comedies the superiority of Zimmerman
in this way: Il think that there is no
| one capable of beating Zimmerman. not
| merely in France, but i'll the whole world.
| The man who can come the nearest to
him is Hermet. His track work has inn
pressed me very much. He has all the
| characteristics of Il great racer: he can
come near the great American flyer, but
| cannot beat him.
! Joe Choynski the California boxer. is
at Lake Quinsigamond getting in condi-
| ton for his bout with Bob Fitzsimmons.
| which will take place in Boston on June
| IS Choynski has studied the ring tac
ties of the lanky Australian and is con
| fdent now that he will be returned a
| winner. A decision over FitZsimmons
would mean a great deal to the Caifor-
Man: it would practically place him us
| the next best man to COrbett "Fitz' is

be fit to do himself justice when he steps
| in the ring.
Morris J. Jones, the owner of Alix. the
| little Wisconsin trotting wonder, says
! the speedy mare will only be seen in eX-
hibtions against the watch this season.
He is confident that AliX will get down
| to the 2:O4 mark. AliX would have been
an important factor in the free for-al
| events.
Plot. the French billiardist. is improv-
ing wonderfully in his work with the
cue and promises to make matters lively
! for Frank G. Ives, the American cham
pion. Plot recently defeated Ives in Il

There is some probability of the Ocon-
omowoc Yacht Clubs regatta being held
on July this season, although major
ity of the members favor later date.
The Pine Lake Yacht Club has fixed the
following dates for it's regattas: For cat
rugged yachts, July Z; for free-for-al,
July %; for soops only, August Is.
In speaking of the National League
clubs 0. =. Caylor says: IF the Phila-
delphias had the Cleveland pitchers the
race would be a mere canter for them.
Outside of their pitching they compose
the strongest team in the country and the
heaviest hitting nine since the Detroits of
1897 But the Phillies never win by
small scores. They have to bat out
everything they get 1t will be mighty
| interesting to watch the results when the
Clcvelands meet the Quakers."
Matt Byrnes, the speedy 3year-old
entered in the American Derby by Mar
Gus DAILY. is Il brother of Ladas, owned
by Lord Roscbcry. and the winner of the
great English Derby.
The fight between Lachic Thompson,
of Glasgow, Scotland, and Patsy Dono-
van, the champion of South Africa. for
5000 !: side, was decided at Johannes
burg April %. Thompson won, knock
| ing Donovan out.
Baron Hirsch has purchased Matchbox
who ran second to Ladas in the English
Derby. The price paid was $4,000, and
an additional $25,60O is to be paid pro
vided Matchbox wins the Grand Prize OF
Paris. Matchbox was owned by Lord
Abingdon and IS II brown colt by St
Simon out of Match Girl.
The London Field in Il yachting ar
ticle says: The contention that the Wig
liant was not a fair vessel to match
against the Nalkyrie, on account of hel
himsy construction. will be emphasized
by the fact that she is being strength
ened for her Atlantic passage. We believe
that the committee of the Royal Victoria
Yacht Club meditated, last autumn. Il
Al, Al Il L,
for the Victoria gold cup should be built
capable of sailing the Atlantic on her OWL
bottom. The clause was not adopted
owing to the difficulty of determining the
fitness of build for the purpose and be-
cause it would most likely result in the
had crossed the Atlantic. Still, the point
we'll displays the enormous advantage
which the defending yacht has over ih(
challenger
There will be no fight before the Flor
ida Athletic Club between Peter Jack
son and jim Corbett, although the latter
has agreed to fight for the $50, 900 purse
the Florida Athletic Club has offered
In an interview in San Francisco regard
ing the offer, Peter Jackson said:
i,orbett may accept the offer of tic Flortd.
Athletic Club, but shall not agree to fight any
place in the South no matter what induccment
tact IF Corbett is in earnest for the contest t,
take place why doesn't he fight for the 5000
posted and the $4,000 purse the National Sport
ing Club hes offered? Thirty-ivc THOUSAND
dollars should be inducement enough for hin
to fight for in England.
The action of Corbett in refusing t,
fight Jackson before the National Clul
is not becoming an American champion
It was stipulated in the articles of agree
ment that Jackson would not fight soutl
of Mason and DiXon's line. and no ont
was better acquainted with that fac
than Corbett. Jackson has acted in
straig htforward manner in all his deal
ings with the American champion anc
should be entitled to a little more respec
than he has received ut Corbett's hands
1t is possible that Corbett is fighting sh!
of his dusky rival in order to make Jack
son favorite in the betting: the same
game he tried to work with Mitchell. /
such is not the case Corbett is not ut al
anxious to fight Jackson 1t cannot bt
said that the American champion has
yellow streak in him, he has proven
himself game to the core.
