CURRENT SPORTING NOTES Everything is hustl¢, bustle and hard work at National Base Ball Park these days. Over a dozen carpenters and la- borers are hard at work putting the stands, fences and grounds in order, and from the present look of things it will take every day from now until the opening of the season to have the park in first-class shape when the bell taps for the opering game. Mr. Wagner's office, which formerly stood on the ground just inside the carriage gate. will be torn down and a new struct- ure built on the side of the grand stand to the right of the ladies’ entrance. On the site of the old office an elaborate booth will be erected for Mr. Strasburger, who has the refreshment and score card privi- lege of the park. The old right filed bleac ers, which were blown down by the cy- clone last September, will have to be re- built and also the center field fence. President McKinley's Box. The private box for the President of the United States has been completed and pre- sents quite an imposing appearance. It Is located about fifty fect to the left of the press box, being over the left wing of the grand stand, and is reached by a private entrance. The interior of the box will be tastefully decorated and made as com- fortable as the situation and circumstances will permit. Manager Schmelz says that Mr. Wagner has been given to understand that President McKinley will be a frequent spectator at the game, and from the pres- ent indications of the President's democ- racy the understanding is not far out of the way. Three or four Jaborers, under the ision of the ground keeper, w at work on the diamond, resodding the baselines and seraping off the of the winter. It is intended to place che shape than ever before this s several almost imperceptible de- clevities being filled in, and if hard work will do the trick, the players will have grounds to play on that equal almost the best in the twelve-club circuit. t location of the diamend will changed, all reports to the withstanding, as the Luilt upon the present field.

Referee Siler Gives Out His Interpre- intion of the Rules, Referee George Siler yesterday at Carson, Nev., gave “his interpretation of the Mar- quis of Queensberry rules under which Fitzsimmons and Corbett are to fight on4 March 17. He hus decided that the men shall be allowed to strike in a clinch with one arm free and in the breakaw ‘This is generally thought to be more to the ad- vantage of Fitzsimmons’ style of fighting than to Corbett’s. Fitzsimmons has long declared that he did not desire to have any hitting with one arm tree and de- marded ‘that the breakaways should be clean and with no punching. This is be- lieved to be a ruse on the part of Fitz- sommors’ crowd. On the other hand, Cor- bett’s frlends claim that hitting with one arm free will exactly suit him. Duplicate coples of Siler’s letter were made and a copy was sent to both Cor- bett and Fitzsimmons. Corbett was writ- ing a letter to his wife when Siler’s com- munication was handed to him, and when he had finished writing he read the ref- erce’s letter through with great care. He then folded it up, saying: “I do not care to make any reply to this today. 1 will talk it over with my trainers tonight and will write a formal letier to Mr. Siler to- morrow.” ty Both Men Dissatisfied. t gives you what you desired, does it not?” he was asked. “No.” he answered; “all I want is that we fight under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, such as I have always fought under. I carry those rules in my head and I am very likely to conforth ‘to them uncon- sciously while fighting. When a new con- struction is put upon them I might forget all about it in the heat of the fight and commit a foul unintentionally. All 1 want is a fair show, and nothing else.” “It -was reported some time ago that you desired to hit with one arm free and in breakaways.” “That is a mistake. I never wanted any- thing but the regular Marqu!s of Queens- berry rules and never said I did. Now, Fitzsimmons has said ne did not want to hit with cne arm free, but everybody knows he wants just that very thing. Everybody concedes that Fitzsimmons is a harder hitter than I am, and everybody concedes that I am better at long range fighting and more scientific. It stands to reascn, then, that he is the gainer by this thing. You will see that Fitzsimmons will not agree to this, as he.wants to have the appearance of making some concession to me. However, I am not making any ob- Jections, as yet. I am going to talk it over with my trainers and wilt say what I think tomorrow. I am glad, however, that Mr. Siler has made it clear that the pivot blow and all that.sort of thing is barred. That is as it shold be. We don’t want any- thing of that sort.” 5 Siler said, when giving out his construc- tion of the rules: “I have made my de- Fraud. ‘The extensive counterfeiting of the capsules and labels of our “Canadian Club” Whisky, while very flattering, is extremely un- Pleasant to us as well as to those who drink the vile substitutes.

For namex of dealers handling the genuine whisky apply wholesale agent, CHARLES KRAEMER, WASHINGTON, cision solely on the ground that it is declared in the Marquis of Queensberry rules that when not ordered otherwise, the rules of the London prize ring shall gov- ern. Now, the Marquis of Queensberry rules are silent on the subject of hitting in the breakaways and with one arm free, but both are allowed by the rules of the London prize ring, and therefore, it seems to me that it plainly is the intention of the Queensberry rules that both hitting with one arm free and hitting in the break- aways should be allowed. “I suppose that some will differ about that, but that truly looks to me as though the thing is too plain to admit of any other construction than that I have put upon it. “However, if Corbett and Fitzsimmons declare they prefer to fight the other way, it is all right. All I want is for them to agree to something.” A Storm at Fitz's Cam The receipt of Siler’s letter raised a storm at’Cook’s Ranch, and Martin Julian declared that in his opinion Corbett had a talk with Siler and induced him to issue the letter. Fitzsimmons asserted it would not be right for him to agree on anything until both he and Corbet had entered the ring; a he fought under the Marquis of Queens! s, he declared, and that was what he wanted to fight under this time. Julian took the stand that when a man knocked down and his seconds throw water upon the fallen man with the in- tention of reviving him it should be a ting the fight, and he as- was going insist that agreed upon. Then Fitzsimmons 1 that he would fight under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, and that if they did not suit Corbett he would fight under the rules of the London prize rinz. “He has fought all his battles under the erry said Fitzsimmons,“‘and should be good enough for him now Fitzsimmons and Julian declared did not want any hitting with one hand free and on the breakaways.

Bicycle Corps. It consists of two tan- dems, joined by a light tubing as a frame work. Between them a stretcher is placed, which can be detached at will, so that a wounded man can be lifted from the am- bulance and carried into the hospital com- fortably. A canvas top, shaped like a tent, affords a perfect protection from sun, wind and rain. The net weight of this ambu- lance is 115 pounds, and it can be easily managed and run by two men. It is de- signed for use in small cities and towns where the expense of an ambulance with driver and horse is too gréat. It may eventually be used in the Bicycle Corps of the National Guard and regular army. The military bicycle of last year has also been improved. It is far lighter, and the clip for holding the rifle is stronger and more convenient. The rider can now detach the rifle from the clip while on the bicycle and in motion. A Catcher Jim McGuire. Catcher Jim McGuire dropped in to see Major Moore this morning at police head- quarters. He looked in the best of health and is at least twenty pounds, lighter than he was last season. Jim’s business at po- lice headquarters was to recover his base ball outfit, which some thief purloined last September from his locker at the ball park. There was a glove, a pair of shoes with spikes, a pair of stockings and a plug of tobacco. He was given the articles upon the signing of a receipt.
