THE EASIEST YET.
Onr Sluggers Get a Forfeited Game From
the Cleveland Pennant Winners.
Our Sluggers gained the easiest victory
of the year yesterday at Exposition Park.
They were on the
grounds to tackle
the CleTelands to
decide the tic
game of Tuesday,
But the Forest
City fellows were
not there. Accord
in!; to their declar-
AT7)f-L a t i o n Tuesday
I Ll tt evening they had
CTO.RY jA le't tor home. TJm-
the local team
were on the
grounds. There
were about 50 peo
ple present, and"
fter Ehret had pitched three balls across
Hie plate Umpire Gaffney gave the game
to the local team, 9 to 0.
There will be no dispute about the decis
ion of the umpire, but the local club in
tends to try and enforce a fine of 1,000 on
the Cleveland club lor their team tailing to
show up. The rules are not very definite
on this point. The Cleveland officials claim
that they cannot be fined aud .Manager
Buckenbergcr claims they can. The ab
sence of the team lost the home club f 1,000
at least, and if the Clevelands had stopped
here the players would have lost a benefit
at home. It is likely that an effort will be
made to have the team fined, although the
"Washington club has not yet been fined for
leaving the field here.
The victory yesterday puts the local team
once more into third place and they will
have to hustle to keep it. Last evening the
team left lor Cincinnati, where they will
play to-day and Saturday. Baldwin will
likely pitch to-day.
Umpire Gaffney, before going to the
grounds, was very undecided as to what
coarse to pursue. The Cleveland club
hau wired him that the team could not play
here yesterday and be in Louisville on time
to piay to-day. The umpire looked up the
railroad schedule and found that the Cleve
lands could have played here yesterday and
be in Louisville on time to-day. He, there
fore, resolved to give the geme to Pittsburg.
Baltimore, 9 New York, 4.
NewYouk, Oct. 12. The Giants wore not
playing hniuor to-day, and theyclosod the
season at the Polo Grounds with a defeat.

Vondy and the Bunt.
ST. Louis, Gst. 12. Special. "I think that
the bunt, or sacrifice hit, will bo abolished
next season," scys President Yon dor. Alio.
"While it is a scientific play and appreci-
ated by those who ndmiro the fine points of
the game, ths public at large docs not want
it. What they want to seo is lively hard
bitting, and plenty of it. I have seen even
as popular a player as Latham, one of tlie
first and beat, of sacrifice bitters, hissed bo-
I cause he bunted the ball, sacrificed and Rot
u man in second in every vi.v m mu
League the patrons object to the bunt Jilt.
As the public docs not want it, why should
we force it on them any more than a the
atrical manager should try to make them
stomach a play they don't wantT"

JAMES J.'S LATEST.
Ho Won't Meet Fitzsimmons and Still Talks
About Charley MitchclL
Scraxto Oo". 12. James J. Corbett, when
questioned here to-day about the statement
that Fitzsimmons has said that he wauts to
meet the champion, answored that ho would
not discuss the man, as Fitzsimmons is not
in his class. Neither would he discuss
Goddard and his manifesto, for lie has no
claim upon the championship in any way.
"When 1 get ready to tight," said Corbett
"I will put up my money and dare Mitchell
to cover it: if he llocs not, then I will meet
anj- man in tho world, Jackson preferred.
Barring myself, I believe Jackson to be the
best man above ground. I think that I can
lick him and bellevo that I fairly did so
when I met him betore."
"How about Sullivan t"
"I don't believe that John wants to meet
me. I don't believe he ever said he did. If
ho does he doesn't need money for a forfeit,
I will fight him for the purse which any club
will otTcr."
The champion says that he likes acting
very well, but he is greatly annoyed by the
crowds which run after him. "I cannot walk
out upon tho streets like another man," he
complains. "I have to remain cooped up in
my loom or at tlie theater."

eeems to follow In tho wake of tho Yale foot
ball eleven. It is now assured that .two
morepiomlsing candidates for the 'varsity
team will bo obliged to discontinue practice
during the remainder of the present season.
They are Cross and Coxe.
Cioss is the fieshman from the Groton
school, who lia's been playing such a plucky
game at right guard that his chances were
considered of the best for dropping into that
posltiqn. before tho championship fames.
His father is opposed to the game us played
at colleges, and has absolutely forbidden
his son to take part in the contest at Yale.
Coxe has played but threo days this year.
He and Cochrano were having a pretty race
lor the vacant position "of right end rush,
with the chances slightly in Coxo's favor,
when he in mod his neck last week, and it
has grown woise ever since. The physi
cian in attendance savs the wrench is too
severe to admit of his playing any more
this year.
Wallace, '89, arrived Monday and coached
the team thut'iilternodn, giving special at
tention to the ends. Tho feature of the
practice the past two or threo days has been
the clever work done by Jenkins, a Junior,
who received his preliminary training at
Harvard. Ho is putting up a brilliant game
as guard on tno second eleven, and the ap
pearances indicate that he will be put on
the 'varsity team in a few days.

A holiday crowd of 15,000 turf lovers made
this a memorable day's racing. They
packed the betting stands so densely that
the regulars were unable to place their bets
without being forced,to fight their way to
the bookmakers Beautiful weather and a
fast track were the opening favorable feat
tures. The expected meeting between
Lamplighter and Montana did not take
place. The former started lor the first race
at 1 to 10, but only won after a tussle with
St. Felix, the 10 to 1 second choice. Fairy
proved herself a great sprinter by shoulder
ing 137 pounds and winning the second race
at five furlongs in galloping style in :58)
She was first choice at 5 to 2.
Yemen was easily the best of
those in the third race, and after
being made an even-money favorite won
in the same style and in the same time as
Fairy. Garrison was given the mount on
the Annie F. colt, and the talent made
her an even-monev favorite. The colt won,
but only after a desperate struggle, with

A DASTARDLY THICK.
A racing Horse Poisoned to Death to Hob
the Public
Philadelphia, Oct. 12 One of the most fla
grant cases of attompted swindling that has
over been tried at a trotting meeting in this
vicinity was exposed to-day at Point Broezo
by tho death on tho race track of the doc
tored horse. Two heats in the 2:22 pacing
class were paced yesterday and the gelding
GroverS, the property or William Shanley,
thopropnetorof tho Lewis House at Bing
hit niton, N. Y., was a hot favorito in the
betting. Grover S won one heat yesterday
and captured tho first heat to-day putting
two to his credit. When the horse went
away from the pole In the second heat this
afternoon he had nearly reached the first
quarter when he suddenly fell and when tho
judges reached tho place where ho lay tho
animal was dead.
Suspicion was immediately directed to
Shanley and Joseph A. Lyman, the driver of
the horse. Both men denied having given
the horse anything, but a veterinarian who
was present made a hurrieC autopsy of the
animal's stomach and found traces of poison.
After, a brief consultation, tho judges ex
polled Shanley and Lyman from the tiacks
of tho association forever.
Roll Hollister, aprodnce dealer of Blng
hamton, and a friend of Shonley's was also
expelled as an accessory. If Grover S had
only been stuplfled by the drug instead of
being killed, and had lost tire heat, Shanloy
and his friends would have won between
$,C00 and $5,030.
The second division of the 2:20 trotting
class was won lv Kitty-Frazier, und tho 2:35
class was unfinished. The 'summaries

A DSIVEES' ORGANIZATION.
s .
The PUots of Trotting Horses Combine to
Protect Their Interests.
Lexington, Oct. 12. Special. The Na
tional Drivers' Association was organized
hero Monday nighr, adjourning nt mid
night. Charles Marvin was elected Presi
dent and Crlt Davis Vice President. Other
officers will be elected by a Board of Gover
nors. By-laws und constitution were
adopted.
The Drivers Association is expected to
be one of the most beneficial movements
ever inaugurated among tho trotting horse
men of the country. The Idea is that the
association will embrace in 'its member
nip every respectable driver In the Unltod
States and Canada. The objects or the as
sociation have not been lully defined, but
from interviews with leading drivers it is
learned that many of the abuses Buffered by
drivers at present will bo corrected in so
far as concertod action on their part will
correct. They want more competent men
in the Judges' stand, and they want starters
who will be sufficiently competent to get
tho horses off on as nearly even terms as
possible. They want the right of a lair and
open trial whtn charged with fraud, finally,
they want to elevate tho profession to that
standard which Its merits warrant.

'neither man wins.
J. E. Pepper will not retire from the turf.
He
has 30 yearling, in training at Lexington.
Constant Reaper Kllraln was. on a techni

II. T. JOHNSTON, manager of the High School
football team, writes this paper saying that his

There Is no prospect of a meeting this season
between Lamplighter and Tammany. Matt Byrnes
dec. ares that lie will not under any circumstances
send Tammany to the post until next year. The
colt Is expected to win the Suburban of 1S)3.
TnAT 1250 fine Imposed on Doc Street because
Jockey Pen u refused to parade Mr. Sass has been
reduced to $50, which is $50 loo much, inasmuch as
Pcnn has twice failed to parade Anna B, and yes
terday he went to the post without performing that
office with Rainbow, on none of those occasions
have Messrs. J. A. and A. II. Morris been hned
12o0orcven 50. It looks as If the Judges atMorr.s
Park are afraid to tine the Messrs. Morris because
they own the race track.

From Bev. Dr. David McAllister.
Yon may lemember that you put into my
parlor over three years ago one of your Con
over pianos' and tested it side by side with
one of the highest-priced instruments made.
On the basis of that test I purchased the
Conover piano. That decision Ims been
fully Justified' by nearly four years' use or
the instrument. The points which commend
this piano to careful purchasers are thcc:
1. Its purity and sweetnens of tone. 2. Its
combination of power with sweetness. 3.
Its fine mechanical adjustment of kevsfor
ease and precision of execution. 4. Its ca
pacity for remaining long in tune. Only an
instrument of lirst-clnss make will stand
this test. 5. Tho exrollcnco or its frame,
resisting oven Pittsburg'. and Allegheny's
try'"S Kus fires. This helps to account for
tho length of t'nie it will remain in time.
