GARDENERS FOLLY.

Oscar Gardner is fighting far too
often to suit his friends. The fire.
quency of his battles in the pugilistic
arena has caused many of his advisors
considerable alarm. AS matter of
fact, no serious results have followed
as yet, and it is the best judgment Of
the knowing ones that Oscar is fully
capable of defending himself against
any person in his class. He has fallen
into the error Of Over-cCnfidence and
sooner or later, if he continues his
present course, his reputation will be
given black aye by a knockout ad-
ministered by an inferior fighter. His
railroad jumps prevent him from go
ing through the proper course of train
ing, and his dates follow so thick and
fast that he does not have a chance
to recover from the effects of one battle
when he enters the ring for another.
Gardner compels admiration for his
pluck. Fighting is a business with
him, and he accepts any reasonable
proposition which is backed up by q
sufficient amount of money. Unfor-
tunately, weight concessions are en-
braced in his conception of the term
reasonable His friends wiz be
pleased to know that the folly of pur-
suing such a course while his star is
in the ascendencv has been brought to
Gardeners attention in such a way
that he has decided upon the rest and
TecuperatiOn he so badly needs He
received an ugly cut on the face in
his fight in Hartford few days ago.
His brother Eddie says that Oscar will
be home within few days to remain
inactive for about six weeks.

CONSOLIDATION EFFECTED.


New York, February 27.-The consol-
idation of the Brooklyn and Baltimore
base ball clubs was effected to-day.
w. G. Byrne, presented an indemnity
bond, as directed by the New Jersey
court, in order to protect the purchas-
ers of the sixty-one shares belonging
to his brothers estate, which are miss
ing.
Speaking the the southern trips Of
the Brooklyn and Baltimore teams,
Manager Ned Hanlon said that they
would leave for the South about the
goth of March. The Brooklyn players
will go to Augusta Ca, and the ORR
oles will get into shape at Macon, Ga.
The schedule meeting of the National
League will begin tomorrow at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Most of the rep
resentatives of the twelve clubs in the
League have arrived in town and
lively session is looked for. 1t is ex-
pected that the magnates will not get
through with their work before Satur-
day next, as questions of great moment
will have to be acted upon. The
changes in the rules as recommended
by the rules committee, will be pro-
ductive of much argument when they
are taken up and the question as to
whether Chris Won Der Abe or B. S.
Muckinfuss will be recognized as the
representative of the ST. Louis club,
will be the first matter to be settled
That Frank DeIIaas Robinson, of the
Cleveland club, will secure the st. Louis
franchise seems to be generally con-
ceded
None of the magnates will go on rec
ord as to whether the circuits will be
reduced to less than twelve clubs for
the coming year.. but the probabilities
are that even if a twelve-club schedule
is adopted, a circuit of less number
of clubs may be found necessary before
the playing season opens.
