2Ci:v York, June 3. "One good turn
deserves another," said lid Crane this morn
ing in the club
house, "and I'm
going to play right
field for you this
afternoon, Amos. I
tell you what, old
man, I appreciate
the work you did
for me yesterday.
You caught every
thing that came
your way and your
hitting was out of
sicht I can play
quite aa outfield
myself, and I'm
just about due to
hit the ball," and
Crane smiled proudly as he pictured him-t-elf
pulling dow n liners and hitting a three-
Imggcr with the bases full. Kusie seemed
pleaded by Crane's assurances and went
Into the game with great confidence.
Crane TYas a Complete Failure.
At the end of the sixth inning, Crane by
a bad error hail presented two runs to the
Piltsburgs and he had struck out twice.
Then he wandered over to the club house,
threw his cap on the floor, kicked the cus
pidor and remarked to Ticrnan, who was
jiursinz his lame leg, that he never wanted
to oblige a man, but w hat he clipped up.
Field took Crane's place and madca single,
bat fortunately had no fielding chances.
Itusie pitched one of his old-time games
aad with the exception of the first inning
was very effective. "While the New Yorks
Made the most hits, the v were usually made
trim two men out and Baldwin letoedany
jnore. Again Miller and Corkhill cut oft
tome i.gly drives, while Shugart made some
phenomenal stops.
They M.-tle a Good "Start.
The New Yorks got a run in the first on
Grr two-bagger and a low throw to first
by Tarrell. The rittsburgs did better.
Aiter Miller's fly ha j fallen into O'Rourke's
iand and UierbMier's easy grounder to
Busic had been fielded to first, Shugart hit
Jo left fir a base and Bcckley came next
aiith a terrific smash to right lor three
liases. Smith drove Beckley home with a
clean single to center and Farrell ended the
Inn with a grounder to Kusie. That hitting
which was dolie with two men out was very
expensive. After that inning Rusie settled
down and but three more hits were made off
liitn. The New Yorks tied the score in e
third, getting in a run on Gore's base on
I'AlK and (singles by Fuller and Richardson,
j'uller tried to score from first on a single
aivl w as run out.
A Stair oTMncli Sidneys.
The fourth inning was full of sadness for
Hie New Yorks. Farrell started off with a
ba'e on balls and went to second on Slack's
grounder. Then Corkhill hit safely to
right and gave Crane his coveted oppor
tunity to return a favor to his fellow
pitcher. The ball came on an easv bound
to Crane, but he was so anxious to hold the
iiase runners down that he tried to throw
the ball belore he cot his hands on it. The
result was that the ball rolled out under
iJie ropes and Farrell came home. Cork
hill was rnshing around the bases in a great
'iHrry and when Crane completed his effort
bya'lud thiow Corkhill also crossed the
Ji'iate.
The 1'ittsburgs got their final run in the
fifth on Bicrbauer's double, a sacrifice and
Richardson's lailure to bold Beckley's
pronnder. The score:

SPALDING'S VIEW OF IT.
A. C. Says Ho Would Regret to See Anson
Leave Chicago.
When nsked in New York concerning the
rumor that Anson was to leave the Chicago
club and take charge of the New Yorks, A.
G. Spalding said:
"The first I heard of the matter was what
I saw in the newspapers, and I nssure yon I
was very much surprised. So far as actual
negotiations for Anson's transfer from Chi
cago to New York are concerned I do not
think they have been opened. At least I
have heard of none, and I am sure that if
Anson contemplated such a step he wonld
first notify those inteiested In the Chicago
club."
"But if the old man desired to cast his for
tunes with those of some other club, would
any serious objection be raised by the Chi
cago officials?"
"Speaking for myself, I should most ear
nestlv regret to seo Anson lenvo Chicago.
For 10 venrs he has nerved tho baseball pub
lic of that city with steadfast loyalty, and
his brilliant achievements on the ball field
arc known to nil men. Ho stands head and
shoulders above any livlni ball player. Not
only has his work us a ball player been of
tho first order, but his private life has been
above leproach. and his integrity unques
tioned. Anson leaving Chicago would seem
to me liko pulling tho team up by the roots.
It would thereafter be "Hamlet' without the
Dane. Feeling this way, I say that if Anson,
alter all theso long years of patient, faith
ful, splendid work, should come before the
stocknolders of the Chicago club and say he
desired to go elsewhere, not a hand wonld
ho r.iised against him. Anson has earned
the rigiit to go or stay as he pleases. At the
same time, those interested in tho Chicago
club would take the departure of the old
man as a personal affliction."
To Strengthen Two Teams.
Xew York, June 3. Last night a secret
meeting was held here by the Leagne mac
nates Byrnes, Hobinson, Brush and Day.
This moiniug a prominent director of the
Xew York club was asked If tlio meeting
was for the purpose of making a deal
whereby the Xew York and Baltimoie clubs
could bo strengthened. Ho said: "Well, I
guess yon are not f.ir wrong: however, I'm
not at liberty to say nnythlng about it."
Pitcher Mcckin has been reinstated.
TJIiret Ordered to Reports
A telegram was received by Mr. Templo,
of the locnl ball club, yesterday from Man
ager Buckenbcrger stating that Captain
Burns had ordered Pitcher Ehret to report
on June 15 in condition to pitch. If Ehret
is not in condition by that time he will be
sutpended indefinitely. Mr. BuckenDerger
also stated in his telegram that Woodcock
w ill pitch at Boston to-day.
To-Eay's County League Game,
The old County League favorites, the
Homestead club, will play against the cham
pion Gyms at Gymnastic Club Park this
afternoon. The ex champions will receive a
hearty and enthusiastic welcome, as they
were always well liked for their quiet and
gentlemanly deportment on the field, as well
as for the superior article ofbaseball they
always put up. The old-time favorites, the
Colgan brothers, Howe, Youngman and Tet
ters, the crack left ficlderof lastyear's Jean
nette Grays as well as several otherold-time
County League stai, will he found with
them Al Crnni, who pitched for the Alle
ghenies in l?i9, will be the pitcher, and he
will make the heavy hitters of the Gyms
hustle. The Gyms will present Boyle, of
lastyear's Our Boys, at short stop. He Is a
quick and active little player, and will fill
up the big hole at short caused by Cargo's
desertion to the State League. Tho game
w ill be called at 4 o'clock.
Two Games To-Day.
The Allentown and Pittsburg clubs did
not play yesterday at Exposition Park on
account of wet grounds, so there will be two
games to-dav for one price of admission.
The first will commence at 2 o'clock and the
second at 4. Manager Felix Marks, of the
Allentown club, seems to be very confident
that bis tram will take one of the two
games, possibly both. Lnkens, tbe Phila
delphia phenomenon, will Ditch tho first
game, and MeCullougli the second, while
Menefcc and Junes will do the twirling for
thp home team. The make-up of tbe two
tennis will be the same as published in
yesterday's Disr-ATCH.

fited by his knowledge of the Intricate points of the

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
FMl Casey Talks About Training Sullivan
for the Bis Fight.
Kkw Yokk, June 8. Tbe mode of training
Sullivan for bis fight with Corbett Is a sub
ject that is causing considerable discussion.
So men know hotter than Charley Johnston
and Phil Casey, the big fellow's respective
backer and trainer, what is best to put their
charge in form for the coming conflict, and
as neither man has yet expressed himself in
regard to the matter,all accounts pertaining
to the event have been merely conjectures.
One thing seems to be pretty certain, that
before Sullivan begins hard work there will
be a thorough understanding between him
self, his backer and trainer, and the respon
sibility or his getting into condition will
rest with Phil Casey, backed up by Charley
Johnston, who will take more than the
ustal Interest in the preparation of his man.
Nothing as yet, however, has been outlined
either as to the character -of Sullivan's
training or the selecting of training gronnd.
Coney Island, Oyster Bay and Fatchogno
have been mentioned ps affording special
facilities for Sullivan's work, but it is safe to
sav that neither of these locations will be se
lected. In talking to aTeDorter about the
mntch yesterday Casey said:
"A prober training ground is of the utmost
importance. I must say that Corbett has
picked out a good spot in Asbury Park, but
then that place has Its objections. It is gen
erally filled with summerresldents from the
large cities, and it is just such things that 1
wish to avoid. Quarters near salt water are
just the thing If .you can get them properly
located. My idea will bo to get ns far from
railroad communication as possible.
"Sullivan is going into this affair with Cor
bett as if his life depended upon the result.
He is confident of winning: so am I. But
we will tako no chances. Therefore, Snl
livnn knows, probably better than any
other man, what will be necessary to get
into perfect trim. I have my own ideas
about the matter, and little conferences be
tween us I'm sure will lead to happy re
sults. Another thing, I don't think that
Sullivan shonld be charged with irritability.
Any man who can travel around the coun
try and have his privacy invaded by gaping
crowds, and have all sorts of questions
howled at him without the slightest evi
aonce of disapprobation, mast be a man of
wonderfnl temperament."

THE ELECTRIC FLYER
Between Chicago and St. Louis Causes
Considerable Discussion.
EXPERTS TALK ABOUT THE SPEED
ind Pome Eelleve .idams Has & Secret
. That Will Secure It.
ELECTRICITI FOE NEW YORK'S L LOE
ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
New York, June a Dr. "Wellington
Adams' scheme of building an electrical
railroad between Chicago and St. Louis
that will run passenger cars at the rate of
100 miles an hour, proved an interesting
topic of conversation for the electricians of
this town to-day. Mr. Adams told the story
of his project vaguely to the members of tl e
Electric Club on Monday night and rather
startled his expert listeners.
To-day the electricians debated amonc
themselves as to whether the project was
practicable. Opinions seemed to be divided
abont it One of the editors of the Electric
World said this afternoon that he saw no
reason to doubt that the thing could be ac
complished. "As I understand it, from
Mr. Adams' somewhat guarded explanation
of his method." he said, "he is going to
adopt the three-phase current to develop
the motive nower. The three-phase current
differs from the alternating current in that
it has three wave motions instea'l of two.
The alternating current has a forward and
backward wave motion. The three-phase
has a third, which is produced by tne pecu
liar construction of the dynamo generator.
That is a secret that Mr. Adams does not
reveal. The three-phase current is used be
cause it is better adapted to transmission
over long distances and is operated with
less loss of energy than the alternating cur
rent, and is consequently more economical
than the alternating current.
Thinks 100 Miles an Hour Is Obtainable.
"Mr. Adams' description of his enerey
producing method indicates that it will be
similar to the srsiera exhibited last year at
the Frankfort Electrical Exhibition, which
is called the Frnnkfort-Lauflen system. The
motive power was generated by waterfalls
at Lauflen and transmitted over small
trolley wires to Frankfort, a distance of
something more than 100 miles, anu used in
Frankfort to operate motors. To attain his
proposed speed of 100 miles an hour Mr.
Adams will have only to gain 25 miles on
the speed already attained by team power,
and the scheme is therefore a comparatively
easy undertaking in the advanced state of
the art of electrical propulsion.
"Prof. Crosby's experiment, referred to
at the Electrical Club discussion, ot attain
ing 120 miles an hour speed, was made last
year with an electric motor car on a con
tinuous circular track at Laurel Hill. Md.
The track was about a mile and a half long;.
Mr. Crosby had his motors built in a special
car, which worked on the locomotive plan,
and was designed to carry passenger cars as
the locomotive does."
Dr. Louis Bell, who is a consulting en
gineer for a number of electrical projects,
is one of the experts who doubts the prac
ticability of the Adams scheme. Dr. Bell
said that the road bed of the 100 mile an
hour Chicago Air Line railway would be a
serious problem from an engineering stand
point. He himself would not think of con
structing a road of this kind without being
certain that he could secure the finest and
safest road-bed. It would have to be care
fully and thoroughly tested before the ex
periment could be tried of driving cars at
such an enormous speed as 100 miles an
hour. Prof. Crosby had found the road-bed
nnsafe in his experiments last year in run
ning an electric car 120 miles an hour.
The L May Becomi Electric
The elevated road is considering the ad
visability of adopting electricity. A re
porter asked Colonel Hatn what system
Prof. Short, of Cleveland, O., had proposed
for adoption by the "L" road. He replied
that so far as he comprehended it the elec
tricity was to flow through a rail between
the tracks.
"Prof. Short gives me to understand," he
continued, "that he has overcome all the
obstacles that have heretofore beset tbe
electric companies. He says the current
may be cut oft or turned oQ at any point on
the line, so that the operation 'of trains
would not be interfered with whenever
there happened to be a big fire or anything
else that caused an obstruction to traffic at
any point. It is claimed that we can have
20,000 horse power, which is the maximum
amount of power we require at certain in
tervals during the day.
"Prof. Short has given two months to a
study of the requirements for electricity on
the elevated road and says he will submit
plans to the company. "While I am not en
thusiastically sanguine of his success I am
certainly hopetul.
