C'fc:¥?'ifr-Msii 1! THE FIGHT TO TAKE PLACE THIS MORNING.

How the Day Was Spent by the Two Men—A Big Sale ol Tickets.

NEW ORI.F.ANS, July 7.—There is nothing of a Sunday character about the aspect of this city to-day. St. Charles, Canal, Rampart, Washington and Prytania streets are alive with people, mostly non-residents, however, who have come to witness the great mill, and who are anxious, at all cost, not to miss any details of- the great encounter. The demand for Beats in the inner ring was BO great

thiB

morning that, by 10 o'clock,

the entire capacity of the ring, 800 seats, had been disposed of. Then the festive speculator began to get in his work, and Boon it began to be whiBpered that inner ring tickets could be purchased from speculators at prices ranges from $25 to $40. Several tickets were disposed of at prices midway between these figures, but in one or two cases the outside price was paid.. ~]:W

Colonel R. fl. Garrett, general southern passenger agent Queen & Crescent railroad company, estimates that there will be 2,500 people on the ground, and that the gate receipts will approximate $30,000. Of this amount the railroad company receives only $2 a ticket, say §5,000 in all. The remainder will be divided between the combatants, after first deducting the expenses. The understanding is that if from any causa, the fight is prevented, purchasers of tickets will get all of their money back but two dollars for actual railroad fare. The net proceeds of gate money will be divided in the following proportions: Sixty per cent, to winner and 40 per cent, to loser.

The St. Charles hotel, which is directly opposite the Queen & Crescent ticket oflice, is the accepted headquarters of the visiting sports, and its famous rotunda and piazza has been crowded all day with visiting pugilistic celebrities. Tom, Allen Joe Coburn, the St. Joe Kid, Joe Murphy, Mike Cleary, and a multitude of other fistic heroes were prominent figures in the Vicinity of the hotel during the progress of the day. To-morrow's fight was of course, the prevailing topic of discussion. Sullivan continues the favorite of the talent, but public sentiment, that is to say, a public sentiment which was backed by principle and not money, is all in favor of Kilrain. They consider the Boston man nothing better than a brute, and want to see him whipped, but they are not inclined to back their preference. At the clubs to-day the gen^^l sentiment was that Kilrain would but when abet was offered the club wanted 2 to 1. Even the ladies are siu, ilarly inclined and their sympathies ar^ with the Baltimore man.

At Sullivan's headquarters to-day there was no departure from the air of quiet confidence. Among the visitors were Sheriff Nalley, Chief of Police Hughes, of Louisville, Jack Barnett, of New York, and Charles T. Johnson, one of Sullivan's backers. They were entertained in the parlor down staire by Muldoon, while Sullivan remained jja seclusion in the floor above. Sullivan passed a lazy and luxurious day. His appetite is enormous. For breakfast he ate a good sized broiled bass, five soft boiled eggs, a half loaf of graham bread, and a half dozen sliced tomatoes. The only liquid he took was a cup of tea. After, breakfast Muldoon gave him a shave, during the course of which he fell asleep, and in that condition Muldoon left him. At 1 o'clock he dined, consuming his usual quota of three chickens, with rice and chicken broth and a half loaf of bread. At 3:15 o'clock a carriage drove up into which Sullivan, Muldoon, Cleary and Dan Murphy entered, and were rapidly driven to the Q. & C. depot, where Jthey embarked for the battle ground. There is still some conflict of opinion as to Kilrain's condition. Some think he is too fat, others too lean. An Associated Press reporter surprised Tom Allen, the famous pugilist, taking a lemonade in the rotunda of the St. Charles hotel. He was aak-d for his opinion, lie said: "I am for Kilrain." The reporter requested an opinion as to Kilrain's condition. Allen replied: "It is good, but I would like him better if he were not so fat. I like to see the cheekbones sticking out."

So there you are, the talent generally consider Kilrain too light and Allen thinks him took heavy. Everybody is at sea and betting is taking curious

B9ts are being made that Sul­

livan will win in less than six rounds, and so it goes. Thus far little money has been wagered here. The Kilrain men insist on odds of 2 to 1. The other Bide are willing to concede $100 to $75, but there is no disposition to close at these figures.

about

11 o'clock he came down to the gymnasium, where a large number of the members of the Southern athletic club and their guests were assembled. Kilrain looked around the spacious hall, fanning himself, and appeared to be quite at his ease. At noon Kilrain, Mitchell, Murphy and Pony Moore breakfasted at Morreau's restaurant and then strolled about town, returning to the gymnasium at 2 o'clock. Kilrain's condition had visibly improved, and his eyes were brighter and his movements much more active than on the previous day. Mitchell appeared to be well contented with his fffcn's condition, and said: "If Sullivan don't lick him in twenty minutes he won't- do it in a month." The members of the club, some of whom were disappointed at his appearance on his arrival, changed their minds to-day, and expressed themselves astonished at his physical developments as well as the improvemenfin his demeanor. Said one: "He's the most deceiving iri|n I ever

Baw. To look at him one would take him to be a loose-jointed, round shouldered fellow, about five feet ten inches tall, with a small chest, long arms, and not at all athletic. Yet, you should see him under excitement as I did. His form appeared to lengthen fully three inches, his chest bulged out, his eye flashed, and he appeared able to knock down a mule with his fists." Kilrain acknowledged the introductions to those present in a graceful yet quiet manner and remained in an excellent humor until the announcement was made that carriages were in readiness to take the party for a drive. Kilrain, Mitchell, Murphy and Moore and others retired to their rooms and packed their grips. It had been given out that the party was

going

out

te the west end for a drive and only the usual excitement was occasioned by the departure of the party. A large crowd was outside the gymnasium to watch for him, but at 3:11 o'clock the party entered a carriage. There were three carriages in waiting, and a committee of the Southern athletic club entered the other two. When

The Governors of Iiouslana and Mississippi Make a Great Demonstration, 'NEW ORLEANS, July 7.—Last night

Captain W. H. Beanham, commanding the Lousiana field artillery, fifty strong, received orders from Governor Nichols to hold his command in readiness to move at a moment's notice.

At 11 o'clock to-night there was considerable excitement in the city over the prospects of military interference, and two military companies in the city, constituting the state national guard, had gathered together about a hundred men. It is stated on reliable authority that Governor Nichols will go out with the troops in person. One company, it is understood, will take a chartered steamer at Milneburg, and cross the lake to Hone island, where the governor believes the fight will take place, owing to its disputed state location, while other oompanies will proceed by train. Orders have also been posted threatening soldiers who don't answer the call with a heavy fine and imprisonment, this being provided in the state's statutes. Word has just been received from Bay St Louie, Miss^ that a company of troops from Mississippi had left tnere this morning for the dividing line between Louisiana and Mississippi, where

party was bound for the scene of the coming battle, and not for the West End. As Kilrain left the gymnasium, in reply to adieus and wishes for his safe and speedy return, he said: "Good-bye, boys, I'll be back with you in a short time, and I'll bring you good news." These confident words, accompanied as they were by a smile and a look of determination, evoked loud cheers. The party set out and were driven direct to the Queen & Crescent 'depot. On arriving there a train, con'sting of engine No. 17, a baggage car two passenger coaches, was found

fi tends entered one of the coaches, and Sullivan and seven of his friends took the other coach, and at 4 o'clock the train departed for the field of battle. At 6:30 o'clock this evening the arrival of both principals and friends on the battle ground was wired to the city.

The sale of tickets at 11 o'clock tonight amounts to $25,000. DEPARTURKOF KXCURSION18TS

They Iieave for Rlchburg, Hiss., 103 Miles from New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, July 7.—About 11

o'clock to-night carriages lined either side of St. Charles, Royal and Canal streets. A little after they were all well filled with excursionists bound for tbe Queen and Crescent depot. By 12 o'clock the depot was filled with the holders of $15 tickets to the prize fight. There were 713 of these tickets sold by the railroad company and probably two hundred more given out to guards and personal friends of the pugilists. The train pull out promptly at 1 o'clock, and so quietly that only those near by were aware of its departure. The crowd left about the grounds and depot was by this time so great that passers-by were compelled to elbow their way. The second train, consisting of eleven coaches and containing nearly eight hundred excureionists, left shortly after two o'clock a. m. The first train will reach the battle-ground at Richburg, Miss., 103 miles from New Orleans about four a. m., and the second train an hour later. The crowd about the depot was quiet and orderlj

Governor Lowry sleeps in peace to night. Every station on all the lines of railroad crossing the bolder, which divides Louisiana from Mississippi, is guarded by militia, who are under instructions to arrest the principals should they attempt to fight in Mississippi. A quad guards the Valley routeat the state lines.

The offioer commanding the detachment will present a copy ot this order to the manager or managers of all railroad companies, and they are lierfe required to furnish such transportation as mayf needed, by special or regular trains, as provu. .' act 105 of the session of 1888. an in W Adjutant General T. A. Carries, A. A. G.

In obedience to the above order, two companies of militia assembled at their respective quarters, and are etill there. The governor having been assured by reputable citizens that the-fight would not take place in this state, it was arranged that Colonel Clem Wolke, of the general staff Colonel T. A. Parries, A. A. G., and Attorney General W. H. Rogers should go to the state line on the excursion train, leaving here at 2 a. m., to be sure that the laws of this state are not violated. The troops will go to the state line at 7 a. m., the railroad company not being able to furnish transportation before that time.

MAD NEWS GATHERERS.

They Are Not Given Any Facilities By the Managers of the Fight. NEW ORLEANS, July 7.—Now that

everything is settled beyond the mooted question as to which is the best man, Sullivan or Kilrain, a few reflections on the management of the mill will be very appropriate. Professional courtesy to the press fraternity has in many instances been ignored, and the result is that even the newspapers bf this city have been compelled to pay $10 and $15 for their regular employes to witness and report the fight. The Associated Press purchased tickets for more than half of their working force. The managers of the Western Unioniin New Orleans became so disgusted with the turn affairs have taken that this afternoon Mr. J. E. Fenn, chief electrician of New York, sent the following message to Captain E. L. Tyler, superintendent of transportation of the Northeastern railroad company:

We have determined to do nothing whatever about furnishing special telegraphic facilities at the light. This is owing to the openly expressed opposition and discourteous treatment of us by the managers, who persistently refuse us Information or accommodations.

The result is that no bulletins can or will be sent from the ring. What report of the fight, or its final result, that goes forward must be fil«d at the Western Union office in this city. The managers of the fight seem to have only one object in view, and that is to squeeze the public out of the last dollar they can, and give nothing in return beyond a chance to see a fight between two men, who are only doing tbe bidding of their backers. Prize fighting, managed as the Sullivan-Kilrain fight, cannot long be countenanced by the public, who believe in fair dealing open and above board action in every particular and especially where wagers have been made and large amounts of money changes hands on the result. If the fight comes off the prize fighting "gentry" and gamblers of New Orleans and New York will have succeeded in securing the money of the public, bilking the special correspondents, local newspapers, Western Union telegraph company, and defied the law of one state and ignored the proclamations of five governors. This clique of lawbreakers are courteous ana smiling to the public until they have them in their meenee. Then, like the spider, they devour their prey.

The Latest News.

NEW ORLEANS, July 7.—The principals, each attended by seven men, took oars at 4 p. m. on the Queen & Creeoent route and arrived at the battle ground at about half-past six in the evening. They will have a quiet night and enter the ring at 7 a. m. refreshed by a good night's sleep at Richburg, near which point the ring has been pitched, 103 miles from New Orleans.

LATEST NEWS FROM SAMOA.

Some of ttie Officers and Mth of the Wrecked Venels Arrive at San Franeiseo.

CAPTAIN MULLAN RELIEVED OF COMMAND, 1

He Returns to Apia Witb tlie Nipsic and. Admiral Kimberly Was Displeased,

TCopyright by the Associated Press 1889.] APIA, Samoa, June 22, per steamer Alameda.—San Francisco, July 7.—The oceanic steamer Alameda touched at Apia and took away nine officers and sixty men of the United States frigate Trenton, who were left here when the steamer Rockton sailed for San Francisco last month, with 150 survivors of the recent hurricane. Admiral Kiinberly and his two staff officers, Lieutenants Rittenhouse and Merriam, and five men will remain in Apia. The admiral states that the department had probably issued orders under the impression that the United States man-of-war Alert was here, but as there was no American war vessel at Apia now he did not care to abandon the place entirely. The admiral intends to remain here until the arrival of the American man-of-war, when he will probably use her for a flagship. As soon as tbe mail, which had been received by the Mariposa arrived here, Lieutenant Graham, the officer in command, went to the barracks and read a dispatch to the men announcing the fact that they were to return this week. Whdgfthe Alameda arrived to-day the men and baggage were placed aboard. In a few houra a number of native boats went out to the steamer and hundreds of natives stood on tbe shore and gave the American sailors a parting cheer.

During the last six weeks the Samoan islands have enjoyed a period of quiet such as has not been known for many months before. The native parties virtually declared a truce early in May, and since that time the practical situation of the country has assumed a peaceful aspect. The only man-of-war here now is the German gunboat Wolf, which arrived from New Zealand June 15. The Nipsic, the only American vessel saved from the storm, has gone to Honolulu for repairs, -finder the cor •. of the Alert. The two ships left jbr Auckland May 9i,h, but in six ^Tthey returned, and Captain M\JB, of the NipBic, and Captain Breer W the Alert, reported that after going/ ~W miles they deemed it inadvisable to proceed further. The Nipsic's rudder broke and she became practically unmanageable. The rudder was repaired, but the vessel made suctr slow progress that there seemed to be no probability of their reaching Auckland before the last week in May, at which agon severe weather might be expected

off

the New Zealand coast. Captain Mullan desired to proceed, if possible, but he laid the matter before the line officers of his own ship. None of the Nipsic officers desired to return, and they expressed willingness to accept the risk ef encountering bad weather. Captain Mullan, however, believed it would be impossible to lower boats from the Nipsic in case it became necessary to do so, and there seemed to be some danger that if the vessel met with rough water Bhe would lose her rudder entirely, and be swept into the trough of the sea and rolled over. Captain Mullan accordingly gave ordera for the ship's return to Apia. Admiral Kimberly expressed considerable displeasure at the return of the Nipsic and Alert, after having gone 250 miles, and reproved Captain Mullan for his action. Captain Mullan asked to be relieved of his command. The admiral at once detached him and ordered Lieutenant Commander H. W. Lyon, of the Trenton, to take command of the Nipsic. He also issued orders for the ships to go to Pago Pago and take on coal and proceed to Auckland. The Nipsic and the Alert sailed for Pago Pago within a tew houra after their return here. The orders were afterward changed and Honolulu made the deetination of the ship instead of Auckland. The vessels sailed from Pago Pago for Honolulu June 1.

The regular mail schooner which runs to Tutuila every month to connect with the ooeanis steamer to and from San Francisco, failedjato meet the north bound steamer jKftndia, which passed May 25th, and consequently no mail left here for America or Europe. Last month Captain Mullan had gone to Tutuila on the Bchooner to take the steamer for San Francisco, but he was left at Leone, a small settlement on the island, for a month to wait for the next steamer to pass. Chief Engineer G. W. Hall, of the Nipsic, who was ill with dysentery, was detached from his vessel by the medical board. He was also at Leone to wait for the June Bteamer, but died on the 16th instant. His home was in Syracuse, N. Y.

During the last two months there has been practically a state ot peace between the two native parties. Matsafa wrote to Tamasese expressing a desire that peace be proclaimed. Tamasese replied that he was willing to ttop fighting for the present, but he declined to make any negotiations for permanent peace until the result of the Berliu conference should be learned here. Mataafa abandoned the fortificatipns early in May* sent his men home and moved to the eastern end of Apia. He stated he desired to show Admiral Kimberly and the American people generally that he desired to do all in his power to promote peace. He said he was ready to abide by the decision of the Berlin conference. Mataafa gave a feast two weeks ago to which he invited over a hundred foreign residents and visitors, including all American naval officers here and the American, British and German consuls. None of the Germans were present. Mataafa made a speech in which he thanked Admiral Kimberly for brnging about the present peaceful state of affairs in Samoa. Most of the Tamasese men have left their camp at Luatuanuu and gone home. A number of them have visited Apia recently and have not been molested by tbe other party.

A fatal accident occurred here two weeks ago, which created much excitement at the time. Two Trenton sailors

were in a saloon kept by a German named Voight. The latter had a loaded volver in bis hand, and in attempting lower the hammer the weapon was discharged. The ball struck one ot the sailors named Kernhardt Ricklin and killed him instantly. There was some doubt as to whether or not the shooting was accidental, so Voight was detained by a guard of Americana untilth® Garman consul was notified tt the affair. The consul held an iuveetigation afterwards and discharged the man. Corporal Jehu Nicholis, of the Trenton marine guard, was killed May 4 by the fall ot a quantity ot lumber under which he was standing.

A box was rsoeived here from the state department at Washington this week containing about one thousand one hundred dollare worth of gold and silver watches and other articles, and 93,900 in gold coin to be distributed among the natives who rendered assistance to the American ships during the hurricane in March. The distribution ot the gifts will be made by Consul Blaoklock.

The latest news from the Berlin conference was received here by the Mariposa this week, by which it was learned that the conference had practically concluded its work. It is not probable that anything will be done towards establishing a government here, until official information is receivtd in regard to the result of the conference.

Commander D. W. Mullan, who was detached from the Nipsic at hia own request two months ago, was also a passenger on the Alameda. The Nipaic is now in command of Lieutenant Commander H. Lyon, of tbe Trenton, and she is at Fanning island, 1,000 miles south ot Honolulu, awaiting the arrival of a cargo of coal. She left Samoa for Honolulu June 1 under care of the United States steamer Alert, but her supply of coal was exhausted in two weeks and she was obliged to stop at Fanning island. The Alert went on to Honolulu and arrived there June 25. A supply of coal was purchased in Honolulu to be shipped to Fanning island on a sailing vessel. The Alert was to have sailed from Honolulu with the coaling vessel about July 5. It is expected the Nipsic and Alert will reach Honolulu by August 1.

A POSSIBLE CBONIN CLUB.

A letter Which is Supposed to Have Been Written by a Suicide. BUFFALO, July 7.—This afternoon a

water-soaked letter With illegible address was found on the shore of Third Sister Island, by Charles B. Smith, of Niagara Falls. It purports to have been written by a man premeditating suicide to hie brother, and is dated May 20th and signed "Ed." What lends oolor to the authenticity of the letter is the finding on June 27th of a decomposed body a man, which Was buried without identification at Drummondsville.

The following is a full copy of the letter found at Niagara Fall: WESTERN HOTEL, NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, May 20,1889,

DEAR BROTHER: I know that what I am about to write will drive the blood from your heart. I am about to bring an end to all my trials and troubles. God knows that life until recently was as sweet to me as to any one, but the strain of late has been too much for me. I cannot go into the presence of our Holy Father with my mind so stained. I must ease my mind. Why are not you with me so that I can talk to you? You have been a true friend. I never had more to say to you than I have now. What a fearful tale I could tell, but dare not put it on paper. For all I know punishment will never be meted out to me on earth for the part I took in it. You cannot imagine how I have been tried since I left you. May God forgive it all. When I left you I went right to Chicago, and you can guess from reading the papers as to being missing how all oame out in ridding us of that devilish traitor ana spy of our actions. God only knows why such a fearful change has come over me since that night. I left the city at once, and hurried here to finish the part that had been given me. My brain is on fire. I have waited so for THE TRUNK to come. Each day's delay has increased my frenzy to the higheet pitch, and now I know the plans, for all they were so caref .iy laid, must have miscarried, and I dread the consequences. I cannot stand it any more. I am going to end it all. I want you to remember that I have been loyal to Ireland's cause, but now I am sick and all broke up. Every sinoe that fearful night my Bleep has been filled with fearful dreams, and now after removing from me everything that can identify me, I shall free myself from more by suicide, which I hear is so easy—only one step into the swift current and all is done. My body instead of his will be picked up and buried with tbe unknown dead if ever found. Good bye. (Signed) ED-, 20.

The invitation is extended to those who favor a distinct American policy regarding its finances, who believe that full, legal tender notes, greenbacks issued by the government for. value received in promoting the general welfare, constitute the money which marks our advancing civilization, make the best money the world ever say, and should become the permanent circulating medium of the American people, the life of whose free government they Baved and that a party bearing their name should be perpetuated to keep these great truths constantly before the people. Those who believed with the prophet of old 'That Money Answerth all Things,' and that no other reform can be wisely considered nor honeetly. determined until the great economic wrongB brought about by bad legislation have been corrected, and the money question forever settled in the interest of the whole people and who are willing to act in accordance with the spirit of the resolution passed by the constitutional* congress in 1773, viz., Not to eat, drink, wear, nor use anything manufactured in Great Britain nor after one year, trade with any one who deals in goods brought here under the British flag."

Fired Three Mullets Into His Wife. LA SALLE, 111., July 7.—Captain A.

Goshinski, of the Polish guards of this city, fired three bullets into his sleeping wife this morning, and then tried to end his own life. Mrs. Ghosbinski, in her night drees and with the blood spurting from her wounds, jumped through a window and ran to a neighbor's house. With a revolver in each hand Goshinski climbed out upon the balcony of his house, where he defied the police and the fire department was called. A stream of water was turned on the enraged captain, whereupon he placed the muzzle of one pistol over his heart and the other in his ear and pulled the trigger. Both he and his wife are still alive, but have no chance of recovery. Financial difficulties formed the motive for the tragedy. _•

TERRE 8AUTE LOST THE GAME.

The Champions Played Well in the Field but Couldn't Win.

DANVILL.E SECURED FIVE RUNS TO TERRE HAUTE'S ONE.

The Blessed Privilege of a "Kick" Is not Denied the Home Club's Friends, However.

About nine hundred persons attended the game yesterday, and witnessed the defeat of the home club by the Danvilles. This was the third game lost by the home club, of the twenty-four league games played. The visitors outplayed the home club, and earned their victory. The game was not characterized by brilliant plays on either Fide, but was Fvisj interesting and played with a vim during the first half. After the 4wi third inning the home club appeared a little sullen because they did not agree with Umpire Brennan in his rulings. They kicked until the sixth inning but not BO as to delay the game, the kick being strictly professional. Mauck persisted in drawing the ball down by his right hip and turning his left side to the batter while delivering the ball and the home club and the majority, if not all of the spectators, believed it to be an illegal delivery. But the umpire did not de cide so and would not give the batters bases on balls. This caused the au- ^-r dience to make scathing remarks. Brennan said last evening that some of the balls were illegal, but that tbe majority of them were all right. The league rules by which the game is governed distinctly say that the pitcher must face the batter. The rulee also say that tbe pitcher must hold the ball in front of him immediately before delivering it. Mauck would so hold the ball, but would stop it momentaiilybybis right hip. The rules were changed 'or this season to prevent this, but the umpire said that, although Mauck drew the ball to his hip, he did did not stop it there but kept it in motion. On the ground that he kept it in motion while performing those contortions, the delivery was called legal. Tbe umpire may have been right, but it did not appear so and the audience told him so. Brennan was also wild in his decisions of balls and strikes during the firet few innings, but grew more accurate toward tbe last. But these things did not win the game for Danville. They out-batted the home club, and they were stronger in the outfield. The following is tbe score:

NOT F.S.

Conley has gone home but is expected here to play to-day. The game to-day will be called at 4 p. between the home club and the Danvillee.

The home club will rest to-morrow and will play at Champaign on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Umpire Brennan had been quite a favorite until yesterday. But he was g. satisfied that he was right and stuck to it. We admire his grit.

Conley was absent from the left field yesterday and Dougan could not till his place. He is usually a safe batter, too, v: but he struck out every time he went to the bat yesterday.

Schneider is a good man in every particular, except that he can not throw a man out at second base. For that reason the opposing club has the greater number of stolen bases.

The home club has been weakened by the loss of Bannin, who played right $ field when he was not catching. Stewart is as good a batter as Bannin, but he can not ao good work in the field nor in irunning bases. lie was caught napping yesterday nt second when he 4 should have made a safe play.

Dorsey is the only one of the home club's pitcheis who has not allowed a batsman to make a home run. Kelly knocked a home run off Eiteljorg and Broderick knocked a home run off Dougan. Dorsey is hit as often as Eiteljorg or Dougan, but a safe hit is seldom made from his delivery. Dorsey iB als^^ one of the beet batters and is a gooc^ batter and center fielder.

Captain Lotz, of the home club, seemed inclined to agree with the umpire in his decisions concerning Mauck'e pitching. He said that they could not find the ball yesterday was the principal ,f trouble, and that if they had struck the ball hard, there would not have been a word of complaint. He also spoke of the remarks made by some of the spectators and home players, who reoommended that he Btop the game if the umpire would not call Mauck down on his pitching. lie said: "I could have delayed the game, and we might have left the grounds but the spectators came out there to see a game of ball, and not to see a game of kicking, and I was going to do what I could to furnish as good a game as possible. Some ot the balls were illegal, and the most of them were legal, I think."

In an interview with a member of tbe Danville club last evening he stated that Manck was their best pitcher, but that he was easily rattled and was spt to lose his head at any time. He is also suffering from two or three boils under hii pitching arm.
