CHICAGO, May 3.-With the exception
OF an occasional glove contest between local
boxers OF local reputation there has been
nothing to break the temporary period Of
dizziness now existing in this class of sport
ing. A few days since 'Parson'' Davies
quietly took his departure for New York
and Boston, and it was intimated among
sporting men that he had gone to arrange
for an athletic entertainment to take place
in this city, at which the champion might
be induced to appear. Upon his return,
however, the ''parSon' would not admit that
any such arrangements had been effected,
although he intimated that later on athlet
les in Chicago would awake up a bit"
The 'parson" has withdrawn from the Ran
dolph street resort, with which he has so
long been identified, and Friday last as
sumed control of 1.-THE Store" upon the
retirement therefrom of M. C. Mcdonald.
On the night of May % Charley Mitchell
and Mike Cleary are to spar at San Fran
cisco, and the result of the meeting
will be looked for with interest by admir-
ers of the art. Upon Mitcheli's
return East, he will in all probability have
a go at Jack Burke here in Chicago. No
positive arrangements to this end have
been made, but it is scarcely likely that
Mitchell would throw thousand or two
over his shoulder when it can be obtained
by simply defeating Jack Burke. AS to the
relative skill and proves of these men
there has for years past been considerable
speculation, and match between them, if
well contested, would doubtless pay both
themselves and the sporting public.
Base Ball.
Comparatively few games were played by
the six clubs of the Western league during
the past week. The indianapolis club Sc
cured four successive victories, defeating on
its own grounds the AIilwaukees by scores
of to and II to 8, and the ToledOs by 9
to and II to 4. The Cleveland team beat
the Toledo club in four successive games by
the respective scores of II to 5, II to 9, II
to and 4 to 3. No games were played by
the Kansas City and Omaha clubs on ac-
count of rain. The indianapolis and Cleve-
land clubs lead up to April 81, the former
having five victories and one defeat and the
latter four victories. The Kansas city has
won and the Omaha lost the only two games
played by each, while Milwaukee has one
victory and three defeats, and the Toledo
team has six successive defeats.
Remarkable pitching was shown by Con-
way in the game between the Lawrence
and Waltham clubs, April 25, in Lawrence,
Mass He struck out nineteen men and re-
tired the Walthams without a run or even a
safe hit in the entire game.
1t is said that the managers of the In
dianapolis club intend to test the constitu-
tionality of the law prohibiting ball playing
on Sunday.
There are four left-handed pitchers in the
Southern league, Kilroy, Bauer, Parsons
and Ramsey.
The Quaker City club of Philadelphia has
recently been reorganized ON solid foun-
