"Corbett will endeavor to get even with
Fitzsimmons by proxy. He is going to
train Jeffries for his fight with the Aus
tralian. daily paper.
Now, Jeffries," says Corbett, I'll show
The way to make Fitz bite the dust;
I'll tell you these things, for l know you
Will place in me infinite trust.
Remember, l fought with the 'duffer'-
| learned many Things in the bout;
It's easy TO whip the big buffer,
And here's how to bring it about: ,
Don't think that the business is simple;
| did. but before L got through
I found that, instead of a pimple,
Ia tackled q d2rned Kangaroo.
Don't train with your mouth to avoid
harm,
With Fitz in the ring you must fight;
Look out for his dangerous left arm,
And also look out for the right.
And don't think you've got your man
Because he may kneel down to rest:
I recall, though my minds a bit fOggy,
FitzsimmonS was then at his best.
And don't be q fool while you re smuggling.
They're others, you know; you're but
one;
Attempt no theatrical plugging,
Fight the best that is in you. my son
"And last, my dear J~effries. in season
And out, have 6n eye on my fate;
Bring 10 bear all your Judgment and rea-
Ere the hour for these things is too late.
I want you to whip the big fellow.
More vict'rieS for him sure would eX us;
Don't show up a broad streak of yellow.
Beware of the grim solar plexus."

The second meeting OF the young
gentlemen interested in the organiza-
ton of a boat club was held last night
in the Office of Mr.. w. A. Wilson. Tho
matter assumed tangible shape, a largo
part OF the stock was subscribed and

Messrs. Earl Adams. w. A. Wilson,
Frank Neill. Will Caldwell, Joe Speidel,
Kilbourne List, Arthur G. Hubbard, e.
n. Dwight and Bob Gilchrist.
The object is not to develop profess

est in the sport, which is both health-
full and enjoyable. Membership will DO

TO buy a boat house. to be located af

De fitted up for the comfort and con-
venience of the members and their
families. 1t will have facilities for
taking care of anvass shells and other
pleasure boats. 1t will also be equip
ped with dressing rooms.
The upper end Of the city Is perhaps the

Another successful week has been
added to the schedule of the Wheeling
tournament, which will be finished in
five more short weeks. The teams
made no changes in their respective
places in the race, only that the Bowl

more interesting and will be watched
with interest by the public. Last

and All Alike teams, of which the latter
won two games, much to the surprise

that reason only-in a word. that it is
the team that makes the manager and
not the manager the team. Fanlon has
proved the un-truthfulness of this. He
has the confidence and respect of his men,
two elements without which no manager
can be successful. He not only knows
how to make good men work well togeth-
er so as to pick out men rejected by
others and bring out the latent ability in
them and make them stars Of the first
magnitude. He IS the ideal leader of a

Another baseball season will open in a
few weeks, n The air is now filled with
all sorts of rumors. There has never been
a winter prior to the n just ended when
so many and such vast deals were put
through or attempted. For weeks past
baseball politics has been in a state of
effervescence, and the public has been
kept on the edge to know what would be
the next thing sprung by the magnates.
OF course the biggest coup was the
purchase OF the Baltimore club by Brook
Ign, thus giving to the latter city what
will probably prove to be the strongest
team in the League. 1t is more than
likely this season the Brooklyn team,
which will consist of the pick of the two
clubs, viii be able to give the Bostons a
fight that will be memorable in baseball
annals. Such being the case, it is of in
terest TO compare the relative strength of
the two teams.
The new Brooklyn outfield will consist
of Griffin, Jones and Keller. Against
them will be pitted Duffy, Hamilton and
Stahl. A regards Keller and Stahl, the
problem is easy. The former is the
Leagues champion bat and the best
fielder in his position in the country.
Griffin is d much better fielder than
Hamilton, whereas in other respects they
are about on even terms, with the Bean
Eater a shade the better base stealer.
Jones is a much better thrower and fielder
than the Boston captain and besides has
the advantage of being several years
younger. He has not had so much expert
ence in the League, being d comparative
newcomer in the ranks, but IS quicker
than his opponent. Duffy, however, at

park board was represented by PRESIDENT
Wheelock and the workhouse board by Col.
Monfort. Mr. Wheelock presented the reso-
luton heretofore adopted by the park board,
calling on the council to order the workhouse
board to prepare to move.
The workhouse directors, according to the
statements of COLI Monfort. seem to be of
the opinion that. the forty-acre tract is legal
1y under their control, Notwithstanding the
opinion of the corporation attorney, be dis
claimed any intention to oppose any action
the council might take in the matter, or to
prevent the taking of part of the tract
by the park board, IL the council desired the
park board to have 1t. He said. however.
that If all the tract but 1915 acres was taken
the workhouse will have to be provided for
elsewhere. as the whole forty acres are neces-
sary for the employment of the prison labor.
Mr.. Wheelock said that only two and one
half per cent of all work done by the work
house inmates Is done on the forty acres
left are sufficient The buildings only &C.
cupy about five or six acres The workhouse
was put there without authority, the action
Of the council being taken without consider
ing the question as to whether 1t mad any
authority in the premises or not. The work.
house directors cut from the land large
number of trees, which were worth more
to the ground than all the work that has
been done there by the prisoners. The work
of the convcts, he said, when compared with
employed labor is only worth 121s cents a
day. -
The members of the committee expressed
the opinion that, under the opinion Of the
corporation attorney the council has no au-
thority in the matter, and that they ought
not to assume any responsibility in the
premises The committee therefore refused
to report favorably on the resolution, and
decided to simply report that 1t was received
and placed on file.

What is Odd Fellowship" was the theme
well handled by Frank L. Powers P. S. NJ.

is a protective organization. 1t has discov-
cred how to make a brother entitled to aid
as matter of right and therefore it knows
how to aid a brother without humiliating
also social organization in the highest sense.
1t brings its members together in social in
tercourse and develops the hearts and char
acters of the brothers. 1t throws about them
restraining and elevating influence that
makes them better and more useful men.
But. above all, he said. Oddfellowship is
ITdLeFnal organization WHICH Cl1lQS all To-
gether in the bonds of noble brotherhood.
