A Big Purse Offered at Xew Orleans Mitchell and Filzsimmons. for GENERAL SPORTING SEWS OF THE DAT When Manager Buckenberger left the city to sign Charley Farrell he was in structed by the officials of the local club to meet and have a conference with Manager Powers, of the New York Club, regarding Denny .Lyons. Yesterdiy "Buck" met Manager Powers and wired to Pittsburg that it was "no cood." The reply, or announcement, meant that the local manager has been deputed to try nnd fix matters up with the Xew York club regarding the case, and one of the local of ficials didn't hesitate to S3V so. TJntil yes terday afternoon there had been a local hojie that Lyons could be got from New York without much difficulty, but since there has been so much abuse in the matter the New York jieojile mean to be a little disnified. The New York representative of this pa jier was at-ked last evening to learn the re sult of the conference between Managers Powers and Buckenberger. The lollowing reply came : Albert C. Buckenberger, mana ger ot the Pittsburg club, arrived in the citv to-dar and had a conference with Manager Powers. Thp question under dis cussion was whether Denny Lyons should plav in Pittsburg next season or in New York, rittsburg signed Lyons previous to the Indianapolis conference, and then the Committee on Plavers parceled the third baseman to New York. Manager Bucken berger tried to induce Powers to waive claim to Lyons, and the latter agreed to, providing Pittsburg would give New York the right to negotiate with Charley Farrclk Buckenberger had just succeeded in signing Farrell, and he promptly declined the jiroposition. There upon Powers said Lvons would plav in New Y'ork next season, and the conference came to an abrupt end. Manager Buckenberger appears to be fol lowed by a fiain of afflictions. A few weeks ago his mother aicd in Detroit, and to-day he got a telegram saj ins that his wife's brother was dung at Wheeling. He started for there this ev ening. MITCHELL AND HIZ A K!
