But to return 20 my first SUBJECT. Out
of the Is championships of the Nation
al league Boston and Chicago have
claimed 10 in equal division. The 9TH
er six have been won by the New York,
Providence, Detroit and Brooklyn
teams. New York made successive
wins" in 1883 and 1869. The Brook
lyns took the flag In 1890, Detroit Ia
1887 and Providence in 1879 and 1884.
The present Boston team has prac-
tlcaIly been playing its second season
with almost unbroken ranks. Quinn
is the missing member Of last years
team. Otherwise the composition OF
this seasons champion team is what 1t
vas last year. with Merritt and Cast
rift added to the battery department..
A brief sketch Of the members OF the
team will not be uninteresting In this
connection.
Nichols has been the clubs star pitch
err. DE won the nickname OF "Kid"
while in the Western league, where bis
youth, coupled with his great success,
earned for him that title. When Selee
came to Boston to manage the team, he
brought Nichols along, and the latter
has been the Boston's winning pitcher
ever since. he is strictly temperate,
takes good care OF his physical powers
and always has his clubs interest deep
ly 4 heart.
,Stivetts also went to Boston from the
West. He is one Of Comiskey's pupils,
and made his first great reputation as q
member of the St. Louis Browns. De
is a Young man Of fine physique and
shared with Ruse the honor until this
season OF being one OF the sWiftest
pitchers in the country. He has not
been so effective this season as last, and
was one of the four players who recent
" appeared on the ground at Clnein-
natl in q state OF intoXication. There
IL no doubt that Stivetts' indulgence In

Should Mitchell win his title to the
championship would be free and clear,
He would have only one possible rival.
Peter Jackson, and against the latter, II
he chose, he could draw the color line.
But should the victory fall on Corbett's
shoulders he must first vanQuish Jack
son before he can make good his claim
to the worlds championship. He cal-
not draw the color line. He has met
Jackson before, and on that occasion
Jackson proved himself fully as good,
il not a better man. He must again
meet, and II he wishes TO wear the title
OF champion of the world, vanquish him.

New YORK, October G. George Dix
on, of Boston, Is still feather weight
champion of the world. His meeting
with Solly Smith at the Coney Island
club was q surprise only to those who
had put faith in the claims OF Smith
and his friends. From the first the re-
suit was never for a moment In doubt,
and, while Smith hit hard, showed
some science and probably punished
Dixon more than other fighter has
ever done before, he was plainly and
easily outclsssed by the Boston lad.
Dixon's science was remarkable and he
was far and away the best general Of
the two His blows, also, were fully as
effective as those OF Smith, and he
found no difficulty in keeping away
from Smiths heavy swings. until in the
seventh round the TINA came to rush
matters and put on the finishing
touches. Now that he has finally and
effectually disposed Of Smiths preten-
sions TO championship honors, Dixon
seems anxious to effect the slight

season.
Staley, the third of Boston's last sea
sons trio OF pitchers, has been almost
complete failure this year. His work
in 1892 was excellent, and when the
Bostons secured his release from the
Plttsburgs he had made reputation

the opposing boxer can get away or re-
cover, he swings his right. Dempsey
never rushes. He likes TO have the
other man do that, for with his wonder
full reach he can jab the left, meeting
his opponent half way, and while pre-
venting the former from doing any
damage, administers punishments that
cost him little effort. 1t is singular fact
that Dempsey has won really all OF his
fights with very little exertion, simply
owing to the fact that he has q left
hand, the wonderful dexterty OF which
but two of his wary opponents have
ever been able TO overcome. Dempsey's
style is original, his mode effective, bis
Reneralship supreme, end without doubt
he is the greatest man Of his weight the
prize ring has ever seen. II he is hall
the man he was five years ago he should
defeat Burge with ease.
Billy Smith, to my thinking, has
mode q serious mistake in consenting to
enter a limited round bout with Billy
Mccarthy. By such = contest he has
everything to lose and nothing to gain,
for he is q welterweight who is at his
best in finish fighting with men OF his
weight, while Mccarthy Is a clever
mlddleweight who always sets hot
pace for an opponent. Should Smith In
going out Of his class score victory he
should credit it to good luck and not to
the forethought of his adverse. Stan
ton Abbott Is training at Oceanic, n.
j., for his battle with Andy Bowen
scheduled to tahe place before the Cres-
cent Club Of New Orleans next month.
A victory will be most welcome to Alb
bolt, for OF all the English lighters who
have visited US lately, he has Jared moro
poorly in a financial way. Negotiations
for another contest between Jack Nc
Auiffe and Jimmy Carroll drag arace.
There should be no trouble in coming
to an agreement, for both men profess
to be anxious to again try conclusions.

blemish on his record resulting from
his recent four round bout with Billy
PIimmer, OF England, the champion
bautum OF the world. After the fight
on Monday night Tom O'Rourke said he
would back Dixon 10 fight Plimmer at
III pounds for $4,000, to weigh in at
l O'Clock in the afternoon Of the day Of
the contest. Should this proposition be
declined O'Rourke added that he would
match an unknown 10 fight Plimmer
for S.. coo a side 1t 10 pounds, weigh
in al the ring side. Plimmer is so anX-
ious for a fight TO a finish with Dixon,
that I am inclined 10 think he will
promptly agree to the conditions
imposed by Dixon'S manager, and the
Coney Island Club would no doubt hang
up good big purse for such contest.
Plimmer's clever work since he came to
this country has won him host OF ad-
mirerS. lie can no longer find any
fighter Of his own class who Is willing
to meet him, and there are many clever
Judges, witnesses of his glove contest
with Dixon, who think that even If he
does not defeat the latter he will give
him the hardest fight OF his life. At
any rate contest between them will be
worth going a good ways to see 9ud il 1t
is not pulled off before the first the
year will put money into the till Of the
club having II in charge.
Charley Mitchell, after his arrival
here last week, lost no time in showing
that he meant business by putting his
signature to an agreement TO meet
Corbett before the Coney Island Club
the third week in December. Newton,
clubs matchmaker, had little difficulty
in persuading Mitchell that his organi-
zation was the only club prepared to
pull the contest off without interior
ence, aud at the same time pay a suita-
Bile price for the same. The articles OF
agreement call for q contest under
Marquis of Queensberry rules with five
ounce gloves, and the winner is TO receive
without reservation q purse Of $4,000.
This with the $4,000 already In the
hands OF Dave Blanchard, of Boston,
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1893-10-08

makes the sum at stake the largest ever
contested for in the prize ring. The
club posts $40, 900 to be devided equally
between the two contestants should It
fail 10 carry out it contract, and both
men agree to deposit S5,OOO each to in
sure their appearance in the ring. The
interest which this b tile, which will
90 long way toward fully deciding the
worlds cham pionship, will arouse on
both sides OF the water, cannot be under
estimated. Both BOrbett and Mitchell
know that the battle is going TO be
long and hard one, and make their pre-
DsrationS accordingly. Mitchell be-
gan training before he left England,
and has already resumed work here.
He will train somewhere near Coney
Island, where be can have the benefit
OF salt baths and the ocean breeze.
When I saw him the other night he
looked strong and well. He said be
weighed 1914 pounds, but should enter
the ring weighing about $50. He has
taken on flesh rapidly in recsnt years
and cannot now 20 much below the lat
ter weight and retain his full strength.
Corbett has for several weeks past been
doing light work at his country place
at Deal Lake. He has John Donaldson,
Billy Delaney aud a rubber with him,
and promises to be in magnificent con-
dition when the time for the contest
comes. Mitchell viii probably be
trained By Jim Hall and Darrin, the
spriuter, who came over with him from
England.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1893-10-08

It is going to be hard work even for
the talent to draw a safe line on this
contest. Corbett's friends look for him
10 win with ease, and for certainty he
has age. size. and and length Of reach,
all important factors in his favor, but ii
is also in my opinion certain that he is
TO meet in Mitchell the best man against
whom he has ever boon pitted. Mitchell
Is only little over thirty, has always
taken excellent care Of himself, is as
strong as 40 OK, can strike wicked
blow and is moreover, one OF the best
boxers living. 1t is true that It was
