BOW THEr WON IT.
Tho
Local Flayers Used the Stick and
Downed the Phillies.
Our sluggers took it into their heads yes
terday to hit the ball, and tbey were slug
gers indeed at very
opportune stages
of the game. Asa
result they were
the victors.and the
Phillies were very
badly beaten. So
well and effective
ly did the home
talent use the stick
that Gus Weyhing
was knocked out
of the box and on
to the bench in the
seventh inning.
This is what hit
ting will do, and
there were times
yesterday afternoon when the cranks were
reminded of the old-time slugging abilities
of our heroes. When they do make their
minds up to hit, something has to drop, and
Gustave Weyhing was made aware of that
lack
It Might Hare Been Worse.
And "Weyhing was very lucky to cet
away without getting a greater drubbing
than he did, a there were some very hot
liners that went direct to the fielders.
Vej hing started out as gay as a lark, and
after Beckley had knocked the ball almost
out of sght for a three-bagger Weyhing still
kept up his jovial remarks and indulged in
bantering talk. Cot tbe time came round
when Jake banged ont his seconcl three
bagger, sending in three runs, and then "Mr.
Weyhing collapsed and disappeared from the
busy scenes of the diamond. Beckley had
his batting clothes on and it was none too
soon.
Before the game startedManager Buoken
berger was somewhat at a loss as to what
pitcher he would use. finally he selected
Elmer Smith and the selection turned out
to be a good one. Elmer was in good pitch
ing oondition and he really pit ched an ex
cellent game. He was steady from begin
ning to end.
Elmer Had Good Encouragement.
But the good hitting of his colleagues
aided him wonderfully and once more de
monstrated the fact that good pitching is
often of little avail if it is not backed up by
good or at least timely hitting. The home
players yesterday went at the ball as if they
meant business. Not only did they knock
the ball at the right time, bnt they were
most timely in their bunt hits. Tbe latter
to some extent paralyzed Weyhing, as the
locale were every now and again tapping
the ball about the diamond and getting
saiely to first.
The fielding was tolerably fair on both
sides. Beilly made a wonderful stop or
two and so did FarrelL Altogether the
game was a good one to look at, although
toward the finish it became very one
sided. Manager Buckenberger sent his men first
to bat. There was nothing done in the first
Inning, but Beckley started off thVsecond
with a terrific drive to the right Winter fence
for three bases. The hit.jras a beauty.
Farrell struck out nni1 Beckley scored on
Shugart's long fly to Hamilton.
In the secoiu''half the visitors tied the
score. Thompson got his base on balls,
reached s.-cond on Delehanty's sacrifice and
scored oh Dowse's single .alter Connor had
struck out. It looked as it the argument
war going to be a close one, but the Bluggers
h'.d a surprise in store.
An Extremely Incky Play.
I In the fifth inning Shugart started off by .
getting his base on balls and Bierbauer's'
sacrifice sent him to second. Mack made a
good single to right, Shugart going to third
and ilnck got second on the throw in.
While Miller was at bat, Mack, evidently
forgetting that Shugart was at third, tried
to steal tliat base. Miller Ut Mack's mis
take and let go at the ball when Weyhing
pitched it, making a safe hit to left and Shu
gart and Mack easilv scored, of Course.
Dame Fortune was, indeed, very kind.
The visitors also made an effort in their
half. After two men were ont Allen
knocked the ball past shortstop and while
the fielders were wondering how Allen had
hit the ball he got to second on what ought
to have been only a single hit. Weyhing
knocked the ball in front ot the plate and
Smith threw wildly to first, the runner being
safe and Allen at third. Hamilton's safe
bunt scored Allen.
The home-plnyers still Wentfnrther ahead
in the sixth. Smith started out 'with a sin
gle. Kelly tried to make a bunt and sent
the ball toward Weyhing. The latter got the
ball and threw it .to the bleechcrs, Stqith
scoring and Kelly reaching third on the
error. Kelly scored on Beckley's long fly
to Thompson.
The Inning That Settled YTtjldag.
Then came the seventh inning, s Mack
started it ofl and reached first on a wild
throw by Allen. Miller made a very artis
tic bnnt and reached first all right. Dono
van duplicated Miller's effort, and the bases
werfe lull. Smith struck out and every
body sighed. Kelly followed with a scratch
single and Mack scored. Beckley here
came to the rescue and caused all doubts to
vanish by thumping out a corker to right
field for three bases, sending home Miller,
Donovan and Kelly. Eeilfy made a wild
throw aud Beckley scored the filth run ot
inning, three bein earned.
In the eighth Carsey started in to pitch.
In the second half, after Carsey was out,
Hamilton made a' single to center, got to
third on a muffed throw bv Blerbauer and
ecored on a sacrifice by Hailnian.
In the ninth inning Donovan led off and
Ck
I JhCTOR'f Ji
cot his base on balls end scored on Smith's
bunt and a sacrifice by Kelly.
The weather was extremely unfavorable
and the attendance was 1,100." The score:

CtTiVKLASD, Aug. 28 Tho .Brooklyn clnb,
contrary to their own expectations, and the
furs of many of the Cleveland cranks, did
not head off the loaders to-day. Tho homo
club continued to climb upward by winning
both games. In the first, the Brooklyn s
could not hit Cupp they never have done
it yet.
In the second tho fight was mora interest
ing, bat It rained in drizzles, and Toung Is
probably one of tho best wet ball pitchors
in the League, as he uses curves but little.

TENNIS AT NEWPORT.
Some Brilliant Playing, and Several Vic
tories Are Hardly Won.
Newport, E, L, Aug. 28. The conditions
for the tennis play this morning were very
poor. It rained all night and play was be
gun in a drizzling rain at 11:30. In tho first
set Chace started la by showing surprisingly
strong tennis, and played all around
his opponent, taking the set on his
superior work, Hall being able to get but one
came, and that after the score had gone to
6-1. Hall, who in the first set had clearly
been playing far below his standard of yes
terday, began to brace in the second, while
Chace fell off a little. Hall won the first two
games then carried the score to 4-2, S-3, and
then went out, doing good work thronzh the
set, though baldly reaching his form in the
match with Hobart.
The third set looked as if it would go to
Hail, also, though Chaoo took the first game.
Hall was doing tbe better work and soon
had tho score 4-2, Hall stonned short al
most, and allowed his competitor to pull up
till they were even at 4-all and then to for?o
ahead and take the set away from him, 6-4.
In the next Hall took a wonderful brace and
was practioalty unapproachable. He al
lowed Chace butjwo games, and toward tho
end of the game scarcely a point was scored
against him. He soon pulled out tbe set
and on the match.
Tbe matoli between Earned and V. Hall
was called shortly before noon, when tho
shower was at its worst. From the begin
ning of the first Bet it was apparent that Mall
had no show against bis opponent. The first
two sets went quickly and easily to Larned.
In tbo third Hall made the only contest of
the match, and it looked at one time as if he
might escape losing three straight, but
with the score 1 2 and 6-3 in his favor the
other man was too stronir for him and won.
The match of Wrenn, of Boston, and
Fielding, ot Philadelphia, was tbe one which
attracted the most attention after tho com
pletion of the Hall-Chace contest. Wrenn's
play w&9 very strong in the net, and the
other man not but a "Initio game. He fell off
fiomhls strong play In tbe next, however,
and Fielding came up enough to take the set
6-4. The next was the decisive set, but was
a hard battle berore the victory was finally
recorded for the Boston bov. wrenn finally
culled out, by virtue of his great steadiness,
8-7. Fielding failed to get even one game in
the last set.
The other match of the afternoon went
also contrary to expectations, so far as the
eae with which It was won was concerned.
Hovey smashed and lobbied and drovo balls
lnhls best style, and Stevens went nil lo
plooes and got only four cames in the match,
all in the second set. Hovey improved, if
anything, toward the last and rushed away
with the third set, 6-0, as he had in the first,
givlmr bis opponent no chance to score. It
was a brilliant but one-sided exhibition.

POINTERS ABOLT THE PDTDRITI RACE
riPZCIAL TZXSaBASI TO TBI DISPATCH.
New OeleaHS, Aug. 26. The betting
has begnn here, but it Is still very light on
the individuals, because of a difficulty lu
coming to an agreement about odds and the
big odds asked. Those Who are backing the
short end pugilists want greater odds than
the others are willing to concede. The ma
jority of the beti so far hare bees on combination-,
the better to name three win
ners, the odds varying from 13 to S against
Sullivan, Dixon and McAnliffe or Myer to
21tol against Corbett, Skelly and Mc
Aullfie or Myer.
McAuliffe stock has improved, and he ii
slightly the favorite to-day on account of
Eastern backing. Dixdh is the favorite at
J to 1 and more asked, and Sullivan at 2 to
L A good deal of money was put up in
the poolrooms to-day mainly on the com
bines, but generally in small bets of from
5 to $100. Some money is coming here
irom the North to be invested in bets.
Mr. Theodore Peterson, ex-President of
the Olvtnpio Club, announces that he has
had $10,000 given to bini to bet on Sullivan,
Dixon and Myer individually. At La
mothe's pool room the talent is playing
Sullivan, Myer and Dixon on 'account of
the big odds'given, as they seem to think
it's good, even if they lose it At the
Crescent Turf Exchange it's all the other
vn am SI... n.t .Inl,!.,. Q.l1!A
McAnliffe and Dixon for the winners.
Sullivan and Dixon are also being backed,
but for only small amounts.
The general admission of the Olympic
Club will not be put on sale until about
September L The tickets, as usual, will
be lithographed, and will be difficult to
counterfeit. The tickets are to be
sold at iour places Duffy's Arena;
Landey's, on Canal, near Bamport;
Peterson & Darendon's, Canal street,
corner Dupbine, and the St. Charles
Botuudo. The Louisville and Nashville
wants Sullivan's partjr to come to New Or
leans by way ot their road. Colonel At
more will assure Sullivan that he will run
the'train through Tennessee without stop
ping, thus securing Sullivan from arrest by
the Tennessee authorities on an old indict
ment.. Advices were received iu this ctty
this morning to the effect that Johnny
Griffin had arrived at Bay Sf. Louis.
Griffin will immediately commence boxing
will Skelly, and, as the former knonsthe
tactics of the ebony hued pug, no doubt his
knowledge will be of much benefit to the
young bantam at the Bay. Jack Sheehan
has arrived in Bay St Louis, and will assist
in training MoAuliffe.
Snltlvan Still Losing Flesh.
Ca-soe Place Ikn, Aug. 26. Owing to rain
Sullivan practiced in tbe gymnasium this
morning. His exorcise heie was somewhat
harder than usual, but ho went through the
different degrees very satisfactorily. .The
special feature of bis work was skipping
the rope, union he did without a break, and
the exertion didn't worry him. The big
fellow's feet are now in perfect condition,
Sullivan had quite a number of visitors to
day. Thoy Included his brother and nephew
from Boston, Joe Lannon and Judge Tighe,
or Brooklyn, accompanied by two sons. Xhe
champion Is In fine noalth and spirits, and
AShton says he's down to 206 pounds. L

Corbett Gets a Mascot.
New York, An?. 28. Special Jim
Corbett received a letter from the South
ern Atnltio CJub of New Orleans yes
terday, offering him the use of their
club rooms and gymnasium during his
stay in New Orleans. This is the clnb be
foie whom Corbett fonglit his battlo with
Kilrain. In accepting the club's invitation
Corbett reters to that fact, that he considers
tbelr offer of hospitality a mascot. From
present indications tbe attendance at the
"garden" during the day on Monday will
consist largely of ladies and their mascot.

Akbon, Ang. 26. George Heathman, of
Akron, and James Glasple, of Bogue Hollow,
fought 18 rounds in Akron last night with
eight-ounce gloves! Heathman knocking out
his opponent In the eighteenth round. It
was alter midnight when the fight took
rjlace. and was witnessed, bv 100 neonle.
Glaspie has challenged Heathman to fight to

Portland, Aug. 26. Arthur Walker, of
Australia, and Dick Johnson, of Portland
(colored), middle-weights, fongnt befoto

THE GREAT FUTURITY.
It Is Likely That the Big Xtnce VI I'l Be
San on a Untidy Truck JIore.Ho Is
Lookrd Upon as a Frobablo. Winner,
and Greon B. Morris May Have a Sur
prise. New York, Aug. 26 It is to be denlorcd
that the $75,000 Futurity stakes for 1892 will
be decided on a heavy track, as thero are
several contestants for the big prize that
are not n't home in the mud, and there Is no
denying the fact that in such a Moo as this
the money should go to the highest class
animal that faces the starter. The Coney
Island Jockey Club has had In previous
yenis a good traok and a sunny sky for tho
decision of their most Important stake, but
the heavy rains of Thursday and to-day and
tho dark skiet at midnight give evidenoes
of additional moisture for to-moirow.
61xteen 2-year olds are named to start for
the Futurity, and of that number theie are
only two that have pnblio form pretensions
to hitth olass. These are Lady Violet and
Morello, two youngsters that could win in
Riiy year. Lovelace is a game, consistent
fellow, and Sir Francis gave promise of be
coming one of the best of the ear, but that
is not saying muoh for the half brother of
Yorkvilfe Belle, as this year's crop of 2-year-olds
is tbe worst seen lu years. Lidgerwood
ran but once in pnblic, but his private form
is said to be higb.audthe Ehretstables have
great hopes of winning the stake with him.
The rain has lessoned gteatly the chances
ot Lady Violet's winning and has Increased
those or Morello, the Flower being at a dis
advantage in the mud, while the Bolus aolt
is a perfect mud lark, and has made a show
of bis fields in that kind of a track every
time he has started. In Fltzpatrick he will
have a most capable rider, and tbe one that
beats him will take away the prize.
Green B. Morris may have a neat llttlo
surprise bottled up for the talent in his Pat
Malloy, Jr., however.
AT BBIGHT0H BEACH.
Bain and a Muddy Track Mars the Closing
Day's sport.
Brighton Beach Race Track, Aug. 26. The

taking second place from Dalsyrian by a

India Bnbber, 12 to L came with a phenom
enal rush and sent Mldgley to the whip, he
finally getting Crochet first past the post by

More Dissatisfaction About the Hal Pointer
and Direct Pacing Bans.
Coluubuo, Aug. 26 Tbe race meeting of
the Columbus Driving Park was finished
here to-day, tbe attendance being light. '
Hal Pointer and Direct renewed their
pacing race, which was left unfinished yes

spectators hooted tho drivers, and there was
muoh dissatisfaction at the slow time. Both
drivers were taken down and new ones put
