step, has been taken in the proposed battle be-
tween Sullivan and Kilrain. The entire stakes
have been put up, and final stakeholder
selected. Both parties readily agreed TO Mr..
Cridge as the man to hold the money, and
probably better man could not have been
selected for the position. However, am one
of that party who believes that the proposed
battle is not by any means certain yet. viii
never believe that Sullivan will be in condition
to fight, or that there is a bona fde stake be-
hind him until he is in the ring. There are
numerous ways by which battle can be pre-
vented, and there are just as many reasons
why the Sullivan party should play game OF
'biuff " by putting up the final deposit. Now
that all the stake money Is up k1lram cannot
do other than return from England before
long. This will upset his arrangements IN En-
gland, and make the Sullivan party correspond
ingly happy Were the Sullivan party to
withdraw IRON the contest without reasonable
or an apparently reasonable excuse their busl-
ness as a rival to that of r. K. Fox, would be
injured. However, l will be hard to convince
that Sullivan will be in condition to hight
Kilrain and it is certain that sullivan must
needs be in 'tip-top. shape 70 nolo ms own 1,a
has proved himself better in that respect than
Sullivan. John L. may be somewhat stronger
than Kilrain, but he will not last as long. Kill
rain in nv way of thinking is better ring
tactician than Sullivan and il seems safe to say
that had Kilrain been in Mitchell's place in the
battle in France Sullivan would have been
knocked out. Besides, it is reasonable to say
that Sullivan will not be in even such good
condition at the date of the proposed battle as
he was when he fought Mitchell There is
another thing that we must not over
look, VIZ, Sullivan is not, in name, the
terror he was. A few years ago had he met
Kilrain in a glove contest the latter would
probably have been settled in short order Sui
iivan is not a patient fighter, never was and
never will be. Kilraln and almost everybody
else knows this, mostly because Mitchell ex-
posed the fact. If he cannot settle an opponent
speedily his impatence worrits him extremely
even better ring fighters than Sullivan in a
ring. Altogether it seems that Sullivan and
his party, under the circumstances, have every
thing to lose by going on with the battle. The
chances in all respects are against them, and l
don't think that any one of the party cares to
risk $1,000 without excellent opportunities Of
getting it back.

Another Big Champion.

Australia is making more rapid progress in
almost all branches of sport than any other
country. During recent years its natives
jumped wonderfully to the front in aquatics,
foot racing and cricket playing. Pugilism
seems to have been the art in which they have
been most backward. However, they are ap-
parently waking up on that point and in a short
time we will have their only champion heavy
weight, Mr.. Slavin. The latter and his friends
claim that Peter jackson is not champion Of
Australia and that he has repeatedly refused
to fight Slavin for the title. Slavin has in ring
parlance, laid everybody out in that far-a-way
country and is now on the track of big Peter
jackson. 1t seems to be with Australians
pugilists as with her rowers, we have nothing
by which we can definitely measure them.
Slavin recently polished off Jack Burke but
Burke is nothing like a first-class man.
jackson has defeated two or three big
Americans, but nobody will contend that they
were front rank men. However, the very fact
that such men as Jackson and Slavin are aspir-
ing to down the best men in the world shows
that Australia is coming to the front in
pugilism. jackson apparently has an easy
task before him in his fight with Cardiff. At
any rate if Jackson does not win he will soon
sink into obScurity

SpaIdinC's Opinions,

Since the return Of the ''Globe trotters"
President Spalding has made many interesting
statements. Among them he has expressed his
views on one or two questions that are of i'm
portance to the League. I refer to the ques-
tlons Of the rule relating to the balls and
strikes, 2-month contracts for players and the
employment of players IN saloons. President
Spalding is opposed to the new rule of four
balls and three strikes He prefers four strikes
and FIVE balls, with,t the pitcher moved back a
few feet. Had Mr.. Spalding been at the meet
ing of the National League he would have ad-
vocated this change, and it might have been
adopted. However, it is safe to say that the
matter will be rediscussed at the next League
meeting. League members will then be
better able to judge as to the merits
and demeTits of the present rule So
far as it has been tested it does not appear
that the batter is going to be benefited very
much, and the great object was to increase the
batting. President Spalding's notion about
signing players for y months is not new by
any means. 1t ever any question had two good
sides to it this one has. fear that when an
attempt is made to sign players from years
end to years end there will be considerable
trouble. OF course the system has many good
points connected with it; but if player has to
be under contract all the year will he receive
3 proportionate increase of salary? and how far
will the power of dictation of the club officials
extend?

FLYING Somewhat High.

Jack McAuliffe has once more declared him.
self on the question of fighting for what he
calls small stakes. Paddy smith and Daily each
want to fight him for $1,000 side and the
championship, but John cannot condescend to
enter the ring under $500 a side. He has,
however, stopped to say that if the California
Athletic Club will offer purse of $500, he
will fight for 81, 600 side in addition. All this
seems ridiculous, so much so that any man who
claims TO be a champion and refuses to fight
for the title and s.. 900 side. should be COM
PEELED to forfeit it at once. McAuliffe's per-
formance against Meyer certainly Goes not
warrant him in entertaining such high notions.
However, if McAuliffe crosses the Atlantic
and meets Carney, he will be accommodated
with as big stake as he wishes.

Ball Players and Saloons.

1t does seem to me that many of the League
magnates are disposed to make very big en-
croachments on the individual rights of the
players. Most assuredly we all know that the
intentions of these magnates are good; they
want to put the morality Of the players on a
pure and safe basis. President Spalding
definitely states that next year he will make
efforts to have League rule to the effect that
no League ball players be employed in the
saloon business during the winter. This is
drawing the line pretty strong, but whether it
will make drunken ball players sober is another
matter. As rule, bartenders are a very sober
class of people; in fact, a bartender can
not well be retained as such if he
is a drunkard. 1t might be as
well, in fact il would be better, were a rule
passed prohibiting ball players from going into
3 saloon at all between January and December
81. II a ball player is disposed to drink during
the winter he will do it whether he is en-
ployed in a saloon or not, and if he does not de-
sire TO drink, being employed in a saloon will
be no more tempting 6han running round the
city with friends who do drink. But l would
like to know why there is such desire to cur
tail individual liberty in view Of the classifca-
ton of salary rule. That rule provides that
plavers be punished for bad moral conduct
and surely its friends ought to see it tested
thoroughly before more drastic methods are
required.

DOminick is Doing Well.

I had letter from Dominick McCaffrey the
other day, in which he says that he is doing ex-
tremely well in his new saloon business at New
York. He also states that he has retired per-
manently from the ring, and that nothing will
induce him to return to it. He adds that there
is nothing in it," and that generally speaking
it causes young men to waste many of the best
years of their life. There is considerable force
in what Dominick says, and it might do many
young aspirants for pugilistic fame great good
if they would think the matter over.

searIe and O'Connor.

Last week I said that William o'Connor
would likely be willing to row Searle, the Aus
tralian. During this week an understanding
has been arrived at between the two scullers to
the effect that they will row for the worlds
championship on the Thames, England. in Sep
tember next Searle, according to present ar
rangements, will be IN England some time in
May, and O'Connor has fixed no time yet If
all goes well and the race takes place, it will
undoubtedly be one Of the most interesting
that has been seen for years. To very great
ehtent both 0'CSpnor and SeaTle are unknown
Quantities. We have of course, some idea of
VConnor, but nothing absolutely definite
1aDo9t Searle we know nothing, except that he
nSs oeieated certain men in Australia in GER
e eslh time. This gives no correct idea as to how
Searle compares with our frst-class men.
lnese features will certainly tend to make the
proposed race one of heavy speculation.
