GOSSIP OF RING MID FIELD.
William"0urti8 Re-eleoted Presi
dent of the Metropolitans.
Plenty of Good Talent Will Appear
at Corbett'a Reception.
1 ho Metropolitan Association held a meet
ing last night and did some wl-e and some
unwise things. Among the former was tbe
re-election of " Father BUI" Curtis as Presi
dent. How the Association could bare seri
ously considered putting any one clso In that
place as long aa tbero was a chance of Mr.
Curtis accepting Is difficult to understand.
There Isn't another man In tbo athletic
business as well fitted to control such an er
ratic body as tho Metropolitan Association.
Another wise move, was tho Introduction by
C C. Hughes of a measuro to raise tho price of
prizes to 950. Even t-10 Is a small limit, and
the Metropolitan Association should lose no
time In adopting It.
Tho unwlso procedure ot the Association
was tbe retention ot so many members on
the Board of Managers. A dozen Is an ample
sufficiency and anything over that only con
tuses thlngs,tpartlcularly when there are men
on tho Board wbo put In an appearance about
once a year and then don't kqow a sprint race
from a pole vault.
The treasurer's account showed the Asso
ciation to be In debt several hundred doUars.
To-day's annual meet at Manhattan Field
should square any deficiency. Among the
big attractions tbls afternoon will be the
appearance of Bicyclist Zimmerman, who
smashes records as often as be eats a meaL
Zimmerman will contend against tbe three
Manhattan cracks Berlo, 'laylor and Ban

McPhee, " Arlle" Latham and the rest of tbe
t lnclnnatls happened along tbls way yester
day, and although tbey made a gallant effort
and played interesting ball, as they nearly
always do, Mike Tlernan's home run and
l.rnch's rocky umpiring were too much for
them.
Tlernan's homer In tbe fourth sent In four
runs. In the ninth Lynch called Browning
out when Doyle dropped the formers fly, and
little wonder uomlskey kicked. Lynch a so
mode two other questionable decisions In
