John Lawson, the terrible Swede," sue

skating records last night at the Conven-
tion Hall Ice Palace, as a result of his at
tempt to lower the professional records for
distances from ten to fifty miles. He COW
cred the latter distance in 3.O0:12 the pro-
fessional record being 4:23 Aga and the
amateur record 3:15:53 %.
Lawson started on his long journey at a
little after 3 o'clock and when he finished
there was an immense crowd of people
waiting to give him the applause he de-
served for his game effort. During the
race his skates were worn off SO much at
the edges that he could hardly make the
corners during the last ten miles, and but
for this fact would undoubtedly have made
the distance in much less time than he
dtd. He was paced by Cassin, Hewes. and
the champion of the District and Maryland,
Harry Sites. who helped him materially
by their efforts. The Swede kept ,up
wonderfully steady pace, and did not vary
a FOOT from the beaten track In his five
hundred rounds OF the track. When he
finished he was pretty badly used up on ac-
count OF the terrible strain ON his left foot,
which Is used more than the right one In
making the corners, but considering the

Lawson's breaking the amateur record
for nifty miles as we'll ,as the professional
records for the dis3ance6 between ten and
nifty miles is regarded as wonderful feat.
The amateur record is held by Joe Dono-
ghue. who made 1t before he entered the
profs ssionali ranks. .nsvhffe the professional
records have stood sinca 1879. These were
much slower than the amateur marks, but
as Lawson is professional. he could not
go after the amateur records, anu had to
be content with breaking the slower ones.

race, together with the existing. records.

a private conference at Indianapolis yes
terday. Neither cared to talk of the de-
tails of the meeting. President Brush said
that Mr.. Won der Abe wanted 10 strengthen
his club ard needed some assistance. Sew
eral deals were discussed. The most i'm
portant one was the purchase of the Cleve-
lard Club. Mr.. Won der Abe went to Cleve-
land several days ago prepared to make an
offer for several crack players of that
club, and mis- visit to Indianapolis was
for the purpose of securing President
BruSh's cooperation in buying out the
club. dividing the players and putting
National League club in indianapolis.
Mr. Won der Abe would neither affirm
nor deny this feature of the case, but did
say that he was after ball players, and
was going to get them in whatever way he
could, even if he had to buy another club.
President Brush said that such deal
could rot be made without the consent of
the other clubs in the league Won der
Abe left for st. Louis in the afternoon.

a long time Is the report that Roger Con-
nor of the st. Louis Base Ball Club has
Teen traded for Bug Halliday of the
Cincinnati club. This indicates that Buck
Ewing will not play first bese for the
Reds, but will retire from base ball. This
will be great blow to the team. There
will be many shaking Of heads over this
deal and there will be many who will ques-
ton whether the Reds have strengthened.
