FOR THE TEMPLECUP
First Game to Be Played at Cleve-
land Today.
BETTING ON THE SERIES Is EVEN
Both Teams Seem Confident of
Victory.
MANLY SPORTS IN GENERAL

The first game between the Clevelands
and the Baltimores for the Temple cup is
played this afternoon at Cleveland The
Baltimores arrived there yesterday after
noon. Breakfast was taken at Buffalo,
and all showed excellent appetites.
The weather is a little COOL but 1t is clear
end bracing, and the prospects are for i'm
mense attendance at the game. Reserved
seats are sold for 81 each, and excursion
trains will run into the city on each of the
playing days. The Cleveland papers prom
ise that the home club will give the Orioles
surprise.
Neither Manager Hanlon nor Manager
Tebeau would say last night who would
pitch. Each preferred to wait and see
what the other side would do. 1t would
not be surprising, however. If Mcmahon
and Young started in on the rubber.
Both teams are confident of victory, and
the struggle is sure to be bitter one. The
two-time champions are accompanied by a
number of rooters from Baltimore and
elsewhere, who make the corridors of the
Hollenden Hotel gaudy with their display
of orange and black.
The visitors are maintaining the rules
of training which they observed through
the championship season, and are not I'M
duly celebrating their glorious victory.
Considerable betting on the result of the
series is being done, mostly at even money.
Keefe and Hurst are ready TO umpire the
first game, and Erslie is expected before
the game starts today. The contests will
be played under the rules laid down by the
leagues committee on the series, and the
players will be subject to fines just as
they are in league contests, the fines to be
deducted from their shares of the receipts.
Any player being put out of any game by
the umpire will net be eligible to play In
any succeeding contest.
rhe winners will get co per cent of the
receipts and the losers 10 per cent, instead
of IS and 30, the plan was last year
Just before the Raltmores left New York
for Cleveland Amos Rusie and Jouett
Meekin came up to them. Rusie said he
v ould like little talk with Kelley, and
Meckin wanted, likewise, chat with Glea-
son. At the end of the intervie VS. Joe and
the Kid wore contented looks ON their
faces while Rusie and Meekin looked like
men who had done a good act.
The little interviews resulted In Rusie
paying over to Kelley and Meekin over to
Gleason the last penny they owed Of their
share in the last Temple cup games. Kel-
ley and Gleason thanked Rusie and Meekin
for their squareness last year
All of the champions have now received
their share of the Temple cup series ex-
cepting Keller, who is paired with Doyle,
and McGraw, who is paired with Davis.

of the Peury Party.
Lieut.. Peary's colored servant, Matt. Hen
son, and Prof. L. L. Dyche of Kansas
State University arrived at New York from
the arctic regions yesterday on the steam
ship Sylvia
Prof Dyche while reticent AS to the de-
tails of the expedition, admitted that 1t had
been a failure. He declared that Lieut..
Peary had not managed to forge much
further north than on his previous expedi-
ton. He would not give any reason Tor
the failure, other than lack of food in
Lieut.. Peary's camp. When driven back on
his first attempt to reach the north pole.
Lieut. Peary decided to press forward
again in 1894. He had buried food in the
ice. but when he came to look for 1t he
could not locate the cache. He was obliged
to kill his dogs one by one ard feed them
to the others. Dyche says, and his party
lived on walrus meat when they could get
1t.
The professor states cmphatically that
the party would never have reached Amer
verge of starvation Peary and Henson
their lives.
Prof Dyche told a number Of interesting
incidents about hunting walrus, meeting
icebergs and finding meteorites. He
brought back on the Sylvia about four
thousand specimens of arctic flora and
fauna He also brought back six dogs. ThS
specimens will be divided between the Mu-
scum of Natural History. Central Park.

Pugiist James J. Corbett stopped over in
Washir gton yesterday evening on his way
to Dallas, Tex. He was accompanied by
his sec ond wife AID Backer Brady. He
played In a base ball game at National
Park.
The prize fighter was loquacious on the
subject of his projected meeting with F'itZ-
simmons and all the interesting questions
growing out of it. He acknowledged that
he regarded the coming fight with Fitz-
simmons rs the hardest one Of his life, and
declared he was taking care of himself and
training for it with that idea in view He
deLied that he had a sprained knee or any
thing the matter with his limbs or joints
saying he was perfectly sound, and never
felt better in his life He denied also that
he was drinking, and asserted that the
sens atonal meeting between Fitzsimmons
and himself at Green's Hotel in Phila-
delphia some weeks ago was not, as eye
witnesses had stated, an attempt on the
part of the Corbet: party to force a diff
Guilty with Fitzsmiilons, but was brought
about by the latter being little the worse
fer liquor. IN"
Corbett said he did rot believe John L..
Sullivan would be Selected to referee the
fight. which no persisted III classifying as
boxing contest, and was of the opinion
that Gov. Culberson would not persist in
is opposition if he really knew what su n
bout consisted in. The champion seemed
off in Dallas according to schedule despite
the calling of the Legislature together.
The party left the city on II o'clock train
last night for the south. ia

FIGHTING ABOUT THE FIGHT.
PugiIists Have NJ Hopes of the Senate,
but Trust to the House.


AUSTIN, Tex, October 1.-THE fight man
| agement is entirely satisfied with the sit
uation this morning, and say they will
be on the aggressive from now on. 1t is
very evident that the administration forces
are sparring for time in order to get their
forces here, as at present they have not
sufficient strength to cast two-thtrds
vote. The fight management has enough
strength in the house to defeat the meas
ure today, and they will try their best to
force vote Immediately.
The twenty populists In the house eau
cused carly this morning, and 1t is learned
| that they will vote against the emergency
clause III order to down democratic gov
ernor and administration. They do not
want to vote solid unless absolutely neces-
sary, but they pledged that they would be
responsible for the defeat Of the emergency
clause, even if it required solid vote.
Quite an additional batch of lobbyists, In
Guiding preachers and lawyers, arrived on
the scene this morning to take issues, and
the fight is waxing hot.
One of the bills against prize fights intro
duced in the Texas legislature yesterday by
Senator Lewis is recognized as the admins
tratio1 bill. and prescribes that fstic en-
counter between man and man shall be
deemed a felony, and shall be punished by
an Imprisonment of not less than one or
more than five years. The other bill, pre-
pared by Senator Simpson, provides for an
Imprisonment from five to ten years.
AS the situation now stands the hght
management have given up all hopes in
| the senate, but they have eighteen solid
men in the house. and at present these
| eighteen can block the passage Of any
| measure. The matter of the enactment Of
an anti-prize fight law has narrowed down
| to a political row between the administra-
| ton and arti-administratioa crowd, ard
| the Florida Athletic Club has been rele-
| gated to the rear. The fight promises to lie
a very bitter one.
| The Florida Athletic Club has secured, by
telegraph. en- option on the amphitheater
| and arena Used for bull fighting in New
Laredo, Mex This would seem to indicate
that the fight will be pulled off there. The
option is for one month.
