BASEBALL TOMORROW SOAR ABOVE AIL OTHERS LOCAL PIN BUGS JOIN BIG BUNG1 JOHNSON AND KETCHEL, WHO ARE PATCHED FOR TWENTY ROUNDS After Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight champion, bad seen the moving pictures of the Johnson-Burns fight he was more eager for a match with the big negro than before an lost no time in signing a contract to meet Johnson at the Colma Club, San Francisco, on October 12. So anxious was the hardhitting "Montana Kid" for a try at Burns' conqueror that he was willing to concede the 20-round clause, which Johnson insisted upon, rather than let the chance escape. Johnson and Ketchel are to deposit $5,000 each as a forfeit and are to split 50 per cent, of the gate receipts on the basis of 65 per cent, to the winner and 35 to the loser.

(Special Correspondence. Lynchburg, Va. April 16. Lynchburg's Virginia State League team, the best aggregation yet played by Elmira's State League Colonels, fell easy prey to the onslaugh of the New Yorker's heavy hitters yesterday anc lost to Elmira 11 to 8. The game was a veritable hitfest In which Klmira clouted out 16 salties, several of them tor extra bases.

Lynchburg landed for eleven hits but couldn't make them count for the necessary number of runs to win. Six of the eight runs made Lynchburg were made off Powers, a youngster of the visitors staff who presided in three innings, the sixth, seventh and eight and gave seven of the local's eleven hits. He was not effective at all and was removed i the ninth in favor of Andrada win allowed no runs. Schmidt who worked KAISER WINS lira FROi PflOL BOWSER Jamestown, April 16. Charles Kaiser of Oswego defeated Paul Bowser of Monaca, in a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match here last night, demonstrating his superiority throughout.

Up to last night Bowser never had been defeated, but against Kaiser he never stood a ghost of a show of winning. CATCHER POWERS IMPROVING FAST Philadelphia, April 16. The condition of Catcher Powers of the Philadelphia (American League) baseball club, who underwent an operation for gangrene poisoning of the intestines, is improved, and he has a good chance for recovery. It was first thought that the popular catcher's indisposition was due to Indigestion, but the physicians eay that Powers' injury probably was i sustained during play of the game.

I In the early part of the contest between Boston and Philadelphia on Monday Powers went after a hard foul ball and the physicians say he probably hurt himself in the action. MATCH POSTPONED The wrestling match between JIc-Wade and the "Terrible Toung Swede," (whoever he Is) which was to have been held tonight at the Rialto, has been postponed to next Friday night. The wrestlers have a $10 side bet up, they say. Improvement, as to styles, can expected at this repository. A resuit of constant study, combined with experience and every effort to keep ahead.

This is the cause of our steady progress and thereby, we are -styled the leaders of the carriage fashion. Our goods are all standard, built with care, by men who know how. West Water St. Friendly Nos. in the first five innings gave but three hits while working.

The El-mirans had the game sewed up in a sack by an overwhelming score untii Tynchburg's batsmen got after Young Powers. The work of Brothers at third and his batting was the feature of the game. His fielding was perfect and sensational and be hit four times in five times up, one being a two bagger and one a three bagger. The Colonel have the best hitting team and one of the fastest outfits seen here this year, not excepting the major leaguers. Lynchburg team is managed by "Al" Orth a former New Tork American pitcher.

I Ml I I I I I ml It NEGRO MUST FIGHT OR LOSE HIS ItJEY New Tork, April 16. Jack Johnso should decide at the last moment sidestep Stanley Ketchel the way he has dodged the fight With Sam Lang-ford in London, it would cost $5,000 in cash which Johnson has already posted with Promoter James Coffroth to guarantee his appearance in the ring Johnson has no forfeit up for th Johnson has no forfeit pu for, the Langford mill so that it was an easy matter to duck out of it, but before Coffroth would take the negroe's woru or even allow him to put his name to articles of agreement he compelled the posting of the above amount.

The odd part about this Johnson-Ketchel match which has caused no end of talk both here and abroad, is the fact that the big negro would not egree to forty-five rounds demanded by Ketchel. Johnson insisted that twenty rounds would be enough and ingeniously explained that because of Ketchel's size and weight a shorter bout would prove more attractive to the sporting public. Some people waste time and spend money for journeys, while- others stay home and telephone. Which is better? The wide scope of the Bell Telephone system enables you to talk one mile or one thousand. Elmira will see its first game of baseball at Maple Avenue Park at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon when the Academy team plays the Corning Free Academy lads.

Ames struck out ten men, but did not last as well as Wilhelm. The fielding of Fletcher, Birdwell and Sebring was brilliant. Fletcher played in place of Doyle, who has not yet signed his contract. McGraw was sick and not on hand. The first hit of the game was not forthcoming until the eighth inning.
