Few men are better known in the
sporting world than "Honest" John KEEL
Iy, who has been selected as referee for
the COrbett- Mitchell fight. He was born
ia New York and has at various times
during his career played every position
on the diamond, but he found after
time that his proper place was behind
the bat. and 1t was as a ''star catcher
That he first became known outside of his
own baiiiwick. But catching was hard
work, and Kelly kept his eyes open for
"sOfter snap, as he expressed lt. 10 be
q manager was his ambition, ana when
he took hold Of the Louisville club he
thought he had reached the highest PIN
nacle Of success. He made good man
ager and paid his players regularly. AT
this time there was a call for honest UNI
pires. Kelly gave up his club and re-
turned to umpiring- he was always most
successful ia this capacity, and Il Is con-
coded by nearly every man who pretends
70 thoroughly understand he game that
John Kelly was the best umpire who ever
set foot on a ball field
He has not taken an active part in base
ball for five years, having establis he'd a
profitable saloon IN New York, bat often
when there is fine point I'D the National
game in dispute, Kelly is appealed to for
a decision.
Kelly gained his soubriQuet through a
peculiar circumstance which occurred
some years ago near Akron, Q. He was
out dining with friend one bleak winter
day, and they were spinning along at "a
lively gait in order to reach town
before nightfal The roads were bad,
and when night stretched her dark
canopy and enveIoped them in darkness
they were ten miles from their destina-
ton. The horse took fright at big
snowdrift and ran away but Kelly and
his companion escaped serious injury by
jumping out They We're in a pretty
pickle then. but Kelly resolved Is make
the best of it. So they started towards
the city, and after walking perhaps three
miles came upon small farm house.
Kelly Knocked at the door for some time,
and finally an old man with long gray
whiskers, through which the chill winds
blew and whistled. came out He carr
ried an old fashioned lantern, and might
have been mistaken for the ghost of bio
genes, except for the fact that he wore
rawhide boots, which articles Of apparel
are of comparatively recent invention.
Holding the lantern mp TO kelly's good
natured face and scrutInizing his feat

So he harnessed up an old gray mare
to a blackboard, and upon receiving 81

next day, allowed the strangers to drive

They reached Akron In safety. but the
old mans gray mare died during the
night. Kelly set out for the farm house

hitched on behind his stylish buggy.
The old man was watching for him bat
MS jaw dropped when he noticed that
his gray mare was missing

handing over a crisp government note
and thanking his stars that he had got

as he slowly remarked.

training was done at Mayport. a small
fishing station unknown To the world at
large until the advent of the puguist
and his party, situated about 20 miles
from Jacksonvil, and seven from Pablo
Beach, the summer resort Of Fl0ridans.
The hamlet of AIayport is but stray
Cling one, possessed of a few natural at
fractions, but a spot well fitted for the
purpose of a pugulist in training. The
Atlantic stretches out its broad bosom to
the eastward leaving broad
and unbroken beach Of firm white
sand between the river St. Johns which
courses past it to the west Of the few
cottages of which the hamlet can boast.
the COrbett party secured four, and under
their roofs and on the broad firm beach
the champion took his daily practice at
boxing, wrestling and running.
With COrbett have been Billy Delaney,
his trainer. the same who made him fit to
whip Sullivan. John McNey, the wrestler,
and Dan CreedOn, the Australian aspirant
for Fitzsimmons, Prof. JnO. Donaldson,
n ew 40rks expert boxing instructor,
Dan Tracey, w a. Brady, COrbett's man
ager, and "iSid" Egan, private secretary
to the pugilist
Corbett has trained hard and faithfully
every day since he arrived in Florida,
and his appearance prior to his departure
from his quarters fully justified the as-
serti0n Of himself and his friends thathe
was fit to do battle for anything within
the gift of man.

NEW LAW FOR INSANE.
Important Measure to be Laid Before q

Important Measure to be Laid Before the
 Next Legislature.
 Medical and political circles both regard with particular interest the project of bringing before the coming legislature a bill to establish a commission in lunacy.
 A similar bill was laid before the present legislature. but owing to the enormous amount of work before that body no action was taken regarding it. The bill which will be submitted to the legislature early in the coming winter will be largely modi- fled from the old one.
 There are specialists who wish election to the house mainly for the reason that they may further reform in the laws re- garding the insane and of thess reforms the establishing of commission in lunacy is accounted the one most called for.
 Such n commission would have its headquarters in the capitol. where htera- ture and records concerning the insane of the state and the laws regarding insanity would be of easy access to the public.
 The main duties of the commissioners might be classified into three divisions: First. the general supervision of the state hospital and of the private insane asylums, including the issuing and the re- voking of permits; second. the appoint ment of examiners in lunacy," and third to return to his home in any other state or country. any insane person not resi- dent of the state before his commitment whose retention is detrimental to the in- stitution in which he is confined.

 Childs of the Cleveland club made the second base record of the season last Tues day. when he accepted all of fifteen chances in the field.
 The best all round record of the season is held by Zimmer of the CIevelands On July II he went to the bat six times, made three runs. six hits with q total of nine three two baggers. had ten put outs. two assists and no errors.
 In one of the games on Tuesday be tween the Clevelan1s and Brooklyns the former made but one hit of Lucid in the eight innings. and yet it was reported in the paper that the Brooklyn man did not pitch A remarkable game. It looks rather as though the Clevelands did not do any remarkable batting.
 It is rather rough when one player by making an error in the field, being guilty of reckless base running or foolish c0ach- ing of base runners. knock the rest of the Bostons out of chance to play of a series of games for the Temple trophy. and pre- vents them from making anywhere from $500 to $500 each.
