RESIDENT ED. BARROW, of the
Eastern League, besides dealing
out fines to Manager Joe Nc
Ginnity and Infielder Johnny Nee, of
the Newark Club, handed down sew
eral decisions yesterday. whereby Man
ager George Stallings, of the Buffalo
team, and some of the Bison players
were fined. Stallings, Corridor, Pierce,
Schirm and Beckendorf, of the Bisons,
each drew the automatic fine of so
for kicking against Umpire Kerin's
decisions in Rochester on Saturday,
and Pitcher Speer, of the Buaffo team,
who threw the ball at the umpire, was
relieved of $50 and suspended for five
days. Manager Joe Kelley. of the To-
ronto team. was also suspended and
fined $50 for kicking against decisions
rendered by Umpire Hart in the To-
ronto-Montreal series.
That's right. Mr.. Barrow. Be care
full of order at whatever cost.
-:O:--
There are now three distinct reports
about the rumored sale Of the Newark
Club. The latest is that President
Frank Farrell, who formerly owned
the club, has been asked to buy ii
back.

ray. manager. is another. This would
certainly be a good thing for baseball
in Newark. We would be assured of
high-class baseball, because everything
Mr.. Powers does In sports is performed
on a high scale. Then we have that
old story about George Stallings. I've
met several persons who told me they
saw "Mistah George" in this city re-
Gently when he had no apparent busi-
ness here.
We wonder what will be the end of it
all. These reports canno help the
local situation any.
-:O;--
If Manager Johnny Oliver offered
Tommy Murphy, his former protege, a
sum of. money to lie down to X. Q.
Brown Murphy should have told it be-
fore the bout and not after. Be a good
loser, Tommy. You squeal. even if
right, cannot be proven now, so don't
stultify yourself.
frankie Burns and Johnny DAILY, the
bantamweights, will box at the TWEEN

fore long. :
Referee Walter Bardgett fined Riders
Carmen, Mccartney and Beck s25 for
teaming in the race in which Carmen
was disqualified yesterday at the Velo-
drome.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
In regard to the private bout be-
tween Kid Palmer and Young Weinert
held last week in Newark, I wish to
state that as a fight fought under the
Marquis of Queensbury rules 1t was a
farce.
Young Weinert came attired in a
low neck, thin sweater and sneaks on,
instead of shoes. He even went so far
as to tape and bandage his hands (for
this was not to be anything but a
friendly affair.", while Palmer had on
shoes and dressed in working clothes.
and his hands we're not tapped, and he
only had one friend with him, while
Weinert had about twenty. In break
ing Weinert would run around the ref
cree and punch Palmer in the back,
and once Palmer fell over a chair and
Weinert jumped on him when he was
down and commenced to punch away.
There ought to be some excuse for him,
though, because he is only an amateur
and Palmer took pity and wouldn't
hurt him, and when Palmer was going
fast the referee stopped the fight.
Yours truly, WILLIE BURKE.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
To decide a bet, please answer the
following question, and oblige a reader:
Was not James NJ. Seymour, the sue
cessful candidate for the Democratic
ma~yoralty nomination, opposed by
Joseph e. Haynes in the convention
held at, what is now the Columbia
Theatre in the spring of 1894? Sey-
mour was that year defeated by Julius
A. Lebkuecher, Yours,
A. F. NAEGELE.
Seymour was u~nopposed in the con-
vention of 1894. The retirement of
Haynes as mayor had been a certainty
long before the convention. Haynes
was shortly afterwards made postmas-
ter.-Ed.
