If anybody thinks that our Bluggers can
not play great ball; indeed, put up an out
and out first-class
article, he or she
who so thinks did
not see yesterday's
gam eat Exposition
Park. The local
heroes met the
Cleveland repre
sentatives, those
fellows who lead
the League, and
who have strong
pennant aspira
tions, and the vis
itors were beaten.
They were beaten
simply because
thevcouldn'tmake
a better of it, and they were outplayed in
all respects. The visitors are proverbial
for making excuses for defeat', but thev
had no excuse whatever for their defeat of
yesterday except that very palpable one of
not playing good enough.
There IVn Some Lively Kicking.
When the fortunes of the day were going
against the fellows from the Forest City
they began to kick wonderfully and at one
time Umpire Snyder threatened to fine a
whole benchful of them. They gave indi
cations of being bad losers. The umpire
was a little off at times, but his bad deci
sions were all against the home players and
he made one very questionable decision in
declaring Bierbauer out at third base in the
eighth inning. Miller made a remark
about the decision and was promptly fined
$10. The decision was a bad one to say the
least, but any umpire is liable to make a
mistake.
lper, the new pitcher, made his appear
ance for the home team, and the 1,800 peo
ple present were all very glad to see him
win his first game here. He deserved to
win because he pitched very well, indeed.
In tight places he was very effective. But
never a pitcher was better supported all
round than Esper was. Elmer Smith
crowned himself with glory out in left field
and the infield played brilliantly. There
was never anythinglike an error except in
the ninth inning, when Shugart made a bad
throw to first in trying to effect a double
plav. But Beckley with his lone srm
stopped the ball and'no harm was done.
The Sluggers Did Somi Slagging.
And the home players were in good hit
ting humor. John Clarkson faced them and
John was touched up quite lively. This
had really an encouraging effect on Eiper
and the team generally. Beckley and Far
rell each made a home run. That ot Beck
let s was probably a little shaky, but the
ball took such a bad bound when near to
McAleer that it wouldn't be fair to give
the fielder an error for allowing it to pass
him. Farrell's crack was a clean one and
was just as nice a hemer as anybody could
wish for. Kelly batted in very hard luck,
as he hit the ball hard everv time, but it
al aj s got into a fielder's hands. Altogether
the visitors were thoroughly outplayed,
although thev put a tolerably good game.
Manager Bnckenbergersentthe visitors to
the bat first and this gave the home players
the best of the contest all through. The
locals were the first to score, and they did
so in the second half of the second inning.
Srugart led off with a hit, the ball bound
ing over Virtue's head. Bierbaur flew out
to Childs and Farrell sent a hot Eingle to
left. Shugart reached third on the hit, but
Farrell should have been out at second if
Childs hadn't dropped the hall. Esper
knocked an infield hit to Clarkson, who
threw wild to first and Shugart scored the
run; being an earned one, as Esper made a
sacrifice hit. Farrell also tried to score,
but was thrown out at the plate by Virtue.
V here the Visitors Scored One.
In the third inning Childs led off and got
his base nn balls. Burkett's sacrifice sent
him to second and he scored on Davis' sin
gle to left.
In the second half, after Donovan was
out, Smith rapped out a single to left, and
theu Kelly knocked out a fly, which O'Con
nor caught. Beckley next appeared at the
plate, and he got bis eagle ere on a good
one, banging it on a straight line to middle
field. It bounded past McAleer, and as a
result Jake and Smith both crossed the
plate.
The sixth inning came and it was
certainly an exciting one. Davis led oS
and got his base on balls, McKean made a
cafe bunt and a passed ball sent Davis to
third and JIcKean to second, Virtue's
sacrifice hit scored Davis and then McAIeer
flew out to Smith, O'Connor made a fine
single to left scoring McKcanandtieingtbe
score. This was pleasing to a few Cleveland
roosters, but their pleasure was short lived.
In the second half of the inning Beckley
got his base on balls and Shugart made a
safe bunt. Bierbauer's hit to Clarkson,
forced Beckley out at third and theu
Charley Farrell loomed up and materiallv
changed the complexion of things. The
Duke of Marlboro thumped the ball square
on the nose, whacking it out between Mc
AIeer and O'Connor. The ball went clear
to the right center fence and Shugart,
Bierbauer and Farrell scored on the hit.
Tnis was extremely refreshing to the home
enthusiasts. The hit won the game as not
another run was made on either side. The

was being pounded in all directions. In the
sixth matters were reversed, Anson's boys
going to the front, two bases on balls, Co
mlskey's error, four singles and Hutchison's
home rnn hit doing the business. The field
ing on both sides was very loose, and,
strange to say. the same players charged
w lth errors redeemed themselves by doing
most of the batting. Weather very hot.

A Great Game.
The Dispatch and'Postnines, or the News
paper league, played a postponed game at
Wilklnsburg yesterday and the latter won.
Both teams played with a vim, it being the
first game between these teams. The Dls
rjatcli nine hada new pitcher, Stevens, who
plajedan excellent game, having eight as
sists to his credit. In the last inning the
game was at its exciting point, two men
out, the bases full. Mannas made a lilt to
right field, which Boyer caught, winning
the game lor the Post. To Depew belongs
the credit or an excellent throw from deep
lert field to the home plate. The errors
made by the Dispatch were costly, thev
losing the game. Both teams were uni
formed, tho only clubs having uniforms In
the Xowpapor .eagne. Weather permitting,
the Dispatch will cross hats with the Leader
nine at 4 p. v. to-day at the same Dlaoe. The
score resulted as follows:
Dispatch 1 0 0 0 0 23

Mnlvey Has Disappeared.
WAsnixaTOS, Aug. 8. Special Mnlvey
deserted the Washington Club early last
week and returned to Philadelphia. He re
ported In Brooklyn Monday, and practiced
before tho game. Next day he failed to show
up, and since then nothing has been beard
from him. Whether his action was insti
gated by fear he could not play good ball or
a hankering after the excitement of the
Gloucester race track has not transpired.
This explains the failure of Mulvey to ap-
ear in nnv games during the week, and if
is worked the club for advance money ho
has probably been bncklnj; against the
Gloucester races ever since.

How to Tell Yonr Birthday From the
Hamilton Building Fire.
The great fire which nearly destroyed
the Hamilton building on Fifth avenue
occured Friday, Auzust 12, 1887.
Tne anniversary of the "Great Hamil
ton building fire" (as It was heralded all
over the world) falls on the same day of
the week this year, 1802.
Now our rule is very simple, bnt by it
you can tell with absolnte 'certainty the
very day of the week on which you were
bornr
Listen, Please.
To all who send us the correct explana
tion we will give a souvenir book or
month organ.
Tun IIule
To illustrate. If yon bought a Decker
Bros, piano on August IS, 35 yean ago,
we can tell you the very day or the week
this new found treasure came into yonr
home. Or If a Knabo piano brought
some of its sunny South atmosphere Into
your bouse on a bleak 2ith of December
40 years ago. Or a bright, winsome
Fischer piano bad spread good cheer and
gladness over yonr home circle, on some
cr sp NovemDer day, SI years ago. Or if
a soulful, celestial-voiced Estey organ
won you into a spirit of praise away
back among the "forties," we can tell
to a certainty the day of the week when
the new Joy sprang into being.
Tour Choice,
But if you can't tell, come to see us, and
we will make it plain and simple as the
"Columbus egg" legend, and will also ex
change yonr old piano for a new one, or
otherwise accommodate you with a se
lection from the most elegant assortment
or pianos and organs of every conceiva

Champion Contest.
KE8ULTS AT BRIGHTON BEACH TRACK
SPECIAL TZLIOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Nbw York, Aug. 8. While the racing
at Monmouth Park has been ot the highest
class lor the month past. It is probable
that the largest crowd of the season will
turn out to-morrow to see the cracks try
conclusions in the Junior Champion and
Champion Stakes, and that the sport fur
nished on that occasion will be of the most
brilliant character.
Secretary Crickmore has gone to a great
deal of trouble to furnish the pnblic with a
list of the probable starters and their riders,
so that the public w ill not have to wait
until to-morrow morning to learn whether
their favorite is in condition to battle for
the 25,000 prize. Garrison is announced
as the rider of Sir "Walter, and nobody
would be happier than Mr. Crickmore if
the clever Snapper could vault into the
saddle on the game little colt to-morrow,
but it w ill be a long time before Garrison
will ride again. On Saturday night and
Sunday morning the young man was at
death's door at his hotel in Lone Branch,
but yesterday evening word came to the
Sun that he was improving, and that if a
fever did not set in he would be able to sit
up in a week or so. Dr. Bourch, the at
tending physician, says, however, that it
will be a long time belore Garrison will be
able to ride again.
The following is the list of probable start
ers for the Junior Champion:

Onpublic form the race will lie between
Sir Walter, Lady Violet, Dr. Rice and
Lovelace, and the bnlk of the public money
will go on this quartet. The writer can re
call the victory of no filly for the Junior
Champion, Los Angeles running second in
Kinghsh's year, but Lady Violet has a great
chance to beat the colts if the track is in
first-class condition. She has more speed
than any of the others. N Sir Walter is as
true as steel, and Lovelace has shown ex
treme gameness in all of his races. Dr.
Bice's lorte is speed.
This is the list of the eligible candidates
for the Champion stake:

Garfield Park Victorious.
Chicago, Aug. a The Garfield Park Club
came out Tlctorions this morning, when
Jndgo Eettelle decided the habeas oorpus
case brought In behalf of -E. A. Fisher and
F. A. MoAvoy, both bookmakers who were
arrested at the race track for selling pools.
In substance the court holds that section
127 of the criminal code was not intended to
prohibit betting upon horse races by the
buying and selling of pools. It was not
gambling to sell pools upon horse races
within the meaning of tne criminal code of
Maryland, and the gambling statute of that
State was similar to that in Illinois.

C0BBETT AND STJXLIVAK.
The Bis Pugilists Both Working Bard and
Their Friends Confident.
New York, Aug. 8. John L. Sullivan is
getting rid of his superflous flesh rapidly.
He was weighed after his eight-mile walk
yesterday and tipped the beam at 211
pounds, and was feeling remarkably well.
He welzhed 214 pounds when he started
out on the walk. It looks now as if he will
have little trouble In getting down to 205
pounds, before be leaves for New Orleans.
Over 500 people visited the champion and
looked hfra over carerully. Among them
was a delegation from the Manhattan
Athletic Clnb. On behalf of the Cherry Dia
mond organization Eugene Van Scuaack
presented Sullivan with a gold stop watch
in recognition of his services as referee at
the club's recent boxing tourney.
Pugilist Jim Corbett. who is in training at
Loch Arbour, N. J., for his fight with John
L. Sullivan, has fonnd It necessary to em
ploy still one more trainer. Jim Daly, who
has been Corbett's sparring partner, has
found that the big Callfornian was getting
too much for him alone and as Corbett must
be worked very bard from now until the
fight, John McVay, of Philadelphia, is now
present to assist him. McVay is a perfect
giant of 235 pounds, and has no mean reputa
tion as a wrestler and fighter. McVay will
have a bard set to with Corbett about four
times a week, and Jim Daly the other three.
Corbett went through his regular routine of
training yesterday hand ball with Daly as
his partner against Larry Ford and John
Biogan in the morning, which was followed
by his hard lun to Long Branch and return.
Then he went at the punching bag in fero
cious manner and kept hammering It for an
hour. In the afternoon he again attacked
the bag for an hour, more.
TJPPEB TEN FBIZE FIGHT.
Shea, of the Harvard Football Team,
Knocked Out by Mr. Smith.
Saratoga, Aug. 8. A prize fight in the
upper ten circles took place on the fair
grounds at Ballston Spa at U-30 this morn
ing. The principals were Daniel W. Shea,.
of Boston, a Harvard College student and a
member of tbe Harvard crew and football
team, and Sidney Smith, of Ballston, the son
ot a wealthy and prominent family. The
men are both fine boxers, and the match
was the result or Jealousy. The party lert
Saratoga in two Tailvbo coaches at 10
o'clock and drove to Ballston. Billy Ed
wards was referee and Jimmy Larkln, of
Now York, seconded Shea.
Tho fight was a hatd one and for blood.
Smith knocked out Shea in tbe second
round. Shea was badly punished, am? a dis
pute as to the time of the second round
nearly pi eclpltated a general fight among
the two dozen spectators, friends of the
fighter". Smith weighed 153 pounds and
Shea 178. The time or the first round was
two mlnntes, second round one minute and
54 seconds. The fight was under London
ring rules.
Zimmerman Breaks Canadian Becords.
HAMiLTOif, Ost., Aug. 8. The best
field of racers that ever lined up before a
grand stand in Canada were piesent at the
annual race meet of the Hamilton Bicycle
Club to-day. The weather was clear, and,
as it was Hamilton's civic holiday, there
was a very laige attendance. Tbe prizes
given were the most magnificent lot ever
presented by any bicycle club in Canada.
Among tho contestants were: Zimmer
man, tho world beater; Hyslop, Canada's
half-mile champion; Wells, the one-mllo and
five-mile champion, and Carman, the three
mile champion, and the spectators saw some
records broken. Tbe Canadian half-mile
lecord of 1:134 5. held by W. Hyslop, was
lowered to 1:12 2-5 by A. A. Zimmerman, of
New York, and the same rider succeeded in
lowering tbe Canadian quarter-mile record
or :39 1-5, held by U. M. Wells, down to 36
seconds.
Eager for a Fight.
New Yorx, Aug. 8. A London cable to a
morning paper says that "Parson" Davles,
on behalf of Cboynskl, says that he will
match his roan to fight eight three-mlnnte
rounds with Jim Daly, Corbett's trainer,
who has recently offered to fight Fitzslm
mons on Septembers, tbe date Intended for
Fltzsimmons' contest with O'Brien. Davies
further savs: "ir the Olympic Club will
offer a reasonable pur so Cnovnski will sail
at once for New Orleans, and I will not ask
for expense money for blm. The reason
that I stipulate eight rounds is that there is
not time for ChoynsKi to train for a finish
contest on that date. If Daly will make this
match we will sail for America on the City
of Rome August 25. Chi ynskl is in good
health, and a man of his habits can easily
train sufficiently on tbe steamer and shore
before September 5 to make a fight worth
seeing w 1th any man of his weight."
Campbell Is Coming Home.
Loin), Aug. 8. The Pall Mall Gazette says
to-day that O. S. Campbell, the American
tennis player, has returned to the United
States to defend at tho New port tournament
his title of chtmplon. Commenting upon
his performances in this country the Gazette
says there is no doubt that he possesses con
siderable ability as a lawn tennis player,
but he did not Justify the predictions or the
American press. He did not defeat a single
English or Irish player of the first rank.
Will Bun Bert Hesser.
Joseph Prlddy called at this office last
evening and left the following challenge:
"Hearing that Bert Hesser is eager to run
me a foot race or 220 yards, lam quite will
ing to accommodate him. I will meet lilm
at The Dispatch office next Wednesday
evening at 8 o'clock prepared to mako.a
match to rnn the distance named for $250 or
more a side."
Miscellaneous Sporting Notes.
The Grand Circuit trotters will be at Rochester
to-diy.
Great national interest is centered In the races
at Monmouth Park to-day.
Excitement In the coming battle between Sulll
vau and Corbett Is already beginning to develop.
Amateurs must be very careful nowaaays and
keep well within their rules or suspension or expul
sion will be their lot.

MISS AXMEN MAT BE CHOSEN
Instead of Mrs. Bale, to Baptize the New
Harbor Defense Bans.
New York, Aug. a ISptetaL The
wife of Senator Eugene Hale may -not be
permitted to baptize with a bottle of cham
pagne the new harbor defense Bam, when
she is launched. The ancient tradition of
allowing only a maiden to commit a ship to
the keeping of Neptune probably will not
be departed from. Opposition to the inno
vation has already been brought to tbe at
tention of the Navy Department, and it is
said that Acting Secretary Soley, who was
a naval officer, will probably settle the
question in a few days by approving of the
reqnest made by many officers that Miss
Ammen, the daughter of Bear Admiral
Daniel Ammen, designer of the Bam", be se
lected to name tbe vessel in place of Mrs.
Hale.
Hiss Ammen is at present the gnest ot
Medical Director Clebourne, at the Naval
Hospital, Chelsea. The Admiral and his
wile are at present at their home at Am
mendale, Maryland. Some may think it is
not a matter of -much importance as to
whether a maid ora matron shall be selected
to perform the ceremony or baptism, but it
is evident that some men and many women
are personally interested in it, and that the
sailors themselves are very superstitious
about all innovations in the naval line.

Fonr Indians Off Their Base.
Washington, Aug. 8. A delegation of
four Pottawatomie Indians from "Wisconsin
called at the Indian Bureau to-day. Al
though these Indians have been self-supporting
since 1833, they now ask the Gov
ernment to contribute to their support.
They seem to be under the impression that
the Government owes ;them a large amount
of money, and their mission here is to se
cure its payment and make arrangements
for their future subsistence at Government
expense. It is stated at the Indian Bureau
that the Government owes nothing to these
Indians, and, of course, cannot accede to
their demands.

THE MAN WITHOOT A STOMACH
May exist as a museum freak, but most of
us recognize the stomach as necessary to
life and comfort. Most of us experience a
little trouble from this source occasionally,
wrong action of tho stomach causing dys
pepsia, etc., nnd oiten the trouble extends,
involving the liver and bowels, whence we
find biliousness and constipation. We find
al'o that the Dowels and kidneys (nature's
sewage system) become clogged with effete
matter, trnm which comes impure blood,
bolls, blotches, pimples, scrofula, scrofulous
swellings and cancerous complaints. The
Burdock Blood Bitters taken at the begin
ning, or at any later staae, arrests tho
trouble, restores tbe disordered organ to
activity, thereby removing every vestige of
disease. B. B. B. is an absolutely pure ex
