The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1898-01-13

Martin Julian. who is in St. Paul,
said. yesterday. that If Corbett and
Fitzsimmons should visit the same
town there would be a fight. He says
that "F'itz' is angry because Corbett
sent him a dispatch from Cincinnati
to the effect that the champion ran
away from Chicago to keep from meet
ing him.
Patience has ceased to be a virtue
with Fftzsimmons," said Julian. so
you may saw that whenever Mr.. Cor
bett does meet Fitzsimmons, Mr.. Cor
bett will get the worst licking he ever
had in all his born days. / promise
you that Bob viii put him TO sleep
a good deal sounder than he did at
Carson.
I'VE are not looking for trouble
continued Julian. s'bul I take il that
any man has a right TO go about this
country peaceably attending to his bus
mess, and if Corbett comes our way
after the threats he has been making
ii will be fair~eneush to assume that
he wants to make grand stand play
at our expense.
We'll. he will be carried away on n
stretcher This is the first time that j
have replied in this manner TO any OF
the remarks COrbett has made, but
( repeat that if Corbett comes looking
for Fitz he will get an awful licking
First Raseman Jack Doyle yesterday
entertained a party Of friends over in
= Baltimore by reciting some of his eX-
periences on his recent trip across the
continent His story about battle
between coclroaches is immense. Jack
says the Chinese train the reaches TO
fight. Two are put i'm the ring and
go at il hammer and tongs, while the
Celestials crowd around making heavy
bets on the result. Doyle spent ten
DAYS hunting quail nearly two humid
dred-1ai4es from Los Angeles. The
cunning beat anything j ever heard
? Of Said Jacf.S-'It was case OF al
WAYS walking into coveys. and reg
ulation hunter Would hardly have left
the locality"
/ one of Doyle's exciting experiences
Z was a coast -of~five miles down a
mountain top to balmy weather al the
T bottom. after a hair-raising spin
a through tunnels--and around curves.
The annual meeting Of the Brooklyn
Baseball Club was held yesterday. The
directors elected Charles IL Ehbctts.
: who recently purchased controlling
! shares of stock. as president. An ag-
gressiye policy is being mapped out,
By which il is expected TO place the
club on a paying basis Mr.. Ebhetts IN
accepting the office of president went
over the ground thoroughly. He read
offers from local railroad companies,
looking to the transfer OF the club from
Eastern Park and emphasized the fact
/ that removal was necessary II is just
possible that no spring trip will be
| made this year.
Manager Barnie has decided on the
makeup of Brooklyn for the coming
season. First base will be covered by
( La Chance. Billy Mailman viii cover
second base. a place he should
strengthen. if he can get his winter
again cover third. George Smith.
Beam. of Newport. and Sheckard are
I the candidates for short field. Smith
is a strong enough fielder FOR any team.
but he cannot hit Beam. is quite light
and an unknown quantity. Sheckard
can hit but ii is thought will never
make an infielder. Jones, Griffin and
Anderson viii again make up the out
field. The team has a raft of battery
! PLAYERS. Grim and Alec Smith, catch
. ers. are still in line. together with
/ Jack Ryan. the former Boston back
stop. who is a first-class man, and
young Crisham. OF Newport. a promis-
ing colt Nine pitchers are on the
I clubs roll. including kennedy. Dunn.
/ Payne Yeager. Horton, Hansford
I Dowd, Fisher and Miller.
Ben Brush. recently purchased by
I James r. Keeue from 81. F. Dwyer
! has been entered by his new owner for
/ the Brooklyn. the suburban and the
! June handicapS. but viii be sent abroad
later TO try the mettle of the English
/ cracks. This is the program mapped
out for the sturdy fiVe-year-old son of
/ Bramble- RoseVill according to mis-
new owner. Mr.. keene said that the
I weather at sea is too unsettled at this
I time of the year to trust such val
liable racing machine as Ben Brush to
! its mercies. The horse is consequently
/ entered for the forthcoming big ham
/ dicaps here, and when the season is
/ more advanced and the weather mild
! CT he viii be sent to England If the
situation at that time justifies such
an ambitious undertaking.
There are many fan pIums on the
/ British schedule to which Ben might
take a liking. and as he has speed,
! -gameness and stamina Of the highest
/ order there should be little difficulty
in placing him efectua1iy. Meanwhile.
4 the Keene stable abroad will be
strengthened by a string of six or
eight horses. which viii be shipped
from here about the end of this month.
/ They viii be quartered at Newmarket
under the care of Jacob Pincus, the
shreNd English trainer. who has now
in charge for Mr.. keene st. Cloud,
/ Voter. Criel and Black Cock. With
such trial tackle at hand. Pincus
/ should soon be able to get a reliable
+ line on the recruits and the indications
are that the Keene Jacket will be seen
/ frequently and prominently on the
/ British circuit even before the advent
/ of Ben Brush.
