ALLEGED TAMFERING,
Rumors That the New Club is Trying for
Conway and BeckIey.

Rumors Tint the New Club il Trying for
Conway and BeckIey.
The officials of the local National League
Club have been informed that the local
Brotherhood authorities are tampering with
Beckley and Conway. Manager Hecker was
spoken to concerning the matter, last evening,
and somewhat reluctantly admitted that he
had received letter from an Allegheny gen.
tleman on the question. Manager Hecker
said:
81 don't want to say anything definite on the
subject just now, but the writer OF the letter
makes a very clear statement"
1t was learned that Manager Hecker has
written Conway and Beckley three times with.
out receiving an answer. Secretary Scandrett
however, has no fear of losing either of the
players named. He said: Il had letter from
Beckley not long ago, and he told me he was
going to Hot Springs to stay two or three weeks
prior to his reporting here. He has signed
contract with us, and has received a very big
slice of our money. He is all right and SO is
Conway"
The local Brotherhood authorities emphati-
cally deny that they tampering with the
players in question, and state that if either of
them are talking of returning to the Brother
hood they are doing SO at their own volition 1t
would, therefore, seem that Manager Hecker's
informant is mistaken.
= President Nimick had a conference with
Manager Hecker the matter last evening
and it may be that Manager Hecker will leave
visit to Beckley to-day. Secretary Scand-
rett's opinion on the necessity of trip will de-
eide it this morning.

WELL, it is ten-club League after all.
A TEN-cLUB schedule looks anything but in
teresting.
THE public has at last a baseball schedule to
ponder over.
BRUSH, the Hooser, was too much for the
balance of the magnates.
THE old League schedule gives the Players
League the best of it at the opening.
For the frst time in two winters bad weather
prevented the races at Guttenburg yesterday
JOE MULvEY has jumped his National
League contract and joined the Philadelphia
Players club.
THE Young Mems Gymnastic Club, of New
Orleans wants Pat Farrell, of this city, to fight
Arthur Upham for purse of 81, 500.
PITCHER ScHMITT, one of the young men
signed by the old local club, arrived in the city
from Chicago. He is well-built young man,
and is in excellent condition.
THE Ormonde Club, of London, England,
has held a meeting and decided to offer purse
of f200 for 20-round glove contest between
Nunc Wallace, the feather-weight champion
of England, and George Dixon, the colored
pugilist of Boston, and allow Dixon s5U to go to
England.
IT must be exceedingly interesting to sporting
people to learn that Matterson and Kemp have
made up their minds 70 row for the worlds
championship. If Bubear and Norvel in En-
gland and Gaudaur and Hamm in Florida will
do the same it will even be more interesting
than ever.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, March 6. "A conference of
Players League magnates was held at Judge
Bacon's yesterday regarding the suit against

cott, of the New York Club; Secretary Robin
son, of the New York, and players Ewing,
Arthur Irwin, of Boston, and Hanlon, of Pitts
burg. Judge Bacon will have entire charge of
the case.
Arthur Irwin was asked by a DISPATCH re-
porter what he thought of the outlook. why
there will be but one organization in it, that will
be the Players League. I've gone over the
grounds very carefully, and l tell you that
when the gong sounds we will put up such an
exhibition that people can't help patronizing
u.s."
Speaking of contract-jumpers and the posi-
bility of the Players League taking them back,
Irwin said that he had no respect for any such
kind of players.
What about Pickett, who has gone South
with the PhiladelDhia PLAYERS Club?"
IF it is true that Pickett was regularly
signed player of the Kansas City club, and re-
cei led advance money, he should never be
allowed to play with Players League Club"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
SCoTTDALE, March $50 far as can be as
certained from the testimony of gentleman
who has been over the ground and is competent
to judge. silver and other precious metals have
been discovered on the farm of Jeremiah
Stauffer, near Mt. Vernon. Mr.. Stanffer was
to-day visited by many persons full of anxiety
for correct information. Geologist Stanton
was seen by THE DISPATCH correspondent to-
day. and said he had been working on the ex-
animation for a couple of weeks and has found
the rock to contain S27S in silver and $500 to
81, 900 in gold to the rock ton. He has discov-
cred also the pyrites and sulDhltes of other
minerals. Work will actually be commenced
next week to develop it, Mr.. Stauffer has not
as vet received any direct offers for the field,
as it is known he would promptly decline
them.
The geologist said it was hard to determine
if it was in the same vein which extends
through the Joyce farm near Connellsville, but
in all probability it was, as he thought it ex-
tended south, and if some of the farms adjoin-
ing Stauffer's were to be tested the same strata
could be found. Stautfer's farm contains sew
eral hundred acres and is near the Mt. Vernon
ore mines, which are owned by the Charlotte
Furnace Company, of this place.

Apparent.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
LIMA, March 6.-The Buckeye Pipe Line
Company created great stir in oil circles this
morning by posting announcements that here
after the price of Lima oil would be 20 cents
per BARREL which would be an advance of 5
cents per barrel 1t is the general opinion that
this is but a forerunner of what is to come. and
that Lima oil will be gradually advanced to so
cents per BARREL which is about its true value
commodity The advance is of great i'm
portance to this city and community, as it
means an influx of new blood and an increase
in the money spent by the producers. There
will now be an immense amount of hustling
done to obtain territory which has not yet
been leased or developed.
The reason for the advance seems to be gen.
orally understood to be that the Standard Oil
Company have finally discovered perfect
method of refining the oil, and that hereafter
none of it will be sold for fuel oil 1t is thought
this move means the equalization of prices
with the Eastern production, and the making
of the Lima product, certificate oil.

an affidavit for the Ewing case. Several of us

the case is now all ready Our affidavits cover
more ground this time than they did in the
Ward case Business people in New York.
however, look upon these suits as being the re-
suit of stupidity. The old League cannot win
and at any rate it is likely that none of the
cases will be heard before next fall, so that if
the League magnates do win their cases it will
avail them nothing
Mr.. Hanlon spoke very hopefully of the pro,
posed new League meeting next week. 1--WE
have some important business to do Z" he said
land we will get through it all right. Every
club in our circuit is in line and popular feeling
is getting more in our favor every day."
