NEW YORK, March 31.-Bob Fitz-

The announcement that the above
match is as good as made caused local
sporting men to dig up their pugilistic
dope. and look over the records For
II was fight that they would not have
to read about, but one they would be
able TO see.
The way the fight stands now is that
the men are anxious to clinch the
match, as is Tom .O'Rourke, the pro-
moter. Rubin has gone on record as
being willing to fight within two weeks
ORourke says he can pull the bout OFF
but is willing to have the matter hang
over until the case against the fighters
that met at his club last wek is settled
ORourke is sure that the case will re-
suit in favor Of his club.
Fitzsimmons has a theatrical engage

Damp and Disguised.

For the second time this week the
George Washington baseball manage
ment has been compelled to postpone
games.
On Tuesday It was the West Virginia
game and today it is the Virginia game
which was scheduled for this afternoon
The West Virginia mana agement kicked
slightly at first when it learned that
the Hatchetites would not play, but
since the team has not been instructed
in aquatic ball. the visitors listened to
reason and called It off.
Virginia Pleased.
The University of Virginia manager
was only too glad 10 postpone the con-
test with his followers as they have had
very little practice themselves because
OF the weather, and the condition of the
field was also a factor in convincing
him that ii would be unwise TO allow
the teams to meet under the circum-
stances.
Georgetown also has had the same
hoodoo following TIE squad The game
with Providence which should have been
played Tuesday, was called off in the
afternoon, and as soon as IL was too
late TO start the game the weather be-

A coterie Of wealthy and enthusiastic

the probable outcome of the Oxnard

that there was not observed a national
turf dinner" where notable utterances
by the real big men of the sport could
be heurd-an event of even more conse-
quence than = sporting novelty such
as the affair being contested this after
noon at the Washington Jockey Clubs
course. The consensus of opinion seem
ed to be that the annual fixed turf
dinner" would come IN its own good
time.
In England the Gimcrack Clubs an
nual dinner. with its galaxy of promi-
nent and national turf characters about
the board. is everywhere looked forward
TO as a real event-as important in
way as the Derby itself.
