6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1897. BORCKMANN WO THE ROAD RACE | Bay City Wheelmen Cap-| ture the Ten-Mile Asso- ciation Handicap. \ WERE [EROUS. C. M. Smith Took Fastest Time and Second-Place Honors to His San Jose Club. ACCIDENTS DAVIDSON'S GREAT PERFORMA The Rough Course Made Record-Break- ing Impossible in the j Number of Tumbles. | Save A new planet electrified the astrono- mers of cvcledom yesterday morning as it flashed across the tape at Haywards the winner of the great annual ten-mile handicap of the California Associated Cycling Clubs. There had been a gather- ing of all the stars in the cycle firma- ment of the coast a short half-hour before at Fruitvale to contest in this big event. Many were named as probable winners, but no one ven d a suggestion pointing to the victor. Tne Bay City, Imuverial, Olympic and Acme consiellations at- tracted the most notice, but the one brignt star shining mostresplendent at the fin.su was Fred G. Boeckmann of the Bay City Wheelmen, who crossed ihe line at the | finish with such a lead over all kis com- petitors as to make the victory a most de- cisive one. | Yesterday's roadrace, the annual fall handicap, had been looked forward to by | four score and ten ers for six weeks past. *Fall handicap” is no misnomer for it. Every year this race (always run in October) is the scene of more tumbles compared to the number of men entered than any other event the association pro- motes, probanly because it is such a short, dashing affair, snd yesterday was no ex- ception to the rule In mapy respects the finish was the same as all previous events of this kind. There was the usual surging crowd, the officials vainly trying to catch numbers and times and the nd in bunches of as many as a dozen someumes dashing | madly toward the tape iu the endeavor to #in one of the prizes varying from a gold watch to a subscription to a cycling paper alme st at the risk of their Jives. There was great excitement at the start | - the hurry and scramble | at Fruiivale, and some of the back-mark men were sent away before the time their handicap in- dicated. The 1:15 and 1 minute men got away together, the 45 second men went on the 1 minute mark and the ecratch men went on the 45-second men’s time. This was nota serious error, how- ever, as the timers at the other end de- | ducted the excess from tner finishing time. It would have been bad had the back-markers ridden 1nto any of the positions for place prizes, but only four did and they were disqualified from re- ceiving ang place prize. They were John L. Davidson, T. H. White, J. E. Wing and Tony Delmas. But the great trouble was at the finish. | Previous arrangements had been mude with the electric road which skirts the course 1o have a special car for the offi- cials of the race at the start, which was to take them right through to the finish without a stop as soon as the riders were sent away. A regular passenger-car got abead of it, however, the superintendent wouid not sidetrack i, and the result was ihat all but a few officials who had fortu- nately gone on ahead were at the tinish to | properly score and time the result. The special car, No. 13, got in five minutes after the race was uver. The officers of the association were very much dis- gruntled, and say that the company broke faith with them "and thatit will have to look elsewhers than to them for the sup- pert of the cvele track they are now con- structing at E mhurst. About the race itself§Sthere was not much of interest. The rough road caused many tuwmbles, but none of serious conse- quence. Lind 'of the Imperials fell, bring- ing down his proverbially ‘unlucky club mate Bozio, Kragness (Olympic) and Squires (Acme). They escaped with a | few scratches. Menne and Gilman, Bay | Uity; O'Brien of San Jose, Swain (Acme), | Casey of the taliornia Club, Harry Ken- nedy (Acme), Cramer of Reliancs, L. H Smitn, Olympic, were all victims of chuck | hoies or rocks and came in contact with motber earth, more to the damage of the machines than themselves, though witch- hazel, arnica and cotton batting sold at Klondike prices in Huywards shortly after the finish. W. H. Allen of tke California Club took the worst cronper of them all, and a hasty exXamination by an embryvo doctor elicited | stant THE OBSERVED oF ALL:: A SKIRT - NO_BLOOMERS. bone, which was afterward changed w0 a dislocate | shoulder. The Imperial and Acme club men had hard-luck stories to tell after the 1zce. With twenty-two men eutered not an Acme crossed the line until twenty-fifth place, owing to their many accidents, and only thirteen out of tae original brave two and twenty finished atall. The Imperials had sixieen starters, of whom twelve got through, but none before twenty-first position. The new San Jose ciub, the Garden City veelmen, made a splendid showing. Tuey only had three men entered—C. M. Smith, he of loccmotive-racing fame; Tony Delmas, the ladies’ pride, and George Thorne, late of the classic =hades of Ala- meda. Smith made the fastest time of the day (27:32 3-5) and also won second place, Thorne won sixth position and Deimas was second of the scratch men. re. Boeckmann, who won the race, is | @ new man at the racing game, this being He was known as a | bis first appearance. strong road rider, and justly so, as he ounds. He started from the limit mark, 15, and finished as strong as when he siarted. The Olympic trophy, the deciding of which is dependent upon the annual asso- ciation 25, 20 and 10-mile races, does not change hands by vesterday’'s race. The Garden City Wheelmen scored 10 points by winning first time and second place, Bay City Wheelmen 10 by first place and second time, the Golden Gate Cycling Club 3 by third place, and the California Cycling Club 1 by third time, which latter Lonor fell to C. J. Birdsall. John Davidson of the Bay Cities put up a ride that would have landed him winner of both first time and place but for an ac- cident near the finish by which he lost several seconds. He caught the limit men trom his start of 1:00 when but half way over the course, and was riding well within himse!f when another rider ran into him, and afier that it was a case of make up what he had lost, second-time | prize being his final lot. Amone the other creditable performers were M. G. Francis, P. H. Rosenheim, R. | A. Coulter, T. H. Wnite, W. J. Blac W. McGilvray and J. E. Wallace. They were all on various middie-distance marks and wili be found among the leaders at the finish, their riding times being buta trifls slower than the fastest made. Owing to the delayed officials’ special car all the work at the finish fell upon George P. Wetmore, E. E. Stoddard, F. H. Kerriean, Huvert Rses, A. P. Swain, Her- bert Deans Clark and one or two others. six feet high and weighs over 18 | GREAT BALL WAS PLAYED i Olympics Shut Out Reliance| in Record -Breaking | Time. | | | | “ Graceful” Maguire Essays the | Pitcher’s Role With Good Results, Alerts Taks the Fresno Republicans | Into Camp—There Were Other Games.

Although Reliance put up a much better game than they did in their initial con- | test, yet thev were up against foemen worthy of their steel. Both teams played the fastest kind of ball, only 1 hour and 20 minutes being oc- cupied in the actual play. The game was | played in record tiwe, and this may be attributed to ive fact thata Spaulding | league ball was used. The hard-hitting aggregation from over the bay were treated to a clean coat of whitewash.

SMITR, TIME-WINNER, & THEX] (p 7 WE WUZ RICHT [/ IN DE BUNCH AT )/ OE FINISH AN’ Y DID N’ GIT NO PRiZE | BACK TO THE OLD WAY time scoring two measly tallies. A good feature of the game was the scarcity of érrors on either side, and this | is only another instance of live ballplay- | ing, as the men were constantly on the | alert for the swiftly flying sphere. It was a day of surprises. Reliance | sprung the first by installing *‘Graceful” Maguire in the box to twirl. “Graceful's” work in that position only accentuateu his claim to that title, as ifis attitudes would have been a credit to any vrofessor of Del- sarte. Maguire besides possessing grace, bas also curves and speed. The Olympics | could only toueh nim for nine hits, but be had revenge by striking outsix of their be-t batsmen. The second surprise was Wheelin, who occupied the tquare for Olympics. The young twirier possessed an assortment of curves bucked up with tremendous speed that bafflea the Reliance team. His cool- ness was displayed in the fifth inning when Reliancs aiter having two out, filleq the bases on a base on balls and two sin- gles. The mighty Maguire was next up, but all ne could do was to gracefuily fan the air three times and their dream was o'er. | Olympics scored their first run in the initial inning when Cameron the pride of Angel Island rapped out a corker for two bases. Sheehan followed with a neat sin- gle to center and the soldier-boy reached homg on a spectacular slide. One more was added in the seventh when Wheeler was safe on a single ana was advanced to the next bag by “Doc” Van Norden’s sac- rifice and then came home on Peoples’ drive to center field. In aitempting to | -core Peoples, hard hitting Cameron sent | six of those lively balls over the foul fence | before he succumbed to a pop fly to Reilly. Throughout 1the game Manager Jack McGlynn’s countenance wore & compla- cent smile he wcught how badly the knowing ones were being fooled by the great showing of his colts. And the | D play asthey did yesterday they will surely be heard from in the future. “'Kid"” Peoples is not such an old has- been as some people think, as he dis- played his old-time dash vesterday by taking everything in sight. Oue catch of his prevenied Reliance from scoring in tbe fourth. With Lange on first Matt Stanley lined a Texas Leaguer over the Kid’s heaq, but he made a gieat leap and pulled it down with one hand and shot it over to first before Langs knew where he was. His great catch even moved the Re- liance plavers 10 applaud. Sheehan in leit field was very much sdmired for the clever way in which he gathered in the many flies that went over to his corner. *'Josh” Reilly at short played the star game tor Reliance and is a valuable zc- qu sition to the team. Little Charley had to quit e.rly in the struegle, as an old cut was rcopened by a long drive. Meclatyre’s work at first was ex- cellent. Tue following is the score of a great struggle: Oryup AB. R.

A Wretched Game, Full of Errors and Stupldity, Was Piayed. About 2500 people watched the game at Central Park between the Fresno Kepub- licans and the Bushnell - Alerts. The Fresnos, in their desire to field the ball and play the game, made errors, and the Alerts evinced their stupidity on many occasions in not trving to do any- thing, consequently they are credited with but two errors. The features in the game were Schmeer’s work at short. He made three phenome- nal stops. Chance at first for the Fresnos did great work, making the only two runs | for his side in the game. C ce’s first run was made in the first balf of the fou: He w hit by the pitcher and given first. McCarthy was the next man up and was retired at hitting to the vitcher, Chance going to second. Hayes | struck a ball into the air 1o the left of the | pricher and three of the Alerts went for it, the ball coming down between them. It was fieided to first and Hayes was re- tired. In the meantime Chance was going and Weffers seldom ran faster. The ball was*at first all this time and the Alerts were badiy ratiled. Before they were aware of 1t Chance shd over the home plate and tied the score. The batting honors were divided be- tween Hayes and Hardie. Hayes in the first haif cf the sixih caught tne ball fair on the nose. It was a deepdriver 10 the center garden. Before Hayes quit run- ning he was at the third bag. Hardie's smash was over the left-field fence in the last half of the sixth, and he was given two bases. Heanion at third for Fresno made & great catch in the last half of the fitth inning, capturing a hot one from Moskiman’s bat, pickicg it up neatly when it was about to touch the ground. Tyler, the man with chrysanthemum locks, twirled five innings for Fresno. It was in the fifth inning that the men from the raisin center went to pieces. The Alerts found Tyler for four base hits, and when the run-getting was stopped by the retirement of Bird at first they had sdded three to theirscore. In the sixth that great twirler Thomp- son was put in the box and in two in-§ nings struck out three men, including bard-hitting Hardie. There was any quantity of kicking, and at one time it looked as if the game would be given to the Aierts, McCartuy refusing to play. Everybody was out of humor, the spectators, officials on the grounds | and the Fresno players. | The Fresno piayers state that thev were robbed out of the game by Umpire Gagus. They ascert that his decisions did them a great injustice and were made purposely in the inierests of the Alerts. The following tells the story: FRESNO. AB R BIL SB. PO A E Britian, 2 b.

L e B Baseball at St. Mary’s. OAKLAND, CaL., Oct. 10.—A very in- teresling game of baseball occurred on the St. Mary’s Cotlege camnus tnis afternoon between the St. Mary’s team and the Oak- land Monarchs. The St. Mary’s team were the victors. Score, 17 to 4. Al- though the score appears rather large the gamne was exceedingly interesting and was noted for the heavy hitting of St. Mary's and the brilliant fielding of both teams. The features were the battery work of Fizgerad and Freirmuth of St. Marys; the brilliant fielding of Michaels, Si. Mary’s second baseman, who accepted many difficuit chances without an error; the heavy hitting of Lonergan of St. Mary’s, and_the fielding of Keating and Beck of the Monarchs.

The Nationals Practice on the New Eastern Silhouette Target. Several Medal and Oash Prize Con- tests by the German Sharp- shooters. The lovers of rifle and pistol shooting bad all the amusement they desired yes- terday at the Shell Mound range. Theat- tendance was, it anythine, larger than usual and during the earlier part of the day the atmospheric conditions were all that could be desired, excepting at times the wind was a little too strong, making tue shilting of the wind-gauges neces- sary. The regular monthly medal shoot of the Columbia Rifle and Pistol Club drew out a large attendance and in some of the re-entry matches the contests were rather hot. This was particularly the case in the matter of the Glindemann military medal. for there are several of the marksmen who are determined to bave this trophy if hard shooting and many entries will get it for them. Up to yesterday Ernest Jacobsen and Ed Hovey were tie on 447 points in the ten best scores. F.O. Young and F. H. Bushnell were closely following with acores of more than ordinary merit. J. E. Gorman, in the six-shot revolver match, made a great advance, bettering his score by 15 points. His total on ten scores is 263 points in sixty shots. The scores in the class=s and the best scores in the re-entry matches were as follows: Rifile, 200 yards, Columbja target, class medals for members only, one 10-shot score: Cnampion class—F. O.

Aside from the usual club matches there was one that for a time promised to be of much interest because of the fact that several bets were on the results. J. D. Heise and H. Hellberg were maiched against F. P. Schuster and E. Aigeltinger fora purse of $20 aside, filty shots to each man. For some reason not given the match was given up by the late ter couple on the fortieth shot and the former took the money.

Some time ago the Eastern papers pub- lished the remarkable scores, or what at the time was supposed to be remarkable, of the shooters at the big military contest at Sea Girt. Inthose records the possibles were made many times 2nd the marksmen here became very uneasy, for it was sup- posed that their own laurels had been blighted by contrast. A little later it was shown that the great scores were made on the new regulation silhonette targets in- stead of on the old 8x10 bullseye targets. The Nationals (Companies C and G) yes- terday tried the new silhouette target and found that it was ‘‘dead easy” to make strings of bullseyes a yard long. The tar- get represented a man lying prone on the ground with head erect, and a bullet hit- ting anywhere in the back was counted as five points. The black is as large as three or four bullseves of the old style and the marksmen had no trouble to make as good scores as those made by the crack shots of the East. The scores of the militia men on the ordinary Blunt targets were as follows: Companies C and G (Nationals)—W. Menzel 40, G.T. Phelps 39, A. H. Engiish 27. C. P. Hirst 37. M. A. Froment Jr. 32, V. K.

It s very doubtful if Faker Sharkey will meet Joe Goddard in the roped arena in this city. The unpopularity of the match has caused consternation among the fight promoters. 4 It is now stated on good authority that, while Goddard comes here ostensibly to meet Sharkey, he and Choynski will be the card and Sharkey will be relegated to quiet life at Vallejo. M. A. Gunst, itis understood, has ad- vised Zeke Abrahams to throw over Shar- key. Gunst has no love for the sailor. His enmity against Sharkey dates back to the Fitzsimmons fight, when the sailor made such a reprehensible exhibition of himself in order to win the purse on an alleged foul. Gunst and Abrahams have been friends for years and Leke always follows the ad- vice of his friend. Both Gunst and Abra- hams are stancn friends of Choynski, who is only too willing to meet Goddard for a third time. Choynski, when in Australia, met God- dard twice. Their first battle was on | February 10, 1891, Goddard winning in | four rounds. It was a furious contest, | Cnoynski chopping the Barrier cham- | pion’s face to pieces.

Bennett and his divorced wife are improving rapialy at the Receiving Hospital, and yesterday Dr. Kearney pro- nounced them out of danger. Bennett continues to regret that he did not kill both her and himself, and shows by his remarks that he is madly in love with her and insanely jealous of her. Friends of Mrs. Bennett intended re- moving her to a private hospital yester- day, but it was deferred until to-day.
