San Francisco 7, Los Angeles 5. | Many baseball enthusiasts went to Rec- reation Park yesterday to see the reju- venated team from Los Angeles and de- | termine, if possible, what chance the men | from the south have of wresting the pen- | nant from the San Franciscos. The mat- ter is still an enigma. Uncle Henry’s men won by a score of 7 to 5 after a game re- plete with excitement and errors. In the latter the southerners had a shade the better of the locals, rolling up a total of eight to seven for the opposing side. Los Angeles played Altrock, the Cana- dian, in the pitcher's box, with McPart- 1in, Jones, Hale and Hartwell in reserve. Los Angeles was first at bat and made a good start. Hemphill and Householder | each lined the ball out for singles, but the side was retired without a run. The run-getting commenced in the third. Wilson for San Francisco reached first on a hit to pitcher, who fumbled the ball. Hildebrand Lit to deep right field. The | ball was again fumbled, Wilson scoring and Hildebrand reaching third. Schwartz was put out on a fly to left. Hildebrand | beat the ball home a fraction of a second and scored. Dougherty made a sensational | one-handed catch of Pabst’s hit to right, retiring the side. | San Francisco scored three more in 1he‘ fourth, Los Angeles suffering from an | attack of the “rattles.”” The outfielders | dropped several flies which seemed sure outs. Two more in the fifth completed the | list of rums for the locals. | Los Angeles sent two men over in the fourth, chiefly through errors by the in- fielders. Kihm was safe on first owing to a fumble by the shortstop. He reached | third on a_wild throw of C. Reilly’s hit | and scored on Wilson's fumble at the | plate of an infield hit. Dougherty fol lowed with a hit to second, scoring Reilly. Dougherty scored the next run in the seventh for Los Angele: He hit to cen- | ter, made second on Nordyke's fumble and | scored on Shay’'s wild throw to first to | catch Hemphill. | In its last time at bat Los Angeles | scored two more and for a time looked like making it a tie. Hemphill's hit to right scored Spies and Dougherty. The same teams will meet again this aft- ernoon at 3 o'clock. It is expected th will have recovered from their nervous- ness and will play faster ball. The scor | SAN FRANCISCO, AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A.

Sanborn, Vail & Co., 741 Market.* RIVAL MIDDLEWEIGHTS ARE READY FOR THEIR MEETING IN THE RING Experts Figure Gardner a Legitimate Favorite on Previous Perform- ances, but Acknowledge That It Is Difficult to Get an Accurate Line on Thomas O’Rourke’s Very Clever Colored Boxer e — HE meeting in Mechanics’ Pavil- ion to-night of George Gardner and Joe Walcott has been more widely discussed than any sporting event held here in many months. It is expected to attract an enormous attend- ance. Both men have fought some wonderful ring battles and are recognized as being among the best of the middle-weight di- vision. Gardner is pronounced on all sides one of the cleverest men that ever entered a ring. He is sald to have improved great- ly in speed and endurance since coming to this coast. If Walcott does not take down his number to-night there are few men of his welght who stand between him and the world’s championship. That he is ambitious is evidenced by a remark he dropped some weeks since. He boxed at a benefit at which Jeffries and Ruhlin also appeared. Some one remarked upon his being nearly as tall as Jeffries and that he ought to be fighting the big heavy-weights. Gardner suprised those present by.saying quietly: “I'll fight the heavy-welghts. I bar no man.” Although fighters are not popularly sup- posed to be cast in a gentle mold, Gard- ner is the exception. He lives a quiet life, out of the ring, and is a religious man. He is a church-goer, attending services regularly. Opposed to him to-night is the man whose standing among boxers authorities on the game have been unable to fix. Some of the best men that ever pulled on a glove have declined the issue with him —they think they can find easler oppo- nents. Tom O'Rourke offered Sharkey a bonus of $000 if he would agree to meet Walcott in a 20-round bout. The Sailor was then in his prime, but he could not be dragged into meeting the sawed-off colored man. The betting last night was still done with the odds at 10 to 8, Gardner ruling favorite. There was more Walcott money 1 sight, however, than Gardner money. 1In what wagering was done at Zeke Abrams’ in the paris mutuels Gardner had a slight lead. He was chiefly in demand to win in from 6 to 10 rounds or that he would get the decision if the bout went the full twenty rounds. George Harding, who is an authority on pugilism, figures Gardner a legitimate fa- vorite. He defeated Moffatt and Carter, showing great improvement in the latter fight. Walcott lost to Carter last winter. Says Harding: ‘Gardner is the coming man. He is equally clever with either hand. He hits hard and never gets con- fused. He is always cool and will not take a chance of getting hurt, preferring to await his opportunity. I look for him to defeat Walcott.” As the men are to fight at catch weights they have done only light work during the past two days. Neither has had a set- | back in his training and will have no ex- cuses to offer on that score. S o e Dixon Escapes a Knockout. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.—Benny Yanger of Chicago gained the decision here to-night over George Dixon, the former feather- weight champion of the world, after fif- teen rounds of fast fighting. It was cnly Dixon's ring generalship that saved him from a knockout. Dixon weighed in at 121 pounds and Yanger at 124 The second and concluding rounds were the best of the fight. In the former they came together without any preliminary fiddling and played a merry tattoo on each other’s ribs. Dixon was compelled to break ground frequent- ly. In the last round Yanger rushed Dix- on, administering terrific punishment on the body. The latter was game and gave flashes of his former prowess by counter- ing heavily, but each time he was forced to break ground as the Chicago boy bore in. This round was decidedly in Yanger's favor. Dixon showed well in the elghth. i Toward the iond of Hhs round ne nauleg NOTED BOXERS WHO WILL MEET TO-NIGHT IN MECHANICS' PA- anger in one c e ring an VILION IN WHAT IS EXPECTED TO PROVE ONE OF THE GRE. planted every blow known in the fighting s AT- category upon him.

The Senator experienced good weather until a point 200 miles off the Vancouver coast, when she encountered a terrific gale which lasted several hours. A minor ac- cident occurred “to her machinery and while repairs were being made the steam- er rolled fearfully, she having no freight or ballast. i The Senator sailed from Nome Septem- ber 16. Out of a large number of passen- gers on the Senator not one of them brought out as much money as they took with them. All speak in high terms of the country as a mining section, but say that the laws are such that it will be years before the country will open up. They say that not one new claim has been opened in the vicinity of Nome this season for the reason that when prospectors find pay diggings some one comes along and claims it by right of prior location, and it is then tied up in court. The largest nugget ever found in_the north was taken out of Anvil Creek Sep- tember 14. It weighs ninety-seven ounces and is valued at $1552. A rich strike is Teported on the head of Grouse Guich. The pay streak is seventy-flve feet deep and of unknown extent. The claim was bonded for $50,000 and the bond had lapsed but_a few days before the strike was made. Sick and indigent people at Nome have reached such large numbers that the question of what shall be done with them is the main topic. This year there is no Government transport on which they can be sent south, as was the case last year, and the outlook for them is exceedingly gloomy. The hospitals are taxed to their utmost capacity and the sick and dis- tressed are clamoring for admission. Just before the Senator sailed a mass meeting was to be called for the purpose of raising money to send that class out on the last oat. Captain Patterson reports that he did not see anything of the steamer Nome City, which sailed from Dutch Harbor, Se?lembe‘r 17, for Nome with disabled ma- chinery, but thinks she will reach her des- tination all right, as the weather was News comes from Dutch Harbor to the effect that the killing of seals on St. Paul and St. George islands has caused the seals to look for new quarters. A Japa- nese schooner found a new rookery in the Aleutian group on an island called Dot dyr and made a raid on it, the seals. Probably over ‘were found there by Captain Pet the schooner Challenger, who repo: n. of it L IVE LL e “",’:fiz 070S — to the cutter Manning. The Manning started out looking for the seal poachers, but failed to find them. She picked up a boat with three Japanese sealers, who had been lost and took them to Unalaska and turned them over to the United States authorities. —_— South Dakota Coursing. M;ADISON, 8.

FAILS 10 BREAK ORMER REGORD Cresceus, King of Trot- ters, Goes a Mile in 2:04 1-2. Great Son of Robert McGregor Succeeds in Lowering the Track Time. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.—Cresceus, the king of trotters, to-day falled to lower his record of 2:02%, made at Columbus, Ohio, August 2, in a trial on the Belmont Driving Club course at Narbarth, a sub- urb of this city. The great son of Robert McGregor stepped the mile in 2:04%, with- out a skip, and thereby reduced the track record of 2:08%, made by Alix, on Novem- ber 7, 1894, _ Everything was conducive to fine time. The track was lightning fast and there was not enough breeze to interfere the progress of the great tro.ter. There were nearly 8000 people present when Owner Ketcham brought Cresceus n the track for his first jog. He warmed gp in the stretch for a few minutes and then jogged around the lx:nck in 2:31 After a rubbing down Cresceus w brought out for his preliminary _tri Without a pacemaker he did the mile in 2:13%. It was 4:20 when the horse made his ap- pearance for the final effort at record- breaking. After scoring once Ketcham gave the starter the nod ani the trotter was off, paced by a runner attached to a sulky. When the first quarter was reached in :30% everybody thought the ‘ecord would surely be broken. The second quarter on the straight backstretch was made in 30% seconds, but the third was a fraction of a cond slower. Turning int) the home- retch Ketcham urged the trotting ma- chine to his utmost, but the best he couid do was :313 for the quarter. As the horse flashed under the wire a great shout went up from the crowd, which immediately swarmed around the horse and owner. Ketcham had no excuse to offer for the faflure to break the record, saying the track and weather were favcrable. Summary: , 2:02%; Cresceus, Time by quarters—:30%, 1:0 Anaconda Beats Joe Patchen.
