Base Ball BrevitieS.

N RESIDENT JAMES FRANKLIN,
of the Buffalo American League
team, has some very nice things
to say about Frank Dillon, who played
first base in this city last season and
afterward covered first bag in Buffalo.
Dillon, as will be remembered, was
secured by the Pittsburg National
Leaguers toward the close of the sea-
son, and recently was released to De-
troit. In speaking of Dillon President
Franklin, recently said: There is one
thing | am sorry for, however, and
that is the selling of Dillon to Detroit.
If | had known that Dillon was 70
sale. l would have sold Carey for that
$4,000 offered by National League
team for him, and nailed the man l sold
To Pittsburg. That shows how much
Dreyfuss of that club knows about
player The first day that Dreyfuss
saw Dillon in a uniform and without
giving him chance to show his worth,
he is reported to have said: THAT fel-
low is no ball player; he will never
do for us Ever afterward he kept on
the heels of poor Dillon until he finally
disposed of him to Detroit for $780,
Dillon is as good a man as ever held
down first base since the game was
first played. He is a good batter q
fast fielder, a very intelligent young
fellow, quick on his feet and always
ready to take advantage of any little
balk on the part of other players to
help his own team out. Stallings has
jewel in Dillon, and Dreyfuss will be
sorry he sold that player before the end
of the season."
Ed Delehanty is playing a fine first
base for Philadelphia, and up to date
has accepted 1863 out of l75 chances.
At the bat he has made twenty singles,
four two basers, one three Dagger and
home run.

eagle Eye Jake" Beckley leads the
National League so far with the stick.
Old Jacob is batting at terrible rate
and has been the terror of every pitch
er he has faced this season.
Frank Ward, odd as it seems, will be
played in the outfield by Barnie at
Hartford. Barnie is short an outfielder
and has been forced to play Catcher
Urquhart in left field. Ward seems
rather heavy to make a very fast out
fielder, but still his batting powers
will add considerable strength to the
team.
Bill Massey is playing first base for
Hartford, and is both batting and field

Richmond. is catching for the team.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 1.-THE Popu-
list new national committee met here
today.
After an animated discussion, in
which every phase of the coming cam
paign was gone over, Senator Butler
was reelected chairman of the ma

seven in a total vote of seventy-six.
Chairman Butler will make his head =

Senator Butler accepted the position
again officially on condition that a

the work. This position will likely go
to George f. Edmiston, of Nebraska.

What the Contestants Say.

Coney Island, May 11.-"What is the
use of talking now?" said Corbett, when
seen in his dressing room after the
battle. 81 lost, and although l don't
know how it happened, l guess it was
all right. / have no kick to make, but
would like to have another chance IL
Mr.. Jeffries will accord me the privi-
lege, which l think nearly every one
who saw the fight will say is due me-"
Referee Charley White said: There
was never a squarer nor fairer ring
contest. Both men fought fairly, and
lived up to the rules. From his show
ing tonight, Corbett has more than a
look in with the best of them"
Jeffries was very reticent. He said:
"Corbett gave me the best fight of my
career, and was really a surprise. I
thought ! should have whipped him
sooner, and 1 think that L would have
had my left arm not given out early in
the fight. Jim gave me a game fight,
and l don't now wish to detract in the
| least from his credit, but am still the
champion, and will go along the line
| until trim them ALL"

both fighting fast and hard. Suddenly
there was a report of n sharp blow
and Corbett dropped. The excited
spectators sprang to their feet and
for a moment there were roars and
calls. The confusion was but momen-
tary. however. and in silence that
was most remarkable, the fallen fighter
was carried to his corner. Some one
