TURMOIL AT PlTTSBURG.
"A Fight, n Rotten-Egging and Two
Good Games of Ball.

Pittsburg, July 22,--The 500 people at
the ball park today saw a prize fight, an
umpire rotten egged and two good games
all for one price of admission. In the
third inning of the first game. Sheridan
gave a batsman his base on balls and
when he went out behind the pitchers
box to watch second. Hawley said some
thing to him and Sheridan struck Pink"
q blow on the cheek. Hawley retalated
and with two well aimed blows knocked
Sheridan down and out. Hawley was put
out of the game and Hastings substituted.
In the second game Hawley was put in
TO pitch and jennings, the third man up,
was given first on what Sheridan called
an Illegal delivery. This set the crowd
wild and in a few minutes shower of
ill-smeiling eggs fell around the umpire
and he had to stop the game until Captain
Donovan could come in from the field
and restore order. Both games were well
played. Score:

BILL SCHRIyER WAS GREEN.
His First Trip to st. Louis Was an
Eye.ODener.

Bill Schriver the Cincinnati catcher,
was a trifle green when he first signed
with the Brooklyn club a dozen years
ago, says the Sun. Bill was a typical
countryman, but was such promis-
ing ball player that the Brooklyn club
decided TO take him on a western trip.
Where are we going?" Bill asked
the manager as they boarded a train
at Jersey City.
"Out west" was the laconic reply
Then Bill sat beside a window and
gazed at the country, passing rapidly
by. When the train reached Newark
Schriver looked around at the other
players and then sank back I'm his seat
He was apparently nervous about
something and kept fidgetng until the
train rolled into Trenton. Then he
grabbed his valise and batbag and
moved rapidly towards the door.
Hey, there, Bill" yelled the play
ers, ''where are you going?"
"Why, amt this the end of our
route?" asked the catcher. How much
further have we got to travel. any
how?" When Bill finally reached ST,
Louis he was in a sort of trance.

FASTEST IN THE WORLD.
Splendid Run of the Readings FLYER
to Atlantic City--Averaged Seventy
Miles an Hour.

Mics an hOuTs
The fastest regular train in the world
was yesterday (July p put into ser
vice on the Readings Atlantic City
line, and for the opening day the COM
pany scored a rare triumph in phe-
nomenal run, making the entire dis
tance from Camden to the shore in As
minutes, or at an average speed of 70
miles an hour. The run was made in
minutes less than the regular sched.
ule, but so evenly and smoothly did
the train glide over the solid road-bed
that nobody on board, except profess
sional railroad men, knew what rec
ord-break!ng run was being made.
The new train is scheduled to carry
passengers from this city to the shore
in 60 minutes. OF that time eight min
utes are allowed for the ferry to Cam
den and transfer to the cars there
leaving So minutes for the run of 55ls
miles to Atlantic City. The boats leave
Chestnut and South streets, in this
city, at $40 p. m, and the train is
scheduled to leave Camden at 3.4S, ar
irving at Atlantic City at 4.40.
RECORD-BREAKIN RUN BEGAN.
A slight delay at the ferry made the
train 2R minutes late in leaving Cam
den, and 1t was just 3.50h when En-
gineer Charles FAIL pulled the throttle
valve of the big Baldwin compound
engine No. 1927, and began the record
breaking run. There were five cars in
the train. a Pullman, a combination
| and three ordinary passenger cars. All
| five cars were filled with passengers.
The run through the outskirts of
| Camden, over the West Jersey tracks,
| and through nearby villages, was
necessarily made at a slightly reduced
rate of speed; but by the time STRAIT
ford, 10 miles out, was reached, the
train was literally flying. There was
no perceptible let up until the meadows
on the other side OF Pleasantville were
reached, and a few minutes later the
| train glided into the Atlantic City depot
| at 4.3S1a, one and a half minutes ahead
| of the schedule time, and As minutes
after leaving Camden, having made the
run at an average speed of 70 miles an
| hour.
NEARLY 80 MILES AN HOUR.
| While the minutes were made up
all along the route there were sections
when a speed of nearly 80 miles an
hour was reached. According to the
regular schedule the seven miles from
Brigantine Junction to Pleasantville
are made in five minutes, or at a speed
of S4 miles an hour The 26 miles from
Winslow Junction to Pleasantville are
scheduled for 21 minutes, or 74.2S miles
an hour, and in this run it is safe to
say that the speed was nearly, if not
quite, at the rate of so miles an hour
for that distance, as it covers the sec
ton of the road best adapted for fast
running.--Phila. Record, July 3, 1897.

BIG PRIZE MONEY.
$4,000 for the Winners at the Big
l., A. w. National Meet

Philadelphia, July 22.-Tha worriment
manifested in some quarters lest the
money prizes hung up at the coming
national meet should not prove sufi1-
ciently allur1ng to attract the cracka-
jacks is entirely unnecessary. The
sum OF $2500 was voted tothe race meet
committee for prizes--surely a hand
some amount for two days race meet.
Nm fact the average value of the purses
hung up each day has never been ex-
ceeded at any previous national race
meet.
AS to the professional champion
ships, there's not a man on the cir
cult who isn't aware that there is con-
siderably more in the winning of q
national championship race than the
golden medal indicative thereof If any
one has any doubts as to the correct
ness of the statement, let him come
to Philadelphia next August and wit
ness the bitter struggles that Will char
acterize the decision of these most i'm
portant events. With no race meets
scheduled between the 4th and 9th of

crackajacks within easy distance Of

of them will fail to take a flyer at the

Willow Grove on the 9th and 7th. Be-
sides, not few of the circuit chasers

Run Over by Hack Horses.

A man named George B. Chase, residing
on Tying street, was passing through
Monument square late Saturday evening
and turned to go on to the sidewalk in
front of Guppy's drug store, passing in
front of Tom Jordan's hack horses, who
were standing in front of the store. In
going by the horses in some way he acei-
deHtly brushed against one of them,
which frightened the animal and he
started Up suddenly, knocking Mr.. Chase
down, and both horses started on the run,
the team passing over him.. The horses
were stopped and MI. Chase picked up
and taken to the police station and Dr.
o. 2. Smith, the city physician sum-
noned- 1t was thought at first that Mr.
Chase was quite badly injured but after a
careful examination the doctor said that
no bones were broken, and there were no
signs Of internal injuries. In short
time Mr.. Chase was taken to his home.
