Clarke Griffith, the American leaguer, has gone to Boston ssThe American league will not go to New York this season." he told the Hub folks. He expects to have a talk with unsigned National league players in Boston
 Referring to the Ewing school of base ball, Anson said: "Spalding want ed to endow an Anson school. His idea was to move me out on some Gf the vacant land and start a training school that would boom both game and real estate. I have a draft of the prospectus that was never issued. It is quite curiosity.'
 T don't believe either Kelley or Davis has signed with the American league" says Ned Hanlon. .sWi:at would be the advantage to them of signing at this early day? They won't gain anything by it. I hear that Dah- len wants S200 more than we offered him. That is right sc far as it goes. but the fact is we offered Bill S2OU more than he got last season. Dal wanted an increase of S4O0 and we offered to split that amount. We want all our old players with us next year and are willing to do the right thing: but We know just what we can afford to give in the way of salaries and win not give cent more than the amounts we have agreed upon. We want all the men back next year, but are wplf fortified should they decide to leave us. We have lot of men signed al- ready, plenty of material for d team next spring."

gether at New London on October "A in a twenty round essay
 Dal Hawkins, the clev1r California lightweight. who figured in several in- teresting lights in the east, has. been matched to meet Nose La Fontise at Butte, Mon, tonight in twenty round '.go'' before the Olympic A. c. La Fontise is regarded as the best man in his class ill the west just now and a not mill is expected.
 The sports are much interested in the outcome of to-night's battle be tween Joe Walcott and Kid Carter, which is to be decided before the Twentieth Century A. C., San Fran cisco. The two are to have it out for twenty rounds. Owing to a previous understanding the purse is to be equally divided no matter what the result may be. This will be the sec ond meeting between the two. The two clashed at Hartford last January and Carter received the verdict on a foul.
 Jack O'Brien, the Philadelphia mid work in England. Recently he con- tracted to meet two men in one ring on the same night in ten rounds each or forfeit $125. The affair took place before the Leeds and County Athletic club. Harry Smith of Birmingham was O'Brien's first opponent. The American won in one minute and a half. O'Brien next tackled Cock Robin of Belfast O'Brien had Robin staggering all over the ring in the sec ond round and in the third he knocked his rival out with left in the wind.

The Two Leagues are Not Having
 Very Smooth Sailing.

The TWO Leagues are Not Having
 Very Smooth Sailing.
 There is more than chance that the National and New England, otherwise the American, polo leagues will coa- solidate at meeting to be held to- night in Boston, says the Brockton En- terprise.
 William A. Parsons wants to get his league into combination with the Ma tlonal men, and at meeting of the latter held Sunday at Clinton notice to that effect was received from him. The American league has evidently failed to complete it's circuit. Every effort has been made by tne American people to turn Coughlin of Clinton and get him into their ranks. Parsons, Harlow and Flanagan all sent him long messages by phone aud Flanagan special delivery letter, but | Coughlin remained obdurate. Parsons would welcome Clinton anl | Brockton, but he has no use for two other places that are on the National | list, namely, Woonsocket and Hudson. The National people have installed 1 Secretary Upton, at Hudson, however, | and will insist on his retention in the league. He will have. it is said, the l bulk of last seasons Plymouth team. Woonsocket is also slated to go into the business in the old opera house. where repairs are to be made ana where Player Generoux will be the To- cal magnate
 There is also a story that the old Bay State rink at Chelsea has been se- cured for team that will go into the National
 Secretary Upton has. secured al bunch of contracts with players for the Ma | tionals five teams.
 There seems to be feeling that Ply mouth will not start with the rest of the clubs in either league till later in the season. There is also talk of Mil ford going into the American league.
 The Nationals will start with five teams on November g. Gnless a con- solidation is effected. Brockton. Clin- ton, Hudson, Woonsocket and Chelsea are the National teams, and Salem. Lawrence, Lowell, Lewiston and Port land, Me, are the New Englanders, with a possibility that Plymouth and Milford will be in the circuit some time in the season. Some players are being secured. but everything is tenta- tive pending the result of the confer ence.
 Talking about trusts, what do you think of Gentle Willie Parsons in the American Polo 1eague-which was the New England until Friday night? The smooth and smiling one now has Law renee; announces that he is to put team into Huntington hall, Lowell, and is the packer of Tom Cotter in the Sa- lem venture. Really, all joking aside, what fun can there be in watching the games in a league where there are three sets of players employed by one man, without the least care as to who wins as long as the money comes in at the box office? Syndicate polo and syndicate base ball are bad for the games, and they ought not to be per- mitted. But these things ought to reg ulate themselves to a. certain extent. When the people of one of Willie's towns realize that they are being played to lose to. some other town on the smooth hne's circuit. will there Dc a howl or will there not7

Davis was the first to respond, and 1t looks as though he will joins the iIl- surgents. Indeed he will have every reason for doing so, as the New Tork club will not accede to his demandrOI $1,000 increase in salary. William : Keeler and Dahlen of the champions are now negotiating with the enemy, and may join the American league llll- less the Brooklyn club decides to give them the pay they ask. While tue American leaguers are having the field to themselves, apparently, the National league magnateS are not idle by any means. They do not usually enter into a battle with flags flying and publici- ty committee at their head. They are laying plans for defense, and when they finally show their hand the Amer ican leaguers will be glad to retreat from New York. The main reason why the American league wants to es- tablish it's headquarters in New York is to induce Andrew Freedman to join the American league. It is a patent fact that the National league would have losing fight on it's hands if the New York club deserted, and the en- emy must realize that without a club in New York the American league can never be rated on par with the Ma tional league. It would be a simple enough task to place a club in New York if grounds were available It was reported a few days ago that grounds could be had on Fifty-ninrh street near the North river, but tue American league men admit that it is very doubtful if the local authorities would permit two square blocks to be fenced in.
 President Young of the National League and American Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs has made public the batting records of those league players who took part in fifteen or more championship games during the past season. The first ten men and their records are as follows:

bers, resumed practice as usual or E South Field yesterday. Morley Is nursing a sore back and A. Boyese1 and Smythe have sprained legs. Bruce and Ache did not appear on the field but Weekes, Irvine. Van Hoevenburg Fisher. Goodman, Laucon and Woelif who played against Harvard, were on band Captain Berrien also joined the squad The side lines were de serted and the wet ball made fumDles freauent. Sanford took Laucon, the big guard, in hand personally and he was the sorest man on the field when the practice was ended.
 Syracuse. Oct 15.-Head Coach B. R. Sweetland yesterday resigned as coacn of the University of Syracuse ana leIt to coach the team at Hamilton college. The action of Sweetland was on ac- count of a statement which appeared after the game with Lafayette to the effect that he had coached from the side lines during the game. This was written by a student. Sweetland will come back. it is stated, if the stu dents as a body, the faculty and ath-
 
 Ietic authorities of the university repu- diate the statement at mass meetlng. A mass meeting was held yesterday at which the statement was discussed and meeting will be held later to take action.
 .Middletown, Conn, Oct 15.--Wesley- ans vision of the pennant this year IS fast fading, Captain Inglls, Who was injured at New Haven, has water on the knee and will probably not De able to play again for some time, Ii at all this season. Thompson, also in- jured in the Yale game, will not be in the game again this year. With these two great line buckers gone Wes- leyan has very weak back field. The line fails to show any of the steady work that was so marked during last season. The whole team plays life less game which does not argue well for the future. The loss of Captain Inglis has some tendency to discourage the men doubtlessly, but oyerWork may have more to do with it.

ANOTHER CHALLENGE.
John B. Kelly Gets After Jim Gilli- gan, the Massachusetts Lightweight.

John B. Kelly Gets After Jim Gilli-
 gan, the Massachusetts Lightweight.
 John B. Kelly, Waterbury's cham pion wrestler, was a caller at the Dem ocrat office yesterday and he wants Jim Gilligan's scalp right away. He will meet Gilligan within two weeks or ten days or any time that is suit able to the Massachusetts wrestler at 13S pounds, weigh in at the ringside. He will wrestle him for any part of $50 and would prefer to have the match take place in this city. He has sent an answer to MT Gilligan's challenge and would like speedy re ply. Kelly says he will meet any of the wrestlers at 13S pounds but pre- fers to know who he is wrestling. A few days ago one of the Brockton pa pers had an item about Kelly which somewhat reflected on his ability as a wrestler. Kelly says that he can not understand why this item should be published when some weeks ago he issued a challenge to the champion of Brockton, John Little. to wrestle him at 13S pounds and this challenge re- mained unanswered Perhaps Little is looking for easy marks" says Kelly, ''and does not want any of my game" However, if he makes this match with Gilligan and it is pulled off all right, he will be ready for Little at 13S pounds.

BASE BALL TALK.

Everything points to a lively battle between the National and American leagues this winter. The enemy, which is the way the National league mag mates refer to the American league forces, are at present in camp at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Clark Griffith and J. J. McGraw are in command ir the absence of Ban Johnson, the con- mander-in-chief, who, however, is n telegraphic communication with the camp. Just at present Griffith and McGraw are trying to gather in all the National league players in and around New York. By offers of lucrative sal aries they have attracted many of the National league stars to the camp.

 Harvey Parker, the "Yankee won- der. who is meeting all corners at Miners Bowery theater, last night struck a Tartar in Leo Pardello. the Italian champion. Parker undertook to throw PardelIo in fifteen minutes. but failed, and in consequence his man. ager, Johnny Dunn, was forced to for felt $25.
 The match between George Bothner of the Pastime A. C. and Jack McCor- mack of Philadelphia, which was 10 have taken place last night at Turn hall, Eighty-fifth street and Lexington avenue, New York, did not come off. A large crowd gathered long before the doors were opened and were visi- bly, chagrined when the announcement came that the affair had been post poned until next Monday night. 1t appears that the management was ull- albe to secure a license.. Both men were in fine condition and will keep on training. The match is for $250 side, best two out of three falls to count. Dan Mcleod, who will meet Jenkins in Cleveland during the first week ir October, left Thursday for Mt Clemens to start training for the, contest. Be fore leaving he stated that he was more than confident he could defeat Jenkins. q don't see Where Jenkins gets his reputation.'' said Mcleod flor was not pleased with his show ing against Rooney. Of course he is
 good man, but had Rooney been il the best of shape, think it would have gone the other way When ] meet Jenkins in Cleveland, the result will be different
 Herman Wolf. the amateur cham pion. who has taken the management of Harvey Parker for Pennsylvania called at the Record office and said he would back Parker to wrestle any man in the world under 150 pounds for S5OC to $1, 900 a side or he would match him against any wrestler in Philadelphia at any weight Parker has been re markedly successful He defeated Ernest Roeber in Boston, although Roeber weighed 60 pounds more than Parker. He has just returned from England where he had three matches and was victorious each time. He is splendidly built young fellow, who takes excellent care of himself, as he neither smokes nor drinks.-Philadel- phia Record.

Sporting Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-Some time ago Frank Hallett of New Haven issued a chal- lenge to Harry Galway of this city to stop him in six rounds for any amount of money. He also stated in his challenge that he was willing to meet any man in the state at 130 pounds. If he is still of the same mind, I will back man in this city against him at 130 pounds and will be ready to put up any amount of money he desires. A speedy answer to this challenge is de sired and man and money can be found with me when Mir Hallett calls.
