From a Horseman's Standpoint.

He wore horseshoe pin with seven nail
holes in it, and his shirt cuffs were held by
imitation nails He sat in the front row of
the bleachers and some of his opinions
were:
''Got a wallSover for that base" as Long
trotted to first on four bad balls.
Great action, that" as Harry Stovey
lifted one over the left field fence "If they
ever keep that clip up they'll distance the
field"
"Why don't they wear scalpers to keep off
them hard ones?" as Fields almost got his
arm knocked off.
They had ought to put a few weights on
that fellow to steady him." when King
showed a disposition to be wild.
"They don't drop any heats on that start
ing Judging" was the verdict on Umpire
Tim Hurst.
Don't they punish them for hollering dur
ing heat" as the Burgers got in some very
loud coaching.
quite a good steady actor, that coli" {"
when Nicholas did good work in the fourth.
Quite trappy gated little fellow, that"
as Miller tried to beat the ball out, ."but he
looks too much pony to stay"
They've got lots of speed but no head, !"
was his comment on the Bostons.
81 guess the Pittsburgs are cold bred; they
can't stand the pace. That pitcher shuts up
quicker than any jackknife ever saw"
''The Burgers will never go fast in COM
pany that can go to the half at a strong clip.
They're poor finishers.-BoSton Globe.

Next Meeting at Atlantic City.
Atlantic City was selected as the place for
holding the next annual session. A com
mittee was appointed to report q form for
public installations. 1. U. Robbins pre-
sented number of matters upon which the
Pennsylvania delegates had been instructed

discussion.
The Deputy State Councillors Association,
of Allegheny county, has sent resolution
providing for n similar assessment to be
levied for the purpose of placing organizers

tion tomorrow by G. E. Kepple, of Penn
sylvania, ,indorsing the Daughters of Liberty,

two elements in the female auxiliary.
1t is reported tonight that the delegation
from Illinois will present a resolution to-
morrow providing for a change of name, but

YESTERDAYS LEAGUE GAMES.

For the first time this season the Cincin-
natl Reds will be here to do battle against
our sluggers. The Reds are always a well
come lot to Pittsburg, but this season they
have one or two special features connected
with them. Amid all the transformations
that took place among the League teams
last winter Cincinnati was not excluded
from the list. As result this season they
have such popular players among as
George Smith, the Evergreen" Latham and
'Old Hoss" Radbourne.
Undoubtedly the Reds are a much better
team than their general work has so far this
season demonstrated. Like other teams
they have been overtaken with many mis-
fortunes, but it is very likely that they will
be able to put up good article of ball to-
day.
The local sluggers are home again after
one of the most disastrous trips ever eXpe-
rienced by the local club in the way of victo-
ries Financially the trip has been all right.
But nobody feels more keenly the poor
showing of the team than Manager Hanlon
and the players themselves. They are pain
fully aware that their work has been bad,
but they are also aware that they have been
doing their best amid numerous diff
culties that have been great and dis
couraging. In view of this fact it would
hardly seem just to abuse and condemn
them simply because they are down. The
more generous and manly way would be to
give them all the encouragement possible to
fry and regain their FORM and as soon rs
they do that they will be all right. They
have a long road to travel yet and certainly
plenty of time to redeem themselves. They
don't like to lose games and like all of US,
they deem it hard to be abused when they
are trying to do their best. There is not
much reason in abusing crippled team for
losing games.
Manager Hanlon returns home extremely
disappointed. He states that almost the
first day his team were East misfortuneS
began to appear, and have continued up to
date. In fact, the misfortunes began the
day before the team went away by Bier
bauer being disabled. 1t is expected that he
will play to-day. Manager Hanlon is not
aware of any changes that will be made in
the team, and President O'Neil states that
he does not want any changes made.
The best thing that the public can do un-
der the circumstances is to give the boys
good reception and encouragement to do
better. Much money and labor have been
expended in getting the team together and
it would be sheer nonsense to try and break
them up at this early stage of the game.
Why the Philadelphia team have lost nine
straight games on their home grounds and
they are not being abused. Defeats and
long series of them are likely to strike any
team.
Last evening Manager Hanlon did not
know who his battery for to-day will be.
Probably Calvin will pitch and either Will
liams or Radbourne for the visitors.

HARVARD LIQUOR DEALERS.
The Accused Students Plead Guilty, Are
Fined S75 Each and Appeal. ...


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
CAMBRIDGE, MASS, June 17.-Harvard's
amateur hquo- dealers, members of the
Zeta Psi Club, appeared again in court to-
day, to answer to the States charge of
maintaining liquor nuisance. They were
as brimfull of fight as ever, but in
order to avoid the publicity involved
by the trial, they pleaded guilty to the facts
alleged by the police, but appealed to the
higher court on the ground that the statu-
tory law was unconstitutional, in that it was
an Infringement of the sacred rights of the
person. Then Judge Sawyer fined each one
SIS, and when they appealed he had long
fatherly talk with them. He was aware
that many of their number were soon to
graduate and scatter all over the
country, and some would come
back next fall. To the latter he ad-
dresses his remarks especially. He assured
them that q second offense would cause the
members to serve time in the House of Cor
rection- There was no escape from that fate,
except in keeping liquors out of their clubs.
Those who live within the State were placed
under $400 bonds, and those living in other
States were required to furnish $500 bonds.
The Judge Furthermore said that he should
insist upon bondsmen living in Massachu-
setts. After a great deal of trouble, the
necessary conditions were complied with,
and the students left court sadder, but wiser
men,
