6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1897 25, “DENVER” SMITH AFTER JACKSON The Former Coloradoan Would Like to Meet the Great Peter. Willing to Face the Winner of the Goddard-Sharkey Fiasco. Something About O'Rourke and When Walcott Had Muscular Cramps. Yesterday many took advantage of the beautiful weather to visit Waicott and Lavizne at their training quarters, The lads are in the vink of condition and are anxiously waiting for Friday night to come. Youne Mitchell, presiaent of the Occi- dental Club, crossed the bay and spent the day with O'Rourke. Further plans for the big battle were perfected. The greatest care is being taken by the man- agement to in e the spectators from an- unoyance in securing their seats. The ushers will be in uniform and in sufficient force to handle tne biz crowd. The demand for seats is something un- precedented in local ring history. Many orders have been booked from Nevada and several from Oregon and Arizona. Nearly every city in the State has applied for tickets. O’Rourke is somewhat apprebensive. He is afraid that on the night of the bat- tle Walcott may be sflicied with muscu- lar cramps. O'Rourke, while not wishing in the least to detract from Lavigne's great victory when he met Walcott at Mespeth, L. 1., attributes Walcott's defeat 10 muscular cramps. If this be true it is the first time in Wal+ cott’s numerous battles that he has met a man capable of giving him muscular cramps. Tuhose who witnessed the battle v that the “‘Baginaw Kid’’ fought the doughty warrior from Barbadoes to a nd, and that in another round he would finished him. the fight Friday night Walcott will have several pounds the better of it. La v gne will probably weigh 134 pounds at 6 o’ciock. when the men are to w igh in. Walcott will oo but little below 136. From the time ti.e men weigh in until they en- ter the ring Walcott will take on at'least five pounds. Will this rapidly acquired weight be a benefit to him? O’Rourke thinks that it will, for several days were uibbiing over weirhts before the teh was made. Lavigne nted to g0 inat 136 at the ringside. O'Rourke wouldn’t eniertain this proposition and the matter was compromised ai 136 at 6 ’clock. There are those, however, who contend that the rapidly acqnired weight will Jeave Walcott in'the first tew -ouads of the fignt, and if he is not successful in sioppine the “Kid” early 1n the fight, this weight, in-iead of being beneficial, will be a detriment. It the pugil.sts put up an exhibition similar to the one fought at Mespeth, it wiil be the most stuobornly and wickedly fought battle ever witnessed in the ropea arena in this city. Both men are s way< on the acgres: gers. Thev are al- eand hammer one It is . and in the coming battle ion of endurance should be con- another about the ring viciously. give and tuke in their former bout Walcott had the better of the contest for the first ten rounds, and then Lavigne became the ag- gr s or and Walco t was badly aistressed when time was calied in tne fifteenth round and the battle given to Lavigne. The great showing which Walcott made with Green will make the colored lad the favorite in the betting. Itis thought that the betting before the night of the battie will be 10 t perhaps 10 1o 6. 210 1 shot, however. id Smith, who is manager of the Colonist Hotel at Victoria, B. C., writes to Bogie O'Donnell askine him to match him with Peter Jackson, the fight 10 take place 1n this city. Ii Smith is un- able toget a g0 with Peter he stands ready to meet the winner of the Goddara- Sharkey fiasco. Smith is reported as taking great care of himself, and is said to have - largely re- ganed his old-time vigor. The war between the National and Knickerbrcker clubs is hourly growing more acute. Zeke Abrahams, like Mac. beth, defies Fight-promoter Gibbs snd Fight-promoter Groom. He says that he will pull off the Goddard-Sharkey affair before the Ziegier-Green contest at tne National. (Groom and Gibbs say that he won’t do anything of the kind and the war is on. Both factions claim to have a pull at the City Hall and several left- vanded hooks, uppercuts and nose-enders will be delivered before a decision 1s ren- dered.

Crack English Dogs Metallic and False Flatterer Were Slow, Oronin & MNoDonald’s Fleet-Footed California Dog Oarried Off the Purse. The coursing at Ineleside park yester- day was visited by the largest crowd of the season. The best hounds of the year were started, and the sport was satisfac- tory to all. The talent was in a peculiar position, as the dogs which seemed to be in form and out to win came in devoid of laurels and were shut out in the first go. The two crack English dogs, Metallic and False Flatterer, proved to be disap- pointments, althouzh both are exceeding- ly fast. Yesterday was the first time that Metallic started, and as he was not accli- mated and went against the fleet-footed | Captain Morse, he should not gain the | | | neglect of the betting fraternity, as better thines may be expected of him. During the day it seemed as though the shortenders would again walk off with the purses, but reversals came and the day was evened up. [t is hard to tell which was the best dog that started during the rundown, as some seemed to be entirely out of form. Tipperary Lass was espe- c1aily so and should not be allowed to go again for weeks to come, Up to the fourth tie it looked as though False Flatterer woula carry off the money, but the weli-brea Skyball once more showed his mettle and won the purse. Hanlon & Ezan, the new proprietors of the Sacramento coursing park were on a visit to H. Brennan, and during the day visited the park and receieved a few well timed pointers on the sport. The runs | seemed to be unusually fast, as the bares | 1 | | [ a Yellow Dog,” Father’s Admonition. When Charles F. Curry was asked why he didn’t take legal staps to slop the unwarranted assaults that are being made on him by the Exam- ner, Mr. Curry replied that he knew of no becter answer than to tell a story that was often repeated to him by his father. “My father was a cittle-drover in one of the Western Btates in early " said Mr. Curry, “and h s business compelled him to ride horse- Now it is known to all horsemen that a man becomes much attached to a saddle animal, and my father was no exception to the rule, 50 he did what almost any rider woald do, that is, when he came to a steep or slippery hill he would get down and walk up, =0 that it would ease his nag over the summitand keep him fresh for faster travel when In those days every country farm had about a dozen manzy yellow curs in the front yard, and it was their custom to run out and bark and snarl at all gentlemen who chanced to pass their Thev annoyed my father in th righteous indignation as much as po: try another plan, so waitiag until a particularly venturesome cur ran at him a. be was climbing a difficult grade he kicked backward with out looking around, ana succeeded in catching the dirty dog under the jowls, ocking him down and sending him home howling with pain.

The principal taik amone dog followers is the improvement in the does of the last two years. During this season puppies have started against the old-time dogs and won, seemingly hands down. The final course of the day between Conne- mara and Skyball was as even a thing as could be wished for by the visitors as both dogs are known 10 be on the top list of good goers and hard workers. The sport is regularly gaining in vublic and sporting favor, as could be seen by the large crowd present yesterday. The pool- boxes were unable to handle the money, and many bets were mad= on the sutside durinz the day. Cronin & McDonald, the owners of the winner, kave good dogs in good form, and many stakes will be car- ried off by them during the season if pub- lic opinion is 1o be relied upon.

Hawkes, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of a society called the Citizens' Charter Association, has called a mass-meeting at Pythian Castle, 909 Mar- ket street, to convene at 8 o’clock to-night. The call states that those indorsing the movement are opposed to centralization. Among otner things the following charges are made: X “This orgenization recognizes the im- perative necessity of a new char- ter and such a charter as_will prop- erty regulate municipal affairs with- out placing shackles on the people. It proposes to nominate or indorse only such candidates as are pledged to represent all interesis—as well those of the middle and humbler cl isses as of the corporations and millionaire-. 2 “One sufficient reason for this move- ment 1s the fact that the Committee of One Hundred appointed by Mayor Phelan proposes to keep until too late for other nominations for freehoiders than those to be placed in the tield by that committee, 1ts work in the hands of an advi-ory com- mitter, holding autocratic and centraliz- ing views of municipal government. That committee is vested with full power to re- vise and change the work submitted to it to meet i's own views. Of course, the nominees of the Commitiee of One Hun- ared will represent the dominating idea of one-man ruie which permeates that body.

Company K Wins the Pretty Foster Prize for the Last Time. Members of M Have the Choice of Two Other Desirable Gifts From Friends. In the big military shoot at the Shell Mound Park yesterday Company K won the Foster tropby and Company I took the choice of the Wieland-Mangels ana the Obermeyer trophies. For the past three months Companies K, I and M have been in active practice for the contest for these prizes, the last of the iot that were put up for competition before the consoliiation of the S:ate mi- litia. The Foster trophy was offered for the best team of twelve men who shoul win the same three times in annual com- petition. Company K was successful twice, and this vear the final was to be de- cided, hence the interest in making the best record on this occasion. With the other two trophies the condition: were different, as the donors wanted their prizes 1o be contested for annually. However, the recent consolidation of the companies mad~ it necessary for some other disposi- tion of the same, and it was decided to make the contest final. With the latter trophies it was: necessary for teams of thirty to compete, each man to be allowed the regulation ten shots. The shooting started out lively yester- day morning and was kept up until as late as the men could see either the sights or the tarcets. Company I was badly handicapped in the match for the Foster tropby by the absence of severasl of the best shots. With Company M it was an uphill maich trom the start. However, it will receive the trophy that Company I does not select, for assiated the Iatter com- pany hasthe choice of the Wieland-Man- gels or the Obermeyer trophies. The scores were as follows: Company K (Foster trophy)—Captain T. J. Cunningham 44, Sergeant E. F. Bolteron 41, Corporal J. L. Ulschix 45, G. M. Bailey 40, P F. Brunotte 35, P. Kur'z 42, C. J. A.

As seen, K's men were the victors by twelve points for the choice of the two tropbies. It is likely that there will be a jollification in the armories of the win- ning companies over their success in the near fuiure, A few of the members of Company A of the Fifth were on the range, and naturally they had a match for a dinner. Captain Poulter and Sergeant McCormick were pitied against Corporal Magiil and Private Beli. Captain Pouiter made 42, and Ser- geant McCormick, 44—82; Corporal Magill made 44, and Bell . the former win- ning by six points. There was some excellent shooting done by the members of the San Franc sco Schuetzen Club, which held its recular monthly bullseve contest for cash prizes. The scores shown by the measuring ma- chine and the winners were as tollows: 1, E. H. Goetz, 15 H. Stelling, 174; 3, L. 211;4.J. 17; 5, H Wick- . Jungb! o ;7. A.F. Mever, Utschi-, 334; 9, 0.

Maguire 38, | The San Francisco Athletics Succumb to the Boston Aggregation, Basehits, Runs and Errors Piled Up in a Most Bewildering Manner. Fully One Thousand People Witness the Performance at Sixteenth and Folsom Streets. At 7 o’clock last night the official scorer of the ball game between the Boston Bloomer Girls and the San Francicco Athletic Ciub team issued a bulletin stating that the girls had won by a score of 14 to 13; the hits, errors (principally errors) and other incidentals of the game have not been ficured up yet. The young women came from Boston all right; no other city on the coniinent could turn out such an aggregation. They laid aside their spectacles for the occasion, however, with results most dis- astrous to the game, for the majority of the members were unable to get their eyes on the ball when it was in the air, and when it was rolling along the ground they forgot that they did not have their aprons on and tried to stop it in ordinary woman fashion, with the result that the sphere would dodge through their bloom- ers in a most disiressing manner. The visiting delegation was bandicapped (possibiy) by having two of the best p.ay- ers disabled. Nellie Bly, the recular catcher, is suffering from charlev-horse, tonsiliitis, or some other ailment, and gave up her position to Male Wiiliams, while she started in to umpire, ut her own side chased her off the diamond dur- ing the fourth inniny, and one of the girls deciared she couldn’t even umpir: What could he do benind the bai? Wil Liams is an ola league player and coacher for the bicomer girls, and he gave every indication that he is thoroughly con- versant with the game. He hits the ball hard ana often, runs ihe bases fast and aaringly, and otherwise conaucts himself like a ball-player. Gustie Habsck was tte other absentee. Gustie hovers over third base when she dons bloomers, but she candidly admits that her strong point is on the gate, so in aniicipation of a large crowd she played ber favorite position, and ieft the third corner in charge of Rose Blake. Now Rose may play ball all right enough—in Boston—but she bad an off day yesteraay, and it is doubtful if she could have caught a cold. But with Maud Nelson it was different. Maudie is the pitcher ana she knows her business. Sbe shot them over the vlate, fielded well, stopped hot liners, covered all parts of tne field, smashed tbe ball hard and often, stcle base and tore her bloomers in sliding feet first iike a real ball player. All the others had the utmost confi- dence in Maud and whenever one of them got the bull they fnvariably threw it to her, no matter if they could have retired an opponent with much less exertion, for they knew she would understand what to ao nexi. Then little Annie Jennings, down at second, had a rudimentary knowleage of the game. BSeveral times Williams drove the ball down to her from the rlate in or- dur to cut off a base steal and she always beli! on to the sphere and would tag the runner with a vigor that threatened to deunt his ribs. Space—and charity—precludes a de- tailed descrintion of the gume, but the girls started in at bat and smashed the i ball for four hits and two runs. From that time until the close troubles followed in such rapid succession that nobody but anexpert could keep track of them, and as soon as he gets them compiled in tabu- lar form the score will be published. The young women go to Benicia for a game to-morrow, and will visitall the towns in the central portion of the State. It is probable that they will re:urn here for a week-day game with either the Bo- hemian or University Club teams if a date can be arranged for next week. HANDBALL GAMES, T. F. Bonnet and Al Hampton Defeat J. C. Neulon and M, J. Kil- gallon. The San Francisco handball court was crowded yesterday, several exciting games being plaved. The chief atiraction was a game in which T. F. Bounet and Al Hampton played against J. C. Nealon and M. J. Kilgallon. It was a hot game, and beicre 1ts conclusion the scorer was almost in tears. The final was won by Bonnet and Hampton by three aces. Another interesting game was the one between the four heavy-weights, Phil Ryan and Dan Rodgers against M. Mec- Neil and George McDonaid. The two former won the final aiter a spirited con- test by four uces. At the Occidental court among the principal games was one in which J. O’Donnell and J. Condon_played against J. Pendergast and P.

Reliance Gains a Victory Over Stockton in a Close Contest. The Game Full of Brilliant Plays and Numerous Surprises Santa Oruz Defeats the Oalifornia Markets—MoGrath's Great Catch. Other Games. Although the Stocktons were defeated yesterday they have the consolation of knowinz that their opponents had no easy time in !anding the victory. Reliance, instead of being on top, very narrowly escaped being shut out. Up to the last inning it was anybody’s game, so evenly dia the teams play. The 5000 spectators that attended the game were treated toa great exhibition. The error column shows that both teams were guilty of many errors, but they sink into insignificance when it is taken into consideration that they played with a ball that traveled with the speed of a cannon- bail when struck by the bat in the bands of a sturdy player. Tais occurred often, but the really fine fielding of both teams prevented a further increase in that col- umn. Little “Cootsy” Billings was the first man to reach first for Stockton, and this was due to “Josh” Riley’s high throw to Maguire, and on which the diminutive snortstop reached third. Selna made his bow, and, after biding his time, was pre- sented with a base on balls. Stanley hav- ing observed that Billings’ attention was taken up with a pretly maiden in the wrand stand and was playing off third, shot the ball over to that coruer, and he was put out, much to his discomforture. Reliance gave an inkl.ng of the game they intended to play when they took their chance in the initial inning. Van Haltren, he of Eastern fame and the idol of the old timer<, loomed up at the plate, his graceful form being set off by the neat uniform of the New Yorks. He was given an ovation as he stood at the plate and responded by sending a swiit grounder between the first and sec- ond bags. The Giants’ representative gave asample of his Eastern training by his quick getaway and the great speed in which he went to the initial bag. He reached there before the bailand took second on a wild pitch. Riley singled over short and Van went to thirl. Riley stole second, and both men scored on Lange’s two-bacger to deep center. He went to third on & passed ball and scored soon after on Sianley’s sacritice. The inning ended by Smith making a briiliant running catch of Stuiz' fly, which par- tially redeemed his many errors. Stockton rolled up three tallies in sue- ceeding innings, and the score stood 3 to 3 up to thesixth, when Reliance added two more runs. From the latter inning neither team scored Harper displayed his usual coolness and speed, and there is not a doubt that he has nct an a\}unl in the State. Van Haltren’s work in the box was fairly good for a plaver who has not occu- pied that position for the length of time he has. His curves proved puzzling, and he fielded his position well. Stanley backed him up in good style, and bus fine throwing prevented many base steals. Borland and Seina both distinguished themseives by running catches. The former’s work in left fiell was brilliant. In one inning he muade a thirty-yard sprint and got under an impossible fly that spoiled Stockton’s chances of tieing the score. Again in the eighth he retirea the side by getting under three im- vossible flys. Selna’s work at first was also of nigh order. The annexed score tells the story of a lively game: RELIANCE. to the last AB. R BE SB PO.

With a dinner at Delmonico’s as an in- ducement to win, the Beachcombers played yesterday as they never did before, and after nine hard fought innings suc- ceeded in winning from the California Markets by a score of 5 to 4. Baiz seemed to see a sumptuous tahle set on the home plate, for he pitched in old-time form. Strike outs came his way to the extent of seven, but poleon’ Fagin’s troopers balanced things by shaking him up for ten hits. To McGrath the visitors owe their salva- tion, and he is surely entitled to a second belping at the coming babquetr. It was he who retired the Markets by an im- possible catch at a stage of the game when :here were two men out ana tvo on bases, and when his team was but one ahead. While shivering in his corner of the lot, vainly hoping that the lead en ball might possibly come his way, be was sur- prised to see the dead sphere moving heavenward and in his direction. Calcu- lating that it was going over his head. he ran backward and got under it when every one thought it was a two-bagger. Fiiz- gerald, at first, also deserves mention for the clever way in which he played his po- sition. The appended score teils what bas been omitted: CAI. MARKETS. AB. R BH. 8B. PO A E.
