BETTING ON BIG FIGHT.
Fitzsimmons Rules FavOrite at
Odds of Two to One.

UAtASAuhAUhS tulcS FaVOF1te at
Odds of Two to One.
NEW YORK, May 24-There has been
quite lull in the betting on the result
of the battle between Bob FItzsimmons
and jim Jeffries. This is not strange in
view of the fact that the champion is
such a hot favorite. Those who have fol-
lowed Fitzsimmons' record think he cam
not loose. In some instances this belief
is shared by the admirers of Jeffries, and
this alone keeps the betting fraternity
from coming to the front. Commissions,
however, are arriving daily from out-of-
town sports. In the West Teffries seems
to have the call, but the amounts to
wage on him are surprisingly small. Billy
Edwards has received about $500 to spec
ulate any way he sees fit. lie picks Fitz-
simmons to win. Edwards cannot sec
why the adherents of FitZsimmons should
be compelled to give exorbitant odds,
however.
At Corbett's cafe, Harry Bulger made a
wager on Jeffries of $500 to $500 with a
Western man. Rulger wants to get down
$500 more at the same figures. Leo Tel
cess seu .spIsId y Ieq9M 10 IsSVuBuu 'LsI
more with which to back Fitzsimmons.
Joe Vendig wants to bet $1,000 on Fitz-
simmons, but will only give 800 to $40.
Milton Roblee found taker for 800 yes
terday on Fitzsimmons. Roblee says he
was forced to give to l. A bet of $50
to 81, 00J was recorded at the Hotel MARI
borough. A man named Kline, of Frisco,
took the short end.

the New York state league.

Keller, like Arson did when he led the
league in batting years ago, holds his
bat fully six inches from the end.
Charles Young. the southpaw twirler
of the Cornell university team, is slated
for a trial by Brooklyn.
It is a safe bet that there Is not a
catcher in any league who is doing any
better work than Is Jack Boyle at this
time.

Miss Kennedy said there was entirely
too much freedom given the boys and
but little effort was made to restrain
them in anything they undertook to
carry out. AT no time in former years
we're the boys allowed to use tobacco
but now she says the boys are permit
ted to use tobacco in any form. She
says that one of the boys informed her
that the superintendent had notified 25
of the larger boys, who were uncon-
trolable, that they were to be released
from the institution. One of the boys
replied to the superintendent that it
was impossible to do that, but the
uperintendent said it could be done for
the reason that three members of the
board of charities and corrections were
populists and that they would do as he
said, thus admitting his inability to
control the inmates. She stated that
Whenever the boys went out to play
ball it was necessary to have q posse
along to prevent them from running
away. Miss Kennedy, as stated above,
said that two days in the reform school
suficed for her to form the opinion
that Supt. Tompkins was failure.

Two Ladies' From tho Reform School
Talk About the Now Management.
According to all reports, which come
from q reliable source, Supt. Tompkins
is having . serious time in managing
the inmates of the reform school At
PlAnkinton. We met two ladies
Monday who had been In the employ Of
the school under the old and new sd-
ministrations and they freely stated
that tho new superintendent was wholly
incapable Of running the institution.
The ladies referred to are Misses Anna
Oestriok, of Hubbard, Iowa, aud Miss
Kate Kennedy, Of Holy Cross, Kan
sas, both having resigned their posis-
ions Saturday and were on their way
home. Miss Kennedy was with Col.
Ainsworth until he was replaced by
Mr.. Tompkins, when she quit and went
home. Since then Supt. Tompkins has
repeatedly written to Miss Kennedy to
return and she finally did 80 on
Wednesday of last week. She said that
two days, however, was sufficient for
her and she refused to remain in suoh
an ill-goyerned institution.
