The throng OF Is, 600 was the larg-
est over attending a ball game up 70
that time. The gates were closed long
before game e-time, and the players,
in their uniforms, had to climb the
fence. Pat Gillespie, the Giants out
fielder, caught his trousers on a nail
and was almost stripped.
Giants AII-StaF Team.
The Giants OF 1883 were an al-staF
team, II ever there was one, and the
names Of most of them are recalled
by later-day followers Of the national
game.
Roger Connor, the Giants frst
baseman. was a slugger on =, par
with Pop" Arson. "Dasher" Troy
was a brilliant shortstop, but the
greatest players in that New York line
up were Weleh and Ewing.
John NJ Ward, who was q pitcher
outfielder, and ,shortstop at various
times in his career, shining In AL
three places, too. is now a practicing
attorney in New York
BOafOn Was SrOag.
Boston was a strong aggregation in
1888, winning the pepnant with a
percentage. OF .643. That all-staP
teams didn't always win flags was
shown by the Giants finishing sixth
that season, winning. 46 and losing
90 games for an average OF .419. They
hit for .256, but their fielding mark
was down at .S25. John B. Day was
the president OF the club and Jim
MuEtrie its manager.
- Jim Whitney. who bowed In defeat
6efore Smiling" Mickey Welch that
day, was long one OF the games
brightest stars, while Joe Hornung,
Ezra Sutton. John Burdock and Sam
Wise were fully as great as their
successors today.
Most OF that gallant band have.
gone West, but Joe Hornung has for
years been a special officer in charge
of the press box at the Polo Grounds,
New York.

JACK BRITT0N IS CLOSE
TO DEFEAT IN eleventh

CANTON, Ohio. April s.-Though
Jack Britton, welterweight champion
Of the world, made a valiant come
back after being fIoored with a left
swing to the jaw in the eleventh
round, of a scheduled twelve-round
bout with Bryan Downey, of Colum-
bus, here last night, he could not
overcome that disadvantage, losing
the popular verdict.
Only the keenest ring craft saved
the veteran, who met a boxer more
than ten years his Junior. After the
third round, Britton had the fight
we'll in hand until Downey lifted him
off his feet with a terrific left.
DoWney weighed less than the stipu-
lated mark-1J1 pounds ringside.
