With a slight exception in pngiliiai, the
(porting afiairs of the -week have been un
usually dull, and when this is the case there
is often considerable difficulty to find some
thinc interesting enough to talfc about.
From now on I suppose the national game
will take precedence of eTerything else,
although during the week those of us who
think most about it hare read little con
cerning it because of the Tital and graTc
questions of a general nature that have ab
sorbed everybody's attention and almost all
the newspaper space. But the season o'
1631 has begun; I don't mean the champion
ship season of course, but the playing sea
son, for there bavobeen lots of games during
the week. Some of the games played have
reminded us of the controversy of last year.
In tins I reier to the Boston games on Fast
Day From the reports of these contests we
learn th.it the attendance at the two
games plaved was very large. Some re
ports have the attendance at the two games,
that is, the Association and League games,
as low as between 13,000 and 14,000. Other
reports hae the figures higher. Some re
ports also have the attendance at the Asso
ciation game much higher than the attend
ance at the League game. 2ov, I don't
heMtate to say that there is considerable
Etretching of imagination in these reports. I
am prompted to this opinion because of the
lalsitr ot figures from Boston last year. But
while I make this statement I am quite free
to admit that the public enthusiasm
throughout the country in the national game
is gradually getting back to its old stand
ard. Already there is consider
ably more interest in the game
than there was long before the season closed
last year. I don't think tht anybody will
oenj this, because the fact is so apparent.
Exhibition games before the champlonshiD
season opens are, as a rule, very tame affairs,
and there is, generally speaking, little or no
enthusiasm connected with them. But daring
the last few days we have seen that very much
interest indeed has been manifested in tbo ex
hibitions soing on, particularly in the contests
In which League clubs have been Interested.
It ma be true that nothing very definite can
be deduced from these games in the way of
proving the playing strength of the teams, bat
they can give us an idea of the public interest
in the game. None of us will conclude that
Boston is considerably superior to Brooklyn
elmply because m one game Boston, to use
the common phrase, "wiped up the diamond"
with Brooklyn; and none of us will conclude
that the games in Florida give us any correct
idea as to the respective merits of the Pitts
burg and Cleveland Clubs. But still, I repeat,
there has been considerable interest thown in
thee games, in mentioning orrefernng to the
general situation, I may also remark that there
is still some "war talk abroad. I don't know
the reason of this, because in my it ay of think
ing it is very difficult to find any mora indica
tion of a warm baseball than it is to find a war
between Italy And the United States. Indeed,
It would be difficult to 2nd how the Association
could make what maybe correctly termed war
on the National League. Theie may be a little
kicking still gmng en among the malcontents,
but "a war" exists only in the imagination of

those who desire to give undue Importance to
A Very Quiet Week.
If baseball alfalrs in goneral have been quiet,
affairs of the local club hare not been lively.
The public has heard very httle indeed regard
ing the local players who went South a few
days ago. 1 don't know, at least lam net pre
pared to say, whose fault it is, that so little has
been told to the public concerning the club
during the week, but I do know quietude at
this stage is very bad policy for the club's in
terest. Before wo barely have time to turn our
selves round the opening day will bo here, and
in the meantime no chance whatever is given
the public to familiarize itself with the team.
I have known periods in t ho club's history when
news and gossip concerning it would certainly
have been daily before the public The offi
cials of the club would hae taken precious
good care of this. But in the present instanco
wo have our rhaniDions taken away and tem
porarily buried dow n at Jacksonville and few it
any of us know correctl) How things are going.
Well, as I have just said, this is verv bail busi
ness for the club. Thn monotonv of the week
has been broken a Utile by the appearance on
the scene of Maul, Laroque and "Phenomenal"
bniilh. I use the word "phenomenal" in no
disrespect to Mr. Smith; I use it merely as a
term to distinguish him from the very many
other Smiths. Now that these three men
have been sent to Florida it would
seem that thoy are to stay with the
club. But on this point I am very, very skep
tical, indeed. If we are to have Baldwin.Strat
ton, Staley and Galvin as pitchers. I tail to
see why Smith will remain; and if Air. Smith's
lot is to be cast with the Pittsburg club it is
reasonable to expect that one of the other.ouri
will be dispensed with. Ot course, I am still
of opinion that the law will not force Bald
win from us, but I cannot help thinking that if
there is a desire among club officials to retain
Smith there must nc a concurrent desire to re
lease some other pitcher, and I cannot avoid
the conviction that th it some other pitcher is
Gahin. Of course, these are only supposi
tions, but they are built on what socms to me
a fact: the fact that the club will not keep five
pitchers. The appearance of Laroque also
prompts speculation, because it is not likely
that both he and Maul will be retained. Pres
ident U'Neil has a very high opinion of La
roque's abilities as a player, and doubtless
there is much reason for this opinion. Laroque.
I believe, is a very good man, and the tact that
he has gone to Florida means that there is
nothing definitely settled jet as to whether or
not he will ue kept on the team. When the
team returns home, the matter will be dealt
with definitely, and then, I expect, efforts will
be made to tecure purchase money for there
leased players. This will only be tair.
A Few Words About Gaivin's Case.
There is every reason to believe that the
baseball public of Pittsburg was highly satisfied
when Jimmy Galvin was signed to play with
the new club. And if he had not been signed
there would have been considerable dissatis
faction. Now, there are many things suggested
by these features to which I have just referred
and the most prominent is the question: How
far has the public a right to interfere with the
management of a ball club? I deal with this
question beoause it is a fact that Galvin was
signed to play with the club simply because the
public desired it. Well, now I am going to
contend that the public .-buuld, indeed, be very
careful in what I may call "sticking" up for an
old player, be he a favorite or anything else,
and while I am contending this I want it under
stood that I am in no way opposed to the re
tention of Galvin. To deal with the matter
clearly let us cite a supposed case. A player
has been a member of a club for a long time
and there comes a stage when the officials of
the club tnink the player's usefulness has al
most exhausted itself. It is determined to re
lease the plajer. The public then steps in and
in a very emphatic manner demonstrates in
favor ot the retention ot the plaer. The
public clamor is bowed to by the club officials,
and I contend that from that point on the
officials of the club aro not responsible lor the
entire work of the club. The public is responsi
ble, but when reverses come the public will have
none of the responsibilities; they must then be
shouldered by the officials of the club. 1 argue
that this is not fair. Those who aro to be ro
suonsiblo for the work of the club should by
all means hao the absolute selection of the
plajcrs; beside as a general thing, those who
have the management o! a club know a great
deal more about ball playera than the public
does. But it is difficult to convince a large por
tion of the public on this point. We all know
that not a day goes paat without the public
putting together on piper a very much better
team than the one actually in harness. I mean
the public thinks its team better, and these
"bettei'' teams are changed every day, just ac
cording to the fancy of the public. Amid all
this, then, it would be n ise for sf.e management
of a club to just stick to Its work, and go ahead
with its programme, regardless of the public
whims, which, as a rule, are only sentiment.
But I am very glad that Galvin has been signed.

If Jlmmvis still the hero he used to be, well
and good; if his day has gone, then none of us
can complain if he is released when that tact is
demonstrated. I also wish to point ont that
Galvin is a fine example for other players to
follow. It has only been his long career of hon
esty and willingness to work for the interests
of his club that has secured for him such a hold
on public sentiment.
Tho Duty of Minor Leaguos.
Since the American Association broke away
from the national agreement I bavo noticed
that several writers and others have been claim,
ing and are still claiming that minor leagues
and amateur leagues should "not take sides"
and should pay "no attention to the fight," and
"play with either the Association clubs or with
the clubs of the League." The parties who ar
gue in this strain forget one very important
I feature: indeed, the vital factor of the matter.
The question is not that of taking sides with
either the League or Association. It is the
question of taking sides with either the na
tional agreement or its would-be destroyers.
This is a very important question in baseball.
If an amateur ball ciub should have just as
much respect for the violators of the national
aciertnent as for the faithful adherents of that
agreement then I should contend that the latter
should look upon that amateur club as a very
dangerous enemy. The case is a very simple
one. The American Association breaks from
the national agreement and tramples it under
foot. Other baseball organizations uphold and
defend the agreement as the salvation of the
game. Now let an amateur club go and
identify Itself with the rebels and what con
clusion can we come tof Why. no other than
this: That the amateur club in question is aid
Inc in the perpetuation of opposition to the
national agreement, and a conflict of this kind
is not merely against the National League, but
against everv club in the country that upholds
the national agreement. Amateur clubs
shonld, therefore, think well over the matter
before lenaing their aid toward demolishing
the national agreement.
The Counly League.
While talking about amateur clubs, I am re
minded of the County League. In some parts
of the county there is undoubtedly a very
strong deslie to have the League soundly
formed; but I am inclined to think that there
is not all the enthusiasm regarding the pro
posed Leagne that there ought t be. I am
well aware that it is difficult to organize and
carry out successfully a semi-amateur league,
and this fact shows that enthusiasm is all the
more necessary. I am not inclined to say
wbetbtr or not financial success awaits a
County League here, but 1 am prepared to say
that a County League will be a great benefit to
baseball generally. There are plenty of good
players to form the League, and it would be
considerably better Tor these young men to be
regularly engaged in the game than only to be
engaged at long intervals, lhat a County
League is needed there is no doubt, and I feel
just as certain that if the promoters would get
to work and arouse a general enthusiasm re
garding it, it will be a success in every
sense of the word.
Dixon and McCarthy.
Well, the long-expected battle between
George Dixon and Cal McCarthy is now a thing
of the past. It is now a matter of history that
McCarthy was easily defeated and never had
any show of victory. Had the men fought, as
arranged, at Hoboken some time ago, I think
that McCarthy would havo made a hotter stand;
but while I think this, 1 do not for a moment
think that he would have won. I wish to be
verr frank on this point, because when they
met at Hoboken I thonght McCarthy would be
the winner. But they met and did not fight.
This statement, I trust, will show that there is
no desire ou my part to conceal the fact that
bad they fought two or thrse weeks ago I ex
pected "McCarthy to win. Since that time I
have had nothing to say on the matter. But I
repeat that Dixon would have defeated Mc
Carthy had they fought at Hoboken, so that
my opinion on the fight, even, was not a correct
one. There needs little to be said regarding
the battle of Tuesday night. McCarthy was
outfought from the start, aud at no stage of the
contest did McCarthy have the best of it. In
reading carefully tbo various accounts ot the
battle, it seems to me that McCarthy was not
so much outfought by superior generalship on
thepartot Dixon as he was over-matched by
strength and vigor on the part of the colored
uiaa.Lixon soondiscovered that ho had sufficient
Sower to rush McCarthy all round the ring; he
id this and allowed him no rest, and very soon
McCarthy's science was of no avail. In almost
everv round McCarthy was sent to the floor,
but lam not disposed to believo that he was
knocked down in every instance. McCarthy Is
quite tricky, and doubtless ho often found it
convenient to slip down with very little provo
cation. Of course this can be done despite
Queensberry rule3. Well, to make a lon
story short, Dixon simply thumped and chased
McCarthy about until the latter had no more
wind left in him. And now comes the question

Is Dixon an extraordinary man at his weight?
1 have failed to find any proof of this in his
record, oven taking in his last success,
Dixon's Career.
Mark, I am not contending that Dixon is not
a good man for his ounces, but I have yet to
learn that he is extraordinary. His career does
not show that be is a wonder, because be has
had some remarkably tame encounters. His
first contest with McCarthy was one be
ought to have won, because McCarthy
fought a very long time with only one
hand and then managed to secure a draw.
No matter bow we look at this battle we
don't find any glory In it lor Dixon. His con
test with Wallace In England was a burlesque,
and there was nothing above the extraordinary
in his late fight with Murphy. I will no doubt
be asked why did he defeat McCarthy so easily.
In answering thin, there are two facts to bear
in wind. One is that since Dixon fought Mc
Carthy the first time he has been Improving,
and the other is that McCarthy has been de
teriorating. There is no doubt in my mind on
this point. McCarthy is vastly inferior to-day
compared with what he was when he first met
Dixon, and had he not met with an accident on
that occasion, he would have won. Well, I
have never held McCarthy up as a wonder, and
I fail to see any more reason for termingDixon
one than in the case of McCarthy. The former
is a useful and plucky little glove fighter.
What he would be in a 24-foot ring with nature's
weapons only I don't know.
The Middle-Weight Championship.
It Is not unlikely that during the next few
days we will have lots to talk about regarding
the middle-weight championship. Sometime
ago I pointed out in this column that as soon as
Fitzsiinmons arrived in this city he would be
definitely challenged to fight for the middle
weight championship of the world, either un
der prize ring rules or under Queensberry
rules. The man who will challenge him is Ed
Smith, of Denver, now in this city, and the
challenge. I am told, will be so liberal that it
will be difficult for the Australian to aecline it.
Smith's challenge Is to be to the following ef
fect: He will fight Fitzsimmons to a finish with
gloves or bare lists, under any rules, for 11,000 a
side and any purse that maybe offered by any
club. A challenge of this kind has the ring of
business and fair play about it; in it can bejseen
the desire to fight for glory as much as can be
seen the desire to light for money. Time and
time again I have argued that as soon as a latter-day
pugilist gains a victory and lays hold of
something called a championship title, that
man carefully avoids all known good fighters.
This has been the custom for years, and
whether it Is the custom in other countries or
not I don't know, but it is a fact that as soon as
pugilists come here from other countries they
fall in line here. I say it as a fact, not through
any disrespect, that while our champions, real
or alleged, have all kinds of excuses to offer
against meeting first-class men, or men thought
to be good, they without hesitation undertake
to meet any recognized and bona fide "duffer."
I am not at all insinuating Jliat Fitzsimmons
will decline to make a match with Smith, but
I am pointing out what has heretofore been the
custom.
Ed Smith's Claims.
Bo far it has been the objections of Fitzsim
mons and others that the man who challenged
them bad no record and was withoufreputa
tion. Of course later pugilism has come to a
stage where there is more or less force in this
reputation idea. Pugilism, or our alleged
pugilism, is now almost entirely a business,
chiefly ashow business, and we all know what
that means In the way of getting attractions.
Bnt EJ Smith has bad a much busier career as
a pugilist and a much more pugilistic one than
Fitzsimmons. Smith has fought his way up
under raanv difficulties, and despite the fact of
his recont defeat by Godfrey, I am inclined to
think that be will win his next battle, i.o mat
ter whom he fights. Smith's record is one
about which Fitzsimmons, I think, will not
grumble very much. And Smith will pledge
himself to fight at 154 pounds or at 153 pounds,
just as Fitzsimmons requires. Smith is only a
niiddle-weignt, and has never, as far as I know,
in this country been within 25 pounds of
his weight when in a contest. Why, he
was heavier when he fought Godfrey
than he is now. Well, I trust that
if Smith's challenge is issued in proper form
that Fitzsimmons or Hall will respond to it
like men who wish to do business. I am not
one who believes that Fitzsimmons will abso
lutely decline to meet any middle-weight, but
It may be that he will try to defer the meet
ing of a good man as long as possible. He may
urge his expectation of meeting Pritchard as a
pica for delay lit the Smith matter, but
Pritchard will not meet Jem Smith until next
August, and surely Fitzsimmons will not be
disposed to wait that long. But if Fitzsim
mons will fight Ed Smith and the latter wins
ho will fight Pritchard for all the money de
sired. Iu a word, then, Fitzsimmons cannot
reasonably decline to make a match with Ed
Smith for the middle-weight championship
without forfeiting his claim to tho title. If

To-Morroiv Night's Event
To-morrow night's contest between Pat
Farrell and Jim Daly at Philadelphia, is one
in which much Pittsburg interest is centered.
Pittsburg has never been famous for great
boxers and many people are wondering whether
or not Farrell will land our city to the front in
that respect. lam not in a position to express
a definite opinion on the matter at present be
cause I don't know what Farrell Is. He may
be a wonder and he may be an ordinary per
former. AH I can say is to repeat what I said
last week. If he is a good fighter ho will de
feat Daly. He will be well looked after in the
contest as Ed Smith and Jack Fogartyare to
second him.
During the week I have been looking care
fully round to see if any indication of activity
among the scullers could be observed. I bave
noticed little to encourage, and it seems to roe
that outside of a few gentlemen who have more
or less professionally been in tho business for
years, nobody cares about it. This is a great
pity because there is no branch of sport more
entertaining and generally sneaking better
than rowing. A few weeks ago I thought that
one. or two good races would be arranged, but
the prospects now are less flattering than then.
McLean bas stated that under no circumstances
will he coma to the United States to row. If
ho should again defeat Stansburr and still In
sist in carrying ont this intention it will be a
pity in many ways. It is really about time we
had a race in this country between Americans
and Anstralians. So far all the sacrifices have
been made by the rowers of this country as
far as making matches with Australians have
been concerned. Wo know what our scullers
bave done in Australia against the Australians,
but we don't know what the Australians will
do in America against the Americans. McLean
or Stansbury may be quite different men when
in the United btates. At any rate it is only
fair that they should give Americans a chance
on their, the American's, own waters. If they
come to this country they can rely on two
things, viz., fair play and a race. I tori confi
dent that they would have no reason to com
plain of their treatment if they would only pay
us a visit.
The Football Players.
The local football season is fast drawing to a
close, and a few remarks regarding it may notbe
out of place. While none of us can truly say
the season has been a successful one, we can
certainly argue that it has not been a failure by
any means. There have been many difficulties
to cope with and they have been overcome.
But football in Pittsburg has been somewhat
different from the football In other cities. We
have had a very long season, and we also have
had two parties, that is, an Association and a
Rugby party. And the season just ending is
the first real football season we have had in this
city. So that, altogether, football has been
much more a success than many people antici
pated. The Rugby players opened the season
here, and the manner in which they did bad
much to do with making the game as popular
here as it was. A more energetic lot of fellows
I havo never seen than those who composed
the Rugby football team here. What they
did in their first season is sufficient to prompt
us with a hope of a great season next fall.
The Association players bavo done very well,
indeed, considering the fact that they organ
ized aleague late iu the season and have had to
contend against very bad weather. The
League has demonstrated the fact that associ
ation football can be a "go" in this section, and
that there are a large number of good players
in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio,
homo of the clubs have fallen by the wayside,
but there is nothing extremely discouraging in
this, bearing in mind that this is the first sea
son. There are several other clubs quite ready
to fill up the breaches, so that there need he no
thought of a general collapse. Those who have
the League's interest at heart should see that
as speedily as possible plans are laid for the re
organization of the Leaguo at an early date
next season. If this is done the clubs can be on
the field early, and this will be a great thing.
The experience of this season will certainly af
ford a good Icssou for future guidance.
Hall and Fitzsimmons.
Just a few words relative to a contest between
Hall and Fitzsimmons. Judging from the an
nouncement which appeared in yesterday's
Dispatch regarding these two men, it seems
as it thoy will come together. The backer of
Fitzsimmons evidently means business when be
requests the selection of a responsible stake
holder, and It may, therefore, be safe to antici
pate that something definite will be done. Of
course, if a match is made between Hall and
Fitzsiinmons, there will be no prospect of a
contest between the latter and Ed Smith for
some time lo come. But Smith can challenge
the winnor. Pbisole.
