to sketch.

SPORTING NEWS.
BY LEON.
LOCAL DIAMOND.

It is learned with regret that the
Baptists' team will not play on the
18th, as was announced last week.
The difficulty is that the park could
not be secured, as the Stars and
Butchers meet on that date.
The Baptists, having lost but one
game this season, are anxious to
meet some team or teams before the
bell taps.
There was rumor out some time
ago that the A. B. C.'s of Indianapo-
lis were headed this way, but as the
season was getting old, they went
West instead Having met the best
teams that could be raked together,
they finally landed on the Leland
Giants. Though defeated, they played
the best game of the season, so say
the 5000 present. The mighty pitch.
ing of RUDE Foster was the cause of
it all.
A league Of all the towns within rs
miles of Nashville will likely be
Matched this winter; so do not be
surprised should you be called on to
attend a league game. All and every.
thing Negroes.
Burke and Johnson Matched to Fight
Six Rounds.
Sailor Burke of Brooklyn and Jack
Johnson, the Negro heavyweight, have
been matched to fight six rounds dur
ing the first week in September
They agreed to meet at catch weights
and fight Queensbury rules. Each
also agreed to allow the other to wear
soft bandages on his hands during the
contest. Bids for the bout will be
opened in two weeks.
While it is conceded by sporting
men that Johnson will win, there are
many who believe that the Brooklyn
ite will give him a hard battle. Many
men who have seen both fight recent
ly declare Burke has good chance
to win.
Johnson is much the heavier. He is
80 years old and weighs nearly zoe
pounds That he has powerful
punch was demonstrated when he re-
Gently knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons
