OLD AND SEW LOCAL CLUBS
Opinions About the Proposed Snlli-van-Corbett
Battle.
LA BLANCHE'S LATEST MOVEMENTS
There will only be opportunity for one
more weekly chat before the real baseball
struggle of the season commences, and it
may be interesting to us to have a little chat
to-day regarding the prospects Jor the com
mencement of that struggle. Probably there
never was so much anxious anticipation re
garding the outcome ol a season in the whole
history of the game as there is in this in
stance. There are two contending parties:
One, the National League, is fighting for the
right of a territory that it has made lor itself,
and the other, the Players League, is con
testing for the right of holding up its banner
in any city that seems profitable. Both
parties are in earnest, and the fact is
that both parties cannot continue to
live under the circumstances and
conditions that now obtain. But
to tell which will he the one that will bo
crowded oat is a prediction that I won't ven
ture to make any more than saying that the
Players' League looks more formidable to-day
than it has done since it was organized. Th at
it will be highly successful during tha first
Dart ot the season is almost certain. There are
many features that lead to this belier; features
that I have mentioned several times, but to
some extent it is problematical whether or not
the success will continue. I don't hesitate to
say that the opening of the season's struggle is
all In favor of the new League, and it may be
n ell for those of that organization not to allow
the excitement of early success to affect good
management and discipline. The latter must
at all times be rigidly enforced, because being
left behind m the early stages of the race will
have little effect on tho staj ing powers of the
National League.
About the Popular Clubs.
In the Players' League there are several
popular clubs that, according to predictions,
are to pulverize all others. Foremost among
these terrors is the Chicago club, which opens
the season here. Now I freely admit that tho
club named is a strong one, but bless us. if we
thoughtfully weigh ur each man of it and do
the same with the Pittsburg Players' club I
fail to see where the Western people have so
very much the best of it. I certainly will not
be surprised if Chicago is tho victim of a bad
beating here on the opening day. Pittsburg is
better off for pitchers than Chicago; as strong
in batting power, but it maybe is a little behinl
In the infield and outfield. I say may be. At
any rate I think time will tell that we are not
far. if any, behind the terrors from Chicago.
I also fancy that Boston's Players' team is
a little overrated. They lack reliable pitchers,
and amid the many big hitters that is a very
important feature. .Madden, Daly and Rad
bourne we all know have not proven them
selves every-day men. and that team has indeed
done well to secure Gumbert. There is a team
which all along has been put far belo r Boston,
and when we examine things closely we'll find
that the team I refer to ought not to bo so
classed at all, I refer to John Ward'? Brook
lyn team. After all be has a good lot of men.
although he might have been much better off
for pitchers. When it comes down to a hot
argument Ward's aggregation will make a
strong ficht with the best team in the new
League. New York is another popular team.
and 1 really fail to see whero it is on
paper one whit better than Hanlon's team.
Of course a practical test may completely upset
all my calculations, but, on paper, I hold that
Pittsburg is every bit as good as New York. To
make a long story short, all players being in
good condition, I fail to see why Hanlon's team
should not loom up as ono of the best in the
country.
Tbc Nniional League
I don't hesitate to say that the old club will
have a better team than many, very many
people expect. The youngsters, as we call
them, can play ball, and can play it very well.
The difficulty, however, with some of us is that
because they are youngsters, we cannot see why
they should be good players at all. This very
unlair estimate prompts many persons to make
a double note of all mistakes
they may make. Now let me ask the question:
Have we not continually seen not only in the
early part of the season, bnt also during its en
tire course, the most wretched plaving on the
part of those whom we call "stars?-' And have
not aggregations of these "stars" been almost
at the rear from start to finish? The reply must
be in the affirmative and this being so ought to
urge us not to make the young men any worse
than what they are. I venture to say that if
some of the so-called popular teams make a
Daa oegmning the most extravagant excuses
will be made for them. I am aware that the
good work of young men. as a rule, is not
at all palatable to the older players,
but this ought not to prevent
any of us from recognizing the good qualities
of the yonnjeer generation. Our mutual friend,
Mutne, will have as good a team as there is in
the country. His team will alwajs be worth
seeing if all goes welL It will be too strong for
Pittsburg, no doubt, but I anticipate Boston.
Chicago. Cincinnati and Brooklyn, at least, will
g've Jlutrie enough to do. Cleveland's team,
of course in this paragraph I am dealing with
the National League, like Pittsburg, is mostly
made up of young players, and we must w ait for
developments. On piper Philadelphia is
stronger than either of the last named clubs,
but it seems to be very little stronger than
Pittsburg. But as I look at the situa
tion the National Leagne depends more
on the middle and latter part of the
season for its success than in the earlier stages
ot the contest against the Players' Leacue.
Two months of hard playing may bring about
some very unexpected changes. Some of the
National League teams, which contain many
3-oung plaj ers, may become very prominent
and popular. Tne b'asehall public is not guided
by sympathy by any means, and if the young
players develop into good men and deal out a
first-class article in the way of ball playing, de
pend upon it, the iublie will recognize them.
Of course this development cannot be accom
plished in a day, bnt the important fact re
mains that as they are coming up the "stars"
are going down.
Tho PlnycrV Leacue Meeting.
The meeting held by the Players' Leagne on
Wednesday last prompts, at least one very
pleasing expectation, viz., that we'll have no
more baseball meetings for a few months to
come. Both parties, that is. the Players'
League and the National League, have stated
that everything is now ready for the conflict
and that their respective policies for the
season have been definitely agreed upon. The
case is now with tho public and in that respect
I suppose It will be a matter of the survival of
the fittest. But there are twoor three features
of Wednesdays meeting that require a little
comment. Contrary to the admonitions and
strong arguments of sensible members of the
organization, the Players' Leacue declined to
change its schedule. In this I contend the
meeting did not act with good judgment. Of
course we all know that the thought of being
termed "weakeners" prevented tho better
judgment of the delegates from oper
ating. But if it can be proven that
changing the schedule was the better
business move I fail entirely to see where
there would have been any breaking down
about it. Nobody can, 1 think, prove
that the most successful plan either in warfare
or anything else is not the best plan. If the
Players' League is not in the held to make a
successful business venture, it is certainly in
the field to kill the National League. If its ob
ject is the latter, then it is a bad object and no
fair minded man would indorse it. If the ob
ject is a business one, thena change of schedule
would have been the best policy. This is ad
mitted by almost everybody connected with tho
Plavers' League. On the other the very wild
and incendiary talk of President Robinson, of
Cleveland probably had much to do with
causing Wednesday's meeting to decide as it
did. Mr. Robinson may live to see the folly of
Ids foolish bluster, for bluster it was. As I
have all along pointed out the Players' League
clubs at many places will have the best
patronage by far for some time at least. This
3 act, for it will be a fact, seems to be lost sight
of by Jlr. Robinson. His words were ill-timed
and were evidently uttered without, any
thought. However, "I argue that it would have
been much better for all of us if there had been
only a very Jew conflicting dates.
Those Reinstated Plnvers.
Tlie meeting transacted another piece ol
business that on the face of it looks very amus-"
ing. 1 refer to the reinstatement or the desert
ers. If ever anything looked somenhat farcical
this reinstatement business did. Let us take
the cases of Beckley, Delehanty and Slulvey.
These men were reinstated by the meeting so
we are told. Why, they were reinstated before
the meeting was held. Beckley had joined the
Pittsburtr club, returned his advance money to
the old League people and was working on the
pay of the new League when the meeting was
held. Delehanty was similarly situated else
where, and tn the face of this we are told they
were reinstated at the meeting. Bosh! If it had
been possible for the meeting to not reinstate
them, what then? I would like to have known
what they wonld have done. The whole thing
was a farce. Pickett's case was also an inter
esting one. Tho Players' League wanted him,
and he wanted to iom that League. A sort ot
tribunal was formed entirelv of those who
wanted Pickett, and as a result it was decided
that they had a right to him. It would indeed
have been wondertul had the meetinc come to
any other conclusion regarding tho disposition
of Pickett. Had he been an inferior player or
a very expensive man, like Dunlap, the meeting
in its wisdom might have discovered that the
National League or American Association had
first claim. I make these references to the
meeting entirely in the spirit of fair play, be
cause had similar features character
ized the transactions of other meetings
none of us wonld have been slow
to note them. However. there was
one characteristic of the meeting that none of
us should overlook. That was the desire of the
delegates to act in harmony. On one or two
questions there was a strong difference of opin
ion, and as soon as it was seen on which side
the preponderance of opinion lay the miuority
coincided. This is, indeed, a hopeful sign for
the Players' League, and a sign that docs to a
great extent falsify the oft-repeated statement
that the new magnates will never be able to
agree. If that give-and-take spirit which char
acterized Wednesday's meeting is sustained in
f utnre there need be no fear of tho Players'
League meetings. If we each want our own
way and mean to have we'll get no way at all.
So far we must admit the officials of tho Pay
ers' League have kept clear of this ruinous
course.
V
John M. Word.
In the report of the Players' League game at
Boston Thursday there was a statement to tho
effect that although the ground was bad
"Ward did some brilliant fielding and good
stick work." Now, in this little sentence thcro
is much to think of because as far as Mr.
Ward is concerned it means a great deal.
What I want to point out is the fact that dur
ing the entire winter Mr. Ward has been pass
ing through the most exhausting ordeal that a
mau could well contend against. Since tho
close of last baseball season he has been
under the severest mental strain. Day and
night he has been ignoring rest and racking
his brain to discover ways and means to
thwart tho efforts of those who were endeavor
ing to stop himself and colleagues in their
work. During all the excitement ot founding
a new organization and all the wornment and
weary heartaches of legal battles truly Mr.
Ward's mental anxiety must have been very
great indeed. He was the target at which all
arrows were levelled; he was the Philistine
that other tribes were trying to capture. He
defeated all. Well, after all the turmoil and
mental and physical work of the winter, is it
not remarkable to find John M. Ward on the
ball field before winter is hardly over, playing
ball as brilliant as ever? I think it is. If there
is ono thing more than another that will be
remembered in connection with the famous
baseball struggle I think it will be tho work
and achievements of John M. Ward. In many
respects he is a remarkable man. He has tra
ducers just as had our great example nearly
2,000 years ago. Bnt I fail to see anything of a
public character in John M. Ward that is not
worthy of admiration. His courage, intelli
gence and zeal are worthy the consideration
and emulation of every baseball player in tho
country.
Snilivan and Corbett.
It may be a surprise to many people to learn
that there is a probability of a glove contest
between James J. Corbett, a big and young
Californian, and John L Sullivan. However
surprising it may be it is a fact. Efforts are
being made to bring them together, and within
a very short time we may hear of the pair
being in front of each other. I hardly know
how to value the proposed encounter in ques
tion. "Whether or not it is intended to b
merely for the money there is in it or parti
for money and partly for glory, I don't know.
If the contest were to take place in about two
or three weeks' time, I would be very much
disposed to think that mone- only was the -
jeer. Certainly, under any circumstinc-s.
money would be thj creat object, but there is
such a thing as money being not only the great
dui ine oniy oujecr. At any rare, mere win De
a purse worth fighting lor, and if a "divide" is
not arranged, victory will be worthy of a grea
struggle. I don't think Sullivan would meet
Corbett under any other conditions than to
"do or die," and were they to meet I don't see
how Corbett ha anything to lose even should
hebebea,.n. Now I don't for one moment
putCorbjt: in the samo class of pugilists as
Sullivan. As I have said before, he may be a
figbte of a first-cla:s kind, and he may not.
He has not been tested yet. He is a boxer of
something of the McCaffrey style, which is
a good recommendation as far as it goes. He is
a big, powerful young fellow, and he insists
on fighting Sullivan with gloves about four
rounds within two weeks. If ever Corbett bad
the best of a bargain be would have it under
the conditions he names. Providing the stage
or ring is the regulation size, I fail to see how,
under the above conditions, a boxer like Cor
bett could have any the worst of it in a four
round encounter. Two weeks from now Sullivan
would scarcely have the taste of the intoxicat
ing beverage out of his mouth; he would
scarcely be able to keen his wind towalkround
for four rounds, let alone right. He would have
mostly to depend on Corbett's venturing near
enough to receive one of those blows that have
floored bigger men than Corbett in glove con
tests. But it would not be a very difficult mat
ter for Corbett to keep clear of cyclones for
four rounds. Dominick McCaffrey kept Sulli
van going nearly seven rounds, and it seems
that Corbett is about In the same class as a
boxer as McCaffrey. If a contest between Sul
livan and Corbett is arranged to take place
within two weeks or thereabouts I think the
latter will b; one of the luckiest of pugi
lists or boxers. In the event of a contest I
would not be surprised to see Corbett still in
the ring at the end of the four rounds, and that
would mean any amount of wealth for him.
Another Foatnre of It.
But if Sullivan agrees to meet Corbett as
early as has been conjectured we may ask why
did be not allow similar terms to Jackson? I
have an answer to this. Sullivan and his
friends must either think that Jackson is much
superior to Corbett or else the proposed contest
between Sullivan and Corbett is merely a
money-making scheme. I am disposed to think
that the former is tho true cause. But more
questions suggest themselves. If Corbett is
willing to meet Sullivan why does he hesitate
to notice the very plain and definite challenge
of Joe McAuliffe? Surely it Cotbett has any
chauce with Sullivan he ought to have some
what of an easy time of it with McAuliffe.
The latter is very anxious, indeed, to meet Cor
bett, and it ever they meet I think the hero of
New Orleans will have a little more in hand
than he can manage. And Kilrain also wants
to face Corbett again. Why won't the latter
accommodate the present prisoner? All these
features prompt one to think that the affairs of
modern pugilism are very, very queer. Corbett
can secure matches with many men who are
Inferior to Sullivan if he wants to have a battle
for money and glory.
La BinncliCt the Dodger
Finally George La Blanche has been matched
but not with Jack Dempsey, and this is not
very hard to understand. La Blanche has been
matched to fight Herget, Young Mitchell, as
he is caned, and this win Keep Dempsey and
La Blanche away from each other for this year
probably. The fact that La Blanche has
agreed to fight Herget after persistently re
fusing to make a match with Dempsey go es to
show that La Blanche has some dread of tho
Nonpareil. In my opinion it means that La
Blanche is ot the opinion that Dempsey is a
better man that himself. In other words La
Blanche is a veritable dodger and has dodged
Dempsey so long that the sporting publio must
now be convinced that the very last man he de
sires to meet is Jack Dempsey. What the re
sult of the La Blanche-Mitchell contest will be
I don't at this juncture intend to try and pre
dict, but in all fairness to La Blanche we rnnst
admit that be is a game and nlucky fellow.
Young Mitchell is quite a pugilist himself, but
he must needs be to hold his own with such a
resolute and strong man as the Marine. Yonng
Mitchell is a clever boxer, but he is inferior
to Dempsey, and this is much in favor of La
Blanche, because 1 have always been of opinion
that La Blanche can almost defeat any man of
his weight who is no cleverer than himself.
Dempsey, of course, wants to fight the winner,
but there is another man, if victorious in his
battle, who will want to meet tho winner. I re
fer to Beddy Gallagher, who is to fight Billy
McCarthy, who was defeated by Dempsey late
ly. If Gallagher defeats McCarthy, it would be
an interesting event were he and Dempsey to
fight. v
w
A Tournmnent Needed.
But it seems to me that a kind of tournament
is needed to determine who is middle-weicbt
champion pucilist of America. There certain
ly never was such a stock of middle-weights in
this country before, and each one aspires to
championship honors. Hero is a list: Jack
Fogarty, Pat Farrell, Iteddy Gallagher, La
Blanche, Young Mitchell, Jack Dempsey and
Billy McCarthy. The latter, of course has
been beaten by Dempsey, bnt he is still full of
aspiration yet. To the above list we may add
a few more from Kngland, snv Bill Goode,
"Toil" Wall. Ted Pritcbard and
Alt Mitchell. Now what a tournament tho
above 11 would make. To make an even num
ber we could dispense with McCarthy and that
would leave ten. Now, if each would pnt up
a stake of S1.O0O and make a sweepstake of
10,000 to which conld be added as much again
or more by the athletic clubs, there would be
something worth fighting tor besides the cham
pionship. There would bo a sufficient number
of contests to last a long time, as each en
counter could be fixed so as to allow sufficient
time for training. Every contest, of course,
would have to be to & finish and that would de
mand, in some instances, a long interval be
tween coutests. By this method I think one
of the most interesting and profitable pugilis
tic tournaments ever known could take place.
As a result we would know exactly who was
the best man and we could also form an opin
ion as to tho comparative merits and demerits
of the various styles of boxing and lighting.
The above list of names represents the best
boxers in the world to-dav, except, probably,
Charley Mitchell, ilt might be well for one of
the athletic clubsTo discuss the above idea.
Certainly the venture would bo profitable.

THE SCOEE WAS ONLY 34 TO 2.
Fred Dnnlap to Report in This City on

BASEBALL NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST
The 500 or 600 people who went to see the
local National League colts and the Mc
Keesport Tri-State League aggregation play
yesterday afternoon at Recreation Park, saw
plenty of iun if they saw nothing else.
When the fact is stated that the result of the
event was Pittburg 34 and McKeesport 2,
baseball patrons can well imagine that there
was any amount of running round the dia
mond and the field. It is not often that
a team of the "great stars" can victimize
an opposing aggregation to the extent of
34 to 2. The score is somewhat one sided,
no doubt, but so was the playing. Nobody
conld well desire to see Frank Torreyson's
team more jumped upon and nobody could
wish to see the local colts score a more de
cisive victory than was the case yesterday.
EXCUSES FOB. THE PLAYERS.
As the score indicates the playing was far
from first-class on the side of the visitors. They
played a very wretched game all through, both
in the field and at the bat. It is only fair to
state, however, that yesterday was the first
time they have played together. On the other
hand the local talent played very well, indeed.
As a team they performed much better than
they did on Thursday, and their batting was at
times terrific. It seems now safe to say that a
really good team will soon be developed out of
the material at command.
The crowd present was an enthusiastic ono
and they saw lots of hard thumping and lively
base running. Without doubt some of the new
players will become very warm favorites to not
only Pittsburg patrons of the game, but to
patrons In every National League city.
"Ducky" Hemp will be a favorite wherever ho
goes. He again gave spectators to understand
yesterdav that he is a ball player at every
stage. His fielding and hitting yesterday were
well worth seeing, and his base running was so
artful that those who saw it will not forget it.
AETFTJL LITTLE HEMP.
Hemp is a cunning little fellow on oases.
And Paul Hines appeared. There's nothing
wrong with Paul. He will be a useful mau to
the team. La Koque also did well, and so did
Youneman and Roat. Borger and Miller caught
and nlayed left field between them In an ad-
mirauie manner.
Daniels, tho Louisville pitcher, made his ap
pearance, and he promises not only to be an ex
cellent pitcher, but a favorite of all enthusiasts
of tho game. He has remarkable speed and is
of that cool and don't-care-a-cent kind of tem
perament. Baker relieved him in the box. but
he was somewhat wild. He pitches a puzzling
ball, however, and under Manager Hecker he
will soon be a great pitcher. Milbee was a
mark for the local hits and Plummer was not
much better in his twirling. ,
It would be an awful task to tell how the
runs were made. Suffice it to say that in the
first inning after Sunday and Hemp had eath
secured his base on balls, Mr. Milbee was
touched tip for six straight hits, including two
doubles. In the third inning he was touched up
for five more. And so the slaughte ' went on to
the end. La Koque was knocking the ball all
over the lot, and one time came near knocKing
it out of th 3 lot. All this hard banging, com
bined with first-rate base running and bad
fielding, enabled the home players to net 34
runs. The visitors w ere awfully outplayed, and
that tells the whole story. Following is the full

BASEBALL AT SC0TTDALE.
A Club Organized nnd Plnycn to be Secured
for Two Nines.
rBFECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
SCOTTDALE, April 5. A meeting of baseball
playerB was held in Burgess Porter's office last
night to make some definite arrangements for
the placing of a team in the field this season.
Six players, namely Fecke, Stauffer, Geyer,
Gordon, Wible and Woodling, were signed.
Fecke is a promising player. He will do well
if he maintains the record he made in some of
the Ohio leagues. Knough players will be
signed for two nines. Greensburg has placed a
team m the new league, and Burgess Porter is
there to-day to make some arrangements.
The Marietta Brotners, of Connellsville, are
making an effort to organize a club for the new
league, and will likely succeed. Marsh, the Mt,
Pleasant pitcher, will be given a trial. He pos
sesses great speed, bnt is a little erratic In de
livery, which fanlt will be remedied after some
training. A battery, of Waynesburg, will be
signed, and everything looks favorable for a
good club. A stock company will be organized.
DUNLAP IS COMING.
The Second Baseman Says He Will Eeport
Hero on Tneadny.
Fred Dnnlap has definitely agreed to report
to Manager Hecker on Tuesday morning. Yes
terday afternoon President Nimick wired Dun
lap asking him to definitely state his terms.
He replied by wire and Mr. Nimick agreed to
them. The local President then by wire asked
the player to report as soon as possible, and the
latter replied that ho will be here on Tuesday
morning.
It is needless to say that the officials of the
club are exceedingly pleased at the coming of
Dnnlap. That he is a splendid player nobody
will deny, and it is to be taken for granted that
If he ever tried to do his best he will do it this
season. He and Paul Hines will almost fill the
bill at first and second as good as any other two.
Manager Hecker thinks that he will get a first-
class snort stop and tnira Daseman out 01 too
lot of youngsters who have been playing in the
team.

NICK TODNG'S OPINION.
Tho Leasne President gums Up the Situa
tion Very C'omplucrntlT.
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TUB DISPATCrf.J
"Washington, April 5. President Young,
of the League, grows more animated on the
subject of the national game as the opening of
the season approaches. When your corre
SDondent called at headquarters to-day Mr.
Young was going over his morning's mail,
which contained communications from Al
Spalding, of Chicago: Mr. Nimick, of Pitts
burg, and Mr. Conant, of Boston. The Brother
hood having assumed the aggressive it becomes
necessary for the League to prepare for a
further continuance of hostilities. There is
one thing.certain the League will not be in
duced to squander any more of its reserve
fund in the courts. Had Mr. Young's judgment
prevailed there would have been no contests
over Ward, Ewmg and others and the League
would have 810,0u0 or S15.OC0 more to its credit
in bank. It cost nearly 815,000 in the New York
courts. On this subject Mr. i'oung is non
committal. So far as the comparative strength
of the League and Brotherhood teams are con
cerned Mr. Young is of the opinion that tho
former is superior in New York, Boston, Chi
cago and Brooklyn. No reasonable person will
dispute the fact that Cincinnati is a better ball
city than Buffalo, and it will undoubtedly prove
a more taking attraction on the circuit. In
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Cleveland tha
League, in the opinion of Mr. Young, is as well
prepared for the coming campaign as its rivals.
If honest ball is played Buffalo, Cleveland,
Brooklyn and Pittsburg are not in it The
Brotherhood club in Philadelphia may figure
in the first division as there is some excellent
material in that combination. This is about
tho way Mr. Young sizes up the situation now.

A Good Exhibition Game Between Flayers'
Leagno Tenmi at St. Lonls.
ISPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
St. Louis, April 5. The Chicago and Clove
land teams of the Players' League were given
an ovation at the opening game in the new
Brotherhood Park to-day. The teams left the
Lindell in a tallyho, which led a procession of
carriages. Banners with the words, "We Are
the People" floated from all the carriages.
Five thousand people assembled in the park
and saw a pretty game won by the Cleveland
men. Latham bad a new wrinkle that caught
the crowd. He had on a new sweater with the
the words "Chicago Brotherhood" in front and
"We are tho People" on the back. Both teams
marched around the diamond behind the band,
and then hostilities opened. Gruber was hit
hard in the first two inning?, but held the Chi
cagos down after that. On the other hand
Bartson opened with success, but was slngged
toward the finish. Browning, Ryan, Comiskey,
Twitchell, Latham and Strycker did fine work
with the stick. Score by innings:

P Zacharias b anxious to do well as an um
pire. With Dunlap the old local club will have a
very good infield.
President J. B. Day says that under no
circumstances shall his team play with a Broth
erhood team.
A rumor is current to the effect that the
local Plajers' club is after ono or two of
Hecker's colts.
The bull terrier Yale, owned by J. C. Mahler,
of this city, took second prize at Boston Bench
Show this week.
Umpire Zacharias will officiate at the
opening games of the local National League
championshiD season.
Four hits were made off Daniels yesterday
and two off Baker. The former gave tw bases
on balls and the latter four.
Old Sport Galvin is fast getting Into ex
cellent condition. On Wednesday and Thurs
day he reduced himself about 12 pounds.
Work on the local Players' League grounds
is going on rapidly, and if the weather keeps
fine the boys will soon be on their new dia
mond. Messrs. Shaner, Richardson. Crow and
Davison will hold another big shoot on May 6
and 7. Many of the national crack shots will
be here.
Season tickets for the National League ball
games in this city will be on sale this week at
McClnrg's cigar store, corner of Wood street
and Fifth avenue.
Btssell and Gillen. accompanied by their
backers, met at this office last evening to make
a match to fight. They cannot agree about
the weight to fight at, however.
Catcher Young, of the New York National
League team, will not bo retained, owing to the
already large number of catchers under con
tract to the clnb. Here is a good man for some
League or Association club.
Manager Hecker says: "My team cannot
play against any not under the National agree
ment, but we will play any team under that
agreement tor a cnaritaoie object ana Manager
Hanlon ought to get a Players' League team
and do the same."
Dooley had an arm broken in 'Frisco not
long ago by a wildly pitched ball Perhaps
this may account for his weakness at the bat.
The pitchers he has been facing of late have
been very wild, and consequently terrorizing.
In the California League Dooloy ranked among
the best hitters.
It is quite likely that President Byrne, of tho
Brooklyns, will buy the release of yonng
Fricken, the pitcher of the Commercial team.
Fricken at Drcsent is held by an ironclad con
tract, and his release must be purchased before
he can play ball with any other club. Byrne
will get a good man if he secures Fricken.
Captain Ewing had this to say about the
matter: "Without waiting to consult our
President or Directors, as manager of the club
I accept Mutrie's challenge, and will play his
nine with seven of my team for any sum he
chooses to name and on anv grounds he may
be pleased to select. Why, Jim must bo crazy
to think that his team wonld stand any show
with my men. If my men were to drop dead in
their tracks his men would stand a shew of
winning.
A DISPATCH from Seattle. Wash., yesterday
says: Matsada Sorakichi, the Japanese wrest
ler, was robbed last night of 840, some clotning
and a valuable gold watch. The latter, which
was a gift from his father, was made of gold,
iron and oxidized silver in Japan, and Desides
being a good timekeeper gives the nhases
of tne moon and days of the month. It cost
over 8400. The burglar entered the Jap's room
in some mystenous way, and after taking all he
wanted he locked the door from the outside.
and Matsada had to crv for help in the morn
ing Matsada lias signed articles to wrestle
Lucien Marc Cristol, and tho match takes place
here on the 19th instant. No draws will be al

BEADY FOB THE RACE
The Big 142-Hour Struggle to Start
To-Night.
MB. MOORE GIVES A POINTEE.
Sullivan Wants to Knock Corbett Oat in
Four Bounds.
THE SP0ETIKG NEWS OF THE DAT
Fifteen minutes after 12 o'clock to-night
the big 142-hour pedestrian contest will
start in the Grand Central Rink. Probably
the prospects for a desparate contest of the
kind were never more definite nor stronger
than in this instance, and it seems safe to
predict that it not only will be the greatest
pedestrian event ever held in this city, but
it will also be the biggest event of the kind
held in the country this year. "With the
exception of probably two men the greatest
six-day contestants in the world are here,
and they are here in the best of condition.
The winner will realize a handsome sum, and
this fact has prompted each man to be very
careful In his training. Those who saw the last
race In the rink will have an idea of the inten
sity of a six-day struggle. The race, which be
gins to-night, promises to be of a higher class
in that respect than even the last.
VTHAT MOORE SAYS.
Regarding the probabilities of the race, the
writer had a conversation with E. C. Moore,
' one of the contestants, y esterday, Mr. Moore,
who has been in training for seven weeks, said:
"Why, certainly I should liko to win, but no
body on earth can tell who the winner will
be. I really believe that it will he one of tho
toughest races 1 have seen. So many men are
in it to win, if they can, and so many are in
good condition that I haven't the least idea
who will finish first. Oh, yes! Hertyisagood
man, and his chances of victory are good, and
so are the chances of other men. I think I have
a good chance also. Among what we may call
outsiders I would advise peonle to watch little
Connors, who has been training here. He is in
finefoim. I think that abont 550 or 560 miles
will be covered, and I would sooner cover 600
miles on Madison Square track than 650 on the
track of the Central Rink. Still, the latter is
not a bad track."
The contestants have all secured their cots
or tents. Herty evidently means business in
the most earnest way, becanse ho not only has
a stove and all necessary cooking utensils in
his tent but a bath. Each man has two at
tendants. Guerrero is being backed by a bak
ing powder company and many think he will be
a winner.
HAS PITTSBUEG BACKERS.
A Pittsburg party is backing Connors ana al
most all have some backers behind them. Of
course Noremae has a good following. His
former victories here prompt many people to
believe that next Saturday will find
him in front or very near it. Howarth is also
looked unon as a "dangerous" man. and the
same may be said of George Cartwright, who 13
really a good runner. Hegelman is the favor
ite of many, but some people think that he will
be outclassed in a night and day contest.
Of course Peter Golden is always a favorite.
Altogether it is just as Moore says, nobody can
tell what the result will be. There are so
many in the race and such a number of out
siders that something very unexpected may
turn up. Arrangements have been made to
prevent the great jam that took place at the
start of the lastl4J-bour-race. Tickets can be
had at therink during the day.
The contestants held a meeting yesterday
afternoon and decided on the division of their
part of the receipts. Of course tbey receive 50
percent of the admissions and 25 per cent
of the reserved seat fees. Of this 50
per cent the winner will got one-half and the
balance will be divided down in like ratio. The
contestants have also engaged a man to look
after their interests at the door. Scorers havo
been engaged and will be sworn in to-day. The
track has been surveyed and is 16 laps to the
mile. The measurements have been certified
to. Everything points to a very exciting week.
All contestants who cover 100 miles in 24
hours will get $10 each and a similar amount if
they cover 250 miles in three days. Following
is the complete list of men who have arrived
and two more will arrive this morning:
Dan J. Herty, Gns Gnererrq, George D.

WANTS NO KNOCK HIM OUT.
John L. Talks Very Plainly About James
Corbett, of Frisco.
Boston, April 5. John L. Sullivan was seen
last nieht with regard to the published report
that J. M. Corbett, the San Francisco heavy
weight, was anxious to try his skill against the
champion.
"I'm mora than ready to meet Corbett," said
Sullivan, "but. only on one condition. If we
are to box four rounds, I'll contract to pnt him
to sleep in that time. If I succeed I am to get
51,000; if I don't he gets the money. No half
ana half business about it. These contests for
gate receipts savor too much of faking. You
can say that John L. Sullivan will fight Corbett
four rounds for SI. 000 and if he doesn't whip
him in that time won't accept a cent,"
Secretary M. J. Slattery, of the Gladstone
Club, of Providence, who was present at tho
iuterview, said the club would give a purse of
1,000 for the contest if it could be arranged for
April 23.
Billy Mahoney and John L. are desirous of
getting on a match between Jack AIcAuliffe
and Patsy Kerrigan, and will back the latter
forS2.500.

-ffisop has told us the tale of a mule which, from overfeeding, gallopetl
aoout and felt gay, saying to himself : " My father, surely, was a high-mettled
racer, and I am his own child in speed and spirit." Next day he wa3 sick and
weary; he then exclaimed : "I must have made a mistake ; my father, after all,
could have been only an ass." A man, after eating a good dinner, may feel
extravagantly joyous ; but next day (I don't mean you to infer he feels like an
