20 CALL, SATURKDAY, AJGUST 3, 1901.° SPORTS==TROTTING AND RUNNING RACES, BASEBALL—SPORTS CRESCEUS CLIPS A HALF SECOND OFF HIS OWN WORLD'S RECORD Against Stiff Wind Blowing Up the Stretch the King of Stallion Minutes Two and One-Quarter Seconds OLUMBUS, Ohlo, Aug. 2.—Cres- ceus, champion of the trotting turf, added mere laurels to his fame to-day by trotting a mile in 021, reducing by half a second his week-0ld record of 2:02%, made at Cleveland last Friday. The first half was trotted in %, the first time that dis- tance has been covered in less than one minute by a trotter. The time by quar- ters was %, :59%, 1:30%, 2:02. A stiff wind blowing up the stretch kept him from stepping faster than 2:02. More than 12000 people went to the Driving<Park to see the trial. It was a brilliant assemblage, and intense enthu- sasm for the horse was manfested. The weather noon was unpromising. The v was lowering and overcast, and a few ops of rain fell, though not enough to k, which was in excellent con- | keep the crowd away, but a | g wind was blowing from the very st | | 2 o'clock the heavens cleared and | came out warm and bright, but‘ i not decrease in force.

At | owing to the fierce wind, the| 0dds against the great horse increased to | 52 to §5, but the backers of Cresceus were | game and took the short end as long as| pools were sold. 3 | Tim Murphy Rean, thé trainer, was ready to accompany Cresceus with a run- | ner, and Dan Lahoe waited at the half- mile pole to take him on from there. On the fifth score Ketcham nodded for | the word, but Cresceus was not in his | stride. he pulled up at the first turn | to try it again. Down to the wire he| rushed, the runner two lengths behind, and this time it was a go. Gamely facing | the breeze, the champion started on his | journey, moving with apparent ease and | at his greatest speed. The runner caught him at the quarter, and a sigh went up from the breathless throng as the time | went up—a quarter of a second less than| ANGAY BETTORS THREATEN JUDBES Close Decision on Butte Track Raises a Storm.

Now the wind was at his back, and realizing the advantage, Ketcham keFt him at a great elip. The half-mile pole was reached in 59% seconds, a record never before- attained, and here it was that the second runner caught him up. Into the far turn and around it, the great stallion thundered, his mighty mus- cles and machine-like stride carrying him as if on wings. The three-quarter pole was reached and passed in the wonderful time of 1:30%. Then came the trial, for when Cresceus turned into the stretch the bitter ‘wind beat him in the face and held him by force. For the fraction of a second he seemed to falter, but his driver's voice was in his ears, and on he came. With great courage he plunged in toward the finish with weakened stride, and in spite of the buffeting of the breeze, flashed under the wire a winner against time. But for the wind against which Cresceus struggled it is believed this time would have been a second faster. It was the most wonderful mile ever trotted on -any track. Enthusiasm broke loose as soon as the had passed the wire. The crowd rushed on to the track to greet the cham- jion. and a huge wreath of flowers was ung round his neck. Mr. Ketcham, owner and driver, was carried to the judges’ stand and called on for a speech. In a few words hé expressed his appre- ciation of the interest taken in the at- tempt, his trust in Ohio horses and his confidence in his own great trotter. Cresceus was not unduly fatigued by his effort, and half an hour later seemed ready for another mile. The two other great events of the clos- this track were also marked by fast time. Summary First race, 2:18 class, pace, purse $2000—C. F. W. won fourth, nfth and sixth heats in 2:10%, 2:13, 2:12%. John R. Potts won first and sec- ond heat in 2:11%, 2:12.

BENCH SHOMS WL BE HeLD Kennel Club Events Will Occur in Los Angeles and Oakland. An altogether unusual amount of inter- | est is being manifested .among the dog | fanciers at this time of year, and the rea- | son for it 1s that two shows are to be held | this fall, one in Los Angeles in October | and the other in Oakland in December. | The Los Angeles show will be given by | the Sixth Agricultural Association, in con- nection with the fair, and will be under the rules of the American Kennel Club. | It is probable that the winners classes will count three points, as there will un- doubtedly be over 250 dogs entered. The superintendent is David J. Sinclalr, to whom all inquiries should be addressed at 624 Market street. Charles Sumner will judge fox terriers and L. A. Klein, the| Eastern expert, will pass on most of the other breeds. The Oakland show will be held by the | Alameda County Poultry Association, and John Bradshaw will be the manager and superintendent. Inquiries addressed to him at the Woodlawn Kennels, corner of Geary street and Central avenue, will re- ceive prompt attention. The judges se- lected so far for this show are Norman Stewart for collies, F. E. Miller for cock- ers, Charles Harker for St. Bernards and mastiffs and James J. Lynn for all ter- riers. The show will be held under the American Kennel Club rules, and the win- ners’ classes will probably have the same value as Los Angeles, as the number of entries will be at least fully as large. Fred Lueck of Sacramento has had the misfortune to lose his noted St. Bernard bitch Beauty by death. Beauty was well known on the bench, where she has won many prizes. Mr. Albert Joseph, the enthusiastic bull terrier breeder, has recently added to his kennels the Boston terrier bitch Lady Montez, by Champion Spider out of Lizzie. Philip C. Meyer, the proprietor of the Glenwood Kennels at San Mateo, is the owner of a fine litter of Champion-Havoc pups. Mr. Mever will probably have the largest individual exhibit at Oakland. A regular meeting of the Pacific Fox Terrier Club was held Monday evening last at 41 Sutter street, N. H. Hickman in the chair, and Messrs. Ford, Moore, D'Aquin and Martin present. Jjohn W.| Mitchell of Los Angeles, an enthusiastic | fancier, who has been connected with the breed for fifteen years, was elected a member. Entries for the first division of the Produce Stakes for 1902, to be competed at the San Francisco Kennel Club show, were received as follows: E. Courtney Ford's Eclipse Blanche, J. B. Martin enters Woodlawn Kennels' Dottle, W. ¥. Foster's Lilllan Sage and Dr. C. E. Tur- ner's ‘Nuisance. Entries for the second division—C. K. Har- ley’s Queen Dance and Carmencita, W. F.

Young and Carl Westerfeld and Commo- dore H. D. Hawks was appointed by the Corinthian Club to prepare Presto for the race. Two of these wished to remove her inside ballast and put the weight on a fin keel, but as the third thought it wisest to leave her as she is the commit- tee yielded. The boat was then turned over to her owner, Frank Stone, who will make such alterations as he thinks fit. Though the challenger Helen undoubt- edly is very fast in a moderate breeze and LOSES HEAVILY Books of His Firm Show That Many Accounts Were Overpaid. e CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—George H. Phillips will issue a circular to-morrow addressed to the customers of his firm, announcing that he will be able to resume active op- erations on the Board of Trade by next Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest, possibly on Monday. The statement will also promise patrons of the company that before any new trades are made a com- glete and satisfactory summary of what “(s books show will be given to the pub- c. Phillips asserts that the experts’ exam- ination of the firm’s books make it cer- tain that the worst has been told and that the firm is not a loser to a larger ex- tent than $300,000. His faith in the loyalty of his clients is unshaken and even carries him to the point where he believes that 9 per cent of those who are found by examination of the books to have been overpaid as a result of the May deal will gladly refund the balance due him. The total amount of this over-payment is estimated to be a little under $250,000. The deposed ‘‘Corn King” says that there is no legal process by which these people can be made to refund the momey, but he is confident that nearly all of them will do so as soon as they understand the circumstances. For his own part he promises to pay every cent of customers’ credits the mo- ment he ascertains what they are. The firm paid out over $20,000 to-day to brokers for current trades, but will not <ettle with any customers till after the examination of the ledgers is completed. ‘Abel D. Osman resigned the secretary- ship of the company to-day. Phillips was undaunted by the action of the secretary. He took over all of Osman’s stock him- self and is now secretary as well as gen- eral manager. Swimming at Sutre’s.

As the race will take place in the channel, the breeze is likely to be stiff and the water pretty rough. Frank Stone, too, is thoroughly familiar with the eddies and currents that cut an important figure in a channel race. A special element of inter- est attaches to the race in the fact that both the challenger and the defender will be sailed by the men who designed, built and own them. THRNING TOWN GRONS I A DA Disappointed Homeseek- ers Pitch Their Tents About Lawton. gl FORT SILL, O. T., Aug. 2—A town of 10,000 people, to be known as Lawton, has grown up just outside the fort limits within a night. Following the close of the land lottery at EI Reno, thousands of homeseekers who drew blanks started for the three points picked out by the Federal Government for townsites in the country, namely, Anadarko, Hobart and Lawton. A majority of the people favored Lawton, which is twenty-five miles inland, and to- night thousands are camped in and about the proposed site, waiting the sale of lots on August 6. Already Lawton has 400 temporary busi- ness houses, including a grocery firm and A nmewspaper. Three streets have been laid out. A national bank has been pro- jected. Every form of gambling known on the frontier is being dealt wide open, side by side with fake shows of various descriptions, and to add to the scenes Comanche Indians have pitched their tents near by. The Indians await their last payment for grass, $120,000 in_the aggre- gate, which is due them under the old contract. Hundreds of persons have pro- cured Government licenses to sell liquors, but it will take two weeks of routine in following out the laws of the tribe be- fore they can open their places. In the meantime. Lawton will be dry. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rallroad is pushing the construction on its_extension into Lawton, and expects to have passenger and freight trains run- ning into the town by Septemiber. The Republicans held a mass meeting last night and decided to run a municipal ticket, and the Democrats are active. The two most valuable claims in the new country adjoin Lawton, and Woods and Miss Mattie Beals, the first winners in this district, are expected to file on them. The ¢laims are valued at between $25,000 and- $40,000 each. e SAN FRANCISCO WHIST PLAYER IS HONORED P. J. Tormey Is Elected President of the American Whist League. MILWAUKERE, Aug. 2—P. J.

Try of Chicago; treasurer, Joha T. Mitchell of Chicago. J. C. Cummings of Des Moines, Iowa, was elected a director. 2 It was decided to-day that a member cannot represent more than one club be- tween congresses in play for the American ‘Whist League challenge trophy. The place for the new congress to meet will be de- cided by the executive committee. At- lantic City, Saratoga, Niagara, Toronto 3:|dd tSam ancisco are mentioned as ean- ates, Cadillac Is Selected. CHICAGO, Aug. 2—The Cadillac of De- troit has been efficially selected to defend the 'Canada’s cup against the Canadian challenger Invader. The decision was reached to-day by the judges after the Cadillac had won another decisive victory over the Milwaukee, beating her over a triangular course of twenty-one miles by about eleven minutes, with the wind blowing at twenty-five miles from the north and northeast. The first race be- tween the Invader and the Cadillac will be sailed August 10, weather permitting. prddes 8 dot e Shamrock II En Route.

The last named club won it with a boat designed by Matthew Turner of Benicia and of a type very similar to this year’s challenger. Indeed, both the Gadder and the Helen, though falling within the letter of the definition of ‘“‘cabin yachts,”” are nearer to being mere racing machines than any other craft on the bay, with the sole exception of the fin- keel sloop Spider, imported from Hong- kong under the name of Doris IL. B e e e e SR R Y REGULAR TROOPS ARE RETURNING Chinese Division on the Way to the Imperial Capital. BERLIN, Aug. 2—A dispatch recefved to-day from Peking says the foreign Min- isters have sanctioned the marching in of a division of 3000 Chinese regular troops to a plaee situated a few li from Peking about August 8, preparatory to the evac- uation of the Chinese capital by the al- lied troops on August 5. PEKING, Aug. 2—The protocol commit- tee of the Ministers of the powers has virtually finished the draft and submitted the same for approval to the Ministers. All questions will be signed in the course of a few days unless there should be some disagreement as to the phraseology resembling the discussion that arose over the word ‘irrevocable” in the early stages of the negotiations. Should such a hitch ?ccu‘;' the signing may be indefinitely de- ayed. Li Hung Chang, who was taken with sudden indisposition yesterday, called in a foreign doctor Lo consult with his personal medical adviser. The malady proves to be a temporary attack, such as he has fre- quently suffered from during the last twelve months. To-day he seemed to have | recovered.

He tells a story of imprison- ment.

Ls-dmneflm DUDES HAVE A LUCKY EIGHTH AND WIN ANOTHER FROM WASPS Charlie Graham Sustains a Compound Frgc— ture of the Thumb Which Will Put Him on the Baseball Shelf for Many Weeks F Henry Harris, who is the uncle of the local team, were a real wise man he would come home and say a few unkind things to his men. Since he departed from these dusty climes for Catalina distress and disaster have befall- en the Wasps. Defeat upon defeat is se- rious enough to cause many misgivings, but wait until he reads to-day’s papers and finds out that in the fourth inning Charlie Graham had his right thumb broken and will not be able to don the big mit for at least a month. This ought to bring the dweller by the sea skating home- ward. The situation was well in local hands until the ethth inning. Hildebrand had made himself famous by a startling right hand catch in left field and the absent Henry's own were smiling over the spoils of Dudes. Then there came an _inning that was like pink lemonade to Mother Lohman, whose eyes were ever on the score board, which told a tale of 2 to 1 in favor of the enemy. Pete took the stick and earned a slngle and was soon safe on second when Streib bunted one of those mean safe short ones. A sacri- fice by Eagan advanced both runners and when Dunleavy hit to center they both tripped merrily over the rubber and the game was won. Graham’s retirement brought Jimmie Sullivan into the game and he will in all probability be seen back of the plate for risco while the “busted” finger knits. Tae score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB. R. Bl‘;l.

B o B i e e L HOT SPELL FOR THE TROTTERS Fast Time Is Made, but the Attendance Is _Small. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 2.—There was not | a breath of air blowing at the track to- day and the hot wave made itself felt in the attendance. However, this hot spell has worked wonders with many old-time | trotters and pacers and caused them to| loosen their joints and move faster than they have for years. | The judges to-day were Thomas Bonner, A. C. Gurnett and Professor E. P. Heald. The timers were Willlam Murray, Charles | Durfee and George Gray. There were no sensational features as the favorites won all the events. The fastest record of the meeting, 2:10%, was made by Myrtha Whips in the free-for-all pace. The first event was a trial against time. The Gossiper mare, Lady Fair, started to beat 2:31, but she just man- aged to get a mark of 2:30. The free-for- all pace had three starters—Kelly Briggs, Edna R and Osito. Kelly Briggs was the favorite. In the first heat Edna R broke at the eighth pole, caught her stride again, but it was too late, for Kelly Briggs won by a length from Myrtha Whips in 2:12%, Edna R hopelessly dis- tanced. Myrtha Whips captured the next heat in 2:10%, defeating Kelly Briggs by 2 neck. In the 2:14 class trotting race, which fol- lowed, there were six entries—Richmond Chief, Osita, Ned Thorne, Auzella, Boy- dello and Nora McKinney. Auzella was made favorite, while the rest sold at from $4 to $6 to $1 in the books After several ineffectual attempts to get off on even terms Starter Cohen sent them away. Ned Thorne took the lead, with Richmond Chief and Nora McKinney close up. The favorite was two lengths further behind, while Osito broke into a run at the quar- ter pole and before catching his stride lost | all chances of being a contestant. At the half Nora McKinney broke and fell back. Auzella came up with a rush and passed her and Richmond Chief and set sail for Ned Thorne. They trotted head and head to the wire, but the former won by a nese in the excellent time of 2:11%. Auzella was favorite for the next heat again, and the way she led the procession from ‘“end to end” was disheartening to | those who backed Ned Thorne. It seemed as if the preceding heat had taken all the speed away from them, for this was won in 2:16%. Bunch made one of his sensa- | tional homestretch drives and got the place from Ned Thorne oy a length, while Auzella was five lenghts in advance. The bookies held out Auzella for the next heat, but_offered $12 on Richmond Chief, $3 on Ned Thorne, $15 on Boydello and $8 on Nora McKinney. Auzella had no trouble in capturing this heat. for she outclassed all her rivals. Ned Thorne passed Nora McKinney, who was second, and in the homestretch tried to pass Auzella, who | easily outfooted him to the wire—time 2:18, | Richmond Chief and Boydello just saving their distance. Auzella won the next heat and race in a jog in 2:23%. The last race of the day was for the Golden Gate stakes. The starters were: A, Joseph's Durfee M¢, J. O'Kane's Sandow, D R. Misner’'s Sable Le Grande and D. Roberts’ Al Gregor. The last named was a favorite. He lost the first heaf, how. ever, Sandow winning in 2:19%, Durfee Mc almost at his throat latch, while Al| Gregor was a length further away. In | the three succeeding heats Al Gregor won | all driven out in 2:18%, 2:21% and 3-19, The best race of the week will ‘take place to-morrow. It is for the 2:17 class | pacers, and a number of patrons of good racing arrived from San Francisco and adjacent cities to-night. SUMMARY.

HELENA, Mont.,, Aug. 2—Although characterizing the request as reprehensi- ble, Judge Hiram Knowles to-day granted a motion to dismiss the Indictments against Chauncey Griswold and Albert Jemison, charged with subornation of perjury in connection with timber entries in the Missoula Land Office. When court opened this morning District Attorney W. B. Rodgers presented the matter to Judge Knowles, entering a nolle prosequl. “I do not understand that the Attorney General of the United States has the right to make a motion of this kind in this court,” replied the Judge, “and must as- sume that you make such motion as the United States Attorney for the district of Montana.” “I make the motion to dismiss these prosecutions against Griswold and Jemi- son as United States Attorney for the dis- trict of Montana, but desire it to be un- derstood that I make the same at the re- quest and under the direction of the At- torney General of the United States,” de- clared Rodgers. “Under the circumstances,” said Judge Knowles, “the motion will have. o be granted and the nolle entered. I cannot help saying, however, that it is reprehen- sible, very much so.” —_— RESULTS OF AMERICAN WHIST TOURNAMENT Play Grows Thick and Fast in tha National Competition at Milwaukee.
