LITTLE FIGHTERS.
Corbett and McGovern Working Hard
for Their Bout.

San Francisco sports are not little dis
turbed over the report from the Corbett
training camp that the Denver feather
weight is having some trouble taking off
weight He has been obliged to use arti-
fetal heat to induce perspiration while
working in the gymnasium. but despite
that the champion is sanguine that he will
be at 127 pounds on Monday at the hour
at which the men are to weigh in.
There is an impression going the rounds
that Corbett is not a willing worker, but
one visit to the gymnasium or a trip with
him on the road diSpels this Illusion, as
the little champion has his own methods Of
training and carries them out faithfully
fresh air and is firm believer in outdoor
work to strengthen the lung capacity and
to make him strong of limb.
He says that he will be below 127 pounds
tomorrow in accordance with his plans, and
will take things easy on Monday and Tues
day. This is corroborated by Harry Tut
hill. his chief adviser and trainer, who says
1.-THE Kid will justify the confidence which
his friends have placed in him.
McGovern liz below the weight and Is fol-
lowing different course from the cham
pion, being eager to build up on the last
two days preceding the contest. The Brook
Ignite appears to be stronger than he was
early in the week. and the worried look on
his face has disappeared. He says that he
is in perfect condition and that the contest
will be hard. fast one and that he Is con-
fident Of winning.
Harry Corbett. who was the mutual
choice Of the managers Of Corbett and Nc
Govern to act as referee. has declined to
serve.

It looks right hard on Pillsbury that he

the two rounds played each eight games

rasch and Sohlecter three and one-half, so
that 1t was down among the lesser lights
that the American champion lost his chance
to win out.

and a well known player, nearly up to the
leaders. died a short time back. He was a
man whose kindness of manner and hui

GEORGETOWN GAMES.
Lafayette, Brown and Syracuse Play
Here Next Week

Here Next Week.
The Georgetown University Base Ball
Club starts its college campaign Monday
afternoon. The two games with the Wash
ingtons have shown Coach Bradley and
Capt. Apperious the faults and shortcom-
ings of the youngsters and every effort has
been made to remedy them In time to give
the strong northern teams the usual good
games. The first game will be with La
fayette Monday afternoon. The local boys
are exceedingly anxious to win this game
to make up for the defeat administered by
the Lafayette boys last fall on the gridiron.
The foot ball score was % to O. but the
Blue and Gray boys determined that
Mondays game shall be something of the
same sort with the big side of the score In
favor of Georgetown.
Wednesday new team comes to WASH
ington to meet the college boys. Brown
University has not been in this city for
years and with the splendid team they have
this year they think their visit will be one
of success. The last time the Georgetown
boys played the Providence men was Deco
ration day some two seasons ago. The
Brown players won the game 2 to O..
Georgetown's present captain. Sam APP
perious, was in a way responsible for one Of
the Providence runs SO the game next
Wednesday will be well fought as Appe-
rious says he will have his men do their best
to wipe out the old stain made by the Rhode
Islanders at the last game. The men from
the New England university always have a
team good enough to make the two big
teams Of Yale and Harvard play their best
before the final score Is announced. The
Georgetown boys play them twice this sea-
son, here Wednesday and at Providence on

however. and the play today may bring
about startling changes in the situation.
Play started yesterday morning at 10
o'clock. with the American players seated
in the Boston A. &C. gymnasium and the
Oxford-C Cambridge sextet at the Criterion
restaurant, PicaMlly Circus, London. The
two teams were paired off in the order Of
their supposed strength as follows:
No. 1. T. Rice Harvard, agt. H. A. Webb
Cambridge.
No. 2. F. H: sewalf, Columbia. agt. H.
Bateman, Cambridge.
z No. 3. J. F. Sawin, Yale, agt. H. F. Da-

No. 5. H. A. Keeler. Columbia, agt. T. H.
Bumpus, Oxford
No. 6. P. W. Bridgman, Harvard, agt. B.
G. Brown, Cambridge.
Summing up the situation at the close of
play the Americans appeared to have q
slight pull at the first board, but at none of
the others Consequently. the advantage
was distinctly with the British collegians
the score being l to o in their favor.

Daytona, Fla, yesterday Oscar Hedstrom
broke the five-mile record with his Indian
auto. going the distance in 5.27. w. F.
Thomas and Alexander Winton were the
other competitors.
The racing was exciting, but In no other

A big crowd Of fashionable persons witness

Decoration day. May 80. Capt. Apperious
will have a chance to clear himself before
the Brown students on their own campus
Another new team comes to the city
week from today. Syracuse University, the
old rival OF Cornell and Columbia, makes
southern trip this spring and stops here to
play the Rock Creek lads. A splendid feel
ing exists between Syracuse and George
town and last year when the Georgetown
crew at Poughkeepsie was in need OF q
launch the Syracuse lads generously lent
them one. Georgetown wants to win this
game because of the way the races at that
same Poughkeepsie ended last summer. The
Georgetown boys were jus. at the finishing
line and lay on their oars thinking all
was over when to their surprise the eight
from Syracuse came pulling by taking the
place from the local crew. Several years
ago Syracuse sent a team to washington
and the game was one of the most warmly
contested OF the season.
If the weather holds Georgetown field
will be the scene Of much good sport three
days next week, and the local lovers OF
college base ball will have splendid op'
portunity to treat themselves.

MATCH PROBABLE.
McChesney to Race Hermis During the
Summer

Not since E. E. Smathers has owned Nc
Chesney has the horse competed in any
race, but he Is scheduled to start in the
Montgomery handicap at Memphis on Mon
day. Mr.. Smathers will witness the race.
He left Kansas City yesterday afternoon
for Memphis.
''McChesney I believe. Is the grapdest
horse in the country" says Mr.. Smathers.
HE can run well on any track, and is never
nervous at the barrier"
do I think he will win the Montgomery
handicap? Why. Of course do"
Have any definite arrangements been
made for match between Hermfs and Nc
Chesney?' Mr.. Smathers was asked.
"Oh, no; nothing definite has been DONE"
he replied. But I think that the match
will be arranged sooner or later. Just as
soon as arrive in New York Mr.. Bell and
I will talk over the matter, and it won't
take us two minutes to come to some deci-
sion."
