Conway pitched a good game, hot was not well supported. Burdock's admirable play at second and bis batting were the features of the game. Score: ,

The visitors were in great form, and O'Day, their pitcher, was very effective. Brown appears to be going backward, and it might be said that his poor support of Welch lost the Giants tbe game. The playing of Richardson at second base was first class. For tbe visitors tbe honors were shared equally, but tbe playing of Shock, Myers and O'Brien was especially worthy of mention. The game was called at tbe end of tbe eighth inning on account of rain. Score:

South Bend, Ind.. Sept 7. The Indianapolis

club to-day defeated tbe Greenstockings, of this city, by tbe score of eleven to two. Leitner

could have easily shot the home team oat had

not Hackett dislocated his thumb. This neces

sitated a change in tbe nine, Denny going be

hind tbe bat and Boyle, to third.. Boyle made two costly errors in tbe second inning, and these

gave tbe home club a chance to score. If Denny had been on third the Greenstockings would

have been shut out In tbe eighth inning the

crowd began calling for Boyle, as tbey wanted to see him, and so in the ninth Manager Fogel

tr ratified them by ordering Bovle into tbe box.

Seerr going to third and Leitner into left.

Boyle only pitched eleven balls, and the home

ciub was retired. Denny caught splendidly, and Bassett. at short, and Gardner, at second.

were frequently applauded for their brilliant

worK.

Deacon White says it is a useless expenditure

of money to employ three or four pitchers. One

man can, if necessary, pitch week in and week

out, unless he becomes injured, and if tbe sys

tem of maintaining several batteries were abolished the result would be equally beneficial

from every stand-point

Several clubs were after Kelly to play on the Pacific coast next fall and winter, aud tbe an

nouncement has been made that he would play in several teams. Ttie Chicagos, Detroits, St Louis Browns and New Yorks were after him, and it was onlv Monday morning that he decided to go with the New Yorks.

Base-ball Club, so the News, of that plaee, says, is a boy both of whose lees are off at the thighs. He has a boy to run bases for him, and be does bis center-fielding in an invalid's chair, and catches a good many flies. When he wants to ;o wading in the river be rolls up his sleeves and walks into the water on his hands. Manaeer Mason, of the Athletics, says: "A few years aeo we bad plenty of pitchers, but to-day they are getting rarer, and good ones are a very scarce article. The East has been scoured for good men, and it is an impossibility to find any in that section. Years ago every young p'-yer wanted to be a pitcher, but today things are different. These well-founded stories of men lasting onlv a few years in the box keen the rising material from becoming pitchers, I have often asked youngsters why it is that they don't become pitchers, instead of catchers or fielders, and the universal answer has been that pitchers don't last long. Every pitcher in the country knows that bis days are numbered, and tbey generally do their work accordingly." Romeo Johnson, tbe justly celebrated Jonah of tbe Indianapolis base-ball club, arrived at home yesterday noon, having been ignominiously "fired" by tbe club at Piusbure the day before. He slipped out of the depot between tbe baggage trucks, and came in a close carriage up Tennessee street and through alleys to his rooms on North Illinois street, whence he sent out two or three of his friends to feel the public pulse and ascertain the feeling of the masses towards him before venturing on tbe streets alone. The popular verdict was that he was in bard luck enough without having extreme penalties visited on him. and be will therefore be tolerated, though be can never hope to retrain tbe standing be bad in certain circles before be took the field as a professional mascot with tbe ball club.

and among its members Johnson was referred

to as "The Blight" Concerning his case, there

can be but one conclusion, and that is that a

ma8COtbornin Centreville is a Hoodoo. Now that the club is out from under his influence, it may be fairly expected to win a game. Fast Time at Sheepshead Bay. New York, Sept. 7. The fact that there was

to be a big match race drew a tremendous

crowd to Sheepshead Bay this afternoon. The

weather was cloudy and the track fast but

dusty. The event of the day was the match

race between W. Gratz's chestnut colt Elkwood

and J. mornsey s oay geiaing ranoarg, ior $5,009 a side and $1,000 added by the Jockey

Club. The distance was one mile and a quarter.

Elkwood was ridden by McLaughlin, and carried 118 pounds. Banburg had Hamilton for a jockey, and carried 105 pounds. In the pools Elkwood sold for $13 and Banburg for $40. They

went away on even terms, but Elkwood at once

drew two lengths away and set the pace, but not a very fast one, aud Banburg gradually crawled up on bim and was ouly half a length behind at the bead of the stretch, and it was seen that Elkwood was as good as beaten when McLaneh-

lin began to whip. Gradually, apnarantly without effort, Banburg drew up, passed his competitor at the sixteenth pole, and won without a touch of the whip by about a length. Time;

2:07.

Tne other events, 1 tr their order, were: First Race One mile. Stuyvesant won by a

head, without whipping; Favor second, Choctaw third. Time, 1:40 never beaten in an actual race.

an open lengtn, opeeaweu secona, uameua third. Time, 1:02.

Third Race The Average stakes; one and

thrre-sixteentbs of a mile. Joe Cotton won by a short leneth. Time, 2:00, beating the record.

Fourth Race The Match race, as above. Fifth Ract- Handicap; one and one eighth of

a mile. Swift won by a bead; Brown Duke second, Florence M. third. Time, 1:56.

Sixth Race Selling; seven eighths of a mile.

Little Minnie won by two lengths; Patrocles

Picturesque Talk by Mr. Sheedy. New York special. Pat Sheedy and Mrs. Pet Sheedy to-day came to town to select a ship to carry tbem to England. Mr. Sheedy took time to say that John L. Sullivan and be were still "at outs," in spite of the rumor of a reconciliation. "There's no sentiment about it.' he said. "It's purely business. If I manage a pugilist it isn't because I like pugilism or care anything about pugilists, but its business. I manage a pugilist Just as 1 might manage a big Newfoundland dog for the money there is in bim. I've never seen a pueilist yet that I considered my equal, and I don't expect to. If Sullivan didn't know I was his superior he wouldn't give me dollar for dollar with himself out of tbe profits. He gets bis dollarfor his muscle and I get mine for my brains, and brains are better than muscle every time. "Sullivan complains that I pay attention to the newspaper men and get too many notices. He's right there; I do pay a heap of attention to the newspapers, and it's well for bim I do. Neither of us would have amounted to much if it hadn't been for the newspapers. He didn't have a nasty notice while I was managing bim, just because I kept bim straight and paid attention to the newspapers, and for two months after he broke away I stayed around Boston hoping he'd settle down again, and keeping the newspapers tlere from going for him. "Sullivan says 1 made him iplav second fiddle. That's just what I did, and mat's all tbe fiddle he ever will play if be travels with me. When I began to manage Sullivan I let the public know that be would act like a gentleman and not drink. I kept my word. He quit acting like a gentleman and I quit managing him If he wants me to maoace him again be knows how he caught me. I'll take him back on the same terms; but I'm not running after bim. It is possible that be may settle down and swear off again, but if my future depended on the chance of John L. Sullivan quitting rum ray prospects would be poor, I'm rather expecting be will be in New York this week to see the Kilrain-Mitchell exhibition. But I don't think it's likely I'll see him. I hear be is going to challenge Mitchell and Kilrain both. "I'm going ahead with other business without regard to the chance of Sullivan wanting me to manage him. I can get $250,000 backing for a hotel in London to be run with a bar and cafe, after the American style, and if I can find a location to suit me when I get there, that's what I'm going into, Sullivan or no Sullivan."

The Silent Statesman. Philadelphia Inquirer. George William Curtis declines to talk for

publication at present, preferring to exercise

what be cans his "good gift for silence." When

a man has a magazine and two newspapers in which to express himself, there doesn't seem to be much reason why he should talk for publication at any time.

Force of Habit

Tbe Earth.

In tbe midst of a fervent exhortation to sin

' - The Oorrect Time. There are very few men who do not pride

themselves on always having the correct time; and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are devised to enable them to do so. But the more

delicate a chronometer is made the more subject it becomes to derangement, and unless it be kept always perfectly clean it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder, then, that the human machine so much more delicate and intricate than any work of man should require to be keDt thoroughly cieansed. The liver is the main-sprine of this complex structure, and on the impurities left in the blood by a disorderdd liver depend

most of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even consumption (which is lung scrofula) is traceable to

the imperfect action of this organ. Kidney dis

eases, sKin diseases, sick headache, heart dis

ease, dropsy, and a long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in a torpid or sluggish liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical discovery, by establishing a healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as a care and preventive of these diseases. t

THE ELDER GARRETT AND "BOB.

A Memorable Visit of the Vanderbllts and Col. Scott to Baltimore Recalled. Baltimore Special. The recent Baltimore & Ohio deal recalls an incident connected with the management of the railroad when John W. Garrett was its president, which illustrates forcibly tbe desire of the elder Garrett to hold the corporation clear of all entangling alliances with its bis railway rivals, and also his ability to grapnle with tbe situation, and hold his own in dealing with the biggest railway magnates of the country. It was after one of the big freight wars a dozen or so years ago that the B. & O. bad been cutting into its big rivals' business, and it was very desirable for all concerned that that there should be peace. Repeated overtures bad been made to Mr. Garrett for a compromise, and be was anxious that it should be made, but be wanted it made in his own way, and as nearly as possible fin his own terms. Where tbe conference should be held was a matter of considerable importance. If Mr. Garrett went to New York, where he had been invited to go, it would have indicated an anxiety for a settlement on bis part at least be thought so for a compromise, and though anxious for tbe war to end be declined to go. He, however, extended invitations to the trunkline Presidents to come to this city and this they finally did. Thus one point was scored for the B. & O. A special train from New York, on which were Commodore Vanderbilt, then president of the New York Central road; his son, tbe late William H. Vanderbilt; the late Thomas A. Scott then president of the Pennsylvania road, and others steamed into Union Station one bright spring morning. Carriages were in waiting and the distinguished parties were driven to the Mount Vernon Hotel, where Mr. Garrett smilingly greeted them as they entered a private parlor. A two hours' conference settled the whole business, the details of which are not important, but Mr. Garrett got for his road better terms tnan even he had hoped for. , The magnates dined together and the visitors were 6oon whisking homeward on a train that made the ran to Philadelphia in less than two bourc. The conference was of course held with closed doors, and reporters were denied information of any kind. Even the presence of the Vandernilts and Col. Scott, none of whose names appeared on the register, were denied by the clerk. About twilight a reporter rang the bell of Mr. Garrett's residence, a couple of blocks away from the Mount -Vernon Hotel (the family have since removed to tbe coiner of Cathedral street), and sent in a card. The visitor was nshered into tbe parlor and invited to step to tbe rear, where, in an ante-room or library, sitting before a blazing erate fire, sat Mr. Garrett He rose and said: "Well, young man, tell me all you know." "I really know nothing." said the reporter, hesitatingly, "beyond the fact that the conference was held, and expect you to tell me what was done." Mr. Garrett smiled. He had dined well, and

was in a good bumor. "Do you know bow much money was represented at that conference!" be asked as bis eyes twinkled merrily. "No, I do not, but I could guess." replied the reporter. "And yon miirht guess wrong," replied Mr. Garrett, "and so I'll tell von. There was more than one hundred millions of dollars in that room," and he indicated the direction of the hotel with bis thumb. "And," he added musingly, "they came to see me. I didn't go to them," and he chuckled softly to himself as he watched the bright flames crackle in the burnished grate. "But. Mr. Garrett," said the reporter, "I am waiting for the news for publication.", "Oh! I declare I forgot all about you," exclaimed the happy president fc'Yes; al; right. Go to Camden Station and Mr. King (the vicepresident and dow president of the Erie road) will tell yon all about it Everything's all right." he added, "eood evenine." "Bob"' Garrett bas probably forgotten this little "deal" of many years ago, but it was an actual occurrence, and the reporter who had the talk with Mr. Garrett is still in the flesh.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE CRATER.

An Episode of the Petersburg Fight Remembered To-Day with Horror. M ajor W. II. Powell, in September Hentnrv. "Just as 1 arrived in rear of the First division the mine was sprung. It was a magnificent spectacle, and as tbe mass of earth went np into the air, carrying with it men, euns, carriages and tjgaber, and spread out like an immense cloud as it reached its altitude, so close were the Union lines that the mass appeared as if it would descend immediately upon the troops

waiting to make the charge. This caused them to break and scatter to the rear, and about ten roinntes was spent in reforming for the attack. Not much was lost by this delay, however, as it took nearly that time for the cloud of dust to pass off. The order was then given for thead vance. As no part of the Union line of breastworks had been removed (which would have been an arduous as well as a hazardous undertaking), the troops clambered over them as best they could. This in itself broke the ranks, and they did not stop to reform, but pushed ahead toward the crater, about one hundred and thirty yards distant, the debris from tbe explosion having covered qd the abatis and the ehevaux de-frise in front of the enemy's works. "Little did those men anticipate what they would see upon arming there; an enormons hole in tbe ground, about thirty feet deep, sixty feet wide, and 170 feet long, filled with dust, great blocks of clay, guns, broken carriages, projecting timbers, and men buried in various ways some np to their necks, others np to their waists, and some with only their feet and legs protruding from the earth. One of these near me was pulled out. and he proved to be a second lieutenont of the battery which had been blown up. Tbe fresh air revived bim and he was soon able to walk and talk. He was very grateful and said that he was asleep when the explosion toot place, and only awoke to find himself wriggling in the air; then a few seconds afterward be felt himself descending, and soon lost consciousness."
