Of tie New York Baseball Club, arrived

Mr. Freedman said II am simply delighted
with the showing that the team has been
making since my absence in Europe. We
would be either in first or second place Il
we had received fair deal on the second
Western trip. We got all the worst of it
Ia certain towns, notably Cincinnati. The
PLAYERS there are lot OF loafers, aud the
umpires we had to submit to are thor
oughly Incompetent.
NOW, here we have but two urupires,
and have had them during most OF the re
cent games, and / want to say that am
in favor OF the double umpire system. 1

and hope to see IL finally adopted. Nick

McKeever and Young Critic Go
Fifteen Rounds.

Fifteen Rounds.
Philadelphia, Sept. s.-Charley McKeever
and Young Critic fought a rifteen-round
draw at Athens, Pa, last night. Nc
Keever's Judgment OF distance was not as
good as CRITICS, and he was away off III
some OF The blows he sent after the agile
Australian. In the early part OF the bout
for the first five or six rounds-Griffo did
most OF the leading, and he was ell over
McKeever, many of the rallies he made
with Charley putting the latter in the light
almost OF novice.
About the eighth or ninth round, how
ever, McKeever steaded himself and went
after GTiffo in hot style. He used his left
with good effect on Grifro's body and ribs,
and his right on the Australians head.
Ia the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds
Mckeever had Critic guessing several times,
and he landed with both hands On the head
and body, but the crafty Critic kept up a
good fluff and came back fast, and mixed
1t up at lively rate.
1t was anybody's contest when the gong
rang at the end OF the fifteenth round, and
the decision, a draw, seemed to please all
hands
Louden Campbell, who came from Pitts
burg TO box Crockey Boyle, of Germantown.
at 40 pounds, refused TO weigh In, and
Tim Callahan and Jack A sflton were put
on as substitutes. They put up first-class
contest, considering the short notice, the
decision being a draw.
The show opened with a ten-round bout
between Young Smyrna, of Chester. and
Martin Judge, of Mauayunk. For the first
six rounds it was pretty even, but from
that On the tide changed in snyrna's favor,
ard hc Flea rly earned the victory which war
awarded him by the referee.

One of the remarkable features connected
with the yeriscope pictures of the Corbett-
Fitzsirnmors glove contest, which took
place at Carson City, New, March II, is the
great interest taken in the exhibitions by
women. The reason is undoubtedly be-
.:ause the yerisccpe allows them the oppor-
tunity OF witnessing clean scientific con
test between two foremost boxers of the
world, without being subjected to the
necessity of seeing the men actually suffer
from the effects of the blows, or having
to undergo any of the little Inconvenience
encountered at an actual contest. These
