If the declarations of Manager Hanlon,
of the PLAYERS League, and Director j. P.
O'Neil, of the National League, go for any
thing the baseball public of Pittsburg are
going to be humbugged next year just as
they have been this. According to the state
ments of these gentlemen, made to the
writer Yesterday, each party will have a
ball team in this city and of course, just as
it was declared last winter, each is going to
knock the other higher than the proverhlal
kite. In other words, the public is to see
repetition Of one of the most unhallowed of
all baseball seasons.
Director ONeil said: Now, depend upon it
we are here with our club to stay, not only the
season out but also next season. We won't
lose dollar this year. During our recent trip
Bast we received So 500 and our expenses were
only s., 200 I have signed four men already for
next season, and will sign three more to-mor-
row. 1 want compromise but I'm not the
tire League. 1 bear no ill-will toward any
player. and would take Ed Hanlon back to-
morrow and make him manager of our team.
! would also take Jake Beckley back, but there
are many players in our team whom would
not release. Therefore, l could not entertain
proposition to take back all OF our old players
If thore is to be one club in Pittsburg l claim
first and most assuredly IL Hanlon had been
here before with team wouldn't have
been opponent OF his for day. We simply
claim that we have the right of territory, and
we are prepared 10 fight for that right another
year at least"
Manager Hanlon said: "Why, we are here to
stay. Just You mark my words that all the
men that Mr.. O'Neil is signing now he will re-
lease before the spring. There will be only
one leading baseball organization next year
and that will be the Players League. Twill
have winning team here next year and that
will get the patronage. We can get all the
money we want for next year, and l don't see
what we can gain by compromise. We will
be the club next year"
In answer TO a series of questions Nh. Hanlon
stated that there will be several new faces in
his team, as some of the present lot are not
filling the bill,
"Will the contract signed by players Of your
League guarantee them full years salary?"
was asked of Mr.. Hanlon.
He replied: I don't know about that. 1t is
not good business. What we want is men who
will Ill the bill Ours is not an organization of
charity, and we want ball players who can earn
their salary"
From the above it will be CLEANED that there
Is desire to continue a conflict that has al
ready brought the national game into disre-
pute, and amid all the object is to win public
favor. Intelligent people think that contin-
uation of this years proceedings will cause
q whole business to be absolutely ignored.

LIGHTNING eAND GAS.
Continued from First Paqe.

hibit the regularity Murraysville does. 1t
is spotted. But there are good features
about this. Each we'll or group of wells
has its own area to draw from and cannot
drain the supply of others. Then we have
SO many sands there to depend on. The
Washington sands are all good at Believer
non. When We do not get gas in one we go
on down to another"
do you think it probable the lower
sands may be productive at Murraysville ?"
No, don't expect much from them.
We have drilled one well down in that field
and found all the lower sands thin and in
ierior in quality. But we shall try more in
good time. One hole exploits so little ter
ritory. A spot five inches in diameter is
not much to predicate upon for large area.
1t may be the sands are better in some other
part of the field.
without new fields the supply is suf-
flcient for several years. Larger pipes will
have to be used, of course. Larger pipes
than we are now laying cannot we'll be used
while gas is transported at high pressure
the pipes are so heavy. But with low
pressure there is practically no limit to the
size OF the pipes. Why, pipe Is or 25 feet
In diameter, made OF sheet iron, can be en-
ployed, and tell you a conduit of that size
will convey vast amount of gas even at
low pressure.
THE INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION.
ITO get at the increase in the consumption
OF natural gas you will have to see the new
companies. The Philadelphia Company is
supplying about as much gas this year as
last. The difference is that we have large

fistic arena and adopt the boards as a means of
livelihood. The Kilrain-Ashton combination
will shortly blossom out with the assistance of
several other pugilists and wrestlers, in a spe-
cially written comedy farce entitled, Jacks

members of the company, who have not the
slightest idea what the play will be like. that
they will coin money on the road next season.

WHEELING, September 5.-Matters are
in statu quo as far as the street railway
strike is concerned. This morning the COM
pany put force OF men to work clearing the
Instructions from the tracks and most of the
stuff was removed, but as fast as the men
proceeded stones, ties and other distractions
were piled back on the rails by sympathiz-
ers with the strikers. The company applied
for police protection, and squad of officers
went over the line in the Eighth ward with
Mayor Seabright, but no good was accom-
plished in that way, and when the company
asked for officers to ride on the cars to be
started out, some of the men said they would
take off their uniforms first, and the Mayor
advised President Sweeney to forego the at
tempt to run cars.
This evening the tracks are obstructed at
quite number of points, but otherwise there
is 10 evidence of trouble. The strikers dis
claim any responsibility for the disorder of
yesterday or the obstruction on the tracks.

Mr. McCrackin said: II am informed that
after Dallas won the stake race at Springfield
Mr. Mccormick at once matched his PAGER to
go against Hal Pointer at Homewood. A tele-
gram to that effect was received b. Mr.. Lappin
from Mr.. Mccormick last evening. If the
match goes on we will add some money to the
