DON'T WANT AN INCREASE.
The Brickmnkers' New scale Will be the
Same ms the Present One.

The Brickmnkers' New scale Will be the
same the Present One.
The knights of Labor brickmakers will not
demand an increase of 25 cents per day in all
union yards. This was decided upon at the
meeting last night. The new scale will be pre-
sented this morning for signatures and it is not
at all likely that there will be any objection.
The following is the scale decided upon:
Strikers-off, So 80; wheelers, 81 so; molders
50 80; settlers, 81 so: bankmen, 81 90; bumpers
81 90, and sanders, 81 IS per day. These figures
are the same as the present scale and will take
effect to-day. 1t was reported at the meeting
that 25 yards in both cities are ROW organized
and there would be no trouble over the scale.
The reason the 25 cents of an advance was not
put in the scale was on acc cunt of the condi-
ton of trade. Last year the men received an
advance of 25 cents, and they were content to
let well enough alone.

PALMER O'NEIL In TOWN.
The Local Director Says a Few Words on
Baseball Affairs.

Director ]. Palmer O'Neil, of the local
League, was in the city yesterday He was on
his way from New York to Chicago. He had
not much to say about baseball affairs, but
found time to say:
There mas been great change of feeling in
New York regarding the baseball situation,
Since Mr.. Day has leased the Polo Grounds for
five years. and secured a frst-class team. all
the followers of the old club there are with
him. He has a better team than the PLAYERS:
League team is, and that is the general opinion
in New York. The truth is If we examine all
the Players League teams in the country we
will not find a thoroughly powerful one among
them.
u think the Players League schedule will be
changed. That League won't live long at any
rate. but bv changing its schedule certainly
think it will have a better chance to get along
No doubt il would be good business stroke TO
change It"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-04-01
THEY STAND UNREFUTED.
The Arguments About n Change of Schedule
Still Untouched.

The interview with Manager Hanlon, pub
iished in this paper yesterday, caused consid-
cradle talk among baseball people. The state
ment at first sight caused the customary con-
clusion-that is the one that is attained with
out thought, to prompt many to shout out
something about weakening" and ''Dacking
down." "cowardice," etc. These cries pre-
vailed on better thought to the extent that
several of the directors of the new local club
who have all along been wishing for no coflIct-
ing dates. haven't nerve enough to defend a
principle of good business and, therefore, of
successful warfare. but turned over to those
people who have not a dollar invested IN the
business, but who sometimes can CRY wolf
when no wolf is near the sheep.
John Tener, who leaves this evening to at
tend the New York meeting tomorrow will
support the popular cry, limited, that is: "War
TO the knife" 1t is understood that he is going
to vote against a change of schedule. The fact
is that almost every director and good friend
of the local new club knows that its best and
most successful move is to have
change Of schedule. Outside of a childish
sentiment there is no fact or argument that can
be urged against a change. The arguments of
Manager Hanlon published in this paper YES
terday, so far stand unrefuted.

Under the head of Better Than the Old
Scale" an item in the labor column on Sunday
stated that the roller in the 23-inch mill at Car
negie's Homestead works would under the new
scale receive 81 rs per day, instead of s6 60 The
item erred in this direction as there Is no fixed
salary for rollers. The roller is tonnage man,
and under the new scale receives about SO cents
per ton on basis of s34 per ton on billets. The
old scale called for AZ cents per ton.

A SOUTHSIDE SENSATION.
An Enraged, Husband Chases His Wlfe's
Escort Up Carson Street.

Escort Up Carson Street.
Considerable commotion was caused about 10
o'clock last night on South Fifteenth street by
loud cries of "Stop thief" A man was seen
chasing another along that thoroughfare. A
crowd soon joined in the pursuit, but the pur-
sued party darted into convenient alleyway
and escaped. The cause of all this excitement
was that William Lyons. Breed street resi-
dent, had discovered his wife parading the
streets with another man.
The enraged husband placed the companion
of his wife under arrest and was taking him to
the Twenty-eghth ward station, when the man,
who said his name was Davis broke away from
him and managed to escape.

THE OLD LEAGUE CLUB,
Very Bad Weather Threatens the Exhibition
Contests This Week.

Ii this inclement weather continues, Sir GUY
and his youngsters and oldsters will not get out
to do battle this week. The colts, and some of
them would be classed beyond the mark of
colts in many places, were ont yesterday and
the infield were on the bases. Youngman, the
new local second baseman, showed up well; he
performed well.
No doubt Manager Hecker has some good
and promising young players, and they are
worthy of patronizing. Many of them have
mad long experience in baseball playing and
are by no means green hands" If Dunlap
comes here Sir Guy will have a more than
average lnfeld. He has an excellent outfield,
ana probably the baseball public will discover
that 1act before the season ends. Sowders and
probably the ever popular Billy Sunday Will be
here to-day.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrkrcHI

rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHl
WILKESBARRE, PA, March SL.-Dan
O'Donnell, of Scranton, and James jackson
(colored), OF this city, fought for the light
weight championship of Northeastern Penn
sylvania. in testers Club rooms, this after
noon. O'Donnell started in aggressiyely,
knocking his man down in the first round
and drawing blood in the second. During
the rest of the fight jackson was the best
man. He knocked his opponent all over
the ring. In the eleventh round O'Donnell
was sent sprawlIng on his back. 1t is
alleged that jackson struck him while
down. Foul was claimed but not allowed.
O'DonneIl refused to go on with the fight and
jackson was declared the winner.
wELL-KNowN MEN.
Both contestants are well known throughout
the Eastern part of the State. Many patrons
of the ring have heretofore claimed that Jack
son was the best colored man of his weight in
America. To-day's battle was in many respects
to test him for a contest with a national cham
pion. The result shows that Jackson is clever
little fellow and pugilist that will make his
mark. From beginning to end of the battle it
was fierce. Both men were punished severely
and at the end of the fourth round it was
thought that neither man would last another
round.
SCIENCE HAD THE EFFECT.
"O'Donnell was the heavier man and he used
his strength aggressively in the beginning of
the fight and Jackson used his science. The
fight was of the brutal kind because both men
were prepared to take all punishment they
could stand. Jackson now claims the light
weight championship of Pennsylvania. The
claim of foul is not acknowled by any authority
present
There are several fights pending in this dis
trict and almost every contestant claims to be
a champion. There are two or three good COL
ored young men here and several middle-weight
white fighters. Out of the latter there is cer-
tainlv one good man whose name will one OF
these days be mentioned publicly. But if an
investigation took place by an enterprislng
speculator he would find some good men here.

The inability to get competent workmen is
what compelled the company to effect a settle
