CURRENT SPORTING NEWS _—————————— With opening day of the spring meeting of the Washington Jock2y Club just one week off, owners and trainers are busy at the Benning track with their preliminary work. Yesterday halves in .51 and six fur- longs in .17 were frequent, these figures r2presenting about the best work done. W. P. Burch’s string was given good, useful work, Knight of Rhoades galloping strong and fighting for his head all the way. The two-year-old Pathfinder, by Clear the Way- Adventuress II, was given light work. He is a great-looking colt, although big and fat. Decanter is doing finely. In this sta- ble is the maiden Ellen Terry, the property of Howard & Co., and she is expected to win a maiden race during the meeting. Jimmy McLaughlin's String. The horses trained by “Jimmy” Mc- Laughlin, while carrying plenty of flesh, are hard and well advanced. There is a grand-looking lot of jumpers in the stable of Mr. W. Fred Presgrave. They are well advanced and their work over the newly constructed jumps during at a racing pac These youngstet s will bear ching. f H. Flippen sent the Bradley string right along, Boney Boy's six furlongs in .17 being about as good work as has been witnessed at the track. The trials of the two-year- old division were entirely satisfactory, this being especially true of the son of Blitzen- Lady Greenway. ‘The timber-toppers of W. Rhodes—Minin- go, Parade and Firclock—are fast rounding to, although they need a bit of schooling: Look Hard and Fit. The lot under the care of Gwyn Tomp- kins look hard and fit. Their work has generally been private, and Is believed to be satisfactory to owner and trainer. Queen of Song, the daughter of Esher, seems to be In fine condition, looking fit to race for her life. Those in Cahill & Anderson's stable are all looking and doing well, and while Ban- nock may not start in the first Benning spring handicap, he is expected to be a most dangerous horse before the meeting is over, especially at a mile. The Stake Events. The following stake events will be run during the meeting: Monday, April 2—Arlington purse, two years; first Benning handicap, three years and up; maiden steeplechase, four years and up. Wednesday, April 4—Maiden hurdle race, four years and up. Thursday, April yedrs and up. Saturday, April 7—Potomac purse, three years; spring hunters’ steeplechase, four years and up.

The best of the two-year-olds which ran at the New Or- leans mecting are to be shipped here, as well as many older horses, including such ton, Strangest, Sidney s. which ran here last as Trillo, Compens Lucas and othe fall. GEORGETOW BALL SEASON WIIl Be Opened Wednesday in a Game With M. A. Cc. Wednesday afterncon will witness the opening of the Georgetown University b ball season. Last season the Georgetown men acquired a clear right to the some- what indiscriminately claimed title of ‘‘col- lege champions.” Their work became famous, and It is safe to say that there is hardly a school boy who does not know the wonderful record of Gecrgetown. Every effort will be made to make this season the equal of last. New material has been de- veloped under skillful coaching and the players of last season who are left are much better fitted for championship ball than they were at this time a year ago. Maryland Agricu!tural College will be the first team to oppose Georgetown, and to make this occasion as brilliant as possible Manager Greery extends the freedom of the grounds and grand stand to all ladies who wish to attend. urday Lafayette College will be here. yette has alw: been a strong propo- sition for Georgetown, and this game will be a fight to a finish from beginning to end. Lafayette Glee Club gives a concert in town on the evening of that day, and will also attend the game in the afternoon to give such encouragement as only a lusty crowd of college singers can give. AGUE EASTERN 1 2 PUZZLE. Minor Magnates Adjourn Without Tak- ing in Washington or Baltimore. The Eastern League ended its session in New York Saturday, but will meet Thurs- y to hear the report of the circuit com- mittee appointed by President Powers. The umpires will also be named then. When the Eastern League applied for the Baltimore and Washington franchises it was Intended to drop Springfield and Hart- ford, but Springfield declares it will remain in the league. The league passed a resolution empower ing the president to impose of fine of $25 upon a player who destroys a ball in a game or throws it out of the grounds. ‘The vote for officers for the coming year resulted in the re-election of P. T. Powers as president, secretary and treasurer and a member of the board of directors, with William Gault of Toronto, George W. Swee- of Rochester, T. B. Corey of Provi- ence and F. J. Leonard of Worcester. ‘apt. Wilbert Robinson and John J. Mc- Graw stated last night in Baltimore that there were no developments in the base ball situation so far as they were concerned. Both sald they were determined that Balti- more should be given the best base ball they are capable of producing. They do not believe there will be an Eastern League club in Baltimore, and are patiently await- ing any developments that may occur at Thursday's Eastern League meeting. McGraw is enthusiastic over the idea of a city league, and his businesslike way shows that it would pay, and that the returns would equal his and Robinson's salarfes and proffered bonus from St. Louis with more added. They are not uneasy about the mat- ter. National League Schedule. The eight-club schedule of the National League of Base Ball Clubs has been issued. Play will begin on April 19. Boston will start a series of three games at Philadel- phia on April 20, but April 19 both clubs will play at Boston, the day being a local holiday.

New York's thunderbolt piteher, Amos Ruste, the man of mig¥ty arm and rigid backbone, has smoked the pipe of peace and has decided to return to the fold. A tele- gram received by Ewing from the Hoosier pitcher announced that;,he had signed a centract for 190) and would report in New York this week, when the remainder of the nine assembles. hoot “I have implicit confidence in his ability to do good work,” said wing. “You must remember that he is only a young man, and his days as a winning ball playier should not be numbered for at least five years.” Rusile refused to sign the contract that was offered him last year- because ite in- sisted that he had been unjustly treated In having his salary cut down.

The United States won the cable match Saturday from England on the second day of play. The score was six games to four.

Mr. Mundelle, as announced, challenged the winner, and a match was arranged to commence Saturday, at the rooms of the Chess and Checker Ciub, at 8 o'clock.

Marquez Sterling, private secre- tary of the special commission from Cuba to Washington. The latter gentleman,while in enforced absence from his native coun- try in Mexico, attained the chess cham- pionship of that country. The match between Columbia and Prince- ton Colleges was won by the former, after a good fight, 62 to 31%. Capt.

The dedication is said to be from a singular circumstance, happening many years ago, when Steinitz was a young Mag in xtreme poverty. The only remedy appeafed fo be death, and he contemplated ending all the waters of the Danube. In the nick of time hfs ygung friend Popper, entirely ignorant of the Stare of affairs, wrots him, in effect, that he felt COmpetcd, he knew not by what cause, to send him the Inclosed 10 gulden.

Whitaker, chairman of the Good Roads Association of the District, has is- sued the following address to wheelmen and persons interested in the movement of building cycle paths: “I desire, in the name of the Good Roads Association of this District, to thank the wheelmen and other persons interested in the building of cycle paths for their gen- erous contributions last summer for the Great Falls cycle path and the path known as “Stony Hill,” situated on the Conduit road, beginning at the Dalecarlia reservoir. It is well known that the latter path was commenced late last fall, the work being éontinued until the funds were exhausted. Much Femaing to ve done before the path can be ridden tipo, ahd It Is desirous that every person who expects fo be benefited by its completion be ready with a coniribu- tion to place in the hands of the promoters who have so faithfully given their time and money to carry on the work. “During the winter some concessions have been made by persons owning property along the path, and at a meeting of the as- sociation on Thursday evening it will be definitely settled just what will be the course of the lower path. Two or three bridges will have to be built and it will take money to complete them. Money will be accepted from every person, but exper- sence has taught the association that it wit agt do to permit everybody to act as agent. Im jemitting money by mail it should be sent t0 Cjarence Corson, treas- urer, 911 F street.” : General Sporting Notes. Fred Taral, the jockey, has caught the English fever and will shortly go abroad to ride in that country as a free lance. Willie Dunn, the American golf champion of ‘94, is training hard for his match with Harry Vardon April 10. Connie Mack, manager of the Milwaukee American League bas> ball team, has signed John Anderson of the Brooklyns and David L, Fultz of the Baltimores. The Nonpareil Athletic Club of Louisville has secured Eddie Santry’s signature to a contract’ to fight Terry McGovern before the club on the’ night of the Kentucky Derby, May 8. McGovern signed with tue club two weeks ago to meet any feather- weight the club might secure. = _ interscholastic athletes in New York are much exercised over the question of allow- ing men to compete who are in the schools by reason of legitimate scholarships. Trin- ity School threatens to withdraw from the ion if the rule is enforced, as she has several such men. Captain James P. Adams of the Yale cross-country team denies the report that he refused to train with the other track men, and says that the reason he has not been with them was that he had a weak back. He says he is willing to enter any games in which the university may need his services. ‘The English courts have decided that when a cycle racer is suspended and does not receive the notice until after he has taken part in a and won e valuable trophy for the third time, which thereby became his individual property, the trophy cannot afterward be taken him be- cause he was under suspension at the time of the race. Colonel John I. Rogers of the Philadelphia base ball club has denied the published re- ports that the Philadelphia base ball club was endeavoring to secure Pitcher Hick- man of Boston. He said: “Manager Selee of Boston offered Hickman in exchange for Cooley. We declined to make the trade without a cash bonus. We do not want Hickman.” a To Reorganize Logan Tribe.
