this will only be another case of history

that he is confident of winning and uses
the argument that he has performed eV-

Yesterday two figures swathed in sweat
ers and shod in spiked shoes We're seen
prancing around the ball park like a
couple of blue-ribbon two-year-olds. They
were Tom Brown and Win Mercer taking
q little warming-up exercise before the
preliminary practice begins. This pair
will be joined by the arrivals during the
week and by Saturday there will be a
crowd of them racing around the reserve.
The recruits and veterans will be drop

next few days, and on Monday, when the
real practice begins, there viii be quite

to report on Saturday so that they might
get good rest for the practice work on
Monday.

Manager Brown, Il think we will put the
strongest team in the field this season
that has ever represented the capital in
the big league. In the box we will have
Mercer, Amole and Dineen as tried twirl-
ers who may be depended upon to go the
nine innings without going up in the air,
and all three are young men. who are

with hold-outs this year. and with the
exception of Doyle his has been a bed of
roses compared with some of the other
magnates. AT last reports Ned Hanlon

There is a story afloat that Ned Han
lon is not satisfied with the arrangement
of the schedule, and says that it Will cost
the Baltimore club twenty thousand dol
lars more than it did last season, and
that he is dickering with Wagner to
swap the Baltimore schedule for the
Washington one for consideration. Mr..
Wagner would doubtless be willing 10
take the Baltimore schedule and some
thousands of dollars in return for the
Washington arrangement of dates, thus
leaving Mr.. Hanlon some thousands OF
profit according to his own estimate. Bal
timore has been well treated in the ar
rangement of dates in the past, but the
1897 schedule must have been a mighty
good thing for them if it was worth
twenty thousand dollars more than the
dates allotted them for 1898.

The belief is gaining ground that the
Sharkey-Choynski battle last Friday night
was another case of the jobbery in box
ing matters for which the former has
made the Pacific Coast famous. Infor-
nation from Chicago says that sporting
men there are almost unanimous in the
opinion that Choynski was robbed There
can be no doubt that the sailor was in
better physical condition at the end of the
contest than Choynski, but his foul tao
ties throughout would have lost him the
fight long before it occurred in the arena
of an Eastern club. 1t would seem that
Sharkey's fouls in the ring are treated
as huge jokes by the referees Sharkey
sends a man through the ropes to the
floor and the crowd help him back into
the ring If he claims a foul he is told
to go in and fight. On the other hand,
the referees are near-sighted when an OPP
ponent hits the stocky Westerner any
place below the neck, and say he was
fouled The Fitzsimmons fight was a
sample of this. 1t is hardly likely that
any reputable club in the country will
ever give Sharkey a chance To mill in it's
arena. His reputation for unfair fighting
would transfer itself TO the club that
would admit him, and should he. by his
wrestling or rough style, kill or MAIN
anyone the entire boxing world would
feel the effects of it.

The Brooklyn fans are highly delighted
with the deal that gave them the oratori-
cal Mr. Tom Tucker and think that he
will wake up the owsoing Bridegrooms
more than anything short of an explosion
in Eastern Park. 7 Tucker is slated TO
cover first base and consequently there
is no worry in that city over the refusal
of LaChance to sign contract
with the Bridegrooms. LaChance has
been with the Brooklyn aggrega-
ton for many moons and may
be holding out for more salary or be-
cause he is tired of playing with the
club. If it is the latter cause the man
agement would probably sell him for
reasonable consideration as Anderson can
cover first base for the Brooklyns if
Tucker should in any way get put out of
the game.

At the park the grounds have been
worked into good condition. The bleach
ors and grandstand have been given a
the use of the fans. Unless the telegraph
companies come to terms with Mr.. Wag-
ner, however, the click of the telegraph
instruments will no longer be heard in his
baseball domains. He has declared war
against them and refuses to give them a
gold-mne privilege for a song. The COM
pany has thousands of tickers through
out the country for which they are paid
good prices and which, according to
some of the magnates, serve TO keep
many persons away from the games who
would otherwise attend Mr.. Wagner
thinks that he is entitled TO a fair division
of the spoils He has four other magnates
with him in this fight and they are pref
ty certain that the companies will come to
terms.
This is not the first time that the own
ers of clubs have demanded more money
from telegraph companies for the privi-
lege of ticking off the games in detail
according to Tom Brown. Some years
ago the wires were excluded from the
Louisville grounds. This did not phaze
the telegraph company at first, for they
erected tall pole just outside the
grounds, which one OF their operators as
cended and licked off the games from
his aerial perch. But the management
| rugged uD a canvas screen abreast this
pole that shut out the view of the on
high operator and checkmated all other
schemes until the company finally came

/ the bulletin boards in the city where re-
turns are received from the games go to
the grounds he will be big winner by the
move.
