UP IN THE AIR
Special to The Leader.

oHttldl w ut l<tdutIs
Oklahoma City, Nov. 2G-oklahoma
City is up in the air. today and bus.
mess men and politicians are freely
predicting she will lose the fight for
the state capital. War has broken
out in Oklahoma City camp and the.
two factions are getting ready to de-
Your each other. There was a con.
Terence today of men. of affairs in the
city who are opposed to the Putnam
City deal for the purpose of opposing
the location of the capital here. A
movement was organized to present
to the legislature a counter site. A
bill to this effect is being drawn and
carries much more substantial of
fer to the state than the Putnam
deal II Is pointed out that Oxlaho-
ma City proper and the men who put
up thousands of dollars to secure the
capital In that city are not benefited
by the Putnam City project. Putnam
City is nine miles out from the CEN
ter Of the city and the corporate linn
its OF the city had to be extended so
as to include hundreds OF acres of
cultivated fields in order that Put
nam City would be within the requir-
ed five miles of the corporation line
This has aroused the people until
there is little real enthusiasm in this
city for the capital IL 1t must so to
Putnam City.
Local attorneys are preparing a
bill to be introduced Monday locating
the capital at Putnam City, but it is
an entirely different bill from tas
one which was submitted to the peo-
pie last June The anti-Putnam City
crowd are also preparing bill to-
day which will be offered II the ses
sion is moi adjourned as soon as call.
ed to order Hon. c. B. Ames of Ok
lahoma City is back of the insurg-
ents and will put up good scrap.
One of the arguments being used,
nearly, the only one. in fact, for Ok.
lahoma City, Is that the people voted
to locate the, capital there This ar
guInent looks rather flat in view OF
the fact that less than $4,000 voted
10 locate the capital at all at this
time, while two years ago 17,000
people voted in favor OF Campbell
Russel's plan for a New Jerusalem,
and this year about 10000 voted fol
IL simply as protest against the OK
lahonla City deal Oklahoma City
people have no explanation as to the
vote, when asked how 1t happened
that ll7,000 votes were cast there for
the capital, when at the general elec'
ton this fall. with excitement run
ming high, the vote of the whole coun-
ty was about 1000.

INSIDE NEWS FOR
THE FIGHT EXPERTS
Authentic Pointers Received
as to Jim Jeffries'
Condition.

Although Jeffries has just begun work
at his new training camp. it is evident
that he needs the services of somebody
who can direct the plans for the big fight
and also can rule the boilermaker with a
rod of iron. Jeffries, never fond of siren
uous exercise while preparing for a fight,
is doing pretty much as he pleases at
Santa Cruz, according to a letter sent to
the New York Sun by a reliable New
Yorker who has been in California all
winter. Big Jim has very little respect
for the views of Sam Berger. Farmer
Burns and Bob Armstrong, the veteran
negro pugilist, and is doing training
stunts without system or advice.
"Jeffries weighs more than 24O pounds
right now" writes the Suns informant
after looking the boilermaker over crit
ically week ago. "He may be heavier
than that, but there's no way of finding
out the exact figures, as he refuses to
step on the scales. At any rate, he's a
whole lot heavier than when he fought
FitZsimmons. COrbett and Sharkey in
New York ten years ago, and you know
he weighed DO for Sharkey. When l
looked Jeffries over today he seemed to
tire quickly and also perspired too much.
His face had a yeIloWsh tint and his
eyes did not show the old fire. He was
in bad humor and appeared to have a
crouch about everything His behavior
indicated to me that he was worrying
about something. but that may have been
due to the excitement in getting settled
at the camp.
In my opinion it will require a ire
mendous amount of hard labor to get jeff
ready. In the first place he will have to
take off at least twenty-five pounds UNI
less my eyes deceive me. Then he'll have
to get those bellows working the way they
used to, and that will take some time,
you can bet. It's a fact that after mod
crate exercise. such as a light dumb-bell
drill or brisk walk. Jeff puffs and
wheezes, which looks bad. He can't get
into the ring in that condition If he wants
to have a chance in long fight. He
knows it, too. and maybe that's what
worries him..
Berger is no trainer. neither is Burns.
the wrestler Armstrong is just sparring
partner and human punching bag. but be-
ing a negro Jeffries does not heed his adj
vice. They are going to send for Choyn-
ski. hear, and Jim Corbett will come out
about the middle of May, SO that therell
be plenty Of cooks at the quarters. Billy
Delaney is living quietly in Oakland all
this time, within a short distance of the
battle-ground. He hasn't been near JEFF
fries and I understand there isn't a
chance Of reconciliation. but out here
there isn't a fighting man who doesn't
say Delaney ought to be in Jeff's cot
tage day and night. the boss of the job.
Delaney was the only one who ever could
rule jeff and he's sadly missed. l can
tell you. It's too bad there's such wide
split"

AMATEUR BILLIARDS.
DR.. Douglas Wins Longest Game in
Tournament.

NEW YORK. April 12.-Dr. Walter G..
Douglas of the New York Athletic Club
won his first game in the 1872 balkline
amateur billiard tournament at the Ham
ilton Club, Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon,
defeating DIR. Walter +. Cfenheimer of
Philadelphia by a score of 400 to @O5. 1t
was the longest game of the series so far
and sixty-two innings were played. DIR.
Uffenheimer was not in form. He was
pa rticularly weak on draw shots and only
occasionally could get the balls in con-
troll for fair runs. DIR Douglas played
steadily throughout and when he had
taken the lead he made the most of his
advantage, as DR.. Uffenheimer is not
beaten until the game is over.
The Philadelphia man started off well.
He made run of 81 in the fourth in
ming and at the end of the fifth had 40,
leading by Is. DR.. Douglass ran p in
his sixth, which was almost offset by a
23 by DR.. Uffenheimer. At the end of the
tenth inning DR.. Uffenheimer had made
So to 81 by DR.. Douglas. Then DIR. Doug
las made 2s, which he followed by 81.

EASTERN HERE TOMORROW.
Georgetown Will Probably Pitch
O'Conor Against New Foe.

For the first time in the history of ath-
letics of Georgetown the Hiltoppers will
line up tomorrow against the speedy ag-
gregation Of ball /tossers representing
Eastern College of Manassas. Va. The
contest will start at 4 o'clock.
Following the defeat of Saturday, there
has been some talk of making another
shift in the lineup of the local club, and
there is a possibility that such a course
shall be followed at to-day's practice. Sat-
urday the team meets Virginia at Char
lottesville. while the day before it will
play Bucknell here. The students at the
school are anxious to see the game with
Virginia turned into victory, and des-
perate efforts will be made to secure the
desired result. the two previous battles
being used as safe means of attempting
to remedy the defects which have been
so prevalent of late.
O'Conor is the most likely choice to be
sent to the rubber tomorrow. If he is in
good form and Menefee is back into first
class condition, this will be a formidable
battery and one which will make it warm
for the lads from Manassas, who, accord
ing to report, will be able to put a pretty
fast lineup in the field.

SURPRISE PACKAGE
FOR THE NATIONALS
Baltimore Defeats Locals in a
Stirring Ninth-Inning
Finish.

BALTIMORE Md, April 12.-Jack
Dunn's Orioles rendered Jimmy McAleel
aud his Washington American Leaguers
a little surprise party at Oriole Park yes
terday afternoon. Urged on by several
hundred rooters the Birds showed the
boys from the big show a sample OF some
real good base ball and winding up with
one of those thrilling ninth-inning rallies
which makes the national sport so popu-
lar among millions of Americans, won out,
4 to g. II was a finish which sent every
Baltimore fan home with an appetite for
supper for in none of the preliminary
games thus far this season did the Birds
display such inspiring form, and when
Dunn goes through with his present plans
this town will have a club that will make
all of the other mines in the Eastern
League circuit step some to win out in
the struggle for the grand old flag.
With Donnelly and Malloy floating up
twisters that would have done them
credit in season instead of the early
spring, Dunn'S representatives were full
of the real diamond stuff. They out
played the men I'm Ban Johnsons circuit
from every standpoint. and after the
helpless before the effective work of the
local pitchers. From that time on not a
single Washingtonian could negotiate
with the fourth corner of the diamond.
But for the hitting of Bob Unglaub. the
Batimorean, who is the initial sack guar
dian OF the Washington team, the Birds
would not have had to work so hard to
take the major Ieaguers into camp.
After he had been presented with a bou-
quet of flowers by some of his Baltimore
admirers, the first time up Unglaub
showed his appreciation by mauling the
sphere down the third-base line for two
bases, while in the next swing at the
bulb, in the third inning, the boy who
started his professional career on the
back lots of this city landed on the ball
for another two sacker in the very same
spot But for Unglaub's vicious welding
of the war club it is hardly likely that
the Nationals. as they are known in the
American League ranks, would have
scored at ALL Outside of Unglaub, Street
was the only other visitor to find the
Oriole boXmen safely more than once;
only one of his hits was clean. The score:
