"!Sport" McAllister, who pitched
for the Waco of the Texas league
last year, is with Calvert this sea
son.
Jimmie Carroll has commenced
training for his "sure thing" with
Jack McAuliffe. Johnny Griffin is
training him.
Bat MastersOn, the well known
sport, is under arrest for having
aided in prize fight night before
last, in Denver, Col, in which one
of the fighters was killed.
Manager O'Rouke has decided to
accept the Columbia clubs offer
of $4,000 for go between his sabled-
hued crack Dixon and Sol Smith
at Roby, Ind, in September.
Jack McAuliffe writes to friends
in New York that, "if Jim Carney
wants to fight me, l will be ready
to crafty his desire as soon as he
can get some backing. Charley
Mitchell and myself will sail for
America together"
Captain McGill of the Southern
hotel is an enthusiastic baseball
admirer. The captain is about 20
years of age and never misses a
game. He understands the fine
points of the great game and is
proud of the American outdoor
sport.
EX-president Harrison and Mr..
Russell Harrison attended a ball
game at Cape May last week. They
were applauded when they entered
the grand stand. Benjamin Har-
risOn is thoroughly American. He
is a baseball crank and isn't
ashamed to be claimed as one.
Did it ever occur to you that the
umpire is always "agin" the
losing club? Well, he is. You
never heard winning team COM
plain of being robbed, but the
fellows who lose get it right where
the horse wears his collar. Truly
the umpire must be the enemy of
the clubs which are in hard luck.
Harry Newmeir has posted 800
to fight Lochie Thompson, the
newly arrived Scotch champion
lightweight for $1,000 a side and
"the largest purse" OF course,
that "largest purse" clause has to
figure. These 81, 600 side matches
are getting fatiguing, especially
when men of light calibre make
the blutfs.-TSporting News.
Short stop O'Rourke, of the Louis
villes, can only talk in husky tones,
on account of blow he received in
the throat some time ago from a
foul ball.-Sporting Life. This is
the same "Red" O'Rourke who
played in Texas in 'S9. Already at
that time he had no voice, and it is
impossible for him to coach. "Red"
is terrible kicker and the loss of
his voice is a good thing for the
umpire.
A New York dispatch states that
Peter Jackson, accompanied by
Ambrose Pierce, the English
jockey, arrived on the steamer
Teutonic, Wednesday from Eng
land. "ParsOn" Davies met the
two and took them to the hotel. |
The party took the train last night
for Chicago, where Jackson will
remain about two weeks, going
from there to Mount Clemens and
then to San Francisco, where he
will begin his engagement with
his Uncle Toms Cabin company in
December. Jackson has acquired
a decidedly cockney accent, so the
dispatch states, and says he does
not care where his fight with Cor
bett comes off, as long as there is
no danger of interference. He says
he wants to fight wherever there is
the biggest purse. The big black
was looking thin, which he as
cribes to the sea voyage.
Jack Dempsey will be in New
York this week. The Nonpa-
riel is looking so well that one
would think he is really doing
little training on the sly, but he is
not. 1t is simply the warm wealth
err we have had for the past week
which has brought color to his face.
He was in a communicative mood
the other day at Portland, Oregon,
and was delighted at the thought
of soon being able to speak to his
friends back east and all that. He
said: 81 know people have the idea
l have overturned myself and that
the work | have had in the past
has told uDon nv constitution. In
