THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1895. LOWERS A WORKD'S WHEEL REGORD. ALLAN JONES' SPRINT ON THE NEW CEMENT TRACK AT SAN JOSE. SUNDAY MATINEE EVENTS. A RUMOR THAT ZIEGLER May BE ExPELLED FRoM THE RoaD CLuB. SAN JOSE, March 24.—San Jose was the scene of some excellent bicycle races to-day, both on the track and road, and that the new cement track of the Garden City Cyclers is all that has been claimed for it was attested by the fact that in the first race run upon it Allan Jones broke a vorld’s record in the handicap sprint, ance one-third of a mile, going in seconds. Wheelmen from headed for that all about San Jose turday, the major- ity comi sco to attend the great Saturday night, which was a grand success in every particular. Late hours were kept, but all were up to see the San Jose Road Club’s 5-mile han- dicap roadrace at 10:30 o'clock, as it was known a great effort was to be made by McFarland to lower the record. That he did not ed was due to the poor condition of the course owing to recent Tains. the nineteen men entered, fifteen started and twelve finished. G.

C. Hunter of the Olympic Wheelman announces that Ziegler will not ride on their relay team, even if he is eligi- ble, as they have ten fast road-riders with- out him. It is rumored that Ziegler will be expelled from the San Jose Road Club for his desertion of it for the Olympics. A rumor was current in San Jose that Allan Jones would be put in class B by R. M. Welch of the racing board, but how he had overstepped the bounds of class A was not stated.

PRIZEFIGHT NEAR SAN JOSE. 5 sec., C. Jarman second, Two Local Pugilists Settle an Old Grudge in the Ring. SAN JOSE, March 24.—Tom Dougherty and Ed Madden, two local prizefighters, engaged in a mill at the Rialto saloon on the Alum Rock road near this city atan early hour yesterday morning. There was bad blood between the men over a woman, and they agreed to fight it out in approved style. About seventy-five sporting men of the city were present. The volice interfered and compelled the men to fight with sev- en-ounce gloves instead of kid gloves, as they had intended. Dougherty weighed 140 pounds, having nineteen pounds the advantage of his opponent. Queensberry rules were observed. It was a game fight from start to finish. Four clean knockdowns were scored, two by each fighter. Dougherty punished his man terribly on the stomach and Madden took off his gloves and gave up the fight at the end of the tenth round. 3 Dougherty was cut up considerably about the big fellow indoors for a few days longer all danger will have passed. Sullivan has been confined to his room for four days, and on Friday night his condition was con- sidered serious. 1 A. M.—At this hour John L, Sullivan is resting quietly. NEW YORK, March 24.—It was re- ported to-night that John L. Sullivan was dying in Boston. Champion JamesJ. Cor- bett was seen, and when told of the report he said: “I can hardly believe it, for I had a telegram this afternoon that there was no danger of his death. Poor John. He was his own worst enemy. But with all that, he was the best man of his time. He was the greatest fighter in his time that ever lived. He is an older man than 1, and T am content to represent my time; let him have all the credit for his. “The only trouble with Sullivan was that he did not know how to take care of himself. If he had taken care of himself he would have been as good a man to-day as ever. “I remember the lick that knocked him out. 1 was glad to win, but when I saw Sullivan lying on the ring there I felt awfully sorry for him, and the thought came into my mind that some day I would be in the same position. You can say that I was sorrier for Sullivan’s con- dition than words can express.”’ THE RACE ANNULLED. The Valkyrie I Disqualified for Not Car- rying Her Side Lights. NICE, March 24.—Saturday’s race be- tween the big cutters Ailsa, Britannia and Valkyrie I, which Ailsa won by about three miles over a thirty-mile course, has been annulled by the racing committee. The commander decided that both Ailsa and Britannia crossed the line before the firing of the starting gun. Valkyrie I, which ar- rived at the finish at 7:30 o’clock, was dis- qualified for not carrying her side lights after dark. Bicycle Racing at Fresno. FRESNO, March 24.—The ten-mile bicy- cle race at the Fair Grounds this afternoon was won by John Herwick, who hada minute handicap. The best time, 29:40, was made by Claude Schaffer.

NEW ORLEANS, March 24 —Baltimore 15; New Orleans 4. CHINAMEN WANT A OHANGE. They Will Ask Chief Crowley to Remove Don Gong as a Special. As has been said, “the heathen Chinee is peculiar, Sergeant Christianson of the Police Department is fully aware of the fact. For several years Don Gong, a Chi- nese, has been assisting in upholding the laws of the United Btates, California and San Francisco, but for that reason his countrymen desire him removed. Don Gong is a slick little Chinese, who | knows the ins and outs of the dens of | Chinatown. Heis pai day give: rmation to the police which could not otherwise be obtained. His own countrymen call him an mformer. The police “call him a special officer. The “dodgers” Jook upon him as a detective. ‘Whether he is an informer, a cial flicer or detective ‘‘cuts no ice’’ wi the | ix Companies nor any of the multitude | mprised in the make-up of the monopoly. Eis removal is about to be demanded, and will be backed by the statement that his mere présence in Chinatown is a detriment to business. Some of the individuals who comprise a portion of the Six Companies have adopted the American idea of presenting a petition to the authorities that Don Gong be re- moved from his source of information at once. This petition has been signed by number of merchants, and hasbeen turned over to the head of the organization with the request that the same be handed the Chief of Police, with an official desire for his removal. Sergeant Chrisiianson learned of the movement and took a trip through China- town with the limb of the department. Only at one place which they visited would the proprietor admit that he had signed the paper calling for the removal of Don Gong. Nevertheless, the petition has been passed by the Six Companies and will be sent to the Chief of Police this morning. It is not at all likely that Don Gong will be removed, as he has proven himself of great value to the department, and islooked upon as one of the most law-abiding China- men in the colony. ————————— SPRECKELS' STRING. The Horses Will Race at the Los An- geles Fiesta. Among the strings of racers that will participate at the Los Angeles race meet- ing during la fiesta week will be the big string of the millionaire owner, A. B. Spreckels. Among the well-known horses that will carry his familiar red, white and blue colors will be Cadmus, the stout- hearted son of Flood, who ran such a great race in_the Spreckles handicap, when he finished second. Gallant, the splendid son of Fellowcharm, who once low- ered Lissak’s colors. Pat Murph the speedy roan brother to old Tim will endeavor to keep his end up in the sprints. The black Australian mare Candid will make a strong bid in the distance races, and with Bridal Veil and a number of promis- ing two-year-olds will complete a very formidable string. All are well entered in the different events, and it is safe to say they will win their share of the purses offered. “ At _the conclusion of the Los Angeles meeting the entire_string will be shipped East, when big thiuss are expected of Cadmus, Piquante and the others in the different rich stakes they are entered in. ——————— GOOD RACING TO-DAY.

HEe DisLocaTeEs ONE oF His FIN- GERS—CHAMPION JONES’ CHALLENGE. John Riordan, the coast champion, climbed up the wall of the Union hand- ball court yesterday to return a high ball ball and in the effort he missed the ball and struck the wall instead with such force as to dislocate one of his fingers. Aftera few minutes’ delay he pluckily continued the game and won. The long-looked-for match, J. Nelson and J. Dillon of the Union court against G. Hutchinson and J. Lawless of the San Francisco court for $25 a side, was com- menced at the former court yesterday. The first four of the nine games were played and Nelson and Dillon succeeded by fine all-round play in winning three of the four. The concluding games will be played at the San Francisco court next Sunday. Jones, the Australian champion, had fully recovered from the neck twist he re- ceived the previous Sunday and _yesterday played a rattling game at the San Fran- isco court, against two old-timers, Pat Kelly and J. Kearney. Kearney, while playing, Tequires to be seen to be appre- ciated. When returning the ball his y assumes the most grotesque shapes, and sometimes it is difficult for an onlooker to decide whether he is attempting to hit the | ball with his hands or his feet. Jones de- feated them by three games to one. At the Occidental court an exciting match was played between P. T. Donnelly, the amateur champion and E. Maloney and T. F. Bonnet and John Purcell. The two latter won by three games to two, the concluding game standing 21 to 19. There will be another magnificent exhibition of handball at this court on Wednesday night, when J. C. Nealon and T. F. Bon- net will again attempt to defeat Cham- pions Riordan and Donnelly. W. McManus has, during the past week, considerably improved the Union - court. He has put'in an entirely new floor, con- structed under a patent from New York, and it has no superior in any court in the city. The players yesterday were all loud in their expressions of praise over the im- provements. 7 Handballers have been wondering why Phil Casey, champion of the world, ha: not paid his promised visit to the city. The other day Champion Jones received a letter from him_apologizing for his non- appearance, which had been unavoidable, and stating that he and Mr. Dunne would leave Brooklyn as soon as circumstances would permit. : Champion Jones is anxious to hear from Champions Riordan and Kelly, who chal- lenged him to play the best of nine games for $50 a side. He expresses his willing- ness to play in the San Francisco and Oc- cidental courts. ‘The Occidental Club has announced that a tournament for the team amateur cham- pionship of the coast will be commenced in the Occidental court on or about May 1. | | J.

My 152 SEVERAL MORE NEW CRAFTS BUILD- ING FOR LocAL YACHTS- MEN. The Corinthian Yacht Club yesterday took the first steps to open the yachting season by bringing their fleet from the lagoon, where they had been laid up in their winter quarters. Saturday evening quite a number of the yacht-owners went over on the last boat, s0 as to have everything in readiness to, pull out when the bridge was raised. After the 9:30 o. M. boat arrived from this city Port Captain Keefe marshaled his forces and proceeded to the bridge. The tackle having been bent, the word was given to heave away, but not a budge would the bridge make. Captain Keefe then sent a courier over to the clubhouse for the late comers in hopes that he would get such strong men as Joe O’'Brien. Frank Thornton, Commodore Tangent Cusin and Joe Tracy. When the muscular force had arrived the attempt was again made to it, but with all this additional strength it would not give way. Thena team of horses was brought into play with & successful result. By this time the ark and yachts were well up to the bridge, except the Elia, which seemed to be fast in the mud. The THE JOLLY CORINTHIANS LEAVING WINTER QUARTERS.

When the Clara bad cleared the bridge and preparations were being made to get under way, as a trip for Hunters Point had been programed for the day, it was found that her centerboard pefinant had parted, and after several vain attempts had been made to raise the board the yacht was beached. When at low water she will be repaired. | The Queen anchored off Belvedere,where her crew were seen scrapuui and working like beavers.

Donovan said that the mem- bers ot the assocration had been training for several weeks for this event, which would have been witnessed by at least 2000 spectators on_St. Patrick’s day if the rain had not interfered. e The tug-of-war was a very interesting feature and considerable interest was at- tached to itfrom the fact that the teams | which contésted represented on one side the powerful men of the Knights of the Red Branch and on the other side the pick of the football teams. The Knights pulled gallantly from the moment the pistol cracked until the finish and when the ref- eree announced the victory the ladies in the grand stand attested their appreciation by tge waving of handkerchiefs. The relay race would have proved a very exciting feature of the day’s games had there been a larger number of teams en- tered. However, the three teams that took part were composed of tolerably good ma- terial who made the rounds of the track in good style. The Emmet team won a com- paratively easy victory, however, owing, possibly, to the fact that the athletes had practiced assiduously for this particular event. - : The fpotball game was not as interesting as the friends of the sport had expectea. Some of the players of the teams that were announced to contest failed to put in an appearance and as a result two teams were selected from among- the piayers at hand. Some very excellent plays were witnessed during the hour in which the ball was kept moving, but interest in the contest among the spectators was lacking because the teams selected to contest had failed to materialize. The day’s sport on the whole was good and much credit for the manner in which the games were conducted is due to the untiring efforts of J. Dodovan, G. A. Browne, F. Palmer, J.J. Hurley, A. Mc- Inerney and J. Mellott. BIG SCORES AT SHELL MOUND THE OLD-TIMERS ARE BETTER SHOTS THAN THE RISING GENERATION. HeE WAS SEVENTH IN THE SAN FRANCISCO AND FIRST IN THE GERMANIA. The markers and scorers were kept busy at Shell Mound Park yesterday. The San- Francisco, Germania and Norddeutscher Schuetzen Vereins, several companies of the infantry and a company of the Naval Battalion were out in force. Many good scores were made and some of the old-timers beat the cracks of the rising generation. Philo Jacoby was not in as good form as usual, and only suc- ceeded in carrying off the seventh prize in the San Francisco Schuetzen Club’s bulls- eye shoot. ‘W. Ehzenpfort, one of the best-known of the old-time shots, was also out yesterday. He had his old muzzle-loader, with which, he used to win prizes thirty years ago, and succeeded in making a very creditable score. His right eye is not as good as it used to be, so he now uses his left in taking a sight.
