ouWierdom IS interested just now
. over the prospects OF maIcn contest
pslWeeh Cincinnati and Wheeling
oidcks. The local players made
spiehdld showing against sam karpf S
aH-staf Eastern aggregation, and mad
an easy thing at Cannonsburg, but
they realize that they Will be up
against 1t when they are arrayed on
the alleys against Cincinnati That
city has developed some excellent bowl
els, but there has never been any sign
OF weakness on the part Of the local
prayers, and there Will be no trembling
hngers or twltching muscles in sending
the big spheres down after the pins.
MI. VIM. Fette, secretary OF the Wheel
ing League, has been IN correspond
ehce with Cincinnati parties for some
time, and match between the two
cues now appears to be certainty.
iAupplnger, formerly of Wheeling, IS
helplng matters along down the river,
by telling how easy the Wheeling
DoWiers are. Articles OF agreement
were forwarded to Cincinnati, and the
only objection was to six men team.
Wheeling consented to bowl five men
only, and the articles have been signed
Tor match contest for $500 a side.
There is but one way of estimating the
strength of the clubs-a comparison Of
averages-and in this respect Wheel
ing shows up very well in comparison.
The Brooklyn team made about the
same showing against Wheeling as
against Cincinnati, which is another
fact to inspire the local players with
hope and confidence. The Cincinnati
club visits Wheeling first, on Monday
and Tuesday, April 18th and 26th, after
which Wheeling will play return
series of games on the Cincinnati al
leys. The games here will be played
on the Harvest Home alleys. The ma
terial from which the local team will
be selected, and the averages of the
players, are as follows: Stevenson 165,
Hervey 163, Handlan 1852, Fette 15I,
RAIDER 156, Campbell 100, Marshner 1873,
Ennis ISL Dan Bowlin viii coach the
team in Cincinnati and will be assisted
in the home series by jim Day
Sam karpf has very good opinion
of the local players. He tried to ar
range a series OF games here on the
next western tour of his club, and
asked for large guarantee. To make
up the guarantee, it would have been
necessary to charge a large admission
fee to the contests for spectators, and
this was regarded as impracticable.
Instead, the local players sent propo-
sition to Karpf to play match series
with five or six men on a side, for
larger sum than the guarantee asked.
karpf declined The moral is obvious.
At the close of the second week in
the Wheeling tournament, the race of
second division clubs for the Sec
nnd cash nsze. stands as follows.

tor. Mr.. Fitzsimmons departure in the
amusement business has not consisted Of
any attempt at play-acting," but the
champion has confined his stage work to
the vaudeville branch. Mr. Fitzsimmons
heads company of high-class vaudeville
stars, contributing himself, the most in
teresting feature of the programme, in
his celebrated bag punching exhibition
and in spirited boxing setto, In the last
round of which is portrayed exactly by
the champion, the manner in which Cor
bett met his Waterloo. Ernest Roeber
the champion wrestler is also with the
company and offers strong inducements to
local wresters to test their skill during
his stay here. The vaudeville support of
the fistic champion is strong.

Beabout Athletic Club, for his twenty
round contest with Buck Stolzer before
the Bridgeport Athletic Club next
Thursday night. He is within three
pounds of the stipulated weight now,
and expects to take off the surplus fat

fore trained so faithfully and when
he enters the ring he will be in condi-
ton for the battle of his life There
is great deal of quies SPECULATION con-
corning the probable outcome The
Register man saw Burns at work and
joined with everybody else in admir-
ing his science. He is magnificently
built for boxer, and if form and sci
ence count for anything, he should be
the favorite before the contest.
Joe Bruner and AL Ducase are to
meet again, this time at the LAWN
benefit in Parkersburg, next month.
Ducase has no license to defeat the
clever little Cincinnati bantam, but
Joe says there is no glory in defeat
ing the jockey-pugilist, and he is anx-
ious to make a match with some of the
top-notchers.
Nick Bonner won another contest in
Philadelphia Friday night. and now
has a right to aspire to the middle
weight championship.
While the date for the contest be-

Metropolitan Athletic Club on the
night of March %. Gardner is now
training near Cincinnati.
Cleveland, O., February 26.-Cham-
pion Bob Fitzsimmons expresses will
lingness to fight Kid Mccoy. Fitz-
simmons says:
81 will fight Mccoy any time he puts
up enough money to make it worth
while. Mccoy and Rubin have no
more right to fight for the champion
ship than a yellow dog. / will fight
Mccoy any second that he puts up the
stuff Mccoy is miserable upstart.
He has been little successful and it
has made him daffy. The Kid has the
swell head and he thinks he is in the
heavy weight class. | will show him
how to fight if he has the long green
to back up his bluff.
