TUCKER BEATS RYALL.

New York, March 30.-The livelt- est bout on the card at the Long Acre Athletic club was between Chick Tucker and Lew Ryall of Phil tfdefphia., s' Tucker atidH Ryalf met about month ago at Nyack in a fight to go fifteen rounds, but Tuck CT hit Ryall low in the first round. Since then there has been good deal of feeling between the two, and last night they went at it hammer and tongs. Tucker had the better of the going, but he hit Ryall time and again in the breaks, and for this he was roundly hissed by the crowd.
 Joe Young and Jack Smith fought a good draw. Curley Supplies had q shade the better of Al Greenwood. Barney O'Hara and Battler Kelly fought a draw. The bout between Johnny Berger and Frank Sheehan stopped in the second round.

THE BEST EVER RUN
Chevy Chase steeplechase .
 Record Event.
GAMECOCK WON IN THRILLING FINISH
Feature of Benninss Developed the Finest Timber Topping Race That Has Ever Taken Place on
 That Track,

WASHINGTON, March 30. - Five thousand people braved the elements at Bennings and were rewarded by witnessing the best racing of the Washington Jockey clubs spring meet ing.
 The feature of the card, of course, was the fifth running of the Chevy Chase Pink Coat steeplechase for quail fled hunters owned by members of the Chevy Chase hunt or by members of recognized hunts in Virginia.
 The event developed into the best steeplechase ever run over the Bennings course. The four starters were well matched. In the first two miles there were at no time as many lengths be- tween the leader and the last horse as there were horses in the race. During the greater part of the distance Game cock, always the favorite, and Dunse- verrick ran as if coupled in harness, taking the jumps together and lead ing the other two by a length or two The closeness of the race aroused in- tense enthusiasm.
 As the horses flashed past the grand stand on the last round of the course the thousands of spectators rose and cheered encouragement to the riders. When the horses had cieafed the last hedge safely and settled down for their run on the flat 1t became evident that the race was between Gamecock and Dunseverrick. As they strengthened out in the stretch both riders began to ride with hands and heels.
 It was a thrilling finish. Both horses were ridden out, but Gamecock justi- fled the confidence of his packers by getting past the wire three-quarters of a length in the lead. Mir. Evans, on the favorite, rode an admirable race. With a ride of less judgment Game cock would have been beaten by Dun- severrick, for Mir. Kerr rode master full race on the latter. The result was popular with the talent. as MT. Kerr's mount was as heavily played for the place as the favorite was to win.
 Four favorites, one second choice and a third choice won the six races. The disappointment of the day was the poor showing of D'Arkle in the first race Although strongly touted, the horse failed to show any speed. The race went to Right and True at the longest odds of the afternoon. Al Powell, Sterling. Cannon Ball and Nonsense took the other events handi- ly, although Nonsense was challenged gamely in the last by Zany. Sum- maries:
 First Race.-Right and True. first: Ben Holder. second; Royal Window, third.
 Second Race.-Al Powell, first; Jobs town, second: Blue Bottle. third.
 Third Race. = Sterling. first: T. s. Martin. second; Ladsarion. third.

 In the proposed Beell-Piening match the contest will go to finish at mixed style of wrestling. These two men would have been matched before this but for some pickering as to the style the first fall should be. Fleming wants the first at his style -Graeco-R -Roman-and Beell Is as insistent that 1t should be at catch-as-catch-can. This difficulty will, however, be overcome, and within the next few days the match will be made.

BATCH WORTH MONEY.

Heine Batch, the old Waterbury and Holyoke favorite, is to remain with Brooklyn this, year in spite of reports to the contrary, according to the statements of President Charles Ebbets of tfe Brooklyn club. Young Casey has evidently supplant- ed Batch at third base, but the hit ting and base running of Batch makes him a desirable quality on a team, if nothing were thought of his ability to jump in and play either infield or outfield. Here is conver- sation on the matter between Ebbets and a Brooklyn newspaper man: '.Is it true that Manager Dunn of Providence offered you $1,OOO for Batch?" asked the writer.
 "Yes, but I will not accept $4,000 for Batch," said MT Ebbets.
 What, $4.000?" interrupted the writer.
 "Yes, $4,000, and you can publish that if you care to. Manager Dono- van and I are greatly pleased with Batch's work. and he will be fix. ture on the team"

The reason why the deciding game of the Wooster and Casino teams has not been rolled is because the play CTS of the latter five have not been able to get around. Bossell has been on the sick list and Dubuc has been engaged with his fathers business. Nevertheless the Casino team will be ready in short time and then for the champions.

Successful Team Deserved the vic- tory-Other Games
 Bowled. i.

The bowling tournament which has been going on for some time at the Wooster alleys came to an end last evening, Bostwick and Kilburn being returned the winners. Malsch and Olsen took the place, followed by Gross and Dubuc, the Beardsley brothers, who were at one time re- garded as winners, brought up the tail end. Because of new pins the bowling was poor there being many splits.
 The winners get $10, the second team will divide $5, while Gross and Dubuc get dollar apiece. Dubuc also gets $3 for the highest total of three strings, having 664, and re- ceives two more bones for making the high single which was 290, the New England record.
 Jaeger and Elton were the leaders, but as the former would not bowl the team did not compete. Jaeger will receive $3 for having the highest average, 192. In the number of points scored Jaeger and Elton are far ahead of any other team. They made 9,073 points, 45S better than the next team. The scores last night were as follows:
