THE DISPATCH there were important
statements published as coming from A. w.
Thurman and John B. Day. Both of these
gentlemen declared themselves to be
strongly in favor OF inference between
the Players League. the National League
and American Association. To me this is
the most significant sign of peace that has
been noticed, because, if once the rival
parties meet, I think they are sure to come
to terms satisfactory to all. My contention
all this season has been that there
was nothing outside of sentiment
preventing a conference of parties,
and / firmly believe that had certain class
of writers and takers not made it their daily
business to stir up feelings of bitterness
there would have been conference ere now.
1 notice, with regret, that some people can
not speak or refer to the National League
without indulging in the most jeering ln-
sultsssand most sinister innuendoes. This Is
neither fair nor manly, and cannot possibly
have any good results. People who thus In
dulge are only summer friends, and depend
upoa it, organizations which they puff up
to-day may be the target for their insults
tomorrow. An unfair mind is not stable
in its admiration and respect, and would
ask the P. L. magnates to take particular
notice OF this. Well, trust that confer
ence will be held as soon as possible, and
that every member of it will meet in talr
give-and-take spirit.

S1avin and jackson.

IF advices from Australia are true, we will
have the question of supremacy between
Peter jackson and Slavin settled before we
are very much older. Cablegrams from
underneath" tell us that the two men
named have been matched to fight for a very
big stake, and that there is any amount of
money for Slavin. If neither man is a
coward, cannot we'll see how they can keep
apart. Each claims to be champion of Aus
tralia, while neither of them has any legit-
innate claim to the title. True, many people
state that Jackson returned home to avoid
fight with Slavin: but, on the other hand,
some people claim that Slavin left Aus
tralia and went to England to get out of the
way of jackson. However these conjec-
lures or statements may be, one thing
is certain, viz, that they must sooner
Slavin looks a much better man than
jackson, as the former polished off Nc
Auliffe considerably easier than did jack
soE. But their methods of fighting were
different, and had Jackson been in 'front.' oil
Slavin instead of McAuliffe, Slavin's
rushes would not have been so effective.
jackson is a very active and artful man in
a ring, and we all know that art can toll a
rusher almost every time. But there is one
danger regarding jackson. 1t is question
as to whether or not he would have the
pluck to stand the punishment of one or two
rushes like Slavin's. That is a question we
can only guess at. If he couldn't he would
soon be knocked out, and ii he could, he
would soon have the better of Slavin.

Homewood Rnces.

1t is quite Sa e to say that had the weather
during the week been anything like fine the
the races out at Homewood would have
been a very great success. The large crow ds
that vea:Cred out there with threatening
clouds hsnging overhead prove what say,
and I'm sure well all regret that circum-
stances have been so unfavorable to the
efforts of the very eEterprising directors Of
the track. The bad weather has not only
spoiled the attendance, but it h.. inter cred
considers bly, with Tie speed Of the horses,
ard this is a great drawback 10 any meet
ing. 1 do not propose to say anything re-
Rardiag the relative merits of the
horses, as that matter was de 1T with
from day 10 day III the papers,
but 1 wish to point out one great
fact that il would be we'll for some people to
note. PitS>burg is horse racing city. We
should all make note OF that, and if we
do, think none OF US will be disposed to
throw any barriers in the way o. having
our annual races There is always kind
of ghost, soaring people, in the shape the
suti-pool Law. 1t is to me one OF the sur
prisipg features of modern civilization 10
find people persistently irving to enforce
the old, and moldy aud time worn relics of
fossili1ed periods. As DR.. Mscksy would
say:
''Old opinionsi rags and tstters,
We have worn you quite threadbare"
Certainly, it may be financially beneficial
for some people to drag out these skeletons
OF centuries ago, but goodness knows they
will not care bad desire nor change a mis-
leading opinion. The present generation of
citizens are not to be made morally good by
the thumb-screw system OF Puritanic times

The Baseball Situation.

The miserable baseball season of 1890 is
over with all of its failures. humbug, and
false statements. AT the end of this season
we find the game almost prostrated in the
dust, and the players of less importance
than they almost ever were. Let us be
thankful that the season is over, and "down
among the dead men let it lie." However
tions would certainly be worse than they
are were there no rays of hope regarding
.the future. am stronger in the belief to-
day that something will be done to end all
4ais nonsense than / have ever been. This
thought or hope affords considerable con-
ISOLATION, and it il is not realized my efforts
at least shall be in the direction of crying
down all parties concerned in this disgrace
full condition OF affairs. But. think the

get together and make settlement. In

DEMPSEY and Fitzsinmous,

Slow progress, indeed, is being made in
the proposed battle between Jack Dempsey
and Fitzsimmons. The latest concerning
the affair is to the effect that the Olympic
Club has offered S12 900 for fight between
them. Dempsey, it is stated, is willing to
fight for that amount, but insists that his
opponent weighs not more than 154 pounds.
tbs demand is fair, but should think that
the tall anti podeon would not Tor moment
think oil fshting at any heavier weight.
Whether the two men will ever come to-
gether or not 1 don't know, but the longer
they remain apart the worse it will be Ior
Dempsey. The latter did some time ago
talk of going to England, but L expect that
he has changed his mind on that point.
Big fstic contests in England are doomed
.or long time to come. Some time
ago predicted that the English Parlia-
meDt would deal with the matter if the law
was not strong enough. Since the Slavin-
MeAuliffe affair the leading English papers
are urging Parliament to deal with the mat
ter at once In my opinion this settles
fighting for big purses in that country. And
there is every indication that similar state
things will obtain here shortly. There
are Jew so-called clubs in the United States
where a battle such as that between Demp-
sey aud Fitzsimmons would be allowed. I
question very muCQ WH6tUeE VI uOL bu6
police authorities of New Orleans would
tolerate it At any rate if Demp-
sew and Fitsimmons do not meet
shortly their chance of meeting at all will
not be very great. The manner in which
these club contests have been run for some
time has forced the authorities to take no.
tice o. them. Whatever hope there may
have been OF a battle between Dempsey and
La Blanche seems to have vanished since the
offer of $12, 900 ior fight between Dempsey
and FitzsImmons has been made. That
offer has induced Dempsey 10 say that he
will pay no attention to La Blanche's talk.
But the latter is the victor of Dempsey and
certainly has as much right lor attention as
ANYBODY else. Still other men have right
to make engagements suitable TO themselves,
and La Blanche cannot have lorgottcn his
treatment of Dempsey after their late battle.
Doubtless La Blanche would like to have
shy at another big purse. but strange to
say, he is not in demand just now. Pugilistic
business is a very queer one

points of pool selling at race meetings the
laws OF our fathers on the matter will not
prevent betting. 1t would just be as easy
for d lme Partington to keep the flowing
tide back with her mop as it would be Tor
bigots to prevent betting by law. 1t is to
be hoped that another Legislature will not
finish its session without obliterating from
the statute books of the State law that
works considerable injury and certainly has
done no good. 1t will never do good, simply
because it was framed in spirit that is op-
posed to the spirit of to-day. As 1 have just
said it only exists as a scare to enterprises
advantageous to the cities in the State, and
certainly does no moral good to the COM
munity.
