THE DIAMOND.
NOTES CAUGHT FROM
 THE TRAINING C GROUNDS.

Tn the supreme court in Brooklyn yesterday application was made by Lawyer Sulllvan to have made more definite the complaint in the suit of Char.es Dunn, as assignee of the Nor folk base ball club against the Nation al Exhibition Co, otherwise known as the New York National base ball club, to recover $2,000 for an alleged breach of contract. Lawyer John M. Ward appeared for the plaintiff. The plain till alleges that the New York base ball club in 1900 agreed to pay the Norfolk club $2,000 for the release of Christy Matthewson, then the expert twir.er for the Norfolk club. If the work Of Matthewson was satisfactory the New York club was to pay the $2,OO0. 1t is alleged that Matthewson was a great success as a pitcher. for the New York club, but that at the end of the season he was released outright to the Cincinnati club. who in turn the fol lowing day traded him back for Rusie. Then the New York club refused to pay the $2,O0O. Matthewson is still member of the New York team In opposing the motion to make the com plaint more definite, Lawyer Ward said: "Matthewson is the greatest pitcher in America. There is nothing the matter with the complaint only that the opposing counsel wants de- lay" John said Justice Keogh, II think your complaint Is all right, and will deny the motion"

Sam Bolen Whips a Heavy Weight-ncC Coy Ready for Placke and Challenges FitzSimmons. -s,

sam, Bolen, the veteran colored feather weight, who formerly trained Tn this city, and who has been fighting nearly a dozen years, added another
 fight to his long list by whipping Ed smith of Baltimore in fast six round bout at Chester, Pa, on Monday night. Bolen had his man sized up in the first round, and easily gor the verdict at the end. The only thing in favor of smith is that he can take a sound thrashing. Bolen administered this in fine style. Tn the second round Bolen swung with the right and put Smith down with a smash on the jaw. Smith got up and sailed into Bolen. With a wild swing on the ear he knocked Sam to the floor and had the latter almost to the bad when the gong sounded. In the succeeding rounds Bolen made Smith look like a novice with straight lefts and right uppercuts. Smith dropped often to avoid punish ment. and was hissed by the crowd. Tn the final round Smith was -N>arly finished A crack, on the mouth with the right, followed by left smash is the stomach sent him reeling to the the right, followed by left smash to follow up his advantage the round end ed. It was a fierce fight throughout and one of the best witnessed in Chester in yearss.

The above letter is manly and straightforward one, and there is no doubt but that the public of this city will appreciate what Manager Lawlor has done. It is almost certain that every seat. in the hall will be taken, and they should be, because whether
 Kelly wrestles or not the management has secured good man to meet Cnaki. Either George Bothner or the Cuban Wonder will make hustling match, and credit is also due to Manager Dick Howell for allowing his man to go against either one of the two men toned. As he says himself. he believes Cnaki can defeat any man of his weight in this country and he will ask no better opportunity to prove it than to pit him against Bothner or the 'Cu- ban Wonder" Manager Lawlor, who has gone to considerable expense, could have fooled the public if he wanted to by keeping Keliy's injury secret and not announce it until tomorrow nig--t. He has proven himself gentleman and a true sport, and every man in this city who believes in straightforwa ness should be his friend tomorrow night and pack the old City hall from top to bottom. The two preliminaries will be good ones.
