Preliminaries a Farce. About 8000 people saw the bout, but if | they had not been extra good-natured | they would have left the clubhouse before the fight was put on. The club manag ment was in bad odor for forty-five min- utes, during which 6000 penned-up sports sweltered and fumed in the hot clubhouse, where there was little or no ventilation. The preliminary bout fell through and an- | ed | a delay of at least an hour and a half | When the boys began fighting it was seen that they knew nothing of the game, and their work in the ring was so ridiculous that the on-lookers took it as a huge joke, | instead of resenting it as a gold brick which was offered them Then there was another delay of nearly | an hour before the big fellows made their | appearance.

Seattle Oarsman Submits an Afildavit in Which He Details the Scheme of Four Men to’ Fool Bettors. P AT, Soectal Disvatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C.,, Aug. 24—The championship rowing race between R. N. Johnston of Vancouver and John L. Hackett of Seattle was to-day declared by Referee J. A. Russell to be a fake. The race was rowed last Saturday for $1000 a side and in Vancouver nearly $29, 000 changed hands over the event. Hack- ett, the favorite at 1M to 50 two days before the race, lost. He allowed Johns- ton to win, according to his own confes- slon here to-day, In pursuance of an agreement made between Johnston, Quann_brothers of Vancouver and him- self. The Quanns are well known betting and saloon men and furnished the money for the carrying out o: the scheme. Sworn evidence was taken this afternoon at a long session of the race ofiicials, Referee Hussoll presiding. Hackett made a sensational affidavit, an outline of which is given below, every de- tall of which was denied by the Quanns, who alleged that it was a game to rope them in tor the monetary part of the lia- bility. Johnston has apparently left the city. He was not at the investigation and has not been seen since the night of the race. The referee decided to declare it a fake race, but reserved his decision as to the payment of bets. Hackett offered two days ago to pro- duce the letters sent by Johnston to him arranging the fake. e went to Seattie for them and while he was en route a telegram was sent from here to his wife to destroy all letters relating to the race. The telegram was signed “John” and the wife destroyed the letters. The telegram was bogus and the seader will, if discov- ered, be prosecuted. Hackett’s affidavit sets forth that In March last he wrote to Johnston asking him if he would row him for a purse. Johnston's reply was a suggestion that Hackett come to Vancouver and row a ¢ for an alleged stake and allow Johns- 0 to defeat him. eral letters were written bi; Johnston subsequently ce- garding the same proposed fake race, Johnston stating that a saloonkeeper, W. H. Quann, would provide the stake money and that all the money won by Quann in betting on Johnston to win would be di- vided equally between Quann, Johnston and Hackett. Hackett agreed to Johns- ton's proposition and on arriving in Van- couver was given 320 by Quann to bet on himself in public places as a blind. Quann also sent to him $1000 by his brother and J. McLean, a bartender, to hand back to Quann publicly as Hackett's stake money. After the race $210 was hagded to Hack- ett as his share of the money won by Quann’s bets on Johnston. J. McLean fig- ured in the transaction as a go-between, meeting Hackett in Seattle and arrang- ing the details of the scheme with Hack- ett in March last. OARSMAN PAPE WINS THE MEDAL AT ASTORIA San Franciscan Captures the Pacific Coast Championship Single Shell Race. Spectal Dispatch to- The Call. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 24.—The handsome medal offered by the regatta committee for the Pacific Coast championship single shell race will to-morrow adorn the breast cf Alexander Pape, the husky San Fran- cisco oarsman. He is well entitled to the trophy, for the champlonship race was the hardest he ever participated in. The resuit was in doubt until twe last mo- ment, but Pape's wonderful endurance finally told and he finished first. His ltz'xll"imiduble competitor was Gloss of Port- and. The championship was the main event of the day. There were four entries—Pape and Sternbesg of San Francisco and Gloss and Patton of Portland. ‘The men got an excellent start, Gloss and Pape having the inside of the course, They started out side by side and their boats fairly flew over the water. Stern- berg and Patton had the outside of the course and were together most of the way. Pape and Gloss rounded the buoy about the same time and came into the stretch neck and neck. Pape puiled a strong stroke, but with surprising tenacity Gloss clung to_the shell of the sturdy Califor- nian. Gradually Pape’'s shell forged ahead. The Californian’s strength was telling against the Portlander, who fal- tered toward the end. Pape finished half a length ahead. Time, 11:39. Pape warmly congratulated the Portland lad and ad- mitted that he had had the warmest race of his life. Then came the first heat of the out- rigger skiff race, the contestants being George Lewis of the Alameds of San Francisco and Cragn Olympics. Lewis had matters and finished well in the Boat Club of - owWn wa he second heat followed, the entries | being C. A and Baker c the Olymplcs. handily, Ba ker’'s skiff capsizing. The third heat was won by Hammer- smith, who defeated Ayers. The final heat will take place in the morning . The afternoon was devoted to the sail- ing events and the river was covered with boats.

LDIERS AND OLICE MIX I8 BATTLE ROYAL Victory Perches on “Cops’” Banner After the Relief Column Arrives. Thirty Prisoners Captured Out of Two Hundred Engaged by Doughty Sergeant Donovan and Twenty Officers. PR Two hundred riotous soldiers and squad of police engaged in a battle royal at Bush and Dupont streets last night, a victory resulting for the wearers of the stars and imprisonment for thirty cf the soldiers. A private named George was the leader of the military forces, and h_e may flud himself charged with some- thing more serious than “drunk.” All last evening soldiers of the Thir- teenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Twenty-first regiments “did the line.” They had been pald off and money was no object. The fun grew so fast and furious that Policemen Heinf and Geiman went up to suppress it. When they arrested Smith as ringleader the entire mob charged, and one of the keepers of the peace drew his pistol and fired it in the air before the crowd would give way. A call was turned in Yor istance and Sergeant Donovan with a 1 of twenty policemen left the California-street police station for the battle-ground. Here they were joined by the Chinatewn patrol and thirty_ arrests were made. “Counting noses,” it was found that no injuries ha. been sustained by the “cops,” which was a matter for congratulation, as the battle at one time assumed the appearance of a lively skirmish. Sergeant Donovan attributes the ab- sence of serious hurts to the fact that the soldiers carried no side arms. Had such been the case a disastrous result might kave been recorded. The sergeant has given orders to arrest any soldler showing signs of intoxication and the original thirty may be considerably augmented. The police will adopt stringent measures to prevent a recurrence of last night's r. a 2u
