PALMER WILL JOIN THEM.
President O'Neil to Go East to See What Is
Wrong With the Boys.


Wrong With the Boys.
President O'Nei; will leave for Philadel-
phia t. is evening to try and find out what is
wrong with the local sluggers. He will like
ly remain with the team until they return
home.
The resolve of the directors to send the
President to investigate matters is certainly
q wise one; indeed, there was probably a
slight lack of judgment in not keeping Pres
ident O'Neil East with the team when lie was
there. OF course, defeats, as q rule, always
produce q desire for the overhauling of
som othing, and it is well that it is that way.
The very bad defeats recently suffered by
the best team ever sent out of Pittsburg
have naturally caused all kinds of rumors to
be in circulation. One rumor yesterday was
to the effect that everything was not going
smoothly along among the boys; but Presi-
3ant O'Neil gives no credence at all to this
report. He is inclined to believe that the
tenn has run intoa streak of very hard luck.
Whatever may be the cause of their
wretchcd playing, the fact remains that they
must do better. Certainly the best team in
the world are likely to make n series of very
miserable exhibitions, just as did the great
Detroits and the Giants.
But efforts to secure improvement must DE
made at once, and the first thing that should
be done is to send President O'Neil East to
inquire into the matter, as suggested in yes
terday's DISPATCH. The team are on a very
big trip in all respects, and it is hardly rea-
sonable to expect that Manager Hanlon can
do himself, the directors or the public
justice in thoroughly looking after every
thing. Beyond all, he has himself to keep IN
condition to play, and when to that is added
that he has the finances, travelling and
hotels and all the players to look after, it
will readily be seen that he has too much to
do. He is a Trojan for work, and may think
he is equal to the task, but help will GER
tainly be beneficial to all colcered.
Notwithstanding yesterdays defeat Presi-
dent ONeil is confident of the teams return
ing home in a very high position. Two or
three straight victories will make great
change, and it may be that the tide of iII-luck
will turn to day.

RUNNING DOWN FRAUD.
Massillon People Find That Scheme to
Get Rich Quick Doesn't Work.

MAssfLLoN, June "a plausible fellow of
good address dropped into this place five.
weeks ago and, giving his name as A. C.
Wagley, represented himself as an organizer
of the Golden Harvest Society of Chicago.
The main and only features of this company
was, by the payment of $2 initiation and 81
weekly, each member would receive 500 at
the end of four weeks. In q few days the
plausible organizer secured about $50, some
of the more greedy putting S. extra into
what was called "the reserve fund" The
gentleman then left to work another town.
Hearing nothing from him, L. V. Teeple, q
local lawyer, was sent to Chicago to look up
the supreme officers. He found three men
located in q great building on Dearborn
street, opposite the postoffice. He repre-
sented himself as an organizer, and was
promptly engaged, given written instruc-
tions and 81 for expenses and sent to Val
paraisO, Ind, with instructions to work
quietly. As soon as the embryo organizer
got to Fort Wayne he returned the equip
ment by express. 1t is said the men here
who think they have been swindled, will
enter suit.

THE EAST END GYM.
Great Progress Being Made by Its Athletes
and Its Baseball PLAYERS,

The East End Gymnastic Club is making the
most remarkable success in every department con-
nected with it, Its membership is increasing at a
very rapid rate and its treasury is in very healthy
condition. Not only has the club expended $500 in
new grounds, but very large sum of money is be-
ing spent on indoor improvements
The club has particularly good baseball team
and they are out for the County League pennant.

feature of the ball team is that arrangements

two teams will play series of three games. and
that the first Will be played at Exposition Park

LABoRERs PANIC STRICKEN.
A Hundred Italians Leap From a Moving
Train Without Cause.

BEAVER FALLS June S.-A remarkable acci-
dent happened here this afternoon to q lot
of Italian laborers employed on the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroad. The men, to
the number of about 100, were on the fat
cars of the construction train, being con-
veyed to another point on the road. The
train was running quite rapidly when the
engine whistled clown brakes quite
sharply, and followed up a signal of series
of quick toots.
The brakemen flew to the brakes, which so
alarmed the Italians that they began to leap
from the train, and soon the air was filled
with leaping foreigners, while the ground
for 40 rods back was stewn with the men in
all positions The train was stopped as soon
as possible and the men picked up. Some of
them escaped without some injury of some
kind.

CHALLENGE TO YOUNG scULLERs.
Albert Denmarsh Can BE Matched to Row
the Young Wonder of BeIlaire.

Young scullers are beginning to loom up
in and about the city. The following definite
challenge would indicate that our "old

be matched to row any young man in West
ern Pennsylvania or Eastern Ohio who has
never rowed q race. This challenge is partic-
ularly directed to the Bellaire, o.. sports,

CHICAGO, June 3.-Speaking yesterday of
his 2-year-old colt, Huron, of whom so much
was expected, Ed Corrigan said: "He has
not had saddle or bride on him for a week.
In fact, he has not been out of the stable in
that time. The injury to his foot is more
serious than l at first supposed. Proud
flesh has formed about the hoof, and it may
be months before he is fit to gallop. l don't
intend to race him at this meeting. He will
remain idle until the fall, when l shall send
him East" This is unfortunate, as Huron in
public form showed himself the equal of
the best 2-year-olds out this season.
