MAY HoLLAnAY BEAT ciTY BANK
Rac1n& at Bennings TraclS--Thorney-
 croft Defeated.

Racing at Jennings TrnclS--Thorncy-
 croft Defeated.
 WASHINGTON, April S.-Three fa- volites again won at the Bennings track The card was fairly interest ing one, with fields of only limited size The features of the day were the victory of May Holladay, who beat City Bank in the six furlong event, and the defeat of the favorite, Thor. neycroft, in the last race.
 In the first event the horses were ridden by apprentices, Princelet, the favorite, winning. Tn the second Mod red Law, the favorite, beat the bar rier, and this gave him the race. The result in the third face caused the sur prise of the day, John E. Madden's City Bank showing a complete re- versal of form. He apparently did not like the soft track and seemed to sulk. The odds on him were 1 to in the betting. The race went to May Holla- day, an outsider, at 20 to l, who won by five lengths Ascension, the favor ite, took the fourth readily, racing Fic- kle into submission. Toscan, the favor ite in the fifth, was beaten by length by Monte Carlo, second choice. Bri- arthorpe beat Thorneycroft, the favor ite, in the sixth by the narrow margin of neck.

The opposition to Eddie Graney as a referee of any more big contests seems to be growing in strength and if reports are true it would be just as we'll to side track him. It is now claimed that Graney has been ac- customed to bet on matches in. which he oficIated as referee. This alone should put him out of the running as a referee. It is also claimed that while he was refereeing the Corbett and Britt match he received a private message of some kind which he open ed and read. After the match was over Corbett asked for the message from friend of Corbett's who wanted to see him knock Britt's head off. When Corbett asked to see the mes- sage 1t could not be found. This also was a very wrong thing to do in such an imporantt match. While the talk of refereeing is still going the rounds interest is also being taken in the coming match between Kid Mccoy and Jack O'Brien. That should be a eorking good contest from first to last, and a knockout ought to be scored. While Mccoy has been out of the ring for some time he will have great number of packers who will place their coin on him to win before the lime limit O'Brien will be up against the hardest proposition of his lighting career.

CoRBETT AND YANGER.

That Young Corbett is still consid- cred a drawing card despite his defeat by Jimmy Britt is evident, as the matchmaker of the Wayerly A. c. of Chicago is ready to give a purse of 5000 for a six-round bout between Corbett and Benny Yanger. the Tip ton SIasher'' | 4e club wishes to hold the scrap some time within four weeks. Recently the same club agreed to give $4.500 for the struggle, but the rivals declared that the amount was not enough. It is understood that Yanger Is to receive $1,200 whether he is sue cessful or not, while Corbett is to get the remaining $3 800 if he wins, and half that sum if he loses. Corbett has not accepted as yet owing to the fact that he expects to go abroad in a few weeks time.

 While Lajoie is said to be in first class condition and batting like fiend, it. will be a toss-up this year as to whether he or some other slugger leads the American league batters. Lajoie is much over weight and is unable to take off his surplus avoirdupois, while Willie Keeler and Sam Crawford are in first-class condition and out after the honors.
 When asked about the story from Pittsburg to the effect that Dreyfuss would like to get Dineen for his club, Captain Collins said: Why. all the clubs in the American league would have to waive claim to him before Pittsburg would have 3 chance to even try for the man, So you can see how absurd such story is. No doubt Pittsburg would like Dineen; So would Boston like. to get Phillippi, and we have just as good q chance of getting PhiIlippi as Pittsburg has of getting iDineen."

Munroe started for the Pa efic coast several days ago.

uMMY CANAvAN ILL.

New Haven, April Sword was re- ceived in this city yesterday by friends of Captain oames E. Canayan that he was unable to come east on account of the state of his health. Canavan had intended coming to New Haven for the purpose of meeting c. IT. Danaher, une new owner of the New Haven ball team. In fact he wrote he would be east about April s. His health has not been of the best, however. and he has decided to go to Westbaden Springs to recuperate. Should Canayan come east tnere would be fair prospect of av- ing him as playing captain of the New Haven team for the coming season. Attorney Danaher is still looking about for d captain and seems to favor playing captain instead of a bench cap- tain. He has received applications by the score, but to none of them has he given any inkling of his intentions.
