LOUIS 4 Brooklyn IfPECTAL TELEGRAM TO TITS DISPATCH.! Boston, July 18. If the Pittsburg strikers create any more disturbances like that of to-dav Gov ernor Itussell trill call out the militia in order to protect the Bean -caters from the rioters. Tn. brawny repre sentatives of the city of strikers came to Boston to day and gave an exhibition of the acts of terrorism which have been practiced in the vicinity of their home. The cham pion Bean Eaters represented the Carnegie interests, but unlike the Homestead pro prietors they were perfectly willing to arbi trate after the trouble began. It was the strikers who refused to listen to arguments. They fell upon the Bean-eaters with relent less fury and forced them battered and bleeding to unconditional surrender. The battle was hotly contested and the Pittsburg rioters won. A Blow to the Champions. It was a severe blow to the proud cham pions of the first part, lor they wanted to win to-day's game, but Burns' hustlers had other plans, and when the struggle was ended the Pittsburgs were the victors by the score of 9 to 7. They outplayed the Bostons at every point and fairly earned the game. It was not won on a fluke. The playing of the visitors was of such a supe rior kind that the spectators forgot their sorrow at the defeat of the home nine in ad miration of the brilliant playing of the vic tors. Beckley was the happiest man on the winning team, for he had the command. He played a superb game at first, stopping everything that was thrown or hit within si: feet of him. Such fine pick-ups and Teaches for widely thrown balls have never 'oefore been seen on the grounds. It looked as though Shugart and Bierbauer were in a plt ,io give their acting captain plenty of grand stand exercise. The Pittsburgs be gan scoring in the very first inning, but Donovan's rnn was due solely to errors by Stivetts, Kelly and Lowe. Tuey Balled Stivetts Very Hard. In the third inning they began to bat and tuey batted to such good purpose that Bier bauer, Shugart aud Beckley scored earned runs on their on n hits; a single by Smith and an attempted put out and Smith was en abled to cross the plate by means of a stolen base aud a wild throw by Long. They thus had a comfortable lead ot five runs be fore the Bostons awoke to the fact that they bad run up against a combination of ball players. In the fourth inning the Bostons put in a tingle and a double after Bald win had given a base on balls and two runs were secured. In the first half of the fifth inning the Bostons tied the score by combining three hits with two sacrifices, two bases on balls and wild throws by Miller and Shugart In the last half of the fifth inning, the Pirates pounded in three more runs. Beckley Tjegan the sport with a two-bagger, and after Smith was re tired Farrell followed with a single and Joe Kelly with a three-bagger, the latter hit sending in two earned runs. Kelly scored on Xash's wild throw, and Pittsburg had the game. The Bostons made another brace in the eighth inning, and scored two runs on a base on balls and hits by Quinn and Mc Carthy, but they still needed a run in order to tie the score The game was too close for comfort, so the visitors increased their lead by one run in the eighth inninir, Baldwin scoring on his hit, an attempted put-out and two sacrifices.

Everything in Order for the Local Grand Circuit Races To-Day. HOPEFUL TALK OF FRANK HEKDIC. Big Efforts to Form Organization at a New Bacing Chicago. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT Providing the weather is fine to-day, the Homewood races will commence in grand style. Yesterday the track was crowded al day with horses. None of them were sent along very speedily, but many of them were watched by hundreds of spectators with very keen interest. Bebus, the now famous pacer, was the cynosure of all eyes, and after seeing him perform a little, more than one horseman said that he would have to go his best to wiu the "Oil Producers' Stake." He is a good pacer and no mis take, but there are other good ones at the meeting. Bebus may start to-day in the "Glass Manufacturers' Stake" for pacers eligible to the 2:35 class. The local pacer Baven, owned by H. S. Stewart, was also out and pleased the talent considerably. She is a very speedy mare and some local money will be invested on her. There was a big arrival of strangers in the city yesterday for the races, and it seems that the Detroit meeting is not going to have any injurious effect on the races here. Many of the horsemen who arrived stated that the Detroit Association has been re sorting to very small tricks to induce own ers not to come to the Pittsburg meeting and go to Detroit The unfair inducements offered, however, have not been successful. Among the horsemen who arrived yester dav were: B. T. Meginniss, Cambridge, Md.; N. Cutler and Hartley C. Davis, New York; "W. S. Frash, Huntingdon, Ind.; Colonel A. Collins, Rochester, N. Y.; M. G. Thompson, Utica, U-. Y.; Frank L. Herdic, "Williamsport, and K. Lewis, Cincinnati. Ot course Frank Herdic had much to sav. He took a very cheerful look at the pros pects of the next few days. "Whv, my boy," he said, "we'll have one of tne best race meetings ever held in Pittsburg. There'll be a wonderful lot of horses here and pray, don't ask me to pick any win ners, that is too bard a task. The prob abilities are that there will be some sur prises as there are quite a number of what we may call new horses here." Speaking of the trotting prospects gen erally Mr. Herdic said that the Grand Circuit will be extremely flourishing this year and that some phenomenal time will be made. The bell for the first race will ring at 1:30 this afternoon. AT BEIGHI0N BEACH, Good Weather, a Big; Crowd, and Fairly Good Racine the Feature a.

Horsemen all overthe country are delight ed over the lact that the Coney Island Jockey Club has decided to give a four-mile race at its' autumn meeting at Shcepsuoud Bay. John A. Morris and other horsemen think that Lexington's time can easily be beaten. Our good horsos could smother the old-timers that our fathers and grandfathers tell of, and the owners of St. Floriau says that in a thousand years hence the race lior.se will be a magnificent animal of 17 hands or so, capable of running a mile in 1:25 or 1:30. Mr. Morris is certain that he can select 30 or 40 horses that can surpass Lex ington's record, and Jimmy Rowo, -who has trained the best horses that have stood on iron on this continent, and whose judgment is first class, is of the same opinion as Mr. Morris. It is expected that such stayers as Long street, Judge Morrow, or Strathmeatli, or Poet Scout will be able to beat Lexington's time. An analysis of Lexington's 7:19 shows that each mile in 1:49V would beat it handi ly. It should only De ptay for any fair horso to do this over the Slicepshead Bav course. The best record for four miles is 7:15J, made by the 4-year-old Ten Broeck, Burying 104: Sounds, the trial belnc held at Louisville, v., September 27,1876. Two yeais earlier Fellowcraft, a 4-year-old, carrying four pounds more than Ten Broeck, 1 an four miles at Saratoga in 7:19. Wnnhing'on Park Winners. Chicago, July IS.

BAENES GETS HIS RELEASE. Baldwin and His Jockey Have Trouble Abont a Horse Race. Chicago, July 18. Special. "Pike" Barnes has asked to be reased from the contract that binds him to ride for "Lucky" Bald win's Santa Anita stable at a big salary this season. His leslgnatlon will be accepted, and Barnes may not be seen again in the "black, with red Maltese cross." Barnes rode for Baldwin several years ago, and was released because the California millionaire was not satisfied with the work performed by the able rider, the split fol lowing the expose of the alleged combine that existed in the East betweon colored riders and horso owners. The latest break In business relations was, it is said, the out come of the first race at Washington Park yesterday. Two of the seven contestants were Gallndo and Sprlngaway. The former is owned by Baldwin, was heavily backed by the stable and was ridden by Barnes. Sprlngaway was entered by Jockey "Tiny" Williams, and has been accounted all season as tho property of Williams and Barnes. In a hot drive Sprlngaway beat Gallndo. A re pot t that Barnes had backed Sprlngaway caused the Baldwin stable, it is said, to sta tlon watches about the course nnd it was lurther rumored that these experts reported that Barnes had pocketed Galindo and then came itn a rush at the end too late to win, aiding Springawny to victory. Trainer Dow Williams, ot the Baldwin stable acknowl edged that Barnes would retire, but refused to sav that yesterday's race had anything to do with the" matter. To the judges Barnes declared that he owned no part of Spring away, although he did admit that he allowed his name to be used in connection with the colt's ownership. Jockey Barnes and Jockey Williams are partners in a saloon in tnls city. Their friends won heavily on Springaway yester day. TO RIVAL WASHINGTON PARK. Western Horse Owners and Breeders In tend to Organize a Company. Chicago, July 18. There may be another race track in Chicago next year to be built, owned and occupied by an organization of hoi-be breeders and owners, who will take this means of redressing their accumulated grievances against .Washington Park. The plan with which many of the most promi nent owneis and breeders in the South and West whose names have been standing in the Washington Park stake book since its first publication are Identified has gone be yond the embryotio stage, and although it may never be ttansferred from paper to leality, there is no lack of determination or means behind it. It contemplated declaring all 01 the Washington Park stakrs, and lacing only at the track controlled directly by the owners. This action Is pi oposed he cause of the great dissatisfaction among horsemen w ith the way Washington Park is conducted. Since the opening of the present meeting, breeders and owners have met and discussed the situation, and E. J. Baldwin, Sco'gln Bros., and others have expressed themselves strongly in favor of organization and action. Clitnn and Morgan, owners of the Kentucky stable, extensively engaged in the Wash ington Park stakes, brought 23 horses here over a week ago with the intention of start ing them in the stakes and purses, but they were curtly informed that ther would have to provide shelter lor their animals outside of the grounds. Other owners have been accorded similar treatment, and say that when It comes to collecting forfeits they will give the club an argument on the ground that the club having failed to furnish stabl ing accommodations they were unable to race their horses.

The city was virtually given up to the knights ot the silent steed who had stolen in during the late hours of Saturday night, as well as all, day yesterday. Visiting cyclists are pouring into the city by the hundreds, and the Ebbitt House, where the headquarters of the league are established, presents a lively sight A modest estimate based upon the registra tion of organization places the number of wheelmen in Washington at upwards of 15,000, representing every section of the United States. .

Arthur Strong, of the Buffalo (K. Y.) Press Cycling Club, is the champion col lector. He was decorated with 47 badges of diflerent designs, and he bore no small like ness to a ribbon counter on bargain day. Great Events Planned for To-Day.

July a Trying Month for the Parents of Little Children. Dn J, E Hanaford Tells How Many and Many a Wea Life Can Ba Save! "Few.roothers realize the responsibility that comes with the little life that has been Intrusted to them. "It Is the mother who is directly responsible for the health of her child, and upon her knowledge and care often depends the life of tbe little one." The speaker was a prominent physician who knows the conditions upon which a baby's life de pends as well as. If not better than, any other man in Pittsbnrg. The following letter, from Mrs. Taylor, of Me dora, IIL, that was recently published IntheClil eago,ftroW. Illustrates the value of a mother's knowledge. Mrs. Taylor writes: "When my baby was two months old. he was not as large as when be was born. He had been troubled with a weakness of the bowels, and nothing '. that we could do for hint j helped him one bit. We were feeding him cow's milk at tbe time and It did miirTiTum- noi small uuu. ii no seemed starved and hungry all the while. "When two months old we pat him on Iictated food, and It acted like a charm, so that now you cannot find a healthier, happier baby. He sleps all night and plays all day. and his picture shows what lactated food did for him. I hope all mothers who are obliged to feed their little ones will have the blessing or knowing of this wonderful food that saved my baby's life." Dr. J. II. Hanaford, the well-known medical au thority says: "Tbe fact that abont fifteen Infants to every hundred born, die during tbe first year, is significant and lamentable. I am decidedly of the opinion that the general Introduction of lactated food would materially diminish this death rate.' Lactated food Is not a medicine, but simply" a pure combination of sngar of milk and the nutri tious elements of wheat and barley that ean be ob tained at any drug store. 2 cents will buy enough to make ten pints of good, wholesome food that will keep the little one strong and well and lay the foundation for a sound body- and vigorous health la the years to come.
