ACOSTA SOLD TO ATLANTA.
Cuban OutfieIdcr Released by Wash
 inGtOn Club.

Washington, March 15.-Manager Griffith has sent the Cuban outfielder Acosta, returned by the Baltimore h. ternational League club, to the At lanta club of the Southern League.
 Merito Acosta has been sent to the Crackers under an optional agree ment so he can be recalled any time the pilot of the nationals finds that he needs an outflelder
 Acosta had a good season in Bal timore last year, and it was thought the Old Fox would use the little Gu ban in the sun field this year with the nationals. The Cuban was well up in the batting list of the Internationa League, and was a hard man to pitch to on account of his height. being one of the best lead off men in the circuit. Merito received many passes to the first station, as it was hard for pitchers to get them over for him.

Editors Note: This is the twenty which MT. Corbett is writing on John l.. As I Knew Him." It relates many heretofore unpublished incl dents in the life of the great warrior. The next instalment will appear to- morroW.)
 The Sullivan-Kil fight in Rich burg. Miss, in 1889 sounded the death knell for bare -knuckle fighting. It was indisputably a brutal contest and even those fans who loved the sight of gore in a prize ring had their de- sires more than satisfied. And so, when public sentiment condemned London Prize Ring fighting, no one made a defense in its behalf. And bare-knucllle fighting was banned.
 That suits me perfectly" declared John l.. Before my fight with Xiii rain I stated that it would be my last bare knuckle contest. Hereafter all my fights will be under Marquis of 1 Queensbury rules.''
 And then the big question arose:
 Who shall be the heavyweight champion of the world under Marquis 1 of Queensbury rules?"
 John l.. Sullivan at once answered: : ''I am the champion under London Prize Ring rules and I guess I'm just as much entitled as anybody else to the title under Marquis of Queensbury rules. I helped to introduce glove i fighting in this country and was the 1 first real champion to use gloves in 1 big contests. So I hereby claim the Marquis of Queensbury title.'' large majority or the public agreed with John L., but when Peter
 Jackson, the great negro warrior, set lip a claim, there were some folks | who felt that he had as much right to the Queensbury championship as 1 had the mighty Bostonian. This ele- 1 nlcnt pointed out that Jackson was 1 the real Marquis of Queensbury type l Of fighter; a clever, brainy boxer, and
 one given more to speed and to science l than to brutal strength. But John l.. l sc0ffed at Jackson's claims.
 At once the negro began to hurl l challenges at the mighty white man. l He pointed to his record as evidence

, in the ring at that time, had right to fight with John l.. Sullivan. And Jackson's work certainly was impres- sive.
 The negro, who was trlf1e more than six feet tall and weighed in the neighborhood of 195 pounds, had be- gun his career in Australia In looo. Five years later he arrived m san Francisco and his wonderful boxing a ability soon made him a sensatlon He took on foes as fast as they cared to face him and one after another they went down and out before his oerciless attack After having whipped all the prominent boxers m i the West, Jackson swung through to l the East and his success continued.
 And then Jackson went to England. There he met and defeated eight or 1 the best fighters in that country. In ! 1890 he returned to the United States 1 and continued along his winning way. i With each new triumph he hurled new l defis at John l.. Sullivan. But the pig 1 champion settled the question, Will 1 you fight Jackson?'' by announcing: l "I draw the color line; l Will not 1 fight a negro,'
 Every pressure was brought to 1 hear to get John l.. into the ring With 1 Jackson but the white man absolute ] lv refused Some persons who were not 1 friendly in their feelings toward Sul- 1 livan claimed that John IL. was afraid 1 to meet Jackson; that he feared that
 the wonderful skill of the negro and : his superior speed would be too much i for John l.. in a finish bout. But de- 1 spite all these slurs on his ablHty,
 John L. was stea dfast in his refusal ! to take on Jackson.
 1 ..I think I have earned a rest. l , have fought practically every man
 that cared to face me almost from the
 day I whipped Paddy Ryan. During my career so far, I have licked more
 than 25O fighters and I guess there
 is riory enough in that for me. want to settle down for & while and take
 things easy. There is no one left for ! me to fight except Jackson, and ] won't fight a negro. So l guess I'll
 loaf and enjoy myself
 And John L. did.
 After the Kilrain fight John l.. quit
 living the ''straight-laccd life that ] had been his routine while under the
 handling of Billy Muldoon. But
 though the champion took things easy
 he didn't indulge in so many of the l wild drinking orgies as ln ms earlier 1 oays Muldoon's lectures had made 1 their impress. John l.. had come to ! realize that his superb physique had
 its limitations under the attacks of l 6issination; And he became fairly moderate in his intemperance.
 And it was just about then that "the
 greatest spender in America" came to
 the realization that his bankroll was
 becoming emaciated The champion,
 I'D to that time, had earned something
 like $65o,ooo in the ring and on the
 stage, But he didn't have more than
 s75,0Oo left. So he became a little
 more careful as to his money and the
 occasions of his wild squandering be-
 gan to grow fewer and fewer.
 John l.. was becoming a wiser man
 as the years crept on.
