Knocked Out Corbat+

A New York dispatch says: Young
critic and jim Corbett met in a res
taurant on upper Broadway a few
mornings ago, and in an argument
which followed Corbett's refusal to
drlnK with Critic, the latter came off a
victor In an unexpected manner.
Critic had on his usual lag and was
extremely frank in his remarks to the
heavyweight champion. Corbett re-
sented this familiarity and when Critic
declared that Jackson could beat him
and that he Critic could stand him
OH for four rounds, Corbett turned and
slapped Critic with such force that
Critic threw out his right foot with
the latter fell to the floor Corbett
then bent over the little fellow when
great force Corbett fell backward. and
his head struck an iron cuspidor, rem
dering him unconscious.
After the general melee which fol-
lowed, Critic made his escape and Cor
bett was removed to a drug store for
repairs.

AMONG THE PUGILIsTs.

Jim Hall, who has been winterina- in
Detroit and picking up occasional
matches before clubs, the most nota ble
of which was the recent bout with Peter
Maher, has issued a challenge to fight
any 165-pond man for a reasonable
stake. He would like particularly to
put up some of his pin money on a lin
ited-round contest with Joe Choynski.
The Maher-Kilrain fight, scheduled
for April 1S, has been declared off. This
is on authority of John @. Quinn, the
hacker of Peter Maher, who arrived
in this city last night. He says they
offered Kilrain the entire receipts if
he didn't settle him in six rounds. but
the Baltimorean did not care to under
take the task.
Arthur Valentine, the English light
weight champion, has been matched to
meet Charley Johnson, of st. Paul. ten

and L would not be surprised to see
many old-tinee S'rooters'' on the
wheel this year, who in former times
were regular patrons of the polo
grounds. I have no desire to throw
cold water on Freedman, the new
controlling feature in New York
baseball affairs, but the retirement
from the New York club of all it's
old officials, including such men as
Cornelius Van Colt, Gen. e. A. Nc

tiers to any great extent.
Then base ball is funny business at
its best, and the history of the game
from its infancy has always illustrated
one fact. The enthusiasts, combined
with good management, build it UP to
high point, and just as every club
owner expects TO make a million, the
crash comes, and the bright shekels
instead of flowing into the base ball
Golfers, take wings and fly away.
This was the case in 1890, for 1889 was
certainly the banner year in the sport.

as we'll as did 1889, and every enthusi-
asst hopes that the dismal record Of

has practically lived in the some

gives him the sound business sense
characteristic of the race.
He lives well, but he saves a big por-

sent $4,000 more. He keeps a. carriage

A PRIVATE RUSSIAN BATH.
Taral has a complete Russian bath
outfit on the second floor of his house.
For the past week he has b. Ten getting
up every morning at o'clock, and the
first thing he does is to take hot
bath, and is then rubbed down by his
valet. He sits down to breakfast at
4:30 and eats very carefully, avoiding
all foods of fat-producing qualities.
His breakfast usually consists of a
couple of soft-boiled eggs, steak or
chops, with the fat removed, bread,
coffee and fruit. Then he starts off
for the Sheepshead Bay track, where
the horses of the Keene stable are To-
|, Gated. He reaches there a little after
s o'clock, and, donning a couple of
heavy sweaters, begins the teal bust

ness of the day.

ness of the day.
Billy Lakeland, the trainer for the
keeneS, lives at the stables, and has
the mornings work carefully planned
out by the time Taral arrives. He has
figured what horses are to be walked,
trotted, galloped or sent along at a
good clip. There are a dozen exercise
boys in the Keene stable, and they re-
gard Taral with an amusing amount
of reverence. He is a king in that
realm of horsedom. Horse after horse
is brought out, and Taral rides the
ones whose training is most advanced.
Lakeland relies on his judgment on
the question Of pushing a horse along
in his work. An indiscretion in this
delicate subject might cripple valu-
able animal for the rest of the season,
and, perhaps, for life.
A STIFF MORNINGS WORK.
Frequently Taral rides eight and ten
horses in a morning, which means a
total ride of from twenty-five to thirty
miles. This is stiff mornings work
in itself, and Taral relies upon it more
to reduce his weight than anything
else. While it removes all the super
f1uous fat, it hardens his body and in
creases his vigor and strength, two all
important factors for successful work
in the saddle.
When the exercise work is over
Taral is again rubbed down by his
valet. If he gets off quarter of a
pound day he is well satisfied with
the mornings work. It's compare
lively easy matter to get off the first
five pounds, but as the reducing pro-
cess advances its difficulties increase,
and the last three or four pounds are
the hardest of them all. Every pound
that he can get off is worth so many
more hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of dollars to him in the seasons
work, as his range for accepting out
side mounts is widened in proportion
to the lightness of his weight.
But his ambition to make all the
money he can never leads Taral to
adopt the short-sighted policy of re-
ducing his weight to the point where
his strength is affected. Some jock
eys get off three and four pounds in
night by staying in the steam room
of a Russian bath establishment, but
then they are so weak that they al
most have to be lifted into the saddle
the following day.
A RUINOUs PRACTICE.
Taral regards this as a ruinous

1890, 1891 and 1892 will not be repeated
in 1895, 1896 and 1897. 1t has often been
said that no capitalist ever made a
dollar out of base ball who was not in
tercsted in the manufacture of sport
ing goods, and this statement is not
far out of the way. The trimmers of
Boston have made money, but how
many other club owners have been so
fortunate? So all the enthusiasts can
do is to root and hope for the best,
for nothing is sure in this world, and
nothing is more uncertain than base
ball.
STARS AND HAS BEENS.
AS is usual at this time of the year.
the liveliest interest is manifested in
the coming out of the new green dia-
mond stars. Many has beens'' were
developed in 1894, and many more will
go this year. Every club in the league
has fortified itself with young "blood,"
and five or six phenomenals will be de-
veloped, while five times that number
will be found to be chaff, and they will
sink into oblivion before the season is
well advanced.
Base ball this year will mean a great
deal to three men, more than to any
other three men in the base ball bus
mess. These men are George S. Davis,
the new nager-captain of the
Giants; David l.. Foutz, the manager
of the Brooklyn club, and William
"Buck' Ewing, the manager Of the
Cincinnati team. This trio have year

sporting phrase goes. Taral only
drinks an occasional glass Of wine, but
he smokes a great deal, and always
the finest of cigars. In fact, smoking
is the only luxury he allows himself,
besides attending the big prize fights,
a sport of which he is exceedingly
fond.

friends who regard their respective

horsemen and the racing public

that there is no one like him within

Connaughton is a well-built Young

that he is in prime form. He plaved
short for Boston last season during
Herman Longs absence, and put up
such a stiff article of ball that the EN-
tire Boston press censured Manager

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. S.-On Tuesday
November 5. the people Of Kentucky VIII
elect state officers: one-half of the SEN
ate and a new house of representatives.
The incoming legislature will elect a
11nited States senator to succeed Senator
Rlackburn The candidates for the posi-
ton are the present incumbent-and Con-
eressman McCreary, both Democrats.
ON the part of the Republicans and the
opposition generally the campaign mas
been conducted on state issues. General
Hardin. the Democratic candidate for
governor, has had to fight the combined
opposition and a large element in his own
PARTY. because of his financial views.
The result of the election is in doubt,
and the majority will be very small. 1t
IS the general opinion that Blackburn
vii be reelected senator; and that Tho
Democrats viii lose the office of gov
ernor. secretary of state and attorney
general. There are four tickets before
the voters. viz: Democratic, 2. w Hard
in for governor; Republican, w. o. Brad
lev for governor; Peoples, T. S. Petit for
governor, and Prohibition, L. B. Demoras
Tor governor. There are more independ-
ent voters in Kentucky than ever before
and there will he a great deal of scratch
ing, so much that IL would be Impossible
to fairly prophesy the result of the cleo
ton.
