Mccoy and Ryan to Fight.

A dispatch from Louisville, Ky. says:
A match between Kid Mccoy and Aus
tralian Jimmy Ryan will in all PROBABLE
next three weeks. Mccoy is willing and
so is Ryan. Homer Selby. the Kids
brother and business manager, has writ
ten from Memphis to the kentucky Ath-
letic Club that if Ryan wins his fight
with McDonough the Kid will consent to
meet him here on May II, and will en-
deavor to stop the Australian in eighs
rounds. McCoy's terms We're agreeable
to the club, so Ryan signed articles
which We're forwarded to the Kid The
only condition is that Ryan dispose of
McDonough, and even this may not pre-
vent the match
George Sler will referee the bout. He
has been secured by the club for any gooG
match ii may make.
The Ryan-McDonough fight which viii:
come off on May 4, will thus have an ad-
ded interest, for Ryan will be anxious
to put his man out easily, and McDon-
ough is said to be hard game.
Louisville sports believe that Mccoy
is going up against one of the hardest
propositions yet when he tackles the Aus
tralian, and that if Ryan can get in one
of his terrible jolts, the Kid may be sur
prised. 1t is said that the easy manner
in which Ryan whipped Doc Payne, Nc
Coy's sparring partner is responsible for
his proposition TO fight Ryan, for he con-
siders the victory over his sparring part

York thinks Gleason too fast and hard
working for any comparison, and Pitts
burg talks highly of Dick Padden. AS a
matter of fact. the second baseman has
developed into a practically uniform
grade Of high-class efficiency, says the
st. Louis Star There are, of course,
gradations of batting and base-running
ability among them, as among all other
players but the field work of second base
has reached certain standard, and near
ly all the second basemen of the big
league have attained that high degree.
There is not the thickness of a piece Of
cardboard so far as fielding quality is
concerned, between Childs and Lowe,
Padden and Gleason, Reitz and Connor,

thing that the rest can accomplish. Nc

dispatch to The Times from St Louis
Of the National League met at the South
ern Hotel ON Saturday last and formally
organized by electing L. c. Keanthoff, of
Kansas City, president, and Louis
Kramer. of Cincinnati, secretary. A
lengthy report was made TO President
Young, the most important features of
which follow:
In all serious cases Of breach of the
rules the board shall be called in special
meeting at some convenient town and
the president shall also, if requested by
two members, notify the accused and ac-
cuser to be present in person or by
counsel, and that IN case accused or ac-
cuser is present the proceedings shall
be published. In ali cases considered
separately by members of the. board all
proceedings shall be confidential. After
the decision in any case is sent TO the
president the members of the board are
prohibited from discussing IT, If it shall
develop that the members shall arrive at
different conclusions in any case the
president, if he deems the case serious,
shall summon a special meeting of the
board before sending the findings of the
different members TO the president of the
league. In any case submitted on af-
fdavits the president, If requested by
any member, must investigate the char
actet Of the afidavits closely and shall
furnish copy of such affidavits to the
accused. The president Of the board
shall also have printed and sent to the
president of the League copies Of all
evidence and afiidavits in all cases.
The report winds up with the assur-
| ance that the board is determined to
vigorously enforce the Brush resolutions,
So much has been said about the in
| creased powers of the umpires this year
that the players have really become a
! trifle shy and as a result but few Of them
have attempted 10 talk back" at these

! IS as yet too early In the season to de-

Mr.. Cleveland referred to the action of
Stewart in advocating the measure that
suspended the Interstate Commerce
Act on the long and short haul as regards
Nevada, and Stewart may have some
difficulty i'll convincing the people of
oar State nat it is wise and polite to pay
Jack rates from Sacramento when 1t lays
in his power to have cut down those
rates.
On the morning of October Goth, the

One thing that helps Mr.. Cuttings
candidacy is the fact hat all the school

the most intelligent and hard working
superintendent of Public instruction
who was ever elected in Nevada. He
has substituted new for old methods, and

The Republican party which was once

In 1888, the HARRISON electors received
7,OSo votes, having a majority of nearly
two thousand oVert the Cleveland electors.
This large vote was due to u belief That
the Republican party was honest in It's

that the party was untrue and so two
years later, The Republican majority in
this State had fallen from two thousand
to about S0U.
Two years later, 1892, the righteous in

local questions cut quite a figure i'll the
