Jack Doyle Wanted In PittsburE.

Barney Dreyfuss president of the Pitts
burg Base Ball Club, yesterday paid a visit
to his friend Andrew Freedman, president
of the New York club, in the latter city.
The two magnates had long confab be-
hind closed doors. When the Pittsburger
left he appeared to be satisfied with the re-
suits of the conference. .
But, as usual with league magnates his
answer to the question, Have you made
trade for players with Mr.. Freedman?'
was:
Il don't know anything about it. Fred
Clarke is manager of the Plttsburs ciub
and he gets the players"
Nevertheless it is known that Dreyfuss
is very anxious to secure the services OF
Jack Joyle to play first base for the Pi-
rates. Manager George Davis has been
quoted as saying that Doyle cannot be a
member of the New York team next sea-
son. Therefore trade involving the trans
fer os Williams Leach to New York in
exchange for Doyle IS more than likely to
be made. L. is Davis idea to play Charley
Hickman on first base if Doyle is traded.
Doyle is at present in Havana, where he
recently made a speech at banquet and
gave the Cubans a characteristic Jolly"
| Doyle dwelt on Ireland and it's struggle for
freedom, and also on Cuba; how badly the
| people of both Ireland and Cuba had been
| oppressed by England and Spain; that it
would be the happest moment of his life
when Ireland and Cuba should be free; that
the Irish and Cubans show the world that
| they could not only govern themselves, but
would show the world the greatest states
manship it had ever seen.

ly represent the Chicago Yacht Club in the

resentative.
George NJ Pynchon Benjamin Carpenter
and Morrill, Dunn, all OF whom sail the

Stiff Fight by Bonner and West.
Jack Bonner of Summit Hill, Pa. and
Dangerous Tommy West of New York
We're the stars of last nights show at the
Penn Art Club, Philadelphia. They prov,
poor drawing cards, less than LOCO fol-
lowers of the fancy being on hand.
The contest was a fast one and Bonner
showed some of his old-time dash through
out the six rounds and clearly bested the
New Yorker.
Bonner was the aggressor from the start
and forced West to put forth his best efforts
In the defensive line to get away from the
wicked swings and jolts that the miner
sent his way. Jack played for Tommys
stomach and body, landing some telling
blows. He also frequently turned his at
tention to Vests head and got home with
good results
West was always there. however and did
