THEY'RE STILL WINNING.
Oar Staggers Keep Up Their Gait and
Down the Lively Reds.
Those Bed Anarchists from Cincinnati
make lots of fun on the ball field and the
cranks who missed
the performance
yesterday after
noon certainly
missed something
that would have
tickled them ex
ceedingly. Be it
known that the
Beds are scrappers
and scrappers of
the bona fide Bed
order. They not
only kick up a
shindy at all times
lor their rights,
but now and again
thev fill the air
withwarwhoop howls and dire threats lor
part of the rights of other people. There
are no flies on the Beds In this respect and
they let the crowd of 1,100 know this yes
terday. They were outplayed by our slug
gers, but most assuredly the local heroes
cannot outkick them even if they had a
desire to do so.
Started Ont in Pleasant Style.
The contest started off pleasant and en
joyable enough, but before it was ended
there was lots of trouble between the wild
eved visitors and Umpire McQuaide. As a
result Latham was fined 525 and put out of
the game and nearly ordered off the
grounds. The game abounded in close de
cisions, and because the umpire gave them
in favor of the home players a lew times
the kicking degenerated into something
like blackcuardism. On one occasion,
when the umpire declared Comiskey out at
first in the tourtn inning tne decision may
have been wrong, but the decision over
which Latham kicked so much and acted so
nngentlemanly was just as fair a decision as
has ever been made on the local grounds.
Bierbauer threw Latham out at first in the
sixth inning beyond any possible doubt
whatever. The truth is, everybody won
dered why Latham was making any objec
tion, but he set himself to work and abused
the umpire fearfully. He gave McQuaide
to understand that he, McQuaide, was a
disgrace. And Arlie talked so as the
crowd could hear him, placing the umpire
in a very humiliating position.
Latham Had to Retire.
McQuaide could not possibly do other
than retire Latham from the game and it is
probably a pity that a higher penalty can
not be imposed on players who act so dis
gracefully. Latham is certainly the most
entertaining lellow that ever stepped ou
the diamond, but when he descends into
abuse he must be called to account the same
as anybody else. Even if McQuaide's de
cision had been a questionable one Latham's
language should not lor a moment be toler
ated. After the game Comiskey gave Mr. Mc
Quaide an awtul calling down. They had
it hot and heavy.
But the Beds are always worth seeing,
and despite the fact of the unpleasantness
yesterday those who saw the game enjoyed
it. The "visitors were beaten fairly, and the
changes necessitated bv Latham's retire
ment did not effect the chances of the visit
ors. "When Latham retired Vaughn went
to third, Holliday to left and Bhines to
right
Terry Was the Stumbling Block.
The great difficulty which the Beds had
to encounter was Mr. Terry's pitching. He
was in rare form and struck eight men out;
indeed, his opponents should have been
shut out without a run had not Miller made
a bad throw, which allowed a run to score.
But the general work of the home players
was very good, and they played a winning
game.
Dwjer pitched tolerably welL His de
livery was hit hard, but he managed to
keep" the hits very well scattered, and
about half of the hits made were made to no
purpose. His support was not of the bestj
by any means.
The visitors were again sent to bat first,
and after they were blanked the home rep
resentatives made a run. Miller and Dono
van went out in order, and then Smith
planted a single into right field. Kelly
knocked the ball in the direction of the
pitcher, and Dwyer reached for it, but
switched it into right field. Then Holliday
fumbled it, and Smith in the meantime got
home.
Slack's Nice Little Bunt Hit.
In the second inning Mack reached first
on a bunt hit and got to second on a wild
throw by Dwyer. Bierbauer's sacrifice sent
Mack to third and Terry's hit scored him.
Miller followed on with a single, but Dono
tan knocked a fly to Vaughn, retiring the
side.
In the fourth inning the Beds tallied.
McPhee led off with a single to middle and
"Welch got his base on balls. Latham, after
causing lots of fun, struck out, and Holli
day's fly was caught by Kelly. Vaughn
knocked a grounder to Miller and the latter
tijrew ild to second and McPhee scored.
In the second half of the seventh inning
Parrell led off with a single to center and
pot to second on Terry's sacrifice. Miller's
single to left scored Farrell, and Donovan
rapped a lively grounder to Comiskey. The
latter easily put out Donovan, and in trying
to double up Miller at second threw wild.
Miller proceeded to third, and Holliday
threw very wild to that bag, allowing Mil
ler to continue his journey home in safety.

Hatching a Little Scheme.
The campaign of 1893 may be fnll of sur
prises and while In Chicago, James A. Hart,
John T. Brush and Frank Bancroft had an
informal little talk on a projected innova
tion next year. For years the League liavo
commenced their championship season too
early and some of the April gamoi aro
played in pneumonia breeding weather. Al
though baseball hungry, many cranks are
impelled by fear of the consequence to stay
away from the parks and thus it Is that the
contests where good weather would mean
velvet areplayed beloro only the shivering,
32 fans. The contests now run for seven
months. It Is proposed to cut them Uow'n
to six months next season and confine
championship contests between May 1 and
Octfjber 1. and play ont a 130 game schedule.
There will be a good deal of quiet mission
ary work for that idea. Last April was a
1 rightful one for the national game, and
there were more postponements than had
ever before taken place. Timet-Slar.
Unlontown, S John.town, L,
UKiOKTOWTr, Pa., Aug. 1L The home team
jumped-onto their hoodoos, the Johnstown
Athletics, to-day, 'in Mountain View 'Park,
and defeated them by a score of 2 to 1. The
visitors were outplayed at every -ooint, and
especially In the battery work. Altman did
the pitching for the home team, and was so
effective that tho visitors could do nothing
with his delivery. After the first inning the
visitors succeeded in getting only one man
as far as first base, and he died there on a
double by Beall. The score was kept down
by hrillian; fielding on both sides and -A.lt-man'd
fine pitching.

Shooting Matches and Athletic Events for
the Braddock People.
Braddock, Aug. 11. Special.' Such a lone
and varied list of sporting events, liitbt and
heavy, has not been given In this v icinlty
for some time, as has been arranged for the
big reunion exenrsion picnic of Braddock
and Monongahela Councils, of Braddock,
and General J. K. Moorhead Council, Jr. O
U. A. 3L, of Port Ferry, at Aliquippa Grove,
on the P. & L. E. K. R. to-morrow. The
Braddock Guu Clnb will hold an all-day
shoot, beginning at 9.30 o'clocs. There will
be eight matches. The fourth match will be
a grand prize match of seven prizos. The
rapid firing system will be used, and the
American Association shooting rules will
govern each match. The shooting tourney
will be open to all, and an immense day's
sport is expected. Tbe Braddock rifle team,
whose line big range is located in Tassoyjs
Hollow, near Hawkins, will also hold a full
day's riflo shoot of 12 matches. The club
has 15 members, all good marksmen, and
their range is one or the finest in the State.
Delegations from all the rifle teams as far
east as Greensbm-g will take part
In another portion of the big grove about
a dozen well-known Braddock ladies, prom
inent in local soLietv. who have been using
the range of the Braddock lifieteim for
some months and have become very efficient
with the heavy weapons, will hold a shoot
for ladies' entries only. This will no doubt
be one of the most interesting features of
tbe day. There are seveial school teachers
among the Braddock markswomen, and
while a women's rifle team has not yet been
organized, one is altogether liable to mature
shortly, as tbe members of the Braddock
rifle team have gallantly offered them the
use of their range whenever they want It.
There will be eight good athletic events for
valuable prizes, and the number of entries
already made shows they will be contested.'
A tennis tourney is also down on the pro
gramme, with cioquct sets, etc., also for
prizes. About 40 fine prizes have been pte
sented for the event. There will be a skiff
race on tbe Ohio and n ball game between'
the Silver Kings, of tnls city, and a picked
nine, mostly of Young American plavers
from Braddock. There will be fully 4,000
people there from tbis city and vicinity, and
to udd to tbe other long list of attracting
amusements theie will be dancing all day,
and the Original Royals will lurnlsh tno
music.

Malcom Chase, of Providence, Treats Tennis
Players to a Surprise.
Nahast, Mass., Aug. 11. Special.' Play
was continued to-day in the Nahant Tennis
tournament and resulted in several close
and exciting matches and in at least one
gieat sin prise. The unexpected was tbe do
lea t of Clarence Hobart, of New York, the
noted expert by Malcolm Chase, of Provi
dence, tne boy champion of the Inter-Scholastic
Association. Hobart was at tho head
of tho eight contestants in the tornament,
bnt his defeat puts him up on even terms
with K. T. Hall, Malcolm Chase and F. II.
Hovey, who all met with one defeat each.
Hobart'a defeat of to-day can only be ac
counted for upon the supposition that he
was over-confident and that he over-estimated
his recently acquired skill at tho net
game against so accurate a base Hue playor
us his antagonist. But the brilliant young
Providence expert was certainly playing the
game of his lite, and if he can continue to
vlay as he aid to-day he will be a hard man
lor anybody to beat.
Tne second set went to Hobart, who began
to wake up. After Hobart bad won the tlrst
game of the third and deciding set tbe
player from Providence began what proved
to be a phenomenal spurt at this critical
Juncture. Five straight games did he win
after long and exciting rallies, Ilobatt
getting a little nervous towrad the close and
smashing many balls out ot court. After
losing one game chase won the next and the
set and match. Following are the scores of
the day and the relative positions of the
contestants:
Summary Third day's play Malcolm

Champion Frank S. Ives has sent to tbe Sun
a letter which is the first authentic state
ment from him, in which he disclaims re
sponsibility for the deadlock oyer tho game
with Schaefer for the world's championship
emblem. He says:
The match has fallen through, as you
have heard, and Schaefer has claimed the
emblem and stake money, but I do not think
he has the right to it. I heard that Catlin
left for America on July 21, and he will
prabably say that I was the cause of tbe
deadlock. If he does, make him a good
swell bet and I will leave it to tbe Paris
Herald to determine whether I was to blame
or not. I offered to play Schaefer any where
outside the Nouveau Corgue, over Vigneau's
place, or the Folies Bercere. I am willing
to play at any other theater in Paris, but
Schaefer refused, and that Is how the dead
lock occurred. It looks funny to me and to
others that Schaefershonld have refused. I
certainly thought I was lair in my propo
sitions." Albert Gamier, who is well known to
Americans, writing by the same mall, says:
"1 have seen Ives. He is a nice fellow and a
fine bllllardlst. It Is a pity that the aham
pionsnlp game could not have been played
in Paris, as It would have been a great suc
cess. Bnt Ives doesn't want to play in any
place but tbe Folies Bergore, which is no
place for such a game. Scbaefer named the
Grand Hotel, but Ives would not accept."
Catlin is now here, havihg oome back to
take Schaefer's wife and family to Paris,
where Schaeier has decided to spend the win
ter, as there is more money to he made
there at billiards tban In this country at
present.

THE FIEST HEAT PACED IN 2:09.

CIECDIT TBOTTERS AT ROCHESTER
Grand Eapids, Aug. 11. Nine thou
sand shouting, excited spectators to-day saw
Hal Pointer snatch another victory from
the game stallion, Direct. It was 4:30 P.
M. before the event which the crowd had
come to see and for which they had patient
ly waited was announced. The announce
ment was received with applause and necks
were craned and hats and handkerchiefs
waved frantically In the air as the little
stallion, Direct, took a turn down the
stretch to limber his legs. The betting was
$25 to S6 in favor of Pointer, but the little
beauty had captured all hearts, if not all
pocketbooks, and received more applause
than his swift competitor. At 5 o'clock,
under a fair sky and only a slight breeze
blowing, the two horses came down the
stretch neck and neck, and as they passed
under the string together, the cry "They're
off" was heard irom thousands of throats,
then silence ensued as the great race began.
Hal Pointer's Very Speedy Heat.
First heat Hal Pointer had the pole,
and the horses cot away from the wire neck
and neck at a lively clip. They kept these
positions to the tnrn, then Geers pulled
Hal Pointer ahead a length. Starr made a
spurt, and at the half brought Direct close
onto the flank of the gelding. Direct could
not held to this pace, however, and Geers
drew steadily away till he had gained a
length at the last turn. Starr w as" fighting
tamely, but could not lessen the distance,
ut a long and loud shout went up as it be
came evident that Direct was gaining in the
homestretch. Starr, however, saw that he
could not win, and pulled up a little, and
came in a length and a half behind his rival.
Time by quarters 32, l:04j 1:37J, 2:09.
Second heat The start was made with
Direct at Hal's girth. The horses went as
if tied together for the first quarter, then
Hal drew away again in the next hundred
yards, but on the back stretch Direct drew
up again. At the half Hal spurted to the
second turn, and Direct was again left be
hind. -At the head of the stretch Direct
was going game and fast. Starr put the
whip on, but could not lessen the distance
and the finish was made with Direct a
length behind. 'Time, 2:11U.
Third heat Direct had evidently given
up. He went full tilt to the first quarter,
and then the little stallion sulked and fol
lowed Hal Pointer around the mile with a
devil-may-care expression two lengths be
hind. One hundred yards from the wire
the little beast gave up absolutely in dis
gust, and jogged in three lengths and a half
behind the victor. Time. 2:13
JInta TVilkes an Easy Winner.
The $3,000 trotting -race was tame, Sluta
"Wilkes winning with ease. In the 2:19
trot Steve "Whipple, a 5 to 1 shot, surprised
everybody by winning the first heat and the
added purse of 55,000 in 2:14 The third
heat of this race was hardly contested, St.
Vincent making a spurt at the close and
beating Nightingale, a prime favorite, by a
nose, Nightingale second, Una "Wilkes
third. Time, -2:18V. Nightingale won the
next two heats and the race.
"Wh,en Nancy Hanks with her owner,
Budd Doble, as driver, was seen approach
ing from the paddock there was wild ap
plause, which subsided into breathless sus
pense as the little mare shot under the wire
and was off in her race against old Father
Time. The track had been rolled and
worked between heats all the morninr, but
was still a trifle lumpy and fully two sec
onds slower than when Allcrton made his
record upon it. Horse and driver made a
game effort, however, and were greeted
with cheers when the starter announced
that the plucky animal had kept up to her
record and made the mile in 2:09. Time hy

GBEAT BACES AT E0CHESIEB.
Two Events Finished, but the Best Is to Be
Ended To-Day.
Rochester, N. Y., An?. 1L To-day's races
at the Grand Circuit were closely contested,
and only two races were finished. THj
crowd of more than 5,000 people at the park
was so anxious to see tbe third race, the 2:23
class, settled that it remained under the
tents until after dark, just to see if Virginia
Evans was a bigger man than Starter
Archer. She was, and so the event
went over until to-morrow after
noon. The race was tbe last on
the card and Virginia Evans, who sold
favorite at 25 to the field at 15, after taking
two heats so easily that there was no bet
ting on tbe race before the third was
started, dropped the third heat and then
followed it up by dropping the fourth.
Though it was then neai ly dark, the Judges
said the race must be finished, and after 15
minutes of resting the horses' were sum
moned. Bamona was anxlons for the heat
and showed up, but the other hortes were
slow in responding and Virginia Evans aid
not show up at all.

Tho Australian Only Able to Make a
Draw Against Lavlgne.
Saw Framcisco, Ang. 1L The great contest
between Jem Burge, the Australian, and
Billy Lavlgne, the American, took place
,here last night.
Burge was hailed as a wonder, yet the con
test was more to try him out than anything
else. He disappointed the sports. The
American went at him from tbe call of time.
From the sixth to tbe ninth round Burge
shaped up better and kopt Lavlgne guess
ing. Ho would drop his head and take
Lavigne's half arm jolts in the face at close
quarters without a return, but would swing
his ri;ht on the head or kidnev3 as Lavlgne
got away. The next five rounds were slow,
Lavlgne avoiding close quarters. The next
three rounds were a little warmer. Surge's
left ribs were somewhat marked and be had
lost a tooth. Lavlgne was apparently as
good as ever.
Burge began tr force the work in the
twenty-fiist round, but his opponent was
shifty and escaped punishment. In the
twenty-seventh round Levigne ran around
the ring with the Australian In pursuit.
The twenty-ninth and thiitv-flrst rounds
were marked by some hot exchanges. In
the thirty-fourth Lavlgne caught Burge one
of the hardest blows of tbe fight, a left arm
Jolt on the face, sending the Australian to
the ropes. Tbe American also landed a
shoulder nudge that nearly settled the
Australian.
Lavlgne thereafter scored several hard
ones on Burge's Jaw. In the forty-first
Lavlgne tried a Divot blow, but did not land.
The spectators cried foul, as tbe referee had
announced he would bar that blow. The
referee ordered them io continue the fight,
however.
At the end of the fiftieth round the referee
stated that there was no prospect of a finish
and declared the contest a draw. Owing to
the fact that Lavlgne had inmredhls right
hand, the contest bad resolved itself Into an
exhibition of his cleverness at Jabbing with
his left and getting awav. Burge made sev
eral desperate efforts during the contest,
but was handicapped Dy the saglnaw man's
height and reach,
S1DD0HS WAS SUBPBISED.
Tho Draw Between Ulm and Pierce "Was
Against Hia Desire.
New York, Aug. 11. Special. George
Slddons, the pugilist who fought a 41-round
draw with "Eddie" Pierce before the Coney
Island Atbletic Club on Monday night, in
company with his trainer, "Billy" Dacey,
called at tho Illustrated News office yesterday.
The Crescent City boy was looking re
markably well, and except for a swollen lip,
nobody would have imagined that he had
undergone such a hard battle two days ago.
Iu speaking of tbe fight, he said:
"It was one of the most trying contests I
ever fought. They say amateurboxers can't
fight, but I know different. -They are Just
as capable of taking care of themselves as
professional fighters. Pierce is a first-class
man, no mistake. He is a good, stiff puncher,
and as plucky a fellow as I ever met. His
siiowing surprised me. I cannotundeistand
why the fight was declared a draw. I was
perfectly willing to continue, and believed I
was winning when it was stopped.
"When the fight was declared a draw I
made a vigorous protest, but I got no satis
faction, being told that Judge Newton
ordered it stopped, and offered to even up
iiiatteis by giving me $100. I never gave my
consent to making a draw, and was simply
astounded when it was stopped.
"I will leave for New Orleans next week,
and challenge the winner of tbe Dixon
Skelly fight."
Dacey said that the reason he agreed to a
draw wasbecanse JudseNewton offered him
$100 to do so. Dacey said he lefused to do so
at first, but as Newton said he would stop
the fight any way, be decided the best thing
to do was to agree to a draw. He admits
that he did not consult Siddons about it.

The League of American Wheelmen Is extend
insr to the West, and now Montana Is to be given
offl clal recognition as a division on August 13.
NOT all the speedy wheelmen are mentioned
when one nses the names of Perlo. Taylor, Wlndle.
Osmond, Charron, for It Is reported, nnd in a
measure authenticated, that Thomas Ralph has
been timed for a milt on the Hampden track in
2:154-5.
STtiL Wlndle declines to appear on the race
track, bnt to a few friends be has quietly confided
the fact that he can move raster than ever. All his
work Is done on his own private track at Milburr,
and It is well understood that during tbe late au
tumn he will do with Taylor's record as he did
with Osmond's-shave It when there Is little or no
time for the one whose record Is broken to recover
It.
IT is whispered that the timers who caught Bicy
clist Taylor at 2:11 for his mile had some dlOculty
In assenting to it. Some outsiders who were pres
ent and held watches on the trial caught the record
breaker at 2:102-5, 2:10 1-5 and 2:10 flat. But tbe
officials hovered around 2:11, and striking the mean
between the times, they had announced 2:11 to the
world, and thus it stands. Taylor, by the way.
does not lie as close to tbe hearts of the wheelmen
as he might. He Is reserved, nas something of tbe
temperament of Wlndle. and compels admiration
rather tban alms to have It voluntarily given to
him.
