Onr Sluggers Get a Forfeited Game From the Cleveland Pennant Winners. Our Sluggers gained the easiest victory of the year yesterday at Exposition Park. They were on the grounds to tackle the CleTelands to decide the tic game of Tuesday, But the Forest City fellows were not there. Accord in!; to their declar- AT7)f-L a t i o n Tuesday I Ll tt evening they had CTO.RY jA le't tor home. TJm- the local team were on the grounds. There were about 50 peo ple present, and" fter Ehret had pitched three balls across Hie plate Umpire Gaffney gave the game to the local team, 9 to 0. There will be no dispute about the decis ion of the umpire, but the local club in tends to try and enforce a fine of 1,000 on the Cleveland club lor their team tailing to show up. The rules are not very definite on this point. The Cleveland officials claim that they cannot be fined aud .Manager Buckenbergcr claims they can. The ab sence of the team lost the home club f 1,000 at least, and if the Clevelands had stopped here the players would have lost a benefit at home. It is likely that an effort will be made to have the team fined, although the "Washington club has not yet been fined for leaving the field here. The victory yesterday puts the local team once more into third place and they will have to hustle to keep it. Last evening the team left lor Cincinnati, where they will play to-day and Saturday. Baldwin will likely pitch to-day. Umpire Gaffney, before going to the grounds, was very undecided as to what coarse to pursue. The Cleveland club hau wired him that the team could not play here yesterday and be in Louisville on time to piay to-day. The umpire looked up the railroad schedule and found that the Cleve lands could have played here yesterday and be in Louisville on time to-day. He, there fore, resolved to give the geme to Pittsburg. Baltimore, 9 New York, 4. NewYouk, Oct. 12. The Giants wore not playing hniuor to-day, and theyclosod the season at the Polo Grounds with a defeat. Attendance 59J. Score: M.W YOCK.

Corbett, when questioned here to-day about the statement that Fitzsimmons has said that he wauts to meet the champion, answored that ho would not discuss the man, as Fitzsimmons is not in his class. Neither would he discuss Goddard and his manifesto, for lie has no claim upon the championship in any way. "When 1 get ready to tight," said Corbett "I will put up my money and dare Mitchell to cover it: if he llocs not, then I will meet anj- man in tho world, Jackson preferred. Barring myself, I believe Jackson to be the best man above ground. I think that I can lick him and bellevo that I fairly did so when I met him betore." "How about Sullivan t" "I don't believe that John wants to meet me. I don't believe he ever said he did. If ho does he doesn't need money for a forfeit, I will fight him for the purse which any club will otTcr." The champion says that he likes acting very well, but he is greatly annoyed by the crowds which run after him. "I cannot walk out upon tho streets like another man," he complains.

It is now assured that .two morepiomlsing candidates for the 'varsity team will bo obliged to discontinue practice during the remainder of the present season. They are Cross and Coxe. Cioss is the fieshman from the Groton school, who lia's been playing such a plucky game at right guard that his chances were considered of the best for dropping into that posltiqn. before tho championship fames. His father is opposed to the game us played at colleges, and has absolutely forbidden his son to take part in the contest at Yale. Coxe has played but threo days this year. He and Cochrano were having a pretty race lor the vacant position "of right end rush, with the chances slightly in Coxo's favor, when he in mod his neck last week, and it has grown woise ever since. The physi cian in attendance savs the wrench is too severe to admit of his playing any more this year. Wallace, '89, arrived Monday and coached the team thut'iilternodn, giving special at tention to the ends. Tho feature of the practice the past two or threo days has been the clever work done by Jenkins, a Junior, who received his preliminary training at Harvard. Ho is putting up a brilliant game as guard on tno second eleven, and the ap pearances indicate that he will be put on the 'varsity team in a few days. Yesterday's Football.

A racing Horse Poisoned to Death to Hob the Public Philadelphia, Oct. 12 One of the most fla grant cases of attompted swindling that has over been tried at a trotting meeting in this vicinity was exposed to-day at Point Broezo by tho death on tho race track of the doc tored horse. Two heats in the 2:22 pacing class were paced yesterday and the gelding GroverS, the property or William Shanley, thopropnetorof tho Lewis House at Bing hit niton, N. Y., was a hot favorito in the betting. Grover S won one heat yesterday and captured tho first heat to-day putting two to his credit. When the horse went away from the pole In the second heat this afternoon he had nearly reached the first quarter when he suddenly fell and when tho judges reached tho place where ho lay tho animal was dead. Suspicion was immediately directed to Shanley and Joseph A. Lyman, the driver of the horse. Both men denied having given the horse anything, but a veterinarian who was present made a hurrieC autopsy of the animal's stomach and found traces of poison. After, a brief consultation, tho judges ex polled Shanley and Lyman from the tiacks of tho association forever. Roll Hollister, aprodnce dealer of Blng hamton, and a friend of Shonley's was also expelled as an accessory. If Grover S had only been stuplfled by the drug instead of being killed, and had lost tire heat, Shanloy and his friends would have won between $,C00 and $5,030. The second division of the 2:20 trotting class was won lv Kitty-Frazier, und tho 2:35 class was unfinished.

The PUots of Trotting Horses Combine to Protect Their Interests. Lexington, Oct. 12. Special. The Na tional Drivers' Association was organized hero Monday nighr, adjourning nt mid night. Charles Marvin was elected Presi dent and Crlt Davis Vice President. Other officers will be elected by a Board of Gover nors. By-laws und constitution were adopted. The Drivers Association is expected to be one of the most beneficial movements ever inaugurated among tho trotting horse men of the country. The Idea is that the association will embrace in 'its member nip every respectable driver In the Unltod States and Canada. The objects or the as sociation have not been lully defined, but from interviews with leading drivers it is learned that many of the abuses Buffered by drivers at present will bo corrected in so far as concertod action on their part will correct. They want more competent men in the Judges' stand, and they want starters who will be sufficiently competent to get tho horses off on as nearly even terms as possible. They want the right of a lair and open trial whtn charged with fraud, finally, they want to elevate tho profession to that standard which Its merits warrant. FAST TIME AT LEXINGTON. Ryland T Wins the Free-for-AU Trot After Five Good Heats. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 12 About 7,000 people witnessed the sport at the track of the Jlen tucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association to-day. The track was in excellent con dition, and the time made was faster than the class in which the starters were entered.

Yon may lemember that you put into my parlor over three years ago one of your Con over pianos' and tested it side by side with one of the highest-priced instruments made. On the basis of that test I purchased the Conover piano. That decision Ims been fully Justified' by nearly four years' use or the instrument. The points which commend this piano to careful purchasers are thcc: 1. Its purity and sweetnens of tone. 2. Its combination of power with sweetness. 3. Its fine mechanical adjustment of kevsfor ease and precision of execution. 4. Its ca pacity for remaining long in tune. Only an instrument of lirst-clnss make will stand this test. 5. Tho exrollcnco or its frame, resisting oven Pittsburg'. and Allegheny's try'"S Kus fires. This helps to account for tho length of t'nie it will remain in time. To Messrs. II.
