the race, holding his opponents in hand
until the very last game of the season
at Pittsburg, where Jimmie Calvin
pitched the game Of his life, shutting
out Boston, while Pittsburg hit Clark
son quite freely. The telegraphic re-
ports from the New York-Indianapolis
game had a depressing effect on the
great pitcher. The Boston men fairly
adored Clarkson, and gave Charley
Radbourn the go-by at the close of the
season, and after that Rad never played
star engagement.
Eastern clubs should never 90 al
far as New Orleans for practice games,
and I see that New York has cut the
Crescent city from it's spring schedule.
Boston should follow suit. The distance
is too great and the players are firing
., of the long ride, in fact Manager Col
Inns is not in favor of going one inch
farther south than Macon.
Jimmie Collins says that two weeks
| is plenty to bet the boys in shape, and
| would be willing to make a combina-
ton with the other clubs of the Ameri-
can league to make it a rule not to 60
south before the last week in March,
| saving the club money, as there is no
profit in taking an army of ballplayers
to the southland for five or six weeks
workout. Many players get south not
! fast enough for secondclass minor
league clubs, and yet they are taken
south at the club s expense simply to
| have good time. It is absurd, it is
a clear case of poor management and
a waste of good money. No player
should be taken south without a record
or having the Endorsement of some good
authority who had the clubs best in
terests at heart.
Lou Ciger's Idea.
Lou Criger was right when he saidI
"Why not give some of this money
wasted on fourth-class players to the
men who are willing and can do the
work9' This idea came to the great
catcher as he worked day in and day
out, while three or four halfbacked
catchers sat on the bench drawing fat
salaries. Less men and better pay
should be the motto of the ball teams.
Both major and minors are carrying
too many men. No minor league should
carry over fourteen men, while no ma.
ior league should be allowed to carry
over sixteen men. While the work is
little harder than it was a dozen years
ago, yet each club is carrying four or
FIVE more men than formerly. The
games are no more attractive and the
geueralship is far below the standard
of ten years ago, as there is not six
clubs today in the major leagues ham
died by frst-class managers, and that,
when management means everything.
AS the old fellows force the work
while training, little kinks will crop
out in arms and legs, reminding the
boys that the time has come to slow
up and cut out all dissipation, if they
intend to remain in fast company for
the big money.

BY MALACHI .HOG4I

Battling Nelson did not add to his
reputation as fighter in his bout with
Terry McGovern at Philadelphia, altho,
despite conflicting reports, he admin
istered a sound beating to the once
champion among little men. AS was
expected, there were al kinds Of howls
made after the 60, among others being
5 the fact that the bout was fake from
start to finish.
~ AS has been pointed out in these col
umns, Nelson is no six-round fighter,
: and doubt very much whether he will
ever be one. He is not cut out for a
short distance, just the same as some
horses are good for a distance, while
others are only good for the sprints.
Using the language Of the track it
seems as if Nelson is unable to Cum
track himself inside Of eight or nine
rounds. His records against good men
certainly show that he seldom if ever
j gets into action before the tenth round.
Then the straight Marquis of Queens
berry rules did not seem to be to the
Danes liking. He has always affected
the slam-bang style Of mixing and he
has not been accused before Of being
overly fond of clinching.
It was the latter angle of the bout
that disguised many Of the spectators
!. at the ringside Wednesday night. The
fans had paid fancy prices for seats
and they came there to see the two
whirlwinds whirl This failed to ma
terialize until after the fight was half
over and the men were not overly
active then, for Terry had shot his
q bolt and was unable to infict any pun
ishment and>as consequence the fight
1 failed to give satisfaction.
Bias for McGovern
81 1t was evident from some of the ac-
&. counts that the Philadelphia writers
were more or less biased in favor of
McGovern. Some considered that if a
decision had been allowed Terry should
& have had draw. No one, however, can
figure out this from the story of the &c
by rounds. In these it is certainly evi
dent that Nelson had the shade from
: beginning to end, and not only this
but had the fight gone another round
or two Terry would have been counted
out. He was wobbly and groggy at the
S finish and practically sFstalled'' out the
last two rounds: There may be some
i thing in the statement that the DAM
could have knocked out his opponen

only saved himself from going to tn

That the match was a bad one from
any viewpoint was apparent. Nelson

morrow. MIR. Rockefeller is today en-

and probably worries little over the
fact that Attorney General Moody has
announced that proceedings Will be
commenced against the Standard OIL
company for violations of the anti
trust laws.

began to accumulate his wealth. and

Rockefeller, according to careful es-
timations, Is worth today $500. zoo. 900.
Last year Mr.. Rockefeller was worth
$652, 1000. 900, showing a gain for the
present year Of &lS.o0o.o00. In 1895.
Rockefeller's fortune was estimated to
be $1o0.000.o00. and people stood In
amusement at the figures.
In 1878 Rockefeller has amassed a
fortune Of $4,000, 900. while in the pre-
ceding year he Is said to have been
practically bankrupt. Now with an
estimated income Of $4s.O00.oo0 year
