SCHMELZ'S PLANS.
Manager Schmelz will leave town at
onco for Pittsburg, where lie will Join
his theatrical company. He will take the
management and will be on the road
during the entire season.
Gus is anxious to try the new pitching
material he has on hand, ami will glvo
both ilolowortli and Do well a chance
in to-day's games.
Gilroy may be put In, as he is anxious
to have another try at the Bostons. The
poor showing that lie made in Friday's
game should not lie taken as a gauge
of his pitching ability, as the .support lie
received was as much to blame for the
number or runs that were chalked up as
was his pitching. He lias signed with the
club, and Manager Schmelz feels confi
dent that he will develop luto a first
class pitcher.

When Billy McMillan steps Into the ring

Gorman lie will have a cliam-e to prou lo
the Washington sporting public that he
is worthy the name of "Champion ot the
District of Columbia."
In Gorman he will meet a strong, sturdy
pugilist and an old ring general, who will
bring out allot the good points of the local
man. Gorman in bio day has fought count
less battles, botli in tills country and
Australia and what lie does not knowabout
the game is r not much value to a pugilist.
McMillan has also had considerable ex
perience and he will, it ls expected, at
least give the public a rattling run lor their
money. He lias met and defeated some good
men and so easily disposed otall of thclocal
aspirants for championship honors that his
supporters expect lo sec him come ort
victorious In to-night's battle. . In fact,
they are so confident he will be returned a
wluner that they are giving the Gorman
people the best of Hie odds iu tiie betting.

The cards at both or the tracks have been'
somewhat light, but this is not to be de
plored, as the vjry heavy cards are not
at all popular.
When the big tracks close up there will
be many bookmakers and sporting men
in general who will come down here, and
the game Is bound to Improve.
The racing at both tracks has been
much cliauer than it wa, There are still
some very bad-looking races run at the
Inland track, as no attempt seems to lie
made to bring the offenders to Justice, if
they have any sort of pull whatever with
the management. At the St. Asaph track
it ts dirruvnt. Judge Martin keeps such a
strict watch on the boys that lliey aro
"Afraid lo try any of tlulr moukey busings.
There have been jobs pulled ort here as
there are on every truck in the world, but
the nttcmpts.tlial have been made to lay
Iticm at the floor or a certain orniial con
nected witlijthe track have been as foolish
as they were futile. The tame owners
run at the St. Asaph track that do at the
Inland. and why they should select the
former place to pull orr their Jobs would
be hard to say. At the St. Asaph course
they have a judge to deal with who will
not stand any jooiishiicsx and who will
bring them up with a, round turn the
moment he sees an thing going wrong,
while just the opposite may be said of
the Island.
The linrdest'blow that the outlaw tracks
suffered by the Jockey Club's amnesty was
the losing or the best Jockejs who were
riding across the river. There has been
nice alter race lost through nothing In
the wurld but bad riding during the past
two weeks.
A good Illustration was the ride that
Jockey King gave on Vent in the last race
on Saturday at the Island track. He won
the race by the shortest possible margin
in the last Jump, but H Vent had not been
pounds belter than Grand I'rlx he would
not have been one, two, three. King rode
the horse all over the track, carried him
wide on both turn, and messed him around
generally.
Cases like this are of dally occurrence and
the public arc the sufferers every time.
The worst otitis that there seems to lie no
remedy whattver. The only thicg that
can be done is to wait for the stable boys to
learn to ride.
The foreign book receives the bulk of
the attention whenever Murphy has a mount
ou the New York tracks. The pikers get
down on him to a man, no matter what he
may bo riding and seem lohave perfect con
fidence that he will laud his mount across
the plate. And as a rule ihcy are not
wrong.
The old outlaw craifc Is riding In great
shape on ttie big tracks. He is also havlrg
his share of luck. He landed Ta Daly's
Volley In second place one day last week,
bat received the race after the winner was
riUqua'ified for fouling. It looked very
much as If Slmms had tried to putilurphy
over the fence.
If the colored lad tries any of his tricks
Willi Mike Daly's boy tie will find he has
barked up the wrong tree, as Murphy is as
smart as the next one at the tricks of the
trade. He could ride all around the boys
down here, with the possible exception ot
Willie Ham, and It's dollars to cents that
he can show his heels to many of Ihe best
boys ou the Northern tracks.
The card at the St. A6aph track to-day
is a" good one la every respect- The events
are not only well filled but the class of
horses is good and pretty evenly matched.
The opening event baB eight pretty rank
dogs entered and the man who beats it will
be a good one- It is the only real bad
race ou the card, and will do well lo leave
alone. The 6econd is at six furlongs and ,bas
twelve carded. If the track is l;eavy Duke
of Gloucester shouM win, but ns it is very
doubtful in Just what condition it will be by
the time the races are started he can be
thrown out altogether. Humming Bird
figures pounds better than the rest of the
field and should have no difnculty in
winning. It is a very close thing between
Little Alice and Miss Modred for the place
with the chances 6lightly in favor of the
latter.
The two-year-old race should go to that
unlucky colt, Mario, He has been left at
the post, nearly put over the fence, lias
been cumbered up with liail Jockeys, and
has, in fact, had everything done to him
that could be to keep him from winning a
race. To-day it looks as it he was about
due to break his run ot hard luck and we
look to tee him returned a winner. Fred
Munch is about the best of the others, with
Murray the next best.
laiza belli should repeat her victory of last
weeklnthefourthracc. Shewascomingfast
in thoracein which shebeatSomoMore. As
that event was at six furlongs and to-day's
is at six and a-half she "figures" a sure
winner. Some More and Dr. Johnson will
about be fighting for the place wlUi Gaiety
well up.
The firth race lies between S Ira and Syde
The latter is very good Just about now and
may beat Dicstel's horse. Fassett Is the
best of Uie others.
The closing race should go to Renaissance,
although Grey Forest has a great chance to
beat him. 11 r. Heed has a mortgage on third
money and may have a fighting chance to
win. The race shoud furnish agood finish.
