WRESTLING
LACEY IS KNOWN
People From Massachusetts Who Live Here Say He is One of
 the Stars in the Game.

That Lacy of Adams is one of the
 best wrestlers of his weight in this country is conceded by all the Massa. chusetts people. Curtiss and O'Brien, of the Casino alleys, who came herr, from Massachusetts, know him and say that he will give Roach game he never saw before. They expect to go down 10 Simonsville that night to sec the match and will take long retinue of friends. Lacy Is working out fast these days and he is today In the pink of condition. As it is q straight catch as catch can match to q finish the spectators con expect to see some hours of fast and speedy work. The matches are always inter esting down in that little club room and If you don't believe it ask the hundreds that attend them. The proof of the pudding is in the eating they say and that is just what Mana ger Joe Lawlor has followed out in all his tournaments.

TERRY IN SHAPE.

Terry McGovern was the magnet
 for a crowd of sporting men who
 looked him over yesterday at John sons road house in Jerome avenue. McGovern indulged in ten mile run in the morning in spite of the muddy condition of the roads and when he got back to his quarters he found the vanguard of the visitors had ar rived. His bag punching, sparring and rope jumping were watced with much interest and when the little fel- low got his final rubdown the sharp eyed critics went away satisfied that if condition and training amount to anything in a six round mill Mctiov- ern will be able to make things hum when he stacks up against Battling Nelson in Philadelphia next week. Terry got on the scales yesterday noon and tipped the beam at 134. He will scale under 130. he says, when he enters the ring. Nelson, who weighed IA pounds. it is said. when he began real work last week. will have no difficulty in making l33 pounds, but that will be quite enough for him from all accounts.

HART QUITS RYAN

Marvin Hart and Tommy Ryan have parted company. Hart says fhst he severed relations with Ryan be- cause the latter threw bfm down. While Ryan says that he quit tbe Louisville siugger because he was a counterfeit. It was only a month ago that Ryan was proclaiming from the honsetops that Ryan was proclaiming housetops that Hart could defeat Jeffries and that he could also make mincemeat of Jack O'Brfen. Ryan never had much use for a loser but In Hart's case it is evident that Tom my was either bluffing when he boosted the kentuckian or was o.f i'm his usually good judgment.
 Hart got very little money for t,e terrible beating which Burns handed to him. He received for his snare of the purse for losing exactly sTJO. and after his training expenses were paid announced to not more than $500. The grOSs receipts of the show were Sf .soO of which the fighters got 5o per cent. As they agreed to split this money co Iier cent. to the winner and 30 10 the loser. Burns for winning got S1.G5o. while Hart received the remaining S7Je. The receipts were the smallest of any light that has taken place at Los Angeles in a long time.

THE DIAMOND
ORGANIZE TONIGHT
City League Will Select the Sixth Team at the Meeting This
 Evening.

The managers of the City Amateur league Will meet tonight in the St Joseph rooms to complete the organi- zation and adopt playing rules for the season. It IS only speculation as to which team will be admitted to the league to make up the full number. The applications must be in the hands of the secretary, William Guilfoile. this evening when the meeting starts at half past eight. This will be the best season the league has ever ex- perienced, both financially and in every other way. Manager Durant Of the Waterbury professional team has asked the president of the City league to act as arbitrator ill the mat ter of making arrangements for the games on the new grounds. Every thing will be settled satisfactorily to all concerned and the City league will undoubtedly open the Sunday games. The league will play on those grounds every Sunday during the season. On the Sundays that the professional team plays itself, the City league will play the first game. While two teams are playing on the new grounds the other four teams will be playing on the Riverside grounds. On the Sun days when the professional team does not play at home. the City league will play two games out on the new ball field and one game on the Riverside grounds. It will be seen from this that the City league will have very successful season,

THE SPORTING NEWS.

The former New England league
 heavy hitter, Phil Nadeau, will again
 be with New Orleans this season. President Pulliam has promulgated the outright release of Catcher Stroh and Pitcher Wilhelm to Boston and the transfers of Catcher Street by Gin cinnati to San Francisco and Catcher
 Bill Clarke by New York to Toledo. The St Louis Browns new catcher Branch Kicker, is hard and willing worker but will not play Sunday ball,
 nor will he go to a ball park on the Sabbath. It is matter of conscience with him and he will not sign con
 tract without being exempted from
 service on Sundays.
 Knight is quite likely to be Lave Cross's successor at third base for Connie Mack. Knight was a third
 baseman when he joined the Athletics being sent to short when Monte Cross
 was disabled. A promising under study for either Cross or Knight is Olding, the big youngster who played with Montgomery last year and cover ed short for Griffith after Elberfield was injured.
 A recent list of ball players in the
 two major leagues and the states in which they live shows that more have their lares and penates in Pennsylvan-
 ia than any other state. They are ap- pOrtioned as follows: Pennsylvania e, Ohio 43, New York 40, Illinois g, Massachusetts 20, Wisconsin F, h. diana F, Missouri 15, Michigan 10, California [, Iowa 6. Connecticut 6,
 Minnesota 5, Kentucky. Kansas, Col orado, Nebraska and Rhode Island 4 each, Delaware, New Jersey, District of Columbia. Maryland, Tennessee, Texas and Washington 3 each. Maine. Georgia, Louisiana and Arkansas 2 each, New Hampshire, Virginia, Flor ida, Alabama, Indian Territory, Ore gan. Oklahoma and South Dakota 1 each: also Canada 3.
 Red Owens who jumped the Brook lyn< club for the Tri-State league last year and has since been put on the baseball blacklist by the National commission, is in hot water. Owens cannot get back into the ranks of organized baseball and the ''outlaws" realizing this, have sent him contract calling for $10O month, or only $500 for the season. Owens recently ap- piled to the commission for reinstate- ment which was denied.
 Larry Hesterfer, the left handed pitcher, who did good work for the Newark Eastern league club last sea son is the latest player to threaten to jump to the independent Tri-State league. Hesterfer does not like the terms of the contract sent him by Manager Walter Burnham of the Sail ors. He refuses to sing unless he is granted in increase in salary.
 Pitcher Briggs traded by, Chicago to Brooklyn in partial exchange for James Sheckard, says that unless the Brooklyn club accepts his terms he will go to the outlaw league. Me Carthy and Maloney, who were also traded with Briggs are kicking over the traces, too. Jimmy Casey, the fourth man in the deal, has signed with Brooklyn.

BOWLING
ONE MORE SURPRISE
Beardsley Beaten Out of the Chance For First Place at
 the Wooster.

The Beardsley brothers chances oi winning the tournament at the Woes ter alleys were shattered last evening when they were defeated by Malsl and Olson by 57 pins. Although the winners of last evening were regarded as pretty good when they entered the tournament. they have not been play. ing up to their form and they have disappointed their followers. The losers have been playing rather fast game and it was expected that they would win easily last night. As a re- suit of the game Jaeger and Elton have an excellent chance of getting the rag. but should Curtiss and Itschner defeat them and the latter win an their post. poned games the Casino men would come out on top. The Beardsley broth CTS. who were thought by many to be "the' team, may yet get pushed out of second place. The score:
 Malsch .... ...... 136 215 113-524 Olson .... ...... 157 151 223-J31 F. Beardsley .... 164 16S 1S1-513 C. Beardsley .... 124 IA 211-4S5

HART MAKES EXCrSE.

Marvin Hart now attempts to ex- plain his defeat at the hands of Tom my Burns by declaring that he was the victim of a job cooked up by Tom my Ryan and Burns's manager, aided by the referee.

Hart had twenty rounds in which to show his superiority ovg his light antagonist and failed slgnally. Incidentally. Hart says he would like to fight Burns again, and will bet 5000 on the result.

THE PUGILISTS
ARE SHAPING UP Nelson and McCovern Preparing
 For a Cruelng Battle More About the Pugs.

Philadelphia, March 6-Terry Mo Govern will have to light the rough | est battle of his life when he meets Nelson here on March IA. The Battling Dane is making all his training preparations with the idea ill view of simply roughing Me Govern into subjection, using his strength to brush the New Yorker off in the clinches and making the light q rough house one from start to fin ish.
 Nelson, while boxing with 130- po,lnders, is doing q daily wrestling stunt with local 1SO1pound man, Il football player, who is spending half an hour every afternoon throwing Nelson around and roughing 1t in the most approved football fashion. They keep on their feet and con stantly work in clinches. Both are subjected to grlIelling which will be as rough as the boxers can stand when they meet in the ring. Nelson is training for this fight as he never trained before. His camp is about six miles outside the city, and even the most alluring theatrical invitations and club bids are re-fefused by Billy Nolan. who says Battling will not leave the quarters until the afternoon of the fight.

 The Williams and Sullivan go was a busy one from the first bell. Sul- livan, who had slight advantage in the weight, was disposed to rush and depend upon inf1ghting. Williams outsparred him and landing several good left jabs and uppercuts had shade of the first.
 In the second Sullivan landed two straight lefts to Williams jaw that about evened matters up but the Kid was too clever to give Sullivan a chance to follow his advantage.
 In the last round it was Williams all the way and he dropped Sullivan

 Jimmy Moran who was introduced as Jimmy O'Rourke. had no chance with Charlie Seiger in his three rounds though he was the aggressor through out. Seiger had him bleeding before the end of the first round and con tented himself thereafter by jabbing straight left to the nose and the mouth.
 Lew Ryall and Sammy Smith slug ged each other for three rounds with out much damage and Jack Goodney and Terry Young were even up all the way. Charlie White brought baci, recolections of Horton days by off ciating as referee and at the ringside were many of the notables of the real old fight days.
