A halt was called in the Philadelphia Club's pennant- ward march to-day, the Pittsburg team winning a rather loosely p 1 fy e d game by a score of 5 to 1.

"Weyhing was about equally effective, but his support was poor and his own wild throws were very costly. "Weyhing really gave Pittsburg four of the five runs scored. A base on balls to Kelly and Weyhiug's wild throw of Khret's grounder gave the visitors their first run in the fifth inning. In the sixth Beckley's single and a base on balls to Smith placed two men on bases, and "Weyhing sent both home by throwing the ball to right field when Farrell sent him a grounder. Farrell reached third base on tlieerror aud scored a moment later on Kelly's flv to Delehanty. Pittsburg's fifth and last run was scored in the eighth inning on Farrell's single, a fumble bv Delehanty, Kellv's sacrifice and Ehret's single. Philadelphia's onlv run was made in the second inning on hits by Delahanty and Clements, a fumble by Smith and Cross' sacrifice.

Sbecfal Esper. late or the Philrles, slgnod a contract to pitch for the Pittsburg club, and will report there about next Friday. In tbe meantime he will recreate at Atlantic City In the hope that the salt water and ocean breezes will do him good. His showing with the Phillies this season has been very good, he having won 16 games out of 21 In which be officiated. Acting President Buoken borger is satisfied he has scoured a valua ble man both in tbe box and at the bat. His opinion Is concurred in by Al Pratt, who is in tnis city at present, aerry wiu do ibe go. as tbe club oannot afford to carry any dead timber. It Is expected that when tbe club returns to Pittsburg some action will be taken in the case of Manager Burns by tbe club officials. President Temple has been fully Informed on Burns' course, and the utter Indifference manifested bv tbe latter about the proper care and oonduct of the players is simply astonishing. He does not even take the interest in tbe club that the lowest salaried member of the team manifests, and It 1b no wonder tbe players became discontented and failed to put up the article of ball they are paid to do. No n that Bnckenberger bas the practical charge or affairs well played games may be looked for, as he takes an intense interest in tbe club and the players appreciate him and his ability. He possibly prevented the loss of another game to-day by telling Burns who to play after the latter had arranged another such patohed up team us that which pre sented a game to Brooklyn yesterday. fSrlCIAL TEUEQRAlt TO TUB DISTATCH.1 Cleveland, July 27. The track was slippery and the double team race was held over until to-morrow. Martha Wilkes' third mile in the mud in 2:15)4, last half in 1:06K. ranks as one of the best evsr trotted in a race. Sunset found the pro gramme still unfinished. Quality was well represented in the field for the 2:19 trot for hwhich Martha Wilkes, with her Detroit record of 2:15, was backed at long odds. Illinois Egbert on the side gave way to the mare at the first turn. Coming to the half, Doble eased her a little and Nightingale led to the stretch. Here Martha "Wilkes was given her head, and finished first by a length. In the next heat, Martha left Prince II., with the greatest ease. Geers made a final effort with the handsome Buffalo mare, but Doble sal perfeotly Btill and let Martha win on her courage. in the lree,-tor-all pace, the Caliiorma pacer Bupce, made his first appearance this season. Grant's Abdallah, the favorite, came up at the last turn aud in a driving finish, SeatRupee half a length. The sec ond heat was a curious .one. Every horse broke. Rupee made a further effort and Abdallah beat Telegram in a rattling finish by a bjlt length. The last heat was a bat tle royal between Doble and Goldsmith, both using desperate efforts to snatch the victory, but the favorite had a shade the best of it at the wire. The 2:27 trot had H. O. T. for favorite. The Raven snapped the first heat. The Texas stallion captured the next two from Raven and Magnolia. The first mile in the mud had told ou the favorite, Magnolia beating him in the next two. "With only three lelt It looked like a cinch lor Mag nolia but the mare faltered and Haven shot to the front. It was too dark to trot the deciding heat To-morrow Nancy Hanks goes against Maud B' 2:08 and Hamlin's team have their shy at the 2:13 mark.

The leaders are the people our sluggers like to down. Hardy Riciiaudson Is booked for release by New York. Mat EiebOY Is pitching for amateur teams around Philadelphia. "A BKIC-A-BRAC AKU" Is BOY the EQUCO gee definition of a lame wing. If Esper signs with the local clnb he may pitch here to-morrow or Saturday. The Keystones will play a game with the Young Americas at Braddock Saturday next. Ye&terdat's work of our slugs-era was certain ly a great contrast to their work of Tuesday. AND don't forget the fact that our sluggers can put up a great game when they are In the humor. Howard Earlk, who was discovered py Uncle Anson In '90, Is now captain of the Oshkosn team. The 3 A's will play the East End Gym ball team at A. A. A. Park on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Jerry Denxt has a batting average of .300 in the California League. Fred Carroll's batting av erage is .292. IT Is verv evident that Ewlng's heart Is not In his work with the New York club. He would do much better service In some other nine. Pitcher Kkill has signed with the Phillies and Esper may come to Plttsbnrg. The latter has sot been pitching a winning game for the Phillies. They nave a new wav ofnuttlna? It at Yale. When a man is "frozen" out or a re-election as captain or the nine, they say he refused the posi tion. THE League umpires are to beglven a week's vacation by Secretary Young. Umpire Lynch, who has not missed a game this year, is now en Joying a rest. Cabdtiiebs will do no more pitching, except possibly In an emergency. He says he wants to play In the Held every day. Von der Ahe Is willing that be should do so. The Chicago irs contributes a great cartoon to the collection or inshoots Uncle Is getting this year. The old man is discovered with a spyglass overlooking a field or fruit or the squan kers. The caption Is crueL It Is, "Nothing but Goose Eggs in Sight." It is a dangerous practice that some players In dulge in the careless tossing away or the bat after the ball lias been hit Land, in a receut MoDhe game, grew angry because he sent out a fly and swung his bat down viciously. It sailed back and knocked Umpire Graves senseless. Albert Lawsox, manager of the New York Amateur Baseball Club, sailed Saturday for Europe on the steamer Anchorla.

George Dawson, of Australia, and Dannie Needham, lor merly of St. Paul, fousrht at the California Athletics Club last nilit for a $2,000 purse. Tbe contest took place in a hall opposite tbe old quarters of tbe Calilornla club, which at times had been used both by the California and Occidental clubs. The hall w as remodeled to admit a larger seating ca pacity, and this was tested to the utmost to night, fully 17,000 people witnessing the con test. Several two-round goes preceded the event. Needham onened the fight vigorously, but Dawson came back in such energetic style that the first fiveiounds were about even, although Dawson was nearly floored In the second round by a vicious right-hander. From the sixth to the twelfth round the fUht went Needham's way, he battering the Australian all over the ring, and drawing blood from him in streams. In tbe thirteenth Dawson cauzht it hard on the nose and seemed to be growing weaker. In the fifteenth Dawson fouirbt desperately, twice sending Neeaham to the floor, and nearly knocking him out. The sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth rounds were lought slowly, both men being winded. The twenty-fourth was Needham's round, but he was almost knocked out by Dawson's heavy smashes In the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth rounds. In the twenty eighth round Needham fell six times, but more because of weakness than blows. In tbe twenty-ninth be was knocked out with a hard, smash on the jaw. C0KBETT AH 0AESHAK. .The l'nglllst Wins Two Boat Races Easily at Aabaiy Park. Asbury Park, July 27. Corbett took more than the ordinary course or training to-day. He spent a portion of the afternoon rowing on Deal Lake, and the monotony was re lieved by two interesting boat races. In the first there were five entries. Corbett won easily, Brady second, Jim Daly third, Billy Delany fourth and Danny Dillon last. The course was a quarter-mile long. Corbett also won the second race, with Brady second and Dillon third. John Farrell, of New York, was relet ee. Lawrence Ford, who plaved two exciting games of handball yesterday with Corbett und was beaten both times, will bring sev eral expert handball players here this week. They will all meet the boxer at this peculiar game and some Interesting contests are looked for. f Corbett was asked to-night how be -liked Asbury Park after his stay of six weeks. "I amstuofcon it." fie said. While it was ex ceedingly warm In the center of tbe town, a cool breeze from the ocean made the rtra'lv qnnrter qnfto comfortable. Good Sport at Saratoga.

In regard to the dispute between Ives and Schaefer, the bllllardlsts, the former made the following statement to a World reporter to-night: "At the time I arrived here from America It had been agreed upon that tbe date of the contest 'for the championship between Soboefer and myself shonld be the 25th and that time expired last nlgbt, but It was not until 4 o'clock this afternoon that I cabled the Brunswick and Balk-Colleuder Company, at New York, claiming Schnefer's forfeit money. Thus he withdrew from the contest which he himself provoked and the cham pionship remains in my hands. I defeated Schaeter on the 19th ot March with a score 800 to 419, 1 defeated Slosson on the 21)t of May by 800 to 418. I secured the highest averaee ever mac" e In a champion match, 25, while the highest average made by Scnaefer was 23 18-34, and by Slosson 22 30-33. I boat Carter on the 28th of Oc tober last at Milwaukee by a scoie of 00 to 184. "I should like to play a match with Vig- naux and havo challenged him in an In formal manner to a five nights' contest of .600 points each night, but Vhrnaux has refused, stating that he did not wish to play any moie long games." The champion spoke In a somewhat dis heartened tone as though there was no fresh laurels lor him to try for, and went on to say that Schaefer had done considerable talking, but when ic came down to real earnest play he preferred to lose his forfeit money. It has been arranged that Sloison and Ives shall go to Trouville durlns the race week to play, if Slosson' health permits. This evening Sloison was to ill to play Ives the 300 polut balk-line same which was on the piogramme, and so Cure took bis place, receiving the advantage ot 120 points. The game resulted in an easy victory for Ives, who made an average of 37. while his opponent scoied only 229, including his allowance. This aftoinoon Slosson was beaten at cushion cut onis by Cui e. Slosson goes on a trip to Mariensbad August 4. and he hopes by this means to restore Ills health. This evening at Viguaux's saloon Schaefer Stayed with Piot a game of 300 points up. alk lino, conceding 60 points to his op ponent. Scbaorer was beaten, making only 214. On Thursday the international match will be played between Schaeter and Carter on the one band and Garnler, with Piot, on the other. The game will be cushion caroms, 300 points up. RYAN IS CHAMPION.

MAY MAKE A COMBINE. Coney A Suggestion to Consolidate the Island and Olympic C ubs. New York, July 27. electa?. A scheme was suggested yesterday which, If carried into effect, will prove to be a big boom to pugilism. In this generation of prize fights andglove contests, which have been brought down to a legitimate business standpoint, there aie always moie or less ill feeling and competition between rival clubs. Yesterday afternoon a reporter had occasion to visit Captain Frank Williams of the Olympic Club of New Orleans. The Captain was J list about to go down town when the reporter intercepted him. "It's pretty tough to be nustllng to get on n match these hot days,' said the Southerner. Then he went on to say what trouble he had .experienced In getting on a flght betweon Hou .ritzsimmonsanu some otnergooa man. The conversation flnallvdiltted to Captain Williams' recent visit to Coney Island, where he inspected the big amphitheater of tne coney Island cino. "I wish we h.id such a field down South as you have up here in New York," said he. "You bet we would mnko lots of money. You have got a great deal of territory to draw from, and nothing to mar a good night's sport." The Captain further said that the result of his visit to Coney Island was very satisfactory. It was suggested that it would probably be a good scheme lor both clubs to work to gether beieafter, and be on an even basis. Captain Williams thought tbe idea a capital one, and stated that he would' devote some of his leisure timo while In the metropolis in pushing the scheme. If the plan is really carried out harmony would be affected betweon the Olympic and Coney Island Clnbs.

The second day's meeting of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, held on the lake here to day to decide who are the champions of the United States and Canada in the various classes, was productive of some fine ex hibitions of skill in oarsmanship. The ar rangements were not all as perfect as they might have been, the turning buoys being placed too close and thereby causing fouls in a couple of events, which have to be decided to-morrow. The action of -the Begatta Committee in setting the hour at 10 a. m. for the starting of to-day's races and then at a late hour last night changing it to 3:30 p. M. was severely condemned, as a majority of the oarsmen were anxious to get home to-night, and many did not hesitate to express their opinion that the committee were anxious to make it a three-day meet and suggested that if the 'World's Fair re gatta is to be held here next year a week should be selected when there is no horse racing here, so that the races can be rowed earlier in the day. There tj: No Rf cor I Breaking. The attendance of spectators was very much larger to-day than yesterday, but the condition of wind and water was about the same as yesterday during the majority of. the races, and record breaking was out of the question. "When the officials reached the lake thev found the stake boats needed attention, and this caused the first race to be an hour behind time in starting, so that it was near 8 o'clock when the last race was finished. The first event was the senior singles with Hedley, 'Evan, Bergin, Thompson, Caffrey, Hawkins and Bulger as contest ants. During the night and early morning Hawkins was the favorite, but in the after noon Cafirey took first place. Bergin got the best of the start, but it was only a slight one. all being on even terms to the half, where Caffrey took a slight lead, with Bergin second and Eyan third. Hearing the turn Ryan went to the fore and turned his stake first in S minutes 13 seconds. Byan soon went to the front on the home journey and won, Hedley second, Caffrey third, Bergin fourth. Time, 10.24. Lehaney the Junior Champion. The final of the Junior singles was a close and interesting race between Cady, Lehaney, Benslcy, Coughlin, Seaton, Black ing and Hurley. Cady and Lehaney had a bard fight for the first place, which Lehaney won'in 11:25. At the mile and a quarter Hurley capsized. " The pair oared race, which is the most scientific class of rowing, was a splendid ex hibition on the part of all the crews repre senting the Cena Boat Club, of Philadel phia; Nonpareil, of New York; Atalanta, ot New York, and the Detroit Boat Club, of Michigan. They got away on even terms, but the Nonpareils forged ahead. At the half it was Cena, Nonpareil, Atalanta and Detroit, the latter rowing 40 strokes to the minute. On nearing the turning buoy, the Non pareils steered a little off their co'urse and the Detroits fouled them. The Detroits crossed the line first, Ionas second. The referee afterward disqualified the Detroits. The double scull event was a hot one. The contestants represented "Vespers, of Philadelphia; Yarunas, of Brooklyn: Catlins, of Chicago, and the Manhattans, of New York.'.The Vespers finished first in five minutes, Yarunas second and Catlins third. In the junior four-oared shell race the contestants were the Institute B. C, of Newark; Ariels, of Baltimore; Astorias, of New York. The Institutes had their boats mashed and soon sank. The Astoria boat also swamped. The Ariels finished first, Atalanta second. The referee withheld his decision. The Four-Oared Contest. The senior four-oared event had six start ers, representing the Fairmount Bowing Association, Wyandotte B. C, of Michi gan; Argonaut K. C, Canada; Atalanta, New York; Modoc B. C, St. Louis, aud the Wol verine B. C, Detroit, Mich. It was a hard-fought and pretty race, re sulting in a dead heat between the Modocs and Wyandottes. Time, 4:03. Junior eight-oared shells had two entries. the Dauntless Bowing Club, of New York, and the Everetts, of Boston. Previous to starting the Dauntless crew broke their Tudder and steered by word from their coxs wain. At the mile it became necessary for the starboard side of the Dauntless crew to stop rowing in order to keep on the course, and the Everetts went ahead and won in 9.05. The last and greatest event of the day, the senior eight-oared shell race, had three of the best crews in the country pitted agaiust each other. They were the well-known "Chippies," of the New York A. C, the Manhattan A. C. and the Malta Boat Club, of Philadelphia. At the word all three shot away as though fired irom a cannon, the Manhattans immediately going to the front and holding a lead on the New Yorks until the last quarter, wlien ensued a desperate struggle between them to the finish, the New Yorks crossing the line a little over a half boat's length ahead. ranged by the Coraopolls Lawn Tennis Club for to-day, Friday and Saturday, has been postponed to the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday of August. A number of visiting players will cross rackets on the Coraopolls grounds on Saturday afternoon next. POTOMAC THE WIN5EK. at He) Defeats the Favorite, Loantaka, , Brighton Besvch In a Good Race.
