VINCENT BREAKS NOME RECORDS. An Immense Crowd Attends the Olympic Wheelmen's Velo- drome Meet, ROBINSOY SHOWS 600D SPEED. Wing and Russ Took the Oracks of the Amateur COlass Into Their Camp. The Olympic Club Wheelmen’s cycle meet at the Velodrome yesterday after- noon drew the Jargest crowd that has ever assembled at a similar gathering in this city. The grand stands were packed with people, and the races went off with a vim and dash that reflected credit on both the riders and the management. Vincent’s time by miles was 1:52 2.5, 3:521-5, 6:03, 8:093-5 and 10:17. His pacing was done by two triplet teams manned by Kroetz, Borree and Coulter and Loos, Nash and ragness, and two tandems with Davidson and McGilvray and Menne and Boeckman up. Vincent | rode strong from start to finish, and only once, and then but for a short time, did one of the triplet teams succeed in leaving him. Of the open competitions the one-mile scrateh, professional event, was perhaps the most interesting. Downing of San Jose, Whitman of Los Angeles, Jones of San Fraucisco, Sharick’ of Tacoma and Palmer of San Diego qualified for the final. Elford was put 1u 10 pace and took the bunch along at a good clip. Jones, who was last for three laps, worked his | way up to third position and then to the iront on the bell lap. Sharick was boxed | behind Jones and Downing and couid not get through. When the final sprint came | Downinggorgea ahead and heid bis posi- tion to the tape, with Sharick and Jones fighting for secona place betind him. It | was a close decision between them and | the judges gave it to Sharick. -The time | was 2:14 3-5. Sharick and Jones on scratch, Vaughn | at 15 yards, Downing 20, Whitman 40 and Eiford 50 started in the two-thirds ofa mile handicap profesional, final heat. The four limit men were soon bunched, and Jones paced Sharick up to them, Ei- ford, Jones and Downing exchanging pace for three laps. Vaughn started an sprint which caught Sharick asleep, wrsall but left. He came fast at the finish, however, and got a bplace. Downing had lots of speed left for the fin- | ish and won out bandily, Jones taking second, Sharick third. Time, 1:37. In the final of the mile handicup, ama- teur, Russ on scrateh, Wing scratch, Fuller 20 yardis. Wyman 40, Robinson 70 and Theisen 90 were the starters. Fuller soon caught the limit men, and Winz also paced Russ up tothem. Fuller set pace the second and third laps, and when Kob- inson moved up oL ihe fourth the bunch was moving fast. Wing had playea for position, being in second place, Russ third. Robinson started an early sprint for home 2na held it until he looked al- most a winner. Wyman tried to get through on the inside and was crowded back. Wing started around the bunch and Ross fell back beaten, while Fuller came on crowding Wing and Robinson to their utmost speed. As tue crowd flashea across the tape Wing led, Fuller second and Robinson thirl. Russ came last. The same field as in the amateur handi- cap competed in tha one-third of a mile scratch, which was a dashing event, both in the preliminary hests and final. = kul- ler, Cook, Robinson, Russ, Mottand Wing qualified by winning their heats. Robin- son and Russ went up to the front at the crack of the pisiol, Wine getting away poorly and being last These positicns were the same on the bell lap. Wing tried hard to improve his position, but could not do 1t in the short distance left. Russ proved an eary winner and Robinson agzain consistantly rode into second place. The hardest fight was back of these posi- tions and the judges awarded a clo-e de- cision for third between Cook and Mott to the former. Loos, Nash and Kragness, mounted on a triplet, defeated Kroetz, Borree and Tantau 1in a mile unpaced event in 5 45, starting from opposite sides of the track.

German Marksmen Form a Pa- rade and With Flying Ban- ners March to the Ferry. San Francisco Grutli and the Oalifor- nia Sohuetzen Hold Monthly Medal Contests. The range at Schuetzen Park, near San Rarfael, presented a scene of animation yesterday seldom equaled. The incessant crack of the rifles, the smeil of smoke, the enthusiasm of the shooters and the ex- citement kept the interest of the marks- men at fever heat throughout the day. The occasion was one of special interest, inasmuch as the shooting sections of the San Frencisco Turn Verein, Deutscher | Kriegor Verein, Red Men and Vercin Eintracht were present and shot for cash and other prizes. The light on the targetd was steady and strong, and save for a few times during the day when clouds passed between the sun and the range it was anideal day. The wind was favorable and in no way affected the sbooting. Toe shooting continued during the morning, and at noon the marksmen ad- journed to ainein the large hall, where Fred Schueman, the Lost, had a repast spread, to which full justice was done. Captain Kuhls of the Deutscher Krieger Verein proposed a toast to Governor Budd, who had allowei the German organiza- tions to parade under arms in honor of this occasion. Tue toast was drunk by the entire assemblage and great enthusi- asm was shown. The closing shoot of Schuetzen Club will take place on October 17, wlen the club’s members will com pete for cash prizes offered by Fred Schue- mann, the proprietor of the grounds near San Rafael. Besides the great shoot the grounds were crowded throughout the day by the merry picnickers who accompanied the organizations to the park. The dance pavilion, bowling ailey and other places of amusement were scenes of activity all day, and one of the features of the picnic was the exhibilin given by the members of the drum corps of the Turner-Schuet- | zen under Sergeant Freda Tecklenburg. The Califorria Schuetzen Club aud the San Francisco Grutli also held their monthly shoois. The following scores were made by the members of the Cah- fornia Schueizen Ciub in their regular monthly medal shoot: First champion class—First medal, D. W. Leughlin, 430; second medal, A. Strecker, Second chempion class—First medal, A. F. Robinson, 436; second medal, F. P. Schuster, 4i6. First class—First medal, P. Brunotte, 43 second medai, F. E.

Large Number of the Curious Visit the Men at Their Respective Quarters. Interest in the Dixon-Smith fight in- creases as the time for the battle ap- proaches and the betting to-day is ex- pected to be very lively. Neither of the boys did much work yesterday and were compelled to retire to their rooms to | avoid the curious crowd which hung about their training quarters all day. Smith took a little exercise on the beach and after his rub down loitered about his quarters the remainder of the day. Tim McGrath kept a watchful eye on him and would not permit him to be an- noyed by his numerous visitors. The greatest confidence is expressed by his trainers and those who have watched him closely in his ability to win to-nicht. Over in Alameda, where D:xon has been prepared, there is but one sentiment ex- pressed. Itisall over but the shouting. Dixon did a little work ve:terday, and after his rubdown weizhed 1i8 pounds. His confidence in himself is so great that he seems almost indifferent as to to- night's battle, and neither his manager | nor trainers seem the least bit more ap- prebensive than he. He does not care to talk about the fight, butsaid: “I am feeling as well as I ever uid in my life and am confident of winning to- morrow night. 1 beat Smth once and don’t see why 1 shouldan’t do it again. If the public are figuring that I have gone back they are making a great mistake. 1 am far from being an old man and feel that I have manv good fizhts left in me yet. My friends need have no fear of my condition.” The foundation for the assertion that Dixon has “‘gone back’’ seems to be the fact that he has trained for such a great number ot battles that it has impaired his constitution. While it is true that Dixon has had more than 6% fights, by far ihe greater number were simply limited- round goes—most of them being but four | rounds, and for these he never trained. Saia Tom O’Rourke, yesterday: ‘“‘This is Dixon’s fifty-eighth real battie, and he has trained that number of times. What is more, I don’t believe it has hurt nim a bit. 1 see there has been some about biiting in clinches,” he con- tinued, “snd don’t see what it is all about. Smith has come out with the statement that be will in- sist on hitting in a clinch.

Dennis’ right to be called amateur champion ol the Pacific Coast in the senior skiff ciass it was settled at the races at El Campo yesterday. Dennis got a shade the worstof the start, but quickly regained his loss and the race was ciose to the stukeboat. Both turned the wrong way, and in passing McCausland ran his boat’s bow under Den- nis' starboard outrigger, causing a foul that lost several seconds. In the Tow | home Dennis demonstrated his superior- ity, and won as he pleased, ten lengths separating him from his beaten opponent. nnis’ time 1o the stakeboat was 5:15, and for the race—cne and a half miles with a turn—12:57. The Pape-Paich match race was more exciting through being more closely con- | tested, Pape winning in 13:1414.

The distribution of prizes will take place next Thursday night. Ninety-seven out ot every 100 Arctic ex- plorers have retlurned alive, that is just what we want, We contended for that in the Hawkins fizht and Dixon has always iavored following the Queens- bury rules literally.” Most of the best seats have already been sold and the indications are that there will be as creat a crowd present to-night as at the Walcott-Green fight. There was little betting done yesterday, but the big money is expected to come in to-day and the poolroom men say they wilt bandle at Jeast $50,000 or: the fight. A rumor was circulaied last night (prob- ably with the intention of influencing the betting) that Dixon had sprained his ankle. The rumor was without foundation an- abwolutely false. Dixon went to bed at 8:30 o’clock sound in everv way, and Tom | O Rourke indignantly denied that be uad burt bimseif, HUNTING THE WARY DUCK. Very few duck hunters took advantage of the pleasant weather yesterday to visit the marshes and preserves about the bay. Those who went did uot return with beavv bags. They report ducks scatce and very shy. and was a length to the bad when Pao® turned the stake boat. On the run hom® the perfectly trained Pape rowed superbly and opened a gap_that Patch could not close. Pape could have won by ten lengths, but contented himseif with cross- ing the line with four lengihs oven behind his boat. Dr. Dennis was given an ovation on the boat coming home by tne enthusiastic South Ends. Following are the charge of the events: Regatta comm ittee—John L Nolan (chair- man), Ariel Rowing_Club: John D. Mahoney (secretary), South End Rewing Ciub; A. P Rothkopi, Dolphin Rowing Clun; 8. J.

Timer. taib, Dolphins: Walter Blake, Ari South Ends; W. B. Hinchman, and if their loud outbursts of enthusiasm can be taken as a criterion they thor- ourhly enjoyed the lively game. Before 2 o’clock a long line of *‘fans” stood in line anxious to get in, and by the time practice began the spacious grand stand and bleachers were filled, and along the foul line, near first base, the crowd stood three deep. Blum’'s Band was stationed in the grand stand and beiore the game entertained the waiting spectators with popular airs. This last innovation is promised at every game. A pleasing feature of the day was the large sprinkling of the fair sex who at- tended. The many houses overlooking the field were crowded with people who, although unable to pay admission, seemed to get nearly as good a view of the interesting contest as those in<ide of the grounds. The grounds and their appurtenances surpass anything of their kind ever erected in this St The grandstand and bleachers are so located as to receive the benefit of the sun during the whole game, those seated in the reserved section being sheltered from the glare by the { overhanging roof. The initial game of a series in which the winning team is to take 5 per cent the gross receipts was won by Sacramen- to’s representatives after briliiant and speedy playing. The teams used Cpalding’s official league ball, and the difference between that and the “vellow” chunk of lead was noticeable. Sacramento had first chance at bat and Smith caught the first ball on the end of his bat and sent it skimming along foul territory. Making another at- tempt he landed for a single to Dean, who got under tbe ball, but dropped it. Hennessy sent a swift grounder to short and was thrown out at the initial bag, Speedy Smith meanwhile taking third on Tate any event in set up by Rameses t! the play. J. Hughes scored him soon fter with a it to second, and gaining his base on the error. Fiizgerald next went outon a bunt toward second. Perrine gave the first sign of wildness in tais in- ning, which eventually lost Reliarce the game, by presenting Shanaban with a base on balls. Then occurred the greatest play of the dav. Lockhead seuta sky-scraper in back short, and Arlett, who was playing that position, ran backwards for aboat fifteen feet and making a great leap got the ball as it neared the ground. The applause that greeted this phenomenal catch was deafening and lasted over five minutes. Thisended the inning. In their balf Reliance cofild do nothing with Hughes delivery, two men being fannec. In the second inning the “Breweres’” added a run on a sacrifice, single and Hennessy's slow bunt to second. The Oaklanders tied the score in their half, and it remaines in that condition | until the sixth_inning, when the Giit Kdges toucned P -rrire off for four sin- gies. Harvey wasfirst up and went out on a hit to short. E. Hughes singles to rightand Lockhead did the same, the | former taking second and third on the singie, Smith sent an easy one to Arleit, who threw to “Graceful’’ Maguire, who dropped the ball, Hughes in the meantime scoring. Hennessy filied the bag by sin- gling past third. Fitzgerald lined the ball to Arlett, who blocked it, but before he could recover the sphere Lockhead and Smith had tallied. Shanahan ended the run-making by going out on a hit to second. When the Reliance came to bat in thetr half of the sixth they connected with Hughes for three swats, one of t.em being a two-bagger. They should have scored in this inning and would have done so but for poor coaching, Nealon led off with a single past the second cushion and Stulz | then hit todeep centur for two bases and Nealon tookx two bases on the hit and tried to score. Shanahan got the sphere and threw to Lockhead at second, and that player got the ball home just in time to spoil Nealon’s attempt. Dean also got a hit, but the next two men succumbed to Hughes' speedy pitchine. Tue Sacramentos added another in the ninth, giving them a lead that Reliance could not overcome. Hughes was in splendid form, and the hard hitters from across the bay were not able to domucudamage. Heonly allowed them five hits and Las a record of ten strike-outs. Perrine was wild throughout the game, and to this may be attributed one of the reasons of Reliance’s defeat. Stanly caught one of the prettiest of games and capoed the climax by getting under an impossiole foal in the ninth. ’ll'tm following score tells the story in de- | | tail: GILT EDat: AB R BE SB. PO.

A slim crowd, less than 1200 people, witnessed the contest at Central Park, played with a dead ball, between Santa | Cruz and the Heesemans. Errors and misconceptions on the part of the players | | prolonged the game. Swith and Boriand | for the Heesemans, and Devereaux for | Santa Cruz added zest to an otherwise i featureless affair.

It was in the last half of the eighth that Boriand distinguished himself. He made | a grand-stand catch of a sky-tearing ball warm from McGrath’s bat.

Previous to the game there was a series of 100 vard races, which resulted as fol- lows: Jim Nealon, the sturdy right-fielder of the Reliance Club, who is an a: weigher in the Custom-Louse, and who. piewinhed for the lesing ciub in the ball game, defeated D.

STOCKTON, CaL, Oct. 3—One of the best baseball zames played here in a year took place nt Goodwater Grove to-day be- tween the O.vmpics of San Francisco and the Stcckton nine. It was the second game of the new league series and was anyboay’s game up to the besinning of the ninth inning. Then the boys who wore the winged *'0” had one more tally to their credit than the locat ball-tossers, the game having been & stru -gle from the time the first ball was pitcned. The grand stand and bleachers were crowded with spectators and the snappy play brought cheers from the crowds of enthusiasts. The first two innings were close, the score standing nothing to nothing. In the third inning the Stocktons made one tally, and they placed three more to their credit in the fourtn, by clever work, amidst great cheering. ) The Olympics were in luck in the fourth, for Eagan, who held down the second cushion, made a costly érror that let two men 1n another get in on a hit by one of the San Franciscans. In fI sixth and seventh they added two tallies each, placing them in the lead. De Costa, the Stockion’s twirler, had his eye and arm with him and pitched a splendid game.
