Game of Ball.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-An
Australian base ball team is expected
to arrive here in a few days. 1t will
make tour of the United States. and
if the judgment Of many who claim to
know IS correct it will give American
players hard battle for first place in
the base ball world. The men have
been carefully selected and are said to
be fine, steady lot of players. Most
of them are Well-knoWn cricketers
and they expect the experience gained
at England's national game will stand
them in good stead in the effective
handling of a base ball bat. In field
ing the team is said to be exceptionally
strong, and the catching is spoken Of in
Australia as phenomenal
IngletOn, one of the team. has ranked
as the best second baseman in Victoria
and is a good fielder and a first-rate
batter. EVers is also good at the bat
and fast pitcher. He stands high as
player in South Australia. Mckay is
the pioneer base ball member, and IS
good man all around. He is the
smallest man on the team, and is one
of the quickest. McAllister is a hard
and sure hitter and will take care Of
third base during the tour. Ellis Is
said to be the best Outfelder in Vic
tCria, safe as to hands and sure at bat
Wallace IS the catcher and has es-
tablished a, name for himself. Kemp is
the left-handed pitcher and is famous
for great pace and deceptive curves. F.
Stuckey, known in Australia as a
steady man at cricket, is one Of the
hardest hitters in the team. and is Il
safe man in the field. c. Over is the
intellectual pitcher Of the team. He
uses his head to save his strength, and
can be depended on in almost any
capacity. Wiseman is another out
fielder, and the combination of Wise
man, STICKY and Ellis is said to be
without equal in Australia, and one
which will worry American players be-
fore the tour is over. Irwin is a fast
Splinter. fair batsman. He is short
stop of the team.
The Australians are bringing plenty
of pitching material. In LaVert they
claim to have a sure haven Of refuge
In his pitching he mikes very fast ones
with slow curves, and is possessed Of
sound Judgment He is one of Aus
tralia's best cricketers, and has a repu-
tatiOn Of being the best point fielder q
position where such balls as come are
hot and sudden. LaVert, IngletOn and
EYers have been elected as the eXecu-
tive committee Of the team.

prohibiting it. There was no fight.
1t is pity that every state and every

CORBETT WILL CALL.
The Ex-Champion - still Anxious to
See FitzsfmmCns.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22-Many
contradictory stories are current about
4 the respective parties concerned in the
picture taking scheme connected with
The. recent championship fight. Accord
ing Ia William K. Wheelock, acting as
conf Iential adviser for the Stuart cor
rotation, Dan Stuart alone received
any remuneration for the kaleidoscope
privilege. He says that when Stuart
Iad arranged the fight, various offers
we're made by the kaleidoscope concerns.
The Edison company and the VitascOpe
company bid $4,000; E J. Rector bid
81 000 and obtained the privilege.
WheelOck also stated that the fighters
did not, and will not receive any pOr-
ton Of this money. He asserts that the
agreement between Stuart and Rector
would have been cancelled had the
weather been such as to make photo
graphing impossible. The reason alleg-
ed is that the expense Of getting and
setting up the kaleidoscope machinery
amounts to $40 900. He says Stuart
agreed not to demand the 81 900 if the
day was too dark and dismal for the
proper operation of the apparatus.
Martin Julian says that each fighter
secured rights for himself. Just how
much and what they are to receive he
would not divulge, claiming that it
was a private matter and did not con-
winner was to receive an extra stipend.
FitZsimmons has nothing to say for
himself trusting in the unbOunded
acumen of his brOther-in-laW, Martin.
Corbett, who has followed the bust
ness details of the fight with a sharp
eye sings a song different from the
others. He says that each fighter re-
CeiVes a percentage, and the winner
an extra $4,000.
Corbett has not yet called on Fitz,
but still intends to do so. The visit
Will not be so much a social as bust
ness one, for Jim is intent upon obtain
ing another match.
WheelOck promises another big meet
inside Of a year. If another match can
be arranged between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons. Stuart will make bid for

Wabash gave notice it would take independent
action, but the chairman of the Western Pas

the agreement, it could only do so after Civ

sought to justify itself under another clause
of the agreement, but the chairman ruled
that 1t would not apply either. The Wabash

Freedom the Victor Over Strong in
Four ROUNDS.


NEW YORK, March 22-Dan Cree
don, of Australia. knocked out Charley
Strong, Of Newark in the fourth round
at the Arena Athletic club tonight.
The Australian was the more scientific
OF the two and hit Strong whenever
and wherever he liked with clever
left leads, lodging Strong's vicious
counters with the greatest of ease.
Toward the end of the first round Cree
don knocked Strong down with
straight left in the jaw. When Strong
arose he was very unsteady, and Cree
don went in to finish the fight. Strong,
however, braced up and delivered a
Tight-hand swing that almost took off
the head of his opponent.
CreedOn tried hard to end the job IN
the third round, but the colOred fighter
was full Of snap, and fought back
hard. CreedOn appeared very tired, and
on Two occasions he barely got out OF
, the way Of SrOng's right. In the fourth
round Creedon pressed the colOred
/ fighter TO the ropes, landing almost as
he pleased. A straight left-hand jolt
ion the jaw was the beginning Of the
end.
