Sporting Notes.

IF Burns does not come here, Fred Carroll
says there is another good man ready to come.
WHEN in New York Secretary Brunell tried
to see Bob Ferguson, the umpire, but failed.
SECRETARY BRUNELL says that President
Speas, of the Kansas City team, IS one of the
finest gentlemen in the business. Players don't
like TO leave him, and therefore Burns may
not come.
BRUNELL stated yesterday that there was
time when Brotherhood leaders talked Of put
ting the Pittsburg club into ST. Louis and trans
ferring Hanlon and Carroll to Cleveland. That
time is past.
THE Pittsburg League officials should drop
their damage suit against the Ptttsburg Play
ers' League club. Such proceedings are silly
and preposterous They have about as much
chance of winning such suit as snowflake
in hades.-Cinctnndtt Enquirer.
BUCK EWING says: II believe that both the
League and Brotherhood will be in the field
this time next year. 1t is hardly likely that
either of them will 20 to the wall. If the
Brotherhood pays l cent of dividend to its
players we viii get every League player over
on our side that we want. The Brotherhood is
to-day stronger than it ever was"
No matter what the outcome of the Brother
hood fight may be- there is one set of men who
will be indelibly stamped with the mark of in
gratitude The members Of the New York
club went back man whose name stood as
a symbol of all that was fair and honorable in
baseball, both in his treatment of his players
and in the business affairs of the game. John
r. Day is such an honorable man himself that
he never dreamed that the very men he had
hampered and loaded with favors were small
enough TO endeavOr to rob him of his business,
and it was not until the very last moment that
he would admit there was such thing as a
conspiracy. That dozen employees could be
found low enough to try and ruin such an en-
ployer is a sad commentary. on American man.

SOME PLAIN TALK.
Ed SwartwOod Says Some Strong Things
About Secretary Mckay.

Ed SwartwOod Says Some Strong Things
About Secretary Mckay.
Secretary Mckay, of the Hamilton, Ont, ball
club, is again to the front with a scurriIous
attack on Ed Swartwood, the ball player of
this city. Mckay terms Swartwood one of the
best disorganizers in the business. Referring
to the matter. last evening" Swartwood said:
Now let me tell the public the cause of all
this Mckay spleen. 1 refused to do the con-
temptible and dirty work that such people as
Mckay always want done. He was ever hound
ing me to fine players S5U 500 and so on. the
object being to deprive these poor fellows of
their salaries SO that the directors would get
the money. will cite one OF many instances:
On one occasion this man Mckay came to me
and urged me to fine Ed Sales and Oldfield
each 500. 1 asked what for. He said they
were drunk on the previous evening. L said
that I was with Oldfeld at that time until Ii
O'Clock. and he was perfectly SOBER We'll. fine
him anyhow, said Mckay. replied by saving
/ would have Sales and 0ldfeld at his office
the next morning to meet MCKay's informants
and have the matter settled. If it was proven,
1 said, that the players were drunk would
certainly fine them. I took them to the Office
but the informsnts were not there and Mckay
had the audacity to say to me: why fine them
something I refused TO do ANYTHING of the
kind on hearsay. and of course that made a
man like Mckay very mad. After I had left
the management the club was in Toledo
Manager Powell received telegram from Nc
Kay stating: Can you not fine Blair for some
thing Powell came to me and said he GER
tainlY would not DO any dirty work like that for
anybody.
''The fact is the club was losing money and
that man Mckay desired to have some of il
back by taking the salaries from the poor ball
players. That was always his great object and
he could not get man mean enough to do it.
1t is work of this kind that has caused
ball players to try anG protect themselves.
As far as my being disorganizer is concerned
leave that to be decided by my record in
places where l have been for years; places
where club officials are gentlemen and know
something about baseball"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
PORT JERyIs. N. Y, February 9.-St
Patrick's Church, a Catholic house of
worship that was built a few years ago in
Milford. Pa, has lost its pastor, the popular
Father Joseph Smith. Father Smith was
placed in charge of the church about year
ago. Three months ago a nephew of the
priests, the motherless 12-year-old son of
his brother, came from Philadelphia to find
home with his uncle. A few days ago
he entered the house of one of Father
Smiths parishioners. He was weeping
and his appearance was startling. His
eyes were blackened and swollen, his lips
puffed out as if from blow, and his face
bruised and swollen. In explanation of his
appearance he declared that Father Smith
had charged him with not raking the stove
down properly, and then beat him with a
poker.
Father Smith appeared before the Justice
Of the Peace, and although the boys evil
dence BY which he alone could be convicted
bursting into tears and sobbing like child,
confessed to being guilty as his little
nephew had declared. He said that he was
not in his right mind when he committed
the act. The justice fined him $40 and
costs, and, severely reprimanding him, dis
charged him. The disgraced priest left
Milford, and it is not expected that he will
return to his parish again.

COAL AS COLLATERAL SECURITY.
The Last Ray of Hope in the Anthracite
Region Has About Departed.

The Last Ray of Hope in the Anthracite
Region Has About Departed.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP ArcH.l
PoTTsvILLE, PA, February 9.-The ray
OF hope for the 5000 idle coal miners in the
Schuylkill basin, that was held out few
days ago by the appearance of cold wave,
has vanished. The snowfakes fell again
to-day, and the prediction of blizzard re-
newed the hopes. but cold weather is not yet
in sight In spite OF all this idleness, the
destitute lsborers are not fully aware of the
fact that hundreds of thousands of tons of
coal they have mined in the past few months
have not yet been sold. It has been trans
ported to a number of large sterehouses
within easy reach of the great markets, so
that, in the event of blizzard, the cutting
off of transportation and the sudden demand
for coal, the companies could readily and
speedily meet the demand.
But there is double purpose in this stor-
ing awav of large lots of anthracite. If ever
the producing companies run short of ready
cash and want money quickly, they can of
fer this stored coal as collateral security.
Thus far this year the coal sent to market is
435, 900 tons less than for a corresponding
period last year, and the shutting down of
more mines this week will increase the cur
tailment in shipments. At all points in the
Reading Company's territory the most eco
nomical and effective reorganization is 60
ing on.

The Washington President States His Clubs
Position QuIte EmphaIicnIly.
WASHINGTON, February 9--President Wal
has written public letter regarding his plan
for the coming season. After stating his in
tention to remain in the League, Mr.. Hewitt
says-"I never contemplated selling my fran
chise to the Baltimore club When the decis-
ion was made in the Ward injunction suit it
practically settled the negotiations between
Mr.. Won der Horst and me. He could not
transfer the PLAYERS most desired, and did
not care to relinQuiSh an interest in my club
for the few players he could transfer, and
whom haC no use for. The deal, believe,
would have been concluded earlier had it not
been that Baltimore believed it had chance
to get into the League, and with Detroit make
a 12-club circuit
"At the recent League meeting Mr.. Stearns,
of Detroit, approached me, and wanted to know
what would sell for. The price ! put upon
the club was exceedingly high. but not whit
higher than what l really valued it at. So
much for the Detroit matter.
THE League has never shown the slightest
wish to get rid of Washington. It regards it as
l do-as a good ball town-and when l was
wavering last fall the delegates used every ar
gument they could to induce me to remain in
the League. have taken five years lease on
the new grounds, and awarded the contract for
the erection of the grandstand and fences. and
will have an eligibly located ball park next sea-
son, which, l believe, will be a credit to the
city. am getting together as good team as
the experience of Mr.. Sullivan with young
players will permit and already have Il men
under contract. 1 expect to secure several
more good men, and believe the team will COM
pare faVoraDly with any club in the League
which has had to make new start in getting
a club together, as have had to do"

AN ENGLISH CHALLENGE.
John Roberts Wants to Play the Best
American Pool Player.

LONDON, February 9.-Frenchmen have
played billiards in America, and Americans
have played billiards in France, but it still re-
mains for an Englishman to cross cues with an
American. Mr.. John Roberts, Jr., is willing to
be the pioneer, though not at billiards. The
game as played here is not at all like the game
as played in the United States Mr.. Roberts
could vanquish easily any American player at
the English game and there are a number Of
Americans who could defeat him at the baIk
line game and perhaps at straight rail billiards
At pool there is fair field for both Sides as
the difference between the games as played on
both sides of the Atlantic is of no consequence
Mr.. Roberts has issued challenge through
the Herald to the pool players of America and
in it he offers TO play any reasonable number of
games of pyramid pool for $500 e., 900 side.
He desires that half of the games should be
played in London and the other half in the
United States each man to pay his own travel
ing expenses, and the winner of the majority of
games to take the stakes and gate money. 1t is
not unlikely that Mr.. Roberts challenge will
be accepted, as there are number of expert
pool players in America The greatest Of these,
Albert Frey died within II months but Malone
ran Frey very close, and should the challenge
of Roberts be accepted will probably be pitted
against the English champion.

SALT LAKE, February 9.-In connection

antl-election scenes In this city, it is stated
that the anti-Mormons or Liberals car
ried the Legislature at the last
election and this has caused the unusual
stir. Interviewed tonight Chairman Rich
ards, of the Peoples party, a leading Nor
mon, said that he did not think success
or defeat would injure the chances of the
Territory becoming State.
His party favored admission, provided
all citizens secured equal rights. He said
some features of the Edmunds-Tucker acts
were intolerant and un-American.
Governor Arthur L. Thomas, the most
prominent leader of the Liberal party, a
resident OF Utah for IL years, probably the
best-posted man on Territorial politics, was
seen. He anticipated no trouble tomorrow
and predicted a GENTLE victory.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DISPATCH:
CANAEDAIGUA, n. Y, February TO-
Samuel B. Bigelow, OF Savannah, at the
age of 75 years, and after only two years of
married life, has concluded that marriage is
a failure. Although he had been impervi-
Gus to che destinations of the fair sex for 72
years, he became infatuated with beautiful
Bessie Smith, who was only 80. She was
supposed to be widow, and her lonely con-
dition, as we'll as her graces of mind and
feature, touched the lovable old seaman's
heart. He proposed, was accepted, and
Bessie for two years made his charming
rural abode the most congenial haven in
which he had ever cast anchor.
After two years cruise on the sea of
matrimony Captain Bigelow had become so
devotedly attached to his young first mate
that he decided her all his worldly goods so
that there might be no question as to her
undisputed enjoyment after his death. John
Smith appeared soon after the transfer had
been completed, and it turned out Bessie
was still his lawful wife. Captain Bige-
low was compelled to leave the place, to the
enjoyment OF Bessie and husband. Captain
Bigelow then went to Savannah and now
ekes oura lonely existence. supporting him.

ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
WAYNEsBURG, February Glider
David White, who died at his home in Oak
Forest, this county, last Tuesday, had
preached the Gospel regularly for nearly 60
years, and had preached several times with
in the last year. He was born and raised in
Greene county, and was contemporary of
Alexander Campbell, whose doctrine he ad-
hered to. With the exception of the brief
illness which closed his life, he had never
been sick three weeks, all told, from his
childhood up to his death. He was fond of
horseback riding, and although nearly a
century rested upon his back, he could sit
on the back of horse with as much grace
as pr0ctical equestrian of 90 years. His
friends say that, had it not been for q trip
he made to town Jew weeks ago, he would
have been living yet and enjoying good
health His home is six miles away, and he
rode in on horseback, but, the weather being
mild, he neglected to put on heavy clothing,
and the exposure caused his illness.
In the ffties he made two trips to Mis-
souri,, going the entire distance, and making
his return on horseback. He was stanch
advocate of the slavery abolition move
ment and while preaching this principle, in
that State during one of his trips he re-
ceived warning from the Jayhawkers to de-
sist. He met their threat defantly, but
under the advice of friends, left the State.
He preached forty years and did not miss
Sabbath, but never would permit his con-
gregation to pay him a salary. He founded
a church and erected a building, bearing the
entire expense.
Although he would preach funeral SER
mons on request, yet he objeetet to the prac-
tice and would permit none upon the occa-
sion OF the burial of his wife, two weeks
ago saying: SIT does the dead no good and
is no honor to God" He believed the burial
of the dead was more impressive without
the ceremony
