DOWNED THEM AGAIN.
The Local Team Put Up Another Good
Gams Against the Boston.
Our sluggers more than evened matters
up with the champions from Boston yester
day by scoring
their second vic
tory out of the
three games played
between the teams.
Of course.hundreds
of cranks will be
saying: "It should
have been three
straight." True, it
might, but two out
of three is a per
centage to be proud
of aany stage, and
the Boston players
were strongly of
this opinion last
evening. They
were very sad, indeed, when they left the
prounds, because they were never more
. anxious to win a came than they were to
down the local talent yesterday afternoon.
They plaved a lively game and tried their
best to win, but they luckily escaped a
shutout.
The Pitching Was First-Class.
They did not etrn a run during the three
game which goes to show that there is
some first-clavs pitching talent here. Bald
win pitched yesterday and kept up the
pood work of His two colleagues, Ehret and
Terry,. It was generally expected that
Ehret would pitch, and wheu Mark went
into the box there were very grave mis
givings about the result of the game. And
when he gave the first two men up their
bases on balls and made a wild pitch there
was a general cry for Ehret. Miller told
the kickers to "shut up" and theydid so.
From that stage on to the finish the
Marquis ot Homestead pitched in great
form and had those terrors from Bcanland
completely at his mercy.
The weather was excellent and there were
8,500 people present. Of late it has been
the misfortune of the team to do their bad
work in presence of big audiences, and
when the splendid audience ot yesterday
was gathered superstitious cranks were sure
that "something would drop." Something
did drop, sure enough, but it tell on the
fellows from Boston
Mike Blly Did Very WdL
Mike Kelly and Ehret again umpired and
too many kind things cannot be said about
Michael" Angela. He had lots ot close de
cisions to tackle and he gavethem to the
home team; in fact, once or twice Mite was
to eager to give the locals fair play that the
visitors hardly got their due. In the eighth
inning Kelly' acted the part of an honest
man and a gentleman, if ever man did on
the ball field. Smith knocked the ball to
the right field fence and the bail landed
close to the loul line. Ehret called it a fair
ball and there was considerable kicking. To
keep matters as pleasant as possible the
home plavers said they would act on what
Kelly said. He was appealed to and he
alo railed it a fair ball.
This caused Nichols to kick terribly, and
he for a time refused to continue the game.
Kelly got his watch out and said: "Now
you have a minute to make up your mind."
This brought Mr. Nichols to time. Kelly
was standing at first base when the ball
was knocked away, and it anybody was able
to judge the ball he was.
Kid Nlcho s W as UnTneky.
Nichols pitched an admirable game, but
was avfully unlucky. .jThe hits made off
his deln cry were made mostly after some
blunder or other had been committed.
Nichols really worked hard to win, but his
side couldn't hit the ball and all his great
pitching was in vain.
The fielding ct the home players was
brilliant. Shugart, although credited with
an error really played a magnificent game
and ran bases like "a deer.
Eun cetting commenced in the second
hall of the second iuning, Beckley led off
and Knocked out a fly to the left foul line.
Nash ran for it and caught it while he stood
on fairground but he lett the ball drop and
Becklev reached second. Farrell struck
and Ganrell missed the third strike and
while he was throwiug Farrell out at first
Becklev got to third. Shugart got his base
on balls and a wild pitch sent Beck lev
home and Shugart got to third. Bierbauer's
sacrifice scored Shugart
Runs Rrcarnn Somewhat Scare.
There was not much like a run until the
seventh inning. In the second half of that
inning, alter two men were out, Shugart
got hi-; base on balls. Bierbauer followed
with a single to right center and McCarthy
fumbled the ball. Shugart kept on running
and scored, Bierbauer reaching second.
Baldwin then surprised ever body by
knocking out a single to leit and scoring
Bierbauer.
In the eighth inning, after Donovan was
out, Smith made his three-bagger and scored
on a single by Kelly.
In the ninth inning, after Dufly was out,
Long got to first on a fumble by Farrell.
Ganzell got his; bae on balls and Nash
made a single to center, scoring Long.
Some people thought it was looking squalfv
again, but Tucker was put out at first, the
to runners going each a base onward.
Lowe sent a hot grounder to Shugart, who
brilliantly stopped it and threw Lowe out
at first, aiid the jig was up. The score:

"Ain't they easy," said Beezor Wills be
fore the game; "just like outttng watermel

vincible Thompson was in the box for the
"Gyms" and the "Tars" had a complete cor
ner on wind. The way they dislocated the
atmosphere was horrible to behold. The
"Gyms'" on the other hand were ponnding
out jase hits Just as if they owned them.
Cameron tried his hand in the box for the
"Tars," but was very wild. When ho did
"put it over" the -ball landed against the
fence. The game abounded with brilliant
plRVS, two phenomenal stops by Dan Bnrr
in left field being the principal ones. Tlio
"Gyms" aro now virtually champions of the

HALL DEFEATS PRITCHARD.
The Britisher Knocked Ont in Four Very
Lively Bounds "Inn Australian (lis
Too Hie and Clever for the Englishman
The Battle TVas Short and Drsperat".
Loiroon; Ang. 20. The glove contest be
tween Jim Hall, the Australian pugilist, and
Pritcbard, English champion, came off this
morning at Brighton. The battle was won
in four rounds, tne match, was for 100 a
.ide, the men fought at 11 stone 6 pounds.
The fight was managed with great secrecy.
very few persons knowing when or where it
was to come on. It was generally thought
it wouldn't take place till Monday, but In
this case the opinion was wrong. There
were present at tbe fight only S3 or 40 of the
principal supporters of the comhatants.
Little advantage was gained by either of
tho men in the first round. Pritchura's sup
porters felt confident that their man would
win and JE150 to 100 was offered onPrltch
ardns the rren came up lor the second
inund. In this round Prttchnrd knocked
Hall olean off his pins nitha left handed
counter. Prltehard stood off his opponent
and nine seconds sped by befnio Hall irot up.
He kept ont of danger and lecovered so
quickly that he was going as tast.as Pritch
anl'at the call of time.
During the porind of rest between rounds
two and tliroo Mitchell gave sage advice to
Ball, who still woro a smile of confidence.
In the other corner Baldcck said: "If-a
Sinch for you Ted; you have only got to
nish him a.-ain in the middle."
Both men stepped to tho scratch at the
word. Uall ducked from Fritchatd's lend
ami banged his leit on the lattei's mouth.
Before l'ntchaid could recover Hall once
moro smashed him on the left, nhich wits
now cutand aisflgured. "I'll bet J6100 thnt
Ball leaves the ring withonta mark." said
Mitchell, and Hall, 'with a smile, landed
heavily on Pritchard's left eye. Pritchaid
now seemed non-plussed. Twice he tried
without effect to get on his opponent, until
in the last IS seconds. Hall delivered heavily
with both hand. Pritcharcl was lou.'ht into
the corner of tbe rin' and was having a bad
time or it, when tho end of the round saved
him from a knock-out. nail atthis Junctuie
was doing a. tremendous amount of work.
In the Inurth round Piitchard left his
coiner looking very much flushed andevi
dontlv in distress. In direct contrast to
him Hall took the middle ot the ring lull of
fight and confidence. Pritchard, however,
was first at woik, and he encouraged his
supporters by twice delivering his left on
Hall's mouth. The Australian only smiled,
and from the wav he moved it was seen that
he was only biding his time to land on his
opponent.
Pritcbard was still strong on his legs and
nobody thought the end was so near. A
busy rally followed. Then breaking away
Hall got close in. Timing his effort ho shoe
his right across on Pritchard's cheek. Tlio
blow was a little too high, but it knocked
the Londoner, to tbe boai ds, where he lay
Just seven seconds. Then he was up again
and made a plucky effort to keep the Aus
tralian away. Hall, however, again wcaved
in, hooking his leit in Pritohard'g chin nnd
smashing his right on the point. The effeot
was instantaneous. Pritch.trd foil to the
floor on his back. Hore he lay for a second
or two, and then rolling over he remained
motionless until tho ten seconds weie called
out one by one by the timekeeper. When
they had elapsed Hall was declared the
winner. Mitchell hoisted Hall shoulder
high, Hall rooeiving the congratulations of
his friends, while Pritcbard, who broke
down altogether, had the sympathy of no
small number of those present.
THE BIG BATTLE,
Great Demand for Tickets to See Snlllvan
and Corb-'tt right.
New Orleans, Aug. 0. Special The
Olympics have taken in moro money in tbe
Sullivan event so far than en the other two
combined. They have alreadv sold $25,000
worth of boxes and reserved seats for that
fight and about $13,000 lor tho other two
events equally divided Detween them. Only
reserved seats have been sold so far, nnd
none of the general admission tickets, which
will not be placed on sale until August 30.
Tbe club will try to protect visitors by pre
venting tbe buying up ot tickets in blocks
by speculators to bo sold for an advance in
prices.
Mr. Joseph Sporl has charge of the accomo
dations of'tno pugilists whil here. The
men will of courso be consulted on the mat
ter, and thei-tliking will bo followed as far
as possible. Sullivan will piobably find
rooms somewhere near the location of his
old quarters on Bonepart street, and do his
exercising in one oi tne ntmetic cinDs or the
city, or else in his special train on which he
will oome South. Corbett's domicile lias not
been picked out, but it will-most likely be
downtown with one or the members ot the
Olympic near the club. Dixon will be lodged
with J. Madison Vance, his local admiier,
and Myer will occupy his old quarters at
Weunan'sin Ctnollton. Where Skelly and
MeAuliffe will be put is not known.
An application! was made to the club to
allow women to be present, 'as a number
had expressed a desire to witness the scene
ot the contest, but this was decided against
on the ground that it would bring tho club
into disrepute. One hundred policemen,
headedyby Captain Barrett, who has pre
sided at the previous meetings of the club,
will be In attendance to keep order. Pro .
John Duffy will probably reteree all three
fights, although the club does not desire to
announce this officially, as it thinks the men
tUemselve- should be consulted In the mat
tor. Duffy has retereed all the club's previ
ous fights. Mr. Frank will be tbe official
timekeeper for the club.
THOSE TB1CKY SPBINTEBS,
Messrs. Balslnger and smothers Disappoint

TJniontown, Aug 20. Special. John
Baltslnger, of this place, and Lyman Smoth
ers, a colored man of Brownsville, were to
have run a foot race at tbe Pair Grounds
here this afternoon, a distance of 100 yards
for a purse of $1,000. Bjlslnger was backed

referee, and BAlsinger was given three yards
start. - s- " '
When tho signal for starting "was given
Balslnger started, making 97 yards in 10J
seconds, but Smothers stood like a statue.
The race was given to Balslnger. It was
stated thnt Smothers was ordered not to

Those who had money up are very indig
nant at the day's proceedings.

FAILED THIS TIME.
Nancy Hanks' Vain Attempt to Equal
Her Becent Becord.
JAY EYE SEE A GREAT PACER.
Ha Goes a Hile on tho Chicago Track Stiad
ilyiD.2:08 34.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
Chicago, Ang. 20. Nancy Hanks was
sent to-day against her record ot 2:071
made last Wednesday and fell short of the
mark. She trotted a game mile, but could
do no better than 2:09i;, the .time by
quarters Jbeing :32f, 1:05 1:39, 2:09
Her failure to beat the record was a dis
appointment Doble had expressed him
self as confident that the mare would lower
her record. The track was' as fast as the'
most exacting could require, but the day
was too cool and the breeze too strong for
any more record smashing.
The feature of the last day of the meet
ing beside Nancy Hanks was the pacing of
Jay Eye See against his own trotting rec
ord of 2:10. He .went around the track in
2:08", his time by quarters being :32,
1:01 l:39Xi 2:08s Had the same con
ditions of temperature and wind prevailed
to-day as on Wednesday, tbe chances are
that Jay Eye See would have come peril
ously near the mark of 2:05 set by Hal
Pointer two days ago. The old king of the
trotting turf paced his mile as steadily as
clockwork, and finished strong and fresh.
J. L Case, bis owner, who. drove him, is
sanguine that Jay Eye See can do much
better than his time of to-day, and the little
black gelding will take a shot at the world's
record within a short time.
The free tor all trot was bitterlv con
tested between Alvin, Jack and Pickpania,
Fred S Wilkes and Vic H not proving
dangerous. Jack was not in the best con
dition, and that he made as good showing as
he did was due more to Doble's able driving
than to his speed. The other events were
the free for ail trot for 3-year-olds, won in
straight heats by Willies Ward, the
favorite. The 2:14pace was taken by Fly
ing Jib, another red hot favorite. A. mile
trotting dash for the 2:22 trotting class
which Beina won by a nose from Harry
Medium, and a 2:20 pacing dash ot one mile',
which was captured in 2:W by Atlantic
King. In the Jree for all trot the betting
public was hit hard. It made Jack, who is
a Chicago horse, an even favorite against
the field, before the first heat and stuck to
him steadily, though the odds dropped
somewhat alter Alvin had won two heats.
The race was a gold mine tor the book
makers. SUMMARIES.

There are as many faint-hearted drivers as

James Golden says that with a rubber-covered
track and something on the horse's foot to destroy
concussion, a mile In 2:00 Is possible.
ST. Flobiax's case is pronounced hopeless by
Wyndbam Walden. The great colt will be bred to
some of the best mares at Mlddleburg next spring.
Pbtxcess Koyal, a 2-year-old, by Chimes,

ACCORDING to an Australian paper, a rancher

ONE of the most prominent of American racing
authorities says that our Jockey clubs ought to de
vote their energies and their ingenuity with activ
ity and zeal toward arranging more races In which
the best Jockeys can ride without reducing their
weights so seriously as to Impair their strength and
damage their health.
A oood story lstersely told by a frleml of Vac

Vaccasgot a "straight tip." but it aid not pan

And a wag added: "Vachlred a hack, went to the

BOTn Robert Bonner and C. J. Hamlin, who

gentlemen go back to where they started
and play these sets, the winner of the prize
to take two ont of the three. Judging from
the play yesterday it will take all three sets
to decide.
A large crowd of ladies and gentlemen
watched the play with more than ordinary
interest, and they were generous in their
'applause. Early in the afternoon Ewing
defeated Murray 6-4, 6-1, owing 15 and giv
ing V-30. Murray started out well, and at
one time the first set stood 4-1 in his favor,
but he lost his nerve and 'failed to place the
balls with sufficient accuracy.

Moorhead gave Edwards 15 and owed
M-15 and beat 6-3, 6-2. Several times
Moorhead was within a point of winning
earlier in the sets, but Mr. Edwards pulled
out only to be finally defeated. These two
matches brought Moorhead and Ewing into
the finals, an event that was not unexpected
although there was an idea prevalent that
Murray would be Moorhead's opponent
owing to the handicap he had and his
well-known cool judgment and long reach.
Without doubt tome of the prettiest play
ing seen on the courts this year was wit
nessed in the four sets played by Moorhead
and Ewing. The latter owed -15; that
is, in every other game he bad to make two
points to score 15, The first set was drawn
out to 20 games, Moorhead finally capturing
it by a score ol 11-9. In this the' difference
in style between the two players was no
ticeable. Moorhead came up to the net the
more frequently and made several very
pretty cross court smashes. Ewing ad
hered more closely to the base line, but
his placing was more sure. Thus in the first
set Moorhead drove 33 balls out of court
while Ewing sent out only 22. Both sent 18
into tbe net. Ewing made two double
faults and Moorhead but one.
Loner Games and Bests
Some of the "rests" were very long. On
one occasion the ball passed the net nine
times one way and eight times the other
before a point was scored. Then some of tha
games were long drawn out In one of them
Ft varied from "deuce" to "vantage" and
back again no less than seven times.
All ot the sets were "deuce" sets, but the
second and third were not so interesting as
the last. Ewing won the second. 7-5; Moor-
the third, 7-5; and Ewing the fourth, 6-4.
A partial analysis of the sets is as follows:

FkAl!y Is a Good One.
New Orleans, La., Aug. 2a George B.
Hammond, who resides in Brooklyn, and
who has seen Jack Skelly fight three times,
writes Charles Koel about him as follows:
"Boston people generally seem to have lit
tle opinion or young Jack Skelly. I
want to tell you for the good or your towns
men that Skelly is as good a 113-pound man
as ever lived. lie is simply n 'Cracker Jack'
in his class, and it would not astonish those
who know him well to see him check young
Dixon's progress." Mr. Noel received this
letter last mgbtr from a Streator iriend: "I
see some of the Chicago papers havo been
discussing bow MeAuliffe is going to rush
Myer. I cannot refrain from tellimr yon
that MeAuliffe won't rush Myer at all. I
was with Myer here last Saturday nnd I
never saw him so clever. lie can use both
hands "very well and his leit, usually of lit
tle good to him, is now a uselui member. I
am of the opinion that Myer will show bis
cyclonic powers this time, if never before."
