THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 23, 1897. FITL PROVED THE BETTER PUGILIST Won Fairly, According to the Verascopic Pictures. At Few Stages of the Fight Did Corbett Have an Advantage: The Fourteenth Round Is Remark- ably Vivid, but There Is No Sgn of a Foul. NEW YORK as has been clai the fight at Carson until dropped him with a body-blow in the fourteenth round, the verascopic pictures s seen by a great crowd to-night do not show such a coundition. /The general opinion was that Fitzsimmons proved the better pugilist and won iairly. The pictures are remarkably good. The first pictures shown upon the can- vas show the entrance of Corbett and Fitzsimmons, together with their train- ers, in the ring. Before the first bell sounds, Jim and Bob walk in front of the verascope and bow, both ling good- naturedly. Fitzsimmons’ refusel to shake hands is plain enough. Then the battle begins, To the surprise of the crowd Fitz- simmons began fo g matters, and Cor- bett for the first e rounds was seen to be on the deiensive. Jf anything, Fitz had the better of all these rounds, accord- ing to the pictures. The fourth and fifth rounds seemed to be in Corbett’s favor. Every one anxious to see the sixth round, for Corbett has made many claims that he was deprived of a verdict by rez- son of the slow count. The picture shows Corbett forcing matters and Fitz appar- ently blocking swings and clinching. In a sort of a clinch near the further side of | the ring Fitz is suddenly seen to slip on his knees, his arms around Corbett’s legs. As Siler begins to count off the seconds he pushes Corveit away. Fitz seems to be coolly waiting for a chance to rise. He is far from groggy and when he does stand he pegins to fight back strongly. Daring the next half-dozen rounds Cor- bett appears to be growing tired, while Fitzsimmons, on the other hand, seems to be gaining strength. “This is the fourteenth round,” the young man who had been describ; the piciures. “Watch now for that foul blow,” was the remark heard on all sides, because of all the alleged pictures published re- cently. “Tuere he goes!” was ths cry, as Fitz | finally put a terrific left into the pit of Jim’s stomach. As Corbett began to sink Bob made another motion to hit him with his left, but whether he landed or not no- body could teli, for the pictures did not show it. “Where's tke foul?” shouted the crowd. “Fake!” howled many persons, but they were quickly silenced by a picture of Corbett on his hands and knees, his face horrible with agony. Films were also taken of tne incident where Corbett rushes across the ring in | frenzy and strikes Fitz in his corner. This forgetfulness was received with hisses. SAUSALITO'S PGOLROCHS. In Lieu of Licenses, Their Proprietors Will Be Fined and Permitted to Remain. SAUSALITO, CAr., May 22 —Next Mon- day is the day on which the poolroom operators will open their gambling dens in Sausalito. Everything is in readiness for them, even to tie courls of justice. Prosecuting Attorney Adolph Sylva was seen to-day, and was requested to state whataction the town authorities would take to put & stop to the illegal business, 8aic he: “As soon as they commence to sall pools on the races 1 shall instruct the Town Marshal to arrest the principals, and I shall prosecute the cases and pro- cure convictions if it is a possible thing, and I believe it 1s. “I do not think that the poolmen can be run out of Sausalite. While we may procure convictions against them . the limit of the fine that can be imposed is $300. In this town there is a divided feel- ing. The residents on the hill do not want the poolmen to do business, while the business men in the town and those living on the water front are anxious to have them to come to town, as they spend considerable money here. However, the Town Trustees cannot, under the ordi- nances now in force, exact a license from the pooimen, It is my intention to arrest the men and, on their conviction, they will be fined an amount sufficient to cover what, they would pay in licenses—say $250 a month. By doing this the town will lose nothing, and as to compelling - the pool- men to leave town that isimpossibie. They wiil undoubtedly pay their tine, con- tinue business, be srrested again and con- victed a second, third or any number of times.” The Western Union Company has com- pleted its arrangements by which the poolrooms will be connected with direct wires to Eastern tracks. The companies which have signified their intention of orening on Monday are Harricon & Co. and Abrahams & Co. M. Schwartz is still looking for a place wherein to begin busi- ness. —_—— Population of Los Angelss.

PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., May 22.—With its second day’s session concluded, the Pacific Grove Studenis’ Conference gives promise of even greater succ>ss than was anticipated with meetings. The college men are settling down to the work—and the plea-ure, also— that has brought them together. The “sillside meeting,” so popular at Caza- dero last year, have been instituted, and that of to-night proved to be one of the most enjoy teatures of the day. | The first sessiou of the second day was Methodist Episcopal church.

His talk was ad- | dressed to the students’ delegation meet- This class seems so far to be the most successful of the conference and is most largely attended. Mr. Mictiener in | the course of his aadress made one point very strongly felt by his hearers—that no education, col'ege or otherwise, was com- | plete withont at least a superficial knowl- edge of the Bible. Speaking merely from a literary standpoint, no education could be called well rounded without such knowledge. The moral point and the | reason for Bible study in college courses he also dwelt upon ably and at length. The Bible-class, which is in charge of Rob-rt F. Lewis, was conducted by him at 11:30 o'clock, immediately after the platiorm mesting. Mr. Lewis said among other things that he found that the great- | est need of college as-ociations was suit- | ably trained leaders for Bible-classes, and that therefore the leaders of this confer- ence would endeavor to make the Bib'e- classes one of iis principal features and would devote much time thronghout the convention to equipping men for this re- sponsible work, Most of the delegates havine never be- fore visited this locality, the recreation time this afternoon was devoted to riding, driving, boating, swimming or whatever kind of pleasure best suited each particu- lar man. The students were particularly pleased with the famous 17-mile drive and the magnificent grounds surrounding Hotel del Monte.

Stockton While Attempting Three Minutes, CHARLES CAVILL, the Famous English Swimmer, Drowned at to Remain Under Water for oclock in the south chapel Mr. | DEATH OF CAVILL, THE WATER KING The Aquatic Champion| Dies in His Favorite Element. Drowned While Giving an Exhibition in Stockton Baths. Essays to Remain Under for Three Minutes and Is Brought Up a Corpse. STOCKTON, Car, May 22 —Charles Cavill, the world-famous English swim- mer, was drowned to-night at Jackson Baths, south of this city, in the presence of 400 people, while giving an exhibition. He was slated to stay under the water for three minutes, and to-morrow, when it was anticipated that the crowd would be lar:er, he was to have tried to break his own record of five minutes and five sec- onds under water. After giving several exhibitions of fancy and fast swimming it was announced that Cavill would go under the water and re- main there for three minutes. Every man in the crowd who had a watchdrew it out, and when the word was given and the swimmer wentdown in the deepest part of the baths every man began counting off the minutes. Hardly a person in the throng spoke as one minute elap ed and the ripple made by the great swimmer smoothed over and the immense pond was smooth as glass. The manager for the swimmers who are here called out the balf-minutes and min- utes. One minute, then two, then three, and then the spectators began to hold their breaths, as they supposed the swimmer beneath the water was doing. Four min- utes passed, and some one ventured the remark that Cavill intended to break his record to-night instead of to-morrow. When five minutes had sped by and the breatbless throng was watching every rip- ple, the manager called out the time in a loud voice and whistled as though to sig- nal Cavill to come up. The crowd began to believe the whole exhib:tion a fake and to treat it asa joke. It the Englishman had come up then tuey would never have believed that he had been under the water all that time. Seven and a half minutes elapsed and the manager frantically sent for Kahn, one of the exhibition swimmers, and told bim to dive for Cavill. The crowd thought this part of the fake and laughed as Kahn went down repeatedly. Even his fellow-swimmers, who were giving ex- hibitions here, were not certain but that he was playing a joke on them. Nine and a half minutes had elapsed when Kahn dived for the last time, and this time he brought up the body of Cavill. ‘The swimmers at once saw that the Engiishman was drowned, but the crowd thought at first that their efforts to revive him were vart of the fake, and said so. It was soon evident that such was not the case, and dozens of willing hands began the attempt to bring the swimmer to life. Work as they would they could not put life into him. "Dr. Manly and Dr. Hinkle were summoned. For an hour and a quarter they worked over Cavill, assisted by the spectators. Every known remedy was applied. An electric battery was brought into requisition, and nothing was left undon at might be done to bring the man to life. During that hour and a quarter the crowd atood about the room in which the physicians were laboring over the drowned man. One woman fainted, and others had to leave the scene. A curious incident in connection with the drowning is the fact that just before Cavill went Cown he was asked by a spec- tator to write something on a slate under- neath the water. He asked what to write and was told to write the day of the k. When he came up after doing this he tossed theslate on the side of the baths and said : “Saiturday; is that all rizht?"” T'he word was written in chalk and the slate Was 50 wet that it could not be read. Adter ho was brouglt to the surface in a in various parisof the world. drowned condition Frank Butters picked up the slate, which was then dry, and read on it the words “Idie.”” Tuis is the con. struction placed on the writing by somer but others be'ieve it to bs the word “Sat” urday” poorly written. It was 11:15 o’clock when the physician finally gave theswimmer up. Cavill leave: a wife and child in San Francisco. s s g CAREER OF CAVILL. he Aquatic Champion Came of & Fam- ity of Swimmers. Charles Cavill was without doubt the peer of all modern swimmers—the undis- vuted all-round squatic champion of the | world, Although but 26 years of age he had won over a hundred championships On aceount of his having acquired the appellation of the “Australian phenomenon,” it has been generally supposed that he was a native of the Antipodes. This is not the fact. He was born in England, but was taken to Anstralia by bis parents when a child. Cavill came from a family of swimmers. His father was the champion of the world before him, acquiring what was his great- est fame by swimming across the Englizh Channel. A younger brother of deceased is at present in Eagland swimming against ail comers. When but three years of age Charles Cavill swam an exhibition mile before Queen Victor.a and the royal family. His record in Australia was one bright series of victories. He made a trip to this country last year and accomplished the feat of swimming | across the Golden Gate—something that bad never been done before, although frequently attempted. He returned to Australia after giving severul exnibitions here, but came back again about a month ago. Last Sunday he competed against | Dana Thompson, the Pacific Coast short- | distance champion, at the Chutes, and | met the first defeat of his lite. | Hs friends accounted for this by ex- | plaining that the champion was taken with cramps. | Cavill leaves a widow and baby hoy, | both of whom are now in this City. Per- | sonaliy he was a most popular young fel- low, possessing a sunny disposition and baying a good word for everytosy. He | made friends wherever he went. i = 3 | 8AN JUSE 10 CELLBRATE.
