AMATEUR HARNESS RACING.
New System Will Be Introduced in

New System Will Be Introduced in
 Empire City Park.
 New York, April 17.-Under the ad. ministrGtion of Charles o. Lloyd, who succeeds 0. K. G. Billings as president of the New York Driving club, new system of amateur harness racing is to be introduced this year at Empire City park. It is proposed to classify the horses at the beginning of the sea- son without reference to their public records, dividing them into twelve groups, or classes, according to their estimated speed capacity Whenever a horse wins a race in the class in which he starts he will go on to the next faster class, and on winning there will again move up to a still faster class. until he reaches the open, or championship, class, if he is capable of doing so. According to this plan a horse will remain in a class until he has won race in that class, but he cannot win twice in the same class. It is believed that the new sJrstem will operate to improve the sport and force every horse into the class in which he belongs.

 New Orleans. April 17.-The Peli- ans yesterday bowed the big New Eorkers out of this old burg by defeat ng them by score of 4 to 1. It was he last exhibition game here, and tgain the local umpire made good to he crowd by wierd decisions.
 A tall youth named Adams, who ,itches for the New Orleans team, handled the indicator until the fourth inning, when even the patient Griffith lould stand him no longer and insisted Tn his retirement. Howell of the High anders then passed Judgment on the days, and thre was no kick coming rom either side. If anything Howell rave the other fellows the better of all lose decisions.
 It was in the second inning that the Iamage was done. Sheehan popped ID foul fly which fell in GanzelTs nitt. Campau hit safely O.

 lions Are at Stake.
 NEW YORK, April 17.-Former Dis trict Attorney Ph1lb1n's full report con cerning the Metropolitan Street Rail- way company, which he made to the two stockholders who retained him to investigate its affairs, was made public late yesterday. 1t contains many sen sational statements regarding the af- fairs of that corporation.
 The report, itsis said, embodies state ments which w. N. aAmory expects to bring out at further sessions of the Amory- Vreeland case. Hitherto 1t was thought that the only stockholder who had retained MT. Philbin to make the investigation was Henry J.. Broker, but it was said that another stock holder had employed Mr. Philbin for the same purposes. MT. Philbin de- clined to disclose the name of his oth- CT client.
 "It is clear when the company's own statements are analysed that the h. terurban lease was calculated to pro vide and has actually provided many millions of dollars in excess of the hon est requirements of the Metropolitan companyssss
 Mr. Philbinss report begins by charg- ing that in 1S9S 1900 and 1901 the com pany informed the commission it had expended for construction and equip ment millions of dollars more than the balance sheets of that period show was spent. The difference was $10,057,- S49O0.
 Further, Mir. Philbin states, there were incorrect reports of disburse- ments, particularly with regard to loans and investments, and the differ ences in these items, as shown in re- ports and balance sheets, aggregated millions. It is impossible, says the re- port, to account for the apparent dis crepancy of $3OoO,OOO where the re- port of 1901 reported S2,245, ,59s.78 as the amount due from lessor companies, and the item was carried forward in the next years report as balance due from lessor companies, June 30, 1901, $5, ,245, ,598. .7S.''
 The report brings out the claims made by. MT. Amory on the witness stand two days ago to the effect that the reports, showed the company to have charged several times for build l ing the Second avenue electric line.

Professor DWyer Fails to Throw Ben
 Hermann.

Bridgeport, April 17.-Ben Hermann won his wrestling match with Profes- sor M. J. Dwyer at Madison last night. The professor agreed to throw Her. mann six times at Graeco-Roman style in an hour. He did the trick five times but failed to land antoher fall.
 Dwyer was much heavier than Her mann and the latter kept on the de- fensive during the entire hour. Three times Dwyer became the under man, but Hermann refused to be tricked and refrained from attempting fall There were about 600 people present.
 Ten minutes passed with no fall and when the time was announced there were cheers from all parts of the hall. It was silent struggle for several minutes, Hermann trying several times to rise and get out of Dwyer's reach. Dwyer worked an arm lock and then a half Nelson, changing the arm lock to a bar, and with this threw Hermann in 16 minutes.
 The men took eight minutes to rest and get ready to continue. They sprint ed for an opening, then Hermann went to the mat on his hands and knees. Dwyer soon had Hermann on his side. A half Nelson kas broken after which another hold was secured. and Her mann went on his back in 1115 min utes.
 When they came back from their rest they were, applauded. After a sprinting match which lasted for a minute, the wrestlers went down with Hermann underneath. Dwyer studied the situ- ation carefully and then tried for a half Nelson, but this was broken. The tables were turned and Dwyer went underneath. Hermann, however, made no real attempt to throw him, but fool ed around until he was thrown com pletely over Dwyer's head Several holds were broken, but finally half Nelson with bar was secured and Her mann went over on his back in 13 min utes.
 The next fall was gained in two and one-half minutes on the same hold as in the previous ones.
 When the men appeared after nine minutes rest they were greeted with enthusiastic applause, and for several minutes there was fast and furious work. Dwyer again threw Hermann over his head in twinklikg of an eye but he landed, safely on hands and knees. He was on the defensive, re sisting Dwyer with every bit of nerve A half Nelson was again secured and Hermann went on his back in 13 min. utes and 20 seconds.
 A ten minutes rest was taken, after which they came to the mat again Business was rushed, as only few minutes remained. It was hot work and asst the time was called off by minutes the crowd cheered. Dwyel did not secure fall, and So failed tc win the match.
 Previous to the match the handicap match of William Cnaki and Arthur Gotthilf was held Cnaki agreed tt throw Gotthilf twice in 30 minutes He threw him in 21 minutes and 1( seconds but was unable to secure the second fall within the specified time

Favorites Beaten at Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 17.-The Tennessee Brewing Company stakes attracted field of nine to the barrier yesterday. Old Hutch and Foxy Kane were held as favorites at to i, while good odds could be had against the others. The two favorites were not prominent. Henry Bert was under the wire first by neck from Pericles. The fifth race, steeple chase over the short course, furnished one of the most exciting finishes of the meeting. Lord Radnor led the field over the jumps and, entering the stretch by three lengths, appeared to be winning handi- ly when Sauber, well backed, came with burst of, speed and won by a head.

 Again Beaten By the Umpire at
 New Orleans. .....
 The National league championship season was begun yesterday with two games in the west. 1t Was too wet and cold for the New Works and Brooklyns to play, and wet grounds prevented the game in Philadelphia between the home team and the Bos- hons. In St Louis Donovan's Cardin- als opened with victory over the Chicagos, winning by score of Z to 1. The hitting on both sides was light, In Cincinnati the home team was not so fortunate. This game was of especial interest, because first and second places in the league race are generally assigned to the Reds and the Pfttsburgs. The first clash between them was a decisive victory for the. Pittsburgs. The champions had no trouble in finding the ball with their bats and won by score of to l. George Davis, the only remaining ball player who has not reconciled himself to the peace conditions, Ire ported for duty to Manager McGraW at the Polo grounds yesterday. He was informed by McGraw that the latter could not accept his services under the terms of the peace agree. ment. It is expected that the next move in this case will be made il the courts. It Is the solitary disturb ance on the smooth surface of the baseball waters.

Boston, April 17.-Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight of California, de feated Sandy Ferguson of Chelsea i'll ten rounds at the Essex 40. last night. The feature of the bout was in the fact that Ferguson stayed the ten rounds, but he managed to do so only by stall ing and blocking in the early rounds.
 In the last three rounds the Chelsea
 man was aggressive and the pair had
 some hot mix-ups., In the second round
 Johnson knocked his opponent through the ropes. The colored man tried to force matters early in the bout, but
 Fergusonss tactics prevented him from
 landing many of his leads. In the sixth Johnson got home some hard
 lefts and rights, beating Ferguson to f the floor, but he could not land the de cisfNe punch. Tn the seventh Johnson used his left with effect and Ferguson clinched. The pair hung Non to each other, despite the efforts of the ref cree to separate them, until the gong struck. In the eighth Ferguson jabbed with his left several times, but his op- l. .ponent landed heavily with rights to | the jaw. Tn the ninth Ferguson took a great brace and in some hot ex-
 changes at close quarters honors were | about even. During the tenth the Cal | ifornia giant tried hard to finish his
 man, getting in some solid rights that
 staggered Ferguson. The latter
 clinched and just bef<re time was
 called jabbed with his left and crossed
 the right over hard.
