Two Men for BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK, Oct 29-[Special. ]-Presi-
dent Byrne, of the Brooklyn club, yesterday
signed Dan Brouthers and joyce, both of
last seasons Boston Association team.
Neither found any fault with terms offered.
In the case of BroEthers there is proviso
that he Will join the Brookly*s if he can
secure his release from the Boston League
club, which claim to have him on its reserve
list as made out prior to the war with the
Players League. There is little doubt that
he can get the release he seeks, as Tom
Tucker more than pleases the triumvirs on
first base.

Jim Corbett telegraphs from Harrisburg,
Pa, that he accepts the challenge of Peter
Maher to fight for a purse of S., 600, and to
bind which Maher's backer, Billy Madden,
deposited 1000.
Corbett added that his manager, Mr..
Brady, would give formal acceptance of
the challenge.
At midnight Mr.. Brady telephoned that
he had got a telegram from Corbett to this
effect: He has deposited 81, 900 to bind
fight with Charley Mitchell or Slsvin, and
those are the men he is anxious to meet. If
this money is not covered by December 10
he will fight Maher before the athletic club

Mitchell and Slavin are first entitled to his
(Corbett's) attention.

Tommy offered no objection, and the

quickly armed himself with wooden

''Oh, no." said Tommy, ''the reserva-

northeast corner Of the barn where it
was colder than Siberia and made him
sit down on the bottom Of a bucket

So little Tommy went into the barn
and got two blankets, fine large one
for himself, and thin one, full of holes
for the poor Injun. Young Man-Not-

distribution; and he wound up with q
loud war-whoop and the announcement
that the attack on tire agency was about
to begin. But when he would have
arisen to execute vengeance, he discov-
