Manager Watkins announced last night

that the Indianapolis club will secure the services of Pitcher Jack. Pfister for the coming season. This will be good news to the Indianapolis enthusiasts in view of the recent announcement that the national board of the Katlonal Association of Minor Leagues had awarded Pflster to the Spo kane club on the ground that Spokane had a contract with Pfister that antedated-the Indianapolis contract. Manager Watkins received word from Secretary Farrell about two weeks ago, as announced at the time in the Journal, to the effect that Pfister had been awarded to Spokane. The Indianapolis manager did not like the idea of losing Pfister, but he could not make a fight for him. He immediately opened negotiations with the Spokane club and has closed a, deal whereby the Indianapolis club will pay Spokane $500 for the release of the pitcher. Pfister was with the Columbus team a part of last season, and last fall Manager Watkins signed Pfister to an Indianapolis contract for the coming season. After the contract was sent to Secretary Farrell and it was believed that Pfister rightfully belonged to Indianapolis the national board followed its usual course of giving Indianapolis the worst of Its decisions and awarded the pitcher to Spokane. Since the deal has been made with Spokone the pitcher will be ordered to report here and is expected In Indianapolis early this week. Second only to the cornerstone laying of the new federal building will be the flag pole raising in center field of Washington Park next Wednesday afternoon. Dignitaries attended the laying of the federal building cornerstone last week because It was a national building. Dignitaries will be present at the raising of the flag pole from which will float the 1902 pennant because the game Is the national sport.

Emil Fertig, president of the Rooters Club, will make the address as the flagstaff is being placed in position. Around him will be gathered the other members of the Rooters' Club and the thirty-third degree fans. Ed Rosenberg and his crew of knockers will raise the pole and Mayor Bookwalter will dump the first shovel of dirt around the pole. Mayor Rookwalter will also make a short address, in which he will tell the fans "What I Don't Know About the Game." There will be music, as the management has requested R. O. Hawkins, Ed Campbell, Stoughton J. Fletcher and H. S. New to sing "In the Good Old Summer Time" as the pole is being lifted Into place. The management has guaranteed the members of the quartet ample protection from those present who might not appreciate good singing. A large crowd is expected to be on hand and a transportation committee composed of Chalmers Brown, George W. Bliss, Hugh J. McGowan and John.Mllnor will provide ample transportation. XXX The Central Baseball League has adopted Us schedule, which is published In this issue of the Journal. The schedule has been severely criticised by the Anderson and Marion club owners because it calls for twenty-eight straight games at home In those two cities early in the season. What a shame the Central League did not elect a president who is capable of preparing a schedule and not leaving the matter to others for a paltry prize of $50. President Bement announced that the schedule would not be released until Sunday, March 29, but the president has made other promises, and the breaking of the last one was not a surprise. XXX The exhibition series will open this week at Washington Park. In addition to the game on Wednesday the New York Nationals Will play here on Friday and Saturday. The New Yorks engaged in spring practice in Georgia and are now playing exhibition games in Various cities en route to Indianapolis. The New Yorks will have the advantage of good training when they arrive here, while the Indianapolis team will enter the game with less than a week of training, but the games should be interesting. On April 10 and 11 the Pittsburg Nationals will play here. XXX The little colony of ball players already in the city assembled at Washington Park yesterday and did some light work. The men are anxiously waiting for warmer weather' when they can begin their work in earnest. Tom Williams, one of the best of the Indianapolis pitching staff last season, has joined the colony and is In excellent condition. Cloud Gouzle, a nkely looking young inf.elder from Pittsburg, has also arrived. Many of the players will reach town to-day, as they are scheduled to report to Manager Watkins to-morrow. XXX The in and outfields at Washington Park are In beautiful condition. They have been roiled and are as smooth as a billiard table. The ground keeper and his assistants have been busy for several weeks getting the field In condition, and yesterday was spent in cutting the grass. Think of it, cutting grass in March! But the grass grows faster at Washington Park than at other places in the city, as the fans gather there early and their hot air talk has a wonderful effect on the grass. The twenty-eight new boxes are ready to receive callers. The boxes have been painted greeen. XXX President Hlckey will mall to the various club owners in the American Association this -week the playing schedule for .1903. Th8 schedule Is somewhat belated on account of the president's trip to California and because it required much time to prepare the schedule In order .to have as few conflicting dates as possible with the Western League in Milwaukee and Kansas City. This was one of the stipulations of the peace agreement made last fall. M. T. II. S. Defeats Law School.

Yale defeated cvirrthrim at baseball on the Fordham grounds to-day by a score of 5 to 2. New York Defeats Memphis. MEMPHIS, March 28. New York Na tional League, 5; Memphis, 2. Baseball Notes. Gochnauer, of the Clevelands, is strongly opposed to the foul-strike rule. Harry Bemls will do the bulk of the catching for the Cleveland team tnis year. The Conroy-Ferrls exchange was balked by Ferris, who refused to leave the Boston club. Pitcher Edwin Quick Is reported as hav ing jumped Toledo and signed with the out law Portland (Ore.) club. The Cleveland batting order will be the same as last season, Bay leading off. Brad ley doesn't like to bat second. Manager Jimmy Callahan thinks the club that beats Cleveland out wili win the pen nant. That's an easy guess. The Cleveland team will bo the heaviest team in the arena this year, and, therefore, worthy of the name of " Giants." Charley Dougherty, the old second baseman and short stop of the Milwaukee club, when Charley Cushman was manager, has returned to Milwaukee after three years' service in the Philippines. He is looking for an umpire's berth. Manager Armour, of Cleveland, has already closed with Campau for the use of the New Orleans ground next spring. President Ban Johnson will be on hand when the new New York ground is opened, April 30. and will throw out the first new ball to the umpire. The Washington club will not move from its present park to the old League park, owing to the fact that it would consume fully $15,000 to make the change. Manager Griffith Is putting his men most of the time through batting practice. The foxy manager realizes that this year's race will be to the swift and strong. W. T. Van Brunt, who is now permanently located in New York, says that the sale of his St. Joseph railway interests has ended his active connection with baseball. The appeal of the Louisville club to have the Cassldy case reopened his been turned down by the national board on the ground that the new evidence offered made the original finding more perfect. Tom Loftus has given out the Important Information that the Washington club will not be sold to local people this season, as he and President Postal have decided to continue their control under advice of President Johnson. President Gordon says, the New York team will cost $60,000 for salaries alone, and the grounds will cost fully $100,000. Nevertheless, he says, he could now sell his franchise ! for- $300,000, so much public confidence is felt in the success of the venture. Catcher Charley Farrell,. not having received a contract from Brooklyn, thus beiSS,r?Leasd from reservation, has signed with the Boston American club. The veteran will doubtless strengthen Colllns's team in its only mediocre department.

The boxing shows that have been given

during the past year by the Indianapolis Athletic Club brought together high-cias?s men in the bantam, feather and light weight classes and the club refrained from matching men heavier than lightweights until such a time that two first-class box ers heavier than 133 pounds could bo brought together. In tlie main bout of the boxing carnival to be given at the Cyclorama Rink next Wednesday evening two 150-pound boxers will go ten rounds for a decision. They arc Hugo Kelly, or Chicago, acknowledged the best man of his weight in the country to-day, and Harry Walsh, the Canadian champion. While Kelly and Walsh, were matched to enter the ring at catch weights each will weigh in the neighDornooa or 10- ikjuiius when Via ctpnq into the rlntr. They are both good fighters and in addition very clever boxers. Under Indianapolis rules they rnut box for a decision on scientific points, as sinciHner Is not nermitted. They will box under straight rules and must protect them selves in the breaks. The records of Kelly and alsh snow tnat ihfv hoth have met and defeated the bet men in their class, among them being Mike Schreck, Rube Ferns, Owen Zeigler, Chicago Jack Dally and many others. After slfrninrr nrtlripa to box Walsh in Indian apolis on April 1 Kelly received an offer of a 3500 purse, witn privilege oi a Dig per cent, of the gate receipts, to meet Mine rhrprK apnin before one of the St. Louis clubs on April 2. but it was necessary for the St. Louis ciud to postpone us snow because of Kelly boxing here on April 1. K-oiiv'a RtvlA nf boxlntr ar:d liehtinff is said to be very similar to thit of Tommy Ryan, the middleweignt cnampion. n was Ryan who discovered Kelly's ability and helped train him for many of his bouts. Ryan visited Kelly's training quarters in Chicago last week and told the Chicagonn that he should be aDie to gain me ueciuu over Walsh. . . . The seml-wind-up of six rounds between Patsy Hogan, of Chicago, and Jack Ryan, nt indinnanolis. is attracting nearly as much interest as the main contest. In dianapolis men know liogan s ability, as he outclassed "Louisville" Tommy West at the Empire Dec. 3L Ryan and Hogan fought a ten-round draw several weeks ago and they will bcx for a decision on Wednesday night. Hogan is said to have the best punch, but Ryan has cleverness, speed and shiftiness. They will box under straight rules. The twlr four-round preliminaries will bring together local boxers, who will be able to put up fast contests. The advance sale of seats will be opened to-morrow morning at the City Club, and seats will also be sold at a few other downtown places. Many orders for seats wero received last week, a party of Greenfield men ordering forty scats. The first preliminary will be given at 8:30 and the entire programme will be completed by I0:o0 or 10:45. The full programme of bouts follows: Kid Robinson vs. Jimmy Adams, four rounds; Lawrence Clark vs. Art DfMman, four rounds; Patsy Hogan vs. JacK Ryan, six rounds; Hugo Kelly vs. Harry Walsh, ten rounds. When Young Corbett and Terry McGovern are called to the center of the ring in San Francisco next Tuesday night to receive instructions from the referee before beginning tho twenty-round battle -for the world's featherweight championship it is very likely that the fighters will not shake hands. This formality was broken when Fitzsimmons and Corbett fought, and when Young Corbett and McGovern met in a cafe in San Francisco the other night they refused to shake hands. They say they are going to fight for the championship, and neither likes the things that have been said about him by the other. That the fight will be "on the square" and bitterly contested is not doubted, even if a Milwaukee man did send out a report last week that he had Information that the affair had been fixed for Young Corbett to win in the seventh round. The efforts of & certain sporting writer to make the public believe that the Jeffries-Fltzslmmons battle last July was a fake is still well remembered. Naughton based his assertions on the word of a woman who had said that she believed Jeffries would win in the eighth round. As the fight ended in th eighth. round Naughton claimed the fight had been prearranged for Jeffries to win in that round. As the fight was a llmiteü round battle it was not surprising that some one should guess In just what round there would be a winner. That is the way the public regards the Milwaukee report. The Milwaukee man wants to appear "wise," and he has sent out reports that Young Corbett is to win in the seventh round. Many bets have been wagered throughout the country that the battle would not last ten rounds, and there have Deen probably hundreds of men who have picked Young Corbett to win in the seventh round. If the champion should win in that round there will no doubt be "I told you so" sent broadcast by the Milwaukee man. Sam Harris, manager of McGovern, is too wise to fix a fight for Young Corbett to win. With McGovern again the champion he would make thousands of dollars for Harris, while if Young Corbett wins next Tuesday night the public will realize that McGovern is not Young Corbett's equal in the ring. Those who witness the battle will probably be able to tell if it has been fixed, but up to the time that evidence shows there was collusion the public will believe that Corbett aad McGovern will battle Tuesday night "on the square," There appears to be something very elastic about the different divisions of weight limits. Corbett and McGovern.are to battle for the featherweight championship, but they will both be lightweights when they face each other In the ring. Lads who really are In the featherweight division should battle for that title and not men who are j several pounds above the limit. xnere is mucn local interest in me Dame. Odds posted In this city favor McGovern, but only a few bets have been made. There will be a special midnight show at the Empire Theater on Tuesday night and reports of the battle will be received by special wire and read from the stage. XXX Referee' Graney, who officiated at the Corbett-Hanlon match, Is of the opinion that if it comes down to brains and cunning Corbett will make a show of McGovern. Graney has told the San Francisco people of the tactics employed by Corbttt when fighting Hanlon. Graney said the little champion never lost his head, and at times when he was so tired he could hardly stand he would make Hanlon believe that he was fresher than a daisy. Then, too, he talked so patronizingly that Hanlon got hot under the collar and alrjost lost his head, and Hanlon, Graney said, is not the rattle-brained fellow that McGovern is. Headwork will count for a great deal in the battle between Corbett aud McGovern next Tuesday night. XXX B. H. Benton, of Boston, Is one sporting writer who picks O'Brien to whip Fitzsimmons. He says: "Fltz is a pretty shrewd matchmaker, as past experience has shown, and he knows how to get plenty of free advertising. Admitting all this. I insist that he Is going against one of the shrewdest men living, when it comes to matchmaking or making a deal for a boxing contest. In this same Jack O'Brien. Of cne thing I am certain, and that is that O'Brien will be only too glad to make the match If 1 at all on the level. I know that o linen will not have the least difficulty to make the middleweight limit, while on the other hand.
