Humphreys Tried to Prevent (’Brien From Doing Crooked Work—How the Deal ‘Was Made. et ok The Call has It on the best authority that “Jack” O'Brien of Philadelphia de- liberately laid down to his dusky op- ponent on Wednesday night. Knowing that tn the event of victory he would only secure $00, O'Brien drew $2165 from the bank, it is said, and turned it over to his intimate friend “Billy” White to bet on Jackson to win. White feared to bet the large sum, as he was known around ths poolrooms, so he gave the money to “Jack” Cribin, who acted as disbursing agent. The latter went to the various | poolrooms and bet the entire sum in amounts of $1X0. A part of the money was placed in the mutuels, but the greater portion was bet on the result of the bat- tle. A large number of friends were let in on the deal and as a result reaped a golden harvest. J. C. Humphreys, the well- known horseman, who is looking out for Harry Corbett’s interests while the latter is in"the East, had an inkling before the men stepped into the ring that the fight was not “on the square.” As was stated exclusively In yesterday’s Call, Mr. Hum- phreys drove out to O'Brien’s training quarters and after informing the Philadei- phian that ugly rumors were afloat offered to present him with $200 if he would go in and win. The same evening Mr. Humphreys met O'Brien and doubled his offer. Although O'Brien faithfully prom- ised to do his utmost to defeat his col- ored opponent, Mr. Humphreys was still suspiclous. He sent for Tim McGrath, the trainer, who recently returned from the East with Frank McConnell, and cm- ployed him to go behind O'Brien and in- structed him not to tolerate any faking, McGrath followed out his instructions, but 2 o | | B e B e R R S R il “BuTT" AN [ :F'ou'\"omm D R SR S who refuses to desist when the Band of Mercy member commands him to. Nearly all the school-children of the city, from the pupils of the receiving grade up to the members of the senior class of the High School, have signed the mercy pledges and are officers of the £ 8P, C. N When the question of the Band of Mercy was agitated in the schools the girls unanimously agreed to sign the pledge. The few dissenting votes came from the boys, and the reason invariably advanced was that they could not relin- quish the pleasures of the even he,astuteas he is in his chosen busi- ness, was unable to detect simulation on the part of his man. “Tim" said yester- day that he was in the ringin the intersst of Mr. Humphreys and he was on the lookout for false dealing, but he was un- able to discover any. “T was with O'Brien many hours before the fight,” he said, “‘and I was in his cor- ner during the battle, but 1 did not think he was faking. Before he went Into the ring I told him what suspiclons had been cast on the ‘go,’ and I warned him that if I ‘saw anything ‘fishy’ I would not stand for it, but would ~ call the referee's attention to it immediately. He assured me that he was there to win and would do his best to gain a victory. I belleved him, and throughout the fight I watched him carefully. It 18 my opinion he fought to win and was legitimately defeated.” George Kavanaugh, a particular friend of O'Brien, informed different people yesterday that he played the right line and won $400. One of the pool sellers at Corbett's, seeing where all the ‘‘wise” money was going, drew $150 out of the bank and played it on the colored man and is to-day several hundred dollars richer. O'Brien is elther one of the best actors in the ring to-day or is a much-abused man. Hundreds of spectators at the fight voiced their opinion that he -laid down.” When he fell groaning to the padding in the thirteenth round he was jeered b the spectators. In contests gone by it has been the custom of the crowd to cheer loudly for the defeated man in apprecia- tion of his pluck and endurance, but | when O'Brien staggered out of the ring a defeated man the groans of the spec- | tators drowned his own, and not a sym- | Al Smit athetic hand was outstretched to him. he local sporting men say they cannot 8ee why O'Brien should walk into danger after making his antagonist look like ‘the merest tyro. The developments of the last twenty-four hours have blighted O'Brien’s Jrospects in this city, and it is robable that he will return to his home n Philadelphia a wiser and a richer man. POOLROOM ORDINANCE DISCUSSED IN COMMITTEE DETERMINED EFFORT TO PER- MIT INGLESIDE RACING. Supervisors Are Opposed to Down- town Betting, but Are Favorably Inclined to Horse Racing. The Supervisors' Police Committee yes- terday took up the consideration of the proposed ordinance “prohibiting pool sell- ing, bookmaking or betting on contests, and prohibiting all persons from vi: places where pools are sold or bets or wagers are made upon upon any contingent issue.” The penalty provided for any violation of the ordi- nance is a fine of $250, or imprisonment for ninety days, or both. The newly appointed Chief of Police, ‘Willlam P. Sullivan, and Captain Witt- man were present, and expressed their views regarding the contemplated meas- ure. Captaln Wittman informed the board that under the present order it is only possible to arrest the sellers of pools. It was not a misdemeanor to be present, y contest or ! and he advocated the passage | of the order In order to correct existing | abuses. Attorney J. 8. Drum argued against the order as belng too sweeping In character, He asked that the selling of pools on boxing or other contests be allowed within certain restrictions. minors be prevented from visiting the poolrooms: that a licerise be imposed, and that the betting be limited to two days before a contest. F. 8. Greene, secretary of the Pacific Coast Jo(rkei’ Club, also objected to the ordinance. In his remarks it developed that a strong effort will be made to have the ordinance prohibiting racing at Ingle- side repealed. t asked that the new ordinance be so framed that betting be ermitted within the inclosure where rac- ng was going on. He stated that the roperty at Ingleside which had cost over 600,000 was practically valueless owing to adverse legislation. He believed that the order should permit betting for at least sixty days, and his concern would be willing to pay a license for the privilege. To a question of Captain Wittman's as to whether he did not think that all the antipathy to horse racing came from the downtown poolrooms, Greene replied that he could not answer, although later he admltted that the poolrooms were detri- mental to the interests which he repre- sented. Captain Wittman, in reply to Chalr- man Tobin, stated that the Police De- partment had no statistics showing that arrests for embezzlements and other crimes were directly traceable to betting on horse racing, but he believed that the downtown poolrooms should be eliminated and stringent measures adopted. Supervisor Tobin expressed himself in favor of allowing horse racing for a lim- ited perfod, as the sport tended to en- courage many industries, ing, breeding, etc. He thought there was a distinction between horse racing and prize fighting, inasmuch as the latter sport had greatly deteriorated. Helms was in favor of allowing betting within the inclosures where the sport was held, and also the licensing of poolrooms. Reed took a middle course and advocated post- poning the consideration one week, in or- der t ohear from several sporting au- thorities regarding the advisability of passing any drastic measures. —_———— FIGHT AT CONEY ISLAND. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—The date of the fight between James J. Jeffries and James J. Corbett has been fixed as May I4. George F. Considine and Willlam A.

A great victory was won yesterday by the residents of the Mission when the Supervisors’ Street Committee practically decided to recommend the passage of an ordinance to compel the Southern Pa- cific Company to remove its tracks in the Mission district. It was the unanimous opinfon of the members that the tracks were a nuisance that should be abated and that the Board of Supervisors has the power to order the removal of the tracks, notwithstanding the contention of the Kentucky corporation that the whole matter was one of State jurisdiction.

Action on the ordinance itself was, however, postponed until the next | meeting in order that a legal doubt can be settied ding the selection of an | official newspaper. Supervisor Maguire | stated that he had received an informal | opinfon from - City Attorney Lane | to the effect that the clause in-| viting proposals providing for the | requirement of the Allied Printing | Trades Council label was unconstitu- | tlonal. In order therefore that the cor- | poration should not interpose any legal | technicalities against the board carrying | out the provision of the ordinance, Su- | pervisor Booth expressed his int tlon of introducing the following r lution at the next meeting of the board, so that there would be no danger of the measure miscarrying: Whereas, In the proposal notice inviting bids for doirg officlal advertising it has been recited, ‘‘bidders are hereby notified that in_accordance with the practice here- tofore followed by the Board of Super- visors bids will only be considered when tendered by bidders who offer to perform said public printing in newspapers which had the right to use the Allled Printing Trades Council Label at the time of first publication of this tice,” and Whereas, This e conflicts with exist- ing laws: therefore, Resolved, That the clerk'be and is hereby directed to readvertise for proposals invit- ing bids for doing official advertising, elim- inating therefrom the aforesald objection- able clause; sealed bid to be presented in open session of the board on Monday, March 5, 1900 The protest of the Real Estate Develop- | ment Company against the granting of a | franchise to the Bay and Coast Rallroad Company to use certain streets for trance into the city for a coa favorably considered, and the franchise was denled. It was the sense of the com- | mittee that the company was unable to | show that it had at least fifty road already constructed to thi line, and as the charter expressly tains such a requirement the committce decided that it had no power to grant th franchise. | The committee also decided in favor of the protest of the street cleaning employes against the contemplated cut in the 2p- propriation for street cleaning work and against the cut in the wages of the street | sweepers. The committee recommended that Gray Brothers' quarry, located near Clipper and Douglass streets, be declared a nnis- ance and that the firm be required to | abate it within ninety days, or the permit fcl;bdln.silng and rock crushing will be rs- voked.
