CLOSE OF THE DEAL.
Cincinnati at Last in the Hands OF
the Players League.
THE CLUB AT ONCE kEORGANIZED.
A Little Difficulty Found in Signing Some
of the Artists.
AL JOHNSON CHOSEN AS PRESIDENT

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
CINCINNATI, October 4.-Cincinati has
struck its colors. The deal has been COM
pleted in all save few minor details and
the advance guard of the Brotherhood have
surrendered the purse which has served to
make Messrs. Stern and Sterne march into
retirement. The deal which commenced in
a spirit of bluff of Ward of threatened in
vasion OF the Cincinnati's territory by the
Brotherhood resulted in an end that cer-
tainly proved surprising to half the Cincinnati
enthusiasts. twas like pulling teeth to get
three players in line.
McPhee was under personal contract to
President Stern for three years. but he baked
and wanted slice of the $40 0O0 in the way of
additional salary to consent to transfer of
that obligation to the Brotherhood. He was
offered $500 to consent, but he took his own
time to consider. Reilly and Mullane were also
obdurate and the morning session was fruit
less 1t rained hard in the afternoon and the
last League game couldn't be played. That
to the trio of players Everything seemed all
right, and Secretary Stern was signing Reilly.
Then the little President of the Cincinnatis ex-
claimed: "Nicht schreiben." The contract
was jerked from Reilly's hand and the official
declared: Come on: am tired of fooling; the
deal is off,
But it, was not. Secretary Brunell met the
charges that were hurled at him by warm re-
torts The storm of words did not last long.
From the Burnett House the whole delega-
tions. armed with umbrellas, proceeded to the
Office to Vice President Louis Cramer. where
the legal transfer was made. Ex-Assistant
United States District Attorney John E. Bruce
acted as counselor tor the Brotherhood, and
he has been installed as their attorney in Gin
cnnati. Director Talcott and Johnson repre-
sented the Players League at the transfer,
while the President and Secretary took care of
their owu interests.
Manager LOTUS will continue in charge of
the team. and the present intention is to make
him business manager as well. Only two of
the Brotherhood teams are to be run in here
for exhibition games, the Clevelands and the
Philadelphias. There is possibility of Pitts
burg being sent on later. 1t is too soon to
speak of changes for 1891, but Hoy and Mack
are two men who are promised. Eight of the
old Reds have been signed. They are: Har-
rIngton, Rhines, Reilly, McPbee, Mullane,
Mari, Holiday and Latham. The new club at
once organized by electing A. L. johnson,
President; E. B. Talcott Vice President: F.
H. Brunnell, Secretary and Treasurer. and
John M. Ward and John L. Bruce, Directors.
Cleveland will play here on Monday. In addi-
tion to the price paid. $4,000 the Players
League gave an indemnity bond and will take
up all contracts. That included Foreman and
Duryea.

The baseball championship season of 1890

The baseball championship season of 1890
was brought to termination in Pittsburg
Yesterday by two games between the home
and Boston P L. clubs at Exposition Park.
The weather was excellent, and that fact had
an influence in inducing 1900 people to see
the windup. The contests were not OF a
very high standard, but at times there was
considerable enthusiasm displayed, and a
very large amount ofkicking by the players
against the umpires Tom Brown was
prominent in this respect, and he used some
very strong language to Umpire Holbert-
language that in the halcyon days of baseball
would not have been tolerated Some hood
lums among the spectators also yelled out some
very ugly epithets to the umpires.
The first game was victory for the home
players and it was won on its merits. Hanlon
was still too indisposed to play and Fields
played in center field. DAILY was in the box for
the visitors and he was touched up at quite a
merry rate. The local talent thumped the ball
in all directions and at one time Nash, the
third baseman. renewed DAILY and pitched three
or four balls. In the seventh inning Murphy
was injured while trying to put Quinn out at the
plate. The injured catcher was replaced by
SWEET, but the latter's work did not at all
figure in the score. The game was, indeed. an
exciting one up to the seventh inning when the
home players MADE six runs. Four hits were
made including Visner's home run TO left field.
Quinn's triple right and singles by Beckley
and Kuehne. There were also three bases on
balls in the inning a sacrifice hit by Fields,
two errors by Murphy and one by Gumbert.
This inning settled the game. In the ninth in
ming Carroll made splendid three-bagger to
left hut he failed to touch second base and was
declared out Maui was also hit quite lively,
but the hits were not long ones
The second game was close up TO the fifth
inning, when the champions let themselves
loose and walked off with the lead. Tener and
Gumbert, the two East Enders were th.
pitchers. Secretary John was not in his best
form. being very unsteady. Gumbert pitched
very well, but had very poor support. In the
fifth inning. after two men were out, Richard
son and Nash each made three-bagger and
Quinn followed with a double. Outside of this
inning there were no special features. The
score:

NIRON-wORKER'sT TESTIMONY
In FAVOR OF DR.. BYERs' METHOD OF TREAT
MENT-A DESCRIPTION OF THE ANT1sEP.
TIC SPRAY APPARATUS.

Mr.. Fred Haus, SyIptd1 Street, CITY,.
Mr. Haus is employed at Jones LaughIins'
American Iron Works. For three years he had
been troubled with his stomach and shortness
of breath. Never had any sickness before
Trouble began with weakness and loss of appe-
tite. When he came to DR.. Byers' ofdce he
was losing flesh rapidly. had cough morning
and evening. night sweats and the usual dys-
peptfc trouble which follows such train of
symptoms. coated tongue. bad taste in the
mouth in morning. bloatlng aud belching mp of
gas after eating. palp1tatlon OF the heart,
dizziness, etc., etc.
He was induced to try DIR. Byers through the
testimony of fellow workman in same mill,
ali the troubles after thorough and systematic
courses of treatment of i've months. The
only unpleasant symptom he has left is an occa--
sionaI palpitation when he gets bad cold,
caused by an unusually irritable heart
DIR. BYERs' METHOD OF TREATMENT.
A porceIain-lined cylinder filed with purified
condensed air. by which the Doctor treats
catarrh of the nose, throat and upper air pas
sages. This air passes through flexible tube,
at the end of which there is spray generator,
formed of two glass tubes, one Of which turns
downward, and is inserted into a medicated
fluid, which the air sucks up in minute guam
titles and trajects out into the form Of an
atomized vapor. With pressure of 20 pounds
to the square inch it will throw spray Of four
feet in length and of considerable volume.
This spray not only cleanses the mfamed mem
brane of the viscid excretion which collects on
its surface. but deposits remedial agents upon
the irritated membrane, reduces the fnhamma-
tion and soOthes it. This renders q cure much
more speedy than can be effected by any other
means, and leaves the parts fresh and clean
after each application, thereby promoting the
comfort of the patient during the progress of
cure.
