league. the Fcrt Wayne friends OF
Louis Criger think he will not be the
star catcher of the Cleveland sluggers
next season, says a Fort Wayne ex-
change. They think that sSchrek"
will catch Just as we'll. get them down
to the bases just as accurately and as
speedily, and hit the ball oftener than
Louis. The knowing ones claim that
the new man will be a great find at
the bat for beginner in the big
league. He is a great fighter in a game
and has lots of ginger, and with such
men behind him as the Cleveland men
he will be as good a catcher as there
will be in the big league next year.
Criger, however, is improving at the
bat, and promises to give Schrecongost
a run for honors when he gets his bat
ting clothes on. Schrecongost played
several games in Wheeling the latter
part of last season with New Castle
and is clever man.

SPORTING MATTERS

"Pringle" had the following in yes
terday's Pittsburg Dispatch:
There was another fight during the
week that was of more than ordinary
Importance. That was the contest be-
tween Oscar Gardner and Dave Sulli-
van. In this instance as well as in
the Sharkey-McCoy affair, the talent
got wrong, for the favorite was beaten.
There was never any doubt in my
mind as to the outcome of the Gardner
and Sullivan contest The perform
ance of the two men against Dixon
made it clear that Gardner is a much
better fighter than Sullivan, and when
they met last Monday night, Gardner
soon demonstrated that he was su-
perior to the lad from Boston.
Gardner showed that he is a real
fighter, and he also showed that if he
and Dixon meet again, the latter may
meet his downfall. The general opin-
ion of those who saw the Gardner and
Dixon contest is that the event should
have been declared a draw. Sullivan
had no show at all against Dixon, and
Gardner easily disposed of Sullivan al
so. Dixon will not be a bit better
when he meets Gardner again than he
was when they last met, and it is like
ly that Gardner will be an improved
man in more ways than one.
1t looks as if the question of suprem-
acy among the little chaps in this coun-
try had narrowed itself down to Gard
ner and Dixon. The better of these
two lads would make a great contest
with Jordan, the Britisher. Were the
contests nowadays to be to finish, it
would look like a certainty for Gard
ner beating any of the little fighters
for he is naturally a finish fighter.
He is a little Sharkey, and these are
the kind of men who can outstay any
of the other class.
Gardner is busy little fellow, and
he is sure to have lots of contests with
third-raters before he meets a first
class man again. He gives all kinds a
chance, and when he is doing that he
is improving himself wonderfully. He
deserves to succeed, and he seems to
be on the high way to the champion
ship.

1T WENT CHEAP.

The base bill park, including the
fence, grand stand and lease, at Spring
field, O., was sold Saturday by the
sheriff for s94 to John Coleman, one
of the old directors. The sale is the
outgrowth Of a suit brought by the
Mad River National Bank against the
old directors, to collect a $500 note
which the bank holds against the club.
The trustees, who took charge of the
club last fall, when it was ready to
quit, claim that the park was their
property, and they propose to replevin
it from Mr.. Coleman.

L
Henry Weldon, writing in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, says:
There is no use crying over split
milk" but there is some justice in Nc
Coy's claims that he was not treated
right. He was the victim of a little
bunco game. Sharkey agreed to fight
under certain rules. He signed articles
to fight under these rules. He should
have lived up to his agreement. Nc
Coy was decoyed into the match with
the understanding that the fight was to
be under these rules. When he reach
ed the ring side he had to fight under
the rules that the management of the
club dictated. That he had shade
the worst of it is evidenced by the fact
that the manager of the club was the
manager of the man he had to fight.
Hurst exceeded his powers as referee.
The men signed under certain articles.
and he was overofficious and not fair
in making them fight under other
rules.
Had the men fought under the artic-
les of agreement they signed Mccoy
would have won the fight in a canter.
1t is now too late for Mccoy to @hol-
ler.' He should have stood firm and
insisted on the fulfillment of his sign
ed contract. He made a mistake when
he allowed this power to go out of his
hands. He left the matter to Hurst,
and the latter ignored his claims, and
no matter what is said about an unfair
ruling he should have conducted the
fight under the articles.

BASE BALL NEWS.

The Pittsburg correspondent of the
st. Louis Sporting News has this in
teresting gossip about Interstate
League affairs:
There has been considerable talk
about certain towns dropping out, and
the admission of Wheeling. The ad-
mission of the latter city would doubt
less be hailed with delight by other
Interstate towns, but until some or
the present magnates show the white

BOXING NOTES.

Dan Stuart says he will offer a big
purse for a go between Fitzsimmons
and Mccoy.
Gus Rubin says he will challenge
either Maher, Sharkey or Mccoy in a
few days.
Billy Murphy will fight Casper Leon
before the Peoples Athletic Club Gin
cinnati, tonight.
George Kirnan has been matched to
fight Joe Cans. before the Lenox Ath-
letic Club, New York. The date has
not been fixed.
Tom Sharkey is going to tour the
country with a theatrical company, ac-
coWpanied by Bob Armstrong, his
spAgring partner.
KN Mccoy left New York last night

and expects to be in the best of con-
dition for his go with Joe Walcott on
February LIST. The men will box ten
rounds before a local athletic club on
that date. The contest will be at
catch weights, but Ryan says he will
probably weigh in at 155 pounds.
At last Joe Cans has found a man he
can knock out. He put Baltimore
amateur to sleep the other night.
Cans is a good fighter and has gained
a great many decisions. Knockouts in
two rounds are few and far between.
The fighting public has very little use
for fighters who fight simply to get a
decision. A fighter who is a finisher,
and who scores victories of the knock
out kind, is the kind of a fighter who
is in demand at the present day.
Tuesday night at Marietta, under the
auspices of the Marietta Athletic Club,
Chick Brooker, the clever little 100
pound boxer, of Newport, will go
against Joe Drummer, of Parkersburg,
for a fifteen-round glove contest for
decision. Brooker will finish up his
training to-day and expects to leave
for Marietta this evening. The con-
test is attracting great interest at
Marietta, and it is expected that a
large crowd of sports from that section
will turn out to see the go.
4 New York telegram says: At a
special meeting of the Directors of the
Lenox Athletic Club Saturday it was
voted not to entertain any
proposition from Robert Fitz-
simmons, champion heavyweight
pugilist, looking to contest be-
tween him and Sharkey under the
auspices of the club. Tom O'Rourke,
Sharkey's manager. then announced
that if Fitzsimmons could find club
willing to give satisfactory purse, and
guarantee it, Sharkey would fight, and
Fitzsimmons' forfeit would then be
covered.
A Dayton, O., telegram is as follows:
An effort will be made, it is said, to
have Bob Fftzsimmons and his man
ager, Martin Julian, appear on Febru-
airy LIST before Magistrate McKeown, of
this city, for the hearing of the case in
which Mrs. Carrie Ritzie, of Dayton,
brought suit to recover 500 damages
sustained. At that time it is reported
that the champion will be in Cinci1-

MAKES NO EXCUSES.

New York Sun.
Dave Sullivan, who was put to sleep
by Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid"
on last Monday night, takes his defeat
philosophically, and, unlike some pugi-
| lists, makes no excuses.
Il never believed before" said the
little featherweight yesterday, chat a
man in my class could hit such DOW
erful blow as Gardner gave me. He
can punch as hard as middleweight
and is one of the craftiest fighters
ever met. | believe he will whip
George Dixon if they ever meet again,
for, in time. he is bound to be the
featherweight champion of the world
He is matched to meet Solly Smith
The latter will give him a hard fight
but Gardner ought to beat him easily
If he could fight 'Pedlar' Palmer in this
country, the Kid would win, but if he
meets Palmer at the National Sporting
Club, London, he will be up against a
hard game. There the rules prohibit
the referee from declaring draws He
must give a decision, and as Palmer is
under contract to do all his fighting be-
fore that club, he naturally receives an
advantage. 1t is also against the rules
to fight a man on the ropes That
would be a disadvantage to Gardner,
who is at his best when ne has his op-
ponent in this predicament When |
fought Palmer at the National Sporting
Club l found this out. Whenever
had 'Pedlar' in trouble, he simply
backed into the ropes and stayed there
until he was all right. At the end of
the twelfth round, Referee Angle said
to me:
Dave, me boy, this as been a
blooming good bout, don't you know,
and hits about even up. Now l should
advise you not to it Palmer on the
ropes, ye know, for it might make you
deuced unpopular, ye know, and Id
have to disqualify you. So box fair,
me boy, and let's have a fair contest
81 had the better of the fight at
that, but Palmer got the decision. l
want to say, though, that 'Pedlar' is
the cleverest boxer in the world Dur
ing the first five rounds I couldn't see
him, he was so fast on his feet. His
defense was superb, but he is not hard
hitter. l can beat him over here, and
so can Gardner. Gardner, by the way,
sprung new trick on me that is a
beauty. When we got to close quar-
tiers he in some way pulled me to him
with his foot, which he twisted quick
ly around my ankle and then shot in a
bunch that made me see stars. His
style is puzzling, but he is scientific and
an awful walloper'
Sullivan believes that his brother
Spike, can beat any of the lightweights.
He says when Spike knocked Dial Haw-
kins out he beat the best lightweight
outside of Lavigne.

for West Baden Springs, but will stop
off in Buffalo for a day or two, and al
so in Indianapolis.
Tommy Disken wants to meet the
winner of the Bezenah-Wise fight at
Dayton or any 120-pound man in the
country.
The ten-rouund fight at Indianapolis
Saturday night, between Eugene Be-
zenah and Jimmie Murray, was little
tame. The decision was a draw.
The Lenox Club has refused to offer
a purse for Corbett to meet Sharkey or
Fitzsimmons, but it will offer a purse
for Corbett and Mccoy.
O'Rourke says he has decided to
cover Fitzsimmon's $4,000, and that
Sharkey will give him an early fight,
probably in eight weeks after the ar
ticles are signed.
The challenge issued to Sharkey by
Tom Jefries will not be considered.
Sharkey says he does not consider JEFF
fries seriously, and that he ought to
fight Maher or Corbett and get repu
tation.
Inc F1nnegan-C go comes
Off tonight before the Pittsburg Ath-
letic Club. 1t will be heavyweight af-
fair, and several Wheeling people will
go up, as Finnegan formerly lived in
this city and has many friends here.
A local paper, which is always yell
ing itself black in the face about it's
news service, yesterday reprinted from
the Plttsburg Times some things about
Oscar Gardner which the Times took
from the Register one day last week.
Tom Sharkey is one prize fighter who
never forgets his parents. Every time
he wins battle he send the "old folks"
a part of the purse, and Saturday he
dld little better than he has ever done
before. He sent to Ireland draft for
$4,000, a sum which will make the elder
Sharkeys feel easy for the rest of their
days. The sailor expects to visit his
parents at no distant date.
word has been received from Aus
trallan Jimmy Ryan stating that he
has gone into training at Hot Springs

ening to take action upon the condi-
tion of the Fifth Ward school build

The Register Of yesterday gave the
result of Architect Giesey's examlna-
