ARTICULATE IS BEATEN BY A DESPISED ONE H]H AHMY MEN>At Odds of 50 to I Rio de Altar Reaches the Wire Two Lengths in Front of the Brown Colt—-Reopening Day at Oakland Ly | BY F. E. MULHOLLAND. T seemed old fashion-like and quite | apropos that the Baldwin stable should pop one of its bonbons re- opening day at Oakland, for some- thing deliciously invigorating and de- lightful is always looked for from that direction. The’booking fraternity lald & to 1 against Rio de Altar in the betting on the fourth event over six furlongs, and | ali the colt did was beat Articulate, the |best mud horse on the coast. Charley | Thorpe, who rode Rio de Altar on his pre- vicus two starts at Tanforan, is not here} | now. He has gone back to his old Ne- | braska home. Chances are he will yet | become a good and prosperous farmer. | Rain had left the Oakland course in a | muddy condition, and little wonder is | there “that Articulate was plunged on at 1to 2 and 3 to 5. ‘“Badshot” Conley re- rosed in the saddle and was unable to | outfoot Bassinger on Frank Bell to the | stretch. Each rider swung wide in mak- |irg the turn for home and Alexander, tride Rio de Altar, hugging the rail in was_sloppy and less holding, stole a march. While Frank Bell {and the first choice were butnping to- | gether the Baldwin entry won by two {open lengths in 1:17%. The winner car- | ried a few strolling bets. | . Under the existing circumstances favor- |ites managed to hold their own, taking three of the events run off. Although the w emained threatening, a fair sized v s_in attendance. | The “bush” horse I Don't Know, ridden | by Marty Bergen, and 10 to 1 in the bet- | ting, won the first sprint. Irate, the 8 to § | favorite, with Ransch up, was heralded j2s_the 'sood thing, but under excellent handling the outsider got home first by a | length. Triple Cross, a grandson of Mo- | rello, finished third. Glendenning, owned by Atkin & Lot- | tridge, galloped for the haif mile two- vear-old dash. Dr. Scharff, the favorite, | put in a very tame bid, and Glendenning, with J. Martin up, won pulling up from Estado, a 30 to 1 shot.. The first choice i not run a quarter before he was short f cash, getting in a fair third. Jockey E. Matthews rode Horton in the seven furlong affair, for which Eonic was a heavily played favorite at short odds. Never during his racing career has the little red horse been beaten when as close | to the leaders at the head of the stretch as he was yesterday. Matthews did everything but stand on his head in_the | saddle, and Eonic dropped in first by four lengths. Andrattus, which made the run- | ning, finished in the show. Several moons have gone by since Malay { has been furnished with his number of mud. Although the brown gelding’s pre- vious race would not look well, framed, he won the mile and a sixteenth ‘selling number like a_stake horse. Dr. Rowell's entry was backed down to 2 to 1 favorit- sm, winning by four lengths from Gaunt- Wyoming ran fourth, behind Cas ‘wh(-rc the footing | let.

Morrissey, Handicapper, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS MAY BOX HERE IN JULY San Francisco Athletic Club Purposes Bringing Off Big Ring Battle in Daytime. Alec Greggains, manager of the San Francisco Athletic Club, ‘feels certain that his request for a fight permit will be granted by the Police Committee of the | Boara of Supervisors on Thursday after- noon. If it is granted there is’every pos- sibility that the ring-goers of the West | will have an opportunity of seeing Fitz- simmons and Champion Jim Jeffries battle in this city on July 4. Ned Homan is now in the East negotlating with Fitzsim- mons, and there is every probability that the men will hold their second meeting here. Greggains yesterday denied the story that the National Club had secured Jef- fries’ signature to box under its auspices. He said that Billy Delaney, who is look- ing after the champion’s interests, is to meet him this evening and arrange a bat- tle to be fought before the San Francisco Athletic Club. Delaney is recuperating at mpbell, Santa Clara County, but has written to Greggains saying that he would be at the McGovern-Gardner fight this evening. It is the plan of the fight promoters to bring off a championship battle at one of the local ball grounds in the afternoon so that pictures can be taken of the fight. They feel sanguine that the fight would attract 20,000 people to this city and have assurances from the railroad that special excursion trains will be run. In the event that a match cannot be arranged between Jeffries and Fitzsim- mons, Jack Moffat and Jack Root of Chi- cago will be matched to battle for the middleweight cliampionship of the world, and Charles Thurston and Rube Ferns will be signed to box ‘a preliminary bout of twenty rounds. Greggains has received assurances from the Police Committee that they will grant him a permit for July, so that it is a fore- gone conclusion that a big contest will be brought off in this city on the national holiday.

Erroneous. Mistake Made by Including Bullion With Value of Commerce. WASHINGTON, April 29.—In a recent statement given to the press by the divi- slon of insular affairs of the War Depart- ment a considerable loss was indicated in the trade of Cuba with-'the United States for the first elght months of 1900, as compared with the same period of 18%9. It is now explained by the division of insular affairs that in that statement the value of gold and silver coin and bul- lion was included in the total value of commerce between Cuba and the United States. Eliminating the coin shipments, it is ascertained that instead of there be- ing a decrease in the value of imports into Cuba from the United States there is an increase of $1,220,205 for the' first eight months of 1900 over the same period of 1899. it is stated that while therc may have been an impulse of sentiment at the | close Gf the war on the part of the pres- | ent Cuban importers to buy from the country that had just secured to them their liberty there is no evidence of it to be found in the subsequent statistics. There are isolated cases of Cuban mer- chants who tried to substitute American products for Spanish on sentimental grounds, but that their efforts proved very successful cannot be shown. One extensive dealer in footwear tried to in- troduce American shoes, but his custom- ers. preferred the Spanish last even though it was coupled with inferior leath- er and poorer workmanship. During the’ last six months of 1900 Spain furnished $620,098 worth of shoes and the United | States $169,768 worth. Unless the form of the American shoes can be made to suit the Cuban taste and Cuban custom the American shoe manufacturer, it is stated, cannot expect to dominate the Cuban shoe trade. The same is_true of cotton goods. Cubans, like the Mexicans, have come to prefer the goods of European make and g¢he European manufacturers, | through long application, have come to | know what these people prefer and make | goods expressly for that market, The siatement issued by the division in | conclusion says, *It therefore appears that instead of there being a loss in the export trade of Cuba to the United States the trade is not only being maintained, | but is increasing.” EASTERN BASEBALL GAMES.

HARRY CORBETT IS SELECTED TO REFEREE THE BIG BATTLE Terry McGovern and for Their Fistic Engagement Thi Before the Camera and Exchange Oscar Gardner Are in Fine Fettle and Ready s Evening-—The Boxers Meet Warm and Hearty Greetings ARRY CORBETT, the well- known sporting man and brother of the ex-champion heavyweight boxer, was yesterday chosen to referee the McGovern-Gardner fight, which is to take place in Mechanics’ Pavilion to-night. The selection was en- tirely unlooked for by Corbett himself and he was loth to accept the honor until as- sured that no other man was so agree- able to both boxers. It was feared that the referee question would cause some ill-feeling between the fighters and their managers, but it was amicably settled and in very short order. Chariey’ White, the famous New York referce, wes open for the engagement, but as soon as he learned that it was de- sired that some local man referee the bout he retired gracefully from the fleld. Through some misunderstanding the principais and their representatives did not come together until an hour after the time fixed for the selection of the referee. At 2 o’clock Gardner, accompanied by his trainer, met Sam. Harris, manager for McGovern, and Jim Kennedy, manager of the Twentieth Century Club, in a back room of Corbett's saloon. The meeting was short and decisive. Harris said he knew but a few Californians. Gardner said any fair man was agreeable to him and Kennedy informed both that he had seen a2 number of bhouts In this city and said the referees had shown a knowledge of the business and were impartial in their Jjudgment. Harris said he o+ would like to have ) p L WELL-KNOWN SPORTING MAN, WHO WILL REFEREE THE Mec- GOVERN-GARDNER FIGHT. ! -—_ The betting on the McGovern-Garner fight was heavy at the Ocean View pool- rooms.
