WRESTLING. 
 TWO DAYS
Jenkins Doing Hard Work In His Training Camp The Russian Living In a Hotel But Not Idle.

Tom Jenkins training quarters. Coney Island, was the center Of at- traction at ''the~ Island" all day yes terday. Jenkins has. been at Frank Clayton's Pabst Loop Hotel since the middle of last week, training for his wrestling match with the ''..ussian Llon," Georges Hackenschmidt at Madison Square Garden, May 1. The Old war horse knows that this contest IS Tar and away the most important he ever had, and he is working as ne never worked before. He is on the road with the rising sun and from then until he goes to rQpst with the chick ems he keeps hard at work.
 The Cuban Wonder" who is easily the best middleweight wrestler in America. if not in the world, has Joined Big Tom" and will help put the finishing touches on the American champion. Jenkins has already gained a host of friends among the Coney Is- land sporting element, and Hacken- schm1dts packers will find no end of money back of the American when the time comes for the two great wres- tiers to shake hands. Just what the betting will be it is hard to state as yet. There is thousand dollar side bet between Hackenschmidt and Jen- kins' packer at "even money" Wheth- CT these odds will hold depends almost entirely upon the amount of money that shows to bet on the Russian. There will certainly be no dearth of Jenkins money.

THE RUSSIANS METHOD.


 American physical experts were ut. terly confounded few years back when the mountainous Yusouf, the Sultan's Lion, trained for his wrest- ling matches here on club steaks and Turkish cigarettes.
 Now comes Georges Hackenschmidt, the Lion of the Tsar, who is to wres- tie Tom Jenkins, the American cham pion next week at Madison Square Garden. He is in active training, but, unlike Jenkins, Hackenschmidt is liv- ing at the Hotel Astor, eating prodigi- Ously of the best Herr Muschenhelm's s chef can offer, stuffing himself with sweetmeats and pastry and visiting the Broadway theater nightly.
 That Is Hacks way. He has his own ideas of the best method to get himself fit for wrestling contest, and uppermost is his belief that to do good physical work congenial surroundings are positively necessary. Hacken- schmidt has strongly developed ner- v0us temperament and to sequester himself in the country and undergo a regular diet and course of exercise away from every source 0 entertain ment would make him so moody he would be unable to work.
 Failing in an effort to obtain the services of Farmer Burns, the fam ous old-timer who taught Frank Gotch the game. Hack has made arrange ments with Alex Swanson, the crack lightweight teacher of the art of catch. as-catch-can wrestling Swanson will drill the Russian daily, and expects to have him proficient enough to be able with the aid of his wonderful strength to off-stand Big Toms" thorough knowledge of the game.

 NEW YORK, April 25.-Oaklawn, al the lsrohibitive price of 1 to 10, easily won the Canarsie stakes at Aqueduct. He 0utclassed his field so much that out of ten entries only four went to the post, with High Brush an added starter. Oaklawn led all the way, win. ming by three-fourths of a length.
 Grenade, the favorite. won the Flush. ing stakes in drive by three-fourths of a length from Ocean Tide.
 Getaway day at this track was sig nalized by large crowd, a first class programme and a cloudy, chilly day, that made overcoats and heavy wraps a necessity. Ten thousand or 12,OOO race goers turned out to assist at the closing ceremonies of the best spring meeting Aqueduct has ever had.
 Whorler won the first race in a gal Top from King Pepper. The latter de- layed the start for some minutes. The field got away with whorler in front. From the far turn on Whorler was never bothered and in the stretch drew away to win by half a dozen lengths.
 Only i've horses started in the second race. and the talent made Monet the choice. Monet was much the best and won easily. -Amberjack fiattered his packers for half mile.

Bridgeport April 25.-The Orators won their game from the Newfelds yesterday by the. score of 4 to 2. There wasn't a corporars guard present to see the game. The Newfields demon stratei that they have ball nine that is a credit to them. The nine innings yesterday afternoon were played in an hour. so it was a pretty speedy game.

THE PUGILlSTS.
GOOD FOR
 TEN YEARS
So Says Jim Jefiries to All Heavyweight Aspirants- Britt and White Date Changed Other News.

Contrary to the general belief, Jef- fries does not intend to relinqulsh his title to the heavyweight championship within the next few years if he can help it. The stories to the effect that he will be out of fighting condition in a couple of years, and that he would by, that time fall an easy victim to some younger fighter, yesterday brought forth the first statement on the subject ever made by the champion.
 While seated on trunk in his apart ments at the Navarro hotel, the cham. pion freely discussed his future and the possibilities of match. When asked if he intended to fight again, he said:
 T have never refused to fight any living man who had claim for a match with me. AS matter of fact I gave all of my opponents a second chance.
 If there was a man whom the pub lie thought would prove worthy op- ponent for me, I would sign articles at once and go into training. You know there is nothing in this acting busi- ness. It takes plenty of your time, but it's not the kind of a game that like. would rather get back into the train ing camp, and will be ready to do so just as soon as One) bobs up who looks the goods. I'm not at all worrying about fight, but if any good man comes along I will be there ready to defend my title"
 Yes, I am not as flabby now as I was before I started in to train for my last fight with Munroe I am not talk. ing on as much weight as some per sons believe.
 Well, I suppose I will surprise a good many persons before I let go of the title. Of course in my present con dition feel as though I could defeat any man in the world. What condi- tion will be in in a few years from now I cant tell, but I firmly believe that will be able to take care of my self for the next ten years. was just 30 years old Tuesday and never felt stronger.
 T know that am much better fighter than I was a few years ago, and I am getting faster with every fight There is no reason why a man should not improve between 30 and 40, and if I improve with the same degree as | have in the last four years there will be nothing to it. FitzsimmOns is rather old, they say, but he is still great fighter. This is because he has never dissipated. I never intend to dissipate, for there is nothing in that kind of game. may not be in the fighting game ten years from now, but I will be in 1t as long as there are op- ponents who feel that they have a claim on the championship"
