already the jubilant followers of the
players are claiming that the League is
not in it. 1t would be interesting to
know Just how much paper went into
the Brotherhood grounds. The Leagues
opening attendance was fully up to
what 1t has been in previous years, and
it represents paid admissions. Look at

A pitcher that can give fourteen
bases on balls and have twelve hits

as Winkleman did on Saturday, deserves
considerable praise.
judging by the crowd at Saturdays

The much talkedof fight between
the Black Pearl and Isaac Murgen will
take place within the next twelve hours.
The men will leave the city about mid
night and the mill will occur some
time between that time and daylight
Both are in good condition and many
people expect rafting good fight
The Pearl Is the favorite in the betting
and has the advantage of having par
, ticipated in a number of ring fights,
while his opponent is comparatively a
novice. What he lacks in this respect,
however, he is said to make up in
gameness. and his hackers profess to
believe that he will give the Pearl the
hardest fight he has ever had, even IL
he does not win 1t. The fight will take
place on the Virginia side of the river,
short distance from this city. There
will undoubtedly be a large crowd
present and they should be amply re-
paid for their ,ronble.
