SEVERAL PHYSICAL CULTURE
 ARTISTS IN TOWN.
Thursday Nights Session Will Be a Promising Opening of the
 New Club.
CANS AND GARDNER.

Boston. Mass, April 24-Asserting that he can make 133 pounds at 3 o'clock in the afternon, Jimmy Gard iner yesterday accepted the terms of fered by Manager Billy Pierce, of the Lincoln Athletic club of Chelsea, for a match with Joe Cans for the light weight title.
 Cans has already accepted terms, and the match is as good as made.
 Gardiner is at present in Kalama- zoo, Mich, where he fights his old rival. Jack O'Keefe, tonight. Before leaving his home in Lowell, he was in touch with Pierce, who has had the match in mind for long time. Cans is eager to get another chance against high grade man in the East, and Pierce. believing that the colOred man would give the people run for his money if kept away from Al Herford, offered him inducements which were readily accepted. Gardiner weighed but 13S pounds here when training for the O'Keefe bout, and scoffed at the insinuations that he could not do 133 for the title Cans himself has assured Pierce that he will make the weight and will post big forfeit to bind his assertion.
 No date has as yet been set for the battle, but it is thought that it will be fought late in May or early in June. It will go either fifteen or twenty rounds.

CORBETT AND INLAND.

Salt Lake City, April 24.-The figh. between Young Corbett, of Denver ex-featherweight champion, and Fighting Dick Hyland, of San Fran. cisco, which was scheduled to take place here tonight, has been post. poned until April %.
 The many charitable benefits which have been taking place here caused the change in date. Both Hyland and Corbett in order to swell the Utah fund for the stricken city of San Francisco, have readily consented to the postponement, and both have or iginated unique way of adding their contribution to the fund.
 In addition to substantial cash do- nations. Corbett and Hyland have placed doorkeeper on the entrances to their training quarters and charged admission fees from the spectators. who usually see the men going through their stunts without the formality of pausing at box office.
 Although the boxers were trained to the hour, they will experience no diff ficulty in keeping in shape until the bout takes place. s

Opening day Thursday.

 Bridgeport is coming here pre- pared to do things to Waterbury on Thursday.
 Are the City league managers making fatal mistake? Why were they stopped from playing on certain grounds before?
 The 23 sign was written on some of the local ball players when they arrived here and the axe fell most prophetically.
 Hartford is making great strides to land pennant winning bunch, and it is not stopping at spending a dollar or two either.
 Manager Daly of the Hartford team has offered Walter Burnham, the Newark manager, $500 for Brown, the big first-baseman on the Newark team.
 The Shop league which is just being organized may be given the use of the new ball field on the same terms that was offered to the City league. That is the latest phase of the dispute to-day.
 Manager Durant was in touch with several of the Eastern league man. agers last evening over the long dis tance telephone and in a few days it is expected the 23 and the skiddoo will greet some more of the locals.
 It was too bad the rain and snow came yesterday, for there were a whole lot of fans who wanted to see the Niagara boys, including Johnny Moran and Bill Dwyer, get in their work on the Waterburys. They are playing down in Bridgeport to-day.
 The Manville team would like to play any team in the state. The line up is as follows: Housaton, c; Con- lon, D; Spencer, 1b; Lachance, 2b; Camp, 3b; Shorty, ss; McGowan, If; Fish, of; Johnson, If. Any team that would like game call on John Me- Gowan at Manville Bros.
 The City Amateur league managers voted last night to rescind the7 aer tion taken some weeks ago when they adopted the proposition of Man ager Durant for the use of the new ball field for their Sunday games. It is understood that the Driving park has been offered to the City league for their games. The league had those grounds before, but they were forced to stop playing there be- cause of objections by people in that vicinity and for other reasons.
 The managers of the City Amateur league paid out $100 for base balls last season, almost the same amount for trolley fares, about $75 for um- pires and other expenses would foot up nearly s100 more. That amounts to nearly S400 and yet this amount is included in the expenses allowed by Manager Durant this season. What is the "nigger in the wood pile" anyway? Get on your thinking clothes, you City league managers, or you may lose the best thing you ever had offered you.

ington avenue, in which John Pien- ing, the Graeco-Roman champion. and George Bothner. the lightweight catch-as-cateh-can champion. will risk their titles, should attract an immense crowd Fleming has trained harder and longer for this match than he did for the match he had with Tom Jenkins at Madison Square Garden, and is brimful of confidence. Beell has also carefully prepared himself under the watchful eye of Harvey Parker. who has tutored him into every trick in the game worth knowing, and he is fin perfect physi- cal condition for the grueling con test he will be compelled to engage i'm The contest between Harvey Parker and George Bothner should furnish one of the most sensational struggles for supremacy ever seen in this country.
 Betting on the result favors Pien- ing and Parker. as the latter vflI have an advantage in weight over Bothner. and Fleming is great local favorite since he vrestled a draw with Jenkins

BEZENAH AND FARMER DRAW.

Peoria, H.. April 2i.-Andy Beze- nah. of Cincinnati. met tartar in Kid Farmer. of Peoria, last night, and after ten rounds of furious fighting was able to obtain only draw. The odds were heavy on the Fastener who was expected to put Farmer out in five rounds. The Peoria boy was the cleverer of the pair and willing mixer.
 Bezenah took great punishment. hut was never stopped. and after each swing of the rangy Farmer waded in for more. In the tenth round Beze- nah made terrific effort to win on . knockout, but could not land the blow, although the boys mixed it all the way.

THE DIAMOND
READY FOR THE OPENING OF
 THE SEASON.
Bridgeport Coming Here on Thurs day for the First League
 Game.

Bridgeport is coming here Thurs day for the opening game of the Con necticut league season. Waterbury has been playing better base ball in the practice games than has Bridge port and should be counted on to win. Jim O'Rourke says he will take that first game, however, just to have the honor of winning on the new league grounds first. The best batteries of both teams will face each other and the locals may be assisted by several new faces, although that is only problematical. It will be a game which should draw out thou sands of the fans who have been longing for base ball for this city for several seasons.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

Dave Altizer jumped the Springfield baseball team yesterday morning, leaving to join the Lancaster, Pa, club of the Tri-State league. It took the wild fellow a. long time to make up his mind, but he finally left Spring field on the 11:34 train after shaking hands with the other players on the Springfield team and wishing them and the club good luck.
 Michael r. Hickey of the Connectl- cut league umpire staff is seriously i'll and may not be able to begin work when the season opens Thursday. Hickey was to have officiated in last weeks games on Hampden park, but had returned home from Waterbury in such condition that he is compelled to remain in bed.
 While we are just beginning the baseball season of 1906, the students in the Philippine schools brought their schedule to close last month. Five teams were in the struggle, flor championship honors, which resulted thus: Philippine School of Arts and Trades, won ', lost 1, percentage .S75; Cavite, won 6, lost ?, percentage .75O; Manila Normal, won ,, lost 3, per centage .G25; Tondo, won 2, lost C., percentage .250; Commercial, won 0, lost 8, percentage 900.
 The American league has monop- oly on the Joneses in baseball. c. Jones is. with Washington, T. Jones with St Louis, D. Jones with Detroit and F. Jones with Chicago. The Brooklyn club has traded First Baseman Gessler for Pitcher Knolls | of Chicago. This means that Tim Jordan will play first for the Dono- vans.
 Maloney is playing as well for
 Brooklyn as Sheckard for Chicago. | The former made seven hits in ten games and the latter five hits in nine games. Maloney has been covering a world of ground for Brooklyn in center field and throwing as well as Sheckard ever did.
 Justice Day of the supreme court is regarded as the best posted man on | baseball of any of his associates on the supreme bench, but even his train- ed mind is probably hard put to it sometimes to differentiate between d base hit and an error and q wild pitch and passed ball. The National league race so far has been better than for corresponding length of time last season. The teams are well punched with the exception of Brooklyn. The New Works won seven out of their first nine games last year and had percentage of ITS, Ill points more than they have at present.
 Martin Walsh. a pitcher secured by Hartford from Newark, is a brother of Ed Walsh of the Chicago Ameri- cans, formerly of the Meriden team. Martin is a husky young giant and is bigger than his famous brother. Cy Trumbull. has been given his release, as has Catterson, the outfielder left by Montreal. Cuthbert. the Montreal catcher, has returned to Hartford and is said to be sure of a place on the team. Hrr-ei- -gr- an fg5T'
 Manager Slack of the New Havens today began his releasing of players He cleared away some of the dead. wood by notifying First Baseman Britt and Catcher Lennon that they must walk the plank. Britt hailed from Meriden. His release indicates that Slack thinks that John Bunyan will be good enough to play the posi- tion again the coming season. Len non came from Bridgeport where he had quite reputation in city leagues.
