SEARS CAN HAVE 1T.
King, sacker of DInsdale, Willing to
Make Match With Lewiston Lad,

If Mike Sears of Lewiston wants a
match with John F. Dinsdale of this
city, he can have it easily. George P.
King, hacker Of Dinsdale, left yesteP-
day with the sporting editor of The Spy
$10O to bind match for $500 a side with
Sears. He will leave the money with
The Spy until July Is for the Sears
party to cover.
He will meet the Sears party at any
time between now and the 18th Of the
month in The Spy office to make ar
rangements. The weight which Mr..
King names is 126 pounds, give or take
two
There should be no trouble in making
a match between these lads. While
Dinsdale was in the ring in Lowell
waiting for the gutter from Boston,
Maurice Rosenberg, a telegram from
Sears was read offering to fight the
winner for a side bet Of $500 each.
King announced from the ring the same
evening that Dinsdale would fight
Sears. He took a business-like way
yesterday when he posted the money 10
bind the men
While Dinsdale was in training for
the match with Rosenberg, oVertures
were made by the Sears party for a
fight but no attention was paid to them
at the time. The Sears party may have
obtained the idea that Dinsdale didn't
care to take on the Lewiston lad, but
that idea is erroneous. Mr.. King had
every intention of making a match
when Dinsdale whipped Rosenberg,
which he confidently expected to do;
but he didn't care to mix up with one
match while he had an unfinished one
on his hands.
Mr.. King will pay no further atten-
tion to Rosenberg. The actions of the
latter stamp him as quitter when he
thinks he is up against stiff game.
There was more in the history of that
match and Rosenberg's failure to ap-
pear in the ring than was generally
known by the persons who gathered to
witness it. Rosenberg was foolish
enough to be drawn into a belief that
Dinsdale would allow him to win. That
was the only condition on which he
would agree to make the match. His
fear of Dinsdale is greater than the fear
little child has of the bogy man, and
when he saw Dinsdale intended to fight
to win, he refused to even enter the
hall, lest he be drawn into the ring.
Joe Flaherty is another Of Spike Sui
livan's victims. Sullivan is noted for
his sharp tricks, and one of them was
robbing Flaherty. Spike and his asso-
ciates in the management Of the fight
opened the ticket box, and the returns
were not commensurate with the size
Of the crowd. Flaherty got only $62
for his end of the purse. The entire
receipts of the house, according to the
returns after Spike got through with
the box, were slightly over 5000. Wor-
cester people who were present say
there was fully $1,000 in the house.

Ten Eyck and Lewis resumed train

brief rest Of one day, going over the
north course with James A Zen Eyck.
The champion hasn't had much to COM
pensate him for faithful training, but
his time is coming the last OF this

There are two senior singles, the

never held the championship or who
have never won the Association scuils,
AS the race is on the program for the

and IL they race at all, they must race
against Ten EycE.

The shower OF yesterday afternoon
kept the crowd at the lake down to
slight numbers. Last evening there
was big crowd present. The stsge
performance drew the crowd as was
apparent after its close, the number
remaining being very small. The per-
formers made up for their rest Of the
afternoon by giving the best show OF
the week.
There was private social at the
Frontenac club house last evening,
which furnished much amusement for
those who attended Dancing was in

served. A cakewa1k was arranged,
which was won by S. E. Masse and

which calls itself 1.-The Twelve Tempt

FRIsBeE INToWN.
Thinks He VIII Remain With the Cham
pions Rest of the Season.

Charlie Frisbee, center fielder of the
Bostons and player of the same posi-
ton with the Worcesters until a few
weeks ago, was in this city for few
hours yesterday. Boston had a day off
and Frisbee thought the Worcesters
would be here today. He was disap-
pointed when he learned they had gone
10 montreal on the evening previous,
and left earlier than he had intended
Frisbee is content with his new po-
sition, and thinks he will stay with
Boston the entire season. He said wi en-
he first Joined the team he did not feel
well, and things looked dark to him.
He did not get acquainted with his
new surroundings and wished he was
back in Worcester. Since then, how
ever, the other players of the Cham
pions have made matters pleasant for
him, and he would prefer to remain
with the team than return to Wor-
cester. He said when he started cut
with the big fellows, he didn't play as
he wished, which he attributed to his
illness. He has recovered entirely and
thinks he will be in the game all sea-
son. Frisbee said he never felt well
since coming to Worcester. He does
not know what to attribute his illness
to unless it was the change of drinking
water.
When asked if there was any chance
of rejoining the Worcester team this
season, he said he does not think there
is. He takes great interest in the win
ming gait which the team has struck,
and ardently wishes it will retain it. He
has the utmost confidence in the play
ing ability of the Worcesters, and said
he expects to see the team come back
in first position, the same as when it
left. Frisbee is particularly pleased
that Joe Harrington has been piayins
such a good game at short. Speaking
of that, he said he knew Harrington
would settle down to good work after
his streak of bad luck in the early part
of the season had ended.
He said the Bostons have PLAYED in
hard luck lately, and on that account
alone have lost a considerable number
of games. He predicts that the team
will strike a winning gait now that it
is at home, and will do itself Justice
from this time out. Frisbee thinks his
team will be in it's accustomed place
at the top at the end of the season.

HAD A TENDER HEART.
With All His Adversity He still Plted the
Cattle He Had Seen West.


Cattle He Had Seen West.
The fat butcher, clad in a crash suit
that concealed 200 pounds of suffering
humanity and absorbed small rivulets
of perspiration that trickled down the
back of his neck boarded a Chandler
street car at Lincoln square last night,
and took a seat beside The Spy man.
I'll tell yop," he said in course of
conversation, this weather affects the
quality OF meat as well as its sale. One
of the most narrowing sights ever saw
was out near st. Louis last week, A
carload of cattle, crowded beyond en-
durance and gazing out between narrow
bars was on It's way east, and the poor
creatures were suffering greatly from
the heat. l wonder what they would
have said if they had the gift of
speech. 1t must be unbearable to suf-
fer so and to be denied the power to
speak in protest"
Then a large shirt waist lady got in
and crowded The Spy man out, and
the conversation ceased. The car be-
gan to I'LL. At the big market up street
slim housewife got on with the legal
quota of bundles and from a pound of
tripe, two or three gallons of brine be-
gan to spot the fat butchers crash suit.
At Chandler street the woman that
had the family out for an airing got
aboard, apd while g 10-year-old propo-
sition walked on the big mans toes, a
two year old possibility wiped two tiny
little feet on the suit. He smiled ten
derly when a pretty white dress got
aboard, enclosing an 18-year-old bud
The butcher offered her his seat, but
the END seat hog stuck to his base, and
the white dress and the crash suit
crushed and brushed and wedged by
leach other. The butcher found room
for one foot on the running board, grew
red and perspired. The conductor
oYked contortion performance and
swung wide out into the air and landed
on. the sole foot that was getting any
return for the butchers nickel. The
meat man looked UP pathetically. He
tried to reach bis handkerchief to NOR
off the rivers of sweat that were flow
ing down beneath the neck Of the crash
vest. His hands were pinioned and he
worked his forehead over against his
arm and sought relief against the
crssh-covered arm.
Beyond the top Of the hill the butcher
alighted with The Spy man and re-
sumed conversation. Yes, sir it was
fearful" he said. What was?" asked
the scribe.
THAT carload of cattle. 1t was one
of the most narrowing sights I ever
beheld, and to think that they could not
for a minute tell what they thought
| about it. Well, ! suppose If they did
kick, it would do little good" And the
crash suit went down the street melt
ing with sympathy for the cattle.

"Ble DAN" GIVES UP.
Says He Has Seen His Best Days and is
Ready TO Quit the Game.

Big Dan Brouthers, for 20 years one of
the greatest batsmen of the country, has
retired from the national game. He is
the last of Detroits famous big Four"
of 1887. Brouthers resigned from the
Rochester team. He wrote Manager
Buckenberger as follows when he ten
dered his resignation: II am satisfied
that l have seen my best days on the
diamond, and am ready to quit. When
l received Manager Buckenberger's tele-
gram from Worcester, last week, asking
me to play on his team, l hesitated four
days before replying. finally decided
for Rochester; but / can't hit them
square on the nose as / did once. I know
that l am not satisfactory to the Roches-
ter team, and do not want you to keep
me moment longer.
II am going home to Wappinger's Falls
and run my neat little hotel, ! am mayor
of that town, too, and there l will spend
the rest of my days, reading the stories
of what the younger bloods are doing

Many of the Local Fans Regard His Re-
lease With Disfavor.

There was considerable criticism of
the management of the Worcesters yes
terday in baseball circles over the re-
lease of Billy O'Connor. O'Connor
played in seven games, in which he
MADE 20 putouts without an error He
was at bat "a times and got seven hits,
an average of .292. The only game in
which he failed to make hit was the
morning game at Providence, July 4.
he won that game, however, by MAX
ing bunt hit which caused a wild
throw, and Worcesters' two runs were
scored. He also won the game at the
oval Wednesday by making a single
when the score was tied, the bases full
and two men out
Manager Leonard released O'Connor
for weakness with the bat. The wisdom
OF the move is in question, because
OConnor is young player, and might
naturally be expected to improve, while
seen their best days.

yacht Shamrock grounded where she did
