 year occurred in Pennsylvania, one at Indiana and the other at Cherry Hill. In the first Grove ThcSras, Cincinnati boy, was hit by ball during play and instantly killed. Hiram Williams met a similar death in the other. The saddest feature of both accidents was that the young wives of the players were. wit nesses to their husbands terrible deaths. The men who met natural deaths in base ball this year numbe: II. Probably the most noted of all was James (Chip) Mc- Carr, who died in an insane hospital at Worcester, Mass, on June G.. He was an old-time National league player. and was known throughout the United States. Another well-known player that passed to the great beyond was Ben Shorty Fuller. formerly shortstop for the New Works. There were two suicides record ed. Hugh Higgens. a wellknown am- ateur player of Louisville, killed him. self on March 16. s2n Mahaney took his own life at Sprin ngtield, Mass, on Janu- ary 31. In the turf world the most prom inent men to leave this earth were Wil- liam c. Whitney, who died in New York city. of the effects of an operation, on January 29, and J. Malcolm Forbes, the noted breeder of trotting horses, who died on his estate at Milton, Mass. OF tor J. s. O'Brien. of Saltwater, Minn.; C. F. Jeffers, the Louisville horseman, who was in partnership with Johnny Fay. and David Nagle, an old-time Cali fornia horseman. In the harness world death claimed Gogere Fuller, known far and wide as reinSman: Sam Moreland, of Covington. and Uncle Billy Hughes, of Sedalia, Mo. The best-known jockey to die this season was Andy Hamilton. He breathed his last in France on Febru. ary 1. Hamilton was born in this coun- try. and, although black in color was at one time considered the best in America. The death of Caesar Young in New York city took from the ranks of the Ameri- can booimakers one of the best in the business. His death is still fresh in the minds of the general public, seated be- side Nan Patterson. an actress. on Sat urday. June ,. The most conspicuous figure to be taken from the boxing world by death was James E. Kennedy. the New York promoter of athletic sports He died on an elevated train in Brooklyn or April 30. Tommy Warren was the only boxer of prominence to die since the first of the year. There have been three deaths in the prize ring but none of the victims were known outside their home city. and. like all cases Of this kind. their deaths were due to lack of training and not from punishment dealt out by their opponents.

THE PUCILISTS.
TROUBLE IN
 SAN FRANCISCO
Fight Between Clubs Hay Kill the Game-O'Brien Posts His Forfeit to Meet Bob Fitzsmmons.

San Francisco, Jan 24.-Tfc latest scrap among the fighters and promoters of this city that is an additional nail in the coffin of the fighting game has for its principals Jimmy Britt and James Coffroth, formerly bosom friends.
 Britt had sued Coffroth and Eddy Graney for $1O,O00 because they ad- vertised that he would act as inter locutor in minstrel show at music hall they are running. Britt believes his dignity was hurt, and his name damaged by such an advertisement
 Coffroth retaliated by issuing big pns,er, stating that Britt would not appear but as the type. was small and misleading, J. Edward immediately had Coffreth arrested. -s- #
 Subsequently, Graney landed on the jaw of Britt's attorney and the affair was further complicated. Therefore it looks as if Britt will decline to fight White before the Yosemite club.
 Manager James Coffroth has not vet wired $500 to Jabez White, but is will. ing to reimburse the English champion if he brings off the contest between White and Britt ''--
 There is danger of the fighting game being stopped in this state. There is pending before the legislature, which is ucw in session, bill introduced by Senator Ralston, and If it passes it will sound the death knell of fighting in California.
 Owing to the petty squabbles of local promoters and the raw work that is being done in putting on unsatisfactory battles. and the constant suspicion that fight has been fixed, there is a feel' ing among the solons that the game should be stopped.
 James Cotfroth may not be able to induce Britt to fight before his club, even though he gets the March date. Britt says he will fight White before any club in the United States that of. ters the best Inducements.
 Although Battling Nelson has agreed tc fight Young Corbett before the Hayes Valley club next month, they have not signed articles. Nelson would rather fight Britt, and offers to bet hin nn the side. COrbett is training at San Rafael with Frankie Neil, who fights this month. Corbett is rounding Into condition.

GOSSIP OF
 THE PLAYERS,
Eastern League heetine- Jersey City Sports Heavily Fined-Stories Told On and eff the Field.

The annual meeting of the Eastern League of Professional Baseball Clubs began at the Victoria hotel. New York, yesterday morning and the delegates were in session until late hour last night, When President r. T. Powers called the meeting to or der the clubs were represented as fol lows:
 Jersey City, H. C. Griffiths and W. J. Murray: Newark, NJ. B. Puter and W. W. Burnham: Baltimore. Edward Hanlon, Moses W. Frank and Hugh Jennings; Providence. F. Wendelshae- fer: Montreal, John Kreitner: Toronto, J. J. McCatferty. J. Lietz, d. Apple gate and Richard Harley: Buffalo, George Stallings; Rochester. C. T. Chapin and A. C. Buckenberger. < President Powers was authorized to draw up the usual schedule of games. which has been his duty for half a dozen years. The business done last year by the various clubs showed that the league had enjoyed unusual pros perity, the only losing club being that of Montreal. While the owner of the Montreal club said he was willing to, continue. feeling sure that better times were in store for him this sea son. there was some talk of transfer ring the club to Richmond, Va. Last season the Montreal club lost some star players through the drafting sys- tenn and their places will have to be filled by new men. Richmond is red hot for baseball just now, and it is sid ;haf t'nrt is 'lenty of backing for an Eastern league club there if fr"nchise caH be secured. It was f. nally decided to ask the national board to extend protection over the Richmond territory until the matter has been definitely settled.
 Much time was consumed ill discus sing the salary limit and the number of players to be reserved by each club. It was voted that after June ] each team shall be limited to fifteen play CTS. While the salary limit was not decided upon, it was resolved that each club must file voucher with the president of the league stating the exact salary to be paid each play CT. and that in case of violation of the same the club guilty of such an Offense shall be fined S1.O00. Each club will als, he npellel to file $5.OOO bond fifteen days before the onerlng of the season to cover such cases. The pennant was awarded to the Buffalo club. The meeting will probably be concluded this afternoon.

Benjamin Haagenson was also fined SlO0O. w. J. Davis $2J0 and August Leastream SIC in the same case. The action arose out of the attempt last summer of the residents of Bayonne to put stop to Sunday base ball. The Eastern league. represented by II. c. Griffiths as coun- sel, presented an affidavit signed bt August Leastream and his wife. who lived directly opposite the ball grounds. that Sunday ball was not objectionable to them. lt was then shown that Grif- iiths's name was also signed to the p,titiOn of the opponents of Sunday ball. Investigation showed that the affidavit had been falsely drawn and signed. and the contempt proceedings were instituted. The men fined are well known citizens of BayOnne.
