GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

There will be q very important meeting
Of the Pittsburg Cricket Club this evening
at George Tann's, Tenth street. President
Goodwin and Secretary Matthews have re-
solved to tender their designations and with
draw from the club entirely. There are
various rumors current as to the causes for
the designations. One is to the effect that
everything is not going smoothly along, but
this was emphatically denied last evening
by Secretary Matthews. During a CONVEX
sation he said:
Everything is all right in the club, and
Mr. Goodwin and myself are resigning
simply because we have not time to devote
10 the club. That is the only reason for our
designations, and the club will undoubtedly
go along as usual When we took hold the
club was in debt and we leave it with a
balance. 1 will turn over all correspond
ence to the new secretary and help him IN
any way that can. We have three en-
gagemenrs pending. The Toronto team
want to come here and play US a game, we
TO allow them 5000 expenses. They may be
engaged. The Chicago club wants us to 60
10 Chicago, but only wants to pay us goo,
while we paid them $3.50 to come here. L
think the local players will not go to Chi
cago except on the same terms as the Chi
cagos came here. The Youngstown
club wants us to go there and play game
This may be done.
Regarding the prospects for a football
league here next fall Mr.. Matthews stated
that in all probability there would be a
league. as there would be more football
PLAYING next tall than there has ever been.
If the English champion team come to this
country an effort will be made to try and
get them to play here. A strong team
could be got together here to tackle
them, and quite an exciting game could be
played.

The Boston Herald has this to say of boot
good request for boots and shoes from the
jobbers in some sections of the count try and
they are ia king very freely of samples. The
volume OF case orders is not great yet ex-
cept in the way of special lines of goods, but
these case orders usually come from a brisk
demand foc samples. Trade with the South
does not improve. while tho Western trade
is doing better. In the Southwest the lob
bers have bought quite freely, but generally
it is ut prices that are not very satisfactory,
except for the special lines that are feature
of the market. The volume of trade here in
person is not as large as a week ago, but still
there are good many houses Of Importance
represented.
There are no particular changes in the
leather market. Finished leather is very
steady, and, though the volume OF trade is
rather light, vet the position is better sus-
tanned than month ago. Special makes
and spedal lines of leather are still strong
OF leather are well sold up. The market is
not changed in the way of quotations.
