PRAISE FOR COOLEY.
The Pirates Think the Topeka Ball
Player Will Fill the Bill.

Pittsburg, May 2.-Dick Cooley will
play his first game with the Pirates
Wednesday. Cooley was not in good
condition last season, for no other rea-
son than that his habits were irregular.
In FEBRUARY he went to Hot Springs,
and was much improved by his two
months stay there. Cooley has always
been a good striker and run-getter, but
he was not a wonder at first for Phil
adelphia. Cooley's value to Pittsburg
will depend entirely upon his habits.
When he behaves himself he is a star,
and there is evidence in the trip to Hot
Springs that he has turned over new
leaf. Pat Tebeau, Donovan and others,
upon their return from the resort a few
weeks ago, reported that he seemed
like different man. Cooley's speciality
is run-getting, and, if right, he would
fit in nicely with Clark's bunch of base
runners. Last season was one of his
worst, but even then he batted at a $50
clip, made ia hits and scored rs runs in
"a games. In 1898 he scored 122 runs.

FAILS TO ACT ON BOXING.
New York Police Board Leaves Fate
of the Sport Undecided.


New York. May 2.-The fate of box
ing in New York between now and Sep
TENDER l. when the anti-hghting bill
takes effect, remains undecided. The
police commissioners held their regular
meeting today and. contrary to expec-
tations, failed to take any action rela-
tive to the applications for boxing IL
censes made by the local clubs
All the licenses issued by the police
board expired at midnight last night
and it was expected that the commits
sioners would dispose of the matter one
way or the other, and their failure to do
so is not easily understood by sports
men.
The local fight promoters are anxious
to know just what the authorities in
tend to do. Those well informed are
confident that the clubs will secure the
necessary sanction. but they are at d
loss to understand the present delay.
Another meeting probably will be held
tomorrow, when the applications are
likely to be disposed of one way or the
other.
A well known sporting man said that
he was certain that fighting in this city
would be continued at least at one club
until September I. The Broadway club
is said to be the only one which will be
favored with a license.
