THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1895. Live Sporting Events at Home and Abroad. MAY FIGHT AT DALLAS, | It Is Said That the Hasty Law Enacted by Texas lIs Defective. THOSE INTERESTED TO CONFER. Preparations Going Right Ahead for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons Battle. FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 7.—It is <claimed to-nignt by prominent sporting men that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill will take place at Dallas. The reliaace of the interested, parties upon Dallas as the location for the fight is based upon the fact that it is claimed the anti-prize fight law which the special session of the Legis- lature was called to pass is defective. The Chickasaw offer still holds good in the event the managers decide to pulil off the fight at some other place than Dallas. SAN ANTONIO, TEx., Oct. 7.—Manager am A. Brady left here to-night for Dallas to attend the conference there to- morrow with the Florida Athletic Club and Manager Martin Julian. Brady stated to the United Press correspondent to-day that he was determined to do all in his power toward hay- ing the fight pulled off on scheduled ti He said that he has re- ceived no word from President Stuart as to the nature of the propositions and modifications that would be offered, but if they are at all reasonsble, he would ac- cept them. Brady will also bring up the matter of Fitzsimmons' stake money, which hasbeen aitached, being good. He states that he is determined that the fight shall take place, and that he will not allow Fitzsimmons a loophole through which to crawl out. Corbitt did a hard day’s work traming to-day. He began at 9 o’clock and after five minutes sparring bouts with five mem- bers of his party he used the wrist ma- chine for some time. During the afternoon he spent two hours playing handball with Jim Daly, Joe Corbett and Billy Delaney. He then spent some time wrestling and ing other exercise. He finished his at6o'clock and was apparently not the least fatigued. His cottage is comfort- ably furnished and he and other members he party are delighted with the climate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—Attor- ney-General Harmon again said to-day that the Corbett-Fitzimmons fight could fnot come off on territory under the im- mediate control of the United States. That Indian Territory has exclusive jurisdic- tion over the reservation is, he says, ab- surd. e BACKED BY MOSE GUNST. California and Nevada Sports After the Big Fight. CARSON, NEgv.,, Oct. 7.—Nothing is talked of in this city except the proposi- tion of bringing the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prizefight here, and a street report is that $65,000 has been already subscribed —$50,000 by Mose Gunst and other parties of San Francisco. Gover- nor Jones to-day, when inter- viewed, was non-committal, but stated it would be his .official duty to oppose any- thing of the kind. There is a law in Ne- vada licensing glove contests, however. The reported offer was wired to-day. The management of the affair will be in the hands of a syndicate composed of Califor- nia and Nevada men. Two agents de- parted for San Francisco this evening to perfect arrangemen g e ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. Opening of the Fall Meeting of the La- tonia Jockey Club.

BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 7.—The two- time champions to-day made thelr first appearance on the home grounds in the Temple cup series. They had no trouble in placing the game to their credit. But two Clevelandites got beyond first base and both died at second. Esper pitched magnificently and was grandly supported, Keeler especially aistinguishing himself. Cuppy, too, pitched a good game except in the third inning, when five of Baltimore's nine hits were bunched, along with his two bases on balls. There was a large police force on the grounds, but they had nothing to do, as there was no disposition shown by the crowd to interfere with the players. Nor wasthere any particular commotion among the rooters, no noise-making device other than lusty voices being allowed in the in- closure. After the game, however, there was a little excitement outside the grounds when the Cleveland Club entered its stage coach. A crowd of several thousand persons had congregated in front of the clubhouse. Half & uozen overzealous rooters,who had become exasperated at the reports sent out from Cleveland to the effect that the Bal- timore players had been assaulted by patrons of the game in that city, began firing sticks and stones at the vehicle. The Elayers lay down on the seats or upon the oor of the omnibus and the missiles went wide of their intended marks. Three of the ruffians who were guilty of the attempt to injure the visiting players were arrested, and the omnibus, with & number of police in charge, drove hurriedly away from the grounds and arrived at the Car- rollton Hotel without further incident. Later in the evening the three stone- wers were fined $5 and costs and given Central police station. The Justice an- nounced that if any more cases of a sim- ilar nature came before him he would not deal so leniently with the offenders. tendance 9100. Score: Baltimores 6, 9, 1; Clevelands 0, 5, 1.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Oct. 7.—Manager Haton was seen to-day re- garding the conference held by him Satur- day with Manager Young of Berkeley. Mr. EatBn said that no arrangements have yet been made looking toward the forma- tion of schedules with outside teams. “We can get all the games we care to play, and [ don’t intend to arrange any of them until 1 am fairly confident we will not meet a single defeat. The Reliance and Olympic clubs each have a strong team, but I ‘believe with practice we can win out from either. When asked whether he would enter the Stanford team in any matches before No- vember, Eaton replied that a game or two would undoubtedly take place during the latter part of the present month. Captain Cochran likewise believes he will have a team that can defeat anything on the coast, and like Mr. Eaton he has no desire to enter any games before the men have become well hardened and trained. Stanford will, to-morrow afternoon, wit- ness another good game on the “gndiron.” Junior and senior teams will play, and as both are well matched the game will be a | hot one. Following is the line-up as ar- ranged by the captains: Juniors. Position. William enter.... McDonnel ight g1 Lewers. Left guard, T. Reynolds... BULL-FIGHTI) G AT ATLANTA. A Very Tame Exhibition of the Genwine Barbarous sport. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 7.—There was a bull-fight with a trick bull in the arena at the Mexican village this morning in con- junction with ranch sports. The “fight” is to be repeated three times a day during the exposition. It has taken months to train the bull. The bull-fighters were attired in gaudy costumes and marched around the arena to the place where the highest official is presumed to sit. They then retired. Ina few seconds a door at the side of the arena was opened, and a quiet mild-eyed steer walked out. ““El toro” shouted the Mexicans on the seats, but the bull simply flisped a fly irom his back with his tail and stood in the center of the ring, calmly chewing his cud. Two rancheros rode iuto the ring and started the animal on a trot around the arena. While he was going at full speed the rancheros lassoed him and threw nim to the ground and a rope saddle was placed on his back. The bull was per- mitted to rise, and a Mexican jumped on his back and rode around the ring. After giving the bull a bandful of hay the toreadors came in und shook their cloaks at him. He chased them all around the arena for ten minutes and then ban- dilleros entered the ring and pretended to stick barbs 1n his shoulders as he dashed around the circle. This ended the fight. The Mexicans say it is the kind they in- tended all the ti gt Police Prevented the Fight. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 7.—The fifteen- round contest between Young Griffo and Kid Lavigne, which was to have been de- cided at the New Active Athletic Associa- tion at Constable Hook, N.J., to-night, was postponed owing to the objection of the authorities, who refused to let the fight go on. Fully 2500 persons went down by boat to see the fight, but were met at the dock at Bayonne and informed of the decision of the police and Sheriff, and the boats came back without landing any pas- sengers. e “Krd” McCoy Won. BALTIMORE, Mbp., Oct. 7.—Abe Ull- man of Baltimore and Charles “Kid’’ Mc- Coy of Cincinnati met in a twenty-round contest to-night before the Eureka Ath- letic Club. There were 2000 persons pres- ent. They met at catch weights for a purse and a side wager of $500. Jake Kilrain and Billy Duke were in Ullman’s corner, while Frank Kelly, his backer, and John Logan, his trainer, looked after McCoy. McCoy won in the thirteenth round. P e Maybe a Costly “Scorch.” ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 7.—Colonel Charles H. Jones, editor of the Post Dispatch, isa bicycle devotee, and while scorching along Cardinal avenue, on July 20 last, ran down and severely injured a boy. To-day the boy’s mother, Mrs. O. H. Lee, sued Colonel Jones to recover $5000 damages alleged to have been inflicted upon her son. — Won by Menlo Park. MENLO PARK, CaL.,, Oct. 7. — The twenty-five mile relay race between the Menlo Park and Mayfield Bicycle Clubs for a silver cup and championship was won by the former. The race was over the regular course from Milbrae to Moun- tain View. The time made was 1:12. ATTACK ON LIN CHIN, Missionaries Do Not Expect Any Protec- tion From Officials. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 7.—The American Board of Commission of the Foreign Mis- sions has received from Lin Chin, Norih China, an account of an attack upon its missionaries located there. Lin Chinisa city in Shantung, near the junction of the Grand canal with the Wei River. Ithasa population estimated 50,000. “‘On the eve of August 27, says the corre- sponding missionary, we had our first expe- rience of mob violence in Lin Chin. Dur- ing the ten years that this station hasbeen og)erued. we have felt that we had gained the good will of the people sufficiently so that we.need not fear trouble from them, but our recent experience has shown us that we need to be more on our guard. ““There is considerable hostile talk in the streets, and we cannot tell what the future has in store. Some of our men heard the Sze Chuen riots discussed among the crowd waiting to attack us on the morning of the 18th. One lesson we have learned is that our remaining here peacefully de- pends more on the good will of the people than on any other official protection we can expect at present.” LONDON, Exc.. Oct. 7.—A dispatch from Shanghai says that the Viceroy of Foo Chow is preventing the enforcement at Ku Cheng of the orders promulgated from Peking. Foreign Consuls report that in consequence of this action it is perfectly useless to proceed with the inquiry into the recent outrages. British Vice-Consul Allen has left Ku Cheng in disgust. SRR sy Min Young Chaw's Towr. CHICAGO, InL, Oct. 7.—Min Young Chan of Seoul, Korea, spent yesterday at the Auditorium Hotel and left last night for San Francisco on his way home. When asked as to the purpose of his visit to America the young man replied that he was only a tourist, who had paid a visit to his friend Mr. Pak, the Korean Minister at ‘Washington. l THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Midlo Won a Handicap, Show- ing a Surprising Turn of Speed. REMUS TO THE FRONT AGAIN. Detective Made a Runaway Race of the Mile Dash, Beating Nephew a Neck. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has issued its book of stake entries. The little pamphlet is most artistically gotten up, with the names of the horses alphabetically indexed, and reflects much credit on Assistant Secretary Cullen. Both owner George Rose and Trainer Lot- tridge were confident Nephew would win yes- terday, and the horse-trainer is quoted as saying that he would eat him if he didn’t win. Tommy must have enjoyed a very hearty re- past last evening. Secretary Leake of the new jockey club has & communication from E. J. Baldwin requesting him to reserve twenty-five stalls for his big string at the Ingleside track. They will arrive the latter part of the present month. W. J. Splers, the owner of the great sprinter 0'Con- nell, also wired Secretary Leake asking him to reserve stalls for fifteen horses that will leave Oakley about October 15. The good perform- ers, Lizetta end Lizely, are also in the string of Mr. Spiers. Labor day had its effect at the track. Lovers of racing turned out in round num- bers and witnessed some rare good equine contests. Six races were down on the card for the edification of the race-going public, and the finish of each was close and excit- ing. The borses did not come in just as the talent bad figured them, but as all of the winners received more or less support there was but little “kicking” heard. Navy Blue and Midlo were the only favor- ites tbat got heme in front, second choices | and outsiders taking the other events. By long odds the best performance of the day was that of the two-year-old Midlo in the short six-furlong handicap. He opened equal choice in the betting with McLight, both being held at 7 to 5, with Tim Mur- | phy, the other starter, 3 to 1. Later in the betting the roan sprinter was backed down to7to5and McLight's price receded to threes. At post time the general odds were 7 to 5 and your choice between Tim and the youngster. Eddie Jones took Midlo out in front when Ferguson sent them away, and the clip he set was a track-burner. At the end of a furlong be ras leading Tim by three lengths with Me- 1t four Jengths further off. : This order was unchanged as they hi the stretch. The roan horse closed th gap up somewhat as they neared wire, but could not overhaul the youngster, who was a veritable flying ghost with his eighty-eight pounds up. He crossed the wire first by a length. in the very fast time ot 1:11)4. McLight came like a streak himself in the stretch, finishing but a length and a half further away. The winner is a son of imp. Midlothian and has shown fine form of late. Navy Blue, the 1 to 2 favorite, pulled off the first race of the day over the short six-furlong course, although his chances looked very dubious at one time. One of the tail-enders, he passed his field in_the stretch and won easily from Dr. Gardner, an 80 to 1 shot. The Eastern gelding, Claude Hill, opened a 6 to 5 favorite for the two-year- old event at four and a half furlongs, but went back in the betting until twos were obtainable, when the starters came out. He took the lead from Decision after half of the journey had been covered, but Macklin allowed Chevalier on Isabelle, the second choice, to slip through next the rail less than a furlong from home, and was beaten out three parts of a length. Lady Leinster filly ran a highly creditable race, finishing a close third. * Nick Hall's Yreka was a pronounced 6 to 5 choice for the third race, a cheap five- furlong dash, but could finish no better than third. Red Idle, who opened in the betting at 4 and went back to 7 to 1, took the race in a drive by half a length from Addie M, the second choice, with the favorite the same distance back. The bookmakers took another hard fall | out of the crowd on_the following race, a seven-furlong run. Malo Diablo and Sir Richard were both heavily backed to win it, the former going over to the starting posti1to 5, and the latter 2)4to1. Re- mus, with fours about him in the ring, led all the way, winning ridden out, a length before Sir Richard, with Little Bob third ctose up. The time, 1:263;, marks a splendid performance. Malo Diablo to all appearances had a fit of the sulks, run- ning last all the way. The fifth race, a mile dash, was another bitter disappointment for the followers of the first choices. Nephew came out a 6 to 5 chance, backed from 8 to 5, with Detective a strong second choice at. twos. After considerable delay at the post the flag sent threw away to a good start. Chevalier on Detective, took his horse out in front and m:“e a runaway race of it, leading at one time by eight or ten lengths. The favorite closed the gap with a fine showing of speed through the stretch, but was compelled to bow to de- feat by a neck. SUMMARY. Fourteenth day, Monday, October 7.—Weather fine: track fast. 66.

Fakbr b i READY T0 PEPPER DUCKS The Teal Club Will Fight Those Who Trespass on Its Preserves. Arks That Are Being Fitted Up for the Accemmodation of Sportsmen. Among the sportsmen who witnessed the Inanimate Target Association’s tour- nament yesterday at the Oakland Trotting Park was E. J. Bell, who will have an ark located within easv reach of the Teul Club’s shooting-ground on the 15th inst., for the accommodation of sportsmen, who desire some good duck shooting on the Suisun marshes this year. When asked for an opinion regarding the right of sportsmen who are non-mem- bers of the shootingclubs to shoot] on the salt marsh preserves this year, Mr. Bell said that he had consulted a few of the prominent attorneys of the City and was led to believe by their statements that in accordance with the law asit now reads in regard to trespasson salt marsh land, sportsmen have a legal right to shoot on marsh lands over which the tide flows. Mr. Bell’s ark will be located near Espin- the | osa station, and as the Espiosa Gun Club | failed this year to get a renewal of its lease | from the farmer who owns the land hunt- ers who will visit that section of the coun- try can look forward to some good shoot- | ing until the advent of the heavy rains. | “Of course I expect considerable annoy- | ance from the Teal Club,” said Mr. Beil | “but T have every reason to helieve that the Tealers and Cordelias will conclude to leave visiting sportsmen alone after we have had a few weeks’ duck-shooting. “The Teal Club has already shown its teeth, and from what I can understand the keepers have been instructed to make the sport as unpleasant as possible for sports- men who are in no wise connected with either the Teal or Cordelia clubs. “The Teal Club employed men a few days ago to blockade the navigable sloughs that run through its preserve and I heard from a friend wno resides in Suisun yesterday that large piles have been driven down in such a manner as to preclude the passage of a small boat. Well, there is a way and ameans of accomplishing many difficult tricks, and I feel satisfied that there will be but few piles to obstruct navigation when the proper authorities will take the matter in hand. “Of course, this system of defeating the aims of sportsmen isin keeping with the action of the club when it invited the hunters of the country at large to their preserve just for the purpose of annoying the Cordelia Club, with whom it had a fall- ing out. This happened a few years ago, | but the unsportsmanlike conduzt of the | Teal Club members is still fresh in the minds of the sportsmen of the surround- ing country, who had very little sympathy for the Teal Club. “The land-owners who leased large tracts of marsh land to those wealthy clubs now regret having granted them leases for hunting purposes, and I can safely say that in a few vears hence there will be few acres of marsh land in the vicinity of Sui- sun under lease for shooting purposes. “The Espinosa Club, which had the shoot ing right of several hundred acres of land, had to move its quarters this year because the owner of the property positively re- fused to.grant the club a renewal of its lease at any figure. Other land-owners will do likewise just as soon as the lease granted some of the clubs will have ex- pired. There is amplespace on the Suisun marshes to accommodate with good shoot- ing the sportsmen who visit that section of the country during the season, if the preserve clubs are done away with. “Game is plentiful and will always con- tinue plentiful if the birds are protected during the breeding season. The preserve clubs, so called, are exterminators of birds. They feed their ponds, and instead of kill- ing birds in singles and doubles, as true sportsmen should do, the members secrete themselves in ‘blinds’ near the ponds and blaze away when two.or three hundred birds gather for a morning’s feast. Their keepers will not deny this fact, and it is doubtful if the members would say ‘no’ if the guestion were put to any of them. “However, I expect there will be some interesting stories to relate when the sea- son for duck-shooting will have fairly com- menced.” HEAVY-WEIGHT PUGILISTS Miller and Sharkey Are Matched to Box at the Colma Athletic Club. Tom Sharkey, “the pugilist of the sea,” and big Miller of the San Francisco-Ath- letic Club, are matched to give a boxing exhibition ®ith the same size of gloves as used in Olympic and Reliance Athletic Club contests, at Colma, on the evening of December 7. Miller will train for this contest with a member of the San Francisco Athletic Club, who is matched i0 box a representa- tive of the Olympic Club on the 15th inst. Sharkey has “heretofore refused meet boxers who he thought were a little bit dangerous to tackle. © Miiler is comparatively an amateur boxer, but pugilists who "are considered good judges of a boxer’s ability contend that Miller will whip Sharkey in quick order. The San Francisco Athletic Club’s champion will weigh 195 pounds, and he is considered quite clever by his friends. —————— Tired of Life. Charles Southerland, a carriage-trimmer lv- ing on Nineteenth street, near Guererro, jumped into the bay from the Lombard-street wharf last night. He was rescued by the crew of the whaleback steamer City of Everett, and taken to the Receiving Hospital. He will re- cover. Hesaid he was out of work and was tired of life. He is an unmarried man. BLUE ROCKS AND TRAPS, End of the Big Tournament of the Inanimate Target Assoclation. THE OLYMPIC'S TEAM LEADS. ™. Over 20,000 Shots Fired by the Sportsmen at the Oakland Racetrack. The big tournament of the trap-shooters at the Oakland racetrack closed yesterday. Altogether it was a great success. The shooting was good and the arrangements admirable. In the two days 120 of the crack shots of the State fired over the two batteries of traps over 20,000 shots. The honors for team shooting were with the Stockton Gun Club on Sunday, but yes- terday the Olympic Club carried off the laurels with the biggest score made during the tournament. J. W. Shiell of the San Joaquin Valley Club carried off the prize for the best record of consecutive hits, having made 50 straight on Sunday. The best average was made by C. A. Merrill of the Stockton club. Ties were undecided on Sunday for most of the prizes of all events except the first event, decided on the scores made in the events of yesterday morning, and the win- ners were as follows: Second event—First prize, J. W. Shiell; sec- ond, C. Merrill, Stockton ; third, C. C. Nauman, Olympic; fourth, John Trombone, Oakland! fifth, Winders, Stockton; sixth, F. H. Holmes, Garden. City; seventh, A. W. Ailen, Lincoln.

Charles R. Moody’s Attempt to Suicide. Charles R. Moody, a young married man, and ensign of Company D, Naval Battalion, shot himself in the presence of his wife and her mother in their rooms at 443 Golden Gate avenue last night, and the wound will in all probability prove fatal. Moody is about 24 years of age and was married three years ago. He was for some time an assistant with Carew & English, the undertakers, but for some months has been out of a job. His wife has since then been compelied to support herself. He and his wife did not live happily to- gether, and on more than one occasion she left him and went to live with her mother at 741 Golden Gate avenue, but he always Srevailed upon her to return. On Satur- ay last they agreed to separate and he told her he would in three months geta divorce and marry another woman. She went to 443 Golden Gate avenue and they divided their pictures and other effects and he helped her to pack her trunk. He was in the company of another woman yesterday afternoon when he met his wife. He told her that her baby boy was dying and she hurried to his mother’s, where she found the boy healthy and strong. She took him with her to her mother’s house. His motive for telling her that her boy wasdying puzzled her and when he called last night at her mother’s and asked her to go with him to 443 Golden Gate avenue to pack his valise she was still more puzzled. He told her he was leaving the City and was going to his grandfather’s ranch in the country to live. As she had been told that onrgatm'du night he had threatened to shoot himsel and her also she was afraid to go alone and asked her mother to accompany her. The three went to the Golden Gate ave- nue house. They had been there only a minute or two when Moody went toa closet in the sitting-room and lifted a 44- caliber revolver from the shelf. Before they could divine his intention he said, | pointing the muzzle of the weapon at his Eent, ‘‘Well, this will put a stop to it.” His wife shrieked and rushed out of the room and at that moment Moody fired at his heart and fell. Mrs. Moody and her mother ran to the Central police station and two officers hurried back with them. Sergeant Gillen also sent the patrol wagon. The officers found Moody on the floor breathing heav- He was driven to the Receiving Hos- pital, where Drs. Fitzgibbon and Rinne found that the bullet had entered just be- low the heart and had gone clean through his body, penetrating his left lung. HEALTH LAWS. BILIOUSNESS.
