tSPECl AL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Cincinnati, AUG. S. One of the mys
teries of this age is the presistcncy with
which the Pitts-
burg teams, past
and present, drag
along so far behind
the band wagon. It
may be that they
keep their surplus
energy well corked
until they reach
tins point on base
ball's map. How
there are players
who the moment
ey strike Cin.
cinnaii breathe ex
ecration upon the
Ohio river water.
The rare little ani
mals it is popularly supposed to conceal
seem to send ginger coursing through the
veins of the Smoky City aggregation. Once
more they met the Cincinnati and for the
seventh time this year the lieds were com
pelled to surrender. They fought well in
the first three innings, and in all the others
teemed to be engaged in an effort to break
the record in rapid retirements.
Downed Them Wry Rapidly.
During five innings not a Bed reached
first, and there were only two occasions
whsn Pittsburg failed to keep Captain Com-
iskev's young men guessing. To the fiery-
headed twirler who officiated for Pittsburg
much of the credit for the Cincinnatis' down
is due. He made his first record against the
Iteds down in Texas, and he seemed imbued
with that old '88 spirit, and when he needed
all his wits he did not weaken. He received
valuable aid in the field. Little Shugart was
in the thick of the fight, and Beckley and
Farrell made plays that were life-savers. At
the bat Kelly was the man who rapped in
the runs that "were needed to win.
"Why. he handles himself like an old
Leaguer!" was Arlie Latham's exclamation
when lie first came to the bat.
Kelly Kept the Fielders Bnsy.
A moment later "Welch was diving after a
sharp line fly, and as he has not mastered
the art of making catches while on his
head, the "Western recruit was given a hit.
Only one Red tried to steal second on Mil
ler, and that was "Welch atter his hit in the
first inning. He was easily killed, and
then Latham got a rap to center, coaxed a
bad throw out of Kelly and reached second.
O'Neill rapped him home by a warm one to
right. Donovan's daring base rnnning
enabled him to tie the score. He hit safe
and ran on to third on Smith's sjow infield
hit which Comiskv sent over to Latham in
time to catch him, but the ball got away and
Donovan tallied. Miller's clean rap to left
lor three bags and Donovan's single earned
the second. Bierbauer got on second on a
hit and Farrell's sacrifice, and was sent in
by Kelly in the fourth. Ehretgave his only
gift to McPhee in the sixth, and "Welch hit
safe.
And the Score Was Tied.
Latham advanced them both and again
O'Neill was found true and after his nit
the score was even, Holliday's grounder
bounded away from Farrell and was good
lor two haes, but Vaughn was unable to
gauge Ehret's curves. O'Xeill was caught
on his grounder to Bierbauer, and when he
essaved to steal second Holliday was caugLt
oil third and run down. The failure to get
more runs out of such an opening seemed to
unnerve Dwyer and he gave Shugart a base
Beckley lorced him out but ran to third on
Bierbauer's hit. Another present to Farrell
filled the bases. Neither Welch nor Holli
day started for Kelly's easy fly and it drop
ped safe, two runs scoring. That was all
although O'Neill and Comiskey hit safely
in the ninth. The game ended with a great
top by Farrell of a grounder ofl'Genins,
bat. He stopped on third and the l,12u
filed salely out. The score:

The Three A't Meet Another Highlands and
Frfll to Hit the Bull.
Another good game was played yesterday
at Three A Park between the Three A's and
the Boston A. A. team. There were about
600 people present. Although six errors are
credited to the local players they played
very well in the field. The visitors put up a
very good same all round.
McCandless Ditched three innings for the
locals, and he was touched up for five hits,
including two doubles and a throe-bagger.
He was. then relieved by Robertson, who
pitched in very good form.
A Highlands pltcbed for the visitors, and
the home players could do nothing with
him. Weak hitting was the great deficiency
of the home team.
In the first inning the visitors made three
runs on singles by Mason and Cook; Fan-en's
twe-bajrger, n wild throw by McCandless and
a long fly by Dickinson. In the sixth Inning
singles by Steam, Dickinson and Soule
.scored another rnn, and the last run was
made on Anderson's fumble of Stearns'
erounder, a stolen base and wild throws by
Schoyer and Anderson, The score:

The Shadyslde team played their first game In

Philadelphia club offered him a big salary.

CAPTAIN WILLIAMS' 0PIHI0B,
Ho Thinks Sullivan Will Have Quito a Task
to Defeat Corbett.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. "3. Captain Will
iams, the agent for the Olympic Club of
New Orleans, passed through the city to
night on his way to the South. He visited
both Sullivan and Corbett in their training
quarters and predicts that Sullivan will
have a desperate battle with Corbett.
"A great many or Sullivan's admirers
have been claiming that Corbett couldn't
punch, a hole in a pound of butter. Well,
I'll promise you they will be mightily de
ceived, I have seen Corbett at work, and if
he can hit John L. as hard as he hammers
the punching bag the big lellow will know
that he has been hurt when he gets through
with him. Ye. Corbett is confident of win
ning. Of course he banks on solenco and
superior agility. Sullivan is tiaining faith
fully. He seems to appreciate that he has a
big contract on hand and is preparing him
self for a long battle. He looks quite as fat
now as when he entered the ring at Rich
burg to battle with Kilrain for the world's
championship. We are planning for n big
week at New Orleans. Aside from the Sulll-van-Corbett
fight. Myer and McAuliffe will
do battle lor the lightweight championship
nnd Fitzsimmons will don the gloves with
O'Brien from England. Then there will be
the Dlxon-Skelly go. They say the Brooklyn
lad is a hsndv lellow with the mitts and
will give the colored boy a lovely argument.
There will bo at least 2,000 people in New
Orleans trom Northern cities to witness the
big flgnt,"
B0B0DY TO FIGHT PITZ.
The Olympic Clnb Cannot Secnre a Good
Man to Face the Champion.
New Orleans, August 8, Special Cap
tain Williams, of the Olympic Club, when
asked of the possibilities of getting a match
for Fitzsimmons said that hardly any good
man could be induced f fight the lanky
Australian. Costetto is now matched with
Alex. Gregglns, and that spoils the chances
of a fight between Costello and Fitzsim
mons. What will be done in regard to the
matter at present is not known. The club
will doubtless content itself with a bid for a
match between Fltzsimmonsandtliewinner
of the Hall-1'ritchard contest, the affair to
take place around Mardl Gras.
Bob Fitzsimmons was over in the city to
day and seemed very sore over his failure to
secure a match, as he says he might have
continued his engagement eight or ten
weeks longer had he not stopped it to begin
training. It is probable that he will pack

one. Twojroung trotters entered the 2:30
list in the first two heats of the 2:29 class
and in the three succeeding heats three
other horses reduced their records, the race
then standing in the unusual condition of
having five different heat winners. Tbe
pacing match, substituted for the advertised
match between Maicot and Johnson, was a
poor affair for a grand circuit meeting.
The Central New York stallloa, Wilkes
Golddust, rushed to the front and outstep
ping the favorite,Kose Filkins, at the finish
landed the Hist heat in 2:26'.i. five seconds
below his Blngbamton mark and his fit at
mile below 2:30. The heat winner was a poor
third in the next, beaten by Nellie It., a
young trotter' fiotn Philadelphia.
Again the heat went to a difforont stable,
Ed Geers getting to the front with Chimes
Boy in 2:25. Geers made no drive for the
next heat, and. Turner brought up his mare
and got the beat by half a length. Wilkes
Golddust fell lame and was drawn. Clark,
who was close up with Nellie it, had to win
the sixth beat. At evens against the field.
Turner got the next heat, Lamont breaking
at the distance.
Then the Judges discovered that Turner
was intended to win, with one or two help
ers. One of these was S. B. Clark. He was
taken out from behind Nellie K and W. J.
Andrew substituted. But ltose Filkins not
the eighth and deciding heat. Bert Sheldon
was favorite in the 2:21 trot. In which he
won two heats, and Excellence got the third

The finish for -the "fourth race, the $1,000

Willie L. and Tea Tray. Willie L. had just
succeeded in shakl-ig off Roque.ort at the

tearing down the stretch like a wild horse.
The finish was too close, however, and
tVlllie L. won by a nose. He was 7 to 6,
while Tea Tray was made post favorite nt 7
to 5. Lakeland again furnished the favorite
in Lord Dalmeny, played down from 6 to 1 to
7 to 10. He should have won, but Walker

THE MAN WITHOUT A STOMACH
May exist as a museum freak, but most of
us recognize the stomach as necessary to
llfq and comfort. Most of us experience a
little trouble from this source occasionally,
wrong action of tho stomach causing dys
pepsia, etc., and olten the trouble extends.
Involving tho liver and bowels, whence we
find biliousness and constipation. We find
also that the bowels and kidneys (nature's
sewage system) become clogged with effete
matter, trom which comes impnre blood,
bolls, blotches, pimples, scrofula, scrofulous
swellings and cancerous complaints. The
Burdock Blood Bitters taken at the begin
ning, or at any later stage, arrests the
trouble, restores tbe disordered organ to
activity, thereby removing every vestige of
disease. B. B. B. is an absolutely pure ex
tract of roots and herbs, which can not
injure even the most delicate constitution,
and as a cure for dyspepsia, biliousness,
constipation, bad blood, etc., succeeds in 99
cases out of 100. aul-TTSsa
