BR1TT.CoBB FIGHT.
Managers Can't Agree on Referee
for Tomorrow NIGHTS Battle.

4V1 AOAVAAVW NAHAt 00GtAOs
BALTIMORE. Nd. March 2.-There
promises to be little argument over the
referee question for the fifteen-round mill
between Young Britt OF this city and Ty
Cobb Of Philadelphia tomorrow night be-
fore the Eureka Athletic Club at AL
baugh's Theater. It Is understood that
Jack Hanlon, manager Of Cobb, will make
strong appeal for Jack McGuigan, the
Philadelphia referee, to be the third party
in the ring. Realizing the Importance Of
the contest, Hanlon seems to be some
what leary Of q local man refereeing,
and thinks McGuigan. on his splendid
reputation all over the country, would
make a suitable man for the argument.
Though Sammy Harris. manager Of
Britt, would prefer a BaltimOrean to
referee. 1t Is hardly likely that he will
register any serious objection to Nc
GMgan, as the Philadelphia has refereed
number of mills in which Harris was
interested and always rendered satisfac-
tory decisions. The third party will be
selected when Hanlon arrives here with
Cobb this afternoon from Cobb's training
camp at Merchantsville. Pa. Hanlon will
be behind Cobb tomorrow night and Britt
demonstrate his superiority over the Phil
adelphia yOungster
Britt was reported under weight this
morning. He Is one or two pounds I'M
der the stipulated figure, 10 pounds. The
local champion has cut out sparrtng and
is doing Hight exercise and road work
simply to keep him from getting stiff. He
expects to win and advises his friends to
bet on him.

BOATHOUSE BEING MOVED.
georgetown Structure Will Be 81
New Moorines by Shutdown.

The Georgetown University floating
boathouse is being moved this afternoon
from the landing at which 1t has held
sway for the past two years to the moor
ings Of the recently organized Riverside
Canoe Club, where 1t will remain until tho
oarsmen leave for Poughkeepsie in June.
AZ the structure Is floating one. being
Langley's ark remodeled, the job Of max
ing the shift IN sites Is not q difficult one
and 1t will be easily accomplished In one
day.
AS soon as the weather becomes more
propitious work will be started on 1t in
the way Of repairing. and IN a month the
building will present quite a different ap-
pearance from what 1t does now. How
ever, the alterations will be by no means
extensive, as the students at the Hilltop
school have begun to plan on building a
new permanent boathouse on land before
many more moons go by.
On account OF the warm weather the
work OF the oarSnen on the machines
has been considerably lightened during
the past couple OF days, while this after
noon they will not do any rowing at all.
Coach Dempsey realizes that the indoor
quarters are too stuffy these days for any
great benefit being gained from the prac-
tice, and because of this he Is Fastening
the repairs to the shells so that it will
be possible to launch them, on the river
by Sunday at the latest.
The announcement that q crew race
may be held on the Potomac during COM
mencement week this June has caused
a great many followers OF the Blue and
Gray school to sit up and take notice,
and there is no gainsaying that IL such
an event IL pulled OF 1t will attract great
attention Because all of the other COL
lege crews will be making ready to go to
either POughkeepsie or New London
about that time the battle here would of
a necessity be against club eight, and
this fact has given rise to rumors that
the Hilltoppers are negotiating for q race
early in June with the Potomacs. Future
announcements on the matter will be
awaited with interest

That the Washington Grove Athletic
Associations four will have a hard time
defeating the Brown Prep team of Phila-
delphia Is made certain by letter which
was received by the Georgetown manage
ment this morning, which states that the
team is in fine fettle just now. and are
only too glad to have a chance of defeat
ing the cracks representing the Maryland
club. The Quaker repal will be composed
OF Gallagher. Battiese. Colburn and Row
ley, the former being the greatest school
boy runner in America. Gallagher will
start back Of scratch In the 44O-yard
dash, the half and the mile runs.
Among the most prominent colleges
that will be represented in this meet are
Yale. Princeton, Columbia, Cornell. Vir-
ginia, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins. Penn
sylvania and. perhaps, Villa Nova. Prac-
tically every athletic association and club
in the District and Baltimore will have
entries. and when Starter McCough fires
his pistol at 1880 o'clock it is expected
that nearly 500 sturdy athletes will be on
the floor. The ticket sale promises to be
the largest in the history OF indoor meets
at Georgetown University.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. April 16.-The demand
for stocks today proved somewhat
spotty and the price movement irreg-
ular but sustained by the strength of
special stocks, notably the Copper
group. There was the usual disincli
nation to enter on extensive new com
mitments at the weekend. The ten
dency often seen to close up existing
commitments at that time was under
restraint and the market had but lit
tie profit taking sales to absorb. The
beginning of next week is awaited. in
fact to disclose for the demonstration
of strength this week has served to
attract outside interest in the market.
News developments today were scanty.
The diversion of European demands
for grain to Argentina, the high prices
ruling on exports Of rubber from Bra
zil and the movement of coffee from
that country all serve to build up the
credit balance in South American ac-
count. Easier money conditions seem
promising in the Immediate future on
the London prospect. In the London
outlook the whole money prospect IS
by no means clear.
The Copper stocks were affected by
the report Of large sales of the metal
at the weeks low prices but the re-
ports lacked official authority.
The material strengthening Of the
condition Of the banks disclosed by
the actual changes both by gains IN
cash and reduction OF deposit liabill-
ties through loan contract. explain the
manner in which the money marhe ct
oased towards the close of the week.
Bonds were steady. Total sales
1901, 900.
L. S. bonds were unchanged in the
bid price and call from last week.

ate wires reported a second heavy

more optimistic than it was prior to
