Tannehill he has apt pupils.
Freeman's hitting is hard. but not ex-

BETTING ON THE BIG FIGHT.
FitzsfmmOns Hot FavOrite Over
the Huge BoiIcrmnker.


New York. May 2O.-There was quite a
lull in the betting on the battle between
Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries today.
This is not strange, in view of the fact
Those who have followed Fitzsimmons'
record think he cannot lose. Commissions,
however, are arriving daily from out Of
town sports. In the West Jeffries seems
to have the call, but the amounts wagerei
on him are surprisingly small. Billy Ed
wards has received $500 to speculate any
way he sees fit. He picks Fitzsimmons to
win. Edwards cannot see why the adher-
ents of Fitzsimmons should be compelled
to give exorbitant odds. however.
At Corbett's cafe today Harry Blu ger
made a wager on JefTries of $500 TO 81 0
with a Western man. Bulger wants to get
down $500 more at the same figures. Leo
Teller, manager of Weber e. Fields, has
$500 more with which to back Fitzsim-
mons Joe Vendig wants to bet $1,000 on
Fitzsimmons, but will only give $10O to
$50. Milton Roblee found a taker for S1e0
today on Fitzsimmons. Roblee says he
was forced to give 2 to l. a bst of $50 to
$1,000 was recorded at the Hotel Mar bor-
ough today. a man named Kline, OF Fris-
co, took the short end.
Tickets for the mill will not be or sale
until next Wednesday. The talk that the
affair will be stepped when it gets trifle
warm is not disturbing the promoters OF
the mill. 1t is quite likely that the club
may hold a two-day carnival and bring
some good boxers together.

Paret played in excellent form, and the
result was surprising tosthe tennis experts,
who considered his chances for winning eX-

well up among the tennis cracks for this
year. Paret ranks eighteenth among the
tennis players of the United States. VIII e
Davidson is classed as sixteenth. There
was on that's account oohsiderabia rivalry
between the two yesterday. Each man did

Piusburg. May 20.-Dinneen's exec lent
rdtching enabled the Senators to defeat
the Pirates this afternoon. Dinneen
opened badly. and during the first inning
the indications pointed to an easy victory
for Donovans men. When the opening
chapter had been closed. and it was found
that the Pirates had pTo.itei by Dinneen'5
wildness to the extent of two runs, the
Senatorial twirler pulled himself together
and pitched an excellent game. He IVES
wild at times, and on two or three occa-
sions dark and ominous clouds seemed 10
settle over the Wagner wigwam, but just
as often did Dinneen settle down TO busi-
ness and blast the hopes of the home play
ers and their loyal rooiers in the grand
stand.
Padden and Bonner, by making quick
plays, assisted Dinneen out of several
ticklish holes. The game was won in the
second inning when the visitors made
merry with the delivery of Prof Samuel
Lever. They swatted the ball to many
parts of the field, FIVE singles and one dol
BILE being placed TO their credit, all of
which netted them five robust runs. This
lead put life and vigor into the Senators,
and they went to work to maintain the
upper hold. How well they succeeded the
score will show.
After The second round Lever settled
down and pitched grand game, the Sena-
tors getting but four more hits in the sub
sequent seven innings. Those four hits
coupled with some glaring errors on the
part Of the Pirates, enabled the Wagnerian
troupe 10 add two more runs 10 their side
OF the score sheet.
Pittsburg tried hard to square accounts
toward the close of the contest, but Din
neen saw them first and put icicies on
their fresh young hopes. The work of the
entire Washington team was good, the fast
work Of Bonner and Padden Just when the
Pirates looked like winners being charm

practicable. No player will be allowed TO
participate unless uniformed, and bicker-
ings with the umpire will be promptly

each other to win games, will all
work in harmony for the leagues
interest. Disputes over players, if any
arise, and all questions involving an
Interpretation of the constitution will be
