| and this should also prove good drawing
card Siddons is well known as great
finish fighter and is probably the best man
that could have been selected To draw out
the good points of the clever colored lad.
On paper, however. il looks as If Cans had
aimed little high.
| One of the best fights that he ever put
up was in an eighteen-round bout with
Howard Wilson at Kcrnaus Theater in this
| city. Wilson is very clever boy, but he
had his hands full with the baltimore lad.
OF the Woods-Godfrey fight, the general
| opinion seems to be that "Old Chocolate"
will have an easy thing of it. When these
men were billed to go twenty rounds before
the Eureka club across the river bets were
| laid that Godfrey would win inside of ten
| rounds.
The friends of Joe Bateman will tender
him a benefit at Forrest Hail, Georgetown,
Thursday night, October 81, which gives
promise of being one of the biggest things
or the kind ever pulled off in the old hall.
In addition to the many four-round bouts
tnat Will be put on, there Will be grand
bag-punching contest between Billy Nc
MILAN, 'Hite" Peckham, Pat Racdy and
Joe Bateman, for the championship of the
District and gold medal
Joe Bateman will attempt to outpoint
the Following wellknown boxers In bouts
of four rounds each: George Havilander,
Taddens' Kenny and George Leonard.
In addition to this there will be fourround
contests between Billy McAiillin and ''Hite"
Peckhain, Mike Raedy and Pat Raedy, Billy
Nally and Pat O'Connor, Young Saw and
Nubby Gross, Hugh Lyons and Jack-Dolan,
and Ralph Irving and Johnny Mccarthy.
As a wind-up there will be a battle royal
between three local 'scrappers' that
promises great sport. The benefit is under
the management of Bateman's trainer, ].

up, should furnish rare treat for the
local lovers OF the squared circle
The interest of football teams and en-
thusiasts of the city seem, "a present, to be
cehtered upon the approaching contest be-
tween thc eieyens of the Potomac and Orient
Athletic Clubs, which is to take place
Wednesday. October 80, at the National
Baseball Park at y. IN.
Competent judges of the game are of the
opinion that the two teams are about as
evenly matched as is possible. The Poto-
macs, early in the season, defeated the
Central High School Representatives in
two short practices games, each by the score,
or TO U, and few days ago held the
strong Gallaudet team down TO points,
playing by far the stronger game with
luck against them.

The action of Peter De Lacy in at
tempting TO stop the racing ut Morris Park
recalls the fight which took place several
years ago between the poolroom man and
the race tracks. From that day TO this
De Lacy has been a bitter enemy of the
tracks, and whenever he gets a chance
TO iniurc them in any manner whatever he
is sure 10 take advantage of ii.
Things had run along so smoothly this
season that the officials of the Jockey
cub were led to believe that no attempt
would be made To prevent the races from
frotn taking place. Just what object
DE Lacy has in jumping in at this stage
of the game, when the nd of The season is
SO near, is hard to say.
The arrests that were made at Morris
Park were entirely unlocked for, and no
one was more surprised tina the officials
of the Westch.ster County Racing A >sUcia-
tiOn when the warrants We're served. IL
looks very much like dog in the
mangcr" action on the part of De Lacy.
He has always gotten the worst end of
any tights that have taken place between
him and the tracks, and il is not likely
that he Will be any more successful in this
instance than he has heretofore.
On just what authority plunrcr Riley
GrannUn was arrested was not made piaIn.
Possibly some one pointed him out as one
OF the bookmakers, or as the New York
papers term them, layers" but IL is
more probable that il was "A piece Of spite

While the meeting at Elkton is taking a
Doom the sport at the across the river
tracks is looking up considerably and the
past week showed a marked Improvement
in not only theclass of horses that contested
Tor the purses, but in the amount OF money
that showed in the ring. There Were five
books ON all the week and they We're kcpu
busy with the exception of the first couple
OF days, when things looked somewhat dull.
The advent of some New Yorkers in the
ring was the principal cause of the I'M
provement shown. They could not stand"
for the Morris Park meeting with its
racing one day and staying i'll town the
next, so came down to take Il chance with
the outlaws.
Few of them are sorry that they did so,
as the betters have had way the best OF -.
game during the past week. Out OF the
Hhirty-six races that were run no less than
twenty first choices crossed the plate in the
van. These were closely followed by
twelve strong second and third choices,
While only four pronounced outsiders man
aged to land the money.
Such a percentage as this Is enough TO
make any member of The "taient'' decide
that the game is good enough for him to
Stuck by. Despite the number of winning
favorites, however, the books have not Suf-
fered TO the extent that would be supposed.
The outsiders have been supported so
heavily that most of the books have been
able to round up their Sheets Still, they
would prefer 10 see few less fayorites
getting the money.

Jockeys Neary, Neel. and Gleason have
been the king pins during the past week.
Between them they have carried off no less
than twenty races. Neary leads the list with
eight, while Neel is right at his heels with
seven to his credit. Little Gleason is not
out of the hunt by any means, and has five
chalked up to his credit.
Al. Moore came out of his hole and
managed to land three winners, while
Patsey McDermott was next in line with
two. Patsey, by the way, might have had
one or two more If he had been n little
more anxious. However, Patsey Is all
right and he probably went to sleep when
he and Traitor got fairly started in the
closing race on Saturday.
The horse sales that have been taking
place In New York are, in way, q good
thing for the across-the-river racing. Many
of the racers who have been attempting to
earn their bread and butter on the Northern
tracks with, as rule, Indifferent success,
have come under the hammer during the
past few weeks and have in several cases
been bought by outlaw owners.
Perfidy, Imp. Samaritan Wellman. Pot
ASH, and Austin are all importations from
the Dig tracks and have added Zest
to the across-the-river sport. Perfidy and
Samaritan have proven little too good
and have both won several
races. Austin will also lower the colors of
more than will show their heels to him.
At the sale, which was held Saturday
at Norris Park, several more horses were
bought by members of the outlaw ranks.
Steve LHommedieu purchased Buccaneer.
II. Flippin bought Boisterous, and Mr..
Hutchinson, for the Flakewood Stables.
purchased hundred dollar skate.
There is a great card offered by the
st. Asaph management to-day. 1t is not
very well filled, but gives promise of some
hotly contested races. Several of the old
outlaw favorites, such as Siberia and
Berwyn, are on the card and will be well
coined by the talent.
The first event, which is for two-year-
olds, has seven entries. 1t is at four and a
halr furlongs and at the distance Little
Ralph looks 10 have landed in an easy place.
III 1t was little further Mario would
have a great chance. He is the next hest
however, and il Ralph wins should be sec
ond. Sails has shown good enough form
to run into third money
The second event is n peach and the
man who picks winner out of ii deserves
to get the money. There are also a ronnd
seven in this race. Duke of Fief will prob
ably be made the favorite- and if he can
dispose of Sir Rae he will win. 1t will be
