SKETCHES BY NJ. QUAD
The Man who Wa. Mi.took.

There had been a religious revival in
several of the mountain towns, and as /
toiled upward toward the summit of
the Cumberland I came across many
evidences of the Influence" The aft
rnoon I reached Whites | found him
seated on a rock in front of a cabin with
4 Bible in his hands, while his ''old
woman sat on a log nearer the house.
The man gave me a genial "Howdy,"
and a pressing invitation to stay all
night, and pretty soon began talking
about the great awakening and his
change Of heart. He had been a bad.
bad man, he said, as tears rolled down
his cheeks. but had come at last to see
the error Of his ways, and now felt him
self n Of the elect. / noticed that Mrs.
White looked doubtful, and had nothing
to say, and that evening after supper.
~ the old man was feeding the mules
and the two Of us were sitting on the
doorstep she suddenly turned on me

TO PROTECT SPORTS.
State Association to he Formed in
Pennsylvania.

IenuSylNuDld.
Philadelphia March 9.-The frequent
sct-backs given TO sport in this city and
State have caused much thinking and
planning among the leading organizations
OF the kind here. As result there is in
formation an association which will have
as i,s prime object the protection OF all
varieties OF sport.
The leaders i'll the movement are the
Philadelphia Driving Park Association,
Belmont Driving club. and the Turf Club
while many sport promoting organizations
in this city anu state have already signified
their intentions Of entering. Every club
viii be asked TO join.
The main idea is to get those politicians
III office who favor sports. which are
kept in moderation, and to do this party
lines are cast aside and the support Of the
organizations given the man WHO Will look
after their interests.
The scheme is a big one. and there is
every favorable indication that 1t will
succeed The sport-loking people easily
form two-thirls of the population, so that
il they can b. brought together the result
desired will bc assured.
The idea is 10 promote sports and TO
keep them III moderation, the association
being intrustcd with the power to See
that boxing and racing i'll particular are
kept as they should be. The laws enacted
on these two branches of sport have prac-
tically killed them here, certainly the
former.
A meeting of the new organization was
held in this city some time ago and i
committee appointed to advance the In
terests Of the association.

CORBETT REPLIES TO FITZ
Will Not Argue Whether He Is
Champion or Not.
Bob Fight or His Actions VIII
y Brand Him AZ II Coward.

Pittsburg. Pa, March 9.-Jamcs j. Cor
bctt. now in Chicago. has forwarded the
Following statement Ia the Dispatch:
In Sundays review of sports you dis
cusscd the question OF Il battle between
FitzsiInmons and myself. Some of your
opinions are true and some. in my estima-
tion. are against me, owing To IL misun,cr-
standing OF the IA cts or the case.
Il am not going to argue whether o not
was OF am champion OF the world. l have
my own opinion about IL and as far as merit
Is concerned. and record has any bearing.
most certainly think am champion OF the
entire world. But let that matter go.
what wish to point out is that never
declined TO meet an opponent within rea
sOnable limits OF time. ] did not engage
with Fitzsimmons as soon as be desired
because, fairly speaking, he was only u
middlcweight, and ] had nothing to gain
by defeating him, for ] would have had Ia
cast aside n very profitable business. But
within Il reasonable time ] did make a
match with FitZsimmons. and after ] had
spent and lost thousands of dollars in get
ting ready to fight him, he sIunk away like
a coward.
Had FitZsinniOns been as eager to
meet me as Peter Maher was 10 meet him,
our contest would have taken place beyond
all doubt, and lie would never had fought
Maher. Why, FitZsimmons. when mat chcd
to fight NE, would not appear within scores
of miles of the battle-ground until he
knew there were Officers of the law TO ar
rest him. This is no cxageeration; il is no
blow or bluff: IL is a cold fact, and he and
others know II.
1t is now a quest ion OF ambition with
me, and / am determined to make FitZ-
simmons fight mt, or Jet his actions for
ever brand him as "A coward. He cannot
refuse to make a match with me. if he
claims the title OF champion. But his
heart prompts him To keep clear OF me. /
can whip him, and he knows it. Yes, he
does.
II will receive n copy of the articles Of
a agreement from the National Sporting
Club, London, in a few days. and so will
he. j will sign them, no matter what the
conditions are. and I'll almost stake my
life on il he will be coward enough TO ig-
more them.
II care nothing about the statements of
interested people regarding my condition.
Let my friends rest assured that l am as
good as ever / was. make this statement
with all carnestness, in all truth. and in
fun view of the fact that there is an eter-
nifty.
II trust you will give my statement
similar 10 what you gave your
opinions about me. l feel sure Won Will,
because your impartiality is well known.

Strained Relations Between the
League and Old Association.
FREEDMAN, BYRNE, BRUSH
Wagner Remains Quiet a nd Is Reported
TO BE Satisfied With the Present
Arrangement-Pres and Public of
st. Louis Up In Arms Against the
Reign of Won der Ahe.

The first really prosperous season of base
| ball has apparently been of little benefit
| To the magnates-from Il business stand
| point. II has turned the heads OF Mcssrs
| Freedman, Byrne and Brush, and they have
| aired themselves to their hearts cOnten,
! since the recent League meeting, and the
| outside world has come into possession
| of one or two secrets.
| Their talks have been given much pub
| licity, and the chances are they will al
| be sorry for IL before the cseasOnisOver. The
| game Is in no way benefited, aud the trio
| had better bury the baseball bat and be
! friends. 1"Hr=
1t would seem that n strained relation cX-
lists bet wcen what is KIN O wn as the Old A nIcr-
ican Association element and the National
League adhercnts.
Mir. Freedman very plainly states that
the American Association factions have
combined to run things to suit themselves.
The moguls OF the faction are Byrne and
Brush, and charges about these men do
ing everything for their own Interests
cannot well be exaggerated. We know
Mr.. B yrne of old, and IL he had his most
earnest desires fulfilled, Pittsburg would
be wiped off the map.
WORD WAR SIGNIFICANT.
This war of words between the niagnatcs
mentioned is significant because il means
that sooner or later there will be Il split
in the present League. lfa split should come
Washington will do wei To be on the Ma
tional League side of the question.
Mr.. Wagner has been very quiet, and has
sawed wood as patiently as ever char
acteriZed the work of n Michigan wood
chopper. Washingtonians, while having a
friendly feeling for all Leagues, prefer TO
to have as visitors at National Park the
Colts, the Reds. the Spiders, the Cohnels,
the Pirates, the Beaneatcrs. the Giants, the
Bridegrooms, the Bro WINS, the Orioles, and
the Quakcrs. They are twelve good teams,
and tongues of one or two or three men can
not be the means of disrupting the Natioual
League.
BAD OUTLOOK AT ST. LOUIS.
Matters at st. Louis, If reports are
true, are very discouraging at present
The public press there is bitterly opposed
to the present management of that club
and Won der Abe and his team are jecred
at every day by the leading newspapers
Now this is a very serious thing for the
league generally, for every club will suffer
more or less. If Won der Abe was the only
one to suffer the consequences OF his Ie-
markably bad management OF things none
of us could well complain.
The patronage of the game in st. Louis
has dwindled down to ruiDous degree
ana this affects visiting teams. With the
club in the hands of a new management ST.
Louis would be one of the best cities in the
League. This ought to be a matter for the
league nlaSnatts 10 zeal WIN III very
rigid manner. Won der Abe has apparently
Outliycd his usefulness as a baseball mag
nate.
