Local sporting circles were somewhat
surprised last evening to learn that Will
lam Dugan, a Southsider, was out with
challenge to fight Pat Farrell. the chal-
lenger of George La Blanche, who recently
defeated Jack Dempsey. When the fact
was first known none of the sports would
believe it. However, the writer met Dugan,
and in answer to a series of questions, Dugan
said:
"Yes, sir. am ready to fight Pat Farrell at
any time and under any rules for $500 side.
can put up my own money, and Farrell need
not leave Pittsburg in search Of a battle.
think can give him all the fighting he can
stand. and am not making any bluff. I am
ready any time Farrell says ne is ready.
THE STAKES BIG ENOUGH.
81 don't think he need grumble about the
size of the stakes because he has never fought
for $500 in his life. All that 1 have to say is
will fight him"
Dugan is comparatively unknown as pugi-
list here However. he is a powerfully built
young man of about 25 years of age. He will
weigh about ITO or $50 pounds and has had some
experience in training pugilists.
Farrell could not be seen last evening but
one of his intimate friends made the following
statement: FARRELL will pay no attention TO men
ike Dugan. All these challenges to Farrell
are made for the purpose OF iDjuring his
prospects. He has challenged La Blanche for
the middleweight championship of America
and he can make mis- challenge good. This
challenge of his has aroused the envy of certain
peopie hence the noise. But any sensible man
will know that Farrell in his present position
cannot fight local man for $500 side.
NOTHING TO GAIN.
We're he to fight and win his financial gain
would be almost nothing and he would lose his
position on the police force. That would not
pay At any rate, Farrell will not fight man
in Pennsylvania. We trust he can defear the
Marine and are prepared to back him in that
match If it can be made. We still have hopes
that the Marine will meet him, because Farrell
is willing to go to San Francisco to fight That
means business. Most certainly we are not
prepared to listen to every Tom, Dick and
barry that may talk about meeting him. If
Dugan wants fight he can have one with
man of much less note than Farrell"

The Famous Pedestrian VIII Start In the
Local Race.
Dan Herty, the famous long-distance pedes-
trian, wired Manager Davis yesterday, stating
that be will start in the 72hour race in this city
during Christmas week This resolve is of
great interest to local sporting people, as Herty
has recently offered to go six days against any
man in the world. He has q brilliant record
and amid the many long distance races in the
country he prefers to come here as there is
strong desire among many of the intending
contestants to make a big sweepstake in ad-
dition to the 81, 900 offered by Manager Davis,
which will probably insure the winner 81 900.
Herty proposes to come here week before the
race and finish his training. He is the man
who finished good second to Littlewood at
Madison Square Camden.
Sam Day has commenced active training for
the race, and his hackers think his chance for
defeating Noremac exceedingly good Gamble,
of Leechburg, forwarded his entrance $25 yes
terday. Already there are about ten men In
training for the race. The expenses for the
contest will amount to about $780, as the in
terror of the London Theater is to be entirely
renovated and new track laid right round the
building. Workmen will start the clearing
OUT process tomorrow.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, November 3O.-The city

foot race. C. A. Dodson, Iowa's popular anna
teur sprinter. was induced to enter into $500
contest with ]. c. Dallas. of Eagle Grove, whose
time is 10 4-5 seconds. Over 200 people were
present to witness the contest and the presence
of large number of sports was noticeable.
The runner was brought forward and lnme-
diately recognized as the professional, John
son, the world beater of 'S6, and hot dispute
resulted. A. Y. Evarts. Dodson's trainer, Of
fered to put 500 up that the man brought for
ward was not Dallas. To this there were no
takers. The proposition was then made that
the race go on and if Dallas won he was to
prove his identity before receiving the money.
This failed to suit and the race was declared
of. Later developments proved that gang of
seven professional sprinters are around doing
the towns and roplng in amateur money. Dod-
son still stands first and can find thousands Of

A Broiherhood Stakeholder Talks About
the New Local Club.
The rumors that have been current during
the week to the effect that the proposed
Brotherhood team of this city will be trans
ferred to Cincinnati. is discredited by local
Brotherhood supporters. A stockholder Of the
new club, referring to the matter yesterday,
said:
II can assure you that If there is Brother
hood team IN any city in the country there will
be one at Pittsburg. Wehave made our minds
mp on that point and we have plenty of money.
Don't let ANYBODY imagine that the new club
will lack backing. The move has been COM
menced and most certainly we mean to con-
tinue it. The grounds will be made first class
and so will the grand stand. 1 can Vouch for
that part of the business.
II am of opinion" continued the stock
holder, that the December meeting of the
Brotherhood will make some changes in the
rules, etc. An organization cannot be built in
a day and plans that were adopted few
months or weeks ago need changing now, be-
cause of changes that have taken place on the
outside. 1t seems to me that salary guaran-
tee fund nfust be established, and IL this is
done, the players contracts, of course, will
need a little alteration. But what want to
say is, we will have a Brotherhood club in
Pittsburg next year. and it will be hummer"

BALTIMORE, November 30.-The much
talked-about and long-contemplaTed Baltimore
Washington deal has finally materialized, but
in manner altogether different from what
was expected Instead of Baltimore absorbing
the Washington team. the reverse has oc-
CURED. The Senators will have the pick of the
Orioles while the less desirable players will
form the nucleus of a club which will be part
and parcel of the Atlantic Association. The
patrons of baseball here are very much disap-
pointed over the outcome of the arrangement,
for they had been led to believe that the Sena-
tors franchise would be transferred to this
city.
It appears that Immediately after the break
aI the New York meeting of the Association a
supreme effort was made by the local man
ayers to effect combination with the WASH
ington club by which the franchise of that city
would be turned over to Baltimore. 1t is very
generally understood that, in case Washington
fails to support the club the team will event.
ually be transferred to this city.

1t is likely that the local football team that
visited Detroit last Thursday will stick to-
gether for the season and tackle some OF the
leading teams in the State. The team went to
Detroit without any practice, and the players
showed up so well there that good judges are
of the opinion that with little practice to-
gether they will be able to hold their own
against some of the best teams. II Is, there
fore, probable that big match will he arranged

OPINION IN CHICAGO
IMPULSE, NOT PRINCIPLE.
That's What Sunday says of the Brother
hood Scheme.

hood Scheme.
W. A. Sunday has declared himself very
strongly against the Brotherhood and the man
ner in which he qualities origin is very signif-
cant. Yesterday President Nimick received a
letter from him, in which he states that the or
ganization, or at least the present action, is
founded on impulse and not principle. This
is somewhat strong, coming as it does from a
conscientious gentleman like Billy. The letter
is as follows:
After careful consideration have decided
to remain with the National League and with
the Pittsburg club as promised. l recognized
the fact that so far as moral principle Is con-
cerned my agreement with the Brotherhood
was binding, SO / have seen Mr.. Ward about
the matter and have received from him an in
dorsement of my application to be released
from all obligations and also to have my name
stricken from the roll of the Brotherhood.
''Mr. Ward also agreed to see the stockhold-
ers of the new Pittsburg club and get my
written release. see now that made a. mis-
take in allowing myself to be drawn as far as 1
did. 1 have taken the way that seems honor
able to withdraw. 1t was impulse not principle
that drew me, and 1 think the whole scheme
is built on the same foundation"

ABOUT THE sCULLERs AND FOOTBALL

Two or three weeks ago I discussed the
probability of a consolidation Of Brother
hood and American Association forces. At
that time there were vague rumors afoat to
the effect that q consolidation of the two
bodies would take place. John NJ. Ward,
however, recently stated to me in the most
emphatic and definite terms that no such
consolidation could ever take place. He
vent on to say that the Brotherhood in
tended TO place baseball on higher plane,
morally and Otherwise than it had been,
and, therefore. the Brotherhood could not
join hands with any older organization. The
great question now is: Was Mr.. Ward
speaking the truth when he made this state
ment? Was he even honestly speaking his
sentiments? If the reports from Columbus,
st. Louis and other places published in The
DISPATCH this week are true, then it seems
to rue that Mr. Ward told me exactly what
he did not believe to be true. 1t seems
to me that either Mr. Ward or the other West
ern authorities are determined TO misrepresent
things We all know that not only Mr.. Ward
but others continued to state that the players
would meet the League before declaring an
open revolt, and we all know that they did not
do So Furthermore, We know now that those
who said the Brotherhood, that is those Broth
erhood officials, would meet the League knew
Rt the time that they were simply telling what
was not true. The indications are that
similar plan of false stories characTerizes the
deal in question. There is nothing so hurtful
TO public enterprise as public misrepresenta-
tion by its leaders. If it is not convenient to
tell the truth the better way would be to say
a n t4l
However. there are very strong indications to
the effect that the American Association, at
least what is left of it, will 90 over to the
Brotherhood. II ever a deal like this is con-
summated, OF even if negotiations toward that
end have been going on. then let everybody
cease talking about the battle of principle"
the union spirit and such like catch phrases
that have prompted the players to desert the
National League.
