The formation of an Eastern League of
amateur athletic clubs would be a very good
way to promote harmony In the ranks of the
warring athletes. This Leaguo would con.
solldate under its own organisation the elubs
now arrayed under the hostile banners of the
N. four A's and A. A. U. President White,
of the Berkeley Athletlo Club, would make
an able President of the uew League. His
remarks regarding National champlonshlph
hit the nail squarely on the head. The
Berkeley C ub, though a member of A. A.U..
still In reality ocouulcs a neutral position be
tween the two existing organisations.
It is a new and prospectively influential
club and its mediation ot the deplorable hos
Ulltyof thotwo factions could not te objec
tionable to either. As President While says,
tho ohampiouship in either the N. four A. or
A. A. u. does not count for what it should.
The athletic supremacy, in any event, of tho
N. four A. and A. A. U. combined would
mean a great deal,
Tho chief athletic event of to-night is the
annual amateur boxing and wrostliug cham
pionship meeting of tho N. four A's at Tam
many lull. The following aro the events to
bo contested: Doxing, bautam-w eight, 105
pounds and under : feather. 115 pounds aud
under ; spec.al. 125 pounds and timlor s
welter, 140 pounds and under; middle, 158
pounds and under. Wrestling, 135 pounds
and under. Gold medals go to first and nil.
ver ones to pocoud in each ovout. In tho
preliminaries. Saturday, John Laik ns. of the
Hornbachor Club, and J. J. Gorman, of the
Star Athletio Club, were the winners of
the 125-pound boxing bout. T. ,1. O'Dav.
ScottiHh. American Athlitic Club, and
Otto Cramer, Hornbaoher Club, won
the 135-pound wrestling. The winners
of the 1 IB-pound loxing bonis were A. Trie
dell, Hornbachor t J. lloach. Star : F. Haley,
New Yoik City; H. Swagor, of this oitv. and
John Kelly, National. The winner of the
105 pound boxing wero F. liaudall, llorn
hacher; Joseph Golden, Htagg; M. Farrell,
Star; J. narnett.Atlanllo.ond J. J. Do Cour
sey, Alantio.
Trof. Graves, the colored pugilist, who
seems to have a hard time to get on a match,
now wants to meet Peter Jackson. Graves
is tho winner of thirtv.four battles. He has
suftered but one defeat unci that at the hands
of Jimmy Carroll, of Brooklyn, four years
ago. He has improved vastly since then.
Jack Lyman desires a benefit. His pluck
in standing Hill v Murray off during thirty
nine bloody rounds, when ho claims ho was
sick, is phenoineual. Lvman was trained
down seven pounds in one day the day he
fought. His Illness prevented his eating anv.
thing all day. His friends have finally pre
vailed upon him to'accept a benefit May 27,
at Sayor Hall. Thtrty-sixth street and Eighth
avenue. Billy Murray will wind-up with
bim.
Terra Cotta is the choice of many betting
men for the Brooklyn Handicap. Terra and
Jimmy McLaughlin arrived at the Brooklyn
Jockey Club track yesterday.

Jake Kilraln writes to ilichard K. Fox that
he does not desire any reception or display
when he arrives about the last week in
May. but after preoting a ftw friends will go
to his home in Baltimore. He spoiks con
fidently of his ability to whip Bullivau.
A cable despatch to the .ToliVe Gaiette savs
that Jem Smith has renewed his challenge to
fight Mitchell for 200 a side. Joe Thompson
says he will match Frank P. Slavin to fight
anv man in the world for .500 to XI. 000 a

Bo, one flue day, when some one congratulated
the great man who had writtou "The Master
piece of Crime," and was swinging tho censor
before htm with might and main, the great man
answered to his faco:
"But, air, you would congratulate mo in a
different manner if you knew tho last word
about this thing My story is no romance; it
happened Thecrimowas actually committed
as I have told it, and I am tho man who did it.
My true name is Oscar Lapissotte."
Ho said this coldly, with a lofty air of con
viction, separating his phrases as one who
wished to be bclieed.

equal to Baudelaire's best ''

in mystification, by which Anatole Deiroici
iilied to pats himiclf off as an anassln. De

hehad acted In a way mechanically. Now he
