GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Homewood Driving Tark Associa
tion was held yesterday and the directors
lor the next 12 months elected. It is some
time since such a pleasant and satisfactory
meeting has been held iu connection with
this association. Evcrjbody was happy
over tbe management and the results of the
season.
The report of Secretary McCracken was
decidedly satisfactory, as lie pointed out
that the financial balance for the year was
heavily on the right side.
The following Hoard or Directors was
elected unanimous!: T. E. Kerr, G. T.
Haflcrty, L & Gunnicgham, J. A. Mc
Cracken, J. 15. Hvndn-an, II. Darlington,
T. M. Marshall, Jr., J. K. Lauahan and
Charles Donnelly. As will be seen, the
beard is a thoroughly representative one of
the business interests if Pittsburg, and
carh member is a very prominent citizen.
It is certain that when the directors meet
they will again appoint Captain Kerr Pres
ident, an office he has filled very well for
several years.
Speaking of the association's affairs
after the meeting Secretary McCracken
said: 'Ve are all well satisfied with the
season's showing although bad weather in
terfered considerably with onr fall meeting.
Oar summer meeting was the best in the
grand circuit nnd we made a good profit.
Our association is in excellent condition
now and I think that in 12 months' time it
will be 50 per cent better. We have great
intentions lor next ear and if things go as
w e anticipate we will have the best racing
next season in this citv ever seen in Penn
sylvania. We have the confidence of the
horsemen and the public, because any
purse we advertise is genuine. "We in
tend to stick to this principle at all
hazards.
"Pittsburg is a racing community and
owners of good horses know it; they are,
therefore, always ready to come here. Oar
stakes and purses next season will likely be
bigger than they ever ha e been, and it may
be that we will bare a sensational feature
or two at our summer meeting. It is also
our intention to ghe greater inducements
than ever for local horsemen to race their
horses. There will be more stables of
horses located at Homewood next year than
ever before, and among the notable addi
tions will be the Adams stable from Youngs
town." THE 2TJNKEBS AT GDTIENBEEG.

A CHICAGO WAIL,
Charges That the Baseball magnates Are
Not Fair Dealing Men.
CnicAoo, Nov. 15. '"or the first time in its
history the National League will holds its
annual meeting in this city. To-morrow,
during the forenoon, tbe Board of DI
l ectors w ill hold a session. The League will
be called upon to settle questions ot the
greatest import. Not slnco tlio eaily '70s
has the game been at so low an ebb.
At the peace meeting in Indianapolis last
winter both Chicago and New Yoik wero
shamefully tieated. The Chicago club ap
plied lor plnvers, but in no case was anv at
tention paid to its demands. New York
wns "rnriiiKl down" in the katiih wiiv. As
a result both Chicago and New York had
poor teams. Owners of winnine teams, like
the Bostons and Clevelands, will make de
cided opposition to parting with anv of their
starplajer. Washington, St. Louis, Balti
more and other cities will make their de
mands Just the same. Since 1890 the League
has paid little attention to playing rules, but
they will be dbcu-sed and probably
amended, especially thoe relative to pitch
in? and battins. It is certain that 13 clubs will
constitute the League next year. The play
ing season, lion ever, will be shortenand the
openinir games will be scheduled for the last
Thursday in April. Tbe talk of separate
Eastern and Western organizations is bosh.
TO-DAY'S BASEBALL MEETING.
The Pittsburg Forfeited Games the First
Matter to Be Discussed.
Chicago, Nov. 15. Special The annual
meeting of the Twelve-Club League mag
nates commences here to-morrow, and the
magnates are arriving. The 12 Uub arrance
ment will be continued, and it is likely that
a new rule will lie made relative to the
pitcher, so as to give the batter a hotter
chance.
The League directors 'will meet to-morrow
morning, and the foifelted games at Pitts
burg will lie the first business for tnem to
dlcuss. The Pittsburg elub demands that
tne Washington and Cleveland clubs each
be fined $1,000, the former for leaving the
field and the latter lor not appearing on it.
AFIEE DIXON AGAIN.
Australian Murphy Wants to Fight
the
Colored Champion for the Title.
New York, Nov. 15. Australian "Billy"
Murpby is after George Dixon, champion
feather-weight of the world. He thinks that
Dixon is afraid of him. lie offers to accom
modate him at 115 pounds, or will fight htm
at 118 pounds lor the leather-weight cham
pionship. It is not the belt hols after but
the money, and he is willing to fight the
cnloted lad lor any reasonable sum that he
may name. He can get down to 115 pounds,
he says, and still be strong.
Murphy is now training for his fight with
Tommy Wbit of Chicago. This fight will
take place in December at the Pacific Ath
letic C ub, san Francisco. On tlio Pacific
coast Murphy is considered one of the most
piomising men to match against Dixon.
WHEBE ABE THET All
That Is What Ohio Republicans Say They
Are Trying to rind Out
Columbus. Nov. 15 special. A meeting
of the Ohio League of Republican Clubs has
been called to convene in this city on Thurs
day next. The most striking feature of the
announcement is the "call on all Republi
cans who have any fight left in them to at
tend tbe meeting as fctattd in the official
call."
"The meeting," said one gentleman, a
member of the organization, "is for the pur
pose ot flndini; out where are we at, what
happened and how it was done." The tneet
Imr will ptobaDly be held at the Lincoln
Club rooms. Arrangements for the annual
Lincoln banquet will also be made at this
session.
The Princetons Still Hopeful.
FriiiCetos; Nov. 15. The Princeton eleven
had some or the best coaching of the season
to-day by Bird, '84; Buck Irvine, Aleck Mof
fatt and Cash. Holly will not play against
Y'ale unless be mends considerably. Piscus,
however, will fill the place ably. Uomans is
now tbe only man who cives the l'rincetoni
ans much concern. He is in bad shape, and
there is no good substitute lor full back
In the college. Every one here is convinced
tnat Pennsylvania was acquainted not only
with the Princeton general style of pLiying,
but with the code or signals ucd in the
game. They do not acoept Saturday's game
as a just criterion of the comparative
strength of Yale and Princeton. Most of the
students here believe that Princeton will
furnish Yale with as close a game Irom line
up to finish as the Quakers put up in tlio last
ten minutes.
A Coming Sprint at Braddock.
Braddock, Nov. 15. Rectal. J Arthur
Farr, of this city, has beon matched to run
a 100-yard race with William Bennett, or
Homextead, on the afternoon of Saturday,
December 10. Forfeits ot $100 n side have
been posted, and the stakes ill be $300, to
remain open until the day ot the racu so
that either party may raise them to $500 if
desired at anv time prior to the start. The
latter bum nill piobably be posted.

boys expected a win of 30 points to 0 for Yale. He
tafit: "We thluk that Yale's line Is an exception

don't care to say what weak points we expect to
score on, for we may not be able to score at all; we
cap only try hard."

HACKING AT ASSESSORS.
9
Three Appeals on Their Valuations Investi
gated Conflict of Opinion as to Worth.
of Downtown Lots Details Consume
Time and Slow Progress Made.
The attorneys in the city aisessment suits
got down to business yesterday, but so much
detail was followed in the examination of
witnesses that oaly three appeals were
taken up. Commissioner Beat called the
meeting in City Hall to order at 11 o'clock
and it continued until nearly 6 in the even
ing. Paul Hacke's appeal was the first, being
on the question of valuation. His property
on Market street is assessed at the rate of
$3,300 per front foot; with buildings and all
theTaiuation is fixed at 437,080. On the
witness stand Mr. Hacke was asked to fix
the actual cash value of the ground. For
reply he said the lot adjoining them on
Market street had been sold to David
Gregg at J2.700 a front foot, and he valued
his at the same figure, ad'ling 10 per cent
lor the corner lot. He thought Jots on Fifth
avenue were no more valuable than his
Market street property. He declined to
fix a selling price on his property, saying
he had no desire to retire from business.
D. P. Eeighard, in support of Mr.
Hacke's anneal, testified that he had pur
chased the Schmertz property on Fifth ave
nue for $145,000, with the intention of
building a large modern building block
thereon. The lot is 2Jx240 feet, with a
four-story brick building. He was willing
to sell it'at that figure, adding taxes and
other expenses incurred since the purchase.
Clerk itafTerty, of the Assessor's office, in
rebuttal, testified that he knew of 54,000 a
foot being offered for ground in the vicinity
of the Hacke and Keighard lots. E. S.
Guthrie, owner ot a lot at Filth avenue and
Master's alley, testified he had paid $50,000
for 21x33 feet last spring.
The appeal of John B. & A. Murdoch was
next taken up. Their property. 19x60, is at
No. 508 Smithfield street, aud was valued at
52,500 per foot front. George Kappel did
not think this above the Jeal value and P.
E Zoch considered the property worth at
least that, if not more. Messrs. Murdoch
were not present. City Attorney Carna
han asked tor them, but their attorney
refused to produce his clients,
saying if Mr. Carnafaan wanted
the gentlemen he could issue a
subpoena. James P. Quinn's appeal was
next He appeals on the assessment of
four pieces of property on Fifth avenue,
between Grant and "Wylie, at Fifth and
Grant and on Grant between Fifth and
Webster. The balance of the session was
consumed in examination of the books ot
the assessors to show thev had originally
assessed Mr. Quinn $115,000, had then re
duced it to $101,200 and then increased it to
$104,000. The hearing closed with this
case unfinished.
TWO M'DONALD DUSTERS.
One Is in the rife Fool, and the Other
Northeast of the Melse Both Are in
the Fifth Sand Some Oil in a McCurdy
Wen.
There was another duster placed to the
credit of the McDonald field yesterday in
the rapidly growing list It is iu the old
Fife pool, which has produced only a couple
of fair croducers, and nearly a dozen dry
boles.
The failure of yosterday is known as the
No. 2 Walker, and belongs to Lentz, Sctileg
le & Co.
The Scott No. 2, of the Woodland Oil Com
pany, is the only good well which has been
drilled iu recently, and it comes like a ray of
sunshine on a dieary day to the operators in
McDonald, who have been hearing of noth
ing but dusters lately, and had almost come
10 believe that the teitilityof the field was
ludeed a thing or the past.
In the same nart of the field In which the
Woodland's well is located Knox Bios. & Co.
expect to drill their 2s o. 2, on the Scott litrm,
Into the fifth stud to-day. It Is located
about t o miles due southwest of McDonald
and southwest or tlio Woodland's well.
The Tidal Oil Company's No. 3, on the
Marshall larni, 1,500 feet couth ot Nobles
town, was expected to get the fifth sand at a
lute hour last evening.
The Foret Oil Company's No. 1 on the
Robert Wallace larm, which is located half
u.mllo northeast of the bit Goidon sand wells
in the Meie hohow, was repoi ted j esterday
to be almost through the filth sand and dry.
It was dry in tbe Gordon also. This would
seem to be a thorough test ot the pool in a
northeasterly direction, una consequently
no more wells will likely be started iu that
vicinity.
The Philadelphia Company's well, on the
Mai tin Clever furui, is iu the bottom of the
Kirth sand, aud shut down on account of a
bteak in the machinery. Tankage has been
ordered, and the owners confidently ex
pect that they will yet get a producer. It is
i.OOOfeet north of west limn the Foiest Oil
j Company's big Clever well.
One venture Showing Ull.
The only thing that was reported yester
day as in any way resembling a well was at
the Forest Oil Company's test on the A. P.
Clever faim, which they have been drilling
down to the rllth sand. When eight feet in
that formation the hole suddenly filled with
oil. The sand above that point had been
hard and dry, and they had slight hopes of
getting u pioducer.
In the Cnaitieis district Greenlee & Forst
ate in the i0 )-foot aand.nt No. 1 Bough, and
are dow u 1 5'M leet in No. 2.
Down southwest or the Meise pool Green
lee & Ilnrtman'a No. 1 Potter Is still makinir
neail SOJbarielsa dav trom the Gordon:
No. 2 Putter Is down 1,050 leet, and No. 3, 900
iect
They are starting a rig on the Shaner
faim, a mile south of the Potter larm, and
about 1,100 leet north of the Florence Oil
Company's well on the Miller, which is mak
ing HO bni rels a day from the ioui th sand.
Greenlee & Forst's No. 1 Woods near
Giegg station, In which some gas was de
veloped in the 109 toot sand, is down 1,800
feet. Their No. 2 Oak Bidge is drilling at
1.20J feet and No. 1 Aiken, iu McCurdy, is 300
leet deep.
Trouble With Undorcllrr Wells.
Ukdercliff Patterson Jt Sohn's No. 1
Zncl.er la in the top or tlio 30-foot and shut
down. They expect to reach the third sand
this week in their L'rhinentrout well. A
little gas and oil from the 30-fooc has been
delaying them greatly.

High winds, rain or (If cold enough) snow, south

WHAT A LITTLE WILL DO
A Few Suggestions as to the Great Effects of
Little Things.
A little care will save you much annoyance.
A little neglect of some simple duty may
lead to a disaster which would Impair your
life.
A little kindness to a fellow creature may
cause yon little effort and may result in un
told good.
A little attention to the riant thing at the
right time may result in great things to yon
at the proper time.
A little chill may seem trifling, but it may
be the flrst symptom of pneumonia, possibly
ofdeath.
A little prompt attention when you flrst
feel chilly, is by nil means the thing you
should do, and do at once.
A little pure medicinal stimulant taken
promptly will drive away the chill, restore
the circulation and warm the blood.
A little reflection will show you that only
n pure, medicinal stimulant will answer and
that there is but one, which is Duffy's Pnre
Malt Whiskey.
A little firmness when tho druggist or
crocor tries to sell you some so-called whis
key which has no merit, will save you much
annoyance and perhaps preserve your
health.
A little constant use of this puro medicinal
stimulant will tend to help your health and
keep you In a condition to resist tbe sudden
changes of the season. wed

TRUTH wins every time. A
plain, truthful advertisement
is so rare an article that when
discovered it ought to com
mand a premium.
THE newspapers fairly groan
under the weight of bold, base
fabrications.
BRAGGADOCIO, bombast,
bosh and bluster are plentiful
in this glorious Nineteenth
Cettiury. Why, the ordinary
clothing advertisement is
enough to paralyze the aver
age American citizen. How
ever, be this as it may, we
have not yet lost faith in
