SENATORS PRAcTIcING.
Shortstop Cassidy Made Good impress
sion by Fast Work

The dismal weather this morning kept the
dozen or more players of the Washington
club away from practice this morning, but
Immediately after luncheon every one
boarded the cars for the grounds and put
in about three hours good, hard work.
Fielding, batting and running was INDUCED
in by everybody, and the boys appeared to
enjoy the play. Hundreds of fans were
seated in the grand stand and bleachers
watching the practice. and were quick to
applaud the many good plays pulled off by
the different favOrites.
Shortstop Cassidy appears to be the best
of the new men, the little fellow having
wonderful arm. which he uses with free
dom that astonished the veterans. He is
very quick on his feet and goes after the
hot grounders in manner that stamps
him as being a fielder above the ordinary
Jake Stahi, at first, also handled himself
nicely and he will have no trouble getting
into shape to guard the initial corner or the
diamond
Manager LOTUS was seen by Star re-
porter at noon and said that no new players
had reported this morning, but that he ex-
pected Kittredge to reach Washington on
almost any train within the next twenty
four hours
Nothing was done at either park in the
way of tearing down or erecting STANDS,

The hemorrhage was not a serious one. and
seemed to be but a rupture of some minor

Odom was not on hand to ride Himself in
the handicap. He claims that Odom en-
gagged to ride the horse. Odom'S brother,
who serves him as valet, came here two
days ago, and was as much surprised as
DAILY that George did not show up. He
said that he would in all probab bility not be
here at all.
The three placed horses in the Benning
handicap all had been wintered and raced
in the south or west. Shrine had been
stabbed at Savannah and raced there

READY FOR ToNIGHTs FIGHT
Corbett and Britt Both Confident of
Winning.

Two very confident young fighters will
face one another when the gong sounds to-
night at Woodward's Pavilion San Fran
cisco. Both Young Corbett' and Jimmy
Britt express supreme confidence in their
ability to bring home the money. At this
time both are in splendid condition. ready
to step into the ring and put up the best
fight that either has yet shown.
Nearly every seat in the pavilion has been
sold to sports from San Francisco Denver
Salt Lake. Portland. Los Angeles and other
outside cities. 1t is estima' ted the attend
ance will represent between 1000 and
$4,000. The fight has caused more interest
In San Francisco than any except the bat
tie between Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett.
Britt is close to weight, and tapering off
In his work. The secrecy in regard to Cor
belts weight is still maintained at the
champions training quarters Nobody
doubts, however that either man will have
any difficulty in making the required 13O
pounds.
TO judge by the talk from the training
quarters, Corbett and Britt sincerely be-
neVe that the other was Just made to order
for him. hurricane battle is expected
that Will come to an end before the end of
twenty rounds. Both men are hard punch
ers, ane, know where to find the vulnerable
spots. They WILL undoubtedly, mix things
up as soon as the gong sounds for the first
round. There is evidence of this in the fact
that both are willing to bet they will strike
the nrst blow in the contest.
Betting on the fight took sudden jump
last night. Young Corbett sent $500 TO
Harry Corbett's pool room to bet on him
self. The odds had been 10 to on Corbett.
When the champions money arrived Britt's
supporters wanted 10 to @, and Corbett's
money went on at those odds. Britt sent In
$500. which was snapped up at once by the
Corbett people. Eastern money arrived In
San Francisco all day, and apparently 1t
was all to bet on Corbett.
1t Is reported that Corbett wants to bet
$4,000 that he will knock Britt out inside
of thirteen rounds. but asks the odds of :,
to on the proposition. 1t is not likely that
Britt's hackers will lay the Odds
Britt asserts he can whip every man
Corbett has ever beaten and he doubts the
champions ability to beat the men he has
put away. Britt will profit by Eddie Han
Ions experience with Corbett. The cham-
pion beat Hanlon because Hanlon thought
all he had to do was to take a punch and
give punch. Britt knows how to avoid
punishment as well as to punch hard.
Trainer Harry Tuthf1l Is confident Cor
bett will win. Tuthiil says: People don't
know how good a man the Kid is He has
never extended himself, because ne has
never had to. When Corbett fights Britt
you will see just how good he is when pit
