Boxing in Baltimore.

The Knickerbocker Athletic Club gave q
good exhibition OF sparring at the Germanta
Maenrferchor Theater, Baltimore, last night
before an enthusiastic crowd. including
many Washingtonians. The star bout was
between Joe Tipman. the Baltimore crack,
and Jack Lowery OF Brooklyn, y. y. Il
was fine exhibition of pluck. skill and en-
durance. 1t went the limit Of twenty rounds
and was declared draw, both men being
on their feet Tipman was the taller. big
ger and had the longer reach, but Lowery
was game and clever.
The contest was succession Of leads and
clinches, and the referee was busy break
ing the pair. Though Tipman was the
stronger at the finish, Lowery stu had good
punches left. Before the fight Sam Solomon
of this city deposited a forfeit OF 500 to
bind a match with Tipman for Kid Sullivan
of Washington.
Mr. solomon has been trying for months
to get Tipman to meet sullivan at
lbs pounds, and has come to Baltimore eV-
cry time Tipman fought i'm an effort to get
the pair matched. Last night Capt. Jubb
Tipman's manager. agreed to let his man
fight Sullivan within three weeks. 1t should
prove a good battle.

Brooklyn Prosecutes Mcclure.

Another legal conflict between the two
in the Philadelphia courts. Yesterday John
I. Rogers, as counsel for the Brooklyn Ma
tional League Base Ball Club flied bill
in equity against James T. Mcclure, CATCH
er of the Detroit American League team. to
enjoin him from playing with any club but
the complaining organization during the
season of 1902
Mcclure, it Is declared, signed with the
Brooklyn Club for the present season on
September % last, but is now playing with
the Detroit team. which opened a series of
games with the Athletic Club yesterday.
Additional interest attaches to this case
because tribunal other than common pleas
court, No. 5, which decided the Lajoie-
Fraser-Bernhard controversy. will pass
upon Its merits. The lottery wheel in the
Prothonotary's Office assigned the new case
against Mcclure to common pleas court,
No. l, which consists Of President Judge
Biddle and Associate Judges Breezy and
BETTER. Next Monday has been fixed for
the hearing on the melton for a preliminary
injunction.
Since MeTufre's desertion Of the BROOKLYN
Base Ball Club 1t Is complained that the
teams playing ability has deteriorated and
the club has suffered a financial loss by
reason OF the shrinkage in patronage.
Therefore, 1t is commended, the complainant
Is entitled to immediate equitable redress,
as the alleged wrongs threaten to continue
unless the court steps in and enjoins the
continuance of the violation of the con-
tract.

LOOKING AHEAD.
Moore and Bradley for Cincinnati Next
Season.
incinnati ENQUIRER.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t now seems as though Manager Ban
crofts trip to Cleveland was exceedingly
fruitful, although stated to the contrary ar
the time. Moore and Bradley. two of the
Cleveland stars have signed with the Gin
cinnati club for next season. They refused
to jump their. contracts this year, but it is
assured that they will be seen wearing the
red stockings at League Park next spring
1t was known fact that Manager Bancroft
had gone TO Cleveland the early part of this
week, and that he had negotiated with
Moore and Bradley. He stated when he
came back that he had not tried TO induce
them to jump their contracts. This is all
very true, but it was learned from another
source that he had been very successful as
far as his Cleveland trip was concerned
and, therefore, it goes without saying that
Moore and Bradley, whom he talked with
viii be with the Reds next season. Moore
Is a pitcher. and probably one of the best
the American League can boast of. Brad
ley is the star third baseman of that leag
and man that has been sought after ever
since he jumped the Chicago Nationals for
Cleveland. The price stipulated for these
men cannot be learned. but it is evident
that the Cincinnati club officials realize
that something must be done, and. as they
started too late to secure a good team this
year. they have proffted by the example
and are starting Vow to get world heater
for the season of~1903.

LATEST AVERAGES.
Capt Delehanty Now Leading Ameri-
can League .Batters.

Ed Delehanty has passed Jimmy Collins
for the temporary leadership in the Ameri-
can League, according to unofficial aver
ages including games up to last Thursday
In the National League Delehanty was
always in the race, and he promises to be a
rival of Jesse Burketts in the American.
The latter as yet, has not struck his
proper gait, and is travelling at present well
down in the 200 class. None of the Browns
are doing business at 300 clip. Most Of
the heavy hitters are eastern men, few of
the players on the four western teams do
ing much aside from the tail end CIeve-
lands. Wallace leads the Browns with the
peaked average of .273 John Anderson has
been improving and is now doing better
than Burkett. Barry Mccormick is coming
up steadily. The Browns are running alb
solutely last as team of batters, and the
long hits are not arriving in any great
quantities. The eX-Browne Davy Jones
is the only st. Louis man who figures prom
lnently as purloiner of bases.

REcoRD-BREAK1NG FLIGHT
Local Fanciers Establish a New Mark
for the Four-Hundred-Mil Race.

What proved to be the speedisst race that
has ever been flown by the Washington
district from its 4OO-mile station took place
Sunday from Kiugstree. s. c. Two hundred
birds from nineteen lofts were shipped by
the race committee Thursday to be liber-
ated upon Geographic Instructions from
this city. Through the kindness of the
weather bureau authorities, whose valu-
able assistance Is always obtained in de-
termining the weather in the long-distance
races, it was found that Sunday promised
to be favorable for fast flying, whereupon
the liberator was telegraphed TO release in
the morning.
They were liberated by Mr. J. c. Dove
who wired: Birds liberated at 5:21; clear.
slight breeze from the SOUTH At nome a
stiff southerly wind blew all day, the clouds
which hung over the city in the morning
disappearing about an hour before the
first arrivals appeared, and the outcome
was the most successful race ever flown
from this distance. the first returns fiying
at the. rate OF over forty. miles an hour.
The following are the entries and average
speed per minute of the first return to
each loft:
James Flaherty. % entries. 1,254 yards:
A. c. Harmon. ID entries 1,251 yards: r. A.

The diploma winners were: James Fla

third; r. A. Hunt, fourth. and Hengesbach
& tombstone, fifth and sixth.
Mr.. Toy had the misfortune to have his
timer stop on him, otherwise he would have
been among the first.
Not only was the speed the greatest that
has been made by the Washington district
but never before have so many birds re-
turned on the day of liberation. fully 70
per cent having returned in time for record.
For day records Messrs. Hengesbach &
tombstone reported twenty-five birds; Mr..
Harmon, eight; Mr.. Peabody, four, and Mr..
Dismer five.
The next race will take place from Har-
deevhle, s. c., June Z, which will terminate
the series of old-bird races. From the
outlook the Washington district is in an
excellent position to obtain the average
speed diploma given by the national FEEDER
alton for the best speed collectively from
all races from 100 to 500 miles.

Contend Lowers Track Record for a

Contend, with ninety-nne pounds on his
back, ran a mile and a furiong in 1852 yes

American League Teams Standing
National League Teams Standing.

The Clevelands made their first appear
ance of the season at American League
Park yesterday afternoon, and in we'll
played and interesting contest the senators
colors were lowered by the score Of u to 3.
Pitcher Al. Orth made a bad start the
Spiders getting five hits and four runs IN
the first inning and this big handicap could
not be overcome. But instead an interest
ing finish was put up by the Senators that
kept all the spectators keyed up to a hlgh
state of excitement for a few minutes, ana
all that was needed to round out the glori-
fication was the winning run that never
came.
Pitcher Wright, who has been shown over
the city for the past four days, being here
as a result of possible court proceedings,
returned local hospitality by twirling ex-
ceptionally good ball for seven innings, but
four hits being made in that time. In the
eighth the Senators had a little luck, Ortiz
and Ryan getting the ball into safe terri
tory between the in and out fields, and VOL
verton hit cleanly over second. When the
last man had been retired three runs had
been made by the Senators. and It looked
possible for the Loftustes to win out.
In the ninth the bombardment was renew
ed. although the hits were of the lucky or
der. and Captain Bonner showed his good
judgment by benching Wright and suOsti-
tuting Earl Moore. When the latter went
to the rubber there were two on bases and
one out, and Mr.. Moore promptly filled up
all the corners by soaking Ryan with the
ball. With Wolverton and Delehanty COM

striking out the first named, and the mighty

Game by Old Eli.

tame " 0ld ELI.
The Georgetown team played ball at New
Haven, Conn.,, yesterday with the sons OF
Old Ell, and for the second time this season
the blue and gray bowed before the su-
periority Of the Yale aggregation, the score
being 9 to when the game was stopped at
the end of the sixth inning on account OF
rain.
Blewitt and Cox did the twirling for
Georgetown, and both were hit hard, while
McKelvey, who served them up for Yale,
was unusually effective. The Georgetown
lads also fielded poorly The absence OF
Lew Drill is being felt by the Georgetowns,
as Apperous Is beginning to show the eff
fects of overwork. Then again the continue
Gus work of the blue and gray has slowed
up the team, the infield working with little
speed yesterday.
Yale put up strong game, both at the
bat and in the field. and clearly outplayed
the Georgetowns from every angle.

TEAM BATTING.
LONG HITS BY CLUBS.
LAJOIE STARTS WEST.
Enjoined Player Left Philadelphia for
Cleveland Last Night.

special from Philadelphia says that
Lajoie and Bernhard, the two entoined ball
players left on the II 30 train from Broad
street station in that city last night for
Cleveland. This sets at rest all the rumors
that have been floating around as to where
the two men would play this season. The
fact that the men did not join the Cleve-
land team yesterday at Washington led
many to believe that the rumor was I'M
founded. but now the die is cast and the
men have departed for their new field in
direct disobedience to the orders Of the SUI
preme court of Pennsylvania.
Notwithstanding the almost positive as
sertions that Lajoie and Bernhard would
join the Cleveland team in Washington and
play in yesterdays game against the Sen
ators, the players remained In Philadelphia
and witnessed the game at Columbia Ball
Park.
This absolutely upset the calculations Of
the knowing ones and gives rise to many
sensational rumors. one OF which was that
Lajoie had thought the matter over and
did not care to place himself in defiance of
the supreme courts decision at cost
which would prove disastrous to his future
Another rumor which gained much ground
was that the great second baseman had
hopes that Colonel Rogers would agree to
pay him what he asked for at the confer
ence In the Fidelity building last Thursday
1t was also said that Lajoie had received
word from Colonel Rogers, who wrote that
guarantees and agreements would not save
him from imprisonment II he persisted In
defying the court. and the big fellow was
requested to call upon the colonel and talk
the matter over.
President Ban Johnson arrived In Phila-
deiphia from Atlantic City early yesterday
morning. and registered at the Continental
Hotel. but could not be seen, as he kept
himself out of the reach of interviewefs,
but 1t was Learned that he would go west
