him still confined to his bed, suffering
from the effects of a severe cold. He

him very impatient, as he realizes that
he is losing much valuable time. He

in the last two days, all applications for
positions on the Denver team, and while

Interest in the Coming Contest
Growing Intense.
Interest in the coming fight between
Billy Myer and Jack McAuliffe for the
lightweight championship and $1,000 is
growing acute. says the Chicago Times,
and there is increasing evidence that
delegates from every sporting center
in the country will soon be scrambling
for a chance to see the contest. Both
men are training finely and are already
practically in condition. ALT Kennedy,
the hacker and friend Of Myer, and
McAullffe's trainer. Billy Madden, have
been i'm consultation for the past day or
two arranging details, and doing it in
spirit that shows both sides are seeking
the same thing-a dead square battle.
There has not been pugilistic en-
counter since Sullivan and Mitchell
came together at Chantilly of equal inn
portance to this one, which is set for
Feb. Is. McAulitfe is naturally the
favorite so far as talk goes. but the
Streator carpenter is conceded to be
such a good man that no betting has
yet been done, and probably none of any
moment will be done until the men
come together.

The Cleveland Uniform.

The Cleveland club officials have de-
cided that the team of 1889 must be
dressed in blue. gray and black and
white and black. The time honored
navy blue which has been worn since
jim White, Ez Sutton and AL Pratt
played in the Forest Cities is to be filed
away for good and all. A few of the
old guard will kick, and the success of
the change hangs on the form shown by
the team. If it does well in black and
gray. there will not be kick against
fhe combination.

A cablegram from London conveyed the
following information: Mrs. Helen Dau-

husband cabled to her before he sailed from
Australia that he did not think the base ball
team would get back to America much be-
fore May They are going 10 play games at
Rome, Paris and London. Mrs. Dauvray-
Ward says that her husband would like to go
to Boston. but she feels sure that he will not

There was a story i'll circulation yesterday
to the effect that the release of Hudson had
been offered to the new Columbus team. The
story comes from Louisville, where Doug
Cruthers heard it last week while signing
men for the new Columbus team. In the

son wanted Hudson, but that Columbus had
the first call. The story is denied by the Off
GERS of the st. Louis club.-St. Louis Re

The Australian reporters have not yet
mastered the intricacies of Americas
national game. The Melbourne Herald
of Dec. % has long account of one of
the ball games, and although the intro
duction is intelligent enough the reporter
is very miscellaneous when he gets
down to details. He begins in this
semi-editorial way:
I'VE were all expectation to see the
American game, and when All-Amer-
lea went in first, and the striker took
up his position, and the field was set,
there was something of breathless 81
lence around. When you see the way
the pitcher puts in the ball you inward

Brief Items About the Skaters,
Boxers and Base Ball Heroes.
Alex Paulsen signed contract with
w. p. GOoding yesterday, good until
April 1.
Patsey Cardiff and his manager, John
Donaldson, will leave Minneapolis
about March for San Francisco. where
he is matched to fight Peter Jackson
for the championship of the Pacific
coast and $4,000 purse given by the
San Francisco Athletic club. About
twenty stops will be made ON the route
for the purpose of giving exhibitions,
dates at several towns having already
care of himself, and feels confident Of
making good showing.
Paulsen will skate GOetZ one mile for
a purse of $50 at benefit given by him
to the Normanna society some day in
the near future, Paulsen to skate back
wards and Goetz the usual way. The
race will probably take place at the
Ball park, in South Minneapolis, as
soon as the society can arrange the de-
tails,
Beauty Eek is in town, and will en-
deavor to arrange bicycle race at the
Washington rink. Morgan, Prince,
Woodside and others will take part.
Manager Morton is busy these days
arranging for next seasons base ball
campaign. Not much can be said for or
against the club. as the men are to a
certain extent unknown quantities, with
the exception of Sprague, Hanrahan
and few others. With park located
near the West hotel, fair weather and a
club that stands as good as fourth place,
there is no doubt but what the invest
ment will be profitable one.
Elmer Foster is said to be a finer
fancy skater than Paulsen, and some of
his admirers are considering the advlsa-
bility of matching HIM against the
Norsk champion.
Paulsen leaves tonight for Eau Claire,
where he gives an exhibition Monday.

EARLE In DANCER.
The Little Fellow May Get His
Hands Pounded to Pieces.

Hands Pounded to Pieces.
Cincinnati had a bitter experience
with Jack O'Connor, says Cincinnati
correspondent, and it is to be hoped it
will not be repeated with Earle. The
latter's catching for the All-American
team seems to be one of the priclipal
features of the Australian trip. If he
can only keep up his present gait next
season Cincinnati patrons will be salts
fed. Earle, however, is in constant
danger Of being permanently injured,
and it is in keeping with Cincinnati's
hard luck to have him come home out of
condition. He is catching two of the
fastest pitchers in the profession. No
pitcher in America can approach Ed
Crane in point of speed, and his team
partner. Long John Healy, can put
feathers on the ball when he wants to.
Under their bombardment Earle's hands
may be pounded out of shape. Cincin-
natl had one catcher who has been used
up in this manner.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 2.-Fifty per-
sons assembled in Second street barn
early this morning and saw one of the
hardest fights that ever took place in
the state of Wisconsin. John Van Hest
who recently acquired the title of cham
pion featherweight of the Northwest,
ana Billy Welch of about the same
weight as Van Hest, were contestants
for purse made up by the SPECTATORS.
Skin gloves were dOnned and the fight
began under London prize ring rules.
Neither gained any advantage until
after the first few rounds, but all the
way through heavy smuggling was the
order. Van Hest seemed to be the
fresher of the two, however, and when
time was called for the sixteenth round
went at WEIGH hammer and tOngs, scor-
ing two knock-downs in succession.
When time for the eighteenth round
was called, Van Hest caught his antag-
onist by blow on the jaw which COM
pletely paralyzed Welch, and he re-
fused to fight further. The referee
awarded the fight to Van Hest.
