Pugiliam in General.

During the week there has been somewhat of
a subsistence among the istic performers. La
Blanche is still unmatched; not because he
cannot secure an opponent, but because he
wants his choice, and also very large amount
of money besides. 1t does not seem as if he
and Pat Farrell would come together, as La
Blanche, like all glove champions, wants al
most half of the United States before he will
condescend to meet Farrell. On the other
hand, there is plenty of money for Dempsey TO
fight La Blanche, but in this case it is the man
and not the money that La Blanche objects TO.

Local Foot RncInE.

The recent foot race between E. G. McClel-
land and Peter Priddy proves one fact beyond
a doubt, viz, that an honest contest will re-
ceive patronage in this city. Certainly a
squarer race was never run and the amount Of
money at stake made the contest an important
one. The public became convinced of this fact
and the race had better patronage than any
foot race have seen in this city. This fact
should have some influence on the minds of
sporting people, for it certainly proves that it
is very profitable to have a square contest
that the next big event of professional kind,
that is of the foot racing kind, will be even
better patronized than the race of Saturday
last.

The Youngsters.

In talking so much of the Brotherhood and
League we almost forgot that there is quite a
new club in the city, or at least, is expected to
be in the city. l refer to the aggregation of
young men being gotten together bv Mr.. Harry
Smith. The latter is certainly the most san
guine young gentleman whom have ever met
He has signed about IL young men, think and
in every instance Mr.. Smith has been convinced
that he has secured the ''best young PLAYER in
the country" There is nothing like confidence
however But, if good, passable second-class
nine is secured from the II young men, think
everybody concerned ought to be convinced.
Rome wasn't built in day, and no more can a
tirst-class ball team be made in a week out of
raw material OneEery wise thing is intended,
however; that is the intention of sending the
team on tour through the South. A trip of
this kind will certainly result in considerable
good, and 1t may be, providing the Brotherhood
plans are all carried out that our young club
will show up well against the other young
teams of the League and thereby be a profit
able attraction. But if all the old Hoosiers re-
main with their old club, except two or three
the Hooslers will be very formidable team in
the League Still some of us may be dsap-
pointed in these young clubs. For my part 1
wish every one of them well, because in bulld.
ing them up, the League is sh owing its true
American courage in fighting to maintain its
own existence. 1t will be very hot struggle,
but 1 cannot help thinking that in such cilies
as Pittsburg ana Cleveland the Brotherhood
will have considerably the best OF it. l say
this assuming that all or almost all
of the old players in each city will be
in the Brotherhood teams. If this is so it seems
certain that the brotherhood team here will
have a good time of it. OF course am mind
full of the fact that the League club can adopt
the 25-cent admission system, but despite that
fact it seems that there will be such a contrast
between the playing qualities of the two clubs
that the old players will have very big patron
age. Certainly all this is only conjecture, and
the young club. II ever we have it playing, NAV
have larger patronage than we expect. II it
has anything like a reasonable patronage at all
the prospects of the old players will not be of
the brightest here, because the city will not
keep two clubs.

HomewOOd Park.

There is much to regret about the difficulties
that have surrounded HOmeWood Driving Park
for SO long time. 1t seems as if,these diff.
culties are going to result in the thorough
breaking up Of that very fine race track. 1t
may be that some syndicate or number of capi-
talsts at the last moment will come to the rescue
and save it from transformation that means the
disappearance of the track. In the past it has
not peen successful by any means, but the
reasons for this are quite clear and they are
such as to give hope of future success should
the track he Kept intact. Better railroad facili-
ties, combined with the fact of a growing East
End population would seem TO point out good
future for Homewood Park. Certainly the en-
torcement of an old law relating to poolselling
has had something to do with its faculties,
but that law could soon be reformed were a
determined effort 70 be made. AT any rate 1
venture 20 say that every lover of good horse
race will regret to see the disappearance of
such an exceptionally good track as that at
HOmewood.
The Football Season.
1t seems somewhat singular that in a neigh
borhood like Pit'sburg, where young athletes
are so numerous, there should be such dearth
of football matches. In other parts of the
country, and of the world, the lively and splen-
did game IN question is becoming more and
more popular, and matches are consequently
becoming more numerous. In my estimation
there is not more seasonable game than the
old one of football, and this fact seems to be
influencing thousands OF people. Probably no
game on earth is attracting such tremendous
crowds as football is doing at present among
the Britishers. 1t is like baseball here becom.

The PlaYers' Reply

without the very pertinent address of the
League has had some effect on the
leaders of the players. Tha. fact that
not an hour was lost before re-
ply to that address was presented to the public
shows that tho players deemed it of some un-
usual force; but sincerely trust that we have
seen the last of these manifestos either from
League or players. But the reply of the play
ers is certainly very great Improvement on
their original appeal. 1t is in many respects a
well prepared and expedient paper. Of course,
like that of the League and such like effusions
it is full of expediency but in the matter of
argument it is very forcible, indeed. Really its
main features are those which should have
been expressed in the players first appeal !"
but it is one thing to introduce a question and
quite another to reply. However, it
seems to me an entire stroke of expedIency on
the part Of the players to expatiate on the re
serve" rule when they themselves defended it
by inserting it in the well-known Brotherhood
contract. With no reserve rule there will be
no good baseball.
