square it up with the latter, and will prob
ably have to whistle for his money from

Caleb Sherman, the negro captured by
Constable Hazard Martin some nights ago
in the act of robbing a white man on Ohio
levee, was examined in Justice Robinsons
court yesterday and held to bail in the sum
of 5000. Sherman is a VIGOROUSLY bad
character. Some years ago Mr.. Max Hy-
man, of j. Burgers store, caught him
while stealing shoes from in front of the
store Sherman turned and attacked Mr..
Hyman with an open pocket knife, infict
ing bad wound on Mr.. HIS throat. He
was sent to the penitentiary for five years
and eight months, which term be served
out, less the time deducted for good behav-
ior while in prison. But his lesson did not
last him long. He is just as dangerous a
rascal as he was before.

RUMORs OF CHANGES IN THE MINES.

Rumors have been rife recently about con-
tcmpated changes In the Metropolitan and Brooklyn
baseball mines Some say that James Murle will man
tlrely severng his connection with the Metropo-
tan club, and that John Lynch, the pitcher, whose
good work last virtually won the American Ass0-
citation pennant for the Metropolitan club, will also play
with the League nine. Lynch is now in England, but
from talks with various persons by TRIBUNE reporter
it appeared that these two changes Will probably take
place.
wellknown baseball man said Saturday that not
only would Mr.. Mutre manage the League club aud
Lynch pitch for that nne but that there strong
probabilities of decided baseball sensation cropping
out about the Metropolitan and Brooklyn clubs.
portion Of his conversation Is as follows :
" You probably aware that the Brook
has yet signed agreement with any Of them.
This does not seem strange when y0u near that
the managers Of the Metropolitan and Brooklyn Clubs
thinking seriously Of consolidating the two organ
cations. think If will turn out this way: Should the
Metropolitan Exhibition Company receive sufficiently
icct to aving the American Association champions rep
resent Brooklyn ext year" -
Others say however. that the New York Company will
try To buy ont the Brooklyn Grounds and place the
is wellknOwn fact that Metropolitan
Park. Mt Onehundrcd and ghtli-st. and First
ave. has not been renuneratiye speculation aud IL
seems hardly probable that the management VIII try
be made. Frst-Class players are haId
get and consequently good club il more valuable
than several ball parks. There probably htty fine
baseball parks in the country but there are not that
many frstclass mines by any means.
The championship pennant of the Eastern League has
not been awarded yet
There is some talk of making Bob Ferguson chief of
the League umpres
