Spaldine Wants Three Players on the Sales Committee. GREGGAINS CHALLENGES FITZ. Goddard Writes a Letter Statins: That He Is in Fine Condition. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT A snggestion has been made by Manager Bnckenberger to the committee appointed to reviie the rules of thel3-club league that is worthy of attention. The ingestion re lates to tbe changing of pitchers by a side that is hopelessly behind in a game long before it is finished. During a conversa tion yesterday ifr. Bnckenberger explained his suggestion as follows: "Every season there are games wherein a pitcher is thoroughly knocked out in the first, second or third inning. The nine to which the pitcber belongs falls so far behind in the score that tbe manager does not care who is put in to relieve the knocked-out pitcher. The latter may be a good man and is consequently taken out of the box so as to try and get into better shape for another day. "When he is taken out an irifielder or outfielder is put in to finish the game, and the contest become a burlesque. The spec tators become disgusted and the game is in jured. I remember one occasion when there was a very close fight for the Association pennant between the St. Louis and Brook lyn teams. The Brooklyns went to Balti more to plav and Barnie took several of his regular fielders out of the game and filled their places with pitchers and catchers. Of course the Brooklyns won easily. I "Now, this is somethiug that a rule should prevent, and I suggest, in fact I have suggested to the Rules Committee that they make a rule providing that when a pitcher is knocked out, as we term, another bona fide pitcher replace him. Further, that no matter how Jar a team may be be hind, that no player be changed so as to palpably weaken the losing side. What I want is something that will tend to make a losing team play right to the finish just as earnestly as if they were in the lead. This, nt course, cannot be absolutely guaranteed, but something can be done to make things better than they are now." It is not generally known that A G. Spalding suggested that the Rules Commit tee consist of three plavers along with Messrs. Byrnes. Von der Horst and Brash. Like everything that Mr. Spalding has sug guested in connection with baseball the suggestion in question is a wise one. Prob ably the present committee is one of the weakest that could have been appointed. Their practical knowledge of the game is comparatively small, and if they were aided by three intelligent bali players there would be more likelihood of a sound revision of the rules. But it is not surprising that the suggestion was ignored when the nature of the element that rules the League is con sidered. It was authoritatively stated yesterday that Mr. Spalding has been importuned to once more identify himself with baseball af fairs7so as to assist in getting the national game back to its former prestige. Since he left its councils the League has gone from bad to worse, and the reason is not far to seek. Mr. Spalding, however, at present declines to re-enter the business. This re solve, it is alleged, is because the "combi nation" does not want him. It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when Mr. Spalding's wise oounsels will once more prevail,, and then there will be some hope lof the national game. "Washington Releases Dowd. TVashikgtox, Dec 1 With the advent of fam Wise to cover second base for the Washington Baseball Club there will be no necessity lor tbo services or Tommy Dowd on tbe team, but Jio will not be permitted to lemain idle. President Von der Abe, of the St. Louis club, wanted Dowd last season, but tbe Warners w ould not release him at that time, as desired, not wanting to be lett in the lurch. Now, however, they have con. sented to "waive any claim to this player, and bo has been signed by St. Louis to re place Jck Crooks at second. This deal was consummated to-day, and Dowd will leave for his new field of duty in the sprinc beinjr desirous or finishing his course of etudy at Georgetown University. Too Slany Trotters. LxrtKOTOif, Kt., Dec. L Thora is no dis guislnz the fact, trotting horse breeders are getting scared. They are evidently afraid the bottom is going to fall nut of tbe breed ing business and they are doing tbe very thing that will help to bring it about. They are crowding tbe combination salesmen with consignments; not with culls, as has been largely the custom in tbe past, but with tbe very best animals on their farms. Altogether there will be offered at public auction within the next 90 days over S 000 standard bred trotters, many of them the best In tbe land. Kotblnglike it was ever known in the history of tbe trotting horse business, and the question is, will there be enough buyers! A. II. Moore, tbe Phila delphia financier, cannot buy all the great one-t offered, as he is already pretty well stocked on account of his numerous pur chases last spring. Other big buyers must develop to save matters. Wants to Sell His Trotters. John Murphy, of the Meadow Lands Stock Farm, Is inclined to Bell his trotters. He started to sell them on Tuesday, and as only S10S was realized for one of his stal lions lie stopped the sale. He has some of the best trotting stock In the State and the low prices prevailing go to show that tbe great supply or trotting stock at present is much in excess of tbe demand. No Racing at Gattenberg. Gcttrtsebo Raob Track, Dec. L Special The heavy frost of. last night converted tbe track into a skating rink and the track was In such bad shape that at 11 o'clock the managers announoed a postponement of to day's programme until to-morrow. Creelman and Tellowly. The gentleman who left the deposit or $25 and a challenge at this office Wednesday relative to a shooting match between David Creelman and W. Tellowly writes this paper, saying that be meant his challenge to mean that Mr. Creelman would shoot Mr. Yellowly. The former called at this office yesterday and also pnt op S25 as a for feit to snoot a matoh against Mr. Tellowly so that there are two torfeits here for Mr. Creelman. The latter will meet Mr. Yellow ly at this office next Monday afternoon a t 2 o'clock prepared to make a match. Noted Rifle Shot Dead. Aitooka, ta., Dec. 1. Information reached Here to-day that Claude Daily, a noted rifle shot who had been starring in Europe after a four years' engagement with the Buffalo Bill company, had fallen a victim to cholera In Brussels. Deceased was a brother of Lillian DaUy, the actress, now In one or Frobman's companies. Daily was a fine marksman and has received valuable testl monials from notablepeople In Europe. He was 57 years old. His mother resides In Philadelphia. Detroit Wants It. DEmotT, Dec 1 An effort is being made to secure tbe national regatta of 1893 for Detroit. At a meeting or prominent citi zens held last evening a committee of IS was appointed to work tbe matter up and raise f&oeo, which amount must be id the hands of tbe National Hoard by January 4 as a guarantea. CHOYMSKl DOESN'T KKOW. Joseph Cannot Say Definitely Whether' He'll Fight Goddard or Maher. Sxw Tork, Dec I. ISneeiaL Joe Choyn ski is boxing over In Williamsburg, and on Monday nlgbt saw the now notorious Co-tello-Ureggains sprintat Coney Island. He Is well content over ,the turn affairs have taken, and is now making very good money. The Olympic Club is anxious to have him meet the winner of the Goddard-Maher orfn tost lor a $7,500 purse. Asked if he woutd accept this offer, be replied yesterday that he did not know. His business engage ments were many, he added, the combina tion Is doing well, and It will require omo thought to decide whether It would be ad visable to make the light. Clioynski's friends, however, say that suoh a fight can be arranged. Considerable In terest is now manifesting Itself In the fight between Billy Madden's protege and uis ex protege. Some runny stories are heard about the contest, and it should be lairly easy to have a sure winner on the night ot the fight. Both men are reported to be care lessly training, but no matter what kind of a contest it proves to be it Is probable that It will end In a distance run. QBSOOAIKS AFIES BIG OAKS. He "Wants to Face the Famous jniaaio- Welght Champion Fltzsimmons. Bostok, Dec 1. Alex. Grejgalns. the middle-weight boxer, arrived in Boston to day ana deposited $1,000 In defence of his claim to the middle-weight championship. He authorized tbe following telegram, which was sent this afternoon to Judge K. V. B. Newton, of the Coney Island Athletic Club: "Alex. Greggalns, by his backer, Joseph Lewis, or Boston, this day posted $1,000 with me in support or his claim to the middle weight ohamplonship or America, and he will allow the same to remain for one month. , . "He desires especially to negotiate a match with Kobert Fltzsimmons, of Aus tralia, for a purse and outside stake, and Is prepared to maKe the latter $5,000 -Simmons will battle him for the middle weight ohampionshlp of the world. A. W. Coort." Fitzsimmons is quite willing to fight Grejgains and states that he will easily de feat him. Goddard In Fine Trim. New Youk, Dec Special Joe Uod dard, who is to meet Peter Maher berore the Coney Island Club, writes to the Sun lrom Passaic U. J., that he Is in excellent Bhape and ready to step into the ring at a moment's notice. "I am backing myself heavily to win," writes Goddard, "and I can assure you that I will. The quarters whesa I am training are the best that any fighter could desire, and Jim Gibbons, who Is pre paring me for the contest, is a very able and attentive fellow. If I win this fight I wUl make rapid strides to meet Peter Jaokson again, for I am confident I can defeat him. It is not true that Billy Madden and I have lallen out. We are the best or frien,ds, and will, I hope, continue to be. Mr. Morris, of the Columbia A. C under whose colors I am going to meet Maher, was down to Bee me the other day, and he was very much im pressed with my condition. His club is bet ting heavily on the riant. At present I tip the Deam at 180 pounds, stripped. I believe that I will remain at this limit another week yet." McAullffe Is Backing Gllmore. Chicaoo. Dec L Champion Jack MoAul tffe Is baoklng ex-Champlon Harry Gilmoro for a fight between tbe latter and Walter Campbell, or New Tork. The challenge was sent to Domlnick McCaffrey, or the Manhat tan Athletic Club, yesterday. Amherst Team's Record. Axbxkst, Dec. L The Amherst eleven has played 13 games this year and scored 314 points against 14L The year before, in 15 games, Amherst scored but SI points to 154. The largest score was 60 to 0, against Will iams, and the largest score made against Amherst was 32 to 10, by Harvard. This was tbe first year in which an experience coaoh had been secured, and GUI's fine work in this capacity proved to be or the greatest service to tbe success of tbe eleven. The men, with two or three exceptions, are light, the average weight being but 164 Sounds, no that Amherst's play has not been eavy and of the battering ram style, but a use of her swift half backs, aided by scien tific and systematic blocking. Van Leaven, right end, has done exceptional work in gaining ground, and is counted one of the swiftest runners on any football eleven to day. General Sporting Notes.

Observations of the Past Year at Cambridge and in Per a MAKE GREAT STRIDES FORWARD. Fome of the DiicoYrle$ of Vast Interest to ill Fcientistu. EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS BEING HADE (SPECIAL TELXORA TO THE DISrATCH.l Boston, Dec Prof. Pickering says in his annual report, just issued, that the Harvard observatory astronomers made a great many interesting astronomical dis coveries last year, both in Cambridge and in Peru. There "were taken 2,777 stellar photographs in Cambridge and nearly 2,000 in Peru. The examination of these plates has, as usual, led to the discovery of a large number ol interesting objects. Ten variable stars, TJ. Delphinis, S. Pegasi, T. Aquarii, R. Crateris, B. Carina, S. Canis Minoris, a Carintc, E. Ophiucbi, Ophiuchl and Espins, Tariable star in Auriga, in ad dition to those previously announced, have the hydrogen lines bright in their spectra. Seven new variable stars have been discov ered this year by means of this property. The nnmbcr of stars of the fifth type has been increased by eight, making the total number now known of the objects 45. The hydrogen line was shown to be bright in the spectra of six stars in addition to those al ready known. Photographs have been ob tained of the spectra of eight planetary nebulie, showing bright lines. The spec trum ot the nebula surrounding some of the stars is unlike that of other gaseous nebulie. Five stars have been shown to hare spectra of the fourth type. Tamable Material Rapidly Accumulating. The amount of valuable material accumu lated with these instruments Is continually increasing, and has proved nsefnl in many cases in studying the put history of new objects. The brightness for several years past of stars suspected of variability has been furnished to various astronomers. Plates have been sent to the Lick and Am herst observatories and to the Smithsonian Institution for special investigations. From one of them a new variable star in Aries was discovered by Prof. Schaeberie. It is hoped that this use of the plates may increase in the future. A large number of photographs were taken of the new star in Auriga. An ex amination of the older photographs thowejd that that the region containing it had been photographed 18 times from November 3, 1885, to November 2, 1891, and that it was then apparently iainter than the 13 magni tude. Five plates showed it between De cember 10, 1891, and January 31, 1892. Af ter its discovery it was photographed on 65 chart plates and 36 spectrum plates until April 6, when it became too fa nt to be visi ble in the encroaching twilight All of these plates hare been carefully studied and measured. Twenty-one charts and IS 'spectrum plates of this object hare been taken since its reappearance in September, 1892. On 'these last plates the spectrum is shown to resemble that of a planetary nebula. Some of the Photographs Taken. Many photographs of the lunar eclipse of November 15, 1891, were taken, both at Cambridge and at the Boyden Observatory in Arequipa, Peru. The examination o'f these photographs for the detection of a possible lunar satellite led only to a nega tive result The observations taken in Pern have been very valuable Many interesting re sults have been derived lrom the observa tions made of the moon and various planets. The markings of Mercury have been studied and this investigation appears to confirm Schlaparelli's view that the rota tion ot Mercury on its axis occupies the same time as its revolution in its orbit An extensive series of observations was also made upon Mars, and the relative potition of 92 points upon its surface were determined by the micrometer. More than 40 minute black points were discovered, provisionally designated as lakes. The Polar compression of the planet was also measured, and appeared to be greater than that indicated by theory, which may be due to an excess of clouds in the equatorial re gions. The presence of the dark and narrow streaks called canals by Schiaparelli has been confirmed, and various measurements of them have been made The clouds pro jecting beyond the limb and terminal have been studied, and their height has been found to be at least 20 miles. Two large dark blue areas have been detected on the planet, and other portions have been noticed to be subject to gradual changes. Many new donble stars were also found south ol 30, between 12 H and 18 H. The Sew Stations Established. The august occultation of Jupiter was ob serve d, both visually auil photographically, also the new star in Auriga and Swift's comet Stations hare been established at Mallendo, 100 feet above the sea level, at Lajoyce, whose elevation is 4, ICO leet; at the observing station 8,060 feet high, at Cha Chani Bavine, 16,650 feet high. The approaching completion of the new Bruce photographic telescope is referred to at length by Prof. Pickering. If successful it will be the most powerlul in the world. The eight surfaces of its objective have been ground and polished so that it could be tested on a star. The results were satis factory. The focal length proved that to be desired, within half ot 1 per cent Plans hare been made and the foundations laid lor a one-story brick building with a sliding roof, in which it will be erected daring its trial in Cambridge. After this it is pro posed to send it to the Arequipa station in Peru. The value of photographs obtained with the transit photometer was illustrated when the new star in Aurora was discovered, in February, 1892. It then appeared that this object bad been photographed on 12 nights since December 10, 1891, while no trace of it was visible on 13 plates covering this region and taken before December 2, 1891. The only knowledge that exists of its changes of light during the six weeks in which it remained undiicovered is furnished by these photographs and those taken with the eight-inch telescopes. BNA?

Pirrlattl went into Alderman Donovan's office and made information against Mrs. Brehnello for fraud. He said she had purchased a lot of fine dress goods from him to the value of $68 which she had not paid for. He said that while Mrs. Bushnello's hus band was away at bis place of business a tall, dark gentleman wai a frequent caller. He discovered that he was a South Ameri can and came on here from New Tork about three weeks ago, and was. transacting some business either with or for the Carnegie Steel Company. A warrant was placed in the hands of Constable Connelly. "When the officer made known his business she laughed heartily and said that she had no intention of run ning away. She walked to the bureau and picked up her hat and put it on, and then lilted the lid of her trunk, saying to the officer she wished to get a sacque. She opened the lid and thrust her hand in the trunk, wheeled suddenly and pointed a revolver at the officer's head and without a moment's -hesitation fired. Tbe officer instinctively dodged. With a bound the officer sprang and caught her by both arms. She wrested neraelf free and grasped a pair of scissors and made a furious'lunge at Con nelly, lie avoided the blow and again caught her. Together they went to Alderman Dono van's office, where Pirriatti was waiting for her. She paid the $68 and costs without protest About 5:80 in the evening Bush nello ran into Alderman Donovan's office and asked for an officer to arrest his wife. He said that he came home about 5 o'clock and found the door locked. He knocked and his wife appeared at the window and or dered him away. He refused to go. She reappeared, clutching a revolver. Again she ordered him to go, and he refused, then she fired two shots but neither took effect Alderman Dono van sent him for a policeman, and together tney went to the house, but Mri Bushnello had disappeared. It is supposed they went to East Liberty and boarded the train there. TFlnUng Up a Tear's Work.
