THE WEATHER
BARKIS Is WILLlY.

Barney 8sksana Profeasey n he WIIllnw
to Make the Race,
The Mayoralty question is still one which
is setting the politicians on each side guess
ing over the possible results. The Demo-
Gratis who favor Judge Bailev's candidacy
are still enthusiastic over a possible break
on the Republican side, while those who
are on the inside, or claim to be, say that
the Judge will not be in the field. A mem
Der OF the latter suggested to a DIsP ATcH
reporter that it would be we'll To see Alder
man MeKenna, who was the former eandi-
date, and learn what his views were on the
subject. He was at first reluctant to sneak.
but finally said:
81 am not of course to he regarded a. a
candidate and have got, as you can under
stand, certain delieacy in speaking on the
subject as long as Judge Bailey is on the
track, but am in the place of one whose
friends have pressed him to become the

put in the position OF wishing Judge Bailey
to retire, as win support him if he is the
nominee, but if he is out Of the race think
from the pledges that have been made by the
people might go into the contest"
A few minutes after Judge McKenna had
been spoken to, 7. O'Leary, Jr., was met
and said:
''I am in favor Of the party nominee. I
worked for Mr.. McKenna last time, and if
he is nominated this time / shall work for
him. / must say this, however, that il is
impolitic to run a beaten horse for an Office.
Still am with the nominee of the eonven-
ton. 1 think that Judge Bailey will get
the nomination"

VERY NOVEL BASEBALL.
Principal Mccullough Introduces the Gnme
to Public Schools.

There is not much fear of the love of base
ball being lost among Pittsburgers. 1t is being
instilled into the minds of the public school
pupils in very novel way. The new and
unique system of baseball spelling contests"
can probably best be explained in the words of
W. NJ. Mccullough, principal Of the Stevens
school, Thirty-sixth ward. He is the originator
of the plan. Yesterday afternoon he said to
the writer:
"Oh, yes, we have baseball of our own
in school now. Here is our system. Two cap
tains are appointed and they pick their respec-
tive teams of nine each. On Friday we had
the Chicagos and the PIttsburgs, and the latter
went first to bat. The 'batsman' who mis-
spelled word was out, and in the very first
inning Pittsburg had II men at bat, that is. out
of the IL tries there were three failures, which
retired the side and then Chicago got an
inning. In the third inning the Pittsburgs
scored "a, having 81 men at bat. And SO the
game went on. The total score of the Pitts
burgs was 1l9. and that of Chicago 60. The
system is simple and it is exciting for children,
and in a short time We'll have these baseball
contests between mines of different schools.
The full nine innings are played and of course
a bad player, that is speler, is soon released by
the captain. On Friday following were the re-
suits, the errors. as misspelled words constitu-
ting the outs, and the runs, as words rightly
spelled constituting the scores."-

TIE RIVER PATROL.
An Ordinance VIII be Introduced nj the
Next ConncII MeetInR.


Next Council Meeting.
The suggestions of Coroner Mcdowell
relative to the establishment Of river
police patrol. as published in The DIS
PATCH Yesterday, promises early fruition.
The idea meets with hearty approval, both
from Courcilmen and from officials of the
Department of Public Safety. The ordi-
nance was prepared yesterday, and will on
Monday afternoon be presented to Common
Council BY Mr.. Mark Donley, OF the TWen-
ty-fourth ward:
1t provides for police and fire patrol boat
for service upon the Monongahela, Ohio
and Allegheny rivers under the control and
direction of the Department of Public
Safety.
"The department shall procure, or have
built, a steamboat suitable to navigate the
rivers, provided with all necessary appli-
anees and paraphernalis to put out fires
and perform police duties, and also have all
necessary appliances for the dragging of the
said rivers for the recovery OF the bodies of
all drowned persons.
'That the Chief of the Department of Pub
lie Safety be authorized and empowered to
formulate suitable rules and regulations for
the proper government of the same"
Such boats are in use in nearly all Of the
large cities, and have proven to be of great
service in putting out fires along the river
fronts. New York. Cleveland and Chicago
have them. In Chicago there are two. The
fremen and policemen put aboard are men
who have seen service on the lakes or rivers
before entering the service of the city, and
understand all the demands Of their peculiar
work. The boats are fitted with immense
water nozzles, which throw a stream six
inches in diameter to great distance. Their
supply of water is ample at all times, and
they are not hampered by the capacity Of
plug with only a certain amount OF
pressure.
As to the recovery of drowned people,
there are now seven bodies in the rivers at
this place. Two boys were drowned in the
river of Fifteenth street short time ago,
and have not been recovered. Then there
are the bodies Of the two eolored men
drowned off Wood street last Wednesday
morning, and the bodies of the three men
drowned near Woods Landing on Friday
night.
About a year ago Chief Brown, Of the
Department Of Public Safety, urged the
procurement of freboat and the establish
ment of a fire and police service on the
river. Hehad investigated the workings Of
such service in other cities, and was fully
persuaded Of the needs of this city for such
an arm Of the department..
Inspector McAleese, in. conversation last
evening. said: 1--WE have about Is miles of
river front in Pittsburg, which ought to be
protected in the manner provided for by the
proposed ordinance. The scheme is an ex-
cellent one, and will receive the support OF
the department am quite sure. Pittsburg
is away behind other cities in such service. !"

QUOT CONTEST.
McKeespOrt Champion Defeats an Expert
From Suter.


John Jinks. the McKeesport quoit pitcher,
defeated Charles Carman, the Suter pitcher,
yesterday afternoon in the best match that
ever took place there. The contest occurred at
the baseball park, and was witnessed by fully
1000 persons. Money was offered recklessIy,
and was taken every instance. Three hundred
Suter people came to the city to see it, and
came prepared to back Carman, and as a con-
sequence went back home last night with sad
hearts and minus anywhere from $500 to
$1,000. Jinks defeated Carman 8 points
in a game Of 81 points, the score
being 81 to 81. Quoits weighing ~
pounds were used, and the pegs were
set 80 feet apart in clay ends. The
contest was lengthy one and deeply interest
ing. This is the second out OF three games
pitched by these men that jerks has won. In
the first Carman gave him 10 points and he won
by 20 points; Carman beat him by points in
the second game, and jerks put the same up
on him yesterday. 1t is generally concluded
that jerks is the best man, but the Carman
people desire another match for the same
amount SlOO, and will get it whenever it is de-
sired. After the above a 100-yard dash for S25
a side was INDUCED in by George Wallace and
James Reese, two sprinters, and was won by
Reese by yard and half.

the audiences have been small. The men have
been challenging all corners, and knockout

were of very moderate caliber, with one ex-
ception, and that was when Jem Young, OF
Mile End, opposed Jem Smith. Young seemed
to be having the best Of it, and was undoubt-
edly the fresher in the third round, when he
gave in. The audience, looking upon it as q
put-up job, hissed vigorously.

GLAssCOCK,s LITTLE SPEECH.
He Tells Why He VIII Stick to the National
LeaEue.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.,
WASHINGTON, November 2S-Jack Glass
cock, the great and only Hoosier shortstop, is
n town on baseball business. He has really
come here to negotiate with Paul Hines for
League contract for 1890 and also to talk over
the baseball situation, which at present is ex-
treluely interesting, with President Young, of
the League. When an effort was made to get
some inkling as to the prospects for the
national game next year, to the direct question
if he was not out for the League he
replied with smile that he did
not think it was fair to say just now
whether he was or not. He would like 80 days
notice, he added. Paul Hines was waiting for
him, and the two players went up the street
headed for the Office of the League magnate.
Glasscock practically admitted that he was out
of sorts with the Brotherhood, and based his
objections on several grounds In the first
place he said the affair is called Brother
hood League" whereas the managers are strlv-
ing everywhere to fill up the ranks with men
who are not Brotherhood players from the
American Association and from every possible
source, while men in good standing in the or
ganizatlon are being showed aside to make
room. He cited the case of Con DAILY, who, he
said, had to step down and out to give way for
a man like Milhgan.
',If I was not good player" said Jack,
"they would not have anything to do with me,
but since 1 am, and since l want to see fair
play. and don't want to sign any sort of con-
tract they may see Mt to send me, they call me
a traitor I don't care whether they call me
that or not All want is good position and
an assured salary. They send me contract to
play with them for three years for a certain
sum. If sign it am bound, hand and foot; if
1 save a little money the first year. and want to
put it in stock in the concern the second year.
they have the right to freeze me out. This con-
tract of theirs is practically classification and
they can't get out of it. And then, too, it might
be different if the salary was assured, but it Is
not. l am not going to put my name down to
an uncertainty"
Glasscock's main ground of objection, how
ever, seemed to be tho Importation into the
Brotherhood ranks of outsiders like Staley.
Milligan Tucker and Kilroy. He will probably
leave town with his signature secured to a con-
tract to play ball in Indianapolis il the Ma
tional League in 1880.

GAUDAUR's VERSION.
The St. Louis Rover Talks About the Nc
Keesport Swindle.


ST. LOUIS, November 23-Jacob Gaudaur,
the oarsman, has issued card in reply to the
statement of his former backer about his con-
nection with the recent McKeesport fake. He
says:
Gas far as the Teemer race is concerned, Il can
saw that Teemer was beaten on his merits. 1
do not deny that he made the proposition that
I was to win, but that had nothing to do with
Mr.. st. John, and did not prevent me from
training harder than I did for any race. 1
rowed three miles in Is minutes and AZ seconds,
and Teemer cannot approach that time. Teemer
knows as well as anyone that he was not fouled
by Hamm. L don't think Teemer ever saw
Hamm during the race.
IsTeemer has had a score Of hackers who
have dropped him on account Of his dishonest
actions I have followed aquatics for ten
years and during that time have had but two
backers-Mr Richard Disette, of Toronto, and
MI. ST. John. 1 ask them to show anything
unfair and dishonest in my dealings with them.
Mr. St John has been q good friend to me and
all oarsmen. When Teemer could get no back
/ ing to row O'Connor, last fall, Mr.. st. John
furnished half the stakes. Now. Teemer turns
on ST. John and ISLANDERS him. deeply regret
that Mr.. St. John feels compelled to retire from
rowing. as the sport will lose warm sup
porter"

believe that the players would at least confer
with the magnates before breaking up all con-
nections. Had this conference taken place
the case of the players would have been much
better and stronger to-day. The point in the
League address relating to this feature is,
therefore, one of the strongest.

BIDDING FOR DETROIT.
Cleveland Has an Eye on the International
Champions.
ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.i

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHJ
CLEVELAND, November 23.-Negotiations
are now in progress looking TO the transfer of
the Detroit team to this city to represent Cleve-
land in the League next year. The Detroits
won the championship of the International AS
sociation last year. and are, without doubt, one
of the strongest minor league teams in the coun-
try. With some of the players of last years
League team, that will undoubtedly sign with
Cleveland, it would make one of the strongest
this city.
The report sent out that thinner had signed
Brotherhood contract is absolutely without
any foundation! He not only has not signed
one, but refuses to do so, 1t is not improbable
that he will be found with the League club
another year.
