THE SPORTING NEWS.
all around game and piling up a dozen

all around game and piling up a dozen runs. As receiver general, Paddy Duff held up his end, coaching the pitchers well and being on the alert. He also spanked two bagger to the left field fence. Whitley showed himself some thing of sticker, with two timely sin gles. Fultz, Williams, Yeager and Orth hit the ball in a businesslike way. Fultz started the run getting with a safe bunt. Yeager filled Elberfeld'A shoes in q satisfactory manner. He covered the ground and gobbled up grounders with celerity and accuracy. The whole infield played together nice- ly. and three double plays were trans acted. Jack Anderson never displayed 50 much ginger before. The inside play of the New Yorks was wideawake. No point was overlooked and the bat ting was timely. Big Jack Powell put in an appearance yesterday. "Only ten pounds to take off," he said. The score:

not have the sum of $1O to post and [ had to wait for him. In reference fur- ther to side bets, MT Curley told two other people that 1t was best to have the friends of each of the principals bet with each other. In the office of the Evening Democrat on the night when the bids were opened offered to bet MT Curley $50 and I would hire hall or we would wrestle in private for the $50, but he declined both offers. I then stated that I would not go to the Simonsville Athletic club rooms unless side bet of $25 was made and that regulation mat of eighteen feet would be provided. MT Curley stated that he did not have the money then and told him I would wait until Monday morning for him to post his money. I was busy at work Monday morning and didn't get around to the office until 1:30, but Mir Curlev re- fused to allow me ninety minutes over time, although I waited for him for two days.
 Relative to the bet, I would state that this is 8 randicap. match in which Cronan. who will not weigh six pounds more than Pickett, agrees to throw Pickett two falls in one hour of actual wrestling. A twelve foot mat is too small, because lots of time will be consumed in bringing the men back to the center of such a small mat. It is fairer for both men and will give the spectators a run for their money to have a large mat. MT Curley signed an agreement for an eighteen foot mat and that agreement is at the Democrat office. Of course he may claim that because I was ninety minutes late in getting around with my forfeit that this agreement does not hold. What difference does 1t make as long as I am willing to bet and willing to have the men meet? Manager Joe Lawlor of the Simonsville Athletic club has dropped the match because he could not supply an eighteen foot mat. Now let Us get together and if MT Curley is in earnest he will quibble no more over lateness in putting up a forfeit, but will agree to Hrestle his man ill any place where an eighteen foot mat can be procured and where the big gest money will be taken in. will meet him at the Democrat office this evening at T':30 sharp and if he wants to have Pickett wrestle Cronan, let him say so right out and let us stop all this newspape per talk and get down to business. Respectfully yours.

 THE PUGlrlsTs. s'
OUT FROM =. HIS SHELL
Jake kilrain Would Like
 a Crack at His Old Time Conquerer John L.-Ru. mor Britt Fears Nelson.

Baltimore. March 16-The weather is opening up, so are the turtle shells. and now Jake Kilrain pokes his head out and would utter a def to his one great rival, who recently actually knocked a man @ out in a prize ring.
 ''All the old ones are not dead yet" says Jake. and he wants to fight John L. Sullivan again. He would also not object to meeting Joe Goddard again. but unfortunately he is buried as well as dead.
 This is no jest. kilram is actually out for fight. His son, Cecil Kilrain, made his first debut in the ring here a couple of weeks ago, and met with d knockout, and this probably brought the father to announce that there was still lots of fight in the Kilrain family.
 However. Jake Kilrain is quoted as saying his intention of re-enterinc the ring is not of recent origin, but in fact several years ago he began to condition himself for his farewell appearance. Though he hardly hopes to reach the condition he was in when he was beat ing all the champions up 10 Sullivan. he hoped. and believes now. that he is nearly in such shape that he could lick many of the present day heavy. weights
 To-day Kilrain says he weighs less than POO pounds. For year past he has been paying much attention to boxing. and he spars daily. He says he finds his staying qualities are good and he has nearly as good and effec- tive punch as he ever possessed.
 When asked if the reading of John l.. Sullivan's late victory over Jack Mccormick had influenced him. he said: Ut did not. have been train- ing for years and feel right now. I would like to get a match with John l.. Sullivan. of course. I have an advan- tage over him. I am younger and not so big. that is true. but John and I ought to put up good go.'

MANAGER BERGEN TALKS.

Sporting Editor of Evening Demo crat-I wish to reply through your col umns to Manager Ed CurIey's riddle in this mornings paper and I think 1 had better rack his memory little. In the first place. the way the match came about was as follows: I have a brother who is great friend of Dan Pickett's and while he was talking about the respective merits of Pickett and Cronan I remarked that Crunan could throw Pickett twice in one hour. Mir Curley was told what I had said and the next night Mir Curiey met me on Liberty street and asked me if I was in earnest about what I stated tc my brother. that Cronan could throw Pickett two falls in one hour I told him I was and then Mir Curiey stated that he would make the match In respect to the meeting on that We'd nesday evening. Pickett and Cronan were to be at my house at 1:i5. I wait e,l until sJ1. when MT Curiey came himself without Pickett who was training at the Goodwill Athletic club oa Ridge street

BASKET BALL.
CROSBY FIVE
 WERE FAST
The Lads From the High School Proved Too Speedy For. All Waterbury = Good Game To.Night.

The basketball team of the local High school defeated the All Water bury five in the Y. M. c. A. gymna- sium last evening and got sweet re venge on their opponents, who defeat ed them in a very close game about two weeks ago. The final score was 25 to 14.
 The student body was out in large numbers and had all kinds of instru- ments for making noise. When the High school players appeared on the floor a great shout went up and a beautiful school banner was suspended from the balcony. This spirit shows that the students are at last aware of the fact that they have good basket ball team and one worthy of support.
 Although the game was not so fast as the former one between the teams yet it was interesting throughout. The All ,Waterburys did not have the ser vices of McKeon and his absence was felt considerably. Although the de- feated team missed great many shots the Crosby team seldom missed bas- ket. The team work of the winners was very good, especially in the first half. Cronan carried off the honors on the losing side while Guilfoile and Stahl played star game for the Crosby team. There was no timekeep- CT for the first half and forty minutes were played before the referee called time. The lineup:
 All Waterbury-Burgess, f; Selby, f; Slavin, c; Vickers, Dunphy, g; Cronan, g.
 Crosby-Stahl. f; Beach, f: Guilfoile, c; Ryan, g; Tompkins. Fitzgerald. g.
 Goals made by: Guilfoile ?. Beach 3, Stahl 5. Ryan, Fitzgerald, Burgess 3. Slavin, Selby, Dunphy 2; goals from fouls, Stahl: fouls, Crosby 4, All Wa terbury z: referee, Mir Danaher.
 In the preliminary game the Ram blers defeated the Imperials. 37 to Il.
 A social session followed the game.

SLOT MACHINES BARRED.
Mayor of Cincinnati Orders Thei
 Removal Hmm ediately.


 CINCINNATI, O., March 16.-MayoI Fleischmann issued an order directing the police to cause the removal of all slot machines in Cincinnati. This ac. tion is based on an opinion rendered by the city solicitor to the effect that 3. machine simply used as mechanical sales agent for the delivery of an article of value is not gambling de. vice.
 An instrument. however, in which money is deposited and there is an element of chance as to whether there is a return of value to the depositor is gambling device, the operation of which is a violation of the law.
 The police will give notice to each owner that arrests will follow failure to remove machines by April l. It is estimated that 10000 of the machines are operated in Cincinnati, doing a daily business amounting to S35,OO0.

FIGHT OR QUIT.

Tn view of the Chase incident the Class A minor leagues will be forced to fight or quit. In all probability the Pacific Coast league, which can pay large salaries and got along prosper ously before it became a party to the national agreement, will got to war. but whether the Eastern league and the American association will follow suit is problem hard to solve. The idea of the Eastern league putting up a fight against the American league by taking away the latter's star play.
 CTS by means of larger salaries than the Americans can pay is amusing. tc say the least. According to several well known base ball men just two clubs in the Eastern league made money last year. and the salaries. for . minor league, were excessively high.

 "All players who eat too much are liable to fine of S10."
 Donahue adds that some of the play CTS ate so much that they had nothing coming to them at the end of the sea- son.

SAVIN ROCK GROUNDS SOLD.
 A change in the ownership of the base ball grounds of the New Haven club was recorded yesterday. The land on which the grounds have been built up by Manager Cornelius J. Dan> aher has been owned by Jacob Wenz of New Haven and Ernest l.. Kettle, ton of Milford. Mir Nettleton sold his share ill the property to Mir Wenz. The price was not announced, but the land is worth three times what it was a year ago.
 The change in ownership has nothing to do with the squabble between Dan. aher and O'Rourke. Mir Danaher has a long term lease of the grounds, with the privilege of buying them at fixed sum at the expiration of his lease.
