the unsettled points OF the contest between
him and Sharkey. We agreed that tie
fight shall take place between November
20 and December i q, and also that we select
within one week one Of the various offers
Of purses made for the battle.
Looking over the list we found that
the most reliable offer In sight is that OF
the National Athletic Gu; Of san Fran
cisco This organization proposes To give
a purse Of 10000, and forfeit So 600 in
case of its failure TO bring off the contcs;
successfully. These terms we greed would
SUIT us, provided no letter offer is nIedc
within the time Stipulated
Then we studied the offer made by the
Baltimore people. Their proposal would
undoubtedly realize more MONEY owing to
location, but they failed 10 cover the
important point of reimbursing the men
N case of failure 10 pull off the fight.
We decided to communicate with the Bal
tialore people aud propose that If they
deposit a $4,000 forfeit that Sharkey and
Corbett would each put up $500, the
same to guarantee their appearance i'll the
ring.
Later in the week l shall go to Bal

the matter.

Nagcine the umpire at every ball called on
the visiting club, and at every strike called
on the home club.
"A kick on any decision that is not Il

given as safe for The visiting club. Joyce

his life weary. Tie New York captain picks
out his victims well. This sort of thing viii
go with men of the Henderson and Camp
bell stripe. but not with Lynch, Emslie,
Hurst or Sheridan. 1t means that the other
clubs Will adopt the same tactics.
Now. joyce cannot gain anything by
this in the long run. II Is not at all un-
common to see Joyce begin his kick and
then at the close of the half inning the
procession will begin-first Joyce with hic
