STABLES ARE FILLING UP.
Preparing for the Benning Meeting
March 90.

The stables are already filling up at the
Benning track in preparation for the meet
Ing which begins March %. John e. Mad
den has twenty-six two-years-o lds quar-
tered at the track, and William Shields has
twenty horses of all ages. The winter has
been SO mild in Washington that many of
the horses stabbed here are within a few
weeks Of being ready to race. Horses have
galloped over the track every day since the
meeting closed. December 1.
Billy Garth, who will train for Roy o.
Rainey, the young Cleveland millionaire
turfman, has applied for forty-five stalls
at the Benning track. He will have the
largest string in training here this spring,
as his entire stable comprises sixty head.
Garth, who won eighty-five races last year
with a lot Of cheap selling platers, will
have some fast horses In his charge. Among
his three-year-olds are such great sprinters
as De Mund and Horace E., two of the best
two-year-olds of last year.
Two Of the best-looking three-year-old
at Benning are John Pangle's Sandy
Creeker and Meddlesome Boy. Sandy
Creeker was rather a hard-luck youngster
ming, all right, and bids fair to prove a
more than useful colt this year, especially
In mud. Sandy Creeker has put on close to
hundred pounds since racing closed, and
when next he sports silk. Meddlesome
Boy has also grown and filled out. Frank
Somers, Pangles cross-country horse, is
also wintering well.

old FLY at Benning, Dairy Maid by St.

Milburn Is full sixteen hands and one of
the best-gaited trotters ever brought to this
city. He has been handled very little for
speed up to date. owing to the fact that he

advisable by his owner, Mr. John F. Meene-
han, to force him much until ma. red. It
is quite possible that Milburn will not be
placed in the hands of professional trainer

he will be better prepared to stand the

IN THE pro- LEAGUE,
Ordways Lead, but Are Not Certain
Of Winning.


The professional basket hall league of
Washington has proven a great success
with one exception, the Eastern A. c., which
started the season greatly handicapped
with poor team. 1t is safe to say how
ever, had they had the same team they
have at present the race would undoubtedly
be much more interesting and all the teams
having fighting chance for the champion
ship.
At present 1t is toss-up when the Wash
irgrOn Light Infantry, Ordways or Com
missioners clash. as these teams are all
evenly matched. and 1t is a hard PROPOSE
ton to pick the winner. The Ordways at
present are leading, but it is not a safe
prediction that they will win the pennant,
as they have several haru games ahead OF
them. and both the Infantry and Commits
sioners are of the opinion when they play
the Ordways again that they will have to
play their best to win. as these three teams,
namely. the Washington Light Infantry,
Commissioners and Ordways, still have a
chance, with the Ordways the favorites.
There Is possibility that some of the
professional teams outside Of the city will
play here in March. The teams. II strange
ments can be made satisfactory to both
parties. who will play here will be from
New Jersey. Pennsylvania, New York and
Delaware. The Washington team win be
picked from the following:

and James, forwards; Reyes, with no ex-
ception, center, with Boyle, substitute; Loft
