Interest in the election, ' the recent merger decision and the war. In. the far east. Is not-half so acute as the excite ment which pervades the loeaKfans re garding the outcome of today's ball game at Bakersfleld,, Cal,y between the Portland Browns and the famous Chi cago Nationals; One would naturally think: that the close of the baseball sea son In the fall would end the baseball talk until the following season, but such Is not' the case In this .city. The Portland fans are unlike any other fans; they , want baseball every day of the year and the "fraction thereof.. Since the close , of the-1903-season until the present time it Is safe" to say that there has not been a day during which base ball has not i been discussed. The as sumption la that people would tire of the .gossip, but aucb. Is -not tha case: The last game was hardly finished In 1903 before the fans began to lay plans for this year's tfeamr Fred Ely was Im portuned to secure nine stars, and the clever manager responded by garnering together a band of players that will be a credit to the profession, and that will faithfully represent this ;lty In the race for pennant honors. Today's game promises to be a first- class exhibition. Chicago is playing In fine form and only yesterday defeated the strong Los Angeles team In an ex citing 14-inning contest For Portland ltjs Manager Ely's intention to use But ler, Shields and Thielman. Iterg may be sent In against the Windy City boys, and still If ;'Qld Reliable Ike" gets off all right, he' may finish the game. At any rate, Manager Ely will take no chances in the pitching department, but will use it he man who can pull the game out It may be predicting a whe lot but the signs today are favorable to Port land's success. The lineup will be the same as published in yesterday's Jour nal!

New Tork, March 16. If there was any doubt that the racing season is close at hand a visit to the Long Island tracks, especially Sheepshead Bay, would soon dispel the doubt. Never a day passes . that a company ; of . thor oughbreds calculated to delight the heart of the racing man is not seen either on the tracks or on the fine Long Island roads,, being broughtinto condition for the opening of the spiring campaign. One day this week I had the pleasure of seeing among others Waterboy, Africander, Hamburg Belle. Ormonde's Right, Consideration, Crown Prince Ort Welles, High Chancellor, Savable, .Jo cund, Golden . Maxim, Francesco, Mc Chesney, Major Dalngerfield, Himself, Mamie Worth, and a score of others known throughout the land wherever the dope sheet is studied, out for -exercise.' Never have I seen thoroughbreds in better condition at this season. They have all wintered well without exception, and soon will be fit to face the starter. Everything points to royal sport for the season of 1904. The season in the east opens Thurs day, March 24, at Bennings. About 800 horses are already on the ground, and training has gone on almost without in terruption for a month' past. This num ber will be augmented by the New Orleans contingent, and owners around New Tork are shipping the horses In tended for this meeting every - day. Stable accommodations will be at a premium within a few days, and already horsemen are engaging room outside of the track. The track itself is in fine condition, and should the First Bennings handicap be run over a fast track, a new six-fur-long record is not unlikely. The new Columbia course has settled considerably since last fall, and except that It is rather sandy, will show to good ad-t vantage. Special attention Is being given to the steeplechase course, that branch, of the sport being one of 'the greatest attractions at Bennings. The Bennings handicap, with its 70 entries, is already interesting horsemen, and a Wager at odds of 6 to 1 was made in an uptown hotel the other day that John E. Madden would finish the win ner. Madden has three entries Pulsus, 11S pounds; City Bank, 112. and Robin Hood. 109 AU. the handicap candi dates are expected to be on the ground by the end of next week, and interest in the event will quicken when a more defi nite line on the probable starters Is ob tainable. The field Is sure to be a large one,- perhaps the largest that ever started in the event Two Starters at Bennings. The provision of the Jockey club, that two starters must be in attendance, will be put into effect at Bennings for the first time, It is probable that Mars Cassldy, who has been the starter at Bennings in the past, will be the actual starter, while Mr. Fitsgerald will be in readiness to officiate i if necessary. Mr. Fitzgerald will in all probability be substituted during the last few days of the meeting, in order to allow Cassidy to get ready for Aqueduct No official schedule has been prepared for the starters, and both will have to be in at tendance every day, tintil some further arrangements made.-?- - At the coming meeting at Bennings steeplecbaslng will be made more of a feature than formerly. There will be races of this kind on Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays, which will provide for 10 events. Steeplechasing is im mensely popular In Maryland and Vir ginia and In cities near Washington, so that thill branch of the sport will be of J particular interest to tne smart set Several Canadian stables will be repre sented, also one or two of the larger es tablishments that devote their time ex clusively to the development of timber toppers. . - One of the most Interesting bits of racing gosip of the week Is the , an nouncement that James R. Keene has se cured first call on the ervices of Jockey Oeorge Odom for the season at an an nual stipend of $12,000. and the usual fees for winning mounts. The little Georgian is one of the best riders on the turf today. He is steady and per fectly reliable, and is in the game from start to finish. With Odom up the "white, blue spots" may be depended upon to take its full than of the good things of the season. While it is impossible at this time to make an authoritative statement that W. K. Vanderbilt will race In America this season, signs are multiplying that he has this in mnd. The latest Is the authorisation of William Lakeland as Mr. Vanderbllt's agent , While Mr. Lakeland's agency may only Include the purchase of horses, the report is per sistent that it means the re-entry of the popular millionaire railroad man and sportsman into the game on this side of the water. , Substantial, Durable and Lasting RACING SEASON Our barbed wire and wife net ting is iht very 'best made.
