Walter Wins the Great American
Stakes at Gravesend Tract.
BIG OFFER TO M'ATJI.IFFB AND MIER
Once more our sluggers were stopped
from winning a game by rain yesterday,
and their rivals, the Cleveland's were in the
same fix. Baseball magnates all over the
country are complaining strongly about the
remarkably bad weather, and each claims
that thousands and thousands of dollars
have been lost by the rain. Messrs. Temple
and Kerr, of the local club, state that rain
has cost the club near $20,000 so far this
season, judging from the attendance on fine
days. Rain has not only been injurious at
home but also abroad. The recent trip of
the team to Chicago was a little better than
expected, Manager Buckenberger bringing
baccuith him 1,100.
The directors of the club, together with
Captain Burns, have made up their minds
to have as few plavcrs as possible on the
team so as to keep expenses as low as they
reasonably can be. The cutting down was
accordingly done yesterday by Swartwood
and Earle being "released. Mr. Temple
went to Xcw York last evening and before
going he definitely stated that the players
had been released becaused the expenses of
the club were too big. He said: "It was
left uith Cantain Burns to reduce the num
ber, as he would know best what players he
could do without Of course two good men
have been released, but it is always difficult
to select men to be released when they are
all good ones."
There is an opinion prevailing to some
extent that Pitcher Woodcock will not be
long here. Mr. Temple and Mr. Kerr had
nothing to say on tins point, but it is known
that Captain Burns recommended his re
lease. He mav be retained for awhile
longer so as to give him a better try. One
thing should not be lost sight of, viz., that
u hen WoodcocK has been pitching he has
not had very good support. But it is not
unsafe to sy that cither he or Camp will
hae to go, and efforts will be maile to sign
a first-class outfielder. Captain Burns in
tends to make several changes, and he has
been given absolute power to do so by the
club's directors.
Local bnseball patrons will regret the
hard luck of Ed Swartwood. His arm is in
bad shape, but with fine weather he expects
it will be all right. "When it does get well
again tliTewill be few more useful play
ers on a team than Ed. He would he a val
uable man tor more than one League club.
And Billy Earle will soon get an ofier, as it
will be hard to find many catchers anything
better than Earle is. Earle is a ball
player and no mistake, being a good base
runner, a good hitter and an excellent
catcher. E-ich player accepted his release
esterday w ith good grace. Swartwood w ill
remnin in the city until his arm is all right,
and Earle w ill remain here a few days.

half of the second inning had fairly started
the rain came down so strongly that Umpire
Murtha called "timo," and after waiting 30
minutes the game was called.
No runs were scoied by either side. Man
afee pitched lor Pittsburg, and he hit Ain
mermnn with a Ditched ball and Gosh made
a single off his delivery in the second inning.
In the first inning Cargo and Hnrtman each

connected with a club w hlch had such good pitchers

Captain N tsu Is of the opinion that the field
captain should have the entire control of the nine
on the field and be allowed to arrange the batting
order, instead of having a manager over him to do
those things. The manarer should look out for the

0TJIBIDDING THE OLYMPIC. '
Tho Coney Island Athletic Cub Offera
812,000 forSlcAullffo and Slyer.
New York, May 25. Special. The Coney
Island Athletic Club, through Manager
Lumley, yesterday made a move which
would seem to Indicate a square flglit with
the Olympic Club, of New Orleans. It was
In the shape of an offer to Jack McAulIffe
and Billy Myer to transfer their contest.now
billed for September 5 In New Oileans. to
the C. I. A. C. Tho inducement was in the
form or $2,000 addod to the purse of $10,000
offered by the Olympic. A side issue in the
negotiations between the men is a $1,000
forfeit which Myer claims on the ground
that McAuliffo refused to continue the
match that was bognn by the posting of said
forfeit. The Olympic Club promised, when
he signed the present articles of agreement,
to make this amount good to Myer.
Manager Lumley proposes to make ar
rangements such that McAuliffe shall pay
the lorleit claimed b3' Mver out of his share.
Thus, if McAuliffe should be beaten by
Mver. he would not get a cent, while if Mc:
Anliffo should win, Myer would tecelve
$2,000. McAuliffe sin shew ould rather light
at Coney Island for the laiger purse. A
tolegram was sent to Myer in Chicago bear
ir.e" tho new proposal.
The Coney Island Club scheme may be as
sisted by a notification of Representative
O'Noil, ot New Orleans, in the Louisiana
Legislature on Wednesday to the effect that
that uinmborof the body intended to intro
duce a bill calling for the repeal of all char
ters or licenses that pcimit glove contests in
the State. This action and the collapse of
the Fitzsimmons-Pritchard match make the
boxing atmosphete rather bluo in New Or

NEWSY KOTES FROM KEARBI TOWXS
Fr-ECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATOJ.l
Fkanklin, May 2(3. The identity of the
postoffice robber now confined in the county
jail here- has been the subject of much
speculation and newspaper comment. He
says his name is Clyda P. Hamilton. That
the name is an assumed one the officials
have the best of evidence. John Mnckle,
one of the police officers of the Pennsyl
vania Eailroad, visited the jail yesterday
and fully identified the prisoner as Melanc
thon Cook Hall, or "Cook Hall, " as he is
better known. He is a brother of J. Mor
ton Hall, formerly General Ticket and Pas
senger Agent of the Allegheny Valley Kail
road, and is a scion of one of the most
respectable families in Beaver county.
Officer Muckle was baggagemaster of the
Valley roadwhen the Union Express Com
pany was robbed of $10,000 some years since
at Etulenton, and came to Franklin to see
if he could connect Hall with that crime.
He failed to do so, but Iron: some tips given
him by ome Pittsburg gamblers he hart no
ttnuble identifying him as being Cook Hall.
Hall has quite a record He Rcrvcd nine
reaislnthe penitentiary for the murder of
Eva Foster In Pittsburg some 3-ears ago.
White in prison lie formed the acquaintance
of a nnmber of crooks. Since being released
he has made a livingbv gambling. He has a
mother and sister living in Beaver and a
brothor in Chicago, all of whom are le
spectod by everyone who knows them.
After vainly endeavo.-injj to have him re
form and lead a lespectablo Hie hi family
cait him off. A short time a;ro the pot,
amountins to JGOO, suddenly disappeared
fioma Johnstown gambling house, and at
the sume time Hall was found to be mlsing.
It Is more than likely a hard light will be
made to secure tho acquittal of the accused
Eostofflco robbers when their trial comes up
efore the United States Com t, and Hughes
and Kaymond, Hall's accomplices in the
robbery of tho potofflce at Kidgeway, are
vory confident or being acquitted. On the
other hand, Inspector McCaltnont says the
evidence will secure the conviction of the
whole gaug.

Trial at Somerset, Pa.

This was the Judge's first appearance before
a jury in the capacity of a lawyer since he
was elevated to the bench 11 years ago.
He confined his talk entirely to tho points
of law involved, and declared that the evi
dence would admit of no other verdict than
manslaughter, and the Jnry would have to
strain a point to find his client guilty of
that. Thomas M. Marshall followed for tho
defense. He said he would not have come
here had it not been that he desired to de
fend an Allegheny county boy, and declared
that the evidence given by the defense was
tho clearest and most truthful he overheard
on the witness stand. General Koontz
closed for tho Commonweilth. The jury
will bo charged in the forenoon. A verdict
of manslaughter Is expected.

Lives Lost and Great Destruction of
Property by Storm,
We mourn the dead, wa sympathize with
those who have lost dollars.
But lost health hardly excites a ripplo of
comment outside the Hufferer close circle.
It's so common. Nearly everybody Is ailing
in some way.
The misery of It all Is that bad goes to
worse; the cold of this week is the grip of
next and the pneumonia of soon after. The
little ache grows to rheumatism the cough
tnrns to consumption. Doctors and under
takers are the only happy ones.
If tho world went on as it should and
could there wouldn't be one doctor where
there are ten now.
Pntting off, putting off hoping against
reason and trying to save expense aro at
the bottom or most of this suffering and dy
ing. J o need to "put it off" for another day.
All thatmedicnl skill can tell you may bo
yonr for nothing.
