Until the veil of secrecy is officially
Ahrown aside the St. Ix>uia spectacle will
remain largely a pantomime. The last play
on the diamond is well equipped with ac
tors. Thus far none of their lines have
reached Fandom. Speculation, however,
will soon be followed by certainty. When
John T. Brush is ready to tell of his part
in the deal he will speak. Not a moment
before. Enthusiasts will, perhaps, remem
ber that this same John T., acting for the
theatrical moguls of Hoosierdom—Dickson
and Talbott—tried to land the Cleveland
franchise, but failed. St. Louis with its
present collection of also-rans is a better
investment than Cleveland, with a cham
pion team.
A change in management is all that St.
Louis needs to make it regain the old rank
as one of the gold mines of the game.
Building up the team will came after
ward. St. Ix>uis has lost confidence in
Chris Von Der Abe. He has flirted with
two many strange gods—the bangtails and
chutes—to suit the fancy of the fans.
Doubtless John T. is acting for a syndicate.
He may have a slice of the stock when the
reorganization takes place. Treasurer
Billy Schmidt, of Marion county, who is a
credited participant in the game, was one
of those identified with the old Indianap
olis League club and it may be that the
old fever has seized him. It was through
Schmidt, by the way, that Ashley Lloyd
met John T. Brush and thus became inter
ested in baseball.
From St. Louis comes another story, that
a Mound City syndicate, headed by S. F.
Myerson, Gus Frey and George Munson,
had concluded to take up the option they
held on the club, and that they would give
$85,000 for the franchise.
Story No. 3 has it that both A. G. Spald
ing and A. C. Anson are interested in the
deal, but if they were it isn’t quite likely
that John T. would be asked to act as their
minister plenipotentiary.
One of the old idols of th'e sporting
world saw the New Year dawn at Black
well’s Island, says a New York dispatch.
John Hughes, one of the famous padders
of the hoof, a star among the pedestrians
when that craze was most pronounced, is
a wreck, physical and all ibut mental.
Three months on the island was 'the
holiday sentence given "The Lepper,” ar
rested in New York as a disorderly. Old
and penniless, Hughes had dropped out of
sight and mind. For two years he has
existed largely on the charity of old-time
friends. Not a dollar of the $50,000 which
he won on the tanbark track remains.
Tens of thousands of Cincinnatians have
cheered "Hughes the Lepper.” He appear
ed in several of the six day’s races in Por
kopolis when the sport was popular. I
remember the scenes of wild enthusiasm
that marked the close of the go-as-you
please under the tent at Twelfth and Cen
tral avenue. That was back in ’BO. Fred
Englehardt was the moving spirit in that
affair. Hughes won that race. He traveled
548 miles, and, in addition to SI,OOO, he
was presented with a magnificent gold
watch. His wife, who had been his con
stant companion, was the proudest one in
that throng, while the Tipperary lad —
rough and foot sore —smiled his pleasure.
That was nearly eighteen years ago. The
echoes of the cheers have long since died
away. “The Lepper's” latter days are
mos't unhappy.
Phil Dwyer, the turfman and former
backer of Jim Corbett, who has kept quiet
regarding the possibility of another match
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons, relieved
his mind 'today, says a New York special
to 'the Cincinnati Enquirer. He is posi
tive that Fitz and Corbett will meet again,
and is willing to wager that 'the fight will
lake place before the end of this year.
“Fitz cannot well afford to stay in the
background.” said Dwyer. “He knows that
the public will not stand for it. A fighter,
like a jockey, must stick to his profession.
He cannot get along in idleness. So it is
with Fitzsimmons. He must fight, and he
must let Corbett have another chance.”
When asked if he would back Corbett
against Fitz he replied:
"I am out of the game altogether. I am
going to be an ordinary citizen in the fu
ture, and will take in all the fights if I
can spare the time to get there. But
don’t forget that, Corbett and Fitz will
fight. 1 am positive on that score.
"They say” Parson Davies has gone to
New Orleans with the view of getting Jim
Hall to meet Kid McCoy at the middle
weight limit of 158 pounds.
W. M. Singerly, of Philadelphia, whose
connection with the recent bank failure
may affect his racing plans for the year,
has claimed the following names for 2-
year-olds with the Jockey Club: Little

Tim Hurst is the man Chris Von Der
Ahe wants to manage the Browns, and
negotiations have been renewed.
Chris Von Der Ahe has informed Presi
dent Arthur Soden that Jack Taylor’s re
lease is not on the market.
Pitcher Jim Sullivan, of the Boston’s,
has gone to Asheville, N. C., where he
hopes to regain his strength.
The death of L'ncas a few days ago calls
attention tc. the fact that the sons of Lex
ington have now nearly all gone the way
of all flesh, and it is doubtful if more than
four or five are now living, writes Clint
Riley. Fiddlesticks is at Mr. Belmont’s
place near Lexington, Ky. Duke of Magen
ta is a stable companion of Meddler at
Mr. Forbe’s place near Boston. Wyndham
Walden still has the hero of the Centen
nial year—-Tom Ochiltree —on his farm
near Middleburg. Md. Wanderer may still
be alive, but if any others are living is
in forgotten obscurity.
Harvey Smith has informed Earle Wag
ner that he will not play Sunday ball, and
he will not be found at Washington next
season. It was this same Smith who did
much toward keeping the Reds out of the
Temple Cup scrimmage in '96.
"I do not expect to send out contracts
to the Reds until late in the week,” said
Ashely Lloyd on Monday. Relative to the
drafting of Pitchers Phil Corcoran and
M. H. Hawley, the Cincinnati’s treasurer
said: "I knew nothing of Corcoran’s case,
but Hawley is the pitcher Charley Miller
recommended. I suppose both men will
be sent .to Indianapolis.”
Kid McCoy arrived in Cincinnati Sunday
and in an interview asserted his willing
ness to meet Choynski at 162 pounds,
which is four pounds over the middle
weight limit.
G. W. Green, once manager op the Cu
ban Giants, was fatally injured by an ex
plosion of dynamite at New Rochelle, N.
Y. He had left diamond affairs and had
made a hit at a contractor.
SERVED FOR CRANKS.
Billy Earle has a younger brother in
Quakerdom who is trying to catch a con
tract.
Chicago will enter the lists for "Dusty”
Miller's release. He is wanted to play left
field.
The gilt-edge twirler, Hughes, who joins
the Orioles next season, is a pretty clever
hitter.
Syracuse has secured George Washing
ton Blackburn, who was with Baltimore
a few weeks last season. •
Ned Hanlon will return the Temple Cup
in accordance with the wishes of both the
donor and the league.
The California League will be in line
next season with eight clubs—the result of
the visit of the Orioles and All-Americans
to the Pacific coast.
Frank Selee, who has been loitering in
Chicago for some days, says that the Bos
tons will only spend a fortnight in the
South Because they "don’t need very much
training.”
Boating will no longer be on the list of
sports at the Polo Grounds. New drainage
arrangements will be made, and left field
ers will not hereafter be compelled to wear
gum boots.
Mr. Mercer and 'Gene DeMontreville did
not spend many evenings home together
singing "Comrades.” In fact the atmos
phere between them was as chill as the
air in an ice factory.
Mayor C. W. Hardin, speaking for Tex
arkana, has invited the Chicagos to train
at their Texas city. San Antonio’s suc
cess in getting the Reds has caused other
Lone Star centers to get on a hustle.
Charles H. Byrne will be missed from
the councils of the moguls. He was one of
the brainiest of the men in the baseball
business. In his early days he was a re
porter. Perhaps that was the reason he
was one of the best friends that scribes
had at league meetings. Dependence could
always be placed in the interpretations he
put upon affairs.
