The Olympic Club’s Swimming, Boxing and Baseball Matches. The local champions of handball have g hot shot at each other for some s past, and not very long ago Cham- pion Harlow woke up one bright and sunny morning and repaired to the house f a friend, to whom he said he had had a most wonderful dream. 1 dreamt,” said Champion Harlow, hat I met and easily defeated Champion | rdan, and that my friends went wild | with joy over the result. I feel now as if | I was really qualified and competent to ac- | complish that trick under the light of | day.” Harlow’s friend acquiesced and the re- sult was that a challenge appeared next day from Harlow to Riordan, which more | than took the latter by surprise. Riordan | in reply sends the following to the CaLL | for publication. SaN Fraxcisco, April 21, 1895. | Editor San Francisco Call—DEAR SIR: In refer- ence to the article published in your sporting column of to-day’s CaLL, 1 wish to state have positiveiy declined to play any game of handball in the San Francisco handball court. In regard to Hariow’s challenge, I | will agree to meet him best five in nine, 21-point_game, for 100 or $200 per side, | game to be played in the Union or Occidental Fendball courts have my own money to back me whenever the former sees fit to makea match. Yours respectfully, JOHN RIORDAN. The lovers of handball cannot under- stand Riordan’s action in refusing to in the San Francisco ball court. If Rior- | tainly agree to meet Harlow in any of the courts. There is no doubt that he will be accorded fair play in any court. Lawlor, the Irish ehampion, who is at cresent in New York, has accepted a cnal- enge from James Fitzgerald of Cork, Ire- lnnfi. to play a rubber for $250 a side and the championship of the world, the rubber to col t of fifteen gamesand each game to contain 21 aces, to be finished in one day in the Cork racquet court, Grattan street. The challenge appeared in Dublin Sport on April 6, directed to the leading players of the world. Henry Armstrong of J.J. O'Brien & Co. bas just received a letter from Lawlor, stating that the latter has accepted the challenge for a match where endurance will cut a prominent fig- ure, and that he will soon depart for his native country. Grattan court is 84 feet in length and 41 feet wide, haviug no back wall. L. W. Blankman of Potter Valley has sent word to the CALL that a man named Ryan is engaged in killing deer for their hides. To escape from the heavy snow on the mountains the game have wandered into the valley, and are now being slangh- tered by Ryan and other poachers. There is_no doubt that Commissioner Emeric will send a deputy to the place in question when he receives further particulars. A special meeting of the Olympic Gun Club will be held in the wheelmen’s com- partment of the club on Wednesday even- ing for the purpose of discussing a game and fish P)ré%!\'o. The Olympic Club boxing tournament will be held in the gymnasium of the club on May 28. It will be open to amateurs in good standing. There will be six events of four rounds each.¥Only first-class boxers need apply for place. The Imperial Club of Colma has matched Joe King and Henry Peppers (colored) for a twenty-round fight, to take place on the evening of May 26. The pngilists have ned articles to box at 158 pounds, which weight it is extremely doubtful that eitber | man can reach and be in good fettle. King recently left this city for Bakersfield, where he engaged in farming for a time. His employer sent word to the champion 'boxer of Bakersfield—a blacksmith—that he had a raw recruit on his ranch who could do some fighting, and that he would have no objec- tion to match him against any man in the county. The “iron man” quickly ac- cepted the challenge and a fight was arranged. It took place in Bakersfield, and Mr. Blacksmith went Fently to sleel in the second round. The latter's friends are still wondering who that plowman could bave been and where he made his escape to aiter the war was over. The Olympic Club tournament will take lace on the evening of May 21 and the| Ei.ll of aquatic fare reads: One hundred yards’ open race, 100 yards’ maiden, 50 ards’ open, fancy diving, iving, tub race, candle race, guar- ter-mile race. Superintendent en- nedy, alias Lin uist- Tom, is now talking upa Telay race from the foot of Mission street to the Oakland mole, a distance of about four miles. Kennedy is of the opinion that there can be selected from among the natators of the club ten able. bodied fellows who can give a good ac- count of themselves in a race of this kind plain against any ten amal State. 4 dan had broad-gauge ideas he should cer- | MADDEN WHIPS CONNORS, Twenty-Five Rounds Fought Before the Seaside Ath- letic Club. FOR BANTAM CHAMPIONSHIP. Fitzsimmons Thinks He Is Not Be- ing Treated Right by the Florida Club. CONEY ISLAND, N. Y., April 22— There was only a small crowd at the Sea- gide Athletic Club’s arena when the sports began this evening. The first bout was between Alf Hanlon of England and “Shadow’’ Maber of Australia. They were matched to box six rounds. Maber was declared the winner on points. The next bout was between Jake Skelly of Brooklyn and Johnny Gorman of Long Island City, eight rounds at 127 pounds. The fighting was hot and it was declared a draw. The big event of the night was then in order. It was a twenty-five round go be- tween Johnny Connors of Springfield, IlL, and Jack Madden of Brooklyn at 105 pounds for the bantam championship. Madden seemed to have a shade the best of the early rounds, though in the sixth round both were bleeding at the nose and in the succeeding rounds it was give and take in a lively manner. In the eleventh Madden’s stock went up again when he jabbed Connors five times without a return. Madden had the fight | in hand from this time on, though Connors | made a game attempt to force the fighting | in the twentieth. Round 25—Both men clinched, and Mad- | den led with his left, but was stopped. He sent his left into Connors’ stomach with- | out a return. Madden jabbed Connorsin the mouth three times, and got in the wind with his right and left on his opponent’s | jaw. Throughout the fight there seemed{ to be something wrong with Madden’s right hand. The referee declared Madden the winner. FITZSIMMONS COMPLAINS. He Says He Is Not Being Treated Fairly in Florida. NEW YORK, N.Y., April 22.—Bob Fitz- simmons expressed the belief that Joe | Vendig is trying to give him a shade or | two the worst of it in the arrangement for his fight with Corbett. ‘“Manny” Friend, who represents Fitzsimmons, said: “Qur money is up, but the Florida Ath- letic Club has not made its guaranty of $5000, and unless it does so shortly we will take decisive steps. It looks as though | they were a little bit afraid that they can- | not pull off the fight and want to crawl. | “We understood that the money had been postea long ago, but to our surprise Stakeholder Phil Dwyer says it is not. “If the Florida Athletic Club thinks it | can peddle this fight about and dispose of | it where it wants to it will get fooled. We | shall have something to say about that. | ‘We are ready to fight, but certainly want all the parties to live up to the articles of | agreement, which Vendig has not done.” CORBETT WANTS THE FIGHT. He Will Meet Fitzsimmons in Any Statein the Union. CINCINNATI, Onio, April 22.—Referring to the hitch with the Florida Athletic Club Champion James J. Corbett, who is filling | a week's engagement here, says: “I will meet Bob Fitzsimmons in any State in the Union. Joe Vendig has my permission to transfer the scene of opera- tions to Texas, Colorado, Louisiana or any other State. I will meet Fitzsummons be- fore any club in the country, but it must be for a purse. I will not go out of Amer- ica to take Fitzsimmons on, and if it is not possible for us to come together here, I will go to England and fight Peter Jackson. “He has first call for a meeting on for- | eign soil. I once refused to go to London | to settle with Jackson, and if I took Fitz- simmons there he would have the dead- wood on me and say: ‘He was afraid of me. He would not meet mein London.’ It is any place in America for Fitzsimmons and any place in the world for Jackson. That is my platform. Iheard that Fitz- simmons had his money up, but this is the first intimation I have had of trouble for the Florida club.” SPECIAL THURSDAY RACE. An Important Event for Horsemen at Montgomery Park. MEMPHIS, TESN., April 22.—A special race, which is sureto prove the most in- teresting event of the spring race meeting at Montgomery Park, is announced te- night by the New Memphis Jockey Club for Thursday, April 28.

GRASS VALLEY, Can, April 22—A competitive target shoot took place Sun- day at Sheridan range, one mile from this city, between teams of men from Company D of Auburn and Company H of Grass Valley, before more than 1000 spectators. The range is pronounced by experts one of the best in the State, being fitted with tel- ephones and every required convenience. A strong northeast wind was blowing and greatly reduced the score. The Company D team made a total score | of 383, and was beaten by only eight points, the result being in doubt until the last man shot. After the shoot Company H drilled in honor of their visitors.

LITTLE LESTER CAMP, A Poor but Charitable Woman Offers to Give the Incurable & Home for a Time. The publication by the CALL of the facts in connection with the deplorable case of Lester Camp, the eight-year-old incurable, now at the Children’s Hospital, has borne good fruit. It will be remembered that the officials of the Children’s Hospital recently no- tified Secretary McComb of the Humane Society to remove the child, as no one siood ready to pay the charge of §3a week for his support. Mrs. Gurley of 148 Sixth street sent a let- ter to Secretary McComb yesterday notify- ing him that she would take care of the child for a month at least. ‘I would keep him lonier if my means would permit, added she, “but in that time, perhaps, some good man of wealth will take Les- ter’s condition to heart and place him above want until he is called hence. You may send the child to me at once, and for %10'“' weeks at least I will take good care of im.’ Secretary McComb is still looking for |’ the boy’s father, who is working in the city somewhere. 1f he can be found pro- vision will be made for keeping the boy at the hospital. Like a Machine, ‘Which kept in order runs smoothly and regularly, 80 the bowels keep up thelr action if measures are taken tokeep them In good working order. This infers, of course, that they are out of order. The surest recourse then is to Hostetter's Stomach Bit- ters, a laxative mild but effective, which Is alsoa teur swimmers of the | organized, and the club’s membership is | remedy for dyspepsia, malaris, rheumatism, nerv- ousness and kidney trouble. CARS THAT CARRY DEATH, The Combine’s Trolleys Are Examined and Are Found Wanting. VIOLATION OF THE LAW. The Civic Federation Proposes to Prosecute the Com- pany. The Civic Federation, which has been reorganized, provoses to prosecute t}le Market-street Railway Company for vio- lating the laws made for the protection of life and limb. The federation held an a{l— journed meeting yesterday afternoon in assembly-room, Mills building, at which L. J. Truman presided. g The committee on appointment of spe- cial committees to perform the work of the federation as outlined in the planadopted at the previous meeting reported through Rev. E. R. Dille the following names: Civic fedueation—H. N. Bevier, George T. Ga- den, M. 8. Woodhams, J. K. Jones. Enforcement of laws—E. R. Dille, J. M. Rey- ;mms M. V. Samuels, C. O. Burton, Mrs. R. M. French. Municipal affairs—I. J. Truman, Wallace Bradford, E. McClish, C. C, Terrill. Police Department and Police Court—Thomas Filben, D. Gilbert Dexter, C. O. Burton, Hobart Chetwood. Elections—M. Lowenstein, M. McGlynn, E. B. Stewart, M. P. Boynton. Sanitation_and public ssfety—J. Cumming smm._iurs.x.. P. Williams, Dr. Hanson Irwin, A p. Rev. Mr. Filben reported that the com- mittee to whom was referred the matter of levying an assessment had decided that it was impracticable to levy one at this time, but suggested the appointment of a finance committee to raise funds to carry on the work of the federation.’ The chair named the following as the finance committee: E. R. Dille, C. C. Ter- rill, H. M. Bevier, J. Cumming Smith, D. Gilbert Dexter, Thomas Filben, George T. Gaden, M. P. Boynton and Chairman Truman. Rev. Mr. Dille suggested that the feder- ation ought to issue a folder in which should be set forth the objects of the asso- ciation, and that such & document would be of much value when the finance com- mittee called upon citizens for assistance. Mr. Terrill said that the printing of these folders would involve expense, and that he was opposed to contracting any more debts until former obligations had been m et. Rev. Mr. Filben was of the opinion that the cost of printing would be small, andas it would be one method of raising means to xs:eet debts pending, itshould be author- ized. It was after some further discussion de- cided to print the folder of information, and H. N. Bevier, George T. Gaden, M. S. Woodhams and J. K. Jones were named as a committee to grepare it. 5 John M. Reynolds, who was appointed af’a previous meeting to inquire into the killing of persons by streetcars, reported that he had made a careful study of the subject. He then read order 2072, which provides that all streetcars shall be pro- vided with fenders of a triangular shape, and that such should not be more than one and one-half inches above the track. He said that he had visited the Board of Supervisors and found that the pattern used by the Market-street line was the one generally approved. At Market and Third streets he took the number and measure of fenders of Iortfi cars and found that not one had a fender in compliance with the law. He called on the Mayor and requested him to have the ordinance enforced. He also wrote a letter to the Mayor and one to the Grand Jury on the subject. He at- tended the inguest over the body of Eugene H. Langford, killed by an electric-car on Kearny street, andffurnished a list of ques- tions to ask of witnesses in order to estab- lish the fact that the cars did not have proper fenders. : In conclusion Mr. Reynolds said that the motorman had been charged with man- slaughter and that he had asked the Grand Jury that an indictment_ be presented against H. E. Huntington, W. L. Willcutt and T. H. Vining of the railroad company for gross negligence in failing to provide means on their cars to prevent life from being crushed out of human beings. He said that if the Grand Jury did not act some one should take steps to have these persons prosecuted. He said he also asked the Grand Jury to cite the Mayor and the Chief of Police to explain why they did not have the law about fenders enforced. Mr. Reynolds’ action was indorsed and the report referred to the committee on enforcement of laws with power to act. It was further added that the committee should push the matter with the utmost vigor. Mr. Terrill said the federation should do something to compel the authorities to have the cars construct triangular fend- | ers, as required by the ordinance. Such, he said, would turn people who might fall in front of a car to one side. They might injure, but would not kill. Chairman Truman said that he had been summoned before the Grand Jury and ex- plained the danger of streetcars. IN MEMORY OF FROEBEL. Birthday of the Educational Reformer Remembered by Pastor Steb- bins. Frederick Froebel’s birthday was remem- bered at the First Unitarian Church Sunday morning. It was the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the birth of the great German apostle of the kinder- garten system, and* many ladies interested in this method of education were in at- tendance. The occasion afforded the pastor, Rev. Horatio Stebbins, an opportunity to make an effective application of the lesson of Froebel’s life and work. He said: Michelet calls Froebel the greatest teacher of children and the greatest reformer of teachers. After & period of more than 100 years his in- Auriss s beginging to be felt;Asatined ndyer 10 cease. Froebel’s genius invented a series of employments, wonderful, unique, simple, yet based upon the fundamental principles of the human mind, and his conception of education is gradually permeating the air of common opinion. ‘When it was Bicposed to introduce the plan here & School irector said he did not want to turn the school into & nursery. The prejudice was s0 great in some quarters that it iook a pious turn and played an important part in a mean church fuss. There is more religion in Froebel’s system than there is in some church creeds. Froebel himself was a God-intoxicated man and affirmed that all education was founded in religion. The W.
