 dent Shnfger still Hopeful.
 PETERSBURG, July 13.-The steel con ference adjourned at 4:30 o'clock yester- day to meet again today. President Shaf- fer said the day had been devoted to dis cussion and nothing definite had been done.
 Although the meetings are held behind closed doors and the proceedings guarded with great secrecy, it is learned that the entire day was given over to discussion, each side putting it's best foot forward to gain a point Nothing, however, was ac- complished.
 When the conference was adjourned, all of the conferees were appealed to for information as to the status of affairs, but nothing definite could be learned. Late last night, however, President Shaf- fer of the Amalgamated association con sented to be quoted ill the following state ment:
 Nothing actually was accomplished to- day. No proposition was submitted by either side to the controversy. No time limit has been set on the conference, but it must come to an end. Tomorrow must settle it one way or another. If no agree ment is reached, the general strike which was set for last Monday will proceed. ana still hoping for settlement"
 When asked if in the event of a strike it would involve all the plants of the United States Steel corporation, MT. Shaffer replied, Every union man in ev- cry plant in any way connected with the Steel corporation will be called out, and we have many members in mills where they are not suspected by the manufac- turers."
 A general strike, if ordered, would in clude the union workers in the Federal Steel company, the National Steel com pany, the American Tin Plate company, the American Sheet Steel company and the American Steel Hoop company and all members in nonunion or open mills, aggregating about 80,0o0 men, would be affected. But it is believed by conserva- tive steel men that compromise will be reached and a strike averted.

Derby here on Monday.

Gatins of Brooklyn and Hayward of the New England league have been signed by Hartford. Nelson's release has been recalled by New York.
 Recent figures showed Nichols1at the top of the league batting heap, proba- bly the first time on record pitcher has occupied that exalted station.
 The base ball nine of the Merrimae A. c. is crossing bats with the Thom- astons in Thomaston to-day. Man. ager Ghents expects to gain victory.
 We start off next week with two home games and the fans should come out an encourage the team for the good work the boys have been doing this week.
 The Bostons did not score a run in the last twenty-three innings they played at Pittsburg, and made only four runs in the entire thirty--nine in- nings they played there.
 Detroit has signed player named Dave Crockett, and the wits are al- ready at work, for Crockett is said to have as good an eye for a base ball as his nameSake had for a gun.
 Murphy, late of New Haven played another star game yesterday for the Boston National league team. He made two runs, had a single and a double, three putouts and one assist.
 Joe Connor caught in yesterdays game for Milwaukee and had seven putouts, two assists and three hits. There were only six hits made by the Milwaukee team, which was badly beaten.
 That was pretty tough game to lose with Norwich having but five hits and our side having eight. We cannot al ways have the luck our way though loss of the game.
 Manager Connor had but five putouts in the game yesterday and that showed that the outfield was doing something in the line of taking down high ones. There were eleven putouts in the out field, six by Weisbecker, four by Court ney and one by Matthews.
 The Young B. 4. c. defeated the Brook Street nine yesterday morning by the score of 15 to 14. They would like 60 arrange a game with the Ham, ilton Park Stars for the championship. They will play the Brook Streets again next week, and if they win they will get the caps promised by Phelan, the 1 tea man.
 Weisbecker is continuing his good work with the stick and in the field and yesterday his work was of the star or der. He will be up with the leaders ii he keeps up that style of playing. He had seven chances in the field and tooE them all but one and some of then were peaches.
 George Mahoney. the big fellow whe once was noted as a pitching wonder while with the Georgetown university team, has been made member of the Boston police force. Mahoney had : brief trial with the St Louis team that was not productive of good re suits for him, and he lost ambition.
 Hartman, who covered third base for New York during the Joyce regime is not likely to play third for Comis keys Chicago Americans any more this season. He has not been released outright. but it seems he and Comiskey have had a difference Hartman, it is said, was dissatisfied with his pay.

Fitzsimmons and sharkey are Matched
 to Meet On the Mat.

FitZSimmonS and Sharkey are Matched
 to Meet On the Mat.
 Despite Bob Fitzsimmons's defeat by Gus Ruhlin at Madison Square Gar den last Tuesday in a wrestling bout, the hard-hitting Cornishman is confi- dent that he knows enough about the game to defeat some of the other fight CTS. It was learned yesterday that i'm mediately after Fitz's' essay with the Akron Giant he was approached by Tom Sharkey in regard to a match. Barney Reich, Sharkey's manager, was present and after some talk Lanky Bob consented to take the quondam sailor on. The affair will in all probability be decided at the Garden some time next month. Sharkey thinks that he will throw the ex-champion and is prepared to bet $1,000 on the outside on his chances. The bout is to be at mixed style, catch-as-catch-ca and Graeco- Roman. Sharkey said syester- day that he has been compelled to post pone his match with Prof Atlas, which is lated for next Monday night at Bridgeport, owing to a misunderstand- ing as to the number of falls which Atlas had to score to get the verdict. Sharkey wants Atlas to agree to throw him three times in one hour, while the professor thinks it enough to put the ex-sailor down twice in that time.
 Terry McGovern has an idea that he can become as good a wrestler as he is a fighter, and those who have seen his tussles in private on the mat are in clined to believe him. McGoyern is anxious to tackle George Bothner, the wrestling instructor of the Pastime A. G., and has issued challenge to the latter. Charley Harvey, Bothner's manager, says that George will accept, and articles clinching contest will in all probability be signed in a few days. Bothner weighs 130 pounds in condi- ton and is nearer to Terry's height and weight than any other wrestler.
 Harvey Parker, the great light weight wrestler, is out with chal- 1enge through his manager, J. F. Dunn, to wrestle any of the heavyweight pugilists, including Joe Walcott. Dunn says that Parker can throw any of the fighters three times, at catch-as-catch- can wrestling, in an hour. A match with Tom Sharkey is one which Par ker is anxious to get on. Manager Dunn states that Parker will agree to put the shoulder of the husky sailor on the mat four times within an hour l or lose the money.
