M. C. A. athletes wore to participate has not been definitely announced, and it requires something to Wake the I ports up again. The whfelmen arc training right along but more for the sake of "keeping in" than because there is much of anything in sight ior any other than those who are going K:t-t for the season. ft * ft Decoration Day is going to have something for the local racers anyway. The Los Angeles Wheelmen, under the direction of 11. c. Ford Smith, will give a race meet at the fjos Angeles Athletic Club PaTiC on that day. As large a prize list as ever given given ou thu Coast for a single day's racing will be hung up, and all the prominent riders of both classes oil the Coast will be here and several prominent Eastern riders of Class B.

It was decided to give a road lace on Monday, April Ist, from Pasadena to Monrovia atul return, a distance of iwenty-two miles. The L»- Angeles Athletic Club is endeavoring to secure an extension of the lease rtti Athletic l\irl;. II successful in /.•curing The ground, the wheelmen will in..1.1 a modern, up-to-date track. M-cy Sergeant Hopkins is to publish a ryeling journal solely in the interest of •.omen and to oppose the rational costume end tlie diamond frame. Los Angeles has one lady at las.t who is brave enough to

appear awheel on the Streets clad in I knickerbockers. ft ft ft Somcthiug about a well-known rider who will be in tbi.s city In a few days will not be uninteresting at tbis time. M. r. Pi in berger, Jr.. is a native of Buffalo, N. V., where his early life was spent and where he was studying law up to the time be adopted racing. Dirnberger, or "Mike," as he is generally known, is young and ambitious, and has served iv "many capacities requiring keen percent ion." lie was connected with the Gom ullv !.v Jeffery Manufacturing Company In '98, ; and bad a very responsible liosition with 1 them and under his careful guidance the . (i. & .1. racing colon lor '99 were paraI mount. It was in this year that Dirni berger rode a full mile on a horse track in I 1 :."ii. 11l '04 Dirnberger took charge of the Sterling racing team and was prei pared to rank witb the leaders, but while i training out on the coast be was stricken ! with a severe attack of malarial fever I which ruined bis chance* for the year. This attack clung lo bim Until late in the I fall of '94, and be was unable to ride at | all. He lost liftv pounds of solid meat during tbis sickness, und his friends gave him up tor good, but during the late fall und winter be shook off this terrible disease and has fully recovered and weighs 17.) pounds, and will race in '!•."> at 170 pounds. Dirnberger will make the effort of bis life this year and will endeavor t<i Obtain all the world's records, and there are many who think be will succeed. Dirnliergor is a very ■'beady rider as well us fast, and probably excels In this respect any man on the truck today. He is Possessed of a very even ami sunny disposition and is a general favorite. He will probably train at XI Paso and Louisville, and will ride for the A. Jf. Shapleigh Hardware Company of St. Louis and manage their racing team, all of whom will be mounted ou the celebrated ''Syracuse crimson rim" wheels. This team will use 28 wheels. 16 to 17 pounds weight, geared to 7.'. Zimmerman will sail for Australia next August to participate in the great races to be held there. Wheeler and Banker are soon to return to Europe and'will join | Zimmerman in Australia later <tii. | The membership of the League of American Wheelmen lias fallen off nearly 10,000 members during the last year, ami tbe officials and others who have the welfare of the organization at heart' are beginning to find a means to stop tlie slide. The world of bicycling is at present very much interested in the proposed i European tour of the Century Wheelmen. ! Philadelphia's crack bicycle club. It has | been decided that the "run" will be ' started ou Saturday, July 0, leaving this city by the steamship Southwark for Queenstown, li is expected that at least twenty members of the club will form the party, nearly that number having already joined the "European club." Persons Interested in bicycle racing arc peculating as to where the one-mile record will be placed this year. With decreased weight in machines, better tires, improved methods of pace-making by men specially trained for the work on tandems and triplets, special standing prizes offered by manufacturers for broken records, and more attention to training methods by the men themselves, some well-posted riders predict, that the figures will be close to 1:80 by fall. It is but three years ago that the figures stood 2:21. WITH THE HORSEHEN The Saiita Anita string leaves for Brooklyn on March loth. Key el Santa Anita and Sister Mary start in the Brooklyn handicap tbere.

This pacing stallion bas a world of speed, and notwithstanding that he has been used very extensively ill ihe stud, ho bas put in a big lot of heats In 2:10 or better won a majority of his races and is still looking for mors worlds to conquer. ft ft ft The following, from the Horseman, will be of interest to local horsemen, be cause it deals with horses wbo bave for the most part been seen on the local track quite recently. It is a list of all trotters who have made the mile in 2:10 or bettor: Alix, the queen, beads the list, having, during tbe last two seasons, trotted liven-ty-eight heats In 2:10 or bettor, fourteen of whioh were trotted in races, and the same number against time. La.-t season she trotted twenty-four heats in 2:10 or better, thirteen being time performances and eleven were made in races. Directum, tho kiug, ranks next, with twenty-one boats in 2:10 or better to his credit. Thirteen were made in races and eight were time performances, Last season be trotted but six heats in 2:10 or better. Nancy Hunks, the former queen, comes third in the list, with eighteen heats to her credit, all of which were made in exhibitions and dashes against the watch. That she could have taken a race record very close to her time performance is beyond doubt. AzOte falls into fourth place with ten heats in 2:10 or better. All were made in races, and all trotted last seuson. Fantasy, the champion 3-year-old trotter, and' the queen of the 4 year-old trotters, stands fifth in rank, having eight heats iv 2:10 to her creait, seven of which were made last season in exhibitions and trips against time. The only heat in a race to her credit was made as a 3-year-old in 1893, which stands today as the champion 8-year-old performance. Erratic Ryland T. comes next, with six beats to his credit, all of which were made last .season in races. Stamboul's six heats in 2:10 or better were all time performances, and as they were irregular under the conditions made were rejected, as was also the performance of Guy's; mile in 2:00 5-4. Both are still outside the extreme list. Alix stands in first place as regards the number of miles trotted in 2:10 or better in races, but Directum is a close second, and lacks but one heat in tying her record; both have the same race records and both were made in the third heat. Alix leads in the number of miles trotted in 2:10 or better in races during one season, and Directum and Azote arc a tie for second place, each having ten heats to his credit. i WITH THE FIGHTERS Fred Bogan, who was matched to fight Frasier before the Athletic Club on March 6th, writes the following letter to the sporting editor of The Herald, dated at the Hotel De Lyons, March Ist : Sporting Editor of The Herald: —I am .still out here training for my match with .lack Frasier. I went iv to sec F'rasier's hacker last night and he told me that he would have new articles of agreement for me to sign, the contest to take place two weeks from signing. It is to be a finish for $500 a side and a purse of $600. He also told me that there is to be another club in Los Angeles, and that the public of Los Angeles would sec good contests for good-sized purses. If this is a fact it will be a good move for this city. T. W. Lyons has an unknown out here whom be is willing to hack for from $500 to $1000. He is a tine, big-looking colored boy only is years old, weighs 175 pounds and is 5 feet" 10 inches. He is a good, clever fellow; I box with him every day. Ho is to be tried out with a big negro Sunday afternoon. If any heavy-weight wants to make a match he can find man and money at any time at the Hotel De Lyons, Mission Road. Fred Bogan. ft ft ft There is another hitch in the CorbettFitzsimmons tight arrangements. Fitzsimmons is in a bad way financially and has not been able to raise bis third installment of $2600 for the big stake, which was due on Friday. Fortunately for him Philip J. Dwyer, the financial stakeholder, is iv Florida, and this fact will give him some additional time in which to hunt up backing. He hustled about New York the greater part of last week trying to get former friends lo put up the necessary amount, but without success. Fitz is such a bard man to manage that they all fight shy of having business dealings with him, He has already had two managers during the past year his brother-in-law, Martin Julian, and Captain Glori—and Split with both ol them. However, failure to put up this third installment of the stake will hardly prevent a meeting in the ring, for Corbett lias declared that he would tight the lanky antipodean for satisfaction and a hum Ilar-button, if there is nothing else in sight to fight for.

A critic of Cliiiney, 111., with au unlimited vocabulary, Writes as follows ot Fitz--itutillpus' recent appearance in that city: "Professor Robert de Fit/. Simmons, tlie eminent lin virtuoso, appeared to a big audience al Iho Umpire last night. 'The professor has ears like wings on Rubens' cherubs. If looks as if it would be an easy task for Professor Corbett. to take bis ears in baud and hold bim against the wall while he hammers his face till it looks like au autopsy. He has joints like a stovepipe aud arms like dray slakes. Ho Wears at Iho south end of each arm a hand which resembles a porterhouse roast in area and form. He would never do to pose as a physical model before the academy—he looks as if he slept iv a folding lied." George I. Green, better known as "Young Corbett," arrived iv tbe city yesterday morning from San Francisco. He will remain here a few weeks prior to going East to join the Corbett Company. Corbett lias always manifested the keenest Interest in his protege, and iv his recent interview on the merits of the different lighters of the day stated that his namesake was the most scientific man of his class in the world.

11l speaking of the proposed contest between himself and Hilly Gallagher of this city, Green said that the whole matter was in the hands of bis manager and any arrangements which he might make would be satisfactory to him so long as he can reach New York before the 15th of April. It is generally conceded hy those who know the qualifications of both men that in case the contest is patted off Young Corbett will have to look well CO his luiiruls as Gallagher is a first-class welterweight and will make an interesting study for the best of them. He is a clever, game tighter and a very bard puncher. Green has only one defeat booked against him. He fought Paddy Smith at Roby, Indiana, twenty-nine rounds, when Champion Corbett who was in Green's cornet' threw up the sponge. Green had the Ugh! so well In his own hands at the end of fifteen rounds that bets oi three to

one were offered on him without takers, hut owing to his poor condition lie could not kopj, up tho pace and lost the decision. ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN Falkner's Famous Twenty-flve Mile Bicycle Run Clipped San Francisco, March 3.—The California twenty-five mile road record was broken at Sail taandro today by Walter F. Foster of the Olympic Club wheelmen. He made the distance in 1:12:55 4-5, which is U:8 1-5 below the record as made by Faulkner of the Acme Club two years ago. The occasion was the third annual twcnty-livo-mile handicap road race of the California Associated Cycling Club on the San Loandro triangle". The course was net in first-class condition, owing to heavy rains, and the riders bad to contend With a strong north wind. A. Schwall of the San Joso Roud Club, with an eightminute start, finished lirst. The race from the scratch was between Foster and I'lbrocbt, the Bay City wheelman, the latter setting the puce until the final spurt. The time for the first eight and a half miles was l»:22 27 4-6, and for sixteen and two-third miles 0:47 5 4-5 Seconds from the scratch. Twenty cyclists started and sixteen finished." Foster led Ulbrceht over the tape by 00:4 1-5. ON THE LOCAL DIAMONDS

The keatings and the Francis Wilsons Were Winners Yesterday

The Team* Have Heen Strengthened and the (lames Are drawing In Favor With the Sporting Public

Two Interesting games of ball were played at Athletic Park yesterday. The lirst, between El Telegrafos and the Keatings, resulted in a victory for the Keatings, they putting up a pretty fielding game and also hitting Horton hard and often. Horton seemed to be somewhat off in his pitching. The Keatings have strengthened their team considerably. Phil Knell, the old-time Los Angeles favorite, covered the left garden for the Keatings and covered himself with glory, making the star play of the game. Van Horn, Early and Wilson did the batting for the Keatings, and Hart did good stick work for El Telegrafos. The score is as follows: KEATINGS. A.B. R. B. B. S.B. r.O, A.

The second game commenced at 3:30 with the Wilsons at the bat, and was a very one-sided contest, the Boyle Heights being unable to do anything with Tyler's curves. On the other hand, the Francis Wilsons hit the Boyle Heights pitchers all over the field. The Francis Wilsons have a very strong team together now, and are putting up much the best game of the teams in the league. The Boyle Heights were Considerably weakened by the absence of Ward Chapman behind the bat, although Citmmings filled the place very creditably, considering he has had no practice in that position. Big Bill Tyler was at his best, and the Boyle Heights could do nothing with him. They made only live small singles. Early led in hatting, making three three-base hits and one two-base hit.
