The Home PugiIfsfs,

There is nothing of very great importance
happening among the pugiIistic fraternity this
side the Atlantic. Of course we all know of
the escapade of Sullivan and his boon compar-
ions and its serious results The occurrence
cannot fail to have great influence toward
making pugillsm less popular than it is. Re-
Gently that branch of sport has been rapidly on
the wane, the chief cause being the public con-
due. of those who were making lots of money
in it. The downward course was accelerated
by the stand taken by the Mississippi authorl-
ties regarding the SUlliVan-Kilra fight and
now the disgraceful conduct of Sullivan and
his disreputable following has given the sport
another blow. 1t seems to me to
be as sure sur. as we E live that pqgil-
days and undoubtedly this is blessing. Take
the pugilsts and so-called pugilists of today as
a whole and one Of the most disreputable
classes of men in America will be found. There
are bright exceptions, but these exceptions
prove the rule. Society would certainly be
much the better minus the army of pugilists
that now stock the country. The California
Club is probably doing all it can do toward
putting the sport on a respectable basis and it
is pleasing to note that that club has succeeded
well SO far. But that is only one club and its
influence cannot guide the entire country.
However. the club is a step in the right direc-
tion, because, as it succeeds, exhibitions of is-
tic science will be taking questionable places
where fraud is often the object TO place where
honest gentlemen and rigid regulations keep
everything right. 1t would be better if not a
battle or contest were allowed, except in a
place such as the California Club. Speaking
of the club reminds me that there is a proba-
bility of the proposed fight between Meyer and
JimiDy Carroll not taking place. The former
has TO some extent weakened and l
confess that l am not surprised at that
When he and McAuliffe had their very profit
able affair some time ago expressed my views
about Meyer at length. have found no rea-
son since then TO change them, but am more
than ever convinced that he is not the fstic ex-
pert many people believe him to be. am fully
convinced that he is not inclined to meet Car
roll, chiefly because the latter is too good
man. This fact combined with the other fact
that every encounter at the California Club has
to be on its merits has had deal of influence
on the mind of Mr.. Meyer. However, it is
likely that Carroll will find an opponent in
Jack McAuliffe. These two lightweights
should make lively encounter, and should
they desire to meet the club will undoubtedly
offer q very handsome purse.

THEY WERE PAID YESTERDAY,
But the Question of the Pay Time In Car
negIe's IL Not Settled.

negie's Is Not Settled
The men employed in Carnegie, Phipps &
Co.'S Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third street
mills were paid yesterday on the old system.
Notices were posted throughout the premises
that the pay would be given yesterday, and
some of the men conjectured from this fact
the firm had abandoned its position on the
proposed change. This is not so. as a con-
ference between the firm and executive of
Amalgamated Association to decide upon
the question has been arranged for.
AS already pointed out, there is not any
matter of principle involved. 1t is, on the
part of the firm, matter of detail in the
conduct of their business, and from the
point of the men, a matter of convenience.

HE'S AFTER BIG GAME

THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND $1,000
Some Interesting Facts About Billy MYer,
Of Streator.
GOOD RACING AT NASHVILLE TRACK

General Sporting.


Braddock, declares be is ready to fight Cal
Mccarthy for the championship and 81, 500
a side. Meyers hackers state their man is
ready to meet Carroll. Hon. W. l.. Scott's
winnings with his 2-year.old runners were
above S100, 900 for the season. There was
good racing at Nashville.
There is probability of battle between
Joe Ridge, of Braddock, and Cal Nc
Carthy, the champion featherweight, for
81, 500 side. Ridge was in the city yes
terday afternoon looking for friend to go
on at once and make the match. What the
intentions of the Braddock pugilist are can
best be stated in his own words. Yesterday
afternoon he said to the writer:
II have about six months rest from pugilistic
encounters of any kind and was never in
better trim in my life. 1 have desire to meet
Mccarthy for the featherweight championship,
and some friends OF mine are willing to put up
81, 500 for me to fight him. I am willing to fight
Mccarthy with bare knuckles, prize ring rules
TO govern.
CAL A GOOD MAN.
"Of course am aware that he Is good man
in his class, but 1 think can hold my own
my hackers and myself have talked the matter
over and we have come to the conclusion that
have just mentioned. wish to fight Mccarthy
at 1l6 pounds"
Ridge could not see his friend, who is a we'll
known sporting man, and he, Ridge, returned
home, intending to come back to the city on
Wednesday.
A friend of Mccarthy, residing in this city,
was told of Ridges intention, and he said:
well, Ridge or his hackers need not 60 to
New York to make the match, because 1 will
put up money for Mccarthy here. Ridge is
probably a good man under prize ring rules,
and know Mccarthy is
GAME AND CLEVER
little fellow. The pair might make good
contest at 1l6 pounds each. However, know
that McCarthy,s hackers are willing to match
him against anybody his weight"
Ridge appears TO be very earnest in the mat
ter, and has remarkable confidence in his abil-
ity to hold his own against the champion. The
former relies very much on his wrestling DOW
ers, and thinks that under prize ring rules he
will have considerably the best of Mccarthy as
far as wrestling is concerned. The matter
will be definitely settled in a few days. At
present the to-be or not-to-be of the encounter
depends on Ridge At present he refuses to
say where his hackers want the fight TO take
place.

authorize its club members to enforce the
options conferred by contract upon the services
of reserved players. 1t is the earnest wish of
every officer of the New York ball club that
the very pleasant relations now existing be-
tween club and players may continue and the
club will heartily join its players in an effort to
heal the breach now existing between the

yiction that such effort will result success

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, November 2.-There was a
meeting of baseball men in this city to-
day to take some action with regard to the
fight which the League players are making
against the managers. Several long opin-
ions were submitted by prominent lawyers
which went to show that the players could
be held under the present reservation.
In the opinion of Evarts, Choate & Bea-
man. they say: You have asked us what
remedies the club should take in case the
players should undertake to break their
contract for the season of 1890. 1t might
ask the Court for an injunction and we should
expect the Court would enjoin them from play
ing elsewhere. Or it could proceed against
them by
A SUIT FOB DAMAGES,
and recover such damages as should be sus-
tanned. We would also suggest whether or
not the club would not have the night to re-
cover damages from outside parties whe,
knowing of the contract between the club and
the players, had co-operated with the players
to organize other clubs, aud az q result caused
the players to break their contracts with the
New York club.
THE principles of law which, in. our opin-
ion, should govern the courts in deciding the
rights of the parties under this contract are the
same an those that have been applied by the
courts in determination and obligations of
actors under their contracts with managers of
theaters for a baseball club stands in the same
relation to baseball players employed by it that
the manager of a theater stands to the actors
employed by him, and there are many cases, as
you may know, in our New York courts where
actors and actresses, while under contract with
one manager, have been
ENJOINED FROM PLAYING
elsewhere, and we think that the courts ought
to enjoin the ball players from playing with
any club except the New York club"
J.CF F. Blackhurst says: II have, therefore,
no hesitation in saying that the contract under
discussion is, first valid and subsisting con-
tract for personal services of the party of the
second part as baseball player for the season
next ensuing"
George F. Duysters says; II would say that
in my opinion special action on the case will
lie against any person who may assist abet, or
entice the players to break their contracts with
the New York club having notice of such re-
serve, or may harbor them after receiving such
notice."

parole Samuel Fish, convicted in the Sulli-
van county Circuit Court of criminal as
sault, and sent to the penitentiary with
three other young men implicated in the
