THE HOT TIME
 MINISTRIES TONIGHT
Program of Local Burnt Cork Show Which Will Be Given at Elks Thea ter Under Auspices of the Young Ladies' Guild of Trinity Episcopal Church.

The seats for the Hot Time min- strel performance. which will be giv. en at the Eks Theater tonight for the benefit of the Young Ladies Guild of Trinity Episcopal church, went on yesterday morning and in view of the fact that more than seven hundred tickets have been soli for the show, most of the seats have been reserved. The local black face comedians will doubtless be greeted by packed house tonight for third successive time, as two performances have been given in past months by the Hot Timers and each time they played to capacity.
 The show tonight is to be given under the personal supervision of Miss Victoria Harrel, whose efforts in the past have been successful in thls line. The minstrel boys have worked hard for the past two weeks in an ef fort to perfect their show, as the idea of reproducing the performance came 10 them only a short time ago. It has been difficult matter for the participants to get everything ready, but they have succeeded ad- An entire new performance is to be offered tonight.
 The program for tonight's show follows:

CITY LEAGUE HAS
 BEEN ORGANIZED
EIGHT BASEBALL TEAMS HAVE ENTERED FOR PLACE AND oTH- FRS WILL COME INTO LEAGUE AT ONCE.

The City league is a go. Application for place in the league was made la st night by eight teams and itis very probable that at least two or three more will make application tomorrow as several aggregations which have stated their desire to enter were not represented.
 Prof. w. c. Mcconnell stated after the meeting at the Hippodrome last nfE-it that he had no doubt, Judging from present indications, that the league would prove decided success as interest in the organization is high ly evident and the teams which have made application are anxious to get down to work. He also stated that the use of Smiths park for the games to be played was practically assured and with this matter out of the way there is nothing to hinder the immediate ar rangement of a sch edule.
 It is very probable that most of the games will be played on Saturday as the majority of the teams which have made application can only play on Sat urday afternoon. 11OWtNti, litle di v several aggregations which will have to arrange morning games and these can be played on any day during the week. A thorough organization of the association will probably be made be- fore next Saturday.
 Although eight teams have made ap- plication for membership in the lea que the books are still open. Should F or 15 teams make application all will be tried out and the best aggregations selected to compose the league.
 Applications were filed last night by teams representing Powderly, W. M. Stricklin, manag The Majestic, A. E'. Watkins, manager; Southern Bell rrele- phone company, J. Luccabee, manager Woodward Iron company, T. J. Curriff manager; Hippodrome, Prof W. c. Me- Cornell, manager, and the Eighth Street Smilers. L. R. Tunnels, manager The Age Herald, South side Rink, and East Lake teams will probably file ap- plications within the next day or two.

Montgomery, April 1S.-(Special)- it is yet too early to talk certainties about the local ball team it is fact that Mont gomery has shown up we'll for the begin ming. Careful critics assign Ryan's bunch to the first division, even though they may not tout the boys to take the rag. The men are. as rule, large, with bodily strength and endurance, d thing that goes a long way toward winning games. Pitchers are strong and resourceful, while there are few better backstops anywhere than Messitt and Shannon.
 Ryan iss howing up well as man. ager which is a good look out for success He shifted Henline from center to right in order that in that place he might have a hold on the players at all times From there l can see every play and at the same time coach the players, he said. T can also from there see the signs made by the catcher and tell, what sort of a ball is coming. There is much to be gained by being well in touch this way with the men. It gives them confidence to know that someone is helping to keep watch over the other side"

Fans Are Ready To Stand
 By Ryan And His Players

The support of the game indicates suc- cessful year. The fans are ready to stand by the men if they try hard, but they are not going to play any favorltes. As aa evidence that it is work that counts. one has but to look at the hero Baxter is now. Last year he was falling off and the fans soon began to cry out play ball or get walk. However the big first sacl1er seems to be determined to make good his promise to play the best ball of his life this year. 'I know at least two poorer first basemen in the big leagues than Baxter" said Ryan tho other day. If he is not the best in this league this year l miss my guess
 Tt is up to Ryan," said Presid mt Chambers at a little supper given ae boys the other evening. He must pl ty the game. The duty of putting the efdb up high is his, mine to back him up We are going to give him all the help he needs. and the money, and We are look ing to him for results" All of which is another way of telling the big fielder hitter that it is make good or walk the lumber. And it is giving away no secrets to say that this is the Wa. jimmie un- derstands 1t.

MILO KILLING ON JUGGLtR

New York, April 1S.-(SpeciaL)-Resti- gouche, a black gelding carrying the colors of James R. Keene and an added starter in the Freeport handicap, won that stake on the Aqueduct course in easy fashion this afternoon. Jack Atkin, the
 winner of the Carter handicap, was see-
 ond. Rialto captured third money.
 The failure of Jack Atlxn to get the
 verdict enabled the bookmakers to get
 even for the drubbing they received in the
 previous races.
 Dordello was first to break, with Rialto
 and Jack Atkin right at his heels. When
 they turned out of the back stretch Del
 aby had brought Restigouche through the
 bunch and took the lead. In the run to the home turn Restgouehe opened lead of several lengths. When they swung into the stretch Restigouehe began to feel the effects of the pace and Delaby was forced to start using the whip half way from home.
 The first race was a bad starter to the books, for Indomitable, the winner, was heavily played. Mystify managed to last long enough to get the place from Dr. leans Maid by a head. Thistledale made his first appearance l of the year in the Winfield steepleehase | handicap and celebrated the occasion by | an easy victory. Only three starters in l this even, Thistledale, Palm and Motor. ], Juggler won the third event by length l from Molesey, with Smoker a good third. l A mild killing was made with the winner. l Summaries:

Oakland Results.

Oakland Cal, April 18.-Marster's sud- den reversal caused considerable comment when he captured the feature today, the Tamalpais handicap, at Oakland. Frank Flittner was the favorite, but the best he could do was to finish third. Marster bothered several horses in the stretch, but the judges took no action in regard to the rough riding. Summaries:
 First race, six furlongs-J. W. O'Neill, 10S (kelly), to 1, won; Hector, 102 (Men- try), 10 to 1, second; Elmdale, 109 (W. Miller), to 1, third. Time, 1:14.

 SLUGGING MATCH Tommy Burns Knocks Out
 Jewey Smith FIGHT IS ALL 0NE-SIDED Burns Knocks Smith All About As He Pleases and Finally Finishes Him
 Up With Blow On
 the Jaw.
FIGHT IS ALL 0NE-SIDEl
the Jaw.

Paris, April 1s.-(Specia1) = Tommy Burns of Canada scored another victory here today when he knocked out "Jewey'' Smith in the fifth round. The big haired South African fighter, although hopeless ly outclassed put up a game fight and took tremendous amount of punishment, but was no match for the American, who was cool and uneoneerned.
 This was the first big fight in France since John L. Sullivan of Boston fought Charley Mitchell of London about 20 years ago, and drew an immense crowd, fully one-third of the spectators being women who appeared in the boxes and in the seats nearest the ring and with their shrill outeries punetuated the fight.
 It was remarked that the women were even more interested than the men. They followed the tide of battle closely, cry ing from time to time, Don't spare him Tommy; no mercy"
 The majority of the women were Amer jeans and they were enthusiastic rooters for the champion.
 It was evident as soon as the men ap- peared in the ring that Smith was mere ly a great burly brute who had over trained in order to get into shape for d | hard fight.
 As soon as the two men came together 1 it was seen that there was no compari7 i son between them in point of science l Smith went down twice in the first round 1 but he came up gamely each time In 1 the second Burns went straight at his
 man, putting his blows wherever he
 wanted them. The third round began | with fast and furious interchange of l blows, but Smith was winded badly and l clinched often to sove himself until
 Burns sent him to the floor. Just as the
 count began a cinematograph flash light
 set fire to the garlands of paper flowers
 around the balcony. The women became l frightened and with loud cries started to i stampede for the door, while the referee. 1 Louis Phelan, calmly continued to count,
 and Jewey, his face covered with blood, l staggered to his feet The panic was l oyer before the call of time for the fourth 1 round The fire did very little damage
 and the women returned to their seats. i In the fourth round Burns knocked hls
 man about as he pleased. His manager
 asked him, Why don't you finish him?' 1 Burns laughingly shook his head ana 1 continued playing with Smith. AL the 1 opening of the fifth, however Burns came
 11n with an air of determination and after 1 A few feints landed on Jewey Jaw ana | sent him down. A roar of applause fol- 1 lowed the announcement of Burns Nic- l tory and many of the women gave vent i to their pleasure by clapping their hands 1 till their gloves burst , l Several minor fights were held during l the evening.
