10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, ‘OCTOBER 1, 1895. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Malo Diablo Was a Big Sur- prise, Winning at Odds of 50 to 1. POOR DAY FOR FAVORITES. Claudius Easlly Disposes of the Field In the Last Race at Com~ fortable Odds. Carmel refused to break, and the field was finally dispatched without him. Shaw on Johnny Payne got a very poor start, or the brown horse would: undoubtedly have shown up better. Johnny Coleman of the Stuyvesant 2Club backed Malo Diablo for the piace, getting as good as 8 to 1 against his money. Peoples is getting quite a reputation as a rider of long shots. On Friday last he landed Phyllis in front at odds of 60 1o 1. Candor, the favorite for the last race, ran most disappointingly. To all appearances she had enough of the game before the stretch was reached. Wiltie Flynn is riding in fine form at present, and it is to be hoped the cleyer young rider’s name will remain untarnished from the breath of scandal in the future. Edwin F. Smith of Sacramento, who was selected by the California Jockey Club to act as one of its officials, u 4 his position in the rda; Mr. Smith is well and favor- n as the energetic secretary of the Itural Society end is very popular s of horsemen. among all ¢ Cairns, the steeplechase jockey, Who & few weeks back imbibed too freely of the cup that mebriates and rode in a race under the in- fluence of liquor,at which time he was sus pended, was reinstated yesterday with the proviso that if the ofiense is repeated he will The experlment was tried yesterday of running M Diablo in blinkers, with most - gr: ing results for that horse's| constituents.

The favorites were | arreled with great precision, Rey Altd, | who won the second race with nothing to spare, proving the only successful cne | throughout the day. Elmer F, who opened at 7 to 5, went | back in the betting to 214 to 1 and finally | closed at twos, led all the way in the open- ing race at six ongs, with Willie Flynn | up), and won ridden out, a neck before ‘the | choice Nzvy Blue, who was | d. Le next event, a five-furlong dash with light welter-weights up, was also on the Pros ional order, Rey Alta, the2to1 fa- | vorite, leading ail the way and winning | driving from Model by three-fourths of a | length in 1:02 flat. Soon Enough, who | carried some heavy commissions at 4 to 1, proved a aisappointment. The fourth race, a selling event over a mile, resulted in a hard dumo for the | crowd. Nephew was backed for a cinch, Opening at 7 t0 10 he went back to 7 to 5, when he was played down to 9 to 10. Morven, with I-‘Iynn up, went to the front, and Jeading all the way, just managed to last long enough to beat Nephew, who made a fine run from last place, a nose on | the wire in 1:413{. The winner was3to 1 | in the ring. Despite the fine showing Claudius has made of late, he was overlooked by the majority of speculators on the last race, | also a mile selling dash. The Brutus horse opened_at fours, and as good as 214 | to 1 was obtainable against him going to the post. Rosebud opened a 6 to 5 favorite in’ the betting, but receded to 334 to 1. Candor was favorite going 1o the post at 7 to 5. - Olivia, a 25 to 1 chance, made the running, followed by Rosebud, until weil on toward the wire, where Claudius, who bad worked his way from last position, | passed Rosebud, who had taken the lead the last hundred vards, and w alength and a half in 1:41. Olivia was but a head back of the place horse. 3 | | | Elghth day, Monday fair; track fast. 3 * FIRST RAC Six furlongs, selling, three- DD, yearolds and upward: purse $250. Time, 1514, September 30.

Bargioni and F..Scaiina, who were arrested in Golden' Gate Park on Sunday for “coasting’” with their bicycles, were each fined $10 by Jndge Low yesterday. O. Wehner and A. Small, who were ar- rested for the same offense, appeared in Judge Joachimsen’s court. hey were represented by Attorney Coffey, who con- tended that the cases should be dismissed, inasmuch as the rules passea by the Park Commiissioners against ‘‘coasting” could not be enforced, because no penalty for their infraction was nm\vidad‘fre Captain Thompson asked for and was granted a continuance till to-morrow to enable the attorney for the Commissioners to look into the point.

Thought to Have Originated From a Spark Dropped by a Pass- ing Engine. Golden Gate Park was recently visited by a fire that burned over five acres of young pine trees and ornamental shrubbery, and was with the greatest difficulty brought under control. It had reached the most beautiful portion of the park, abounding with large, handsome trees and rare plants, before it could be checked. Had not the fire been so promptly and actively fought the injury to the people’s pleasure-ground would have been irreparable. The origin of the fire is a matter of speculation, except to the mounted policeman who first discovered it. He asserts that he simply put two and two together ann assigned the cause to a | spark from the engine that passes by on D | street, en route to the Cliff House. The burned district lies adjoining D luck in the Russian River, where excellent sport is now to be had, as will be seen by the following letter received a few days nfo by A. V. La Motte from Louis Johnson of Ukian: Thave had excellent success near Guerne- ville. Iaid nottake any very large ones; the largest would not exceed three and a half Egnnds. but some six and eight pounds have en caught this season. ‘ne weather was ufiflnn me for two days, as a strong north wind was blowing, and every one knows that under such conditions fish do not bite freely; however, 1 landed eleven beautieson Friday, the 20th, and three more Saturday afternoon. Idistributed them among friends in Ukiah, who pronounced them superior to any fish in California waters. I noticed thousands of the young fry, which indicate that the bassare getting the best of the worthless kinds, such as carp and hardmouths. They are plentiful now, but will be in abundance later on if dyna- miters are prosecuted and protection given in the proper season. James Gibbs has returned from Lake Tahoe.

Barry is training at the Bakersfield Athletic Club. The Colma Athletic Club expects to have as its next star event a match between “Saylor” Sharkey and big Miller of the San Francisco Athletic Club. Alexander Greggains is of the opinion that Millercan whip Sharkey handily. B ST. DOMINIC'S OHURCHE FAIR. Owing to Its Success It Will Be Con- tinued Until Friday.

Forseveraldays past there has been”a united and deter- mined effort on the part of those who still remain faithful to their old leader to rally around him enough men to make 2 re- spectable showing, but as far asevents have developed signal failure has been the result. 7 The meeting of the general committee, which is called for to-morrow night, will determine whether Buckley is to have any hand in managing the local affairs of the party or not.

He immediately remembered that the spark- emitting engine going toward the cliff bad passed only a few moments before, and | gave the alarm. Ail the police on the park force responded. The fire had started in the straw and refuse taken from the race track to enrich the soil there and keep the sand down.

ALL - AROUND SPORTING, The Special Match Field Trial Race May Be Held Near Olema. Something About Wefers,the Cham~ pion Sprinter—Black-Bass Fishing. Sportsmen are becoming very much inter- ested in the coming field trial race between Howard Vernon’s pointer Glenbeigh and Mr. Crocker’s English setter Reds Chaff. The latter is being handled by Wadell and not Walters as previously stated. All- ender who is attending to the pointer is of the opinion that the race will prove the most interesting field event that has ever taken piace west of the big mountains. It has not vet been decided where the con- test will be held, but in case Bakerfield is not selected, in all probability the race will be decided on the Country: Club’s preserve. It is hoped that the Marin County grounds will. be chosen by the owners of both dogs, &s the ride to Bakersfield is both tiresome Xeople interested in the sport will attend from this-City. Both dogs are reported as being in tip-top condition. Wefers, the famous amateur sprinter ‘who gave his'Englisn competitors a favor- able opportunity of seeing his heels in a sprint race a few days ago when the cham- pionship of the two countries was at stake, was born in Lawrence, Mass., twenty-one years ago. - He stands 6 feet and a fraction in height; and when in ¢ondition weighs 165 pounds. In 1893, while in Boston Col- lege, he performed the feat of winning four firsts during the Boston College Holy Cross intercollegiate games. In March, 1894, he won the New England champion- ship 75 yards in 74-5 seconds. In this race he ran away from Garcelon, the Harvard crack sprinter. His last per- formance of any note in New England was in last July, when he won the 100-yard dash at Newton in the morning in 10 1-5 seconds and then took the train for Nor- chester and defeated Burke and Bigelow, two famous amateur sprinters, in the 120- i;nrd dash. In this race Burke led Wefers y six feet at the 100 mark, but the now champion amateur sprinter of the world wund out by a most wonderful burst of speed, S ‘Wefers’ best records are: 25 yards, 3 2-5 sec.; 50 yards, 5 sec.; 75 yards, 74-5 sec., lUOrarda, 9 4-5 sec.; 220 yards, 21 4-5 sec. Welers was a poor starter and an awkward runner until Mike Murphy, a well-known Eastern trainer, took him in hand and drilled him for the international contests, where he won great honors. Wefers is also a first-class football player, and Yale ahpd Pennsylvania are both anxious to get im. .

HE WILL BACE IF TEWS Henry Peterson Leaves To- Day for the Big Austin Regatta. All the Great American Oarsmen to Compete In the Champlon= ship Events. Henry Peterson, champion oarsman of California, starts for Austin, Tex., to-day. On his arrival there he will go into train- ing for the great annual regatta, which takes place there every year. All the star oarsmen in America and Canada will be on hand, but the California boy is not afraid but what he will be able to hold his own against the best of them. Peterson has been preparing for his de- parture for over a week. He has thoroughly overhauled his racing shell and it is now slung to the roof of the freight car in which it will go through to Texas. The oarsman had his ticket purchased, his trunk packed Henry Peterson, the Oarsman. and evervthing prepared for an early start last night. - He was awaiting a telegram {rom ‘the managers at Austin to tell him that all. the arrangements down there had been perfected before he left. 2 At the regatta held in Texas last ‘year Peterson was quite successful and brought a number of valuable prizes back to San Francisco: with him. He expects to do even better this year and is aiming at the championship of America. “I am in better condition physically - to-- day than I ever was in my liL." said he yesterday. “When I get to Austin 1 will have four weeks in which to train, but I do not think 1 will require that length of time as my work as a boatman always keeps me in vretty fair shape. Theregatia takes place next month and I think 1 will be pretty successful, ‘One thing is sure Iam going to do all in my power to up- hoid the California end of it.. I may go into some of the professional lPnir and four oar races, but cannot tell until 1 reach the gronnd."' Peterson is strong and sturdy. He has filled out considenily since his last race nnl}i should give a good account of him- self. b, ——————— Italy has the highest murder rate of any country in the world. “There will be no meeting to-night,” was the response to inquiries at the lonely clubhouse on the hill. The meeting, it was said, would take place to-night. Be this as it may, Buckley, with his necessary escort, entered the clubrooms at 7:40 last night, but it must have been lonesome for him, as there was no evidences of the old-timé surroundings of a political gath- ering. Iugspeukin of the situation yesterday a well-known Democratic leader said: There is no hope for Buckley. The decent people of the Democratic party are & unit against him, and there are many reaspns why those who would 1ike to join him dare not do so. But the principal reason is that all can see that it is impossible for him to revive any tithe of his former power. The committee is against him, and he and his men will undoubtedly be slaugntered on every proposition at the meeting of the com- mittee on text Wednesday evemn% Times have not been good with Buckley. It it even said that nhe has placed a $10,000 mortgage on his ranch lately. He is very anxious to resume business at the old stand, where the corporations can find him. But his time has come and it will be a sad day for his following if they make themselves con- s{flcnons at the meeting of the committee on Wednesday night, for thev will not, in that event, be forgotten by the winners. All of the strong forces are against him. Daggett of the Mint will have nothing what- ever to do with him and all 8f his forces will oppose Buckley and vote to & man for Watkins for chairman of the committee, the office on which the vote testing his strength will be made. Revenue Collector Welburn and all of his forces have been against Buckley from the beginning. Collector Wise and his forces will fight and are fighting him bitterly. With very few exceptions all of the active ( leaders of the general committee are for Wat- kins; and Flynn, Buckley’s candidate, is now considering the advisability of quitting before the vote is taken. One of Buckiey’s lieutenants who was at the meeting of the Occidental Club last evening says that the rooms of the or- ganization were crowded with Democrats from all parts of the City, and that the coming fight for the control of the Connt?' Central Committee was discussed from all points. He denied that Buckley was pres- ent, and said that the meeting was an in- formal affair and that the Iroquois Club was not mentioned in his hearing. No chairman for the County Committee was settled on and no business done. HIS PROTEST DISALLOWED Thg Racing: Board Décides . .Foster’s. Position - Is 2 ‘Untenable.. Jones, Long and Cushing Awarded . the Prizes Won Admission Day. ~R.. M. Welch, representative "of ‘the Racing Board, has received a letter from George D. Gideon of the National Racing Board sustaining Referee: Cole’s. decision at San Jose September 9, at. the ‘meet “of | the Garden City Cyclers: L - The matter has occasioned . considerable talk among wheelmen.- Briefly stated, the case was as follows R The event was a one-mile scratch, class B, gpen, contested in two trial heats and: & fimal Foster, Allan Jones, Robert L. Long a Russell Cushing qualified'for the final. A tan- dem was put in the final to make pace. The track was a third of & mile.” Jonés caught the tandem, with Long, Foster and Cushing {n the order named. His wheel breaking. Cushing withdrew before the completion of the first lap. The tandem made the psce very fast. When a little less than half & mile had been ridden Joneslet the tandem get away. - No one tried to catch the tandem, and the cntire field of three slowed down. A& the riders passed the grand stand at the comiiencement of the third lap they were merely balancing on their wheels, meanwhile talking among themselves. The audience of over 5000 people expressed their disapproval by hisses and groans. The final lap was ridden in this manner un- til the riders rounded into the homestretgh, when a dash of about one-eighth. of a mile én’ sued, Foster winning, Jones second and Long third. The referce declared it no race and or- dered it run over. Foster protested and re- fused to ride in the run-over. - He now appeals from the referee’s decision. In the runover Jones won, Long second, Cushing third.- * As the prizes were valuable unset dia- monds the men were naturally anxious to know what stand the racing beard woula take, Inrendering his decision Mr. Gid- eon says: Itis claimed on behalf of Foster that there was no time limit pl d on the race; that there was no obligation on the part of the riders to hold the tandem, but that they were at liberty to ride the race in such manner and in such time as they might see fit; that the referee had no warrant under the rules to de- clare the contest no race, and therein ex- ceeded his authority. The only reason ihat could be assigned for g:wlngutimo limit on a paced event would the anticipation of collusion between the pacemakers and contestants to keep the pace slow. So far as the contestants are concerned it mlxbe assumed, and this does not seem a forced or unreasonable construction, that pace- mskers are Kut_in as the alternative for a time limit, and that the authority to say whether in his opinion the contestants tried to ride up to the pace set is possessed by the referee in & like degree with that authority expressly con- ferred by the ruleswhich permit him to decide whether contestants have endeavored to ride within a fixed time limit. It would be absurd to say that the general powers conferred on a referee do not permit him to determine whether a race has been ridden in a manner compatible with the obligations of a contestant to the race promoter and the public. Track rule 21 provides in the following lan- uage, that “Competitors may dismount dur- ng a race at pleasure and run with their cycles if they wish to.” But would any one ussert that it is not within the province of the referee to determine at any time whether conditions warranted such action? In tne case under consideration the referee had the authority and it was hisduty to decide whether the race was ridden in a manner to entitle the con- testants to the prizes offered, which, it is un- derstood, were_exceedingly desirable ana up to the highest limit of value permitted by the rules. The appeal is dismissed and the decision of the referee sustained. Fully approved, September 24, 1895. ‘GEORGE D. GIDEON. He accompauies this decision with the following letter to Mr. Welch, representa- tive of the racing board in California: LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEX. s Office Chairman of Racing Board, September 24, 1895. Mr. R. M. Welch, Rep. L. A. W. Racing Board, San_Francisco, Cal.—DEAR MR. WELCH: I re- turnherewith the protest of W. F. Foster from the decision of the referee. Your construction of the rules is fully approved, as I believe that a referee should be given by us every power possible and his decisions indorsed whenever they do not absolutely conflict with the rules, As 1o this case, I had & precisely similar one on Saturday at our national circuit meet here in a professional event. Eaton caught the tandem, with Sanger right behind him. The pacing 'was too hot for Eaton and he slowed, Sanger not noticing that the tandem was gemng away, but going by as soon as he did an making Tather & fecble effort to catch the tan- dem. Failing this, the entire crowd slowed up and loafed a hali-mile, and I then called the race off and started all over again. As to your five class A men at Chico, I think there is ho doubt but they should be promptly transferred to class B. Very truly yours, GEORGE D. GIDEO: Chairman L. A. W. Racing Board. As the matter now stands, therefore, Jones, Long and Cushing are awarded first, second and third prizes respectively, while Foster gets nothing. The decision is very valuable as a precedent, and will result in fewer if any loafing races in the future. GOING 10 THE BIG FIHT, Local Sports Are Seeking Low Railway Rates to Dal- las, Tex. The Santa Fe Quotes a One-Way Rate and Waits for the Southern Paclfic. Local sports are waking up now that Oc- tober is here—the month in which Corbett and Fitzsimmons have promised to meet at Dallas, Texas. There was a consultation among several of them in a Sutter-street resort yesterday as to ways and means to reach Dallas from here. The result was that a committee headed by Messrs. Tobin and Williams went over to the Santa Fe office to see what that company proposed ta do for the boys who desired to make the trip—always assuming that the event is really to come off as arranged. Assistant General Passenger Agent Speers promptly promised to make a on way round-trip rate if any &umber otfe sons proposed to make the trip. is would cut the rate down to about $60 in- stead of $90, the figure which has been quoted all along. He promised to do this on condition that the Southern Pacific people would make the same rate. The party then went over tothe South- ern Pacific and saw General Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman. When they told him what Mr., Speers had promised he asked that Mr. Speers be sent for. That official appeared promptly and ratified the committee’s storv. The aspect of the sit- uation made things a trifle awkward for Mr. Goodman, for the Santa Fe man hav- ing a line into Dallas_could more readily agree to a rate than Mr, Goodman, for the Southern Pacific has to make use of the Texas Pacific to reach Dallas. Mr. Good- man promised to confer with the Texas Pacific officials and to let Mr. Speers know the result. All the lines in the East are quoting a one-way rate for this event. So is the Southern Pacific from New Orleans to Dallas. The circulars of Eastern roads announce special rates for three great events to oc- cur in Dallas_hetween October 15 and 31. One is the National General Missionary Convention, another the Texas State Fair, and the third “‘the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fistic exhibition.” ————— YOUNG TO BE BURGLARS. A Newsboy and Painter’s Apprentice and Their Fence Arrested. Two boys, 17 years of age, were booked at the City Prison yesterday on the charge of burglary. One is William Tucker, a news- boy, and the other William Carey, a paint- er’s apprentice. Tucker is charged with having entered the residence of Mrs. Noonan, 7 Noe street, on September 25, and stealing two watchesand some jewelry and silverware.

The watch was recovered -from Niemi. Niemi was arrested for receiving stolen goods. The arrests were made by Detective. Cody and Policeman G. H. Graham. ————— A . DEAL 'IN STOOK. G. Platt Complains in Court That 2 . He Was a Victim. A. G, Platt. brought suit in the Superior Court yesterday to recover on a note for $2500, -with interest, claimed to be due from H. B. Havens. Havens, it is alleged, i3 or was president of the Crescent Mining Company, and in consideration of the loan of $2500 agreed to give Platt an option on 12,500 shares of the stock of the company for §5000. Certificates for half the number | of shares were given him, and ss many more placed in his care. . When the note fell due on August 21. last Havens sent for Platt and agreed to- pay.the note with interest for the return of the certificates of stock. Platt agreed, whereupon ‘Havens said the stock had been sold for an assessment of 10 per cent. Havens did not pay the note, and Platt alleges that the assessment was a manip- ulation to defraud him. ——————— Our Society Blue-Book Now in Compi- lation—Season 1895-96.
