OVERN FAVORS CORBETT. Thinks His Old Time Conqueror Will | Defeat Jimmy Britt. NEWARK, N. J.. March 15.—"Young | Corbett will beat Jimmy Britt in their fight next week,” said Terry McGovern 10-day. “Rounds? Well, that would be merely guesswork, and I don’t want 10 go on record for that. Britt is a great little fighter, as is Corbett, and who can state reliably whether the bout will last one o twenty rounds? There are three reasons why I believe Corbett will win, but at the same time | the fight appears so even that should one venture to offer 2 to 1 on either man, be it Corbett or Britt, I will take the short end with $2500, “Britt will have to give away sev- eral pounds to get down to the weight, 120 pounds, and that, I believe, will weaken him in a way that will count much in Corbett’s favor. Then, again, Corbett has a punch, while Britt is not neted for scoring knockouts, Cor- bett also has a method which does more toward beating & man, or lead- ng to that, than any of the Denver boy's famous hooks and uppercuts. That method is abusing his opponent with taunting remarks, which gener- ally riles his opponent to the boiling point. In his anger he makes a mad rush, gete off his guard, leaves an opening and Corbett plants his knock- out. Britt, T know, is a hot-headed fellow, and when once driven to mad- ness will either pummel his opponent 10 & pulp in his attacks or he will tem- porarily lose his science and meet the same fate as others. Corbett, being as cool as a cucumber at all stages, the | result will probably be in his favor.” —_——— Potomac Leap Year Party.

The game was an exhibi- tion of first class baseball from start to finish. Neither side scored until the ninth inning, when both got a man across the plate, making the score 1 to 1. There was no more scoring until the last half of the fourteenth, when Chicago batted in one run and won the game. Both teams played fast ball and there were a number of spectacular plays. The pitchers, three of whom were tried out cn each side, were all in good form.

In 1896 the mare, as a three-year-old, gave prom- ise of great things and beat the best trotters on the grand circuit. Only a few weeks ago Mr. Scannell lost his champion trotter, Mbbot. in a sim- the talent at Ascot track | Venator, the Crack Maiden, Runs a Close Third. Ocean Dream, a new-comey from Los Angeles, did not win the six-furlong handicap at Oakland yesterday, but she was knocking at the door. Arabo, from the Jennings stable, picked up 110 pounds, an increase of six pounds | well ridden by Jack Martin, ran home two lengths ahead of the Southern Cal- ifornia mare, Sad Sam started out to make running, and as sloppy going is his long suit, the “it's all over” people became somewhat noisy. But the stay in front of the ‘‘jungle demon” was as abrupt as the visit of a fashionable physician, and he finished fourth. Probably the bulk of the educated money found the way into the books on Albula, which at one time ruled favorite, though eventually -closing equal choice with Kenilworth. Bonner rode an indiscreet race, and the the more than two lengths for the place by Ocean Dream. Willie See jumped into the wheel- | house on Kenilworth without any chart | and, striking a submarine mine, was blown out of the running before hardly in action. The winner was only spar- ingly supported. ONE WINNING CHOICE. There is no telling how much wealth a person parlaying $20 on the six win- ners would be possessed of. He could snub Pierpont Morgan, play brace faro bank for ten years and still have enough to keep his poor relations fig- uring out how many birthdays he | passed through. Hainault was the only successful public choice, Captivate, Del Carina, Mr. Farnum, Arabo and Oronte all go- ing through deliciously fresh quota- tions. Apparently the race the day preced- ulators greatly, for in the betting on the opening event the mare's odds re- ceded from 3 to 7 to 1. Jack Martin got her away in the lead and, holding Maraschino safe, won cleverly by a length. Mountain, on Adirondack, fin- | ished third. Clausus, the entry of Tom Ryan, was backed from 213 down to 7 to b favoritism, and after a catch-as- catch-can ride brought up in last posi- tion. Bullman rode \«'olna in the two- year-old event and she was touted from the Berkeley foothills to the ocean beach as a cherry ripe one. At post time 9 to 5 was the market price. The filly has a sore mouth and when Dick Dwyer released the barrier she jumped in the air and was prominent no part of the trip. Larsen handled Bob Smith’s Del Carina, an 8 to 1 chance, to excellent advantage, beat- ing “Big Bill” Knapp on Saccharate a neck. Mizpah, which skipped away in front and led into the stretch, took the show. BONNER'S GOOD RIDE. Solomon Bonner made no mistake with Mr. Farnum, a 6% to 1 chance for the mile and a furlong selling af- fair. Going ‘to the front right after the start, the McCafferty horse won in a common gallop, splashing in seven open lengths in advance of Mountain, astride Mr. Dingle. The Fretter, under weak handling, gath- ered up show honors. C. Smith on Fille a’Or, the favorite, made a botchy job of it. Hainault met with more success in the mile and fifty yard number than had crowned his previous two essays At one stage of the betting 6 to 5, the brown gelding's price lengthened to 9 to With Travers in the saddie he then went out and won all the way. Horton gave a skeletonized imitation of his old-time stretch run, finishing |second, two lengths before Anirad. David S ran a fair fourth. Frank Otis celebrated his return to the saddle by reaching the wire first on Oronte in the concluding’ five and a half furlong dash. The Piedmont stable’s sprinter ruled second choice in the ring, and, ridden with excellent judgment by Otis, downed the tardy arriving Daisy Green a neck. Venator, the favorite, led to the paddock, where he tired, finishing in the show NOTES OF THE TRACK. Present indications point to a field of six starting for the Thornton stakes at four miles, on Saturday. Mike Daly has decided not to start Claude, but will try to land the event with Sailor Knot instead. It is pretty early in the year to ask a three-year old to go that distance. George Mountain, who rode with marked success at Los Angeles, receiv- ed a warm greeting from the crowd as he paraded past the stand on Adir- ondack. His saddle work created a favorable impression. Frank Otis was another rider heartily applauded by racegoers. Frank piloted Oronte, winner of the last event, his first mount since receiving the hard fall while riding Optimo some weeks ago. Max Franks, who has been hooking at Los Angeles, was a spectator yes- terday. He may decide to cut in later on. Clerk of the Course Sam McGibben was back attending to his duties again yesterday after a week's illness, caused by ptomaine poisoning. ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

Those in attend- ance were: President Bert, Henry Harris and Theodore Good: , of San Francisco; J. Cal Ewing of Oakland, Mike Fisher of Tacoma, Parke Wilson of Seattle and James F. Morley of Los Angeles. Henry Harris, as chairman of the schedule committee, presented the list of dates for the season of eight months. The novel feature of this is that San Francisco is left without baseball for weeks in the height of the season. This was found necessary in order to give the other cities on the circuit a proper proportion of games. After the meeting adjourned Man- ager Morley of Los Angeles asked per- mission to bring up, informally, the case of Captain Dillon, the crack first baseman of the Los Angeles team. He then put his case before his asso- ciates in a much plainer light than it had been presented heretofore. He showed where Ned Hanlon had acted outside his official capacity as a repre- sentative of the Minor League, the lat- ter organization not having acted on the Dillon case. Hanlon used his con- neetion with that body to further the interests of his Brooklyn National League Club, for which he wants Dillon. President Bert said no formal demand has been made for Dillon. Manager Morley will appeal his case to the re- cently organized National Commis- sion, the Supreme Court of the base- ball world, and expects a favorable de- cision, which will enable him to re- tain Dillon. e e— Athletic Meet at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 15.—On Saturday morning the Santa Rosa High #chool track team will try conclusions with the freshman ath- letes on the Stanford track. The meet was scheduled originally for last Sat- urday, but was called off on account of the muddy condition of the track. A close and exciting contest is ex- pected, as the Santa Rosans are said to have some fast men among their number. Thursday afternoon the varsity base- ball nine will play a game with a team from the Presidio on varsity diamond and on Saturday will meet Clf Jre- land’s Independents for the second time
