For some years past hot discussion has
been carried on In some OF the papers as to
whether crack professional pigeon shooters
like Fulford. Brewer. Elliott. and Dudd were
better shots than an equal number Of club
men such as frequent the Larchmont. West
minister. and Cartaret Gun Club grounds every
week. The advocates OF the professionals
held that men like Fulford and Brewer had
made scores In public that no amateur has
ever approached In private. and that they
could give any one OF the amateurs five dead
birds In hundred and a beating. They
pointed to Fulford's great record in his match
with Brewer at Marion. N. j.. a few years ago.
when he killed ninety-nine out OF a possible

straight on the second. and ninety-tlve on tho

vices OF John NJ. Ward. He signed contract
at the residence OF L. i. Talcott. lat West
seventy-second street. last evening. and will
no doubt play second base and captain the
team when It takes tho field next spring.
| Ward signed after a brief but satisfactory
conference with Director Talcott
When asked rs to the terms on which he had
| signed. Ward replied:
while do not care to name tho figures.
still am free to say that 1 will not receive
near 80 much as did last season. At the same
time recognize the fact that all players must
accept a reduction in salaries in order that
the game may again be put on its feet"
Ward got $1,000 for his work as manager.
captain. and player in Brooklyn. and an esti-
mate that is probably not far wrong would
place his figures with the New York Club at
$4,000. He will certainly captain the team. in
addition to playing. and as he will have the
selection OF the players for the team OF 1893.
his dutios will not be light.
