DISCUSSING THE PLACE OF BATTLE Stites Easily Wins the Two- Mile Race. > CURRENT SPORTING Ege NOTES SAN FRANCISCO, January 30.—Wm. Kenyon Wheelock, the partner of Fight Promoter Dan Stuart, is here fresh from the scene of his triumph in Nevada. Wheelock said yesterday that he was thor- cughly satisfied with all that had trans- pired at Carson, and that Corbett and Fitzsimmons would meet in the ring in that state beyond the shadow of a doubt. He sald decisely that’ neither Stuart nor Limself had given the slightest intima- tion as to what particular place in Nevada would be selected for the fight. “Of course, all the towns up that way are bringing pressure to bear, but a whole lot of things will need to be considered in locating the arena. Every one can rest assured that no decision will be reached in that direction until Mr. Stuart puts in an appearance. I expect he will be along inside of a week, and then the matter of a ring site will be taken up.” Wheelock said that in all probability there would be one other contest in ad- dition to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons match. “We will very likely have a two-fight program,” he said. “Mr. Stuart is anxious to get some one to go against Peter Maher, and if Goddard were in this country now he would undoubtedly be given the chance. We thought of Sharkey, and it might be that an effort will be made to induce the sailor to meet Maher. We heard that Sharkey is not looking for a fight. but us it has been frequently said that he bars nobody I hardly see how he can refuse a chance of this kind. Anyhow, if he does not think well of it, we will find some one else.” “The contest between Corbett and Fitz- sin mons will take place by daylight,”” aa Wheelock. “The intention is to have ic between noon and 3 o'clock in the af nocn. George Siler of Chicago will be the referee, the principals having selected him at the time the match was rranged. CHICAGO, January 30.—James J. Corbett will in all probability train at Denver for his fight with Fitzsimmons. After hear- ing that the prize fight bill had become a law by the signature of the governor of Nevada he sald: “I shall probably train in or near Den- ver. I den't know much about the nealth resorts of Nevada. I see that they are looking up a place as training ground for one of us, but I know nothing about it. I have never been in the state except when passing through on the cars. DALLAS, Tex., January Stuart said when informed that Gov. Sad- ler had signed the bill licensing glove con- tests, that the news did not surprise him. Mr. Stuart said he was especially pleased with the feature of the bill requiring cer- tificates from physicians that the boxers were in good health and physically pr pared for the contest In which they were to engage. Mr. Stuart said he had received a_mes- sage from Corbett saying that he would start at@cnce from Chicago for Kansas City and engage in preliminary light train- fag. He elso received a telegram from Martin Julian that Fitzsimmons’ hands are in perfect condition, and that Fitzsimmons had gone into regular, but for the present, light training. Mr. Stvart said he would start within the next three days for Nevada, and as soon as possible make his choice of a town for the battle. When that is dons he gin work at once on an amphitheater cap- able of housing from 25,000 to 30,000 spec- tators. He also said he was going io try to add a new feature to the carnival in the shape of a grand wing shot event, to be participated in by the leading wing shots of the country, including Edgar Mur- phy and Fred Hoey SIGNED BY GO 30.—Dan. A. ADLER. The Prize Fight License Bill Bec a Law in Nevada. Governor Sadler of Nevada signed the gleve contest bill yesterday afternoon, thus irsuring the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight for Nevada. Telegrams were received from governors of many other states, imploring Governor Sadler not to sign the bill, and also tele- grams from noted ministers, but he said that If the people of the state wanted the fight he considered he had no right to veto the measure. When asked to make a state- ment, he said that he had been requested to submit to an interview many times recently, but had not deemed it proper to say anything pending legislation. “I signed the bill because I see no reason why I should oppose so large a number of the legislature elected to represent the peo- ple.” “Now that it is law, what course will you pursue in the event of an attempt to bring the Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight to this te?” “The bill is now a law and the people have signified they wish it sp. I will do all in the power of my office to protect any one operating under it.” ‘So the fight is a sure thing for Nevada, ig it?” asked Corbett, when informed tthat the bill had passed both houses of the Nevada legislature, and had heen signed by the governor. “Well, it’s a great thing to have it under the legal sanction, but it might as well be pulled off right here in Chicago as far as moral considerations are concerned, “Nevada suits me perfectly for a fighting place. It may be a little cold there, and I was counting on a fight down south where it is warmer. However, it is all one to me. “It’s a high altitude out there, but I'll fix that by putting in my training as near the battleground as possible. Nevada suits me all right, and I am glad that there will be no conflict with the law or any court proceedings. I am tired of that sort of thing.” “There is no doubt in my mind that the fight will be in Nevada, now that the gov- ernor has signed that bill and Nevada really wants us,” said Corbett. “I haven't heard from Stuart yet, and probably shall not before next week, but I am so certain that if I were free from other engagements I should at once go and train in the west. “I cannot tell where the fight 1s to be. But no matter where it is I shall be at the ring in the best of condition. “T am just at the right weight now, and all I have to do is to take care of myself,” nes STITES WON EASILY. ~ Second Race of the Skating Cham- pionship Series. ‘The second race in the series for the skat- ing championship of the District and Mary- land, which was held at the Convention Hall Ice Palace last night, showed clearly where the championship should rest. It was won by Stites in such a handy manner and by such a lead as to leave no doubt in the minds of all who saw that there is no one in this vicinity who can best the cham- pion on racing skates. There were seven starters, and the dis- tance was two miles, or twenty laps. The starters were Stites, Hewes, Le Mat, Hawes, Cassin, Williams and Morris, and the seven men were allowed to go in one iad betore. kis competitors re tors: off.

Morris, however, - was ualified~ for fouling Hawes at the lower furn, and this left sec- ond place to Le Mat; with Hewes in third place. The time of the race was 5:39. It was stated lastnight by the judges, who were the sai as _on ‘the previous evening, that Morris had been given sec- ond place in the mile event over Stites. This places Stites in the lead for the cham- pionship. He has a first and a third; Cas- sin, one first; Morris, one second; Le Mat, one second, and He one third. Stites’ skating last. ‘ht. was as pretty an exbibition of speed skating as one could wish.

Tonight the last event—the three- mile race—n the series for the champion- ship will be held at 9 o'clock, and the pros- pects are that all who entered last night will enter tonight, although it seems to be a foregone conclusion, barring accidents, that Stites will win. At 8 o'clock a bur- lesque rece will be held, in which P. B. Lewis will figure asa tramp, and the five- year-old son of Harry Mace as a brownie policeman, The little fellow will be given five laps in a mile,:and if he succeeds in catching the tramp, although the tramp is cally catching the policeman, according to the hundicap, ne will be given a new pair of racing skates, the men finished was: Sti Morris, Le Mat, Hewes and = gs zd An Exciting Set of Tenpins Rolled on the Snengerbund Allcys, ‘The most exciting set of tenpins this sea- son in the District, Bowling League wer= rolled upon the alleys of the Washington Sacrgerbund last night, between the Saen- gerbund and Carroll Irstitute teams, and for the fourth time these two clubs egain split even, each winning a game.

Correspondence of The Evdning tar, SW YORK}January 29, 1897) The best chance ever pffered to the public for the study of the biéycle will be when the national cycle boatd of trade opens its big annual show in-the-Grand Central Palace at 4%d street and Laxington avenue’ next Saturday night. Not. idnjy will the display of wheels outnumber Yhat of any previous show, but the quality and finish, in keeping with the times? ‘will iBo‘ excel. Then, of course, evety “novelty ig baadig, bars, sad- dles, ‘pedals, tires, lamps, etc., of which manufactutéers ‘make d "shéelalty, will be displayed in profusion ant told about by obliging agents whoge mission it will be to instruct seekers after cycle knowledge. With nearly 900 spaces rented by close to 300 exhibitors, the exhibition must rank as the most gigantic affair in the history of cycle manufacturing. The floor space, if it were spread out in a four-aere lot, would fill every nook, save for a strip along one side about two feet wide. The decorations, rentals and other expenses will cost the trade every cent of $1,000,000, yet it is con- sidered money well spent because of the educational advantages derived by the pub- Under the direction of R. Lindsay Cole- man, the cycle board’s president, assisted by Secretary R. Franks, every conveni- ence for the public has been planned. Not only will there be a high-class restaurant in the building, but a post office, bureau of information, barber shop, ladies’ waiting rooms and a writing room. Many Novelties Promised. “Novelties” will be the watchword of nine-tenths of the visitors, and to find out what they are and where located will be their chief object In view. Among so vast a display, it will be no easy task even for the critics to discover the new things at once, bt they will surely come to light and in great numbers during a Journey among the exhibits. No radical changes are an- ticipated in frame designs, but in minor details, looking always toward the perfect end, many new things are promised. In saddles there will be much to interest riders, for it is now claimed that the “per- fect” bicycle seat has at last heen devised. ‘An almost endless variety of handle bars and grips will be presented. Among the latter will be the fiber-buckskin, cork, pneumatic, woven cane and wire and many others. The preparations for brakes since the close of the last riding season indicate that many novelties can ‘he looked for in this line. Undoubtedly this will be a “brake” year. There are two styles of concealed plunger brakes on thé market. One is op- erated by the handle, the rod passing through the tube forming the head, while the other has an ingenious mechanism by which the power is applied simply by turn- ing the grip of the handle bar. Something that will delight the eyes of the visitors will be the new Hne of bicycle Jamps. Improvements in Construction, Improvements will be specially noticeable in crank hangers, axles, crank bearings, hubs and joints. “D’ shaped tubing will be shown in a majority of frames, and some superior enameling, brilliant as a mirror, will be observed on all the high- grade wheels. . The costliest bicycle jn the show will be the zen thousand dollar tandem which a western manufacturer had built es- pecially to show at the gational exhibition. It is covered with goldjand precious stones, and is undoubtedly thejmost gorgeous ma. chine for two ever made. Sharing attention with; the costlier freaks will be a monster bicyele fifteen feet in height and twenty-foiir: fect in length. ‘This was a feature of the Paris show, and was brought over specially for the national exhibition. pi gaee It is understood there will be no limit to the le oe souvenirs. vecaes west- ern house has plannegi@o give away cne hundred thousand scarf pins of a very fetching design. om An incidental feature will be a collection of trophies, including those won by Cham: pion Arthur Zimmermafi in his most fa- mous races.

The game proceeded even- ly for fifteen moves, when Walker was en- abled t> push through on the king’s side, getting a pawn to the knight’s seventh, which was subsequently queened. He -ef- fected a mate on the thirty-ffth move. ‘Tharp is a half game ahead of his near- est rivals for first honors, O'Farrell and Walker, with but three games to play. He is playing very gooa chess at present, and has excellent chances of winning first place. However, he has yet to play Hanna, O'Far- rell and Walker, each of whom is pushing him for highest honors. The score to date is as follows: Won. Lost. Won. Lost. 1 Dunham... 5 4 Harris s oh Messrs. Hanna and Tharp and Walker and Dunham will tonight play their games, and some lively contests are expected. ‘The Washington Chess Club has accepted the proposition of the West Philadelphia Club to play a match by correspondence. Mr. 8. C. Dunham will have charge of the Washington end in the games. ‘A match is reported to have been ar- anged by the St. Petersburg Chess Club ween Lasker and Tschigorin for the championship of the world and 4,600 rou- bles. Tschigorin is of the dashing, brilliant order of player, probably being more so thar. any living master. He is especially fond of the Evans gambit. His play is in striking contrast to that of Steinitz. Tae latter might be characterized as a Fabian in chess; Tschigorin as a Hgnnibal. One waits, as it were, for his opponent’s mis- deeds; the other does, or at least attempts, something himself. Tschigorin was twice beaten by Steinitz in matches for the championship of the world. He has never played a match against Lasker. The date for the match has not been set, but Lasker will doubtless require a season of rest be- fcre beginning another important match. Contrary to expectations, Pillsbury and Showalter did not begin their match this week. Showalter has been in Philadelphia practicing hard with local experts there. He won one end lost one game with Ke- meny, won one and drew one with Shipley, and won one each from Stuart and Voigt. bury and Showalter met on Tuesday t, but postponed completing final ar- rangements for a week. There seems to be a hitch in regard to where the games shall be played. The Boston Chess Club wants one week of the match played there, and it is announced that none of the games will probably be played in the rooms of the Brooklyn Chess Club, Showalter was de- strous of having the match commence not later than February 6 next, but it seems now that a later date will be chosen. A feeling of sadness pervaded the Wash- ington Chess Club and the Capital Bicycl Club the past week owing to the unexpect- ed death of Mr. Joseph E. Macfarland. Mr. Macfarland was one of the best chess play- ers in the city. His knowledge of the openings wus probably unequaled by any local player. He was a brilliant, yet sound, player, quick to take in a situation, and his play indicated confidence in his game. In “skittle” playing he was always inter- esting, and in simultaneous play he was without equal here. When Mr. G. H. Gossip, the English master, was in the c about two years ago, Mr. the better of him in two games, skittle play. He also played a game with F. J. Lee, the master, which was unfinished, but in which “Mac” appeared to have the ad- vantage. In one of the games between Baltimore and Washington, wherein W. H. K. Pollock led the forces for the monu- mcntal city, Mr. Macfarland played board No. 1 for Washington and secured a draw against that celebrated player. For the last two years Mr. Macfarland had been de- voting nearly all his time to the study of geology. and had not taken part in any of the local tournaments. He was nof twenty- six years of age, and had a brilliant career before him. Mr. Leek, a member of the Albany Chess and Whist Club, was in the city the pasi week, and met several of the local experts. He contested several games with Mr. E. P. Hanna last Saturday evening, and held his own, Dr. Bunnemeyer has passed Mr. Usina in the chess tournament at the Capital Bicycle Club.

The Columbia Athletic and Albany Whist | Clubs are today playing for the challenge trophy of the Americar Whist League. The match occurs at Alban . ¥., and will consist of forty-cight deals, one-half this afternoon and the remainder this even- Ing. The Washington club will be repre- sented by Messrs. Jules Wooten, captain; A. G. Safford, J. R. Hampton and Dr. E. G. Walls. They left last evening for the capital of the empire state. The second match under Mr. Safford’s comparative system was played at the Co- lumbia Athletic Club on Wednesday even- ing last. Messrs. Taliaferro and Childs ob- tained top score, 48 plus. The only other plus score was made by Goodale and Swearingen, who made 4 plus. The lowest score was over 30 minus, being a differ- ence of about 80 points between the top and bottom scores. ‘Monday evening the crack short suit four of the Capital Bicycle Club, viz.: Messrs. Barrick, Low, Carr and Quackenbush, were taken into camp by a team from the Wo- man's Whist Club, who defeated them by three tricks in eighteen hands, duplicate. The ladies gained one trick in the first round of six hands, two in the second round and the third round resulted in a tie. The total score was 9 to 6. The short suiters strove to regain lost ground in the lart round and gained three tricks on one deal, but this was equalized by three singles. The woman's club team consisted of the Misses King, Daly, Ravenburg and Quack- enbush. They play Foster without the short suit innovation. A match between them umd a team of ladies from the Wash- ington club, on I street, is probable In the near future. ‘At the Capital Bicycle Club last Saturday evening the following scores were made in the compass whist match for prizes: N. and 8.
