had been COMPLEMENTARY the German
magnate disposed Of his club to Capitalist
Becker for a sum not publicly stated, Will
not likely be questioned by the base ball
world. II is known that Becker and Chris
are old pals, that the latter is In debt to
the former, and that but for his moneyed
friend Chris would have been forced to
rellnquish his hold on the Browns years ago.
1t is also admitted that the deal Chris has
fixed up with his friend will enable him to
continue to exercise a controlling influence
over the st. Louis club. which latter fact
is a bitter pill to the st. Louis base ball
public. II the deal with Becker wal brought
under the searchlight of q law court there
would probably be a certain amount OF
decayed matter discovered in connection
with 1t. 1t is not likely that this will be
done, however. 1t seems a pity that the
Browns did not fall into new hands. The
team seems to have fallen into a rut that
it cannot get out OF, and with Chris still
the guiding spirit the fans down In the
Mound City admit that there is little hope
for Improvement. The franchise OF the club
is n valuable one. st. Louis is a great ball
town with a winning team. There are many
men Of means who know this and who were
ready to jump in a few days ago at the
public sale OF the club that was to come
off and bid for II, with the intention OF
providing a team that could win. But Chris
has fooled them all once more.

The fight is to be twenty rounds for a
purse Of 500, 900. 1t is to take place at the
Hawthorne club in Buffalo on September
10, during the afternoon, in order that
veriscope pictures may be taken. If 1t
should be necessary, on account Of the
weather conditions, the fight is to be post
poned from day to day until everything is
right for the taking of the pictures. Incl
dentally, it is said hat Mccoy has an in
terest in the Hawthorne club, and as the
willy Kid is likely to get a bit Of the, profits
II the bout is pulled off, this, too, looks a
bit queer. Corbett is a foxy sort of a guy
himself, and he is not likely, under the
present financial stress under which he is
laboring, to have passed up so long a chance
to pick after a $780, 900 note, unless he had
a chance to work an extra graft himself.
After all, though, the fight may be on the
square, and if it should be it will certainly
be a great battle.

Spike" Sullivan's match with Lavigne
still hangs fire, but the former says that
he is prepared to sign at any moment to box
Burgess victor, providing the latter places
S., 900 on his chances to win. The Irish
American declines to box Lavigne for a
SO, 900 purse, claiming that a worlds cham
pionship contest is worth more money. If
Lavigne declines meeting the Celt he in
tends keeping on defeating lightweights and
further prove his claim to the championship
title. Spike also adds that he would not
be adverse to leasing the Lenox club for his
battle with Lavigne, providing Manager
O'Rourke would interpose no objection.

While Admiral SIMPSONS fleet is cruising
in Cuban waters, looking for more Spaniards
to annihilate, Tom Sharkey, the f1stic off
spring of the navy, is in New York with a
chip on his shoulder daring any and all
heavies to knock 1t off. Corbett, Mccoy,
Jeffries and Maher are all within hailing
distance, but seek not the sailors game.
Broadway with all the airs of a victorious
man of war and without danger of a call.
None of the above heavyweights seem eager
to try conclusions with Sharkey. To tell
the truth, he is too tough a proposition to
tackle, and the a%spirants for Fits title
are all seeking the softest road to his crown.
The sailor, with his bull-like style of fight
ing, and his crushing strength, is given a
wide berth, and no doubt certain heavy
weights would be tickled il Tom grew dis
gusted and started to lick the Spaniards.
Decrepit old Joe Goddard is the only fighter
who seems willing to have a try at Sharkey,
and we will soon hear of the latter giving
the Barrier man another beating. No doubt
Goddard thinks the losers end of the purse
a sweet morsel these days. He certainly
cannot lose anything, and he might get in
on Tom such a punch as he did on Maher
in their second skirmish. But this is only
a remote possibility. Sharkey has become
so hard up that he has come out with an
offer to meet both Corbett and Mccoy in
limited round goes, but up to the present
time has received no response.

The reorganization of the Western league
circuit for another year, even II no more
changes are made this year. is a ~puzzling
problem that faces it's members, The Co
lumbus and st. Joseph teams will no doubt
have other permanent homes by. another
season, and there is another matter that
may make a change. The Cleveland team
in the National league will unquestionably
,be removed to some other city before next
season and indianapolis is about the most
prominently mentioned place Just now. for
Buffalo can hardly stand for an Eastern
league team as 1t is. In that case the West
ern league would have to seek three new
cities and would have to consider the ques-
ton. perhaps, of trying Cleveland. The Ma
tional league can make 1t surrender Indian
apolis October /. There has been considera-
ole talk OF Il breakup of the Eastern league
circuit and OF Western league teams going to
Buffalo and Toronto, but 1t is likely to re-
main just what il now is-mere talk. The
Eastern league may quit before finishing this
season, but 1t will hardly do so without
some guarantee as to its territory being re-
served under protection Of the big league.
Already the Western league magnates have
shown their disposition 10 cooperate with
the Eastern league owners in preserving
their holdings, for they have agreed to leave
their players alone now that salaries have
been cut, except in cases, Of course. where
releases have been given.

The Startling Extravagances
 Of Count castellane
sseeesseesoeseesesose'

Count Castelane. he who distinguished himself by marrying Anna Gould and her millions, is amazing his French kindred with his wild and reckless expenditure Of hls wife's money His latest extravaganza is the purchase of a magnificent old palace at Verona, in order to secure certain artis- tic ceilings. An exchange thus comments on the idiosyncracies of the foolish French count:
 Paris regards the career of the little count with mingled awe and envy. when will it end, or are the Gould millions really einexhaustable? The Tallyrand-Perigords, the Valencays and all the other far-de- scended but needy relatives of the castei- lanes, weep and vail and gnash their teeth as they contemplate the dazzling and ever growing magnificence of the insignificant, small, pretty and pink-cheeked scion of the last named house.
 "The counts expenditures have certainly been enormous, and no one doubts that he has considerably strained the resources of his wife's great fortune. In justice it should be said that his money has to a consider able extent been spent on things worth having. man with millions can hardly do better than build a splendid house and buy fine pictures.
 ''Well informed persons have calculated that the counts expenditures within the last three years have been on greater scale than those of any private person in the world. In fact, they almost equal those of the czar of Russia, including the cost of the coronation ceremonies. The annual expenditure of those colossal but thrifty millionares, Cornelius Vanderbilt, William Waldorf Astor and John D. Rocke- feller sink into insignifcance beside those of the little count, Powder Puff George Gould, who had more millions than his sis ter, and is presumably engaged in aug menting them still is a quiet, economical citizen compared to his brother-in-law.
 His extravaganza dazzles the world and hurls defiance in the face of bankruptcy.
 s"Think of but three things he has done within the short space of three years-only three
 ''He has given the biggest and most cost ly entertainment known in Paris in this generation.
 "He is building the biggest mansion in that sity.
 '.He has owned the biggest sailing yacht afoat.

 And now he is tearing up an old palace simply to satisfy caprice to get at certain decorations within it to embellish the grand theater he is putting into his new one
 ''There is something peculiarly magnifi- cent and picturesque in his latest act. He has bought this splendid and historic pal ace merely for the sake of some painted walls inside of it. The fact that he does not need the palace, outside the paintings, is matter of no importance to him. When he has torn out the mural decorations the palace to him is so much old rubbish.
 "The count has shown taste in acquiring the paintings of Tiepolo. This artist was really belated descendant of the old Ital- ian masters, and especially of the great Venetian schoo'
