BATEMAN AND THE NEPTUNE CLUB.
There will be meeting tomorrow Of Bate
man, Carter, Elder and the captain Of the Nep-
tune Club of Baltimore. This consultation
will be for the purpose of determining whether
the Georgetown fighter Bateman. Is to have
go at the Neptune man on the 18th Of April at
Baltimore. Basemans friends are not inclined
to have their man run up against professional
so long as there is no money in it. Baterlan
has never fought for cash and is therefore
strictly an anatuer. They do not want him to
hit snag just now for another reason. and
that is that he will have to defend the cham
plonsnip of the District for his class in the lat
ter part of April. 1t would be a sore
disappointment to his friends to get hurt at
Baltimore SO that he might not be in condition
for what they consider more important fight.
