MCAFFREY IN TOWN.
The WELL Known PugIlist States His Opinion
of james Corbett.

Dominick McCafrey, the well-known pugilist,
is in the city visit to his parents His mother
is seriously Ill at the family residence on Small
man street, and Dominlck was telegraphed for to
come home at once. She was much improved yes
terday, however.
Dominick hadn't much to say about pugilistic
affairs yesterday He has permanently retired
from the business, and expects to do well in
another and nobler line of life. During q
versation with the writer regarding his encounter
with J. j. Corbett, Dominick said: II make no
excuses. Corbett is a better boxer than am
simply because he has such tremendous physical
advantages. He is inches taller and about 80
pounds heayier. know as much as he does about
boxing, but cannot get near enough to him be-
cause of his superior reach. He is big. athletic
young fellow and as active as anybody. He is Of
the Ned U'Baldwin type 10 give you an idea of his
superiority Of reach over me he can stand and
place one glove between my eyes and blind me
and keeping striking away with the other. OF
course hit him very often in our contest but
could not get close enough to do any good He is
80 first man who has beaten me in boxing and
always said that as soon as was bested in boxing
1 would retire.
al think Corbett will make good fighter, but
wouldn't like to be too of Ii until he is tried.
am inclined to think that he is a game man and
anybody who goes against him will meet tartar.
Jackson is man of his build and may be Corbett's
superior. l would not be surprised to see Jack
son defeat Sullivan if they meet"
McCaffrey will probably remain in the city until
Saturday,

by a score of IA to in a contest that was far
superior to that of the opening day.
IT WAS NOISY
throughout and abounded in hits such as a
crowd might enthuse over on a warm day. The
weather was almost as frgid as on Monday,
and but for bit of sunshine that failed to pene-
trate the icy atmosphere to any appreciable ex-
tent the spectators would hsve applauded
as shiveringly. Galvin's arms refused to
timber up, and even his attempt to grow
heated during a dispute with Ryan failed
20 bring on the desired warmth. Beckley, Wis
ner and Kuehne only, of the Pittsburgs could
solve the well-delivered curves of young
Dwyer, and the college student lowered feet
above his veteran companion in the box. The
White Stockings were 'in it" at once with three
runs secured after deal of playing. Latham.
Ryan and Darling were given bases on balls
the former being run out between first and Sec
ond. Duffy scored on wild throws by Carroll
and Corcoran. while Ryan and Comiskey came
home on the latter's steal and a wild pitch.
Darling was nipped at the plate.
WON IN THE SECOND.
The game was already On in the second. in
which the Chicagos added a well-modulated
quartette. Bastian opened with a two-base hit,
followed by Dwyers single. Latham's sacrifice
scored the shortstop, and Duffy stepped
Ryan pushed the sphere almost to the left
fence for three rousing bases. The blonde
fielder rrotting in on O'Nells single. Only one
man was out, but the fun was soon spoiled by
Carroll who accomplished a double play unas-
sisted in touching O'Neil and Comiskey near
second. DwyeT and Latham scored in the third
on singles by the latter and Bastian and Duffy's
swipe for three stations. ONeil's base on balls
resulted in a tally in the next with the assist
ance of his Captain and Farrell. Only Dwyer
and Duffy scored in the fifth. but they sprinted
4l,ar fho
breath from the / 500 spectators. 1t was Duffy's
smash on the juggler that sent the hapless ball
within ten feet of the carriage line. 1t was
A CLEAN HOME RUN
with the ball never out OF sight. The two last
runs were made in the eighth with base on
balls for O'Neil and wild throws in succession
by Corcoran and Carroll that ade Latham

up by Corcoran in the second on clean hit,
Robinson's base on balls and Hanlon's sacrifice
Nlsner's pretty three OaSer past Ryan in the
fourth, together with Robinsons base on balls
and throw over Comiskey's head by Dwver
and Bastan's tumble added two. Beckley
scored in the second on double hits by himself
eted another brace of counters through Fields
and Robinson on passed ball, gratis bases to
the latter and Calvin and Hanlon's single. In
the other inning the Pittsburgs had only one
chance when in the finish, with two men out
Carroll secured lead on Latham's overthrow
to first. and Beckley sent txo-base screamer
along the right foul line. But both expired on
the bags when Fields struck out Tener and
