THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1897. TWENTY ROUNDS 10 A DRAW No Decision in the Contest Between Jeffries and Ruhlin, IT WAS A HOT FiGAT Jeffries came out of this rally with a badly cut eye and a bloody mouth. In the sixth round Rublin hit Jeffries a flush right on t e mouth that caused the receiver to see all kinds of stars. Jeffries did not desire any more of this, and he backed away from his cpponent. In the seventh round Jeffries slipped and fell near his own cornerin an attempt to get away from Ruhlin’s right. There was a warm exchange of blows near the close of the round. After this round the fighters took thingseasy,-nz the pace they were going at was too severe for big men to hold out azainst witbout taking a breatning spell. In-the tenth round Jeffries slipped to his knees in the center of the ring. In the eleventh round Jeffries got the worst of the exchanges. In the fourteenth round Jeffries, under the advice of bis manager, Delaney, forced the game, but he found that his opponent had ammunition up his sieeve and after a tew short rallies be took matters eaey. There was no fighting from this on worthy of note until the eighteenth | round, when Jefiries again assumed the aggressive and Ruhlin received some severe punishment in the body and ribs. The local man kept his right at ease un- til now, and he discovered his mistake when he found that he could plant it with telling effect under Ruhlin’s left arm.

Jeffries was about to put on the finish- ing touch when the gong sounded the end of hostilities, and Referee Ward declared the maich a draw.

Billy Madden is Ruhlin’s man- ager and backer, and Billy Delaney of Oakland has Jeffries under his wing. 1t was 10:20 o’clock when the big guns entereG the ring and were introduced to the audience. They looked trained to the hour, but Jeffries was a strong favorite. He looked every inch aa athlete. firies had as his seconds Delaney, ty Woods and Billy Gallagher.

The second round was also warmly con- tested. Jeffries sailed in to knock Ruh- lin’s head off his shoulders, but he received hot pepper in the nose and mouth, and withdrew in 2stonishment. Ruhlin did not seem’in the least bit ex- cited, but watched every movement of his | opponent closely, and sent home good medicine whenever Jeffries run his face | within shooting distance. The third round turned out to be a red- hot effair. Ruhlin got a heavy left on the ear, which started his blood boiling, and be mixed things with bis powerful oppo- | nent.

Ruhlin is quick and tolerably clever, but he showea rome white feather last evening. Fitzsimmons can easily whip both men in the same ring. The first event on the programmme was to have been a fifteen-round contest be- tween the middle-weights, E. O’Malia of Oakland and Charley G ff of the San Fran- cisco Athletic Club, but it was finished in the third round. O’Malia had the best of the first round, as Goff took matters easy. In the second round Goff wokeup when he received a coup'e of hard lefts on the nose and then the battle was on. It was a hot round to the finish, and the men’s faces were painted red when the gong sounded to corners. The third round was a repetition of the econd. O'Malia fought a game battle, ut Goff’s left glove was continuously in his face. The fighters paid no attention to body blows. The face was the objective point | of attack and Goff sent O'Malia on his back just before the gong sounded by a straight left on the chin. The blow that made O'Malia sick was a flush right on the which cut a wide gash over the optic. Referee Wand deciared Goff the winner when the fignters were escorted to their corners. Both men were heartily cheered. Charles Reno of San Francisco and Bob McCrosson were the next brace of short-haired celebrities to put in anap- pearance. Billy Jordan announced that it would be a ten-round go. The bout was quite interesting. Me- Crosson proved to ve a game little fellow who has vet much to learn about self- defense. Eeno is an old ring general, but notwithstanding that he painted McCros- son’s left side a bright red from continu- ous right-hand punches, the little fellow never iurched during the mill, but always came to the scratch ready to take and give purishment. Reno bad bis opponent very groggy at times during the contest, but he was un- able to finish the Manhattan Club mem- ber. McCrosson wasa favorite with the gallery gods, and when Referee Wand gave the fight to Reno he was loudly hissed but the decision was neverthless just, and received applause from those who are com- petent to judge a pugilistic contest, Jose Ramon P.co has filed a contest to the will of his late mother, Pilar Bernal de Pico.

It will be a competition stich as the Pacitic Mail Steamship Company has never had before. The projectors will have nothing to fear and no favors to ask from the present monopoly. At the present moment a report is being prepared in this City to be forwarded to one of the wealthiest corporations in Lon- don. This is being done by a prominent representative of the corporation referred to, who is in this City temporarily on business, This gentleman had occasion recently to make a trip on the Pacific Mail’s steamer Acapulco, betw een Panama and Ban Francisco. During his voyage he saw and learned enough to warrant him in making a re- port to the directors of his company, sug- gesting to them the advisability of esta lishing a line of steamers in opposition to the Pacific Mail. He gathered full and detailed informa- tion of the possibilities of trade between Sun Francisco and Central and South America, and of the financial and com- mercial standing of the countries to the south of the United States. The result of his investigations was more than encour- agine. This, with his experience of the inefficiency and inadequacy of the service of the Pacific Mail, induced him to take up the matter. Speaking of the subject yesterday he said: While the difference between BSan Francisco and Panama is somewhat greater than between Panawna and Val- paraiso, there are three times as many steamers engaged in the trade between the isthmus and the Chilean port than between this port and Panama. And as to rates, the Pacific Mail charges between three and four times as much as the com- panies that operate to the south of the isthmus. ‘The two principal companies that run vessels out of Valparaiso to Panama are the Pacific Steam Navigation Company and a company of Chileans. The latter company pays its sharenolders about 20 per cent; what the other pays Ido not know. But from these facts it can be esti- mated what enormous dividends the Pa- cific Mail stockbolders must be getting from their S8an Francisco-Panama line. “Four steamers a week are dispatched from Valparaiso for Panama and way vorts, while the Pacitic Mail sends out only one steamer every ten days. There is at least three times the quantity of cargo carried from Valparaiso north than there is from San Francisco south. “I had indisputable and most convine- ing evidence of the fact that the com- merce between this port and Central and South Americin ports is being throttled by the dog-in-the-manger policy of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. I was repeatedly a witness of scenes at Central American ports while making the voyage to this City that impressed me in a rcost significant way. Think of shippers hav- ing to actually beg on their knecs for the privilege of having their coffee carried on a steamer at exorbitant rates of freight. Turee coffee-planters who came up with me, and all the individuals with whom I spoke in Uentral America, told a similar story of their individual exp-riences. “What appeared to be another outrage is that the Panama Railroad reiuses to carry any cargo across the isthmus, from poinis north of Panama, that does not come to Panama_ on one of the steamers of the Pacific Mail Company. I have good rea- son to believe that there is an agreement between the two companies to this effect. This is a most important matter to the coffee planters, as it is always desirable to get the coffee to the market at the earliest day. When it cannot go to Europe by way ofthe isthmus it has to take the long voyage around the Horn. “This policy will certainly hurt this country. 1 believe that the trade of Cen- tral and South America belongs to the United States. 1f this coasi were prop- erly attended to, the irade to Central America alone would employ three times the number of vesse!s now engaged in it and three times the number of people. “As the outcome of all this, it may sur- prise the Pacific Mail Company some day to find i had placed itself in a position where it will huve to face an independent and energetic opposition steamsinp line.”’ This gentleman’s personal experience of the way passengers are cared for on the s-eamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship (ompany, between Panama and San Francizco, was recorded in his diary. It will be sent on to London as part of his report. Excerptsfrom it follow: The advertised time of leaving Panama was Monday, May 31, at 4 P. M., but owing to vari- ous causes we were deiayed until Tuesday, June 1, at 6 . Instead of going direct to Libertad, Salvador, as we shou.d have donc, we had, under an ar- rangemen: made with the company’s agents in Panams, to wasie a day and & half in order to land a politieal d gni:ary at Corinto, Nica- ragus. On Friday, the 4th, we were only going half speed in order 10 make Corinto—a port that cunnot be entered at night—early on Saturday morning. Nicaragua’s chief port was accord- ingly entered at 6 A. M. on the 5th. The political dignitary of tiat republic having been duly ianded, we had to remein in the river until the tide made and enabled the steamer to swing around. By 4 P. ). we were under way for Libertad, which we made at 5A. M. on the Gin. After discharging and taking in cargo at Libertsd we leit for Aca- jutla. We arrived there the same evening. In the ordinary course the officers of the ship and the passengers expected we would be under way again by aiternoon, but ss the agent expressed a wish 10 detuin the ship until two passengers arrived on the following day from salvador detained she was. Ou Tuesday, the 8th, work was practically suspended; there was next o no cargo to tuke in or put out. The through passengers were especially indignant at the unwarrant- able delay. AL3 inthe aiternoon severai pas- sengers for San Jose came aboard. Later on it was rumored that the ship would in ail like- Iihood be quarautined at San Jose. There- upon Captain Cattarinich very properly in- timated to the pussengers from Acsjutia that they must accept the risk of being over- carried in consequence of quarantine and be prepared Lo pay the extra cost of such over- carriage. Assoon as they heard the captain’s deliverance, with one or two exceptions, they ail returned to Acsjuta. Ultimately the shore authorities sent the necessary clea: ances and we left for San Jose late in the after- noon. 1i the agent did not know he ought to have known that passengers for San Jose, which is in easy telegraphic communication withAcajutla, | Would be quarantined, and consequently to | sell them tickets would only resuit in a sense- less wasie of time and put his company to un- Decessary expense. Wedanesday. the 9th, arrived at San Jose. The heaith officer came off at 11 A. M. and im- mediatelv ordered the ship into quarantine outside the port boundaries. There being no quarantine station at San Jose, the passengers 1or that port had to remain on board the ship. Thursday, June 10—The company’s chief agenton the coast came off to-day with the captnin of the pori, He coeered us by stating thut L.e would arrange for the landiug of the Guatemala passengers (o-morrow, and then send the steamer direct to Sau Francisco. How much reliance is to be placed onsuch statements subsequent events will show. | _Friday, June 11—Early this morning the President of Guatemala suthorized the land- | ing of the temala passengers, and by 8 o'clock they were all ashore. The unloading of the eargo was then commenced, but stopped at 10 o’clock by oraer of the port authorities, who explained thet the landing of the passen- gers was authorized, but not the cargo. There Was then nothing for it but to hang about here tiil the cargo was got rid of, as the company apparently had msde up its mind to take on and discharge cargo and passengers just as usual. The health and convenience of through passengers on board was & secondary consid- eration. Saturday, June 12—Arranged to discharge the balance of the cargo to-day. Leftfor Cham- perico at 7:20 p. M. Having been told that arrangements had been made ahead togive the ship quick dispatch at all northern ports the passengers became more cheerful, al- though in conformity with what the chief agent had stated on. the 10th we really ex- pected to have headed straight for Acapulco. Sunday, June rived at Champerico 7 A. M. Found the n there. S ning to time table. We were five days be- hind it. The facilities of the port are such that only one steamer can be attended to at a time. Although we were much behind time, the sanitary condition of the ship indifferent and the passengersdeserving of consideration, it was decided to clear the Colon first. As this meant lying at ancinor in an unhealthy locality till Tuesday, the 15tn, doing ab- solutely nothing, the captain decided to go on 10 the next port, Ocos, where we arrived on Sunday afternoom. Ocos couid have been worked, and ship ready to return to Cham- verico at 4 . M. Monday, butowing to the muddiing management on shore the ship did not get away till the early morning of Tues- day. After detailing some further delays at Champe:ico the trip to Acapulcois taxen up nnder date of June 19. “All mineral waters and ale given out. Water on board, taken on at Panama, is stale and really not fit to drink. Temper- ature 98 on board under tne awnings.” At Manzanillo the ice gave out on June 22, A small supply of it was secured at Mazatlan on the 25th, butno mineral or other water. The review of the trip in the diary has this: The trip from Panama to S8an Francisco oc- cupied thirty-one days, Or at the raie of about five miles an hour. The wretched shore man- agement is responsible for delnyiug us exacily ten dnys, viz., one day at Acajutla, four and u half days at San Jose, tnree aid a half days at Champerico and Ocos and one day at San Blas. The company does not caré two rows of pins for the pussenger trade. An aged ship like the Acapulco, with neitner electric lights nor an ice machine, is not suited to carry passen- gers in the tropics. The present ‘‘hugger-mugger” system of con- ducting business in the various Central Ameri- can ports can easily be remedied if the com- pany is prepared to place competent men in charge at the chief centers 10 look after its in- terests and the interests of shippers. Two or tiree level-headed men. decently paid, would save the company their salaries ten times over. FIRE AT THE OLYMPI0 (OLUB, Put Out Before Any Damage Was Done. A fire started in a storeroom of the Olympic Club last night, but was extin- guished before any damage was done, The room 1s one in which the janitor keeps paints, oils and varnishes, and it i supposed t current from some electric wire running into the room. The flames were discovered by Harry Clark, the swimming instructor, who gave the alarm, aud George Miehling, the in- structor in wrestling, broke in the door, turned on the hose, and with the assis: ance of some of the club members present, extinguished the fire without calling out the department. It had evidently been smoldering for some time, as several had BANKS MAY BE REABSESSED Board of Supervisors Will Cite Them and Other Corporations. Must Show Cause Why the Assessor’s Figures Should Not Be Increased. The State Board of Equalization Asked to Allow an Extension of Time for the Purpose. The Board of Supervisors was engaged all yesterday afternoon as a Board of Equalization in hearing applications for reductions in assessments. Upon Clinton’s motion, Clerk Russell was instructed to ask the State Board of Equalization for an extension of ten days’ time in which to hear the statements of banks and corporations who will be cited to appear and show cause why their as- sessments should not be raised. Attorney T. D. Riordan made plea for a reduetion upon the property of the Kong Chow Beneficial Society and others in Chinatown. He declared the property to be old and had greatly depreciated in value and that the income from itis small, Deputy Assessor Briggs said that there was no doubt that the property had de- creased in value, but said that if a reduc- tion was made every propertv-owner in Chinatown would be c.amoring for re- ductions. The petition was denied. The following reductions were pranted in assessmerts in real estate improve- ments: Charles W. Gou'd, Green street, near Gough, from $2500 to $2000. John H.

The improvement club which was started in the Precita Valley over one year ago has accomplished much in the line of improving the valley. The avenue by that name has bean ex- tended from Folsom street to Alabama, on both sides of the park that will be in the near future, that is if the Supervisors will only make an appropriation sufficient to fill in the hollow which lies on either side of this roadway. With thisappro- priation an additional sum is asked for to erect a schoolhouse for the accommoda- tion of the children who are now pre. vented from receiving an education by reason of having no place within reasona- ble aistance from their homes. The immediate needs of the district were fully discussed at the club meeting last night. The necessity of putting storm-waier inlets at the crossing of Stoneman and Harrison streets, and also at Treat avenue and Stoneman stieet, was insisted upon. ; A defective sewer at Precita avenue and Harrison street, which causes a nuisance, was recommended to the attention of the Health Department. The attention of the Supervisors was again directed to the necessity of naving sidewalks placed along Army street, from the valley to the Potrero for the accom- modation of the many workmen who are compelied to travel over that road on their way to and from their work. Dauring the past week several contracts bave been let to Buckman Brothers for at the fire was staried by a | street and sewer work, which will, when finished, add muca to the improvement of Precita Valley.

JOSEPH’S PICNIC. The Parish Will Hold a Big Out- Ing at Shel Mound Park. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church was held in Si. Joseph’s Hall about two weeks ago to maks arrangements for their an- nual reunion and picnic. It was decided to hold the picnicat Shell Mound Park on Saturday, August 21. Each gentleman present was appointed a committee of one to solicit f‘;mz” for the gate and for the games. That this committee is working actively mayv be judged from the fact that at the weekly meeting held last Tuesday evening quite a large number of orders for articles, both valuable and useful, were handed in. No pains will be spared to make this picnic one of the most énjoyable outings of the season. Games will be provided for young and old, and all will have a chance !o compete for the numerous prizes offered. The committee of arrangements has de- cded to hold weekly meetings on Tues- day evenings ‘'rom now on. | Miller, Mrs. i NEW TO-DAY. 18906 MODEL CLEVELAND BICYCLES 50!
