NEwsY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
BUEGETTSTowN, Dec. 21.-To correct
the charge made against Rev. j. L. Weaver,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church here, by
two members of the session that ne had lost
his influence over the young men of this
community, the following paper. signed by
6S young men, was read after service yes
terday:
We, the undersigned young men in this
Presbyterian Church of Burgettstown, Pa,
having been misrepresented in statement
made to our pastor, Rev. J. L. Weaver, that
by h1s preaching the truth from his pulpit
i'll said church, as he understands it, he had
sire to say to the pastor and his congrega-
tiOn that such a statement was unauthor-
lied by us, and we desire that no change be
maGe with regard to his preaching the truth,
as he understands it.
Rev..Mr Weaver had preached sermon
denouncing secret societies, especially the
Masonic fraternity. This resulted in de-
mand being made and accepted by the pastor
that he resign.
A special telegram to The DISPATCH from
New Brighton, says: Rev. DR.. Dunlap
Moore, pastor of the Presbyterian Church
here, who was arrested this morning on a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Margaret Beigh-
ley, charging him with assaulting her IL
year-old son, Dale. with cane, appeared
before Justice Fisher to-day, as did also
the other parties interested. After long
consultation Rev. Mr.. Moore pleaded not
guilty and waived hearing for his ap-
pearance at court He gave bail in the sum
of $500, ex-Congressman c. c. Townsend
going on his bond Addison Wilson,
dairyman, has taken up the case for the
lad, and it will be tried at the March term.
DR.. Moore is accused of having gone to
and having given the boy Gaming when he
came to the door, on account of personal
encounter between young Beighley and the
doctors son. Alfred, in which the latter was
worsted. The doctor strenuously denies
the charge, and public opinion is divided,
some refusing to believe it, and claiming
that the story is exaggerated by persons
unfriendly to the reverend gentleman.

C0NN0R FOR PHILADELPHIA.
Roger Will Stay There apd Richardson Goe,
to New York.

New YORK, Dec. 2L-[SoecioL l-Roger Con-
nor " i'll play first base Tor the Philadelphia
League team next season. This is the result
of an understanding between the New York
York and Philadelphia clubs, by which the
latter waived claim to Richardson and the
New York managers yielded any rights they
might have in the case of Connor. As stated
in THE DISPATCH, Ewing will play on first
base. This was corroborated by Manager
Powers, who said to a reporter to-day:
ut has always been our intention, in case
we failed to get Taylor, to play Ewing on
first, ana present Appearances will alternate
Ewing and Boyle in that position. My
preference in the matter is to play Ewing be-
hind the bat, providing his arm will permit
him to do the work properly, in which event
Boyle would go to first base. Boyle is hard,
reliable hitter, always being around the 800
mark, and is a good man to play in every
game. By alternating Ewing and Boyle at
first base, We should have eight men playing
together in every game which is an excellent
thing. With Ewing or Boyle on first. Rich
ardson at second, Fuller short and Bassett
t.nrd, we shall nave grand infield. Rusle,
King and John Ewing make trio OF
pitchers to be proud of, and this young man
Van Zant is liable to surprise people Behind
the bat Ewing, Boyle, Moran and some other
good man will do the work WELL and our
outield is the same last season. New
York will be 'in it, although opposed by Ii
other strong teams am confident that in
comparison with the great baseball battle of
1882, all others will pale into insignifcance."

LOCAL BALL CLUB AFFAIRS,

Manager Buckenberger Signs Denny Lyons
Talk About Grimm and Farrell
The fact that the local ball club has been
for several weeks trying to secure Denny
Lyons to play third base here has often been
mentioned in this paper. Yesterday Man
ager Buckenberger returned from Cincin-
natl bringing with him. a contract bearing
Denny's signature. Lyons will play here
next season as there are no objecting parties
to the contract.
Yesterday Vice President Kerr stated that
the club still expects to be allowed to retain
Grimm and it is also hoped that Farrell will
be allowed to play here. Now that Weaver
won't come here the idea is TO put Farrell in
the outfeld if regular first-class fielder
cannot be secured. OF course Whitney will
not be needed now that Lyons is signed.
Mr. Kerr states that that no more players
are needed at present.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, Dec. 2L-Jim Corbett' S
manager called upon Charley Mitchell this
morning and asked him what he intended
to do about making match with the Cali
fornia champion. Mitchell would give no
direct reply, except that he would meet
Corbett under Loudon rules. In the after
noon Corbett and his manager came upon
Mitchell, Slavin and half dozen of their
friends seated in the Hoffman House bar.
Jere Dunn stepped up to Corbett and
induced him to go over to where the En-
glishman and Australian were sitting.
Having become seated Corbett said:
'Don't you think we ought to come to
some understandings
"What do you mean by an understand
ing?" answered Mitchell
Corbett Wants to Know.
'You have said YOU would meet me-" re-
Joined Corbett, "and I'd like to know when
and where. SUIT yourself about that
''Oh, well," said Mitchell, 'let's wait
until tomorrow to talk it over. Meantime,
let's have drink
''Where can 1 meet you tomorrow"
asked Corbett.
Mitchell proposed the Poles Gazette Office,
but Corbett wouldn't go there. The men
finally agreed to meet at the Clipper Office.
Slavin to-day issued a challenge to john
l. Sullivan. He said: 81 think can whip
John L. Sullivan or anv other man in
America and that is the purpose am in
this country for. / am willing t. meet the
best man in this country, with Sullivan
preferred.
Then a desultory conversation ensued,
and some quick talk was indulged in be-
tween the men apropos of the meeting of
the famous pugilists. 81 am here" said
Siavin, "to meet the best man this country
can produce and select Sullivan as the man. -
sullivan Wants Too Much.
Sullivan, so said Slavin. was asking for
too much time. "This thing of Sullivan's
hackers having their money living idle for
eight months is not proper business. am
in this business for money. L am here pre-
pared TO fight, and / can finish training in
ten weeks. L am willing to allow Sullivan
much more time, but it is simply unreasor-
able for him to say he does not think he can
fight before October, 1922
A special dispatch from San Francisco
says that Sullivan declines to make match
with Slavin at present. This announcement
has caused great disappointment among
John L. S friends.
