YOUNG CORBeTT NEXT

Having demonstrated his superiority
over Dave Sullivan as Terry McGovern
did In Is rounds at Louisville, Saturday
night, sporting men believe he is now
entitled TO an immediate match with

championship of the world. In disposing
OF the little Irish fighter, the same au-
thoritles says, McGovern has made IL
clear that he certainly is the next best
man TO the Denver lad, and possibly
better one
That Young Corbett will now have to
take cognizance OF any challenge address

the featherweight championship seems
certain. Failure To recognize deh from

BASEBALL COUP PLANNED

Both factions In the National Baseball
league are satisfied TO let the case that
Is now pending I'm the local supreme court
come TO trial before any further action is
taken. IL is certain that efforts are being
made to bring the case 10 speedy trial.
Both discordant elements now realize that
the National league will become but a
memory II something Is not done at once
10 give the organization standing with the
public
The belief grows stronger on the part
OF many well Informed baseball men that
some move is on foot by which the Gin
cinnati and New York clubs will become
members or the American leaguc, and
that the other two clubs OF the Freedman
faction Will be well taken care OF i'm case
the American league circuit is expanded
Undoubtedly. John T. Brush OF the Gin
cinnati club has been IN consultation with
American league officials and he has been
given full power to act for the organiza-
ton which he represents.
If the National league quarrel should
be settled, presumably no action OF this
kind would be taken, but the Freedman
clubs are laying the ROPES 20 protect
tinued TO a point where IL means hope
lessly bad season.
That the New York club could have
gained admission to the American league
last autumn is a fact, but Mr.. Freedman
refused 10 desert the National. He still
declines 10 discuss In any way the pos
sibility OF the New York club joining the
other organization. and his refusal TO
commit himself I'm the matter has led to
the belief that there is something more
than mere rumor to the story.
President Droyfuss OF the Pittsburg
baseball club received an important letter

President Dreyfuss denied emphatcally
