THE RIVAL CLUBS.
An Interesting Conflict Between the New
Orleans Sporting Organizations.

An Interesting Conflict Between the New
Orleans Sporting Organizations.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. A.-[SpeciaL lit is war
to the knife between the Olympics and the
Metropolitans. The clubs kept at arms
length and upon tolerable terms until very
recently. The opening of hostilities dates
from the departure of Captain Williams
upon a search for pugilists for the Olympics.
One of the matches he had in sight was
meeting between Hall and Fitzsimmons at
15s pounds. From Chicvgo the Captain re-
ported that the outlook was promising and
that Hall would doubtless accept the chance
to meet the New Zealander for $1,000 purse.
The Olympics charge that the moment the
Nets heard of the proposed match they
interfered and offered $1,000 purse, which
was more than the fight was worth, and
naturally debarred the Olympics from bid
ing. Fitzsimmons is with the Olympics Club.
as is the entire party in Charge of Jimmy
Carroll, and besides that he did not relish
the favoritism the Nets showed Hall and
the clubs attempt to aid Hall in forcing him
into a fight at catch weights. That was one
of the reasons which induced Fitzsimmons
to consent to fight Maher, the Irish heavy
weight champion. The Olympics have
fixed the match for March q the same night
the Metropolitans propose to have the Ryan
Needham fight, and the price of admission
will be made the same, the Olympics eX-
pectlnT TO capture the prlco-nS1tln% puDllc
thereby. The Olympics only partially ad-
init the above and say that thev desire to
get the benefit of the large number of
visitors who will be heYe for Mardi Gras.
The night following the carnival is the only
possible date upon which the fight can be
held with that eud in view, so that there
will have to be two shows in one night
Fitzsimmons is in tolerable shape now and
will go into training at once. Andy Bowen
says he will leave here the Goth to accept
the challenge to box Jimmy Murphy at
Chicago.

JAY-EYE-SEE has taken to pacing. and
already shows pure, fast gait. He will be

BILLY TAYLOR, the pedestrian, who was the
winner of the walking match at the centen-
NAL celebration in Philadelphia in 1876. died
in Atlantic City, N. j., late Thursday night.
THE absence of the names of Tenny, Tour
nament and Longstreet from the Morris

of that course on the horses named was con-
sidered as inimical to their entire safety
over that arduous Matterhorn hill.

Eastern Authorities Said to Be Timid
of the 12-Club League.
NEW YORK, Jan. s4.-[SpeciU. before many
weeks elapse the various clubs of the new
baseball leagues will have completed their
plans for the preliminary season and the
players will be called from their homes to
join their respective teams. Some of the
clubs have already mapped out course for
a preliminary campaign on the diamond
and others will content themselves with
indoor practice AS the regular champion
ship season will open unusually early this
year. there will be less opportunity for
exhibition games and many of those already
agreed upon will have to be cancelled.
Before the ubLeague WAS formed some
of the magnates built castles in the air.
They calculated that all that was necessary
to harmony and the restoration of the game
League and the Association. Since then
some of them have begun to realize that the
]2-club League is gigantic white elephant.
When the schedule is presented this will be
more apparent than usual.
The National League members are also
convinced that Won der Abe, Van der Horst
and the Wagners stole a march on them.
This is not a pleasing pill to.swallow and
those who have been worsted in the deal
with the Association are now more willing
to grin and bear it thanto acknowledge that
they have been worsted in the consolida-
ton.
The dissatis faction is more general than
most patrons imagine. 1t has already mani
Tested itself in many ways, and before the
season opens the New Yorks, ,Brooklyns Phil
adelphiaS and ChicagOS are likely to more
openly display their dissatis faction over the

has given up all hopes of getting the Dig
fighters to engage in real battle ne says
there is only one plan-namely, 70 Set t"o "
them on a train with gang OF COWBOYS 70
carry them off to some secluded rendezvous
and force them to fight at the pistols point.
AMONG the bowling rules proposed is one
that will incorporate the idea OF a Oowlers
box. The plan is to chalk a Dox rom sne
foul line 10 feet in length, ana III all matcnes
bOwlers will be confined to the space wltnln
the box, and others prohibited from crossing
it, or in any way from interfering WIFI MIN.
CHINESE quail make good fighters and they
are imported by the sport-loy1ng MongoiIa1n,s, ~,

and "handled" by regular trainers. Inc
fights are quick and decisive. as the birds
are heeled with needle pointed gaffs ana go

affair made of tin and only about 10 lncnes

IT is comical to contemplate the noncnal. ma.
ance with which the pugtlists OF to-day
scorn 5000 and 5000 purses. Less tnan
three years ago jackson, Joe McAuIlne,
Godfrey, Choynski, and all the Dig ones
fought for less than that sum. Jem Mace;

DIAGNOSIS OF A BUNION.
How It Differs From = Corn and VIZ the
Best Treatment Is.

How It Differs From . Corn and VIZ the
Best Treatment Is.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.l
A bunion consists in swelling under
the skin of the inner side of the ball of the
great toe. In it's earlier stage it is thin
walled sac filled with clear fluid, and then
causes very little uneasness, but subse-
quently, in consequence of constant pres
sure and friction from badly fitting boots
and stockings, becomes hard and tender.
Sometimes. particularly after active e1er-
else, the swelling becomes painful and in
famed, and forms an abscess. The begin
ming and growth of bunion is caused, in
most instances, by distortion of the great
toe, and is much accelerated by the use of
tight boots and by much walking.
When the bunIon is young, firm pressure
with the fingers, or sharp tap with
heavy object may cause it to burst and
bring about a cure. In cases where the
swelling has existed for some time, and be-
comes hard and painful, very little can be
done except to recommend boots made large
and roomy over the toes, and with the sole
thicker at the outer than at the inner edge,
so that the foot in walking may be thrown
more upon the outer side. When the bum
ion becomes very tender, and the skin COW
ering it red and infamed. the treatment
should be immediate, and consists in rest,
and the application of one or two leeches
and warm flaxseed poultices

That the officials of the local club mean
to leave no stone unturned in their efforts
to have everything in the best possible
condition is certainty. They have re-
solved to devote all the attention possible
to the outfeld at Exposition Park, and,
with a view of making it frst-class, they
ere negotiating with a gentleman in Chi
cago to visit here and assist GrouEd-Keeper
Hebrank in laying out the ground.
The Chicago gentleman has had consider
able experience in laying out baseball
grounds, and is looked upon as one of the
best in the country. He laid out the Chi
cago and Detroit grounds, and there are no
better outfelds in the world than those two.
A letter was received from the gentleman
on Saturday, and it is likely that he will be
engaged this week.
His engagement will in no way be slight
on Mr.. Hebrank, as the former will come
here simply to give the latter the benefit of
his experience, and when the grounds are
finished he will return to Chicago.
Everybody who has been in Exposition
Park must know that the outfeld is one of
the worst in the country. 1t is costly for
both home and visiting teams alike and ex-
ceedingly unfair to the felders Nothing
will give greater satisfaction to the players
and the baseball public than the improve

three persons and are protected by ranch
men on this side of the river who are un-
doubtedly in sympathy with Cara. The
United States forces will do nothing until
spring when the grass comes up, as it is
impossible to carry forage through the

country is as bare as a billiard table.
1t is learned here that Cara has been ex-
actly located by the United States troops.

PROBLEM OF ST. PETERS LAKE.
How the Old Fellow Managed to Save Those
of His Own Faith.

Pearson's Weekly.1
One of the most ancient of all traditions
is that which is known as "St Peters
Lake" 1t is a version of yet older Scan
dinavian mathematical problem, which is to
be found in most old Scandinavian Runic
almanacks, or time measurements and dates
from period prior to Christianity. The
tradition has been turned to good account
by the old monks. The story goes that st.
Peter and party of early Christians were
on a voyage to some new mission station,
when they were overtaken by severe
storm, and it was found necessary to Tighten
the ship by throwing overheard half of the
passengers.
1t was, therefore, determined that every
ninth man should be thrown out. There
were 80 passengers in all. Is Christians and
Is Jews; and it was said that st. Peter was
inspired to so place his fellow Christians
that the count of ninth man always fell
upon Jew, he and the other IA Christians
being consequently saved. The following
is the Runic calculation as it stands, and by
striking out every ninth figure, the Is
crosses, which represent the Christians, will
be left:

The papers upon which the order was

leather valued at S1.O44 and allege false
representation regarding the financial con-
dition of the company. Mr.. Hatch says the
charges of fraud are unqualifedly false. He

About Sunday Games.

Henry Chadwick writing relative to the
schedule of ball games for the coming sea-
son, says: Not a single game of the League
schedule for 1892 will be scheduled for Sun
day. All clubs desirous of playing Sunday
games will be given the option to change
their regular schedule dates to Sunday, but
the schedule itself will be made out only for
weekday games. The League clubs which
will not play Sunday games this year are the
the East and the Chicago ana Cleveland in
the West. 1t is uncertain about BROOKLYN
in the East and Pittsburg in the West. of
course none of the Eastern clubs of the
East will play Sunday games at home, but
Brooklyn, Washington and Baltimore will
play them out West. At Cinsinnati the Law
and Order League is taking measures to
stop Sunday ball-playing there this summer,
but Sunday games will be special feature
at St. Louis and Louisville.

NEW York, Jan. A.-[Specidl.l 1.-The college
teams have been unusually active in ar
ranging spring games. Yale, Princeton.
Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania
and ether colleges have seized time by the
forelock and made dates with the New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and other League
and a number of Athletic teams. The
teams of the colleges will be constructed
largely of new material next season. Many
candidates are now at work in the cage at
Princeton, New Haven, Cambridge and
Philadelphia. Those who show the greatest
aptitude will be selected to uphold the
honors of these institutions.
Among the collegiates the question OF the
possibilities Of a triangular battle between
the teams of Yale, Harvard and Princeton is
being agitated again. The chances are
better now than they have been for SCI veral
seasons. and unless something arises that is
not ca lculated on at present the differences
that have prevented these three colleges
from competing will be overcome. The
teams will be on a more equal footing this
year than for several seasons past, on ac-
count OF the graduation of large number
of the crack players.
