FARRELrs VERSION OF IT.
The Pittsburger Claims He Was Robbed of
His Fight With DAILY.

The Pittsburger Claims He Was Robbed of
His Fight With DAILY.
Pat Farrell, the local pugilist, and E. C. Nc
Clelland, the pedestrian, returned from Phla-
delphia yesterday morning, and the former had
much to say regarding his recent glove contest
with Jim DAILY. Pats version of the affair is
quite different from almost all the accounts
sent out from Philadelphia. During CONVEX
sation with the writer, he said:
THE QUAKER City Athletic Club is fraud
and a swindle. and when 1 say that it is COM
posed of such characters as Arthur Chambers
and Alf Lunt, you will see what say is correct.
Professional gamblers run it. and it is impos-
sible for stranger to get square deal In it If
these gamblers interests are to suffer. They
robbed me and they know it. and SO does every
fair minded man who saw the contest between
myself and DAILY. They had the selling of
tickets, and of course had all their own friends
there.
best of it from start to finish. 1 really could
have knocked DAILY ont of the ring in the first
round had l desired to act a little unfairly. He
would not come out OF his own corner and
Fogarty urged me 20 go IN and knock him out.
In the third round 1 started to do SO, and kept
him in his corner. He was getting SO much the
worst of it that Billy Madden rushed into the
ring, and then Alf Lunt came and got in be-
tween us. Two private detectives then
mounted the stage and stopped the fight. As
sure l live l could have finished DAILY
That's the reason they stopped us. Why, DAILY
only hit me once and every newspaper repre-
sentative present was squared against me but
one The truth is that before the fight Miller,
the secretary of the club told me that he had
squared all the papers but one. The latter
gave truthful report of the contest and its
account appears in THE DISPATCH. Let me
say that the Quaker City Club is disgrace to
sport. The articles of agreement between
Daily and myself called for ten rounds, but as
soon as l arrived in Philadelphia and the club
gang saw l was in good condition, they re-
duced the number of rounds 10 six. They were
afraid would knock him out in ten rounds
and it is a certainty that would have knocked
him easily in six rounds. If he had not been
getting the worst of it they would not have
stopped the fight That is certain.
And after the fight was stopped the club
managers, who are Dalys party, retired for an
hour and a half and decided to make the affair
draw. i am ready at any time to fight a
man like DAILY, either for purse or stake or
both"
McCleland stated that DAILY was completely
outfought from start to finish.
1t has often been asked in this paper why
such alleged clubs as the Quaker City Club
should be allowed to operate They are organi
cations of the most questionable kind, their
only object being to secure money by the most
questionable dstIc contests. The "club" gave
Farrell and DAILY something like $500 between
them, which means that the bulk of the money
went to those professional schemers who live
mostly by hoodwinking the public.

Of both clubs to make good showing, which
they did by a glance at the scores of both
games. Ranlon captained the first team, Bier

Good, clean fielding and base hits at the
proper time, which we're productive of runs,
tolls the story of the first game Baldwin and
Berger occupied the points for Bauers nine,
while Maui and Fields did the work for
Hanlon's team. The principal features of the
game were Berger's excellent catching and
throwing to bases; Beckley's terrific drive to
the center fence for a home run, and Baldwin's
line shot to the left field fence for three bases
when the bases were full; heavy hitting in the
second inning; two fielding errors. A base on
balls gave Bauer's men six runs and the game.

CINCINNATI, April 11.-There was a dis
tinguished little assembly of baseball mag
mates active and retired and constituency
of the Ewings and KeIlys of the bar in
Judge Ma1well's room this morning. Al
johnson was there-So was his attorney,
also from Cleveland-L A. Russell, J.
Palmer O'Neil, of the Pittsburg League
club, with his legal aid, Thomas B. Paxton;
President Louis Kramer, of the American
Association, and Lowerv jackson completed
the little party. Mr.. jackson represented
c. A. Prince, J. Earle Wagner and other
ex-backers of the Brotherhood, who have
secured temporary injunction preventing
the payment of the draft which the National
League gave to AL johnson for his interests in
the Cincinnati club.
This was the cause up for hearing. Mr.
jackson briefly recounted the troublesome his
tory of the game in Porkopolis since the dark
day of October 4, 1890
II have sixteen witnesses to prove that the
Boston and Philadelph parties turned over to
me all their holdings in the Cincinnati club,
aud NJ. J. Kelly is one of them. declared Mr..
johnson, termed 1.-THE Brotherhood Orphan"
Il had been shamefully deserted by my asso-
ciateS, who had legally bound themselves to
continue in business with me. l had been ex-
PEELED from the League, and there was with
two clubs on my hands and no association to
play in"
L. A. Russell, speaking for Mr.. johnson,
asked for the dismissal of the WagnerIal
prayer, aud submitted a deposition in answer
TO the plea of the Eastern plaintiffs to which
Frank II. Brunell subscribed. There we're no
sensational disclosures a presentation of any
new evidence of material value. Z. A. Prince
and J. E. Wagner sent on depositIons which
were read by Mr.. Jackson. These plaintiffs
avowed that they had turned over their in
terests here 20 Mr.. johnson. but with the un-
derstanding that he was to continue in the
American Association. Having failed TO do
that. they claimed the transfer imperative.
Judge Maxwell after hearing arguments
took the case under advisement- Later in
formation is TO the effect that the decision will
be rendered next Tuesday.

BEGINNING TO HUSTLE.

Down to Work for the Season.
The membership of the Allegheny Athletic
Association reached the 200 mark yesterday,
and the club directors are now confident of
great success, financial and otherwise. Tho
club badges were received yesterday, and they
are very pretty.
The Baseball Committee met yesterday morn
ing and discussed matters relating to the pro-
posed team. 1t is intended to organize team
to compete in the A A. U. Championship
games. There are numerous amateur players
i'll and about Pittsburg. and with little hust-
ling really strong team could probably be
gotten together.
Numerous applications have been received
from ladies who wish to join the tennis cluD in
connection with the Association. The directors
of the latter intend to boom tennis for all
it is worth, and work on the tennis courts will
likely be commenced this week.
The ground committee have been authorized
to expend $500 or tennis courts, lockers ETC.
The membership fee will be increased to $40
exclusive of dues when $50 mem bers have been
enrolled. Without doubt the association in
tend to be up and doing, although the members
may have been a little slow in getting down to
work. The organization is one with which all
young men who take pleasure in outdoor
exercise may safely and wisely identify them
selves.

Some Very Plain Advice.

The Won der Abe outrage upon Mark Bald
win has been thrown out of court Now. II
the Pittsburg club officials do not back Baldwin
in making Won der Abe pay for his little piece
of fun, they do not deserve the patronage OF
Pittsburg people. And we beg leave to suggest
that the United States Court is the proper
place for an action of that kind. The sporting
Times does not approve of Baldwiu's methods,
but the attempt to disgrace him and his club
by dragging him into the criminal courts was
a thrust at the life of the national game and
should be punished if there be law to punish
false arrest and imprisonment. We say TINS
without reference to its application. Won der
Abe is no better and no worse in such rolo
than any other baseball magnate, be he League
or Association offcial-Sportt3l0 Times.

to Wrestle at Catch Weight.
Ed. Reilly and Reuben Collenge. accom-
panied by their hackers and friends, met at
this Office last evening and after lengthy talk
the two hrst-named signed articles to wrestle
another match on Monday, May 4. This time
they are to wrestle at catch weight
At one stage of the proceedings it looked as
if no match would be made. The Collenge
party wanted to wrestle within three weeks for
$500 side, and the Reilly we're not inclined TO
sign for that amount except the match take
place in ten weeks. Reilly's representative
further stated that a gentleman wishful to
back Reilly had not been heard FROM but that
if the match was made for $3.50 a side this
gentleman would certainly make an outside
bet of $3.50. As q guarantee of this Reilly's
representative bet Collenge's hacker $40 that
the bet would be made within two weeks.
After this assurance the articles were signed
for the men to wrestle the best two in three
falls for $3.50 side, the winner to take all the
gate receipts The contest will be governed by
the Police Gazette rules which provide for
the continuation of the contest until it is fin-
fshed. The match bids fair to be an interest
ing one. as the conditions are materially differ
ent to the conditions of the late contest.
