Starbuck claimed that he did not owe the money and réfused to pay it, hence his suspension. OLIVER P. CAYLOR DEAD. The Well-Known Base Ball ‘Writer Dies at Winona, Minn. Oliver P.

There he became editor of the Sporting Times, a weekly started in the interests of the league as against the brotherhood. His principal forte was base ball. He be- came famous from one end of the land to | the other through his writicgs on that branch of sport for the New York Herald. He kad a style peculiarly his own; a pun- gent style, which attracted attention from the ordinary person who knew not the dif- ference between a base hit and an error, up to the most excitable of base ball cranks. Those who hed never even seen a base ball player in uniform, and who took not the slightest interest in the sport, read his reports ofthe game with pleasure. It was but a few weeks ago that he left New York for Minnesota, where he thought to improve his health. His bedy will be taken to that citv for interment. STELZNER BESTS McAULIFFE. Fitzsimmons’ Old Partner Victorious in the Fifteenth Round. LOS ANGELES, Cal., October 20.—Joe McAuliffe, the “mission giant” of San Francisco, added another to his string of defeats last night, when Jack Stelzner, Fitzsimmons’ old sparring partner, received the decision over him at the end of a fif- teen-round contest. It was anybody’s fight at the end of the fourteenth round, and the referee an- nounced that three additional rounds would have to be fought unless the pace was changed. Stelzner changed the pace. At the opening of the last round he tapped Joe lightly on the face. The big fellow tried to respond, but his attempts were weak. There was a rapid exchange of short arm punches, and then Stelzner put a stiff lett on Joe’s face and followed it with a terrible right punch straight on the nese. A crimson stream flowed down cyer Jce’s body. Stelzner followed with several others, but seemed to lack the steam to put his man out. He kept up his punching on the big man until the end of the round. The referee promptly awarded the fight to Stelzner, who had escaped without punish- ment, and was fresh and strong. Stelzner weighed 173 pounds, while Mc- Auliffe scaled 220 pounds. MeAuliffe was a ten to six favorite. FITZ AND CORBETT TO MEET. Dan Stuart Talks of Another Athletic Carnival at Carson.

Corbett was batted freely in the first and third innings and his support was bad. The Orioles, by lucky hitting and aided by errors of Tebeau and Nash, picked up seven runs in the fourth and fifth inn- ings. In the eighth the All-Americans chalked up three earned runs on a triple, two singles and a double. ‘The fielding of Lange and Burkett and Stahl’s batting were the features. The weather was rainy. Emerson Hawley and Frank Killen are both playing thinking parts in the drama, “Will They Stick; or, Are They Doomed?” —Sporting Life. The Cincinnati papers say the All-Ameri- cans “played all around the Baltimures Sunday,” and that the “Orioles were slov- enly in their field work.” “Jennings was away off in his fielding,” said one paper, “and had no fewer than four err weak arm seemed weaker than though he hit in his old-time style. The season of deals ani trades in base ball seems to have fairly commenced, and every magnate, both big and litt endeavoring to “gold brick” his “Charlie” Comiskey began the pertorni- ance, according to the dispaiches, by trad- ing George for Laily of St. Loui curing Burke and Holliday from ( That last report looks fishy. What has “Commy” to give for Burke and Holliday? Among the first twenty sluggers Beston and Baltimore each has five, Philadelphia three, Louisville two and Pittsburg, Cleve- jand, New York, Chicago and Washington one each. Cincinnati, St. Louis and Brook- lyr have none. Five ladies are traveliag with the Balti- more and All-American teams, inciuging Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Kelley, the brides; Mrs. Wm. J. Clarke and Mrs. Wm. Nash. One thing can be regarded us a cinch— Ned Hanlon will get few chances to swap piayers. Everybody is next to ‘Ned's’ game now. It is a pairfully obvious fact that when Hanlon gets throug with a man the man fs of little usa to any cne else— witness the cases of Esper, Hemming, Mc- Mahon and Donnelly, during the last sea- son, and Brouthers, Tredway, etc., in for- mer years.

It is a well-known fact that the very best makers of clothing in the country at some time or another close out their surplus stocks at an enormous sacrifice. There isn’t a clothier in town who is not continually on the lookout for such opportunities, atid when they get them they put them in with their regular stock and ask you usual prices, on which the profits are from-a hundred té‘twostrandred per cent. .

Vaughn immediately got on his dignity and his muscle. He is twice the size of Griffin, but the bluff was called and others had to part the men. Vaughn is the man who, after a few verbal compliments, waited until McGraw turned his back and then hit him with a ball. The subject on which Manager Watkins does descant is of surpassing interest to the great game. He told the writer the other day that the Pittsburg team next year would indulge in no discussions whatever with the umpires. He intends to have all the talking done by the captain, and the less from him the better. He has watched games galore from the grand stand and, understands the position of the people on the umpire-player debate. He means to have a team of players, not talkers. To this end he should be supported by thet Pittsburg patrons of the sport.—Pittsburg Times. So many changes were made in the per- sonnel of the Baltimore and All-American base ball teams just before starting that few people know just what players are making the trip. The teams lined up a8 follows in the game in Cincinnati Sunday: Baltimore—Donovan, right ¥ield; Jennings, shortstop; Griffin, center field; Kelley, third base; Doyle, first base; Reitz, second base; O'Brien, left field; Clarke, catcher; Pond, pitcher. All-America—Burkett, left field; Lange, GREAT BOOK BARGAIN. To master a science requires years of study and a constant watch- fulness to keeh up with new developments.
