THE OLD GIANTS.

The New York champion Giants" of 1888 and 1889 were just as famous in their time as last years McGraw- Brush family, writes Francis C. Rich ter. The National league those years was in all ways the big baseball body and the Giants were the big team, Both seasons did they fly the pen- nant and in accomplishing the trick they walloped two corking good fields. What has become of these old fel- lows? There was Buck Ewing, the Roger Bresnahan of his time. He's living in Cincinnati and is fairly well off in this worlds goods. Bill Brown. Ewing's partner in big init duty is dead. Ned Crane. whose speed was almost as burning as Christy Mathew sons, has also been called out by the great umpire. Tim Keefe, another pitching stalwart. is residing at Cam bridge. Mass. where he owns some real estate and collects enough rents each month to keep him going in Il uice way.
 Welch-old Smiling Mickey'--is the owner of q paying saloon at Holy Oke, Mass. and is the father of nine bouncing children. Roger Connor is alive. hale and prosperous and is another Giant who has settled down in New England. Waterbury is his old home town. Danny Richardson, that very tidy second baseman, is iu the dry goods business at Elmira. N. Y. Arthur Whitney, the third base men, is employed by the Victor sport ing goods firm. John NJ. Ward. the shortstop and captain. who was equal ly as famous as Johnny McGraw in his time. is a lawyer in New York.

The mill was pulled off in an old barn on the outskirts of Bris- tol. Leyinton went down three times in the sixteenth before the retefee counted g.
 The fight was the hardest that mas been seen about here in some tiL". Higgins. who is short and stocky, Was cautious for the first five rounds. Lev- inton, who is rugged and has wallOp in either hand. kept boring in. In the twelfth round the fighters struck the,I gait. stood toe to toe, and slugsca.

o'BRIES WANTS EASTERN FIGHT

O'Brieu is anxious to fight in the east. and especially in the neighbor- hood of Philadelphia. his home. He is a great friend of O'Rourkes. and m il letter says he will do everything to arrange his next match in Toms club. The manager has asked him 1T he would fight Ruhlin.
 ..I will gladly taken on Ruhliu." an swered Jack. but not until after l have met Tommy Ryan, whom l ex- pect to box in May.
 It is strongly probable that IT fal- mcr's managers in London cable that their champion will fight in America. O'Brien will meet the Englishman at o'Rourke's club before his match with Tommy Ryan.
 There is also talk of another meet ing between Fitzsimmons and 0Brien at O'Rourke's club. but it is not consid- pred that there is much likelihood of this. The bout would undoubtedly draw. but the fight fans generally do not consider that the Cornishman would stand much chance with the Philsdelphian. ...
 Fitz's sentimental talk that it was worry over his Julia and not Q Brisn's $ punch that licked him Is all very well to read. but it is. nevertheless, accept- ed with a smile of incredulity. OBrien is the better man aud Bob need never hope to prevail against him
 Ruhlin also says he will fight young Al Kaufmann. Billy Delaney's proiege. and there is strong likelihood of that match. However. big Gus says he wouh rather wait a few months and grab O'Brien when he can
 Delaney wrote O'Rourke that he hal promised a date to the winner of the Marvin Hsrf rf-Tommy Burns match. but that he would rather bring the blnck- smith east and stack him up against RuhIin if there was enough money h If

HOW THEY DO TT.

To show how they frame up match es in New York and take in the gulii- ble public of that big city, the follow ing item taken from the New York Telegraph column written by Left Hook is self explanatory:
 Alex Swanson and Young Muldoon will meet tonight in wrestling match to finish. catch-;ls-catch-can style, best two out of three, at tine Olympic A. C.. Lexington avenue and 125th street.
 'Muldoon's work on the mat during the past year makes him dangerous opponent for Swanson, and his admir- CTS in Harlem have been anxious to see him ill match with SwansoN or BOthner.
 Swanson, knowing MuIdoon's abil- ity. has trained faithfully at Hollen- der's Baths, while Muldoon had the as sistance of George Bothner and Leo Pardello in his training at Browns gymnasium in this city.
 "A delegation will be on hand from Bridgeport. Ct. to bet on Mudoon. as he gained many admirers in that cliy when he defeated John Kelly. che best wrestler in the Nutmeg State
 Relative to the above. it only needs for one to read it over to see how m,s- leading everything is. In the first place, John F. Kelly lives in Water bury and not in Bridgeport. In the second place, Muldoon did not beat Kelly, but the latter made MuidoOn look like d thirty-center when they met down in Simonsvillc. Tn the third place, unless Swanson has gone back q mile a minute or unless he shows tli1 orange color, he should make MuldoOn look even worse than Kelly did. in the fourth place, it looks as though both the wrestlers understand each other. In the fifth place. it is good betting that there will be no Bridge port or Waterbury sports present to back Muldoon. and lastly. Muldoon was the man who went down to New York after he was beaten by Kelly and told the New York reporters, wliO are just as gullible as the public, that he defeated Kelly.
