more Jake Kilraip and r Paddy Slavin. have
been heavy-weights. will try to box ten
rounds Neither will go the distance Kill
rain says he will enter the ring al 200
pounds, which is way over his weight
when he figured prominently i'll fistic
icrcles. \ number of sports from this
city will attend the exhibition, for that's
what it will be.
As Ullman and Raedy can easily obtain
backing in any amount from one dollar
to a thousand each. and as weight is even
between them, 1t should not be difficult
for them to get together in the ring. And
as both men are white and have a large
foil owing in their respective cities,
meeting between them would he popular
and would pull the coin at the gate like
offering 1.-TWO tens for a five"
kid" Lavigne does not seem to banker
after any OF Charley Mckcever's game
He got a taste OF what the PhilatleIphan
could do on his return from England after
his victory over Dick BUrgc, and, although
he ha been nibbng at the McKeever finish
fight bait ever since, he finally hooked ON
Jack Everhardt's line. McKeever bested
Everhardt in six rounds in Philadelphia,
just as he did Lavigne in six at New York,
and Is today about the hardest nut in the
light weight class to crack. The other
fellow VS. all seem to know 1t, too.

test at the Eureka Athletic Clubs quarters

the world, and Frank =. Slavin, the
Sydney Cornstalk,'' promises to he the

The Senators viii have the Bruoklyns,
alias "Bridegroums," Trolley Dodgers"
and ''Foutzites,'' as opponents at National
Park this afternoon.
The meeting between these teams at this
particular time is of more than usual in
teress. The two clubs are punched in the
list only a few points separating them, the
actual count beng four games, which are
to BroukIyn's creult on the league ledger.
Should the Senators be- able to show the
form they played in previous to the two
last games with the Philadelphias the
will certainly win all four OF the contests
slated with the visitors, and in that case
il would be Il neck and neck race until
the curtain is rung down ON the season.
1t must be admitted, however, that the
odds are against the Statesmen, but that
it is hard uphill race should move them
to their utmost endcavor in every game re-
manning to be played.
FIGHT FOR EVERY GAME.
Capt. Tom Brown and his boys should
take nothing for granted or allow single
point to be lost by default. There is
many Il slip 'twixt cup and lip and the
winning or losing OF a single game may
decide ninth position.
Ninth place is not much in list OF
twelve, but it is great deal more de
srable than tenth, and anchorage in the
tail end bunch with ST. Louis and Louis
vile. So get at 'em and get out OF 1t.
Again, IA notch hgher.than last season
would be appreciated by local patrons, who,
though not accustomed to great things,
are Of the spirit to make much OF small
honors in the baseball line.
PENNANT Is SETTLED.
By winning from Bro oklyn Saturday,
Baltimore made its calling and election
sure for the remnant for the third conseCu-
tive time
The points of interest now remaining
to he settled are second place, and dis
putants for the Temple Cup with Baltimore,
and whether New York or Philadelphia
will lead the second division Of clubs.
AT present it looks very auspicious for
Cleveland to again stand next to Balti-
more and contest with the Orioles for the
second time for the trophy donated by
Mr.. Temple and the rich prize money at
tendant In such case Patsy and his
Spiders are sure to be favorites in the
betting.
FAVORABLE FOR NEW YORK
1t will be hard battle between New
York and Philadelphia for the honors of
the second division and the result OF the
series between the two clubs, commencing
at the Polo Grounds today, will go a long
ways toward deciding the supremacy.
ON form, New York should hold the
place. The Giants pitchers are in good
shape and the team is batting terrificaliy.
on the other hand, the Quakers are Re
riously crippled behind the bat, and Ia ylor
and Carsey are the only pitchers in con-
dition to work.
A Ii in all, the week will b. an interesting
one, both in the East and ont West, where
Cleveland aud Cincinnati will struggle
hard for the advantage.

without opposition. For the Office Of gem
eral worthy workman there were but two
candidates, Philip l.. Ammon, master

eight nominations, two of which declined.
Henry 3. Martin, of Minneapolis, at pres

of Brooklyn, and Daniel w. Brown, OF
Butte City, Mont, were elected.
1T was voted by the general assembly
to refuse to recognize or sustain organiza-

place of men on strike. This. action was
taken because in the past some of the
organizations have been careless as to
whom were admitted to membership.

The.Eair Estate.

I San Francisco, Nov. lS.-No. time is
to be lost in the distribution Of the mil.
lions Of the late James G. Fair, as far
as his children are concerned. Through
their attorneys they are manoeuveTing
with rapidity, low that the present
will has been buried, that is in strange
contrast to the dilatory tactics which
marked the progress Of the litigation OF
the last eighteen months. Taking encour-
agement from their victory, Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs, Miss Virginia Fair and their
brother have resolved to engage any enc
my that may show signs of fight. To
begin with, three appraisers of the estate
were appointed by Judge Slack today, and
as this is the preliminary step in the dis
tribution of the dead mans estate, mat
tiers begin to assume "a business-like as
pect. The men, who will determine the
value of the various properties Of the
late millionaire are Richard V. Dey,
George l.. Bresse and Ernest A. Leigh.
Opinions vary as to the value of the
estate At the time of Fairs death wild
statements placed his wealth at $4,000
900. Gradually the figures were reduced
and a conservative estimate places them
at $17,00O.OO0. According to one Of the
trustees under the trust will, the estate
has increased one-tifth in value the past
year. &
