AA week from today the members of the Wash- ington Base Ball Club are expected to report |.here for preliminary practice. The first game | scheduled is to take place two days later, when j the new team plays the Georgetown University nine. Jim O'Rourke, the new eeptain-manager of the team, is expected the latter part of this week. The Washington club fs not in the best possible con- dition. In fact, few of the clubs are as far advanced is usual at this time of the | rear.

Draney, secretary of the Wash- ington Jockey Club, says that the sprinz meet- ing at the Benning track will be one of the most interesting in the history of the club. Ivy City failed to attract the residents of the capi- tal, and after losing some 230,000 the manage- ment decided to close. Ivy City is, therefore, out of the way of Benning, and ihe meeting at the latter track will begin oa April 24 and con- tinue two weeks. ¢lub close today with Mr. Draney. have till midnight to mai! entries or to telegrap’s them. ‘The stakes are on!y six in number, but they are worthy of the attention of those who have early horses. or who have horses that they | want to get in cundition for the spring bandi- caps at Gravesend and Morris Par Green Morris attributes Lis success early in the season to the fact that he takes his bores to Washington to get them hardened and | thoro Owners Morris Park than the youngsters of any other stable.

Fred Pfeffer bas permanently retired from base ball. He said the other afternoon that he would dispose of his interests at Louisville the first of the month and go to Chicago, where he | and Col.

Gym- nasium Saturday Night. | The special sparring contests given at the | | Commbia Athletic Club on Saturday were admitted by all present to be the best exhibition that has ever taken place in| that gymnasium. The arrangements were well made, except the accommodation for the | press, and an audience of some 900 persons were witnesses of the bouts.

The Feather-weight Champion Will Train | Within Foriy-cight Hours. | Champion feather-weig! George Dixon has agreed to take the piace left vacant by Jack Skelly and will meet George Siddons before the Coney Island Athletic Clab tonight. Arrange- ments to this end were consummated yesterda afternoon by the ofiicials of the Con Cinb and both Siddons and Dixon, after a long | and vexing discussion, signed articles of agree- | ment to battle twelve rounds for the original purse--22,500. Dixou is in pretty fair eondi- | tion to put upa hurricane coytest for twelve DIXON TO FI rounds. In order to meet Siddons Dixon has cancelled his theatrical engajersen: for tonight, and will train arduou:ly for the contest during the verv brief space of time he is allowed in which to get himself in condition. Despite the advantage which Siddons will have over the sable boxer as regards condition Dixon is very coniident that he will have little trouble in lowering the | colors of the New Orleans pugilist. in agreeing to meet Siddons in so shorts time Dixon has earned the good will of the | sporting public.

They also ask aid in securing the passage of alaw allowing boxing contests before incorporated athletic clubs. In view of the prevention of the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight two years ago not much stock is taken in this proposition. Choynski Challenges Fitzsimmons. Parson Davies has issued the following: “On behalf of Joe Choynski I challenge Bob | Fitzsimmons to tight for a side wager of $5,000 and the largest purse obtainable, the match to be at cateh weights, to take place in from three to six months from date.” Davies says be meaus business and that Fitz- simmons can communicate with him at Los Angeles until next Wednesday.
