Baseball Notes.

malt called In the negotiations for the clos.
ing up OF the business portion of the Sulli-
van-McCaffrey contest. The money lies in
a safe here. and McCaffrey and his hacker
Sullivan on the ground that the referee did
not make his decision. In his challenge OF
last night to John L. Sullivan for a fight
with bare k%nuckles, Dominick McCaffrey
proposed to put up the same amount as
his adversary. Tonight Sullivan issued a
challenge for a fight to a finish with or
without gloves, to take place inside OF
three weeks at a private place. AS to
stakes, Sullivan offers to put up S., 900 to
McCaffrey's $4,000 that he will whip him.
Man and money are at Sullivan's saloon,
PAID THE ONE
George Campbell, lessee of Chester Park,
whe had the gate money in custody, decided
this afternoon to make no further trouble
Tor himself by holding the money, but to
pay over Sulli~ans share and let McCaffery
make good his claim to a portion of it in
court. If he chose to. He, therefore, paid
to John L. Sullivan S., 6S4. 60 as his so
per cent. OF the gate money. The difficulties
in getting a decision changed by going to
law are SO great that it is not thought
likely that it will be undertaken.

the Sullivan-McCaffrey prize fight, states
that no decision as to the result OF the con-

ION That SO lar as the fighting is concerned
Sullivan had the best OF it. Tate has not
yet seen the articles Of agreement, but says

night with a copy Of the articles. and that
no further action will be had i'm the matter
until he arrives.
