JENNINGS SHOWED
SOME FINE SPORT

Washington, April 11.-This was one
of the most interesting days of the
Bennings spring meeting, and an i'm
mense throng was at the track. Two
favorites and four heavily-played sec
ond choices won.
The track was fairly good, but by no
means fast. The interest centered in
the jumping races and the hurdle race
at one and quarters miles. and
the Southern steeplechase at two miles.
In the first, Gibson Light. the favorite
with Mara up, fell at the last jump,
but neither jockey nor horse was Sc
riously hurt. Ben Battle took the race,
with Alma Girl a close second.
In the steeplechase. Joe Letter, with
Dion Kerr in the saddle, was made the
favorite. In a driving finish, Charles
O'Malley beat out joe Letter, but was
disqualified for fouling the latter in
the stretch. Letter was awarded first
money. Summaries:

sponded with. The S. A. c.. has writ
ten for either Goodman or Briggs, who
fought a fast ten round draw before
the Health and Physical Culture Club
of Boston a few days ago to come
here to meet Feltz. Both of them are
crack men of their class and would
give the invincible Tommy something
to do.
Johnny Burns, the ex-featherweight
champion of the Westside A. c. of New
York and a cracking good man looks
good to the management of the local
club for a match with Lenny and the
clubs representive in New York will
try to make the match. Burns has
and has just re-entered the ring after
a long rest.
The local club is also after George
Holiday to match him with FeltZ or
one of the good men of that class.
Holiday met Feltz two years ago
and lost to him. He is now matched
to meet Eddie Hayes in Schenectady
Monday night. II he defeats Hayes

him, preferably with Feltz as Holiday

ATHLETIC CLUBS
COMING BOUTS
Lots of Good Men in View for Matches to Follow
Jeffords- Himmler Bout

There are many good matches in
view to put on before the Savannah
Athletic Club within this and next
month. The next match will be on
the night of the 22nd and another will
follow on the 10Th. Then during the
next month a match will probably be
put on each week. Arrangements to
carry out the programme are now be-
ing made.
1t has not been definitely decided
just who will go for the Eagles bene-
fit on the night of the 22nd. When it
was found that man would not be
secured for Feltz for that date move
was made to rematch Ryan and Mil
Ter. Ryan would not come to the
terms of the club, and another man
to box Miller is being looked for. Tom
Broderick has not been heard from
since he was wired Friday. If Brod-
erick can not be had Barrett will
probably be sent for. The latter is
ready to come on short notice.
The Himmler and Jeffords match is
all arranged, and it only remains now
for the men to come here and put
on their finishing work for the bout.
Both are now in good condition. They
will probably be on the ground in a
few days.

FELL AT THE JUMP
In MEMPHIS EVENT

Memphis, April 1.-THE second week
of racing at Montgomery Park was
concluded to-day with six well-flled
events.
The stake event was the Cotton stee-
plechase over the full course, and elev-
en- cross-country candidates faced the
starter. The race resulted in an easy
victory for Tartar, an outsider in the
betting, while Daryl finished second, a
length ahead of Crest. Lord Radnor
stumbled over the sixth jump and
threw his rider. Heider, heavily to
the ground. The jockey was badly
shaken up, and was carried from the
field on stretcher At the last
jump George w. jenkins turned
somersault, throwing his rider several
feet through the air. Both horse and
jockey received painful, but not Sc
rious, injuries. Summaries:

TOMMY FOSTERS DOINGS
AS TOLD BY HIS OWNER
Scene at the Track After First Race Was Great
and Antics Too Funny for Description

Alex P. Doyle returned from Ben
nings yesterday radiant in smiles. He
confirms the report that Foster has
been sold, and for a good price. E.
K. Wheeler, chairman of the Board
of Stewards of the New York Jockey
club, was the purchaser. In the trade
Alex Doyle and J. r. Hand, the own
ers. acquired six yearlings which Mr..
DOYLE will go to Mr.. Wheelers farm
at Bowling Green, Kentucky, some
time this summer and pick from the
many colts there. He has his choice
hiring the colts to Savannah and put
them in condition for next season. By
then they will be eligible to the 2-year-
old class.
Fosters work on the track was
record breaking Mr.. Doyle reports. In
his last race he ran the seven furlongs
IN 1.27 2-5, while the track was con-
ceded by all horsemen at the meet to
he at least two seconds slow. The
track record for that distance Is 1.26.
HAD the lTdCh DCCIl III the
that it was when the record run was
made a new record would have been
registered. Foster ran to the quarter
in that race in 2S seconds, to the
one minute, to the three quarters in
1885, and to the finish in 1.27 rs. That
was record time all the way around
the track The track record for 70
of a. mile for instance is 1.01 is, and
Foster, as stated, passed that in one
minute.
Tells Humorous Stories.
Fosters Savannah owner tells many
interesting and humorous stories of
the first race of the horse at the
track, and the money bet upon him.
Foster is a lazy and foxy animal. He
is of the kind known to horsemen as
bad worker; in other words he will
not run in a workout, nor try to do
his best unless in a. race. Consequent
ly when he was put on the track pre-
vious to the first race for work and
a little breezing out he showed up no
striking form, and no attention was
paid to him, Notwithstanding the fact
that he was ready to race as soon
as he struck Bennings, having left
here in prime form and suffered no
set back in the trip. So when the bet
ting was chalked up, 200 to l was the
first price laid against him by the
books. Nothing was said and only a
few of those who were stabling in
the same barn with Foster, and a few
friends of the owners, knew the horses
chances.
These went un and laid their small
bets, the owners of the horse going
it stronger, and were able to walk
up to the bookmakers with a pay
me- hand when the race was over. TIC
say the "bookies" were surprised would
be expressing it mildly and the re-
ports which came from the track after
wards are familiar to newspaper read
ers. Mr.: Doyle won a fat wad OF
money, as did Mr.. Hand. but they are
not saying how much. Mr.. Doyle ad-
mits, however. that he stood to win
$4,000 if Foster had won his second
race, which the horse lost he thinks
because of the poor ride Redfern gave
him. Burns was secured for the next
mount with the good results known
to the followers of the events at Ben
nings. The last ride was a source OF
much satisfaction to Tommy Burns
too, for he and Redfern are hot rivals

SOLDIERS WON FROM
Y. M. C. A. BALL TEAM.
Fort Screven Team Too Much For
Associations Players.

Fort Screven Team Too Much For
Association Players.
A fair game of ball was played yes
terday afternoon at the Bolton Street
Park between the teams Of Fort Screw
en- and the Y. M. c. A. The soldier
boys quickly showed the evidence OF
their daily practice work, and had the
Y. M. c.. A. team at a disadvantage
from the start. They seemed to have
no trouble in finding the ball, and kept
the outfield busy for most of the time.
1t was largely on account of the excel
lent field work done by the Y. NJ. G. A.
that the score was kept down to the
figures in the records. The audience
had a good time, for it was far from
being the usual battle of the batteries,
and there were men running about a
good deal of the time.
The soldiers had things pretty much
their own way, as is shown by the
score of IL to 3. They had been hard
at work for several weeks and played
we'll together. The Y. NJ. C. A. team
has had but little chance yet for prac-
tlce, and the team as made up was
not even the same as expected. After
the first inning Riley was changed
with Stark, and caught until about the
sixth inning, when his hand was badly
hurt and he left the game. Robinson
went into the pitchers box then and
Stark returned to catch.
Werner of the Fort Screven team
was credited at the end of the game
with fourteen strick-outs, and Wagnon,
Friend, Werner and Blackmoni had
each credit for a two-base hit The
soldiers also had nine men left on
bases. and had marked UP stolen
bases, two for Burk, one each for
Crosley and Blackmon.
The Y. NJ. G. A. summary showed
that Stark struck out two; left on
bases, four, and stolen bases, Stark. 8:
