SPORTING NOTES.
fitllle McCoy, a local pugilist, Is very
sore over the treatment given him by
Prof. S. Joe Ullman, Instructor of the
Montgomery Athletic club. He was seen
by an Age-Herald reporter, nnd said his
grievance was Just, Inasmuch as he had
concluded arrangements to meet Ullman
in the Montgomery Athletic club rooms
last night. He had gone Into aotive
training for two weeks and had trained
down very satisfactorily and was all
ready to leave yesterday afternoon, when
he received a letter from Professor Ull
man, which caused his Indignation. The
letter stated that McCoy had failed to
let him hear from him and he had con
cluded that McCoy was not coming, and
had accordingly made no preparations to
meet him.
This was not according to the exist
ing agreement, said McCoy, aa the pro
fessor was informed at the time of the
MoElroy-Callahan bout that he (McCoy)
was in active training and would surely
be ready for the meeting.
Mr. McCoy expressed great anxiety
to meet the professor and said he was
ready to meet him at any time, pro
vided, however, the expense money was
posted, he having gone to considerable
expense for last night’s meet and did not
care to waste any more time or money. 1
There is some talk of getting up a
club similar to the one now in existence
in Montgomery, and if it materializes
| some exciting contests may be expected
| during the* winter.
The Birmingham Athletic club has is
sued the following notice:
Birmingham Athletic Club,
Birmingham, Oct. 3.
To All Foot Ball Fiends and Enthusiasts:
The grid iron season is upon us. and all
who are interested in the team that rep
resents the Birmingham Athletic club
l are requested to meet the club committee
in the Athletic club rooms on First ave
nue Friday night, October 4, to arrange
for this season.
The committee appointed by the board
of governors of the Athletic club consists
of Messrs. E. Redd, L. C. Brown, J. J.
Smith and M. T. Wilcox.
There is every indication that this will
be an active year in the world of sports.
Several applications have been made by
the foot ball teams of sister cities for
dates on which to play the team of the
Birmingham Athletic club and there is
promise that Birmingham’s eleven will
be a strong one. Friday’s meeting should
be fu representative gathering of the
club’s heavy weights.
New Orleans Don’t Want It.
Washington. Oct. 3.—A New Orleans
special says: "A special from New York
last night stated that, as the result of the
passing of the emergency bill by the
legislature of Texas, the Olympic club
has made a bid for the fight. There is
no foundation for the report. The execu
tive board of the club held a meeting
last night, but had no authority to act
on the matter, and did not consider it.
Under the present construction of the
law in this state, it is not likely that any
bid will be made for the fight.”
Mexico Anxious for theFight.
El Paso, Tex., Oct. 3.—The city Is ex
cited over the good prospects of the prize

information. The Texas Pacific is said

fight to Juarez.

Clay Reynolds of Montevallo com
manded a Confederate scout during the
war and was distinguished for Ids cour
age and daring. Upon one occasion a
federal officer galloped up to a squad of
ten men under Reynolds with pistol
drawn. Reynolds said: "Boys, he is too
brave not to have a fair chance. I’ll try
him alone,” and thereupon he rode out
to meet his antagonist. Several shots
were interchanged, the other Confeder
ates looking on. Reynolds had one hall
to pierce his coat collar and another his
vest, but finally shot his antagonist
through the heart killing him.

CLEVELAND WON AGAIN,
Baltimore’s Chances to Win the Temple Cup
Are Growing Beautifully Less-Mc
Kean Did Excellent Work.
Cleveland, O., Oct. 3.—Cleveland won
the second game of the Temple cup se
ries in a walk today. They made enough
runs in the first inning to win the game
and Hanlon's men had no chance to win
at any stage. Cuppy pitched a wonder
ful game. He w!U hit safely but live
times, and two of these were of the
scratch order. He had great speed and
control, giving hut two bases on balls.
While Ho (Ter was not hit hard, the Cleve
lands' hits were bunched and most of
them counted In the run column. Mc
Kean's work at short stop was gilt
edged. He accepted twelve out of thir
teen chances, most of them hard ones.
His only error was the fumbling of a
ground hit that bounded badly. Between
8000 and 10.000 people saw the game, and
it was necessary to establish a two-base
hit ground rule. Cleveland scored three
runs In the first singles by Burkett and
McKean, a two-base by Zimmer and a
passed ball. Score:
