THE COUNTY LEAGUE.

GreensburG Applies for Admission TO the
Local Baseball Organization.
Manager Myers, Of the Greensburg Baseball
Club, was in the city yesterday comforting with
Secretary Barr, of the County League relative
to Greensburgs admission to the League. Mr..
Myers said:
1--WE are anxious to get into the League, but
we will require a privilege. At present the
home clubs in the League keep all the receipts
and pay the expenses of the visiting club. This
will be costly to us, as Greensburg is sorfaT
away We will therefore. agree to pay one
half of the visiting clubs expenses"
Secretary Barr couldn't say anything definite
on the matter. but he intimated that the Oak
land club is now anxious to remain in the
League and if it does there will be no chance
for Greensburg. The general desire seems to
be that the League consists of six clubs, and
the following wish to remain: East End

A TRACK DIFFICULTY.

Exposition Park May Not be Ready for
Priddy and McCIeIIand.
There is likely to be some difficulty about
securing a track for the big race between Prid-
dy and McCIeland. An official of the Exposi-
ton Park stated yesterday that the track will
probably not be In suitable condition for a race
on March l. owing to the changes to be made
for the new ball grounds. 1t is expected that
the track will be broken up in one or two places
on that date.
The park authorities however, state that in
the early part of April a new half-mile track
will be finished in the park. If there is at all
any likelihood of the old track not being in con-
dition for the race in question the parties con-
cerned probably ought to meet as soon as posi-
bic to arrange matters satisfactorily.
Speaking of the race last evening John Quinn,
McClelland's hacker, said that he will insist
that only the runners, with each an attendant
and the referee be on the trackifrom start to
finish of the race.

Truthful Jeems ForeteIIs the Disaster OF
the New League.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, January 29.-Though his smile
was forced, Manager Mutrie strived to retain
his famous expression when THE DISPATCH
reporter accosted him in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel tonight relative to the action OF the
League magnates now in session here.
I'VE are still the people," said he, and
though we have lost our first point we intend to
maintain our position in straightforward
dignified manner as we always have done. 1t
is now fight to the bitter end, and no stone
shall be left unturned to bring every traitor to
their proper senses The League is now as
sured by its legal advisers that the decision OF
Judge O'Brien is practically in our favor and
that now a final injunction shall be asked tor IN
every case where player signed a League con-
tract last year The Brotherhood says it has
unlimited backing. Why don't it show its
hand? Why are not the grounds put in orderH
It's case of misjudgment on the part OF W ard
ct al and misconstruction on the part OF the
public Pittsburg will have an unusually
strong League team. l would have IL CLUBS
or 8 rather than 10 to play. Watch for
us nv boy, at the end Of 1890, and, on the other
hand keep your eye on the disastrous results
attending the Brotherhood by their improVi-
dent action

Mr.. A. K. NORRIS,

A well-known gentleman of Sharpsburg re-
siding on Eleventh street, and employed at the
extensive steel works of Messrs. Spang, Chal-
iant & Co., of Sharpsburg, has passed through
an eventful experience. His catarrh caused
stutfed-up feeling about his nose and eyes,
The catarrhal secretion that dropped from his
head into his throat was so tenacious and hard
to raise that in the morning 1t would often gag
him and cause him to feel sick at his stomach
His hearing became dull, he took cold very
easily, had no appetite in the morning, and as
his food did not digest properly. gas formed in
his stomach. causing pain. He often felt dizzy
and lost flesh. He tried various treatments,
but without success. He also used local treat
ments, but his disease gradually grew worse.
In this condition he began treatment with the
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia lnsti-
tute, 323 Penn avenue, and became cured BY
their constitutional medicines, which are
always curative and permanent IN their action.
He can be seen at either his residence or place
of business, and will gladly tell anyone further
about his condition and cure.

SOME STRONG THREATS.
NImIck Says That Players and Stockholders
May be sued.

NImick Says That Players and stockholders
May be sued.
President Nimick, of the local National
LEAGUE Club made one OF two somewhat start
ling statements last evening. When asked If it
was true that the directors Of the club intended
TO sue the stockholders Of the new club for
damages he said:
Il made a statement to that effect to-day, but
it was more in the way of joke than anything
else. However, may say that we have been
and are talking about the matter seriously.
The truth is some of the directors not only de-
sire to sue the new club stockholders for dam
ages but also all the players whom We think
have money or real estate. We will hold
meeting next week to determine the matter.
Personally am opposed to any such action;
but will abide by the decision of the directors
meeting. While think we have coed case L
am inclined to allow the legal contict to drop
and let US settle the matter before the publlc.
However, both sides Will be discussed at the
meeting next week, as all of our directors Will
be here. may add that the opinion OF Judge
O'Brien has strengthened the notion that we
can secure damages. According to that opln-
ion we are given to understand that we nave
good case"
The officials Of the new League club are not
at all concerned about the contemplated SUITS;
They state that they are not surprised at any OF
the bluffs MADE by defeated people. The dl-
rectors of the new club unanimously declare
that they arc ready TO meet any legal DomO
that may have been lost sight OF so lar. Iney
claim, and with some degree OF force bnat ali
these legal actions only popular1ze tne ne"
League in the eyes of the public.

THINK LITTLE OF JACKSON.
Time PuEIIIsts Deem Peter Mark for
John l..

NEW YORK, January 9.-Old-time authori-
ties on pugilism do not regard Peter jackson
as such formidable man. Joe Coburn, Tom
Evans, Teddy Foley and others watched him
spar with Ashton, in Brooklyn, last night.
1t was said that the men had given way to su-
perstition because the building they spared in
was used as morgue for the victims of the
Brooklyn Theater fire. When Jackson and
Ashton learned of this rumor they agreed to
simply fool with each other when they had the
gloves on, SO that there would be no chance for
an accidental knockout blow.
At the conclusion many cheered, and few
were unkind enough to hiss. The display did
not cause many to look on Peter as world
beater.
Joe Coburn said: HE will be a puddin' for
John L. Why lie never had such a snap"
Others held similar views.
