They Make Matters Again Lively at q Bus
mess Meeting of the Club.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 4-There was another
bright and breezy meeting of the stock
holders of the Olympic Club last night The
report of the committee of Is was read by
Chairman Hughes 1t was simply q recital
of the charges of which publication has al
ready been made.
After the report had been presented Pres
ident Noel entered and made statement
He expressed his entire willingness to have
the accounts ofthe club scrutinized carefully
and promised to give every assistance to the
examiners. In reference to the charge that
the officers had failed in their duty in rot
sending out prior to the recent fights q
statement of the financial condition Of the
organization, Mr.. Noel said that had the
statement been made when it was due the
world would have known the club was not
in financial condition to pay the promised
purses and complications ana its failure
would have resulted. AS the matter was,
the club had withheld the statement and
made the fight a success and had paid Off all
obligations, and now had a cash account of
$4,000 to its credit.
Mr.. Noel was asked innumerable ques-
tlons by some of the kickers. To those
which he did not answer he said that replies
would be made as soon as the accounts could
be examined. motion to appoint an ex-
pert to examine the books of the club failed
to pass. 1t looks as if the officers will win
the fight, though it is reported that the
stockholders are transferring their stock to
outsiders for the purpose of getting more
votes when the matter is put to vote.

CLAIMS THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Jimmy Carroll Says That Griffin Should
Have the Feather Weight Title,

Have the Feather Weight Title.
NEW YORK, Oct 4-The question as to
whether John T. Griffin, who recently van
quished Jimmy Lynch, and George Dixon,
the colored phenomenon, will be matched
to fight for the feather-weight champion
ship is attracting considerable attention
from devotees of pugilism. From present
indications a matter of q few pounds keeps
the men apart. Dixon is at his best at lis
pounds, while Griffin does his best execution
at l22 pounds. Jimmy Carroll has announced
Griffin's willingness to split the difference
and fight at 100 pounds, but this does not ap.
pear to satisfy the other men.
There Is no doubt that Dixon would pre-
fer to delay a battle for some months in
order to reap the full financial benefit of
his New Orleans victory, and, under the cir
cumstanceS, the prospects for u match are
not very flattertng.
Jimmy Carroll, Griffin's manager, called ut
the sun Office tonight and saidi 'I claim
that John T.. Griffin is to-day the feather
weight champion of America, and he stands
ready to defend the title against all comers;
also, he will not keep them waiting till next
June for a battle"
''On what grounds do you claim the cham
pionship for Griffin2" he was asked
Have l not as much right to claim 122
pounds as the limit for feather weight con-
tests as O'Rourke has to insist on lis pounds
The Marquis OF Queensberry rules are for
amateurs only. never fought under them.
and neither has Griffin. There is no scale of
weight for professionals outside of Blanch-
ards fair play rules. To win the champion
ship of country it is necessary TO defeat
the champion of that country. If johnson
was champion of England, then Dixon by
defeating the Englishman, became cham
pion of that country. Griffin has met nearly
all the feather-weights OF this country and
mono of them have stayed with him more
than ten rounds when it was finish con-
test. Therefore claim the championship
for Griffin. Dixon never won the feather
weight championship of this country, and,
therefore, has no right to claim it."

WHAT THE MAGNATES DID.
Want More Time to Pay Their Debts and
viii Shorten the Season.


New YORK. Oct 4-[SpeciaL 1.-The baseball
magnates had busy time to-day. They
met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel at noon. an d
with the exception of short recess at 2:sO
O'Clock and again att o'clock they labored
diligently until late into the night. In u
nutshell, they decided 20 ask for more
time in which to pay their indebtedness, out
down the playing season to l32 games, cov-
ering period OF six months, and to con-
the hope that next season would be better
than the one jus: past. The various clubs
were represented as follows:
IN. New proo YORK, John 2, B Day and !; W. spald-
Boston, A. II. Soden and W. H. Conant;
PHILADELPHIA, A. J.: Reach and John L
Rogers: Washington. F. E. Elliott: Pittsburg
Chicago, j. A. Hart; Louisville, G. A. Drex-
ler; st. Louis, C. Won der Abe: Cincinnati. J.

President n. E. Young was in the chair.
Debts of the League.
The first matter that came up for discus
sion was the indebtedness of the Leapuo
At the time OF the indianapolis conference
the buying out OF Association clubs resulted
in debt of $l39, 900. Notes were given for
the amonnt, $1,000 of the total amount to be
paid this season and $50, ,OO0 next. or the
$1,000 due this season all but $50 900 has been
paid, aud 1t was decided to ask for an exten.
sion of time tor the good reason that the
League is at present unable to pay.
In the discussion attending the considera-
tion of the debt it vas developed that S out
of u clubs drew more people in 1892 than
they did in 1891, but II out Of II clubs lost
money. which was held to show that the ex-
perses were out of all proportion to the re-
receipts, and also to indicate that salaries
and other expenses must come down.
Making the Season Shorter.
After disposing of these matters the maa-
mates took mp the playing season and de-
cided to cut it down to 132 games, but will
hold on to the double championship. The
proposition for Eastern and Western
leagues was not listened to, and as for going
back to a League and an American Associa.
ton the maSnates simply smiled at the sug.
gestion.
A. G. Spalding was present during the
meeting. referring TO the general situation
he said: baseball is not SO dead as MANY
people seem to think. Interest in the game
is all right, but the trouble is expenses are
80 high the club owners hardly know which
way to turn. think it would be very un-
wise to do anything but continue the ls-cIub
League. The season was too long, but aside
from shortening it, do not think any other
changes neces 'ary."
What Al Reach Has to Say.
"The trouble will be-" said A. J. Reach

managers. bringing the inside affairs OF the
