TABLE OF PERCENTAaEs.
CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Important Meeting Held at the Sc
Joseph Rooms Last Night.

A very important meeting of the
City Amateur league was held last
night at the rooms of the st Joseph's
society and every team was repre-
scented. Before the meeting adjourned
d vote was passed in cemmemoration
OF the late James Kelly, the deceased
manager Of the Washington Hill Ath-
letie club. Considerable other bust
ness was transacted and before the
next meeting it will be definitely
known whether Sunday baseball will
be played or not. There is no inten-
ton of the managers of the City
Amateur league to attempt to go con-
tFaFy to the wishes of the city au-
thorities. They do not expect to have
the authorities "show their hand" as
has been announced. liz the game can
not be played on Sunday then the
league will try to arrange Saturday
schedule.
The rules in vogue last season were
adopted unanimously last night. This
will prevent all paid players from tax
ing part in any games in the league.
All the managers have their teams in
readiness and will submit the names
of their players at the next meeting.
The question OF the Consolidated team
came up for discussion and it was the
general opinion that players who par
ticipate in the games Of the Consoli-
dated team will be barred from the
City Amateurs league. This opinion
was expressed not to injure in any
aWy the chances of the Consolidated
team but to prevent as far as possible
professionalism in the league.

BILLIARDS.
CURE NAY CONE
TO THIS COUNTRY.

If Louis Cure defeats Jacob Schae-
fer in their coming billiard match in
Paris, at 19-inch balkline. two shots
in, he will come to America and chal-
lenge any professional here. This is
the news that Henry Wagner. of the
III. Wagner s. Adler Co, announced
yesterday upon his return from Paris.
He also said that Schaefer and Leon
ard Howison will return this summer
and open billiard room in New York
Both Cure and Schaefer are play
ing strong billiards." said Mr. Wagner.
1T is not true that Schaefer is in poor
form. Judging from what l saw him
do in play, his skill in handling the
worries is as great as dt ever was. In
one game at 1S-inch ball5line, two
shots in, when Marva, the champion
of Spain. was 100 to II for Schaefer,
the latter finished with a victory by
a run of 1885,"

POLITICS IN BASE BALL.

Poughkeepsie. April 27.-Abruptly
following his withdrawal from politics
in Duchess county. Assemblyman Rob-
ert w. Chanler yesterday caused an
other sensation by leasing the Pough-
keepsie base ball park and announcing
his Intention of playing semi-profes-
sional teams there in competition with
the Poughkeepsie league team, of
which he was formerly the good angel.
Ex-Chief Of Police William NfeCabe.
one Of his old political lieutenants, is
manager of the league team. Mr. Chan
ler's action is popularity regarded as a
step on his part to get even with Nc
Cabe for not standing by him in his at
tempt to control the democratic organ
ization in opposition 10 the Hill men.
The control OF the park gives Mr. Chan
Ter the key to the base ball situation.
The park was constructed by Manager
NIcCabe and his friends, but, on ae-
count of a disastrous season last year,
it recently passed into the hands of
other parties. who yesterday agreed to
lease Ii to Mr. Chanler. Heavy expen-
ditures have been made by Manager
McCabe to start the base ball season,
which will go for nothing If Mr. Chan
Ter does not reIent Twenty men will
be here to-day to report for practice,
and the first game is scheduled for Sat
urday.

duced as the Hfeatherweight champion

again and again. Corbett accepted
the honors modestly and bowed again

a fine match is looked for on that
occasion .BoWker has beaten every
thing of his ounces on this side, and is
in fine condition for fight. The same
os true of Hughey.
1T is expected that one of the big

ever seen at fight in England will be
present to see the little fellows try
it out.

favor the American fighter.

WRESTLING.
A FEW BITS ABOUT
THE NAT WORKERS.

In behalf of Hjalmar Lundin, cham
pion wrestler of Sweden, I wish to
challenge John Piening to a wrestling
match, any style, for side bet of $25O
up. | have tried for over a year to ar
range a match with Mr. Piening, but it
seems that he always finds some ex-
cuse for not signing articles. As he
claims to be champion Graeco- Roman
wrestler of the world, he ought not to
be afraid to meet the champion of
Sweden. Both men have a large fol-
lowing, so for the sake of good clean
sport Mr. Piening should not back out
this time. Respectfully yours,

ABoUT BILLY LUSH.

Give Billy Lush an unpire's mask
and pad, put him behind the catcher to
call strikes and balls. tell the people in
the stand it was Tim Hurst, and nine
out of ten of them would be deceived.
The new left fielder has the same color
of hair, the same contour OF counte-
nance and much the same musical
voice as the scrappy little umpire who
has successfully stood off and defiel
the mobs ut Cincinnati. Pittsburg and
Baltimore. Billy Lush was rapturous-
~ applauded when. in one of the Chi
cage games, he made one OF those
good o-see-running with-the-ball catch
es. Those catches are not as difficult
as they are dangerous" said Lush
after the game. They really ought
never to be attempted unless you are

followed him in the box, allowed but
four hits and did good work all

the champions, making a beautiful
catch on a hard-hit liner that looked

escape from defeat in his ten round
bout with Kid Pantz at Gloucester,
Mass, before the Gloucester A. @. on
Monday night. In the third round
Pantz fouled DAILY, and the referee
promptly declared the Boston lad the
winner. Up to that tie the battle was
Interesting. Pantz seemed eager to
make rough house affair and was
cautioned often. After the bell had
announced the end of the third round,
Pantz pummeled DAILY and pushed him
headlong through the ropes. Daily re-
reived an ugly fall, landing on his
head. He was picked up UNCONSCIOUS
and had to be carried to his corner, but
revived in five minutes Pantz's ac-
ton was hooted by the crowd. He
said it was an accident.
