Interest shown in tlie event by sporting
men, especially among the race track con
tingent. Tlicre have been several bets
made, one of theia of $100 to $73, with
Gorman on the short end. The Washington
sports ecm to be conllilcnt that the local
man will have the best or the go and are
backing their opinion heavily.
Quite a large contingent of New Yorkers
will come down to see the contest, and as
they are one and all Gorman's lricnd,
there willbeiMlickorcash at the ringside.
Tlie wjrm weather of thepsst two weeks
lias been very hard on the men In their
training, but taking everything into con
sideration, they are in fair condition and
with cooler weather and a chance to get
in a little hard work, they will enter the
ring In the pink of condition.
Owing to the fact of McMillan belngsnch
a great favorite Jn this city, Gorman will
do bis utmost to win, as victory will mean
a great deal to him. lie trill, by defeating
McMillan, cstablis.il a reputation among
local sports that will insure his success
In tills section. Of course, he has not
yet licked McMillan, and few Washington
lovers of tlie fistic sport expect to see
their cliamplon go under.
When the records of the two menaresized
up it is a difficult matter tochoosea winner.
They have both met and defeated some
good men in their day and If class counts
for anything will pat up a great fight.
There la every indication that the arena
of the Eureka Club will be taxed to its
utmost capacity when the men face each
other next Monday, the 30tli- Application

Gorman is training at the Hotel Lawrence"
where th.-re Is a fine gymnasium in the rear.
"Denver" Billy Woods is handling him and
tills fact alone is a guarantee that Faddy
will enter the ring fit to fight for a man's
life.
Woods Is bringing' "Kid" Thompson, the
champion lightweight of Colorado, from
Denver and is anxious to match him against
any of the lightweights In this section.

Should .Marshall be successful in this
fight Alexander will again go on the war
path after George Dixon. lie has been try

The Senators will start the last week of
the season to-day at home with the New
Yorks as the opposing team. Mercer will
do the pitching Tor the locals and the Indi
ana twirler will be In the lwints for the
visitors.
The Giants have Just been switched three
straights by the Bos Ions and as the Senators
arc playing a pretty fair game It Is not
hopelcES to look for two of the three, or a
repetition of the Boston trick.
KEEP UP THE WOKK.
De Montreville will. In all likelihood, cover
short, and the old reliable, McGuire, will
continue his good work- behind the bat.
Cartwright, Crooks, and Joyce, at latest
accounts, will cover the bags, whileSclbacb,
Brown, and Abbey will officiate in the
outfield.
Mercer has been pitching an excellent
game recently, and if he can control the
ball to-day, the Senalors will come out
winners without a doubt.
For tlie visitors, Davis-will probably
be seen at second base, and cx-Piteher
German will guard the third bag. Wilson
will do the catching, as Farrell has been
laid up for some time.
GAME TO BEGIN EARLY.
The local management has concluded to
call the game at 4 p. in., and the chances
for eeelug a full nine-inning contest are
better than at any time of late. At this
iction the average fan wril be pleased, and
the rooter will have an excellent chance
for his "white alley."
On Thursday the Bostons will be here for
the wiudup. and it Is quite probable that
the make up of the team will be altogether
different than it was when they were here
before. Harrington, the new roan at
second, has been putting up a fast game,
and Dolan, the Eouth paw cyclone, will
pitch In one of the games.

AS IT WILLJEJIEXT WEEK
Orioles Will Close the Season
Pennant in Hand.
TEBEAU'S SPIDERS SECOND
They navoStrugglodManfiilly to Head
tin) List, Hut Fortune Is Agnlnst
Theni Tcmplo Cup Series Offer
Them a Chance to Retrieve Them
selves Senators May Gain.
In another week the National League
season will be over. The Orioles are non
regarded as the winners of the pennant,
and It looks as though Washington will
finish In tenth place, one round higher
than a year ago.
Tebeau and the other Spiders have made
a great fight for first place, and that they
will be a close second goes without saying.
During their last series at home they
played great ball, and the loquacious Oliver
has demonstrated that while many of his
players are old in the garb, the team has no
"has bccn."
During the past week they have won
eight panics without losing any, a record
enjoyed by no other team In the League.
Their pitchers stood the strain without
a murmur, a fact which tells a story to the
effect that one and all are fighting a
desperate flnish-for lire pennant.
CHANCE TO RETRIEVE.
There Is some consolation, however,
for tlie wily manager and his hustlers.
In that he will have a go for the Temple
Cup, and It Is only reasonable to suppose
that the Spiders will give the Orioles a
mighty chase.
The Cleveland? have six victories over
Baltimore, while the-latter won five games,
one game being postponed. As It Is the
Spiders have the best of the series and the
Temple cup games will be full of interest.
The Quakers are third In the race, and
while they cannot better their position they
cannot be displaced. They won four games
and lost one, gaining eight points In per
centage. Had they gotten themselves In
form a week or I wo earlier they might have
given the leaders a neck-nndneck finish.
They have made lots of mouey for their club
and Col. Rogers and the other stockholders
arc entirely satisfied.
INTO SEVENTH PLACE.
Two weeks ago Anson's Colls were In
ninth place, with a percentage of 513. In
one week's play without the loss of a game
they Jumped Into seventh place and their
percentage went up to 534. They ended the
week on last Saturday with a gain of eigh
teen points, winning six games and losing
one. They must continue their good work,
however, if they desire to hold fourth place
at the end of the season.
Boston seems to have taken a sudden brace
and moved up one round. They Increased
their percentage ten points, having won five
games out of seven. They passed both the
Brooklyns and the Plttsburgs, but In turn
were beaten in the race by the Chicagos.
Where they will be at the close It Is hard to
guess.
The Bridegrooms were In fourth place
ona tie with thePirateslaBtSunday morning
with .542 percentage. This they failed to
niaintaii-, as they start the last week of the
season In sixth place, and they mustplay the
Bostons and the Philadelphia.? this week,
and they are scarcely able to hold their end
up in tlie six games.
Freedman's team of mixed Giants are in
eighth position this morning, Just where they
were one week ago, but they have lost
thirteen points In percentage, and won
only one game out of five played. They
will hardly finish better than where they
are now. but itis In order for some one In
Gotham to make "predictions" for next
season.

Mrs. Fltzslmmoiis Also In the 1'arty.
Fltz Said tilt ltefcree Question
Is Set I led.
Dcsplto the lateness of the hour, there
was a large crowd at the Sixth street depot
last night when tho train from New York,
with Bob Filzslinmons' three special .cars
attached, pulled In. There was a rush
for the gate when Titz came- down to the
baggage-room to recliech his trunks, as
every one wanted to get a peep at the man
who is to meet Champion Corbett.'
In Fitz's party were Mrs. Fitzslinmons.
Mrs. Julian, Charlie White, his trainer,
and the German wrestler Emll Hoeher.
Martin Julian, his manager, started with
tlie parly, but got separated from them
in Philadelphia and was leftjbehind. He
came through on a. Inter train and will Join
the others in Lynchburg, Vn., where
Filzslinmons will give an exhibition.
Trom there the party will gcrto Corpus

tonio. Fltz has rented u cottage near
Corpus Cbrlstl, where dally exhibitions
win be glM-u during the season he will
train there.
Fitz's car did not stop in the depot more
than live minutes, as It was twenty min
utes behind time, but while the pugilist
was attending to bis luggage he did a little
talking to a representative irr The Times. .
Speaking on the subject of the referee
to be selected for the flgbC with Corbett,
Fitzsimmons said: "The; difference in re
lation to the rcrercc has been finally set
tled. The names of six men will be sub
mitted one week before the fight, three
men by each side, and tncn'thesesix men
will select one from their number, who
will be the referee." '
He simply laughed when-asked what he
thought' would be the outcome of his meet
ing with Corbett, and said in an off-hand
manner: "Oh, we'll have loo wait and
see."
Fitz was looking well, as was everyone

He was asked for particulars regarding

"Yes, I am going to challenge for the
cup. I have sent a preliminary message
to the secretary of the New York Yacht
Club and I have also communicated with
Mr. J. Flerpont Morgan on the subject-
"The formal challenge will go through

which is to be built and other particulars
which it is necessary to incorporate in
the challenge.
"The yacht will be designed by Sopcr,

"Certainly not," replied Mr. Rose. "I
shall make no conditions, though, of
course, I am must anxious that the race
shall be held where there will be no chance
of Interference, and I have no doubt that
the New York committee feel the same
way." , .
"It was feared," observed "the inter

prevent any Englishman from challenging

RING AND TRACK GOSSIP
Johnny Sporl Gave the Island
Books a Roasting.
THOUGHT HE WAS A SUCKER
Ilnt Slvu Won and the Shoo Was on
. . the Oilier Foot Owners Who Have
Ilcen itelnMuled Not .Much Mlxscd
at the Outlaw Tracks Selections
for To-day's ltaces.
Johnny Sporl, the president of the New
"Orleans Auditorium, made a f lying visit to
-this city on Saturday and left tho book
makers at the Island track a little re
minder by relieving their tin boxes of two
' thousand dollars.
.- Sporl," who, by the way. Is as good .1 fel
low as ever came over the hills, was hero
on business, and incidentally to visit his
-friend Johnny Dicstc-I. He visited thetrack
with Dlestcl, and as the latter had a thous
and dollars he wanted tosquander on Siva,
"Mr. Sporl went into tbc ring and bet It for
-him.
The report was circulated that he was a
"sucker" from Pittsburg, and the bookies
simply grabbed at his money, whereas if
.they had known it was Dlestel's they would
have started to rub when the first ten spot
was flashed.
- They thought that they had a "good
Jhing," however, and nearly fell oft their
boxes in the endeavor to take in the money.
"Every cent of the thousand went In at.
-twos, and the pcncilers were a sick-look
ing lot when "tho man with the whiskers"
tell Into line and started to cash.
Mr. Sporl livened things up considerably
and it is to be hoped that he will pay the
outlaws another visit In the near future.
The fact that some of the more prominent
owners at tlie outlaw tracks have deserted
and are now running on the Jockey Club
tracks has not had much, if any, effect upon
the game across the river.
Things have gone very much as they did
before the owners took their horses and
their money a way andthegameisthesame
that It has been ever since the big tracks
in the North opened.
There is not quite as much money In the
ring as there was, but the bookies seem
to be making a living without the help of
the deserters and it certainly docs not make
any difference to the talent.
Tilings that are most missed are the
familiar "outlaw cracks," and the bo s who
applied for reinstatement. Willie Ham
and Murphy are missed more than all the
restof the horses and owners put together.
Very fe w of the outlaw horses wen t away
as the owners realized that the ones who
cotdd win purses were fewand far between.
Key West, who was all but invincible
down here, started on the big tracks
Saturday and was not placed. If he had
been, the foreign book at the Island would
have known that a race had come off, as the
Island talent was down to a man.
When Murphy wononPa. Daly's Volley on
Friday the shout that went up from the
pikers at St. Asaph shook the roof. Murphy
did not get a call until the finish and when
he was announced as a winner every piker
on the track fell Into line.
The lack of good riders at the across the
river tracks is a very bad thing for the
talent. Tlmeand again during thepasttwo
weeks races have been lost through no
other reason in the world than incompe
tent riding.
Ncary, Parsons, Delehanty, Brown, Glea
son, Patsey McDermottnnd George Taylor
are the only boys who have any claim at
all to being decent Jockeys and some of
tbem are not cracks by any manner of
means.
Patsey is probably the best boy now riding
on the outlaw tracks. When he starts
to finish and is anywhere within striking
distance of the leader be can ride rings
around the other boys. Parsons is riding
in good form, but be hfiB been doing his
Ebarc of crooked work of late and so cannot

Bender is a good boy, but he is laid upon
the shelf with a Voken arm. Just at
present and will not be able to ride for
some time to come. Ncary has been down
for the past week, but will be allowed to
ride to-day and will make the other boys
Jump up and buEtle to get ahead of him.
The card for to-day is an unusually good
one. The events are all wellfilled, without
being so crowded that the delays at the
post will be long.
It looks as -if it were an easy card to
beat, but as those arc Just the kind that the
talent fall down on the hardest, it does
not do to bank upon beating them.
The opening race appears an easy one to
beat, as Marguerite II outclasses all the
other contestants. Meteor is the only one
of the others who has a possible chance, and
he will have to be satisfied with second
money. Delia M. should be third.
There are twelve entered In the second

it should furnish a good race. Velvet
Rose, Columbus, Jr., nnd Jimmie James
appear to be the best of the lot, and it Is
a hard matter to get away from James.
He only has eighty-eight pounds to carry
and should hold the others safe. Velvet
Rose wllllikcly get thcplace from Columbus,
Jr. Gaiety has an outside chance to be
in the money.
The two-year-old event will likely be won
by Young Griffo. He Is in rare good form
Just now and should have no difficulty

Bennlng will probably bo second, with
Fred Munch third. Harok is an unknown
quantity and cannot be "doped."
It Is a hard matter to find anything in
the fourth race to beat Mellnda. She is
very fast at a half mile when she wants
to be and it's a good safe bet she wins.
Cnrnalite has a good chance to be second,
with Prosper as the runner up.
The fifth race should furnish a Corking
good coiitestj but if the track is dry there
will be oulyme hore in it and that one
is Harry Warren. He is as fast as greased
lightning at the distance nnd should win
sure. Joe Mack is the best of the others

Steven N. Stlllwell, the seiretnry of
the Old Virginia Jockey Club, died yester
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at his resi
dence. No. 1304 G street northwest- Mr.
Stlllwell had been ill for two weeks with
typhoid fever, but he was thought to be
much belter and the end came very sud
denly. It was noticed that he was not quite so
well yesterday morning and his mother,
who resides In Brooklyn, was sent for. She
started at once, but arrived too late to see
her son alive.
Mr. Stlllwell was thirty-two years of
age and was born in Gravesend, L. I., where
his father, William Stlllwell, was one of
the most prominent citizens.
"Steve," as he was familiarly known,
has been associated with racing interests
since tioyhood. He received hi-, rirst start

was the late Wilham Encemann's riehc

Ills face was familiar on every race truck
In the countrv. and under his cuirl.inro
Clifton, Buffalo, Mnfpetb and Brighton
Beach all flourished. He also spent some
time in Canada in racing.
In addition to his duties as secretary he
did considerable newspaper work.
Of nil the old tlnien there was inme more

retary his patience was often taxed to its
utmost, but he wasalways thesame gentle
manly, kind hearted, obliging sieve, and
there was none more ready than he to ex
tend a helping hand to a fallen comrade,
subscribe to some charity or induce the
management to put 011 a charity race for an
injured Jockey.
The wear and excitement of the racetrack
