Time, MICHAEL BEATS LINTCN IN THE MATCH RACE NEW YORK, July 23.—Jimmy Mi- chael met Tom Linton of Wales at the Manhattan Beach cycle track to-day in a twenty-five mile paced race, and beat his opponent, in the presence of more than 15,000 spectators. His de- feat on last Saturday through the bursting of a tire was not looked upon as a defeat by any means: by the midget’s friends, and to-day thousands of dollars were bet and won on the “rare-bit.” Michael was the favorite in the betting, odds of 100 to 80 being freely laid on his chances. There was plenty of Linton money, however, and in the history of cycling there has never been such a large amount wa- gered on a contest. There was very little wind and every- thing favored an excellent race. How- ever, no records were even equaled, as both riders indulged in a good deal of Jockeying In the early part of the race. Some of the individual miles were cov- ered in éxcellent time, the ninth mile being run in 1:384-5. In the last lap Linton’s men swung out and flew past Michael, amid deafening cheers and | K0 New York. | Brooklyn ast | pla; | P | CORBE | John Kelly has decided not to act a frenzied cries.

This set-back evidently took the heart out of Linton. and Michael fin- ally crossed the tape a winner by about 17¢ yards. The half-mile League of American Wheelmen national champlonship for professionals was won by O. L. Stevens of Ottumwa, Towa. He beat Arthur Gardiner by half a wheel In the final heat. Fddie Bald was six inches be- hind Gardiner, and Tom Cooper, who finished fourth, was only a few inches back of the Buffalo rider. The two-mile professional handicap was captured by Gardiner, who beat Major Taylor by a length and a half world's record for the distance, under handicap condi- tions, as he covered the two miles in 4:1R 4-5.

CANADIANS WIN THE FINAL CRICKET MATCH OMAHA, July 23.—The Northwestern Cricket Association’s tournament came to a close with a one-inning match be- tween the United States and Canada, | won by 136 to lll.i which the latter Bannaty's bowling for the victors was the feature, he capturing seven wickets for 42 runs, bowling 38 overs and having 18 maidens. All the Cana- dians batted well, but only Davis and Beddow, both Chicago men, were able to do anything for the losers. Davis put together 41 in ripping style, and was caught out on a long drive to long stop. Beddow batted very carefully for 28, and was caught out by Palle at shortstop, in a most sensational one- handed grab of a blazing hot drive. The fielding or the losing side was a trifle weal, but the visitors did not let a chance escape and alloved only one bye.

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.—The sec- ond and last day of the annual regatta | | of the National Association of Amateur | finest series of races ever seen at a na- | tional regatta. In three events only a few feet separated the first and second crews. The most sensational race of the day was the eight-oared shell, champion eight captured from the 7| Argonauts of Toronto by a few feet af- | ter a grand struggle. | The weather was perfect. 30,000 and 40,000 persons along the river to watch the races. Two of the championships were captured by Philadelphia crews. Ten Eyck won the senfor single championship, while the Western Boating Club of St. Louis car- | ried off the honors of the intermediate four-oared shell race. The Argonauts captured the senlor international four- oared shell event, and Amos Kubik of Springfield, Mass., won the inter- mediate single scull race. In the inter- mediate four-oared shell race the Za- wanaka crew of New York w. out for not correctly turning the three- quarter flag. . There were three starters in the intermediate four-oared race. St. | Louis led at the start, with Zawanaka second and the Argonauts third. The difference between tle first and last crews at the half-mile flag was only a length and a half. The Western men rowed a much better race than they did yesterday. At the turn they were two strokes in front of the Zaw ! who failed to turn their stake properly. | The Argonauts were two lengths be- hind. The race from the mile flag to the finish was a grand one. The New | Yorkers caught the St. Louis men shortly after the turn and held them to the finish. The result was in doubt | until the judges announced that the | Westerners had won by one second. The Zawanakas were ruled out, how- ver, for their error at the turning stake, and second place was given to the Argonauts. The eight-oared shell race was the most sengational that was ever rowed | on the national course. The crews that | faced the starter were the Worcester High School of Worcester, Mass., Falr- | mounts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Barge Club of Philadelphia and Ar- gonauts of Toronto. Not one of these eights had ever been defeated. From the three-quarter flag to the finishing point it was a magnificent struggle be- | tween the Philadelphian champions |and the Argonauts. By a grand spurt | Pennsylvania managed to cross the | line firet, five feet in front of the Cana- dians. The time, 7:4013, is the best ever made over this course under sim- ilar conditions.

Coroner Baldwin Will Find Out How Much Truth There Is in a Bitter Family Quarrel. 23.—The body of the Henry Hoover was recelved from Livermore by the Coroner The child was born three died a month ago. Two weeks after its death the young mother, who s a wayward girl of 16, marriad young Hoov her father, John rnett of Pleasanton. Barnett made public a statement about his daughter and she retaliated yester- day that he had given it some medicine a couple of hours before death, and she now says she belleves it was potson. The child was buried on the side of the hill by Miss Barnett's father. There has been trouble between the father and daughter for some time, ind a year ago he says he attempted to correct her and advise her, but she told him to mind his own business. “After 1 knew that she was ito give birth to a child,” gays Barnett, “I tri>d to make her tell who the father was, but she only gave me the same answer. [ | told her if she did not inform me within haif an hour that I would drive her fiom | the place. S terward blamed i certain party and we had him arre but he was innocent, and she afterwar L she did not know who it was. “Three times, I believe, she tried to poison me with strychnine fouad :n Let- tles that had been thrown out in th ad by a nelghbor. I tasted it ‘n mv “ea, which wag as bitter as gall, and 1 thiew it out and tasted the children's tea, and it was all right. She denifed it to me, but she afterwara told one of my boys that she had put something in my cougn medicine, but guessed it could not have been strong enough.” Mrs. Hoover has signed the following statement: My baby dled June 27. It was sick but a few ours. It was a healthy baby and had never {led much. Just before it was taken sick my father gave it something like medicine. It began frothing at mouth. 1 wanted to go for the doctor, bu r would not Jet me. When the baby died he seemed pleased. He would not let me go near it or touch it. He dug a hole in the ground near the hills and burled the beby in it like a dog. On one other occasion when the baby was a little fretful he threatened to take it by the legs and dash its brains out against a frult tree in front of the house. The nelghbors declare that Barnett is somewhat eccentric and his daughter wayward, and do not place much cre- dence in the stories, which are a part of a bitter family squabble. _— o TO REMOVE POWDLR WORKS. Residents of Melrose, Fruitvale and Lockwood Take Action. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | %8 Broadway, July 23. The residents of Fruitvale, Melrase | and Lockwocd held a meeting to- night, at which they expressed them- selves very forcibly regarding the pro- posed rebuilding of the fuse works In their midst and the maintenance of a powder magazine there. The general sen- timent against the management for what they termed “the deliberate act of one of its employes” in permitting a magazine to be left open was severe, and the Board of Supervisors are to be appealed to to stop a repetition of such a scene. After preambles the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved by the residents of Fruitvale, Mel rose and Lockwood, In mass-meeting asse bled, that the powder and fuse factory of said Western Fuse and Explosive Company, pro- posed to be erected at High street, Melrose, to replace the bulldings destroved wiil be danger- ous to the public safety, detrimental to every property interest, by rendering the neighbor- hood undeslrable as a place of residence and reducing the value of its taxable property; that We protest earnestly against the re-erectfon of said powder works. It is further resolved, That the Board of Su- pervisors of Alameda County will take every possible legal means to have said factorles re- moved, and that it will make and enforce such rules and regulations governing the location and operation of all powder, fuse and explo- sive works within the limits of this township and county as will be for the best interests of the residents thereof, and that such action be speedy and Immediate as necessary to abate and end the present danger. B0 MARWEDEL, - President. W. W. JUDSON, Secretary. A petition embracing the features of the above was drawn up and signed by all present and will be at the real estate of- fice of P. H. Blake on East Fourteenth street, between Fruitvale and Bray ave- nues, all day Sunday, where all interested may call and sign it. This refers the board to section 268 of the Penal Code, which gives them power to enact laws for public safety and governing powder works and asks them so to act. It will be presented to the board Monday morn- ing. ———————— THE SCHAEFERS AT HOME. Reunited After a Month’s Troubles. Their Children Well Cared For.
