Some suits lined wjth silk throughout; some appliqued with 914.75 have completed all the details for the con- test. Charley White will referee the mill. Both Jeffries and Corbett are already fit to enter the ring, and each is confident of coming out of the battle victorious. During the last few weeks Corbett has won many admirers, who will doubtless beck him to win. It is said by those who have seen him work that he is 30 per cent better than when he tackled Sharkey. His fcotwork is superb, while his left-hand jab surpasses anything ever seen. Tho ruddi- ness of youth ts in his big cheek, his step is Nght and his eyes bright. “I will win,” says Jim. Corbett, at least, thinks he will win. He works like a v-hirlwind. From medi- cine bag to punching bag, from pulley weights to a het set-to with Trainer Ruh- lin, he goes in due order. It’s short, sharp, decisive action; no more long-drawn-out sleges of vigor-sapping drudgery; no n:ore working until ready to drop from exhaus- tion. Jim's working hours have become as child's play, his road work a mere gallop, and the rest of his time is spent out in the open air and sleeping the sleep that comes to a master of the “mitts” who sees an easy road to the throne of the champion. Champion Jeffries confined his training to light road work yesterday, taking things easy the latter part of the day. Jeff seems to have about reached perfect condition, and he could easily cut down his work now. He is a conscientious trainer; he can't do too much to satisfy himself, so he has resumed hard work and will proba- bly keep it up in the few days left be- tween now and Friday. BASE BALL.

Boston and New York played a very poor game of ball yesterday in the city of cul- ture, the home team finally winning out by the score of 18 to 11. Hawley was batted out of the box in the fourth inning, and Seymour, who reileved him, was also hit hard. Dineen pitched fairly well, but was taken off the rubber to allow Chambers a chance. The newcomer had lots of speed and curves, but lacks control. Following is the score by inning: ‘The committee amendment prohibiting the appointment of additional officers and en- Ustment of privates in the marine corps was vigorously antagonized. Mr. Stewart thought the amendment looked to the abandonment of our isiand possessions and the serious crippling of an arm of the navy. Mr. Foraker was opposed to the amend- ment in any form. The marine corps was now short 1,500 men and forty officers. He sald the curps had made a splendid record for efiiciency, and he thought it ought not to be curtailed.

Barry {s playing a splendid game at short for Boston. Bob Wood of Cincinnati {s leading the league with the stick. Of the thirty-four players in the big league batting over the .300 mark, Cincin- nati has six, the best showing of any team. Fred Clarke and Demontreville bring up the rear, the former having a batting aver- age of .125 and the latter 140. Wolverton ts playing very well at third for the Phillies, and is hitting the bail above the coveted .200 mark. He is ap- parently a better man than Lauder, who played the position last season. Dick Cooley ts “making good” with the Pittsburgs. His first base play has been uniformly excellent, and he fs hitting in his old-time form. Tomorrow afternoon the Georgetown boys will face the strong team from Dickinson College. The Carlisle boys have been play- ing very good ball and should give the were of the blue and gray quite a tus- sle. “Cupid” Childs and Fred Clarke had a regular rough and tumble fight in the Chi- cago depot Sunday night just before the train pulled out for Pittsburg. Clarke had blocked Childs off.second during the after- noon's game, preventing a double play, and the fight was tha,result. Both men ‘were quite badly hanged up. Jake Gettman has been making many friends tip ff Buffalo on account of his sen- sational fielding and base running. Jake always was a speedy one, but his trouble in this city was that he didn’t use his head, and was like a runaway colt on the base lnes. As a fielder Gottman was one of the best in the business. Buelow, playing third base for the Cle land, American League club, is “touted” as being the best third baseman playing ball outside the big league. He is leading the American League third basemen in fielding, and with the bat is hitting away over the -300 mark. ‘Tommy Corcoran, the Reds’ cleyer short- stop, put a blot on his brilliant record for this season in Sunday's game by nfaking his first error of the year. Corcoran has only taken part in five games, and has fourteen put outs, eighteen assists and one error to his credit. It may be some time before Billy Keister will be able to resume his position at sec- ond base for St. Louts. With two men out in the eighth inning, and Peitz on second base, Irwin sent a low fly right over sec- ond base. Both Wallace and Kelster went after the ball. Just as it struck Keister’s hands he collided with Wallace and was knocked unconscious. He lay on the field for five minutes before he revived. Several of his teeth were loosened, while his face and shoulder were badly bruised. Strange to say, he held on to the ball, and Peitz could not score. Quinn then took his place at second, and his error In the ninth in- ning helped the Reds out nicely.—St. Louis Republic. McGraw and Robinson at Cleveland. It is more than probable that McGraw and Robinson, manager and catcher, respect- ively, of last year’s Baltimore league team, and who have been released to St. Louls, will accept the terms offered by the man- agement of that club. They received a tel- egram from Frank DeHaas Robison, presi- dent and principal owner of the St. Louis and Cleveland clubs, requesting them to meet him in Cleveland for a conference. McGraw was offered $5,000 to play with St. Louis this year, and Robinson's salary, with his bonus, will amount to $3,300 for the season's work. Their friends have been urging them to accept, and it !s thought that ne ee, will be arrived at in Cleve- land. A special dispatch from Cleveland says that “Mugsy” McGraw and Robinson, the disgruntled ball players, who were sold to St. Louis, but who refused to go there, were closeted with Robison for several hours last night, during which time he tried to per- suade them to move to St. Louis, but it is understood they have obstinately refused. Robison has not given up hope of persuad- ing them eventually, and has asked them to stay in Cleveland for two or three days, which they will do. If the men eventually decide to go to St. Louis it will turn out several players who are wanted in Cleve- land, and who will go there when released. If they do not go to St. Louis It is safd that Robison wilt accept the offer of Philadel- phia for the players. —_—_>+___. DULGE IN CRITICISM. Several Orators Discuss the Idaho Mining Troubles.
