g THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 17, 1897. ThE SINGING EVANGELIST The Author of “The Ninety and Nine” Comes to the City. TALES OF HIS GREAT| GATHERINGS EAST. | Mr. Saokey May Hold Several Meetings While in San Francisco. WILL SING FOR THE STATE SUX- DAY-3CHOOL CONVENTION. One Great Objsct of This Work Now Is to Get the Churches on a Higher Plane. Ira D. Sankey, the famous singing evan- gelist, author of “The Nine y and Nine,”’ and other religious songs that are heard in the various languages of the world, ar- rived here yesierday. Mr. Moody did not come with him, but M Sankey did;%also | Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sankey of Brooklyn. | | | The evange!ist is looking very much as he did when last here. His health seems good and his spirits are lively. He said he was feeling very well indeed, but that Mrs. Sankey needed the California air once more, and be decided to bring her here. “We left New York on February 1 to come here for the benefit of her health,” he said, “and on the way held meetings at Buffalo, 8t. Louis, El Paso an ! Red- Jands, Iam to be here till April 8, when we will go to Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane, and we will probably hold meetings in all these. Then we will go | bome by the Northern Pacific. “Meantime I will remain here and will | conduct the singing here for the State | Sunday-school convention, which meets | on April 6, 7 and 8. Besides this I may in a few days hold some mestings in- this City. “The meetings I have recantly held have not been evangelistic as such, but area service of song and story. This is my va- | cation time and I want to make its work as light as I can consistent with the good 1o be attained. “So 1 sing some of my songs thatare | pow pretty weil known throughout the globe and tell how I came to write tiem— that is, what led to ir and the circum- stances surrounding each case, In this dway It ink I have been able to doa great es Neither Mr. Moody nor myself has been speaking o the masses as much as for- | merly. Our work has been in the church. It has been with the object of arousing the people there to action and having them go | forward and bring in the people. We find it works well. ‘“We say to them, ‘You know it is true; now go out and do thi- work.’ Our efforts have been to get the churches themselves on a higher plane. “And in regard to the Christian religion in tbe East and elsewhere where I have been I can say that it is developing and taking & very firm hold on the people. I bave just been holding meetings for four mont’ = recently in New York, in Car- negie Hall, where the attendance and in- terest was something remarkuble. I have never seen greater interest than was mani- fested at Luese meetings. “The Christian faith is certainly taking a deeper hold on the people of the coun- try than ever. My pariicular object is | now to get the churches aroused to doing their whole duty. They have all the | means, and all it requires js the firm be-. lief that always briugs the” Christian’s re- ward.” D FOR TGE CUBMS Ladies’ Auxi'iary of the Organ- ization Eager to Be of Service. Wil Await Suggestions From th Mes:-Mesting That Is to Be Held on Saturday Night Now that it has been thoroughly organ- jzed and placed in working order the| Cuban League will proceed to give some spbstantial evidence of its existence by | raising funds to aid the struggling patri- | ots to buy arms and munitions of warto | continue their battle for freedom from the bondage of Spain. At present the leaders of the Cuban League, Faust E. Mascher- | ini and John E. Jones, are not certain just where to begin, and will await the action of the'big mass-meeting on Saturday even- ing, when it is expected that valuable surgestions will be made. The members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary are eager to do their share in the raisine of the sinews of wear, and many plans | front of Stuart’s office. bave been made, but not as yet acted upon. They at first thought of making lintand bandages to forward to Cuba, but’ the dif- ficulty of landing such articles on the island was suggested and the scheme abandoned. _ They are now working on a plan for giv- ing a series of entertainments, by which they hope to accumulate a substantial sum to buy medicnes and arms. The league itseif will begin woiking toward the same object as soon as the mass-meet- ing is over. Secretary Mascherini received a letter from Governor Budd yesterday expressing his recrets at not being able to attend Monday night's meating of the league and wishing the organization all success in its efforts to aid Cuba. | WORD FOM SILER MO THEVLL AT Continued from Fifth Page. to the springs was Ida Fuller, whose sis- ter La Loie, is an old iriend of the Cali- fornian. Billy Woods and Jeffries were about as contented a looking pair as could be found in the vicinity to-day, since they bad a rest from Jim’s mauiing apparatus. McVey also wore a jaunty smile, which was absent during the days when his head was battered against the wooden walls of the gymnasiam. Later in the afternoon Jim went for a short walk and came home with a series of smiles’and sprints. At Cook's ranch Hickey ana Stelzner had time to compare notes on past injur- ies, as they were not asked to put on the gloves. Roeber, however, had to push and shove for a few minutes while the champion tried out his wind. Bob then took a turn at the bag and sprinted round the yard a few times. A little roaa work wound up the proceeding. Both pugilists turned in early to get a gocd long rest before the eventful hour. According to to-night’s arrangements Cor- bett will perhaps take a short walk 1n the morning and then drive to the arena. OI course the weather will have a great deal to do with the plans of both men. Professor Walter Watson of the Olympic Club, San Francisco, who is credited with having broucht out Corbett’s boxing abili- ties, was probably the most welcome vis- itor at the Californian’s quarters to-day. He comes as a special writer for Tue CaLr. “Come ini and take a flash at me, Wal- ter,”” «aid Jim after a handshake. “Your opirion ought to settle the guestion of my condtiion,” Watson foliowed the champion’s father, P. J. Corbett, into Jim’s cottage, where the examination took place. Jim stripped tothe waist and Watson thumped him and kneaded every muscle in his trunk. Corbett senior adjusted his spectacies and watched the process. “You are down pretty fine, Jim, pretty fine,”’ said Watson. *'Not too fine, under- stand me; justaboutright, I should think. I never saw your muscles so hard. They show through the skin more than ever be- fore. Perhaps that is why you appear to be drawn down so much. Your neck is bigger than it used to be, I think. Have you been saving your right? Your left seems to be bigger than Ieversaw it. If you were a stranger I should say you in- tended to fight this battle with one hand. Your right shoulder muscles strike me as having just about the proper develop- ment. Perhaps I shouldn’t be too criti- cal, but I know you take some stock in what I'm saying. You are harder than you were in former yearsand carry less beef on you. Ishould say that you were in absolutely perfect condition for & man of your age and development. The more I look et you the petter I like yourappear- ance. If, as you claim, yonr bellows are all right the champion:hip will stay in 8an Francisco.” Jim’s father had not much to say. +Jim seems to have muscles sticking out all over him,” was the old gentleman’s comment. “His face ain’t so very thin. His shoulders look very big to me. Come to think of it I never saw them look so large. Now, 8o far as his color goes, I | wancto tell you right now that he never looked better. Those lines about the eyes are perlectly natural. I had them when I was hisage. Jim and Joe take after me, you know. I am satisfied with the lad’s appearance, and if he don’t win—well, e shouldn’t have any excuse to offer the folks at home.” Jack . McAulffe, the ex-lightweight champion, attracted a little attention on Carson street this afterroon. I have not seen ecither of the big fel- lows stripped,” said Jack to a crowd in “You can’t tell a ereat deal by a man’s face and not much more by seeing him stripped, but accord- ing to my notion both Jim and Bob are ‘fimer than silk.” Why shouldn’t they be? I think the pace will be so hot that the fight will not last more than six rounds. Judging by their talk to me they ain’t going to do much dancing about and drawing out. This fizht is for blood, and it will be all over by 11 o’clock to-mortow if the sun shines.” Wyatt 8. Earp, who refereed the Sbarkey-Fiizsimmons contest, sized up the heavy-weights this morning. Earp is a secretive man naturaily, and he had not much to say when he came back from Shaw’s Springs. *I thought Corbett might not be as good as he was represented,” he drawled. “He looks migh'y determined, though, and I don’t believe he isafraid of an ana- conda. Fitzsimmons ain’t as heavy as when he fouzht Sharkey. Maybe he is worrying. The man with the most nerve MISS IRENE BERTUCCI, Who Presented the Cuban Banner to the Cuban League at Its Meeting on Monday Evening. is going to win this fight. Both of them aze well fixed for that article to-day."” If expert opinion counts for anyihing the battle will be a very short ome. A few guesses as to the number of rounds follow: W. A. Brady—Not less than four and not more than eight rounds. Martin Julian—Fi zsimmons will knock Corbett’s head off befcre the sixth round 1s over. Billy Delaney—1 look for a fast fight. Corbett will get Fiiz's measure in two or three rounds. There is tov much at stake for either man to run any risk by rushing. Ten rounds ought 0 decide matters. Ernest Roeber—It the morning is cold they will fight fast. Fitz will get his work in about the fifth round. I think Corbett will get rattied and runinto a knockout abont that time. Cnharley White—It will be the fastest fight between heavy-weights in the his- tory of pugilism. Corbett wiil fool them on his punching power. Six or eight rounds will see the last of Fitzsimmons. Dan Hickey—The man who gets the first punch in will likely »'n. Fitz will be cooler than Corbett, and if Jim forces matters Bob will get to his jaw before sev- en rounds are over. Billy Woods— Fitz will nmever put a glove on Corbatt. If he can stand up be- fore Jim for tnree rounds he is a better man than he was when I sparred with him. Jack Stelzner—Corbett will lose his head when he finds that Bob can hit him, and Elliott and A. J. Bigelow of Ogden were the only cracks on hand this morning, Anderson and Becker of Utah and Chick of California having been delayed by a late train until after the entries closed. Elliott and Bigelow shot a sweepstake of fifty birds, which was won by the former, the score being 47 10 43, The other events were declared oft by Dan Stuart, whose time is fully occupied by the prize-fights. STl JONH L. ARRIVES. Met by a Brass Band, Though the Midnight Hour Had Passed. CARSON, NEv., March'17.—The delayed Eastern special arrived at Carson shortly before midnight. There were many nota- blesaboard, but they were completely lost sight of because of the fact that the ex- champion pugilistof the world, John L. Sullivan, was a passenger. The old hero comes to Carson in the capacity of a spe- cial correspondent of the New York ‘World, and in¢identally to break into the championship ring once more, News was received early in the evening that he was coming, and after that the people of Carson could not be driven to bed. The World staff Lere provided a brass band and the citizens the finest car- riage in town for the ex-champion’s wel- come, and these, with the cheering crowd that was attached to the regular _train running from San Francisco to Sacra- mento, and were plentifully provided with good things to eat and drink. A large crowd was at the depot to cast envious glances at those who were fortunate enough to be able to journey to Carson. Pools arse being sold here to-might at Rich & Lonjer's resort.

Eren the Fowis Ave Fighting. CARSON, Ngv., March 16.—About 500 people paid admission to witnessa cock- ing main between birds owned by Anthony Green of Sacramento, Cal., and a cham- vion fancier of Utah to-night. The bat- tles, five in number, wers short and spir- ited and ended in favor of the California birds, they having killed all of their op- ponents. ~It was for $50 a main and about $250 changed hands. Arrangements are being made for a second meeting of fight- ing birds to-morrow evening. S EG Y oy Corbett Facored in Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Orr0, March 16.—All the theaters will start their matinees two hours earlier than usual to-morrow, and all have special wires on which they will receive the news of the big fight. Cleve- lapd is a most unanimous Corbett town. Very little has been bet so far, $200 to $150, avear DIAGRAM OF THE ARENA. Bob will knock him out inside of four rounds. William Muldoon—The two men are in such perfect condition that I hardly think the fight will last more than thirty min- utes. Jack McAuhffe—Tt is a grndge fight, and no time will be wasted. The man who keeps his head will win in short order. Tom Sharksy—The kinetescope people won’t need much tape for this fight. The men will go at each other like tigers, and it will be all over in less than twenty min- utes. Billy Madden—We will never live to see such a fast fight between two big men. They have old scores tosettle, and it won’t take them long todoit. Al 8mith—I don’t think it will be a very long fight. Corbett usually trims his man in short order, understand me, and Fitz doesn’t lose much time, either. We won’t have to wait long for the finish. Jimmy Wakeley—Six rounds will tell the tale, if I am a judge. These fellows have plenty of speed, and there won’t be any fooling on either side. Notwithstanding these predictions the talent is buying pools on rounds ten to fifteen. “Whera are all these veople going to sleep?” asked a tall Englishman who had traveled all the way from London to see the fight. His query raised a point which had not been sufficiently considered be- fore. Every lodging-house and private residence is crowded, and still the visitors come. Cots are to be had, but before morning the supply will be exbausted. Storekeepers are clearing space in their premites to make room for shakedowns, and even the Salvation Army quarters were cleared out and transformed ntoa tamale parlo.. The old Agricu!tural Pa- vilion has been turned into a restaurant, and hand-outs are being served from sha ties in Chinatown. The railway sidings are filling up with sieepers, and every day coach that can be spared will be opened to those who cannot obtain beds eisewhere. The hackmen are rapidly becoming rich, and are quite as unscrupulous as their brethren in the large cities, This aft noon ex-Senator John J. Ingalls separated himself from $2 in exchange for a carriage ride of 200 yards. He was rescued from the grasp of a hack-driver by kind friends, who steered him to a place of safety. Over at the Coliseum everything isquiet, The guidous are all in place and press ts have teen fenced off and filled with chairs, The kinetescope apparatus is in readiness for instant use and three men are guarding it against possible inirusion. A Pinkerton man siands at every en- trance, and nobody is admitted without a good excuse. Stuart’s office has been jammed with ticket-buyers all day. The higher-priced seats are most in demand, but there are purchasers for all grades. Three stalwart detectives are on guard within the office and a fourth is staiioned outside the door. Secretary Wheelock claims that more than 5000 tickets have been sold, but there isno way of verifying his figures. Tuere is only one candidate for master of ceremonies—Billy Jordan of San Fran- cisco—but he is practically unknown to Stuart and may not get the place. The official timekeepers are also to be selected. plotvddrholed Shooting Tournament a Fizsle. CARSON, Nzv., March 16.—The ‘ trap- shooting contest was a fizzle, the entries having failed to fill. Champion J. A. R, that greeted him, made it an event that was scarcely expected. Sullivan was driven up through the main street to the corner where the World and Dan Stuart’s headqaarters are lo- cated, and there made a speech. He thanked the people of Carson for their hospitality and rousing welcome and added: “Iam here for business. Iam going to see the fight and write aboutit. When it is over Iintend to challenge the winner for the world’s championship.” BETTING IN LONDON. Few Wagers Are Made, but Fitzsimmons Is the Favorite. LONDON, E~a., March 16.—There is very little betting in_ sporting or other circles in London on to-morrow’s fight be- tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons, and what few wagers have been made have chirfly been &t even money. One offer of £200 even on Fitz<immons found no tak- ers, and later 11 to 10 against Corbett was offered by the same bettor and acceptea. The Evening News publishes a report of an interview with Sir George Chetwynd, Sailor “Sharkey Will Challenge the Wianer, who is an ardent devotee of athletic sports, 1n which he is reported as sdyin, “I cannot 1gnore the fact that Corbett i clever boxer, but I think the Englishman will win. Anyway, it will be a hard ight.”” The veteran pugilistic trainer and sec- ond, Jack Baidock, sa; I think Fitz- simmons will win, but it is foolish to un- derrate Corbett. Men of his class of ner- vous tempersment ofien in a desperae fight exhibit rapidity and caution beyond expectation,” e Stockton Sports Dapart. STOCKTON, Car., March 16.—A delega- {ion of prominent citizens left this after- noon for Carson to attend the big tight to- morrow, They had a special Pullman with Corbett on the long end, being the biegest wager reported, although Frank Drew and W. Campbell, of the Star Thea- tear, have had a standing offer of $2000 on Corbett against $1500 for thie past ten days. Jack Quinn and Farmer Burns, who wrestles Tom Jenkins here to-night, are hunting diligently for Fitzsimmons' money wituout finding a trace of any. Bortnbl ey Corbett, Says John L. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 16 —The World has the following telegram from John L. Sullivan: BATTLE MoUNTAIN, Nev., March 16. For to-morrow’s fight Corbettis my choice. He should win, provided he ix iu perfect phys- ieal condition. He cannot afford to take any chances though. Filzsimmons, whilv a bard hitter and a good fighter, is outclassed. Cor- bett is 100 quick for him in my opinion. As to the length of the fight Iam of the opinion that it will not be a very ong one. Itshould be all over in fifteen rounds, and if the fight. l:z‘h forced then it may not last aslong as that. S Ees Retting in St, Louis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 16.—On the eve of the big tizht there 18 some anxiety here among sports to get money on the event at good odds. Small betters have been kept off the champion by the odds. This has gone on until most of the big money has been placed. When things became dull to-aay 1n the poolrooms Corbett was posted at 4 to 5. There was a rush of $5 and $10 ventures and Corb-tt was rubbed 10 71010, This class also took so much Fitzsimmons pap rat7to5 that he closed to-night at 4 to 5. Dore Silver wagered Mose Fraley, the grain broker, $500 to $1000 that Corbett would be knocked out within twelve rounds. Jockey Turbeville bet $400 against $500, taking the Fitzsim- mons ead. . St g Little Betting in Chicago. CHICAGO, Irn, March 16.—To-night there was plenty of talk about the rela- tive merits of the fighters, and admirers of the Cornishman were more in evidence than at any time in the last two months, but betting money is scarce among those who are not particular about having their names appear in print. Some wagers of considerable amounts of 7 and 81010 on Fitzsimmons were admitted to have been made at the big hotels by traveling men, but their names were withheld. sl S Farmer Lurne the Loser. CLEVELAND, Osmro., March 16.— Farmer Burns met Tom Jenkins on the mat at the Star Theater to-night, Burns agreeing to throw Jenkins twice in one hour. He not only fatled to do it, but Jenkins broke every hold with the utmost ease. Dan McLeod, who met a similar fate at Jenkins’ hands some time ago, challenged the Farmer for a match for the worla’s championship. The offer was not accepted. RN IHEIE L.i>T BATTLE, Choynski and Corbett Finiahrd Their @ame on a Barge Near Beniola. Jim Corbett's second fight of importance was against Joe Choynski on a barge anchored off Dillon’s Point, immediately opposite Beaicia. This battle decided the long-pending mooted question of suprem- acy between Jim aad Joe. The majority of sports who witnessed the *‘mill'’ left this ity on the evening before the battle on the tugs Sea Queen and Redmond, and everything went along sailingly until the swamping of a small boat which was car- rying a number of sports from the mud- bound tugs to the barge. The passengers were all water to offset the hot water they carred on board ship. Phil Crimmins and J. J.

There was considerable delay in getting the battle on account of a scarcity of boxing-gloves. Corbett had retainea pos- session of his mittens after the inter- rupted fight of & week before, but the Choynski {action had allowed Joe's gloves to be cared for by a friend who failed to reach the place of battle. Corbett, to ex- peaite matters, said that he would use his two-ounce gloves and that Choynski could don any of the several pairs of driving-gloves which were in the posses- sion of the sports, Choynsk: finally selected a pair of mitts that happened to fit him nicely and the battle was soon de- clared. Corbett startea into the engagement with a crippled right- hand, which was sore from his fight in Marin County. In the fourth round be broke the third knuckle of his left hand, but he remained on deck and fought right along toa finish. Choynski was coached_by Jack Dempsey and Corbett had Billy Delany as his pri cipal second and adviser. Demp:ey read Joe quite a lecture before the contest and admonished him to stay away from Cor- bett, otherwise he would leave him to look out for himself. Choynski listened implicitly to the then great rirg general, and, acting under instructions, he re- ceived a terrible fuee-nunchin%.. Corbett, who is a long-range fighter, jabbed Choyn- ski with his leit until thereceiver conld hardly see his opponent. Ins desperation toward the close of the fight Eddie Graney instructed Choyn- ski, contrary to Dempsey’s wishes, to get in close and mix it up with Corbett, and he sailed in and slogged with right and left. Corbett appeared for the first time at a disadvanta e, but Choynski had com- menced his new style of fighting too late in the game. He was exiremely weak from loss of blood and the exertion of & hot rush winded him. There were many of the spectators who said that if Choyn- ski bad cut out his own style of fi hiing and had some other second besiaes Demp- sey the result would have been different. After the battle, which lasted twenty- seven rounds, Corbett’s wounds consisted of two maimed hands, a black ey lips and a lum Choynski’s face loa&d fearful. a mass of cuts, bruises and discolorations, with both eyes in mourning. 2 Corbett's next contest of any note was a six-round bout against Jake Kilrain in New Orleans on February 18, 1890. Corbett “smothered” Kilrain, and was given the decision. But his next battle, which was the hardest of all, took place in the old Californja Club against Peter Jackson, the colored neavy-weight champion of Aus- tralis. The contest was declared a draw at the end of the sixty-first round. Both men manifested such marked cleverness that heavy blows were out of the quest:on, and The Soft Glow of the Tea Rose is acquired by ladies who use Pozsomr’s ComrrexioNn Powpsm. Try it. that was why the battle went on to such a length. The sports said after the fight that Jackson was gone and that he had lost his hitting powers, because he was unable to conquer Corbett, but the great colored fighter exploded that opinion when he met the then great slogger of the day, Frank P. Slayin, in England, and on the evening of March 30, 1892, Slavin was whipped to a finish and was knucked out in the tenth round. Racing at New Orleans.
