TWENTY-FIVE DEAD BOOSTERS
And ANY Amount of Dead Drunlks at q Big
OHIO Cooking Main,

And ANY Amount of Dead Drunlks at q Big
Onio Cooking Main.
GAINESVILLE, O., May 1L-[SpectaL J. The
greatest cooking main ever held in South
eastern Ohio took place to-day and tonight
at Pierce's Island, in the Muskingum river,
seven miles north of here. Two hundred
sports from Newark, Circleville, Redield,
New Lexington and other towns chartered
the steamer Emma and left for the battle
ground early this morning with fully 100
birds. A large quantity of liquor was taken
along.
The first main was nine pittings. between
GAINESVILLE and Newark, on which the bet
ting was fast and furious. GAINESVILLE won
eight out of the nine and pocketed no less
than 81, ,OOO This main lasted the greater
part of the day, and by the time it was fin
ished a large number OF those on the ground
were intoxicated.
Two men named White and Carr got into
an alteration over the stakes of side bet,
and a general free-for-all fight ensued. in
which dozen men were more or less In
jured, some of them quite seriously. Re-
volvers were drawn and some shooting
done. but all bullets went wide of the mark.
Peace was finally restored, and the match
of five pittings, between GAINESVILLE and
Redfeld. was begun. GAINESVILLE won three
out of the five. and the home sports added
materially to the profits of the day. Numer-
GUS side pttings were made, the total num-
Der being 50. Twenty-Five birds were left
dead in the pits and no less than $1,000
changed hands.

O'Clock, and telephoned at O'Clock for the PLAYERS
to come to the grounds They arrived there before

President Day and Captain Ewing and no umpire
having appeared, concluded to return Ito the hotel.
We did not leave the grounds. however, before
4:l5 O'Clock. and as were driving through the
gate at 400 O'Clock. Umpire Macullar jumped on
the bus and asked If we had not better return and
start the game. 1 asked Macullar distinctly If he
honestly Thought the grounds were in fit condition
to play upon. He refused to say that they were.
1t had been raining hard all day We advised Ma
cular that after the time advertised for calling the
game he had lost all jurisdiction, and we decided
not to return.

prfncipled manager takes unfair advantage of
an ignorant umpire somebody has got 10 suffer,
unless the manager makes mistake. This time
we think the PiItsburg manager has made a bad
blunder. Macullar, at 4:25 o'clock. decided the

A Few Important Turf Decisions bv the
Board of Review.

Board of Review.
CHICAGO May 1l.-[SpeciaL 1.-The Board of
Review of the National Trotting Association
rendered several decisions at its meeting to-
day. In the case of the horse Alcryon,
which was ruled off in the notorious race
with the stallion Nelson, the matter was
turned over to the President, Ex-Governor
Bulkeley, of Connecticut, and pending his
decision the driver was temporarily REIN
stnted. A check for S. 900, which one of the
parties is alleged to have secured from a
pool seller just before the race, caused the
trouble.
A. E. Alvord. of Syracuse, who was ex-
PEELED on the charge Of entering the mare
Matte X in a wrong class and under an as

four owners were charged with entering
horses under assumed names, or "ringing,"
were disposed of by imposing small fines.
