ELKWooD PARK SHOOTING.
Sixth Annual Grand American Hand
leap at Long branch

Long Branch, n j., March 23.-The sixth an
nual Grand American Handicap began aEIspiciously
at the Elkwood Park traps this morning. W Z.
Baker, OF nlinos, started the big shoot by nail
ing driver just before it reached the boundary
fence. During the day more than 1900 fast-lying
pigeons were trapped. All the contestants finished
the ninth round, and 100 Of them shot at
their twelfth birds before the fast-gathering
darkness compelled them 10 retire OF the 100
who shot at twelve birds, there were seventeen
who guessed their entire allotment. The sport
was viewed by of the largest gatherings
that ever attended the fixture
There six post entries and ten forfeits
making a total OF 1g7, who faced the traps at
the start of the race OF this number 81 missed
one more at the end of the third round,
leaving 1856 contestants with straight scores Mrs.
Shattuck drew a hard right quartering driver
for her fifth selection. 1t escaped without the
loss OF a single tailieather. and she also failed
to stop the seventh and eighth which left her
at the end OF the days shooting with three
misses.
At the end OF the sixth round there were
ninety that still continued to kill straight while,
at the close OF the ninth round there were but
sixty-one.
George S. McAlpin, of the Cartaret Gun Club,

PUGILISTIC GOSSIP.

While particulars of the battle at
San Francisco on Tuesday are meager,
enough has been learned to convince
almost any one at all familiar with
ring affairs that Peter Jackson was
completely Outclassed by Jem Jeffries.
The general notion was that Jeffries
would win. But there were few who
believed he would win so quickly and
decisively. His performance no doubt
astonished even his warmest admirers
and will greatly strengthen their oft
repeated belief that JeffrieS is of
championship make.
The mass of the sporting fraternity.
however, is not likely to put much
value on the Californian's victory.
Their argument will be that Jackson
has had his day. That he was not
the Jackson who cleaned up Frank
Slavin, and with a crippled leg stood
Jim COrbett off for siXty-one rounds.
That there is much reason in this claim
cannot be denied. Jackson could hard
ly have been the man he was five
years ago He stood training well and
appeared to have lost little of his Prov
ess as a great fighter. But when the
test came he was found wanting 1t
cannot be said, however. that Jackson
was a dead man, and JeffrieS. notWith-
standing the popular phase that will
graduate himself on his work.
While few of those who think they
know a fighter when they see him
have given Jeffries serious considera-
ton as a championship possibility,
there is no denying the fact that he
has been making pretty rapid prog
ress since he donned the mittens.
Jeffries, like Bob Fitzsmmons. is
a blacksmith. He is by long odds
the biggest man in the ring today
He is six feet and an inch tall
and in the fight Tuesday night
weighed 215 pounds. He made his
debut in the ring less than a wear
ago, on April 9, 1897, with Tom Won
Buskirk, another husky Californian
whom he knocked out in two rounds
Within a month after this battle he
fought Henry Baker and knocked him
out in nine rounds. The neatness with
which Jeffries did his work on Won
Buskirk and Baker at once gave him
prominence, and he was matched with

INFANTRY CHAMPIONS AGAIN.
Eastern Athletics Gave the Soldiers
the Closest Run of the Series.

The largest crowd Of this season, not even ex-
cepting the which witnessed the Yale contest
was present in the Infantry armory last night
to see the last championship game of the series
between the Light Infantry and Eastern Ath-
letic Club. The soldiers won by the score OF
G to 4, after the hardest kind of a struggle. The
game at all times so fast and snappy that
there was little room for free passing
1t was generally conceded that the athletic
boys ouplayed the soldiers on several points. es-
pecially in field goal throwing, as all but one
OF their goals from clever field plays On
the other hand, the Infantry's goals were all
pure gift throws, except one.
On account of the intense rivalry between
the teams the players several times threw
aside rules, and rough scrimmage plays resulted

the closest they have had this season. and

Indian will receive $500 in a lump at the end

Chicago has five left handed batters this sea-

the pitcher from the side nearest first base are
Everett, Thornton, Friend, Isbell and Kilroy.
1t is expected that Friend and Thornton, two

He was playing second base for the Springfield

second base he gave that afternoon was a fine
imitation of Childs McPhce Henry Reitz.
Jimmy blocked runners off the base, and sprinted
all over the infeld after hard-hit groundeTs.
Jimmy IS one OF the striking proofs OF the very
