John Ward left London at y o'clock yes
tcrday morning. lie left the All America
team somewhat crippled and IL was neces-
sary to bring Fogarty in from the outficld
to play short aud TO put Healy or Crane In
Fogartys position. In spite Of these dis
advantages, however, All America cap
turcd another game from the Chicago's yes
terday. The game was played on the boau
tiful grounds OF the Crystal Palace Cricket
Club before an audience which numbered
not less than 5000, and which, 10 all APP
pearances at least, was composed of the
very best sort Of people, though there were
no titled persons or other celebrities press
emit. Crane, through an uufortunate mis-
understanding, missed the train by which
the others went out to the grounds, and
was unable to arrive until the third inning,
up TO which time Petit and Tcner alter
nately played In the field for their oppo-
nents. The hitting was not very free, as
both Hcaly and Baldwin had their pitch
ing clothes ON and were able TO fool their
opponents without much trouble. The
following is the score by innings:

Jake Kilrain, the alleged champion, IN
dulgcd in an immense amount of ridiculous
nonsense just before he sailed for Euglan |.
He protested great anxiety over Sullivan's
latest escapadc and feared ~ that IT might
interfere with their battle Kilrain init
mated that the big one had gone on this
drunk in order to inspire his hackers, with
fear that they might withdraw their money.
BY this means Sullivan could escape a flight
in which he was dead sure to be defeated.
It's dollars to doughnuts that Sullivan,
drunk or sober, can whip Kilrain, and no
one realizes this state of affairs better than
the latter. The deep interest he displays
In Sulliyan's present condition aud his
fear that II will, LEAD to withdrawal Of the
stakes, is somewhat amusing. %
Kilrain is peculiar,
He thinks he can fool-yer
BY bellicose talk while he stands. on the
pier,
But the fact is that Jakey
Feels little bit shaky,
Though he tries TO believe himself minus
OF fear.
Paul Hines made tremendous .kick"
over his classification. He objected more
to being placed in class "B" than to the
reduction In his salary
The exchange of Healy OF the Indianapo-
lis team for Whitney Of the Washingtons,
has not been contemplated.
Boston reports for duty March 49,. Sow
ders writes that he will sign his contract,
and Ray has already signed, This com
pletes the list Of Boston's doubtful players.
The cities which will be represented In the
Southern League are Savannah, Charleston,
Atlanta, BIZ mingham, Mobile, Chattanooga,
Memphis and New Orleans. There was an
attempt made by the league to adopt the
| 81 900 limit, but II WIS not successful, and
every city is now on the lookout for, the
| very best men to be had, and will put up
big money TO secure such.
