Outlook for the CIevelands.
Patsey Tebeau says OF the Cleveland club for
1898: 1--WE have secured three corners in Schel-
herman Of last years Buffalo team and Williams
and Hastings of the Canton {Ohio) team. They
are trio of youngsters who come to us highly
recommended and from all can hear Of them
they are good ones. We have secured a rafting
good catcher in Boyd. who caught Schellerman
for Buffalo. With Boyd, thinner and o. Conner
we will not be wanting In the cxtcher's depart
ment." He adds that there will be no changes
in the outfield and that Mexican will be found at
short range again.
Pittaburg After Deuny Lyons.
President Buckenberger of the Pittsburgs
has sent request to President Young that
Denny Lyons. who with the Giants last
season, be placed on the Pittsburg list. 1t is
hardly likely that Lyons will be called on to
play third base. though he may be. Last sea-
son Lyons was all out of form. He injured his
side badly early in the play and never got fully
down to condition. After leaving the Giants
Washington wanted him to fnish the season
with that team, but he refused. saving that he
wanted to get himself in trim for 1888 He is
said to be doing well now and expecte to pick
up his old-time skill in batting.
Chicago Wants an International Regatta.
At recent meeting Of the Chicago Navy the
constitution was changed so that the annual
election took place on the second Tuesday in
January instead Of the second Tuesday in
March as heretofore. The new officers will
take steps at once to have an international re-
gatta held in Chicago or its vicinity during the
coming summer. The idea is to combine the
seNcIdl hssocldtiOIs VI the CHlteu INTO
one great association. Invitations have already
been sent to the clubs of all the leading colleges
both i'll the United States and Great Britain
and Ireland, to attend an international regatta.
Overtures have already been made by Geneva
lake and Oconomowoc people to have the re-
gatta held there. and one Of those places will
probably be selected.
Sunday Prize Fight.
A fight FOR purse took place between Danny
Ryan Of Phiadeiphia and Samuel jackson Of
Gloucester in the parlor Of road house near
New York yesterday afternoon. Only twenty
two persons were present. No admission was
charged. the affair being an invitation one got
ten up to furnish some odd and select sport"
The invitations were limited to twenty and the
purse was subscribed among the spectators,
who were in almost every instance well-to-do
lawyers, bankers and theatrical people. The
gentleman who arranged the unique affair is
known to the general public as a manager Of
amusements and may be guessed at by the mere
mention Of his flowing whiskers. The
fighters were naked TO the waist. and seemed
well trained. Ryan had things practically his
own way and literally made a chopping block
out OF Jackson. swing on Jackson's jaw in
the sixth put him to ''sleep."
The winner got $500 for his victory and Jack
son received S35 as balm for his whipping.
After the fight a supper served, in which
both boxers participated.
