GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
Our baseball sluggers 'will certainly have
a very tough argument before them
to-day. They have to meet tlia if rooklyns,
otherwise known as Ward's "Wonders.
When these "Wonders landed here in the
arly partef last season they were quite
easy victims for the local heroes, but things
have somewhat changed since then in botli
reams. On this trip President Byrne and
JIanacer "Ward bring with them a really
pood team, and it goes without the saying
that if the home talent get a victory to-day
they will have to work for it.
So far tlii season the Ilrooklyns have put
up a splendid article of baseball, and the
large number of AVard's Pittsburg friends
are glad of it. And the local team have
been doinc some ball playing themselves,
so that if both teams play in their best
form there will be a great game.
Last evening Manager Buckenberger was
undecided as to whom he would put in to
pitch to-day. It will either be Gal via or
Baldwin. The latter has been quite stic
crsslul in the past against Brooklyn and he
probably will be asked to try and down
them again to-day as he may leave for
Philadelphia this evening. The teams will
be as follows:
I'itrsbunr. Tosition. Brooklyn.
Gal vin or Baldwin. Pitcher routz or Hurt
JIack Catcher Daily
JSeckley Firt Biouthcis

Shnpart Short Corcoran
Farrcll Third .lovco

It will be seen that there are some well
known players among the Brooklyn";, and
doubtless the local cranks will be glad to
see our lorraer shortstop, Tommv Corcoran,
again. The visitors will arrive In this city
this morning.

El Paso, Tex., May J. Mike Conley. tho
Ithaca Giant, and C F. Fisher, of El Paso,
met at Ryan's Opera Bouse last night for a
purse of 1500. Both men were In fine condi
tion. Conley forced the fighting all the way
tlironghout.tlie honors even up to the seventh
round, when Fisher was driven to the ropes
and was dealt a severe blow on the neck.
Bo became groggy and was knocked down
several times, but kept getting up until
time was called. After severe punishment
in the eighth round, Fisher came up weak,
while Conlev was active as ever. In the
tenth round'Fisher was lradly punished and
tho referee gave the fight to Conley.

GSEAT PIGEON FLYING.
A Boston Bird Breaks a Record and Cap
tures Some Prizes.
PniLADELrniA, May 1. i'pfctof. The
pigeon-flying season of 1S92 was opened to
day with the Journey of three birds. Forty
Minutes Victorand Bowdoin.ofDaniel Con
nolly, Boston, from Kew York City and tho
lend for the Columbian prizes has been taken
by the best speed as yet to the credit of Bos
ton birds or than was e-er made from tho
distance and by a greater distance, than has
been made at so enily a date since 1S4. The
Mart was from the tower of Madison Sanare
Garden by M. J. V. Gottschalk at 9:15 o'clock
thU morning.
The report rendered bv wire gave tho
cipher of the countermark carried by tho
bird over tho course and 12.15 r. jr. as the
time of arrival. The air lino distance cov
ered is about 173 G miles. This nt the figures
reported would clve the averane sneed
l,i07 yards per minute, tho mile In
of
61.8 seconds. The official time was to bo
taken by watchers at the loft and their
figures in counting the soconds and traction
thereof may reduce the average speed from
that computed from the timoof thcadvlsory
report by wire. The fact remains, however,
that Forty Minutes has the lead with 173
miles distance for the Columbian prizes, for
the Clipper and Onting nnd Diana tower tro
phies and with tho possibility of making a
claim lor tho special prize offered for the
best break In the record for 8pced from the
Metropolis to New England.
Forty M'nntes is a wngncr bred bird and
wears the registered band of 1890. It has
been risked without mercy since It could use
its wings, its owner being considered the
most reckless flyer in Xew England. Last
November it made twojourneys from Perth
Amboy, starting in one of them at noon. It
has already flonn from New York once this
year.
