THINK MASTERSON
CLEVER 3-YEAR-OLD
(Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
SAN FRANCISCO, March ?.?Tno horse?
men at Los Ar.iz'\: * no doubt think Mas
terson the cleverest 3-year-old on the
elope now that : m the Ascot
Park Derby. And it is natural that they
should. But Walter Jennings and his
friends will have to see the Melton colt
whip Confederate before they concede
that he is better than the Bridgewati r
cole. Confederate has shown some class
?ince he went West. Tho first timo out
at Ingleslde, students of the dope will re?
member, Confederate took the measure
of the shifty bear catcher In a ;evon
furlong sprint. Bear Catcher has b-cii
In good form this winter. The Cal'for
rilans declare that ho is the best .-pruiter
ever. He made Confederate run In 1.20 1-2
to bent him. That Jennings thinks weil
of Confederate Is evident from the fact
that he has made many valuable dates
for tho colt. Wpodford Clay will long re.
gret that ho entered Confederate In n
selling race at Gravesenil cheaply enough
to give Kansas Price a chance at him.
But Price will not get much fun out of
Confederate's achievements hereafter,
since the Brldgowater colt has fallen into
tho hands of his arch enemy, Jennings.
BURKE TALKS OF
TRIP TO ENGLAND
4 ' ? . t,
SYDNEY, Mrncll 3.?Mr. James Burke,
the well-known .Australian sporting au?
thority, who recently visited England,
has arrived home safe and well, and Is
now engaged in giving his impressions of
sporting affairs in England. In an inter?
view he said: "Of coirse I was In my
element against the billiards of England,
who treated me right royally. Dawson.
as If to show what Improvement he had
made since his return from Australia,
greeted my first visit to Thurston's Hall
by putting up the rocord break of tho
season eo far?515?in his game with
Inman. I also hail the pleasure of seeing
Dlggle put up his season's record against
Harverson In the $5.000 tournament at
Burroughs & Watts' billiard parlor,
where I'esquired by our robust champion,
Fred Weiss. Billiards Just now in Eng?
land Is not only more popular than it
has ever been before, but there are a
greater number of skilled exponents, both
professional and amateur, than have han?
dled a cue since the days when Antony
and Cleopatra crossed cues; whilst the
money that Is made by the professionals
Is almost Incredible."

As a betting preposition, nobody seem?
to think much of tiro Nolsnn-MeOovorn
fight. Of course, the fact Hint there, la;
to be dectolon by the referee Is a sort
of a damper to speculation, but In a
light that hns nttrncled as much atten?
tion' as this one, It Is rather strange
that nobody seems to havo heard of
any bating.
As n mntter of fact, that fight Is a
bad one for gambling. You go out in
the street and ask any man you meet
what he thinks of It, and he wilt teb
you, nine times out of ten, "Oh, the
dona will get there, all right."

It Is a different proposition. On tie

hope he will rnihor than think so.
On the whole, there is too much rhane
of either boy getting over the heeded
wallop to encourage speculating. There
Is a generally growing belief that Nelnon

Neither hoy Is a defensive fighter, so
thnt makes It a case of who gets there
.first. If it goes the full six rounds Nel?
son will be almost certain to have had
the botter of the fighting.
This'unnatural stillness from Joe Gins
will probably continue Indefinitely. Mr.
Gar.s has done all he could to make
trouble, and, having done all he could,
ho will now b? quietly relegated to a
nice little berth, where he can sleep in
peace and quiet.
I don't look for a thing to he stirring

McGovern-Nelson fight. Then I rim go?

him, and Nelson will probably come to
the same way of thinking after a while.

Is why the layers keep what are known
as "sheets"; but when it becomes nee
sary to prove that bets have hr<>n made
contrary to the letter of the law, prom?
inent legal experts say that It will turn
out to be a most difficult task.
Sifting the matter down, turfmen do
not believe that the rm-e tracks can be
closed, Inasmuch as they have cut off
I venue from the ring; consequent?
ly they draw the conclusion that there
will be no successful movement to put
a stop to speculation between Indlvld
unls?hence a continuance of the sport in
this State under the present flourishing
conditions. Furthermore, turfmen feel
reasonably sure thnt the various agri?
cultural i societies tip the State, which
usually Vui up the annual Stato racing
tax, amounting to about $209,000, will not
view with favor any attempt to kill the
game which has grown to be Immensely
popular with both classes and masses.

NEW YORK, March 3.?Entries for the
A. A. U. championship events, to be
decided at the Pastime Athletic Club

the country In this event, and will havo

BOXERS DEVISE SCHEME

BOSTON, March 3.?Boxing promoters
who want to perpetuate the sport In tho

holding bouts In athletic clubs for "mem?

much longer, have devised a new way
to get around the law. Th^v havo
planned, in case of an emergency, to
organize a number of "physical culture
schools," at which pugilists can give "ex?
hibitions" for tho Instivctlon of "pupils,"
who will pay a feo at the door to enjoy
.this privilege.- The promoters of modern
Athens have been informed by legal talent

would be tied hand and foot. Inasmuch as

The Pianola Piano enables every one to obtain all
