4 COSTLY RACE TRACK.
New Workers to Build . Park to Cost
 @4,NOO,OOO.

E
 NEW YORK, March 30.--tlround has just been broken for the magnificent new race track of the Westchester Rac- ing association at Belmont park, as it Is to be called, in Nassau county, just over the line from Queens, on the Ja- maica plank road, between Jamaica and Hampstead. There for the next two years about 2,00O workmen of many kinds will be employed in the building of what doubtless will be the. most magnificent establishment devot- ed to high class turf sport in this or any other country.
 The plans involve an expenditure of about $4,500, GOO between now and the opening of the season in 1905, at which time August Belmont and his friends hope to enjoy racing under conditions that will be as nearly ideal from physical point of view as money will provide.
 There will be six distinct tracks, and the park will cover 666 acres. This area is larger than Prospect park and pretty nearly as large as Central park.

WON A HEAT EACH.

New York, March 3O.--When owners and friends differ as to the merits of and friends differ as to the speed mer- its of favorite horses there is only one orthodox way to settle the difficulty, and that is to meet and trot 1t out. This is what the friends of the two Texas trotters, Blondie, 2:13M, and Senator Mills did at the Speedway yesterday. Both horses were bred at the same farm and there long has been strong strife as to which was the faster. In the final test matters were left just as before, as each horse won one heat by a margin so narrow that the least mis. take would have turned victory into defeat

WILLIE KEELER's REPUTATION


 Atlanta, Ga, March 30.--Willie Keel CT is undergoing some of the penalties of greatness. The crowds at the games here between the New York Americans and the local team expect things from the star that never hap pen to any ball player. When 3Keeler steps to the plate there is a hush in grandstand and bleachers, and every one gets a new focus of vision. If Willie does not smash the first ball pitched over the fence there Is a sigh of disappointment.
 '.I don't see where he comes in to get $10,O00 year." muttered one Geor- gia cracker to his sweetheart when Keeler allowed two pitched balls to go by the other day.
 "But he's so little,' mildly expostu- lated the sweetheart " and the pitcher Is so big"
 That part of 1t was true enough. Hale was in the box for Atlanta and Keeler easily could have walked erect between the giants legs. At that particular time at bat Keeler had two strikes called on him, and there were two men on the bases. There was a weak spot in the infield between short and third, and Keeler. notwithstand- ing the strikes, was trying to place the ball. Another batter would have been satisfied with hitting it anywhere, but not so with Keeler. The little wonder finally got ball to his liking and slammed it through the hole but that kind of stick work is too rich for Atlanta fans.
 Kee1er was not always a S10,ooo fan. and like most ball players, he once was a pitcher.
 "I pitched one game for the Norwailk club in the Connecticut State league" said Keeler to the bunch in the hofel corridor yesterday. "I was in the New Jersey league at the time and they tried me out in Norwalk. I only pitched that one game. though. for af ter 1t was over I got my release, and lit was not handed to me on gold plate. either"
 "When was that?' asked Jack O'Connor.
 .sLet me see" replied the little out fielder, q think it was in 'S9.''
 "I guess you played ball before was born,' said O'Connor, as he walk ed away

JEFFRIEs's CONDITION.

Milwaukee. March 30.--''Jeffries is physical wreck" said Tommy Ryan be- fore he left for Chicago. If Corbett gets in the ring with him Corbett will win sure, but I doubt very much if Jeffries ever fights again. He has gone the way of a lot of other good fighters snd excesses have finished him. He is all in now and cannot recover"

THE PUGILISTS.
Sports Eager For the Big Bat
 tie of Little Fellows.
,ddie Graney Has Been Chosen to Referee in Place of Harry Corbett Who Declined-Tommy Ryan Says Jeffries is Physical Wreck.

San Francisco. March 3O.-At a meeting last night at Harry Corbett's representatives, of both Terry McGovern and Young Corbett met and selected Eddie Graney of San Francisco to referee next Tuesday nights fight Graney is very well known to all sports and is considered competent and trust worthy. His selection puts an end to all reports of the fight being fixed,
 McGovern took things easy yester- day, as it was rainy and disagreeable. He has cut his sparring out, as he is afraid of hurting his hands. He is in the pink of condition and told his tie>s- CT that he felt stronger and quicker than at any time since he fought Ped lar Palmer. Terry's trainer says that Terry weighs 124h pounds and that he could reduce to 120 pounds If it was de- manded. From appearances he will be one pound or so under weight.
 Corbetts trainers are confident that they will have the Denver boy down to weight by tonight, but many good judges do not share their confidence, as Corbett yesterday weighed 130 pounds. 1t is feared that he will have to sweat of a couple of pounds on the last day and thereby weaken himself Corbett yesterday spent most of his time on road, running In heavy rain. His fail- ure to get down to weight is due main- ly to his craving for water. He drinks great deal and this keeps him from losing weight. Yesterday he was cut off from water and none will be allow ed him except at meals until the fight is over.

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
BASKET BALL
AS the Writer fo- the Hartford Courant
 Saw Waterbury Play It.

Harry Morrison, who will manage
 the professional basket ball team in this
 clty, took a team of players who will
 De candidates for the professional team
 to New Britain on Saturday night.
 The Waterburians were badly defeated
 by the score of 30 to 15. The Water
 bury L&ayers were Reeves, Danaher, J..
 Dews. Waterworth, Mulligan and Peter Lawlor. The New Britain cor
 respondent of the Hartford Courant speaks thus of the game:
 The Waterbury basket ball team met the local team on Saturday night at
 the Casino. When the game started
 1t was evident that the Waterbury peo-
 pie had not heard about the local in Junction against prize fights. 1t was
 equally evident that some of the Wa terbury team believed that the way to play basket ball was to throw in lit tie boxing, some prize fighting and
 much football, Before the game start
 ed the police on guard were warned to
 look out for trouble. It came very
 rapidly. Captain Waterworth of the Waterbury team struck one of the New Britain team. More blows followed and a general fight was threatened. A truce was patched up and things might have gone along fairly we'll if spec tator had not given Waterworth a clout on the jaw when he happened to come in reach This started the trou- ble all over again. The referee or
 dered Waterworth out of the game. He refused to go and went into one
 corner with crowd of players follow ing him. Special Policeman Mount was called into the field and Water
 worth at first refused to obey him. Finally the player was persuaded to get out of the game. Some of the spectators were so disgusted that they left before the game was over. The New Britain team gave the Waterbury
 contingent an awful drubbing, the
 score being 39 to Il. The preliminary game between the Seneca and Alpine teams of the city league was close and well played, the score being Alpine 6, Senecas 5. The trouble Saturday night was of a kind to do injury to the game here The trough house" which has happened at the games always seems to come when some inferior team finds that 1t is losing. There are many peo-
 pie who enjoy a good game here and some of the prominent people of the city are encouraging the sport finan- cially, but no person will encourage the fights and rough work. There Is a feeling that the next time such work occurs the local management should stop the game and let the outside team
 pay it's own way back to the place it
 came from.
 The basket ball games played by the '. NJ. c. A. league teams on Saturday might were among the closest and most
 exciting Of the season. The Nutmegs
 defeated the Stars by a score of 26 to
 25. The Stars claim that mistake of
 two points was made by the scorer and
 that caused the loss of the game to
 them The game may be played over.

sued by section Director Murdoch,
stationed at Galveston, FOR the week
ending Wednesday:
Weather Conditions-G Good show
ers fell over the west portion on the
18th and 10th, but there was a gem
eral absence of precipitation over
the eastern half OF the State. A de-
cided drop in temperature occurred
| on the 10th, and the weather remain
ed cool the rest of the week, al
though there was a gradual recovery
after the 18th. Light frost occurred
in parts of Cooke, Erath, Parker,
Navarro, and Hopkins Counties on
the morning of the 18th, but did no
damage.
Cotton-The showers of the first
of the week generally relieved the
droutb in the west portion, but this
condition continues over the rest of
the cotton belt, being the most Sc
we're in the north portion. Some
shedding occurred, and very few
forms are being put on by heplants,
In the southwest, central and east
ers portions boil weevils continue to
destroy practically all new forms
which appear. In parts of Hunt,
Van Zandt, Smith, Cass, Waller and
Brazoria Counties army or leaf
worms are destroying much OF the
late cotton. Rust is reported from
few northeast counties and plants
are dying In parts of Bell, McLon-
nan and Montgomery Counties.
The hollis have opened nicely and
rapid progress made in picking, the
weather being exceptionally favora-
bic for this work. Reports from all
sections indicate that the yield will
be considerably below the average
but the southwest, central and east

Little news of a reliable nature can

being that while many cases of fever
exist. they are all malignant fever. "
and not yellow jack Despite this de-
NAL by the authorities the fact that
yellow fever exists in both Laredos
may be considered as proof POSITIVE
that the fever has gained a f0othold

The situation in Nuevo Laredo re-
mains unchanged. While many cases
of fever exist there have been no
deaths reported within the past few
days. DR. Mariana Trevino. a yellow
fever expert from TampiCo. Is on the
ground. and is conducting an investi-
