6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6; 1895. OLO ELI'S SONS VICTORS, Close of International Events at the Manhattan Field. YALE'S COLORS WAVED PROUDLY The English Varsity Men Won Only Threes Out of the Eleven Ath- letic Contests. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 5.—The last in- ternational event of importance in the vear 1895 was decided to-day at Manhattan field when the sons of old Eli triumphed over the crack athletes from the English | varsity on the banks of the Cam and the blue of Yale was placed above the light blue banner of Cambridge in eight of the eleven events decided. The long list of victories on land and water, which were placed to the credit of the stars and stripes as against the British lion, and which made to-day an eventful one in the annals of sport, concluded by the establishment of a supremacy of the champion American college over the premier athletic varsity. It was a beautiful day, though a trifle cool, and between 8000 and 9000 persons paid for admission to the field and fully as many more availed themselves of the places of vantage overlooking the grounds. The arrangements were excellent, and a noticeable improvement over other athletic meetings was the absence of the usial horde of useless officials. The track and infield were in splendid condition. There was quite a buzz of ex- citement when the Cantab pair—Wilding and E. H. Lewin—came out for the first event, the 100-vard dash, which developed into a round of applause when Billy Rich- ards and Burnett followed in their dark jerseys with a big white “Y” on their breasts. The start was down out of sightof the press stand, but when they came in view at 50 yards, it was readily seen that the first event was Yale's. Richards and Bur- nett led the light blues to the tape; which Richards broke a yard in front of Lewin. Wilding was beaten off. Taking himas a standard, E. H. Cady, had the foot of the Cantabs in the hurdle race on the track, in American style of movable hurdles, and for once form was not a miss. At the fourth hurdle Cady had a slight lead of Bilkington, which he increased at the eighth, where Hatch also passed the light blue. Cady jumped better than he ever did before and beat Hatch by about four feet. The Cambridge crack finished a yard and a half behind the winner and knocked down three hurdles on the journe; Fitzherbert, the English quarter-mile champion, was thought to have a very | hance in the 300-yara dash, but the long-striding Briton was practically never | in the contest and Billy Richards landed the third straight victory for Yale, beating | Cantab’s second string, Lewin, by four | feet. Titzherbert was third, a yard behind Lewin. There was only one man in the half-mile run, from t to finish, and that was Fred seymour Horan, the Cambridge | president, who made all the running and won by eighty yards from the Yale repre- sentative, Crane. The half mile and mile yere virtnally conceded to the light blues, as Yale had no one fast enough for either Horan or Lutiens. The latter cut the pace in the mile to suit himself and the time, 4:35 3-5, was probably the slowest the crack 'varsity miler has done for a long time. This was the famous blue’s last appearance on the track, as he will be ordained for the min- istry on his retarn to England. Lutiens’ was the greatest miler ever turned out of the English 'varisites. The Cambridge second string, Lewin, again proved superior to the choice, Fitzherbert, in the quarter-mile run, and was also too good for the Yale pair, Richards and ‘Wade, though if the former had timed his effort better he might have won. It was a very exciting race for the last hundred yards. Lewin led at the furlong, with Ricbards second and Fitzherbert third. The Iatter’s powerful stride was bringing him up to the leaders round the bend for home, but when it came to the finish spurt the long Englith champion could not re- spond. Foot by foot Richards closed the gap between himself and Lewin, who was tiring fast, but, struggle as he would, the eon of Eli could not get even with the plucky Cantab, who won by barely two feet. This was the third and last event to the credit of the light blues. In the high hurdles, English style, with fixed hurdles, on the turf, Hatch turned the tables on Cady and won by six feet from Fletcher, the Cantab’s second string, who was a yard in front of Cady. Pilking- ton touched his fifth hurdle and gave up the contest. The high jump was a very mediocre per- formance on both sides. Johnson, the Cantab, was. the first to go out, with the bar at 5 foot 64 inches. Sheldon and <Thompson, the Yale pair, and Jennings, the remaining Cantab, all failed at 5 foot 914 inches. After a lot of tedious trials the bar was lowered to 5 feet 81 inches, and at this height Thompson scored another point for Yale. Both Sheldon and Jennings failed to go over and tied for second place on their previous jumps of 5 feet 73{ inches. The broad jump also wentto Yale. The shot and hammer both went to Yale, 100-yard dash, won by William Richards, Yale: R. W. Burnett, Yale, second; E, H. Lewin, Cambridge, third.

The unfinished trotting race of yesterday was won by Mamie F. The hali-mile dash, after a dead heat between Dew Drop and Fannie E, in 50 seconds, was won by Dew Drop in the same time. The mile handicap wasg won by Little Tough in 1:46, and the mile special by Rilver State in 1:43)4. The trot- ting race was unfinished e GIVEN A SEVERE DRUBBING. Clevelands Outplayed ihe Baltimores From Start to Finish. CLEVELAND, Onio, Oct. 5.—The Cleve- lands administered the most severe drub- bing to the Baltimores to-day that the Temple cup series has seen. Young was a complete puzzle to Hanlon’s men, and they faced him like defeated men from the first inning. The only chance the pen- nant-winners had to score was in the ighth inning, when they bunched three singles and Keeler crossed the plate. Te- beau’s men hit McMahon about when they pleased. Six of their seven runs were earned. Both teams put up a magnificent game in the field. The errors were excus- able. The crowd numbered nearly 15,000. There were more people on the grounds than in the stands, and a two-base-hit ground rule was made. This robbed Blake of a home-run hit in the seventh. During the game a diamond stud valued at $2000 was presented to McKean and a bandsome bird gun and case to Cuppy, They were the giits of local admirers. Tue Baltimore club leaves for home to-night. Cleveland leaves for Baltimore Sunday. Although the crowd to-day was the larzest that ever attended a baseball game in this city there was no rowdyism, and the Bal- timore players got as fair treatment as the Cleveland men. The reports published in the Baltimore papers that Baltimore play- €rs were assau wé’ at the first two games are absolutely untrue, Score: Clevelands, 7,12, 1; Baltimores, 1, 7, 10.

TO0 SURELY KEEP THE CUP. The Defender Is All Right, but It Is Thoughta Faster Craft Can Be Constructed. BRISTOL, R. I, Oct.5—The result of the numerous challenges for the America Cup is already manifest, for although the racing season has hardly closed, work in tne Herreshoff yards is by no means idle. During the past few days the rumor has been rife among yachtsmen in general all over the East that a new cup defender would be built during the coming season. While the general feeliig has been that the Detender could safely defend the cup against any possible challenger hereto- fore, of late opinions have changed, and the urgent request of yachtsmen at pres- ent is that a new boat should be built, To-day for the first time the rumor leaked out that Designer Herreshoff has already received a contract for a new boat. Before the Defender was -launched this summer several well-known New York and Eastesn yachtsmen wished to secure an interest in her, but were unable to do so. Her success has only whetted their desire to have the honor of success- fully defending the cup. Before the races had been sailed, accord- ing to authorities in a position to know, the Bristol designer received a number of proposals for a new boat the coming year, whether the Defender were successful or not. Nat Herreshoff, the senior member of the firm, was seen by THE CALL corre- spondent to-day, but was mum as a mouse. When asked whether there was any truth in the rumor that he had receivea an order for a new boat, he said that at present he nad received no official in- formation of such an order, nor had he heard that such an order had been made. The general feeling among yachtsmen, however, is that he is onlw following the tactics of secrecy that he adopted in the construction of the Defender, and that there is truth behind th rumor. Several names have been suggested in connection with the new boat. The most prominent is that of Herbert Munyan, the Philadelphia millionaire, who but a short time ago offered to pur- chase the Valkyrie from Lord Dunraven, for the purpose of racing her against the Defender. He is known to bean enthu- siastic yachtsman and has on several occa- sions announced his intention of entering into the international racing. Paine, the well-known Boston yachts- man and owner of the Pilgrim, Puritan and Volunteer, is also mentioned, but he states anthoritatively that he is not in the secret, although he cannot say at present whether he will enter the field again. ety g e WHERE WIil THEY FIGHT? That Ts a Question That Julian Cannot Answer. CORPUS CRISTI, Tex., Oct. 5—Man- ager Julian will leave Monday for Dallas. ‘When asked at what place he thought the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight would take place he said: “I cannot answer that question. It ma; come off in New Orleans or Indian Terri- tory; we care not where. Fitzsimmons is all right and is ready to fight any place.” A L ON THE EASTERN TRACKS.

Men of the '08 Team Proved Too Weighty for the “Fin de Sleoles.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Oct. The first interclass game of the season was played on the Stanford field to-day be- tween the '98 and '99 teams. The sopto- mores proved too weighty for their plucky antagonists, and the score at the end of the game was 18 to 0. A large crowd of students, including a number of co-eds, were on hand when the game was called. Some changes were ; made from the line-up as announced by the two capiains yesterday, the players and their positions being as follows: 198 Team. Positions. Right end T. Left tackle . 99 Team .R. E. Smith Center rush. Teft guard and r,....P. Smich Lett tackle r... Eride or Mills Left end r. Wiison Quarterback Right hait 1. Leit half r Fullback. As the two teams lined up it was ap- arent that the freshman line was very ight compared with that of itsoppkonen!a. Tfie sophomores had the first kick-o! which was made in poor style by Plate. Frazier failed to make a catch, fumbling badly. The sophomores commenced a haliback game and worked the ball along down toward the middle of the field. Leavitt was given the ball at this junc- ture, and without interference made a run for twelve yards. He came within an ace of passing all the ogposing Eluyers. and every onlooker held his breath, expecting to see a touchdown made from the center of the field. Just when it appeared that such a star performance was about to occur '99’s captain, Plate, made one of the finest tackles seen during the game, and Leayitt came down in his tracks. Jeff was given the ball and made a gamn of five yards, but after several unsuaccess- ful efforts the pigskin went to the fresh- men, On three downs the '99's made but little headway and Plate was forced to kick. Allyn returned the punt. Overacker was entrusted with the air- bag, but fumbled, and '98, on successive plunges, brought the ball within a few yards of the freshmen goal. Captain Cot- ton carried the ball’ across the line. Frazier failed to kick a goal and the score stood 4 to 10 against the fin de siecles. From the center of the field, Plate made 2 25-vard kick-off; but Leayitt managed to work it back fiftcen yards before being downed in excellent style by P. Smith. Jeff made twelve yards_through the op- posing rush line, and Frazier ended up with a 20-yard punt, which Plate returned, the ball going into touch. Ninety-eight failed, then, on several downs to make the required gain of twenty yards, and time was called for the firat gallé with the ball near the center of the eld. The second half was much more one- sided than the first. The sophomore team had met with more resistance than it had reckoned on, and went in more vigorously in the last part of the game. The freshmen made a weak kick-off, Frost recovering nearly all the ground made by that preliminary play. The '98 men worked in something like union from this point on, sending their backs against 99s iine for long gaivs, and literally carry- ing the freshmen up the field on wedge plays. Brown, left half for '99, and Mec- Intosh, the quarter, showed up weil, pick- ing out the man with the ball. 1t was a losing fight, however, and Cot- ton, on taking the ball, made the finest run of the dn[: around the end. He was stopped by Plate, who played the game for his “side.” Several scrimmages added a score of yards for ’98, and Cotton was ushed through ’99 for another touch- own. Frazier kicked the goal, and the score favored 98 to the tune of 10 to 0. The ball was given to '99 for another kick-off, which was made by Overacker. Leavitt was on hand when it fell and carried it back ten yards, when R. Smith brought him down. Irazier gained ten vards through the line and was tackled by rown. Wedge plays on the part of '98 brought the ball within a few yards of '99’s goal and Jeff went around the end for the third touchdown. Harrington failed to make a fair catch of Frazer's free kick-in and so no trial for goal was made. Score, 14—0. The last moments of the game were de- voted largely to punting matches between the fullbacks. The sop%omorls found line bucking a better policy, however, and in five minutes put Cotton over '99's back line for the fourth touchdown. No goal resulted from Frazier's try, Mills having succeeded in stopping the ball. Score: 18—0. ‘The ball was once more putin play from tne center of thefield, but time was calied before either team had made noticeable progress.. \ Fumbling was a characteristic feature of the first half, during which portion of the came, both teams played mediocre L. The second half was far more inter- esting and conclusively proved that 99 will require much practice and a heavier line before she can win from the older men. The respective captains of the teams lplza_\i‘ed first-rate ball and easily carried off e onors of the game. Carle at center had an easy time with his opponent, who is many pounds lighter than himself, Brown played a good half and McIntosh at quarter was in every scrimmage. Har- rington, 98, played a good game at guard. The punting was very poor on both sides. —_—— Abandoned on Fire. LONDON, Exe., Oct. 5—The German bark Europa, from Leith June 9 for San Francisco, has been abandoned on fire in latitude 57 south, longitude 75 west. The crew have been Janded at Concepcions THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, The Card Was Light and the Talent Landed on All the Winners. BENHAM WON A HANDICAP. Claudlus, In Fine Fettle, Ran the Mile and a Furlong In Cracking Time. Although a most unattractive racing card, the races were witnessed by a good-sized crowd yesterday. The betting was light, the eleven pencilers: finding plenty of opportunity to gossip. This could not have been expected otherwise, for the score-card had a most threadbare look, much resembling a Western village after having been visited by a cyclone. The men on the bloek were grumbling, but the talent passed a most comfortable day, get- ing aboard almost everything that passed the tape in front. Two heavily backed second-choicers and three favorites home first was the cause of all their rejoicing. The best performance of the day was that of Claudius in the mile and a furlong handicap. Of the original entries but three accepted the weight, Del Norte, Fan- nie Louise and the Brutus horse. Claudius ruled favorite throughout the betting, go- ing to the post 6 to 5. Del Norte was quoted at twos and the mare 24 to 1. The latter gave speculators a great scare. When the fla§ sent them nway%Vulker took her out in front, opening up an enormous gap of daylight. The backers of the other two horses contented themselves by saying “she’'ll come back to them,”” but as they rounded the bend for home and the mare still maintained a lead of four lengths, they became uneasy. She soon began tir- ing badly, however, and a furlong from the wire was passed by both Del Norte and the favorite. The brown horse’s chance looked most favorable for an instant, but Claudius over- hauled him and won cleverly by a length and a half in the remarkably fast time of 1:53)4. Both carried equal weights, 108 pounds, and taking into consideration a revions race of the winner’s, when he ran in exactly the same time, carrying one pound less weight and winning easily, Del Norte was in receipt or no favors from the handicapper. The two-year-old handicap, over the short six-furlong course, was another flimsy affair, with but four acceptances.’ Benham, with ninety-five pounds up, looked like peaches and cream, and the bookies took in the coin on him at 6to5 until they grew weary. He led all the way and won very comfortably by a length from Long Lady. Grady, the second choice at twos, apparently in need of a rest, was thira. Seven very cheap platers were carded to start in the opening five-turlong dash for a $250 purse. Umma was a 4 to 6 choice, with Coleman the next fancied, well backed at 3o 2. The latter acted so badly at the Eost that he went back to 3 to 1in the etting. He led all the way and won, ridden out, two lengths before the favorite who was away from the post last when the flag fell. he redoubtable Tim Murphy scared all out of the second race, and it was declared off, a cheap ‘“‘dog race’ being substituted in its stead. O’Bee looked to outclass the other five starters so badly that it seemed as though he might jump over hurdlesand beat them. But he must have gone back— away back—ifor going to the posta3to5 chance he could do no better than finish four lenghts behind the second choice, Sinbad, who carried a deal of coin at 8 to 1. The mile and a balf hurdle race was the source of much speculation. Auteuil, Arctic, Wyandotte and Bellringer were all passed around as the ‘‘right thing,” Au- teuil in particular commanding a strong play. Beliringer finally closed favorite at threes, slthough a shade lower price was much easier obtainable. He took the lead from Gold Dust at the fifth hurdle and won with little to spare from Auteuil, in 2:46)4, coast record time. Gold Dust finished a Eood third. Madison,on Wyan- dotte, broke his bridle and fell going over the fifth jump, escaping injury. SUMMARIES, Thirteenth day, Saturday, October 5.—Weather fine: track fasf 6].

Y., Oct. 5.—After the finish of the fifth race at Gravesend Mon- day “Lucky” Baldwin declared that Rey del Carreras had run his last race in this country this season and that he would take the giant sprinter to England. Almost immediately after he had made this announcement Baldwin received an offer of $30,000 for the horse from Richard Croker, who expressed the opinion that he could beat anything on the English turf at sprinting. Baldwin communicated with Croker to the effect that he could have Rey del Car- reras for $40,000. This ended the negot tion for the time, but it is likeli the parties will come 1o terms despite the fact that Baldwin is at this time suffering from a well-developed case of racing fever.

The club has started with a membershi of twenty clever young riders, whose head- uarters will be at 818 O’Farrell street. 'he uniform of the riders, blue and gray suits, with black braid and black sweaters, looks decidedly pretty. Entry blanks for the annual ten-mile handicap road race over the Haywards | course on October 13 are now out. The | entries will close on Mondsy next. A | special trophy has been offered by the | lympics as a club time prize, which will | become the property of the club whose member wins the time prize in three races. C. K.

A successor to Mr. Ravlin will be ap’fn)inted in a few days. he Olympie Club’s handball tourna- ment will be held next Sunday at the club’s outdoor grounds. The boys are practicing hard, and some good playing will be certain to result. Gus Russ, a prominent member of the Olympic Club, recently returned from Fort Ross and takes great pleasure in relating to his many friends the narrow escape he had from the attacks of a three-pronged buck which he had crippled. BF. Russ says that he had his clothes torn into pieces while attempting to dispatch his quarry with a small pocketknife. The head of the animal has been placed in the keeping of a taxidermist, who will mount it for the noble huntsman. . In order to create an interest by way of introduction of new members into the Olympic Club, the board of directors has decided to offer three premiums, first, a life membership certificate, and, second, two years’ ddes, to the members who will secure the first and second largest number of new members during the year com- mencing September 1, and ending Augnst 381,1896. The third premium—one year's e ——— e ——— fifth semi-annual conference of the Mor- men Church began in the great Tabernacle building to-day, members of the church being in attendance in large numbers from all parts of the United States, and from Mexico and Canada. —_— OAN CARRY THE MAILS. Suceessful Irial Trip of the Steamship St Paul, GLOUCESTER, Muss,, Oct. 5.~In her trial run of four hours between Cape Ann, Mass,, and Cape Porpoise, Me,, a distance of 44.96 kno%s, the International Navigation Company{s new steamer St, Paul averaged 20} knots per hour for that time, and earned the privilege of car- rying the United States mails to Europe. According to the terms of the mail subsidy act the St. Paul had to make 20 knots an hour for four consecutive hours to carry the mails and to receive the $¢ a mile paid for doing so. _ The eggines and boilers worked to-day as smoothly and easily as if they had been running for months, and not a hitch or an accident of any kind occurred. Although the St. Paul did not equal the time made by her sister ship, the St. Louis, which made 22.3 knots on her trial trip, the conditions were much more favorable to the latter vessel, and the St. Paul, when she gets fairly running on t!:e. line, will undoubtedly equal the 8t. Louis regular time and bear evidence to the shipbuildersof the world that the United States can build as fine ships as float. STAMPED ON A SH PHILAUELPHIA SHOE CO, B W @A, MOVED. PRICES TALK.
