GOOD FELLOW NO MORE.

Manager Hanlon of the Brooklyn club arrived in New York yesterday from Baltimore to get his men in line for the departure tor the south week from next Monday. Hanlon said that he would take about twenty-five play CTS out. He admitted that Dillon, the big first baseman, had been sold to Los Angeles for $1,70O, and declared that if Sheckard wants to play for $500 less than he received last season he can do so or go to the Independent Lancaster club. Sheckard received 5000 last season, but Hanlon says he played $1,2O ball. In speaking of the prospects of the Brooklyn team, Han lon said:
 1T have hopes that the team will be better than last years combination. In the first place I intend to be more strict with my. players than ever be- fore. I will make it my business to discipline the team. and will also see that the players have better habits than last year. am through being a good fellow for the men do not seem to appreciate such treatment"

YOUNG SUTTON STILL
 PLAYS FAST IN WEST

Frank J. Sutton of this city Is still doing remarkable work in front of the cage for the Fort Wayne team in the Western Polo league. The season will close on April s and Danville looks to have cinch on the pennant The fol. lowing accounts of the games come from the Fort Wayne News:
 "Ffdo" Sutton, the more or less handsome guardian of the locals cage, was the main factor last night in the winning of the overtime game with Marion, when the champions downed the team from the oil town by the score. of 3 to ?.
 The game was fast and furious from the start. The Marion boys got the ball and commenced to lombard Slut tons shins, but the goal tend got ill front of everything that came his way. The champions in the meantime were trying to get busy and just eighteen seconds from the close of the frs, period "Dicky" Pierce caught the ball near the side of the rink and made pretty angle drive that got by Bur gess.
 Both teams counted in the second perlOd, Bone for Fort Wayne and Do- herty for the visitors.
 In the third period Teddy Lewis tied the score on pretty drive. Then commenced pretty game, each side doing their utmost to win out, with the odds in favor of the champions. The bell, however, changed before either side could count and the game went over.
 In the overtime period Sutton again loomed up big and strong, his work being phenomenal. It took over seven minutes for the champs to get the de- ciding goal. The ball was hit at Bur. gess by Bone. Before it had a chance to stop rolling on the rebound "Dicky" Pierce came across the floor like streak of lightning and scooped the ball by Burgess. thus ending one of the best and cleanest games ever seen at the rink.
 s McGrath broke his skate in the third period and gave way to Leydon, who also finished the overtime period. Line up and score:

ANTI.PRIzEFIGHT BILL DEAD.


 San Francisco, } Aarch, 'O.-Tle anti. prizefight bill which was presented by several prominent legislators at Sacra- mento and championed by several am- ateur clubs. was killed yesterday iE .hr assembly by the close vote of B noes to B ayes. The bili provided that only four round boxing contests should be beld anywhera in the state and that these should not bn given for money. Of course these limitations knocked out professional matches. as no one would pay to see four rowid battle. A big delegation of sports went up to Sacramento this week and several of the leaders have camped in the lobby ever since. as they feared q majority of the country members would be secured to pass the bill. Wednesday a vote was postponed be- cause of a defect in the bill. hut this delay proved fatal. as the sports work ed on enough members to get a bare majority.
 There is much joy in San Francisco. as prizeights mean much money. not only to pugilists, but to managers and betting men. In fact. San Francisco Is about the only place fin the country where genuine prizefght can lse held with the guarantee of Dig crowd and no interference from tire police.
