NAVAL CADETS PLAY
RAGTIME BASEBALL
Harvard Swamps the Middies
by Large Score.
Featureless Game at Annapolis-Cadets
Completely 0utplayed by
Crimson.
Special to The Washington Times.)

ANNAPOLIS, MD, April 1.-THE Har-
ward baseball team did all kinds of things
to the naval cadets today. They waIloped
the leather gaily about the field and
scored many tailies; they took advantage
of their opponents errors and scored
more tallies; in fact, they added to their
accumulation of runs upon every possible
occasion. The final score was II to ).
The Middies were never once within
striking distance of winning the game
In the first inning Harvard opened by
securing three runs in succession. An
other tally was secured in the third, but
the great killing was made in the fifth,
when combination of safe ones by them
selves and errors by their opponents
contributed toward the gathering in by
the Crimson of eight of the ones that
count most.
In the following inning the collegians
again started to rough house the cadets.
and before they were retired five more
runs had beer chalked up to their credit
After the first inning the game was very
uninteresting, and the result practically
assured.
The Middies felded like lot OF farm
ers, and their poor exhibitions in the
field were sometimes pitiful to behold.
Wilcox. at short. accumulated total of
four errors. but he was closely pushed for
first honors by Ryden. who managed to
make three misplays at third.

HELD THE NATIONAL GAME.
Here IS an Opportunity to Use Your Brains and Get
Ticket for Nothing.
THE MORNING TIMES BASEBALL COUPON.

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. il 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 %, 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.

WILL CLARKE PLAY
WITH THE SENATORS?
The Question IS Now Up to
Manager Lotus.
It is Thought That the Difficulty Will
be Amicably Settled
at Once.

There were no new developments last
night in regard to the difference of
opinion between Manager Tom Lotus and
Catcher William J. Clarke The matter is
still in the air, although it is thought that
the difficulty Will be patched up and that
Clarke will report in the near future
Manager Lotus will in all probability
wire Clarke to report, and he has al
ready signified his willingness to comply.
Clarke's Side of the Case.
The following letter was received by The
Times yesterday:
Il see by an interview emanating from
Mr.. Lotus that | have been notified to
report April %. | wish to state that no
such notice has reached me. To the con-
trary, l have heard nothing from Mr.. Lof-
tus since his telegram OF last Tuesday
the contents of which ordered me to re-
port Wednesday or consider my engage
ment with the Washington club as off.
Il wrote Mr.. Lotus letter that even
ing, explaining why l was unable to re-
port that day but I also expressed will
ingness to report last Monday. AS his
telegram was practically a release, l nat

NEW TRACK SUPERINTENDENT.
Tom Strahan Will Likely be Appointed
at Benning.

1t is likely that the Benning race
course will be in charge of new super
intendent before the meeting begins next
fall. James Lee. the present superinten
dent OF the track, has not been in the
best of health for several months, and
the officials of the Washington Jockey
Club have been on the lookout for good
man to succeed Mr. Lee. 1t is probable
that the new superintendent will be Tom
StrahaD. who was for a long time in
charge Of the racecourse at Alexander
Island. Those who remember the excel
lent condition of the track at the island
know that the Washington Jockey Club
could not procure the services of a better
man thtl Mr.. Strahan. The record for
four and one-half furlongs made over the
course y Meadows stood for great
many years without being broken. and
there were many other very fast races
run over the course. It is to be hoped
that Mr.. Strahan will be placed in charge
of the track at once, in order that it
may be improved for the fall meeting.
Under Mr. StraLan's supervision there is
no question but that the track would be
greatly improved by the time the bugle
sounds in the fall.

FAT MEN WIN TWO.
Defeated the Italian Bowlers in the
First of Match Series.

The first set of series of games be
tween the Italian Bowling Club and the
Jolly Fat Mems Reserves was bowled last
night on the Golden Eagle Clubs alleys,
and the Fat Men threw their weight
against the pins and came away winners
of two games.
The rolling was only of the fair sort,
and only once did the score run over the
see mark, and that the Fat Mems last
game.
The game put up by the losing players
was creditable. considering that they had
little practice for team work. They
promise that the next set will show their
ability in the rolling line to better ad
vantage.
Eaton led with best average, 163. and
would have had at least lS0 but for his
second game-1 26-which made his string
sag in the middle. The pins broke badly
for him and a poor score resulted. Hoff-
man came next with l6l. and he twice
cleaned the board Of the SO combination.

No estimate will be received after

BOB FIFZSIMMONS NOW
REALIZES Ills MISTAKE
Wants to Meet Jim Jeffries
on the Pacific Coast.
Rumors Of Match Between the Cham
pion and Gentleman Jim Brings
Lanky One Out.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE announce
ment that Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries
have been practically matched to box
some time next September at Frisco has
evidently caused Bob Fitzsimmons to
change his mind about not meeting the
brawny boilermaker in this country.
Fitzsimmons now admits that after all
the State OF California is the only place
in America where a battle between the
pair can be held. and as result. this af-
ternoon he issued the following challenge
TO Jeffries for fight for the heavyweight
title Of the world:
Coast Only Place.
Il am convinced after careful investi-
gation, that the only State in the Union
where a glove contest can be held with
out interference on the part of the au-
thorities is California. or course. there
IS Nevada. but its isolation makes it out
OF the question. Kentucky has declared
her opposition to the event, and South
Carolina, through her Governor, with
whom / had communication by telegraph
expresses determination to oppose glove
contest with the militia.
by letter and telegraph I have care

report and bid to its bottom. This | did
FOR the furtherance of mutual interests
and TO give intelligent consideration to
every possible offer.
Il believe the East to be the best pos
sible place to pull off the contest. and
on that basis / worked but it is clearly
out of the question.
Now Willing to Fight.
Therefore, this brings the issue upon
the section you have always favored. and
inasmuch as it has been intimated in the
public press. and openly suggested by va
rious handlers, trainers, and hackers that
| am seeking 10 avoid meeting with you.
make this proposition:
Il will meet you anywhere in the State
of California, at any hour. on any date
you may select. and box you for the
championship OF the world. either in a
limited number o. rounds or a finish con

the best possible arrangements for ali
concerned. Select your club. name The
