THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ‘SATURDA , JUNE 1, 1901. 5 RACING, BASEBALL, FOOTBALL AND YACHTING-.-SPORT -T ANGELS WIN IN AN EXTRA INNING GAME Single Runr V:’as Made in | the Eleventh---Whalen Breaks Bone in Foot The aggregation from the orange belt turned the tables on the locals vester by a score of 1 to 0 in an eleven ipr game replete with many brilliant plays al incidents that were nol e baseball. To start the ball a-rolk ing, Jimmie Whalen's career, at least for the major part of this season, W brought to a sudden close. While run- ning bases in the early part of the third he turned his ankle on the secord bag, thereby fracturing one of the small bones of the foot. Such is the irony of fate. Recently hi ary was increased on ac- count of good work in the box. Roy Evans was substituted, and, al- though somewhat amiss in his fiel* ag, pitched eplendid ball, allowing but five scattered hits and striking out eight men. If he had exercised a little more care in the eleventh, the result might have been reversed. In that inning C. Rellly led with a smash toward first bag whicih Nordyke tried to intercept. Evans ran over to cover the bag, but was several feet from it when the ball was thrown to him. Thus Reflly got a have been retired. sacrificed him to sec- ond. Briseno, the boy wonder, followed next and drove an easy one to Krug, who first. The ball wandered and over to.the bleachers, to travel home. The score: EAN FRANCISCO, AB. R. BH. §B. PO. A. E.

The former won the three-year-old and up race in easy fashion, being quoted on the slates at 8-1, a rank out- sider. True Blue, the favorite, was never | in the race after the near turn. Glenden- ning administered even a greater surprise jolt than Montallade. Set down by the pencilers at 10-1, this two-year-old walked | away from the field, beating Carlo, the favorite, by five lengths. Bassinger’s first victory was registered on Irate, an 11-5 favorite, over the six- furlong route. Iraté led ali the way, Ga- lene and Aurora holding on until the pad- dock, when Fauntleroy on Alaria worked through the pack and landed the place. { Parizade, a 7-6 favorite, gave Bassinger | his second victory. After a long delay a the post, due to the inability of Burli game in steadying You You, the two-year- old fillies broke in a fair start. When the stretch was reached Parizade shot out in front, Lady Carlo and Quadra tacking on in Chinese fashion. Flattered, with Hoar up, passed Quadra at the paddock and the bunch strung out as the wire was passed. Gibraltar, never headed, won the third | race over the Futurity course. The two | Rios, De Altar and Chico, were in the | running until the stretch. The start was a good one after a long delay caused by a | combination play of unruliness, in which | Mike Rice, Gibraltar and Altar 2ssumed | villainous parts. 1 Montallade at 8-1, the outsider in a four- cornered race, the fourth on the card, over , seven furlongs, won without a struggle on the stretch. True Blue, the favorite, and Byron Rose had a comfortable lead down the back stretch as they teamed to- | gether. At the far turn Montallade moved up and when the stretch was reached cut out in front. Byron Rose, | third choice, captured place money, True Biue finishing last. When Glendenning with Webster up, a 10-1 shot, won the five-furlong race for two-year-olds a shout went up from the asphalt. Carlo, the 11-5 favorite, was fig- | ured as the proper play, but at no time was Glendenning headed after steam was up. Five lengths behind was Carlo when the tape was breasted. Halnault came in | for the show. In this race Fauntleroy on | Porous fell just above the paddock and | was thrown against the fence. How he | escaped extinction is miraculous. As it| was, he was badly stunned and bruised | and ‘was carried to the hospital, where he | soon revived. | The sixth race was between Dangerous Maid and Spike, both marked at about the | same price on the books. Spike led. but | from the paddock the id showed her | gameness and won by a neck. | Track Notes. H. J. Wilson, a popular hotel man of Butte and president of the Montana | Jockey Club, is here on a short visit. During his stay he will see that the com- ing big meet of his club is not overlooked by horsemen. To-Day’s Entries.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 3lL.—Inability of the ranchers in the Salt River Valley to secure laborers to gather the hay and grain crops has assumed a most serious form, and unless help comes soon the damage will be very heavy. Much of the first crop of alfalfa is spoiling in the sields because enough men cannot be en- gaged to care for it, and the second crop will be ready in a few weeks. The largest grain crop ever known in this Territory is ripe, but much of it will be ruined un- Jess men can be found to handle it. Heavy Debt of a Doctor. QHICAGO; May 3L—Orlando E. Miller, a Chicago physician, filled a petition in bankruptcey to-day, scheduling an indebt- ednefs of $585,000, with no assets. Most of the debts were contracted in Denver pre- vicus, to 1899. Miller was a large stock- holdet in the Commercial National Bank of that city, now irsolvent YACHTSITAN LAWSON AGREES TO TERMS NEW YORK, May 3L—The Mail and Express to-day says: It was unofficially stated to-day that the New York Yacht Club, through Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard, has received a letter from Thom- as W. Lawson, the owner of the Independ- ence, in which the Boston yachtsman agrees to comply with all the require- ments of that organization as to the con- ditions to govern the entrance of his yacht in the trial races. As a result, it is sald by one who claims to know, the Inde- pendence will be transferred to a member of the New York Yacht Club and the Boston ninety-footer will be made eligible to compete in not only the contests to se- cure a boat to defend the America’s cup against the Shamrock II but will be al- lowed to participate in the majority of the New Vork Yacht Club fixtures in which the Columbia and Constitution will take part. STOCKTON POLICE SEEKING MISSING YOUNG WOMAN Merced Physician May Be Charged With Having Caused Her Death. STOCKTON, May 31.—The police are en- gaged in a search in this city for Mrs. Ludora Skelton, with the expectation that whem they find her they will uncover a crime. Olva O. Sage, a brother, and Mrs. Sage, the mother of the unfortunate young woman, are assisting in the search. Should the girl be found alive the rela- tives will, it is claimed, immediately swear to a complaint charging a Merced physician with having performed a crimi- nal operation. Should she be found dead the charge may be murder. The young woman lived with her mother and brother at Legrande. She was en- gaged to be married to W. H. Kroh, a clerk in a Legrande store, Recently the young woman confessed to her mother that she had been under a physician’s care. Kroh was accused by the brother and promised to marry the girl. On Sunday night Mrs. Sage and her son were off their guard and the young wo- man was removed from the house. She was traced to this city. She reached here on the early Santa Fe train Monday morning. From the Santa Fe depot no further trace of her has béen foung.o Mrs. Skelton has been a single woman for about two years, She is 23 years ol 5 feet 4 inches in height, of mdl’um by and light complexion. She is rather pre- e :;-.l‘ng She has a slight defect hphu e e sy CAVILL IS GIVEN LEAVE OF ABSENCE Doctors Pronounce the Great Swimmer to Be in Bad Condition Sid Cavill, swimming instructor of the Olympic Club, was last night given six months’ leave of absence by the board of directors in order that he may recuperate his failing health. During his absence Percy Cavill, a brother of the present in- structer, will teach in his place. Cavill has been ailing for the past few months. He contracted a cold while standing around the big tank at the club and he has suffered severely. His usual weight is 180 pounds, but he now weighs 146 pounds. His physician warned him that if he did not take a rest he would be a candidate for burial honors. Sid took the advice to heart and he made applica~ tion to the board for leave of absence. The directors having in mind the splendid werk done by Cavill granted his request. They also ngreed to engage his brother Percy until Sid returns to the club. Sidney Cavill intends going to New Zea- land, where his brother conducts a coun- try resort. He hopes to recuperate his strength and return to the club in good shape to teach the art of swimming. Percy Cavill, who will act as instructor during his absence, is also a clever swim- mer. He has held a number of world’s records and won a score of valuable trophies. He also has a record for life- saving. He is a member of the famous fenily of swimmers, the Cavills of Aus- tralia. There are at present four boys and a girl surviving, The parents were experts in the water and taught their children to swim as Soon as they could toddle down to the water. Ome brother lost his life while giving an exhibition at the Stockton baths. He was overcome by the gas that generated at the bottom of the tank used for bathing, and before he could be brought to the top he expired. —_—— YACHTSMEN IN ORGANIZATION The regattas of the Corinthian and Cali- fornia Yacht clubs sailed on Decoration day were both very successful, though the wind, especially on the last leg of the California course, was too light for the heavy weather boats. But in the channel, especially toward the close of the regatta, the Corinthians got a fair breeze and a moderate sea. As the race was salled wholly on an ebb tide, there was no diffi- culty, even for the smallest craft, in get- ting across the starting line; indeed, all the starters did so witkin the prescribed period of five minutes. For the same rea- son there was no trouble about being set down Ly the tide on the windward buoy, some of the helmsmen holding on too long before going about to round the mark. There was some very pretty racing in the Corinthian regatta, Frank Stone's Presto, J. W. Pew's Truant and Westerfeld and Morrow’s Aeolus making a close finish in the thirty-foot class. In the twenty-foot class the new craft Spider beat out the vawl Kittiwake, which has been the win- ner for the last two or three years. Among the twenty-five-footers the fin-keeled boat Discovery beat her six competitors, the sloop Merope, also a fin-keeled craft, be- ing second. In the thirty-six-foot class Vice Commodore E. F. Sagar's Edna and the Short brothers' Emma covered the course in exactly the same time to a sec- ond, the first flag going to Emma on a time allowance. In the big class Ariel and Mischief were beaten more than ten minutes by, Har, Speedwelly which produced “a beautiful contest for first place. Ed Howard on going to windward for the second time seemed too far out, but came about and rounded the mark neatly, getting to windward of the Har- poon, sailed by Fred Cock. After a most interesting struggle, in which Speedwell was forced almost into the shore, Harpoon won by less than one minute, In the California Club's annual regatta the time allowances were not calculated, but they make no difference to the re- sults, the sloop Hope winning the flag in the thirty-foot class, the sloop Jessle E, in the thirty-six-foot class and the yawl Idler in the forty-four-foot class. There were two slight mishaps during the race, the vawl Gypsie carrying away her spin naker in the run from Mission Rock and the sloop Jessie E. carrying away her backstay while beating out to Blossom Rock buoy. The flagship Thelma has not yet been repaired since her collision with the steamer Transit, but went over the course in cruising rig. The California fleet made a_ pretty sight as it crossed the starting line, the starts in all three classes being made between 1:55:15 p. m. and 1:57:55 p. m. During the week the California Yacht Club held a meeting, at which the pro- posal made by the Corinthians that every yacht club on the bay should send dele- gates to the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht As- sociation, but that the expenses of the annual regatta shall be borne by each club in exact proportion to the number of yachts entered, was discussed. It was decided to accept the proposal, and the following were chosen as delegates to the association: Vice Commodore C. E. Clark, Port Captain A. M. Clay and Commodore 8. 8. Marshall. Seven new members were elected. Dr. T. L. Hill's sloop Cygnus started on ‘Wednesday evening on a four-days' trip to Napa. 5 H. R. Simpkins’ yawl Tramentana start- ed out on Tuesday morning for a cruise to Santa Cruz, with the owner, Lansing Mizner, and N. Kittle on board.” Later in the season she will make a trip to the Santa Barbara channel. To-day and to-morrow are epen dates on the schedules of the Californla and Corinthian Yacht clubs. On Wednesday evening, June 5, a meet- ing of the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Asso- clation will be held at the Merchants’ Ex- change, at which delegates from the San Francisco, Corinthian and California Yacht clubs, and possibly also from the Encinals, will be present. As three clubs only are necessary to maintain the exist- ence of the Inter-Club Assoclation, its continued life seems assured, and it is most probable that the South Bay and Vallejo clubs will also come in.
