that is just what "won the game.
There's nothing like timely hitting and if
our thumpers can keep up their gait of yes
terday they will down lots of people.
Harry Knymond Snrprlsd Them
Rnvmond wa in wonderful form both in
fielding and in batting. He hit the ball
safelv three times, and fiey were corking
hard hits at that, one of them being a three
bigger. It was a beauty. The majority of
(lie home players hit the ball hard, but
some very fine fielding kept the safe hits
down. In one instance O'Connor caught
a fly ball from Smith's bat only about two
feet from the right field fence. The catch
was indeed a great one, and it is safe to say
that .Tack O'Conuor will not repeat the feat
very often.
In the second half of the first inning the
visitors piled up no less than four runs and
everyboilv said: "It's all over." Child's
got his base on balls and reached second on
Hurkett's sacrifice. Davis followed with a
hit scoring Childs, and Miller fumbled the
hall long enough to allow Davis to reach
second. Jlclvean went out on a pop up fly
to Bierbauer, and then O'Connor made a
single, scoring Davis. A wild pitch sent
O'Connor to second, and McAlecr cot his
base on balls. Virtue made a single to left,
and Miller again fumbled the ball, allowing
O'Connor to score. Zimmercame neit with
a two-bagger, scoring McAlecr. Cuppy
struck out and the terrible inning ended.
It Began to Look Brighter.
In the second inning matters began to
look brighter for the sluggers. Beckley
led off with a two bagger to right field and
reached third on Smith's sacrifice hit. Then
Harry Itav mond stepped up and whacked
the b ill past Burkett for three bags scoring
Beckley. Tarrell got his base on balls and
stole second. Mack reached first on a fum
ble by Cuppy, Kavmond scoring. Farrell
scored on Corkhill's sacrifice, Corkhill
being afe on Childs' wild throw.
There were no more runs made until the
seventh inning, when the home players
took the lead. Raymond led off with a sin
gle to center field and Farrell knocked a
grounder to Cuppy who threw the bail wild
to second, Raymond reaching thirl on the
error, and Farrell being sale on first. Mack
made a double after Farrell had been put
out at second and after Corkhill was out,
McKcan fumbled Miller's grounder and
Mack scored.
Ami They Tied tin Score.
In the second half the visitors scored one
on a single by Childs, a stolen base and two
srerifice hits. This tied the score.
The eighth inning came and the home
players went safely to the trout. Beckley
started out with a three-bagger to right,
and singles by Smith and Raymond fol
lowed. Then came a base on balls, two
errors and a sacrifice hit by Mack, which
netted three runs. In this inning, when
Smith and Raymond were on third and
second, Captain "Teheau oidered Cuppy to
giv e Farrell his base on balls, McKean tak
ing a position behind Zimmer and McAlecr
coming in to second base. With the bases
full, Mack knocked the ball in front of the
plate, and Zimmer thoughtlessly threw the
ball to first anil allowed-Sinith to score"
In the ninth inning, Shtigart's triple and
Beckley's single scored another run. After
two men were out in the second half a
"life" '"it, two singles and an error by Bier
bauer scored two runs. The score:

The Pittsburg State League Club will play
their opening came at Exposition Park this
afternoon with the Danville team, and, if
their good work since the opening of the
season is any criterion of their ability to

team. Manager Torrej son has secured some
excellent material and promises to make a
strong hid loi the State Leasruepennant.and
the contests at Exposition Park during the
next two weeks promise to fill up the
cap during the absence of the League
team. The new Leairue has made nn
excellent start and It only rcmaius for them
to play good ball and they will drnw large
audiences to their game. The team are all
pretty evenly balanced and the contest for
the pennant is likely to be Interesting. Leb
anon, Altoona and Pittsburg seem to be fa
vorites for first honors, although Altoona h is
already lost two games but, after theii
heavy batters get their eye on the ball, they
will come to the front.
The sLrning of Dinny Shields bv the local
team his completed a very strong infield.
Bobby Cargo is holding down third b.isein
great shape and hitting the ball haid. Mauc
ice is pitching in his usual iroodform and
Cote's back stop work has been the feature
or the opening games The game this after

the admission will be the popular price of
23 cents. The two teams will line up as fol

Tho management of tho Homestead Steel
Works, apparently nppi eclating tho fact
that "all work and no play makes Jack a

of a largo field on the City i nrm propeity
for a b iseball round to the employes or the
Homestead Steel Woiks where aaily tho
ilval clubs of the various departments in
the great plant put their much vaunted skill
as wielders of tne irillow to the test.

inj ured arm. During a conversation yester
dav afternoon Captain Bums said:
I tliink Pittsburg has a good ball team,
and If luck hadn't been dead against them
thev should have won two games at Chi
cago. ,Thcy hive soinethinz to learn about
how to act wheu in tight places. In some
respects some or them lack judgment, but
thev'll improve. I have not seen Woodcock
pitch yet, but it is not woith while taking
him on to Washington when Smith is pitch
inir so well.
"Most certainly we do not want George
Wood, and we never even thonght of getting
him. If we want anybody it Is 'Comer.' I
have nothing to say about Wood's plaj ing,
but we do not want him."

TRACK RECORDS AND TALK.
Major Domo Wins ths Park Wnv Haudl
cap, Malting a New Record.
Race Track, Gravesehd, May 25 The
overshadowing featuie of the lacing this
alternoon was Major Domo's performance
and subsequent victory In the lace for the
Paik Way handicap. The son of Tom Ochil
tree and S"veet Home reeled off the quarters
with amazing speed without extraordinary
cffoi t, and won from end to end in 1:47, mak
ing a new record for that distance over the
Eastern tracks. Aloha made the record
1.46 at Gaifleld Park, Chicago, August 18,
1891. He earned 110 pounds, while Majcr
Domo this alternoon earned 120. The lattOr
could have made It in 1 46, as he was pulled
up all through tho last iui long. Major Domo
doesn't incur a penalty for winning ihe
Park Way, and this afternoon ho was being
heavily backed in the futuie book on the
uburbin handicap. His fractional time
was: First quarter, 21 seconds: one-hair
mile, 48; five furlongs, 101; three quatteis,
1:15; the mile, 1 1 and the mile and one
sivteenth, 1-47.
Kingston, McLaughlin up, and Fairy, Gar
rison up, frightened everything out of tho

t SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
New Castle, May 2!. Two badly
frightened Italians were in New Castle this
morning. The Italians were from Jackson
Center, a small mining town about ten
miles from Mercer. For some time the in
habitants of the place have been the vic
tims of petty midnight robberies.
Last night the two Italians heard a noise
outside their shanty, and one of them arose
and crept to the door with a revolver. He
was awaiting the intruder when a strong
opiate was given him through the keyhole
which put him in a semi-unconscious condi
tion. The robber left without taking any
thing. An alarm was given", and while all
the women of the community were gathered
in one house, the men divided into two
companies and began a search for the per
petrators of the outrages, one of the com
panies containing the Italians referred to
above.
This Italian found two men whom he
thought to be the burglars and, as soon as
they were close enough, one of the two
men threw some liquid matter into tho faces
of the men. Instantly they weie all over
come by a dizziness, and when thev recov
ered the two men weie nowhere to be seen".

son Contei foi some weeks.and at Parde and

house" stood, which was" torn down by a

COMPLIMENTARY TO COL. STONE.
An Amendment of His to a Motion May Be
Well Rec ived To-Dav.
Washington, May 23. Special.
Members who are opposed to any intrusion
of the Sunday question into the treatment
of the "World's Fair bv Congress showed the
white feather in the most approved fashion
to-day. It is safe to say that nine-tenths of
the House membership are opposed to anv
action on this subject, yet when Mr John
ston, of South Carolina, who care3 no more
for Sunday than a Spanish bull-fighter does,
offered an amendment providing that no
part of the proposed appropriation shall
be available if the Fair be opened
on Sunday, only one voice was
raised against it, and in favor ol permitting
the great educational exposition to be
opened on a day which would give oppor
tunity for a mass of citizens who could at
tend on no other dav without serions loss
Mr. Abtier Tavlor, the Chicago Congress
man, weakly defended the Chicago Sunday.
The construction of the amendment was
criticised in that it would fail to accomplish
its purpose, and, to remedy this, ltepresent
ative Stone, ot Allegheny, offered a substi
tute for the Johnston amendment, provid
ing .that before any monev appropriated
shall be paid, the Board of Managers shall
file an agreement with the Secretary of the
Treasury to close tr-e Fair on Sunday. This
met with a general expression of approval
very complimentary to Colonel Stone, and
it will probably beadopted to-morrow.

growing in favor because finer, sweeter and better tobacco can be had

Teething is painful, sleep is poor, unable to re
tain its food, troubled with colic, these arc dan
gerous symptoms. Medicine is not needed. Pure
food, lactated food, that the druggist keeps,
will make the child hippy, healthy and hearty.
Any parent who sees the little one drooping, fading
or dying, should use lactated food. It will posi
tively save life.
