LOUIS 6 Chicago 1 IFPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I Cincinnati, August 4. The joy of the cranks of Porkopolis is double distilled just now.for not only have the Keds' bitterest foes de parted leaving a lock of Mark Baldwin's hair for sweet re niem berance sake, but an new idol has been dis covered. For the first time this XJr V- year Pittsburg JlriA was compelled to bow before Com iskey's men on Ohio soil. At no stage of the game were these arch ene mies of Cincinnati dangerous. The lead that was taken at the beginning was in creased as the innings rolled on and when the last man was victimized the crowd of 1,109 faithful burst into a cheer ior the new pitcher winded at the depot by Captain Comiskey when the team was fleeing from Boston. Mike Sullivan and Jerry Harring ton made a battery of giants and they worked together as nicely as if they had been paired all their lives. Ble Sullivan Was a 1'nzzle. For five straight innings not a hit had been rnaOe ofl the new man, and the only Pittsburgers who had reached bases, two in number, had been forced out by succeeding batsmen. The stands had enthused over one magnificent catch of Holliday's. Beck ley was the sufferer, and he sent a scorcher hustling through the air toward the bulletin board. The "Bug" turned and ran, and as it was passing over his head he leaped up ward and dragged it down. He had massa cred a sure home run. Sullivan opened up with lots of speed, and really good command. On no less than lour occasions was he in the hole with three balls and no strikes, and he kept putting them over until he landed his men. As the game grew older he slackened up his pace, but of the eight hits charged against him, two were bunts to third and two more pop flies that dropped safe into short lelt field. Baldwin Started in Wild Fashion. Baldwin hit McPhee as a starter and "Welch never budged when an inshoot struck him. Latham bunted safely. Beckley killed a hit for O'-Neil but McPhee scored, and alter "Welch had been caught at home on Holliday's infield tap Latham tallied on Miller's bad throw to spoil Holliday's steal. Sullivan's grounder got away lrotn Bier bauer in the fourth and Le" scored with "Welch on the latter's great push over Smith's head. Genins hit was duplicated by Harrington in the sixth, and Jerry tried to reach second but was caught. Shugart spared McPhee and Genins scored. Welch drove McPhee in by the triple, scoring on a parsed balL Kelly's single, Donovan's force of Bald win, who had been sent down on balls, and Smith's double yielded Pittsburg's first run. There was a batting symposium in the eighth. Sullivan's single, McPhee's home run. "Welch's burning with another inshoot, Latham's single and doubles by O'Keil and Holliday gave the Keds five. Miller and Donovan hit safe and Smith got a base on balls. Sullivan fired in a wild pitch, missing Harrington's return and two runs scored. Beckley sent Smith home bv a triple into OVNeil's territory after Tip niaue a great catch of Shugart's line fly. The score: DEFEAT - .

The Dispatch nine took a game from the Press nine yesterday at Wilkinsburg, the first they have wonslncetliey received their uniforms. Both sides put up a fair game, though the fielding was rather jazged at times. There were several fine hits made, among them J. Jessop's drive over the right field fence, which unkind fate only made a two-bauger; Enscoo's three-base hit to the left field fence; WilliamV two-bagger, and Lennox, who got two fine doubles, alone scoring four of the. runs made.

BiLLT O'BRIEN, first baseman of the defunct In dianapolis club, is dangerously ill with typnoid fever. In Genins Comiskey has a Jewel. With a little coaching he will be the star of the team Louisville. Commercial In a lively game yesterday the St. John Sunday school nine defeated the St. James Sunday school nine by 18 to 14. Pat Powers savs the New Yorks need three pitchers, ana that King Is better than any avail able man he knows. Pfetfer wanted to give Comiskey Stratton for Multane. but Commy said he did not want a pitcher half dead with fever. TnE Clarion team defeated the Marlenvllles by 8 to 7 on Wednesday, being the seventeenth victory for the Clarions ln 19 games played. Jack Lynch, the once famous pitcher, was ln his day the most unreasonable of men on the salary question. He Is now doing a policeman's dnty at about S3 a day. President George Wagner, of the Washing tons, has at last corralled Joe Mnlvey for third base. Joe says he wants to show people be Is king of the position. A WELL-KNOWN baseball writer says that Pitts burg is thejuwplng-off place for the man whose baseball career is ended. No one la surprised at the finale of the Burns matter. The Mansfields and the Tarcntum. of the County League, will play at Mansfield to-morrow. The MantSclds are leaders in the County League race, and are putting up a great game. The G. Miller team defeated a picked nine or players from the Farrells and Hilltops 5 estenlay by 13 to 9. The game was piayed at Bailey Park, and the Millers state they were very b-dly treated. PrrrsBrBG paid Omaha a pretty stiff price ror Joe Kellv's release to avoid trouble with that city. Ajwrtfap Aeuw. "Yes. Omaha received the fabulous sumoffoOforKel's release." says Sandy Griswold. AFrER the late kalsomlnlng at League Park the Gltbe-Democrat mnsed sadly: "ir all the other clubs continue brushing on the whitewash, the Browns will soon be known as the St. Louis Whites." Miller sizes up Burns' recent action as follows: What docs Burns want with another suit? Why. down East he changed clothes three times a day and gave the ladles a treat by standing ln front of the hotel. He has more suits than any ball player 1 know of. and ain't satisfied." Hats off to President Temple, of the Pittsbnrg club. He takes a seat with the owners of, the Philadelphia and Brooklyn clubs. No repudiation of honestly made contracts fur him. So long as his men play good ball, so long will they receive the salaries for which they signed, and if he is compelled to grant a release, there will be no string attached to ll.Mw Tork ItUgram. O. P. CATLOB speaks of the Brooklyn ln Toes- day's game thnsly: "These Important members of the nine were absent: 'Darby' O'Brien was away on a sad mission. 'Big Dan' was lost, strayed or stolen, and 'Willie' Joyce had his game leg ln the shop. In this emergency Captain John made a hat pool of the names of the men at his service and Haddock came out for left field, Tom' Daly for third base and 'Dare' Foutz for first base. 'Tom my' Burns was able to be out by the aid of a re frigerator car on his head and a not water bag on each foot." TRACK RECORDS AND TALK. Klrsch Makes a Now Mile Record at Mon mouth Parte Track. Monmouth Pars: Race Trace, Aug. 4. There was a comparatively small orowd here this afternoon, considerable less than 3,000 people being present when Banquet, at eveus, won the opening race ln easy fashion in 1:58. Despite St Michael's good race with Uncle Jess and Spartan last Tuesday.he was sent to the post for the Camden stakes, a 9 to 5 chance. He won cleverly from the 13 to 1 shot Chicago, ln the Trenton stakes Hapenny and Air Shaft fouled each other all through the last quarter, letting Klrsch 6 to 1, win the stako in a drive. The time, 1:33, makes a new record for a mile over a straight course. Salvator made it in 1:S5 in his celebrated race against time, but Klrsoh's race of this afternoon may be cnronlcled as the existing mile record. Many of the spectators left the track very much in donbt as to the cor rectness of the time, but a strong wind was blowinc down the track, and it greatly as sisted the rauers in the flight of speed. Wnen Kingston was added to the list of starters for the Eatontown stakes, Demnth and Tournament were withdrawn ln Kings ton's favor. With 1 to 6 against him, the brown whiilwind won the stakes in a gal lop, Tenny, after a hard fight, taking second money trom Sir Matthew by a head. Jockey J. J. McCafferty and the Western contingent plunged on Estelle to win the filth event. She did so in a gallop, covering the seven furlongs in 1345. Entre, the even money choice of the talent, took the closing six furlong dash by a length from Julien and Boiler. Five of the six laces were won by favorites or well backed second choices, Klrsch being the 6 to 1 outsider. Summaries: First race, one and one-sixteenth miles Ban quet, even, won easily by a length and a half; Klldeer, 5 to 2. second by eight lengths, whipping; Gloaming. 13 to 5, third. Time. 1:48.

Wet Weather Deals Badly With the Buffalo Grand Circuit itaces. Bufpalo, Aug. 4. Special The Grand Circuit races for to-day have been postponed until to-morrow on account of the bad con dition of the tiack caused by a heavy rain early this morning. Eleven events are still unfinished, including three stakes, and these are to come first, as they must be competed for after the 221 trot, four heats of which were decided yesterday. The $5,000 stake for 227 trotters is on, and then comos that for 2:23 trotters, with the 2:23 pacing stake after. The delay will be a serious loss all around, as many of the horses here will not have a chance to fill their engagements. After Nellie K trotted the second heat of the 2:19 class in 2:21 yesterday, John . Madden bought her lor a reported price of $2,500. She is to go ln at Rochester and Springfield ln her class. A it, Moore, of Philadelphia, has secured the services of George W. Saunders as trainer. Saunders drove the demon, Cling stone, in his races against Edwin Tborne. He was afterwaid in charge of William Rockateller's stable, but went back to the turf last year. Ho will have all of Mr. Moore's flyers bnt Mambrino Maid, and she has gone to John Goldsmith, who took her West from Cleveland.

Some of them have taken occasion to go over the course and have become familiar with the road over which the race is to be run, and it would not be surprising if the riders would finish ln a bunch or any rate very close together. There will be 14 riders, whose names were published in The Dis tatoh last week, and a open invitations have been extended to all wheelmen to wit ness the finish and start at Havesville, the 2:15 train will probably be crowded. It will be a great race. Miscellaneous Sporting Notes. WILLIAM McMAnON. of the West End Gyms, won the one mile race at the Building Trades pic nic Wednesday. ALr Kennedy has written to Jim Corbett sug gesting that he and Myer work together at New Orleans and wear duplicate colors. Fred Plaisted and Henry McDonald, of Ottawa, have arranged to row a match race ln singles, August 20, on the canal at Ottawa, for a purse of f3uo. Constant Reader Sullivan contested against Frank Herald ln the Collsseum. Allegheny, in Sep tember. 1SSS. and the battle only lasted one round. Chief Murphy stopping the encounter. You can't always Judge from appearance. The racer with a tilckle-plated wheel and a giddy rac lng suit may be able to ride his mile ln better than three minutes, though It Is not likely that he can. Emil Koos. of OH City, wires the papers sav ing that he is in no way whatever connected with foot racing as the "loafers Identified with it." He has nothing to do with challenges ln which his name figures. The committee on prizes for a recent bicycle meet received as a contribution from the village sexton an indorsed order. "Good for one grave dug at anv time within one year." The committee declined the gift. The directors of the aquatic department of the Manhattan Athletic Club are not discouraged by the defeat of their pets by the New York A. C. senior eight at Saratoga, hut will enter them in the Middle States regatta, August 13. Some good Judges think that Harding, of the Manhattan A. C, Is the coming man at the 120 vard high hurdles. They exnress the belief that he Is apt to show the way to either his clubmate. Cope land, or to Lewis, the A. C. S. N. man, at the fall championships. The following Is the list from which the Boston team will be selected to play against Philadelphia for the intercity cricket championship next Mon day and Tuesday on the Longwood grounds: George Wright, L. Mansfield, a. Houghton. T. Pettltt. Comhet, Falrburn. Thorpe, Mudle, Dut ton, Muir, L. Houghton, Cracknel!, Chambers. Steve Coombs, of the Boston Athletic Associa tion, has been an active participant in athletic sports for the past three years and during that period has won 45 prizes at sprinting and other events out of 64 times competing. Of the 45 prizes won. 28 arc firsts. 12 are seconds and seven are thirds. Thirty-three hare been won from scratch and the remaining 13 by the aid of handicaps. There Is talk of giving John L. Snlllvan a bene fit at Clermont Avenue Kink, Brooklyn, August 2). Some first-class men mar be selected to spar with the big fellow-perhaps Peter Maher or Choylnskl, at least that's the way the story goes. To a good many people It will seem extremely Imprudent for Sullivan to take any chances of Injuring his hands, especially when there is 345,000 at stake. So the Maher or Choylnskl part of the story Is a bit doubtful. A DISPATCH from London to the Police Gazette yesterday says that a strong attempt was made to get Jem Smith to fight Joe Choynskl for 200 a side at,the Coney Island Athletic Club. Smith was told that he would receive fair play ln America, and Rlchanl K. Fox guaranteed him 11,000 If he was not treated right at either the Coner Island or Olrmplc Club. Nothing, however, would tempt Smith to fight ln this country. He said he would fight ln England or nowhere. It Is probable that the bicycle will figure strongly ln the Presldental campaign. Clubs are already being organized ln rarlous cities to take part ln the parades, representing both parties, and ln cities that are blessed with well paved streets there Is no question that the wheeling division of a torchlight procession will prore a raluable as well as novel feature. The wheels will be bedecked with streamers bearing the likeness of whlcherer party's candidate the club favors, and will also carry Chinese lanterns and other decorations. Jack McAuliffe has written Bob Farrell to this effect! "I don't know of a betterman than you to be in mv corner. Bob. and if my hackers agree to it I will have you there. Of course I will par 7 ou well for your services, as good seconds are mighty scarce. There is, as 3011 know, much bother and disadvantage In having a man in your corner who doesn't know how to handle tou. When I fought Meyers at Nprth Jndson I had Dick Roche, my backer, in mr corner, and though he is one of the best friends I have got, he doesn't know a heap about seconding. " RIVER NEWS AND NOTES.

Captain Hende-son, ln speaking of the subject yesterday, said: "The National Board has done and Is now doing more in the Interests of rlrermen than any other organization. Within a year they have succeeded in having more obnox ious laws repealed than all other bodies put to gether. One of the laws repealed was that requiring a man to serve as a pilot or mate on somu ressel a full year be fore he could hol.la captain's commission. This was necessary no matter how the coinietent a man might be. but through efforts of this board this law was repealed, and now a man can become a captain as soon as he wishes. Another thing that has been done away with was the. hospital fee that everyone on a boat was formerly re quired to pay. This fee was 40 cents a month, and the money collected each year was considerable.

WHAT AILEGHESI COUNTY EECE1TES rSFECIAL TELEGRAM to THE DISPATCH.1 Harrisburg, Aug. 4. The excellent condition of the State Treasury'not only justifies the payment this year of the appro priation of 5,000,000 to the school districts of Pennsylvania, but after this great obliga tion shall have been met the. public ex chequer will have at least 55,000,000 to its credit Of the amount appropriated to the com mon school system,' $3,835,331 10 have been forwarded to 1.780 of the 2,338 districts in the State and the remainder will get their pro rata share as soon after the receipt of the necessary reports at the Department of Public Instruction as the proper warrants can be prepared. For the year ended the first Monday in June, Philadelphia has received her full allotment, amounting to 81,071,790 70, ex clusive of ?3,000 to which the Franklin In stitute is entitled, and ?3,006 allowed for the expenses of teachers' institutes. The appropriation to each school district is based on the number ot taxables iu it. For each taxable ?3 45J are distributed. For the years ended on the first Monday in June, 1890 and 1891, 52,000 annually were appropriated, and each taxable represented 51 33 3-10. The two preceding years the school appropriation was $L500,COO each, and from 1S7J to 137, $17,000,000 annually. The Department of Public Instruction to day forwarded to Philadelphia $571,790 70, the balance due that city for the year ended in June. Next to Philadelphia, Allegheny county is entitled to the largest sharo of the appropriation made by the State. Pitts burg's, allotment is $192.938 63, and Alle gheny's $85,259 04; but neither of these cities has received its money because of tardiness in presenting the necessary papers at the department. For the same reason, Brad dock, Sushore, Chartiers boroush and town ship, Edgewood, Harrison, Leet and Os borne districts have not been paid. All the rest of the 86 districts in the county, which are entitled to $441,345 15, have received their amounts. For Allegheny City the proper certificate has been filed with the school de partment, and it will get its school money as early as possible, probably next week. 1 he increased appropriation to the schools from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 is not likely to re sult in diminishing tuxes in the places to which the monoy has gone and is going, as had been predicted when a larger amount was voted; bnt it will lead to the extension of school terms, the increase of the salaries of teachers, the erection or more school houses and the better maintenance of these institutions, whether old or now. There is great necessity for lengthening the school term in many of the school districts of the State. In 1,200 of these bnt six months are taught annually, and as a result or the in creased appropriation many or the school distiicts will extend the term to seven, eight and nino months. MI50E M'KEESPOBT MATTEES, A Telegraph Pole War Street Car Repair Shops Horse Thieves. McKxesport, Aug. 4. Special. War is being waged by the city against the Western Union Telesraph Company, which is likely to be settled ln court. Some time ago the Councils passed an ordlnanco which pro vided that only octagonal poles be erected within the city limits. This was passed when the street car company asked permis sion to put up poles. The ordinance referred to the car company and no other particular company. To-day the telegraph company attempted to replace the old poles with new ones. The workmen attempted to cut the old ones off and dig new holes, but the property owners rebelled ln amanner which almost culminated ln a fistio enconnter. The Mayor being absent, the Chairman of Council was appealed to, and work was stopped. The McKeesport and Beynoldton Pas senger Railroad will have shops of its own in this city, having put chased entire new machinery in Pittsburg. The building will be erected once. A gang of horse thieves have Been oper ating ln this city for some time, and, it seems, cannot be apprehended. Last even ing the stable of John Martin, of Beynold ton, was broken open and a valuable horse stolen. BUSINESS MEN BUNKOED By a Sharper Who Pretended to Represent a Debt Collecting Agency.

Nearlv 20 firms took stock in the fel low's story and paid him the money. He never filed the bond; his company could not be found, and the business men. becoming nusDlcious, bad Him arrested. There were six suits asaiust him, all of which were set tied. He then went to Ohio, as Sharon par ties were after him. THE BEADD0CK BUDGET. A. Quarrel Between Borough Officers A.

The BIJou Theater, brighter and more com fortable than ever, was opened for the sea son last night, and an immense audience filled every seat and most of the standing room. Lew Dockstader's minstrels were in possession of the stage, and they could hardly have asked lor a nicer match than the weather and the greeting both were warm. If numbers and enthusiasm go for anything, Pittsburg showed last night that she wants summer theatricals. The Dock stader programme is new and entertaining enongh ln the main. Lew Dockstader, as usual, is the keystone ln the arch, and his humor is Just as dry and as infectious as ever. His songs do not include anything very startling in the way of wit, or catchi ness, but a good deal ot fun of one sort or another. His broad caricature ot the Presi dent and Mr. Cleveland is very lanzhable of conrse, although the question of whether such things are in good taste or even decency mislit be asked. In any other country but this Mr. Dockstador would only burlesque the ruler of the land once Just think of snch a performance in Germany whew! But it must not be understood for a moment that Mr. Dockstader is not funny in overy thing he does. He is beyond all question one of the brightest comedians extant. The songs of J. C. Harrington, the old Irishman's ballad German yodel song and plantation darky ditty, were excellent; the versatility of this actor is quite remarkable. He is a graceful dancer also. William Rowe's pedestal clog dance is a wonderful performance in its way an awfully warm way last night one would think. There is a weakness iu the sentimental end or the pro gramme. Nothing so effective as last sea son's "Picture Turned to the Wall," was trotted out, and while Harry Leighton sang "My Mother's Goodnight Kiss" prettily enough, aud J. M. Woods rendered "Bring Back the Old Smile" with delicate expres sion and much sweetness, it cannot be said that either song appeals to the heart, as some minstrel songs have done. It is curi ous, indeed, how narrow is the channel of melody and matter with popular song writers nowadays. For topical songs old airs are still preierred. In the second part the musical fooling of Faike and Lemons was good, and Blocksom and Burns' mock gymnastic feats were sim ply side splitting. Indeed, the audience was in roars all evenins", and the indorse ment of Dockstader' efforts could haidly have been heartier. If any objeotionis seri ously to be made to details, the introduc tion of an objectionable verse Into one of Mr. Dockstader's songs merits it. Surely It doesn't pay to offend against propriety even in tun. The new drop curtain and decorations of the BIJou Theater, which have already been described here, including the new pro gramme, which is neat ana tasteful, were greatly admired. PIVE TJNPOBTTJNATES.
