Manager Mack had hard luck with his men,
two pitchers and a catcher going to pieces
earl yin the season, and the ne W men were no
Jewels. They lost twenty-five points last
week, and won one game and fost five.
The Cincinnatis are an In and out team.
They started off with o. dash, maintained
the pace for a while, but it was too hot
for them. They stopped suddenly and
Buck, too, must conteIt himself and the
cranks in Porkdom with predictions for next
year. Their percentage is .5OS. A week
ago it was .517.
There is no cause of fear that the st.
Louis viii beat the Senators out. They
were twenty one points behind them on
Saturday evening. and 1t is not at all
likely that they will defea tthe Reds and also
the Pirates. From fair observation it
looks as though they will close just where
they are. They lost nine points last week.
The Colonels will be last. However, they
have a lot of spanking youngsters, who,
after they got settled. put up a clipping
game for practically new team, without
any seasoned pitching talent or experienced
catchers. That they will not be last next
year is the general opinion in the East as
well as in the West.

TRAINING FOR The FIGHT
German and Mcmillan in Great
Shape for Their Contest.
Kid" Thomson, the Colorado Light
weight Coming East-Jerry Mar
shall TO Be Matched.

As the time for the Mcmillan and German
glove contest draws near there is much
interest shown in the event by sporting
men, especially among the race track con-
tingent. There have been several bets
made, one of them Of 500 TO SO, with
German on the short end. The Washington
sports seem To be confident that the local
man will have the best of the go and are
backing their opinion heavily.
Quite large contingent of New Yorkers
will come down tn see the contest, and as
they are one and all Gormans friends,
there will be n0 lack of cash al the rngside.
The warm weather OF the past two weeks
has been very hard on the men In their
training, but taking everything into CON
sileration, they are Ill fair condition and
with cooler weather and a chance to get
in little hard work, they will enter the
ring in the pink of condition.
Owing to the fact of Mcmillan being such
a great favorite in this city, German will
do his utmost to win, as victory will mean
a great deal TO him. He will, by defeating
Mcmillan, establish a reputation among
local sports that will insure his success
in this section. OF course, he has not
yet licked Mcmillan, and few Washington
lovers of the fistic sport expect TO see
their champion go under.
When the records of the two men are sized
upit is a difficult matter tochoosea winner.
They have both met and defeated some
good men in their day and If class counts
for anything will put up great fight.
There is every indication that the arena
OF the Eureka Club will be taxed to its
utmost capacity when the men face each
other next Monday, the 30th. Application
forticketS have been pouring inand Secretary
Martin, Of the Eureka, has been kept busy
filling the wants of the sporting fraternity
German is training at the Hotel Lawrence
where there is fine gymnasium in the rear.
Denver" Billy Woods is handling him and
this fact alone is a guarantee that Paddy
will enter the ring fit to fight for mans
life.
Woods is bringing Kid Thompson, The
champion lightweight OF Colorado, from
Deliver and is anxious to match him against
any of the Iightweights In this section.
Ted Alexander is also associated with
German in his training and will probably
be in his corner the night of the fight.
Alexander is making arrangements to match
Jerry Marshall against some one of the
prominent Eastern feather-weights, prob
ably Frank Erne, of Buffalo. The fight
will be brought off before the Active
Athletic Club, Constable Hook, n. j.,
after the Griffo-Lavigne fight, which takes
place the 18th of next month.
Should Marshall be successful in this
fight Alexander will again go on the war
path after George Dixon. He has bee n try
ing TO book Marshall for a fight with
o'Rourke's protcge for nearly two years,
but has received no satisfaction from the
colored lads manager, who is always on
the lookout for soft snaps.

NOT AT ALL LIKE THE LORD
Dunraven Could Learn Point From
the New Challenger.
Mr.. Rose Is Not A fra ir of Interference
and Good-NaturedIy Expects
Some Friction.

London, Sept. 22.-The town residence of
Yacht Club for a race for the Americas cup,
is beautiful house in Hill street.
There a representative of the Associated
Press saw him to night Mr.. Rose is tall,
athletic looking man about forty years OF
age, with a bronzed face.
He was asked for particulars regarding
his challenge for the Americas cup, and
replied:
'Yes, am going to challenge for the
cup. / have sent preliminary message
to the secretary OF the New York Yacht
Club and 1 have also communicated with
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan on the subject.
1.-The formal challenge will go through
the Royal Victoria Yacht Club next week,
as soon as the designers and 1 shall have
agreed on the dimensions of the yacht
which is to be built and other particulars
which 1t is necessary to incorporate in
the challenge.
1.-The yacht will be designed by soper,
and it will be built at Fay's yard in South
ampton I can give you no further partic-
ulars as really they are not.settled yet"
Shall you make 1t a condition that the
races for the Americas cup must
be held elsewhere than in the vicinity of
New York;" was asked.
Certainly not" replied Mr.. Rose. II
shall make no conditions, though, OF
course, I am most anxious that the races
shall be held where there will be no chance
Of interference and 1 have no doubt that
tue New York committee feel the same
way" t1
ut was feared" observed the inter-
viewer, THAT the recent fiasco would
prevent any Englishman from challenging
again."
'Oh, no." said Mr.. Rose. 1.-THE af-
Lair is regretted ON both sides, A certain
amount Of friction is ihseparable from
all sporting contests, but that Will not
deter US from trying again."

LANKY BOB and HIS LION
Both Passed Through Washington
Last Night Bound for Texas.
Fitz Said the Referee Question
Is Settled.

Despite the lateness of the hour, there
was large crowd at the Sixth street depot
last night when the train from New York
with Bob Fitzsinmons' three special cars
attached, pulled In. There was a rust
for the gate when Fitz came down to the
baggage room to recheck his trunks, as
every one wanted to get peep at the man
who is TO meet Champion Corbett.
In Fitz's party were Mrs. Fitzsimmons
Mrs. Julian, Charlie White, his trainer,
and the German wrestler Emil Roeber
Martin Julian, his manager, started with
the party, but got separated from them
in Philadelphia and was left behind. He
came through on later train and will join
the Others in Lynchburg, Va, where
Fitzsimmons win give an exhibition.
From there the party will go to Corpus
Christi, making n short stay at San An
tonic. FitZ has rented a cottage near
Corpus Christi, where daily exhibitions
will be given during the season he will
train there. .s
Fits car did not stop in the depot more
than live minutes, as ii was twenty min
utes behind time, but while the pugilist
was attending to his luggage he did little
talking to representative or The Times.
Speak King on the subject of the referee
to be selected for the fight with Corbett.
FitZsimmons said: THE difference in re-
lation to the referee has been finally set
tied. The names of six men will be sub
mitted one week before the fight, three
men by each side. and then these six men
Will select one from their number, who
will be the referee" "'''" --''
He simply laughed wheB>asked what he
thought would be the outcome of his meet
ing with Corbett, and said IN an off-hand
manner: ''Oh, Wen have too wait and
see."
Fitz was looking well. as was everyone
else in the party. He wore aredsweater and
no coat, which showed off his athletic
shoulders and chest to good advantage.
Bob said that he would stay in Corpus
Christi until a few days before the fight
takes place.
Nero" the fighting lion, was of the
praty. and Bob had four crates of live
chickens, which constitute his chief article
of food on the journey.

The Senators will start the last week OF
Yorks as the opposing team. Mercer viii
do the pitching for the locals and the Indi-
ana twirler will be in the points for the
visitors.
The Giants have just been switched three
straights by the Bostons and as the Senators
are playing pretty fair game 1t is not
hopeless to look for two of the three, or a
repetition of the Boston trick.
KEEP UP THE WORK.
De Montreville will, in all likelihood. cover
short, and the old reliable, Mcclure, will
continue his good work behind the bat.
Cartwright, Crooks, and Joyce, at latest
accounts, viii cover the bags, while Sclbach,
Brown, and Abbey viii officiate in the
outfield.
Mercer has been pitching an excellent
game recently, and if he can control the
ball to-day, the Senators will come out
winners without a doubt.
For the visitors, Dayis-wiIl probably
be seen at second base, and eX-Pitoher
German will guard the third bag. Wilson
Will do the catching, as Farrell has been
laid up for some time.
GAME TO BEGIN EARLY.
The local management has concluded to
call the game at p. m, and the chances
for seeing full nine-inning contest are
better than at any time of late. At this
action the average fan VIII be pleased, and
the rooter viii have an excellent chance
for his white alley"
On Thursday the Bostons will be here for
the windup. and it is quite probable that
the make up of the team will be altogether
different than it was when they were here
before. Harrington, the new man at
second, has been putting up a fast game,
and Dolan, the south paw cyclone, Will
pitch in one of the games.
