FrECIAL TELEGHAM TO TUX DISPATCH.
Chicago, May 2. Bain JlreTented to
day's game between tbe local team and the
band of pirates from Pittsburg. .Nothing
can convince J. Palmer O'Neil this evening
that the rain to-day did not knock his team
out of another victory. President O'Neil
neer talks about defeat, and this evening
when he saw on the bulletin boards that
both Cleveland and Boston had been de
feated he exclaimed:
"Why, now just look at that If this
darned rain hadn't set in we would have
been tied for first place this evening, be
cause we would have won to-day's' game.
But we'll catch them in a day or two."
The Pittsburg team has made a good im
pression here, and the general opinion is
that they are the best lot thai has ever
come out ol Pittsburg. If the game had
gone on to-day there would have been a very
large crowd present. Old Galvin gladdened
the hearts of his numerous friends here yes
terday, and he has many admirers. The
veteran is in good form. King and Staley will
pitch tbe next two games, and this evening
they both declared themselves to be in excellent
sdape.
Your correspondent had a conversation with
President O'Keil aud Manager Hanlon regard
ing the team. Both gentlemen stated emphat
ically that no changes will be made in tbe team
for a week or two. evon if then. Manager
Hanlon said: "1 have charge of the team and
t want the public to give the players a show.
They are almost new to each other, and some
ot them are in new positions. This being so, ii
cannot be expected that they will get down to
machine. like action in two or three days. I
am confident that tbey will come ont all right.
Why. we are playing as good as anybody else
just now.
"Oh, yes, I am aware that there many com
plaints about Miller's work atshort. But those
who complain should remember that we have
only tried him on our owu grounds, which are, or
were when we played' there, in a very wretched
condition. Consequently ho had a very bad
start, lie played all right here yesterday, and
he will ulaj all rinhr. At any rate. In justice to
Miller and everybody else, he will be given a
good test. One thing Is certain, viz., that I am
not going to keep changing my team every day
to suit the whims of a few people. We have a
good team, and you'll see we'll hold our own
against anybody."
President O'Neil stated that the make-up of
his team was entirely in the hands of Manager
Hanlon. "But," said the Preident. "Mr. Han
lon is just acting as I would like to see him.
Our team now is first class if our pitchers were
only in their best form. When they get thor
oughly, into line tbe baseball world will know
we are on deck."

ICORRJ.RF01TDEXCS OF THE DISPATCH.!
NEW Yobk, May 2. There is a gentleman in
this city who has a cork in bis lungs. ' You may
have read jf it in the newspapers. Bnt tie is
only one of a million, as you might observe by
attending games of baseball in the Metro
politan districts.
What do you think of over 35,000 people at
the two opening games in New York and
Brooklyn? That was the total of the two
numbers given out for publication. Tbey may
have been exaggerated just a little but I think
not much. I have seen a. great many baseball
trowds In my day, and have handled tho tickets
and money resulting therefrom, aud it is pretty
hard to mislead me by false figures on base
hall crowds. I am Impressed with the idea
that the SiOOO people were all there as re
ported.
Please to take into consideration that tha
seating capacity of tbe new Polo Ground and
Kastern Park Is fully 40 per cent larcer than
the old Polo Ground and Washington Park,
and yet on both days hundreds Ot people were
lorced upon thq fields.
Now if you will imagine U per cent of tbose
who got seats forced out beyond the ropes,
you may Imagine what kind of crowds tbey
would have been in 1SS9.
My information is that 1,200 people In each
city would cover the nnmberof freeadmisiions
to those games. At- Brooklyn all who held
invitation cams entered hya private gate, and
a good idea of tbe proportion as compared to
those who paid their way in could easily be
observed. Fully 90 per cent went in through
the turnstile.
In New York it has been a hard thing this
year to get a "comp." The army of fans wdo
last year got free tickets to both eroands for
the akmg and sometimes had them forced
upon them, are now grumbling loud and long
about the stingy magnates of the consolidated
scheme. Things have changed, you know,
since then. It Is no longer a question of tbe
size of the "audience," but -of the amount in
the cash box.
Another proof of the revival of tho sport in
the Metropolitan district is found in the im
mense crowds winch surround tbe newspaper
bulletin boaras every afternoon and watch for
ttu scores. Last season there was seldom
enough interested in such bulletins to obstruct
the freedom of the sidewalks, and some of tho
newspapers soon ceased to post the returns.
But this year how different. It is once more a
pushing, swarming, eager mob.
A friend who passed up Park Row Monday
evening about 6 o'clock told me that be was
surprised to see a mighty host in front of tbe
new World building which surged far out on
the street and even scattered itself across to
City Hall Park. At first be was impressed
with the idea that Jack tbe Kipper had been
found and treed 'in tbe World building. Yet
there was such a death-like stillness hanging
over that great throne that he concluded it
was after all a multitude not thirsting for
vengeance.
As be was abont to try to push his way
tbrongb, the silence broke suddenly in' o a most
infernal bedlam. Hats went up in tbe air and
the roar from Broadway was drowned in the
cheers from a thousand throats; for at 'that
moment a boy had chalked up the result of the
ninth inning in tbe Brooklyn-New York game.
Again, on last Wednesday, at the Polo
Grounds, the big croud cheered loudly and
vociferously when the bulletin announced the
defeat of tbe Boston leaders.
How fortunate it was for the New York club
that they released neither Whistler nor Bas
sett. Whistler came in very, handy on Tuesday
when Tiernan was injured, and it was bis three
bagger in the ninth inning which won tbe game
Aiier iwu uauus wuie ouu
On Wednesday Danny Richardson had a cold
and laid oft Bassett took bis place and played
such a marvelous game at second and at the
bat that the spectators gave him an ovation. I
am informed that after the game .Danny went
home and rubbed goose grease under his chest
protector for an I hour. Then he boueht two
bottles of congh medicine and took a spoonful
every five mlnntes. At 1 o'clocknext.morning
he was still bathing his feet in' hot water, and
on xuurcaay ue was muctl Better,
The Brooklyn men didn't go home after their
game last "JV ednesday. Somehow they bad a
suspicion that every family in Brooklyn untied
their dog when they heard that the Bride
grooms had dropped the third game to Buck's
men.
Accordingly tbey went down to Water street
and reglstered.at the iiaat River Hotel. Cap
tain Ward was assigned to the suite of rooms
recently occupied by that distinguished guest
Jack tho Ripper. ,
Tbo hotel as a quiet .retreat was recom
mended to Mr. Bryne's men by Jim Mutne. He
put np at tbe same place n'ith his men while
the Bostons were our gcestsfast week.

to down.
It may have surprised a good many people to
hear that on last'Wednesday Kelly's club had
but 500 spectators at 25 cents admission, while
the League club baU 1.200 at 50 cents. But there
was cause for it all. Kelly's attraction (Colum
bus) was a weak one, and tbe League's (Chi
cago) was a strong one; Besides, Robinson's
circus, a Cincinnati Institution, bus been show
ing there this weck.and in Cincinnati a circus
or a race always did knock tbe end out of base
ball attendance.
Both clubs are drawing under tbelr ex
penses. Cincinnati cannot sapport two clubs.
That is as true as two and two are four. It Is
not for me to say which will bave to go, bnt one
will, as sure as you are born..
Pittshurg is doing well as a drawing center.
11 O'Ncil's team has any success at all in win
ninggames it will be a payer.in spite of its big
salary list, for it will be quite an attraction
away from home. " "
Philadelphia will do better with both its
clubs when Messrs. Wriebt and Sbarsig get
their teams strengthened in a few weak spots.
Both are good managers and can make their

He Talks About His Coming Battle With
Champion Bob Fitzslmmons.
Buffalo, May 2 Jim Hall. Billy Woods
and "Parson" Davies arrived iutown to-day
and registered at the Iroquois Hotel. Hall is a
perfect-picture of health, and was in a happy
frame of mind. "How about your coming fight
with FltzsimmonsT" he was asked.
"Oh, that will be a good fight," be replied,
and then be added in sarcastic tones: "Fitz
Simmons would risk bis own life to have mine.
Fitz' and I are deeply in love, but when I light
it will be for blood, and you can bet tbe best
man will take the pot. 1 am going to work
hard, and, when I get through with bim, then
I'm going for Ted'Pritchard. I will go over to
England to meet bim, and we will fight for big
money, probably for not less'.than 310,00a"
Hall and Woods appeared at Turner's Hall
here to-night. Hall sparred with Jim Glynn,
and Jim was -surprised at his own weakness.
Hall will leave Buffalo to-morrow for San
Francisco for the purpose of witnessing tbe
Jackson-Corbett mllL When asked for bis
opinion regarding tbe affair, he said:,
"Jackson will win the fight if it is on the
square. He is a trifle heavier and has bad moro
experience, and besides he is an older man and
ontclasses Corbett." Hall weighs at present
162 pounds. After the Jacksan-Coroett fight is
over be will return to Minneapolis, where he
will train with Billy Woods for his fight with
r nzsimtrjons.

"Final Deposit for Their Match.
The final depositor '$100 a side in the pro
posed wrestling match between Ed Reiliy and
Rube' Collenge was made good at this office
last evening. The principals were present to
gether with a large nnmberof friends.
There was a long and friendly discussion re

looked as if the parties were not going to a gree
on one. Finally the came to terms on M. B.
Jones, a well-known local sporting man. The
contest will take place to-morrow night is tbe
rink at McKee's Rocks, aud will commence at
8 o'clock. Tbe match is for 250 a side and all
the receipts.
The men will wrestle at catch-weight In
their last contest, it will be remembered, each

tions may make a difference. Both men are in
first-class trim and confident of victory. The
Rcilly -,party .wer on hand with 'plenty of
money, one nf them offering to bet S5U0 or nnv
part'of irthat Reiliy Would win. There was no
response from the Collenge side of the house.
The contest promises to be an exceedingly ox
citing one, as thft wrestlers have proven .them
selves to be flrstclass-at their business. They
bave both performed well in their trials.
Very Good Prospects for Some Excellent
Kaclng An Authority's Opinion.
J. Eysinger, nf Warren, Pa., is one of the
well informed horsemen of the State. He is
taking considerable interest in the approach
ing races of the Lake Erie Circuit, and he
thinks tbe meetings of tbat circuit will be a
great success this year.
Horses in Northwestern Pennsylvania are
now in training for tbe opening meeting. At
Warren. James Haley has a large stable of
trotters, -and will make extensive entries
through tbe entire circuit. For Mr. Eysinger,
he is training the bay mare Perrino. by Mon
mouth B, son of Aberdeen. He also has the
black gelding Milton Blackwood, tbat trotted a
desperate race of seven heats, against Stevio
at Tonawanda last year, taking a record of
2:26 -The moat promising fritter In'Haley's
stable is tbe black uiaro Lizzie S., by Wildfire.
Last year as a fonr-year.old she trotted to a
record of 222, and this year, it-13 thought,
she will trot several seconds faster, tshe, is
already matched against the stallion Lakewood
Prince (2i!6i), owned by the Chantauqua
Lake, Stock farm, fora purse of 51,000. Ihe
stallion .Frontier, by Onward,- (2:25J). and tbe
bay gelding Franklin, are also in Haley's
stable.
Mr. Eysinger says he has recently sold his
old campaigner Loyalty (227), that has been
seen on every race track in Western New
York, to D. W.Bailey, of Warren. She is in
foal to the Jewett Farm stallion Patcben
Wilkes, sire of Monita (226).
