A great many of the sporting public
of the East look with marked disfavor
upon the match entered into by Dick
o'Brien and Frank Craig, the Harlem
Coffee Cooler" who are to meet at the
Olympic Club, Birmingham, England,
October 25, for a purse OF 81 ,250.
Those who saw the Coffee Cooler box
with Peter Maher are fearful that the
Maine middleweignt has bitten off more
than he can attend to. Craig's great fight
with Creedon showed that he had not lost
any Of his cunning or skill. He is as
dangerous middleweight as ever fought
in America, and a rushing, bulling pug
like o'Brien will be his own kind OF game
With commend dable gameness, O'Brien
says that he tn inks he can fight better at
tie Coolers" weight than at any other,
and he is confident of victory. II is u
strange occurrence to See two Americans
battling for a stake in foreign country.
1t is hard to say whether the indolent
life of late led by the colored man has
aided him any.
He has been quite while out of harness,
and as O. Brien is known to be in the
pink OF condition, surprise may await the
over Sanguine supporters OF the ''CouIer." !"
There comes a rumor from Gotham fistic
circles that BILLY Brady is once more
going to break into the boxing club man
ageriai circles of the metropolis. The bare
mention of the thing strikes a chill 10
the heart of the ring followers OF that
city. And it is no wonder. New York
had all. and a good deal more, than 1t
wanted Of Mr.. Brady's game in that dt
rection last spring.
Had the hustIing little manager kept his
finger out OF the pugilistic pie so far as
New York is concerned the Gotham City
sports might tonight be quietly watching
a fistic engagement at the Broadway, Polo,
National or some other of the many box
ing clubs.
The inside story of the demise of Brady's

The mantle OF peace and contentment
has once again fallen upon the baseball
world Of the National Capital. Once
more can the local crank hold Up his head
ana 20 forta among his fellows with a
proud ara naughty step. For are not
we-aH dyed-in-t he wool fans say we
back in the first division? True, II was
onIv by one Of the most desperate rallies
IN the history Of Brooklyn baseball that
the Senators snatt.hed Saturdays game
from the Grooms, and at best they are
Eimnly trembling upon the verge Of the
second division precipice- However,
be that as IL may, they are for the time

who holds himself together at critical
3nncures.
The team win have more confidence this
afternoon when they meet the Phillies
than they did against Brooklyn. When
Tom Brown led his boys on the diamond
al Eastern Park the memory Of Brooklyn's
two games out Of three from the Giants
was still fresh This record was enough
TO oYeTaEye tie bravest Of the brave, and
st evidently had that effect upon the

Boston the first Of this week. This fact

Enormous Freight Contract.

mense amount of smelling products,
the freight of which would amount to
the enormous sum of S100,0
The Kansas City concerns referred
to control immense mines IN Old MeXi-
co, also the smelling works in FL Paso.
and it is likely that if the deal has
been made that it refers to the product
of the Mexican mines ard the Ell Paso
smeiter. 1t is also prob ,ble that it is
stuff intended for export. 1t is not at
all unlikely that the Southern Pacific
will turn its export stuff through this
port next season and it may be that
even part of the product destined for
New York will go this way. If it
turns out to be true that the contract
has been made it will mean an immense
amount of business for the port next
year, which has not heretofore come
this Way.-POSt.

A change of time table went into
effect on the Southern Pacific last

time Of the arrival and the departure

one hour between here and Los An

The Floral Society to Have a

The Flower show, which will be given
under the auspices of the State ANA

when roses bloom.
The exhibition will take the form of
Rose Fiesta. Last evening at the reg

Most of the members were opposed to
the giving of a flower show this fail,
as it was thought that a much more
gorgeous display might be made next
May, when all varieties of flowers are
in bloom.
Accordingly the date was postponed.

and landscape gardening, and many
new members viii be added to the So
ciety. Many members of the society
Will establish elaborate flower gardens

Already a piece of ground 100 by 162

was needed and small artificial lake
added to the park. The society will take

TO FIGHT AL HAYMAN.
Theatrical Managers are Organizing
a Rival Synd cate.

New York, Nov. IA secret meeting
of the theatrical managers was held in
this city today, the object of which
was to form a combination to combat
what is known as the Hayman syndi-
cate.
The prime movers in this matter and
the men who took the most active in
terest in today's meeting are Messrs.
Bennett of Pittsburg, who are the les
sees of the Star theater here and of
several other houses in Boston, Phila-
delphia, and Pittsburg. Mr.. Keogh, of
Davis q K eOgh, also was present at to-
days meeting, as We're Mr.. Jack"
Kahn, the lessee of the Columbus the
ater, and several managers from other
cities.
The gentlemen interested have been
at work on their scheme of operation
for several months, and they already
have assurances OF cooperation and
support from managers of eighteen
theaters in all the principal cities of the
country, including several west of Chi
cagO. Their desire is to secure at least
six more houses before December l,
and if they can do this they will pro-
ceed to complete their organization at
once.
The idea is to form sort of mutual
benefit society, with a central office in
New York, where all the bookings for
the various theaters will be attended
to-, but the manager of each house will
be allowed the privilege of rejecting
any attraction IHal may De flHGI6Q MIN
should he feel so disposed. Each
manager will be taxed a small amount
to pay for maintaining the central Of
flee, and that will be the only expense
attached to the mem bership in the
com binatiOn.
Most of the theaters in the move
ment are popular price houses. but it
is the combination's plan to raise the
prices and to play such attractions at
them that they viii come into direct
competition with the theaters control
led by the Hayman syndicate.
