This is necessary. as in order to ia

ness of sorting them would be too
slow, tedious, and difficult.
Employees of this paper will not be
allowed TO compete.
In case any two prize-winning esti-
mates are a tic the one bearing the
earlier date will get the award.
No estimate will be received after
IL o'clock noon, April %.
All estimates must be mailed to the
Baseball Editor of The Times.
Great care should be taken to make
all figures very distinctly and to use
great care in writing the name and
address plainly. so as to save both
time and trouble in determining the
prize winners.

Have you estimated the number of
paid admissions to the first champion
ship game at American League Park?
If not you had better get into line,
for the estimates commenced to pour
in yesterday by the hundreds. As
priority will count in deciding. should
any two winning estimates be The
same, it behooves those who want to
see the games free to get into the
game and estimate early.
In recognition of the great interest
in baseball, The Morning Times will
give away few season tickets to the
ball games to the persons who esti-
mate nearest to the paid attendance
on the opening day.
On April 90 last year, when Wash
ington opened with Baltimore, the
paid admissions were nearly ten
thousand. This will aid the fans
somewhat in figuring the attendance
on the opening day this year.
The Morning Times offers the fol-
lowing prizes to those who are lucky
enough to estimate the nearest to
the number of paid admissions on
the day of the opening championship
game with Boston. The date of the
opening game is April 90. but if for
any cause the game should not be
played on that date the paid attend
ance of the first championship game
in this city will be taken as the basis
of deciding the winners.
To the person making the nearest esti-
mate to the actual number of paid ad-
missions at the American League ball
park, on the date of the opening game of

Will Have All the Calcium.

Over in Oysterdom they are expecting
great things from Manager McGraw and
his flock, while in the Hub Jimmy Col
lins is held in just as high esteem. AS
there are no other games in the American
League circuit. the eyes OF the whole base
ball world will be upon the game at Bos-
ton and it behooyes them both to do their
prettiest.
1t was the arrangement of this game
that changed the opening games of the
Senators. away from home. TO Philadel-
phia- They were scheduled to meet the
Boston aggregation on May 2, 3, 5, and s,
but Manager Lotus decided that this pre-
mature explosion OF baseball fireworks
would rather take the wind out of the SEN
atoriai sails and he registered kick with
President Johnson.
The latter at once saw the justice Of
the local management's complaint, and
accordingly changed the opening to Phil
adelphia. giving Baltimore the formal
opening at Boston. In consideration of
the fact that the Senators number among
their members such Quaker favorites as
Delehanty, Wolverton. and Orth. the
change is good thing for the local club
in more ways than one.

FIRST CHANCE FOR FITZ.
Jeffries Willing to Take Him On Before
Meeting Corbett.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-It is evident
that Bob Fitzsimmons will receive the
first chance against Jim Jeffries in pref
erence to Jim Corbett The sweeping def
of FitZsimmons which he issued on Thurs
day has spurred the champion to action.
for this morning telegram was received
from Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager, in
answer to one sent TO him the day be-
fore asking him who would get the pref
erence in the way of a battle.
Delaneys message read: "Jeffries will
gladly meet Fitzsimmons first and Corbett
as soon after as practicable-the sooner,
the better"
AS "Pompadour Jim" will not be ready
to box the boilermaker until next Sep
tember. Jeffries can easily tackle Fitzsim-
mons any time next month or early in

Delehanty then took his raps at the

PENTEC0ST WILL START.
Announcement Regarding Brooklyn Han
dicap Viewed as Blind.

LEXINGTON. KY, April 1S.-That John
e. Madden's announcement that Pentecost
would start only in the American Derby
was only blind to raise the odds on the
son OF Hastings for the Brooklyn Handi-
cap is now regarded as certain.
Madden told friend here that Pente-
cost would certainly win the big event
and duplicate the performance of Conroy
the only three -year-old that ever landed
first money in the race. He declared fur
ther that it was going to take $4,000 to
get Pentecost before the season was over.

GIDEON MAKES A KILLING
GIDEON MAKES A KILLING
An Ordinary Card Attracts Good Crowd
But One Favorite Rewards His Back
ers-Roysterer Wins His First Race
In Three Years.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The only bit of
excitement of q rather featureless days
sport at Aqueduct this afternoon occurred
In the third race. when Jockey Hayden,
the rider Of Taxman, was suspended for
the balance of the meeting for his ques-
tionabie ride on the horse and the en-
tries OF Taxman's owner were ordered re-
fused. Taxman was not the favorite, but
he looked to have a good chance on form.
and when the betting opened Taxman was
one OF the horses against which the books
laid a short price.
His odds steadily receded. however. and
after Hayden had enjoyed a comfortable
outing on the horse. while the other ami
mails in the race were striving to get to
the post in front, the stewards called the
boy into the stand.
Explanation Unsatisfactory.
His explanation was not satisfactory.
and he was suspended for the rest of the
meeting. The owner of the horse, r. F.
Myers. also came under the ban. and his
entries will be refused during the meet
ing. Myers is the owner of Filibuster,
whose erratic performances at the Ben
ming meeting caused considerable COM
ment- Last season at Fort Erie Taxman
won race at 100 to 1, and 1t is a singu-
lar thing that nearly all of Myers horses
run better when there are good odds
against them in the ring.
Geneseo opened favorite in this event,
but plunge on Iridescent caused the
formers odds to recede, while Iridescent
went to the post the favorite Geneseo
took the track at the start and led all
the way, with Iridescent running into the
place. Taxman managed to scrape in
third after all chance for him to win had
been lost.
Card an Ordinary One.
Fine weather drew a large crowd to
witness the sport. but the card was a
very ordinary one. The good attendance
indicates that the racing public is hungry
for racing. and will go to see almost any
thing in the way of a horse race.
David Gideon is said to have had made
a big winning on Florestan in the fourth
race. He waited till the horses were 60
ing to the post, when he sent in big
commission, and as Florestan won Gideon
took considerable money out of the ring.
He also landed good bet on Roystsrer
in the fifth event, and 1t is reported that
his winnings on the day amounted to sew
eral thousands of dollars. Roysterer Is
the horse that broke a stife two years
ago and was given up as useless. Today
he ran a good race and beat a fair field
of platers. 1t was his first victory in
three years.
Form Players Lose.
Form players had bad day, only one
favorite rewarding them. Dark Planet
was the one first choice that was good
enough to win. Two of the other races
were won by second choices. Geneseo TAX
ing the second. and Kilogram, at to l.
capturing the third. After that the races
were taken by comparatively long shots.
Starter Cassidy had good day at the
post, sending all the fields away in good
order and promptly.

the hospital
Hanrahan had only been fighting for
three years and in that time made quite a
reputation. He was not particularly
clever, but his terrific punching powers
and his ability TO take punishment made
him a hard man to beat. He had met and
defeated most OF the best middleweights in
America, among his victories being Jim

In 1889 Jim Mclaughlin was engaged to
ride Terra Gotta in a race at Nashville.
The owners of Terra Gotta also had San

the latter At the finish Santalene was
beaten by an outsider, and it appeared
! that Terra Gotta could have won easily.

and rider were reinstated-

have won easily, but Doggett deliberately
