or three games of hand ball every after
noon That arm, about which so much
has been said and written, is coming
around nicely, and Jack will earn the
paltry $3.50 a month which he will get
from Comiskey. Anent Jacks recent
troubles, an exchange remarks:
"On the day that Jack Glasscock gets
sny the worst of it from a cheap club
manager, overcoats will be worn low
Almost to the heels; earmuffs will be at
a premium; the ice man will have trad
ed his hooks for a snow shovel; the
plumber will be grinning great grins;
the coal dealer will be figuring on that
new brick block, while the mercury Will
be knocking over fruit jars down in the
cellar. The day will be cold, indeed.
Honest John appears to have gone
up against game in the Western
league, which is not to his liking, and
he b. declared himself. The great
shGTtstop from Wheeling, whose smil-
ing face is familiar TO every newsboy
and base ball fan in any city where
base ball is known, is out of a job at
present, owing to a little mixture be-
tween Columbus, O., and st. Paul,
Mimi, both in the Western league. He
has a standing offer from St. Paul,
which he refuses to accept unless
Charles Comiskey, the once famous Ma
tional league and American association
manager, now with st. Paul, raises his
offer $50 per MONTH

Grounds Can be Secured-Mr. Mckee VIII
be Down.
Mr.. Charles I. Mckee, owner of the
Wheeling franchise in the Interstate
league, was expected in the city yester-
day, but for some reason did not come.
He sent a telegram to a friend here stat
ing that he would be down on Sunday,
and later a telegram was received at
the Register Office stating that he left
on the noon train. If he boarded the
noon train, he must have been side
tracked somewhere.
1t now appears highly probable that
the ground question will be solved.
The Register yesterday suggested a
location, for which deal may be closed
at once. In response to the invitation
in the Register for suggestions per-
tanning to the ground question, one
fan yesterday mentioned the bridge
park; another the vacant property
above that park, where the fireworks
display was given several years ago;
and the third another location north
of the State Fair Grounds. All these
properties are on the Island, and any
one would make an excellent park.
The general expressions of regret
concerning the failure of the manage
ment of the local club to secure a site
for a park. is strong proof of the de-
sire for professional base ball this sea
son, and augurs well for the PATRONAGE

seen in this city is now at Coleman $
Ideal Pharmacy, representing the

The opening entertainment Of the
Ozark Athletic Club. OF BenwOod, was
more successful from a scientific than
from a financial standpoint There
was fair sized crowd present, how
ever. and the different friendly bouts
were warmly applauded. The contests
were for points. and the audience dld
not expect any of the boxers 10 be put
To- sleep. Nevertheless. there was
complaint that the contests were tame
The work of the principals was lively
and the interest of the spectators was
not suffered to lag.
There was some misunderstanding
concerning the bout between Charley
Och of this city, and Cyclone
Sweeney. of BenwoOd, which resulted
in it's being declared of. The first pre-
Gm.narv was between Eddie Horan,
The champion 115 pound amateur, ana
McNeeeyev. of Pittsburg, who fights at
lZ5 pounds. The TWO men were fairly
well matched, and mixed things IN an
interesting manner for four rounds, at
The end of which time, Jimmy Row
am. who oGiciated as referee, declared
the contest q draw The decision gave
general satisfaction.
The next go had John Parry OF
Homestead. and James OthellO OF Pitts
burr for the principals. Parry, who
has fought several battles before the
Metropolitan Athletic Club, was a de-
cided layorite Othello is the little col
ored fellow who trained jerry Marshall
for his fight with Parry. This was also
q friendly bout of four rounds. Both
men handled themselves cleverly. and
it was a case OF give and take, with
slight advantage for Parry. This was
also declared a draw.
The principal card was a siX-round
so" between John Finnegan and Mike
Lewis, both of Piusburg. These men
have met before. to the advantage of
Lewis The contest last night was
merely for points, and was as pretty
an exhibition of science as is often wit
messed inside "a roped ring. The men
were we'll matched in weight as well
as i'm ability. Both were applauded
when they stepped out on the platform.
The first four rounds was very inter
esting. the men landing frequently
duckiug cleverly and handling them
selves like veterans of the prize ring
To was case of give and take with
honors divided. In g. fourth and fifth
round Lewis showed up a little better
than his opponent, but Finnegan re-
deemed himself in the final round.
This contest gave general satisfaction
as did the decision of the referee, de
ciariug 10 a draw
The managers of the affair pulled off
the different bouts promptly, and con-
Quoted the entertainment in a proper
and orderly manner. There was about
dozen Pittsburgers and Homestead
ers friends of the boxers. in the aud
fence. The p resence of Finnnegan nat

cent efforts 10 match him against "Cy-

and went nine pins better. but even
this phenomenal score did not win a

the Australian is in a position to die
tate terms. The most unfortunate fea-
ture in connection with the present
status of affairs. is the threatened cy-
clone of bluff and buster which will
continue until the TWO big fellows
meet in the ring.
Some years ago the local organiza-
ton of wheelmen gave a meet at tho
State fair grounds. and when il was an
over the members Went down into their
Jeans to meet the expenses. This fail
ure rather dampened the enthusiasm
of the riders of the silent steed. " and
the result has been lack of interest
in affairs concerning cycling. There
has been a feeling. however thalt the
city should have wheelmens organ
ization. and this sentiment has crys-
tallized within the past few DAYS. A
movement has been started TO effect
an organization, and a meeting of in
terested persons will be- held this week.
It was an uneyentful week among
and the weak clubs been defeated. I'm
nearly all the competitive games.
There is nothing at present 10 Justify
the prediction that there will be any
important changes i'm the relative posi-
tons of the teams before the close Of
the season. The Brownies will win out
in the Musee tournament. and The Har-
vest Homes will finish al the head
among the South Side teams. The Linz
den Groves will play local club on
two days during the latter part of
March The local players have already
been chosen, and they will put up a
stin fight against the visitors Col
Statler has untolded a scheme for a ju-
venile league, which is very attractive
and which should commend itself TO
parents and guardians. 4 meeting for
organization will probably be held next
week.
