RAEDY -PECKHAM FIGHT
Both Men Will Go Into Training
at Once.
Hite VIII Train ut St Asaph.
Gossip Among the
Pugs
FIGHT

Hte Peckham, one OF the principals to
the local mill 70 be- pulled off TuesLa even
ing, March 81, was down town yesterday
afternoon receiving the greetings OF his
friends.
Peckham looks TO be in splendid condition
at present but says he will go through a
systematic course OF training. He weighs
15S pounds now and on going in to train
ing VIII seek to add flesh for the first
ten days. The last two weeks before the
contest will be used Ia reducing and harden
ing SO that he can enter the ring at his
usual fighting weight OF Between lao and
$50 pounds.
Peckham will train at the st. A saph's
track and on the roads around Alexand
Pat Raedy, the other principal 10 the
fight. is keeping good tab on himself and
has already commenced flaming or a light
nature. He feels that in this contest he
has chance TO gain reputation and win
coin and he viii make Conscientious effort
TO reward the steady allegiance and I'M
waverlng fealty OF lis friends.
Raedy is an honest boy and against
Peckham he. will give his followers salts
factory run for their money.
At well known down town resort yes
terday afternoon an offer, 10 bet $50 even
on Raedy in the fight against Peckham was
not taken. Peckham money viii probably
come TO the surface later on.
1t is the opinion OF sporiSmen that the
National Club OF London made a mistak he
in designating Richard X. Fox as its
American representative 10 arrange inc
details Of the fight between Corbett and
FitZsimmons.
Fox. as the owner of the pink sheet
publication, has a way OF suburdinating
all sporting events brought off under
his auspices to the private interests OF
his paper. Such procedure has made
him and his paper unpopular in the past
and the same Objection obtains at present.
The pink sheet has a way OF attacking
those who will not wear its collar and
for this reason John l.. Sullivan, while
be was champion, was regularly maligned.
AS COrbett and FitZsimmons are both
independent, financially, Fox and his
folks will have TO be very diplomatic
and very obliging TO bring them To terms.
IF it be true that John L. Sullivan is
slowly dying from dropsy. wave of
deep sympathy and a hope for a peaceful
ending will go out to him who has been
the greatest gladiator OF modern times.
Many may have been Honest John LIS
faults in his palmy days, but he bears
the enviable reputa ton of having never
turned a deaf ear to appeals for cha rity,
and 10 his friends lie has been as true as
steel.
1t seems impossible for Young Griffo's
friends to keep him sober. John Barley
corn knocks him out every time they put
on the gloves together.

starter, and in connection would like to add
that the impartiality and fairness of Mars.
Cassidy of the Old Dominion Jockey Club
casion he was starting field of fifteen
and ii was impossible to get one of the
horses to break. But his remedy was
original and shows that it is not always
the fault of the horse. He got down from
the stand, rode tie horse. himself bet on
him and won the race, He acted on the
advice of a famous English jockey who
once said he would not bet on any horse
he did not own, ride and train.

TRANSFERS FOR ANAOOSTIA
iii to Go TO The Senate Next Week
providing That Bob-tailed Coaches
Must stop AT Four-nnd-a half Street
and Missouri Aycnue-Tired of MI
merous Excuses.

Things are going TO be hustled on ;he
AnacOstia street railway
That part of the Ana costa line which
runs over the Metropolitan line is what has
caused the ava kenng. The change ynot
come until next week, but il is coming all
the same.
The matter has been interesting certain
members of Congress great deal. A plan
has about been outlined and is to be for
mu1htcd into bill next week. Then il Will
be presented III the Senate. There is but
little doubt but that ii Will go swimmingly
through. Some OF the effects will not be
felt for some time, but other adYanta ees
VIII be patent at once.
ONE-HORSE CAR NUISANCE.
The Ana costa one-borse cars travel over
me metropolitan line from FCur-and-a-half
street ana Missouri avenue up past the Bal
utnore and Potomac railroad station. then
Oh past the market house: up Ninth street
TO u, and then back on the line at Ninth
street and follows ii to Four-and-a- half
street and Missouri avenue again. As long
as the Metropolitan used horse cars il did
not make so much difference, but now the
electric cars are detained every day by tbe
slow, poh, oneh horse cars.
Tire AnacoStia road has reon ',nablc or
unwilling to make move of any kind. The
mana cement has pGked along ana nothing
,ias come from all the complaints made.
Now the Senate Will take upon itself the
lberty or prodding these people up. They
have their plan of prodding al ready.
The Metropolitan road stands ready at
short notice To build branch from Four
and-a-half street and Missouri avenue over
10 Anacostla. This road would be glad 10
have il.
THE NEW PLAN.
The Capital Railway Company is also
ready to take up the streets on which the
Anacostia road is built Ithas been anxious
10 open up that territory and wants the
streets. But the AnacoStia management
viii not listen to anything. They want
what they have and seem to think it is
good enough.
The outline of the plan which has been
about decided on is this: The AnacOStia
management is TO be given two years i'll
which TO build an underground electric
road. They are 10 be required, also TO
accept an Offer OF the Metropolitan Com
pany and transfer at the corner of Four-and-
a-half street and Missouri avenue. The
Metropolitan Company has offered To trans
fer a this point both ways.
This would relieve the electric company
OF the nuisance OF these One-horse ears. The
AnacoStia people would make by it and
no one would be the loser. This Is the
plan which Will be formulated into a bill
next week.

ON INTERSTATE GAMBLING.
Hearing Given by the Judiciary Com
mittee on the Gillett Bill.

The subcommittee of the House Judiciary
Committee, which has in charge the Gillctt
bill to prevent the notification OF State anti
gambling laws by extending to interstate
gambling by telegraph the penalties pro-
Vided for interstate gambling by mail and
express, gave hearing yesterday to the
author of the bill, Wilbur F. Crafts, super
intendent of the National Bureau Of Re
forms.
He argued that the bill is but the logical
and needed completion of previous laws of
Congress against using the mails for like
schemes.
He urged that it was especially needed to
prevent the notification of State legisla-
ton against gambling, such as has been
enacted by twelve States within year, and
cited the recent decision of the circuit court
in Montgomery, Ala, that gambling on
races i'll other States cannot be prohibited
by State laws, at any rate, not by laws that
allow even restricted gambling on races
within the State irSelf.
He referred TO the fact that in nearly all
States winter racing is forbidden, but in
the lack of such law as this the whole
country CANDLES on the New orleans winter
races. which would be impossbleif this law
forbidding the transmission of gambling
bets or reports of such bets should become
h law.
