team will surprise quite a few people this
season or 1 miss my guess. Well beat
out the New Yorks anyway. In Kennedy,
Gumbert. Stein. Lucid and Daub we have
an excellent corps of pitchers Gumbert
will do good work for us. In Chicago he
was at Ioggerheads with Arson, and he
did not fancy his surroundings in Pitts
burg. He has been anxious to come to
the metropolis and. being satisfactorily
located he will put forth his best efforts
1 still have confidence that Daub will do
WELL and the other twirlerS are among
the best in the profession.
Behind the bat we are exceptionally
strong Grim Con. Daley and the new
man. Burrill, make us well nigh impreg-
nable in the back-stop position Lachance
at first, Tom Daily at second. Mulvey on
third AMI Tommy Corcoran at short will
be the infield. There has been some talk
of Daily being a weak spot, but just tell
me which second baseman overclasses him
-McPhee, Bierbauer and Reitz. No others
I'VE have five outfielders-Anderson
Tredway. Burns, Hines, and last, but not
least, Mike Griffin. The latter is. of course
incompatible, and this man Anderson Will
jump into popular favor at once. fhere Is
ball player in every sense or the WORD,
and no mistake. Just which of the four
candidates will be selected to cover right
and left fields depends upon their work In
the practice games. Tom Burns will not
be released unless we can make trade for
man his equal
IF Dave FoutZ cannot play he will be re-
tanned as manager. He is too good a man
to let go. We are not saying much, but
don't forget that we have quietly brought
together a great team"

SOME SPIRITED BOUTS.
The Canterbury Athletic Club Cele-
brnte Their Third Birthday.

The Canterbury Athletic Club gave an in
teresting athletic exhibition in their new
club house, Marinis Hall, last evening, in
celebration of their third anniversary. The
program included eight sparring bouts and
one wrestling bout, all of which were well
contested and exciting. Banks and Brown,
colored, put up a spirited fight for five
rounds 1t was declared a draw. The
next bout, between two boys, named Saw
and Reed, also resulted in a draw. Howard
Wilson, the champion light weight of the
District, had easy victory over a Balti-
more boxer named William Jackson. Joe
Batenlan won his bout with Jim Burke Of
Chicago in the first round. A hurricane
battle between Holcombe and Robinson,
colored middle weights, was decided in IA
vor of the first named. There were two
friendly exhibitions between members of
the club, and the entertainment closed
with wrestling match between Jake Lus-
key and Mike Sullivan. 1t was declared a
draw, neither having secured fall.
Trying to Make Reform Odious.
The racing associations are having a bill
prepared to present to the New York legis-
lature which shall simply legalize racing.
This is, however but preliminary step,
and If it passes there will speedily follow
the introduction of a concurrent resolution
amending the constitution so as to nullify
the anti-gamblng amendment so far as 1t
relates to betting on the race track.
Senator Timothy D. Sullivan says: 1T is
about time 1 turned reformer, and as owl
dence of my reform l have introduced q
bill to fine every association $50 a day
every time they permit racing on their
tracks," This $50 fire would indirectly per-
NIT racing, and this is probably the object
of the bill. 1t would be cheaper than pay
ing the tax on gross receipts imposed by
the Ives pool law.
