There seemed never a moment from the first tap of the gong to the last when | the men were not in action. Walcott was | in superb physical econdition and the shower of blows rained on him by his opporent scemed to carry no sting with them. The colored boxer is not to be measured by any rules such as other men are gauged by. He conceded Gardner, the most promising . middle- the world, about fifteen pounds 1t, seven years in age and eleven | es in height, and then sailed into him as though the odds were the other way. When the principals and seconds held discussion in midring, the could not repress a laugh at e cle Walcott made. He was the shortest man in the ring and the jolliest. or a time it seemed likely there would hitch in the proceedings. Walcott > his opponent’s right hand was not in the best condition, and he made a per- sonal examination of the method by | which it was bandaged. Gardner had his gloves on, but removed them so the band- ages could be inspected. Walcott at once made a determined objection to the band- aging, claiming it was too heavily rein- forced, making it almost as hard as a plaster cast. O'Rourke tried to quiet him, saying he would sk the referee to pass judgment on it. This was done, and it was decided that some of the bandage be removed. Gardner retired to his dressing-room, the spectators the while jeering at Walcott. e latter's cherubic countenance was, if anything, more expansive, and he smiled back broadly at the remarks hurled at him from the gallery. A Fair Decision. The decision of Referee Jack Welsh was a just one. Walcott was the aggres- sor throughout and what clean blow were delivered came from his battery He scored the only clean knockdown, al- though Gardner wrestled him to the floor several times. The fight was .not a scien- tific one, there being too much wrestling and rough tactics prevailing throughout. The disparity in size also precluded the possibility of displaying science. The men clinched continually and during their bear-like embraces Gardner punched Wal- cott’s body and slapped him over the kid- reys. The men had hardly shaped in the ring when it _became evident why Walcott likes to fight big men—the bigger the bet- ter. Gardner’s arms, if driven out at a natural angle, would be far above Wal- SIR WILLIAM WARD APPOINTED CONSUL Successor of the Late W. C. Pickers- | gill Is a Noted Man in the Service.

Walcott, on the other hand, could reach Gardner's body and did so repeatedly. If Gardner was not one of | the cleverest and coolest of defensive fighters he would have gone only a short distance along the route last night. His | body seemed covered with gloves, and | many of the resounding blows landed by Walcott thus fafled to reach a vulner- able spot. Many of the blows sounded like the noise made by the mainsall of a yacht flapping in a strong wind. ‘Walcott was in trouble but once dur- ing the fight. This was in the fifteenth round, when Gardner accidentally butted him on the head. For a time Joe's sense | of location deserted him and he hardly knew where he was. During the minute’s rest he was revived with salts of am- monia. He appealed to the referee to protect him from further assaults from that quarter. Earlier in the fight Gard- ner cut the top of his head, but was un- able to explain how it happened. Deceptive Fighting Face. Gardner's “fighting face” is deceptive. From first to last it was+sad and care- worn, but this is said to be its natural expression. He seemed slight when com- pared with Walcott and gave one the im- pression that he was stale from over- training and fighting. He has engaged in five important battles during the past five months. Gardner said he felt in per- fect condition and his faultless blocking indicated that he was. His marvelous cleverness and his hard hitting did not avail him much when the target at which he was aiming was so elusive and so un- certain as Walcott proved to be Gardner went after Walcott at the first tap of the gong. He did not have far to g0, as Walcott was bent on the same mission, having Gardner as the objective point. .Walcott was the first to lead and reached Gardner's face at once. Gardner tried several rights and lefts, but found | Walcott an awkward mark. Toward the | middle of the round Walcott landed a rizht and left on the head that brought Gardner to his knees. Gardner was not much damaged, but he took the full nine second allowed under the rules. For a time the spectators thought this was the beginning of the end, 85 Gardner seemed distressed when he went to his corner. Gardner wrestled Walcott down in the second. He kept playing for the colored man’s head, but not effectively. Wal- cott’s favorite blow was a left rip to the stomach, which he landed twice. Gard- ner missed a right swing that would have felled an ox. In the third there was an exciting mix- up, out of which Walcott came in better condition than his opponent. Walcott showed some clever foot work in side stepping, but it did not rattle Gardner. Walcott seemed like a will o' the wisp in the fourth. Gardner seemed unable to find him at first, but improved toward the end of the round. Gardner Staggers Walcott. The fifth was a busy round. Gardner fought cautiously, not leaving a single opening for Walcott to take advantage of. Both men were fresh in the sixth. This round ended in flerce fighting. Walcott landed a right swing on the back of Gard- ner’s head in the seventh that made the latter unsteady on his legs. Toward the end of the eighth Gardner staggered Wal- cott with a right to the head. The men adopted rough tactics in the etruck on the head with a pitched ball and rendered unconscious. - Wood took his place. Attendance, 1370. Score: H. E.

Gardner forced the fighting in the tenth, Walcott backing up. Walcott was the aggressor in _the eleventh and tried hard to land a left swing to head. Waleott kept boring in in the twelfth. Both slipped down in a_wrestling match. ; Walcott staggered Gardner in the thir- teenth, but the latter was able to protect himeelf from. further damage., Gardner was far from happy in the fourteenth, taking some severe punishment. In the firtteenth Walcott ~roughed it and tried Gardner's favorité kidney punch..

Gardner pushed Walcott through the ropes in the seven- teenth. No.damage. Gardner rushed him to the ropes again in the eighteenth, but did no damage. Just before the gong sounded in the nineteenth Walcott had Gardner in jeop- ardy, plugging him in the body with both hands. He could not place a finishing blow before the bell sent the men to their corners.” The twentieth was the fastest round of the fight, each man trying desperately to get a decisive lead. The crowd was cheer- ing wildly when the fight ended. Referee Welsh at once pointed to Walcott as the winner, The attendance was one of the largest ever attracted to a fight here. Preliminary Bouts. George Curran and Bobby Martin began the fistic festivities. For elght rounds Martin found Curran with evident ease, but had no force in his blows. At the end of the ninth round, after & mix-up, Curran caught Martin on the jaw, knocking him down. The bell saved Martin. The tenth was a give-and-take affair, both men fighting hard, but with- out any show of cleverness. Referee ‘Welsh_gave Martin the decision. The second preliminary brought to- gether Dave Barry and Jack McDonald, two heavily muscled hard hitting middle- welghts. McDonald seemed the stronger in the first two rounds, but in the third Barry jolted a left hander on the former’s chin_ that staggered him. Then they fought on with ice-wagon speed, round after round, thumping away without re- sult. The decision declaring & draw was favorably recelved. O’Rourke Quits Walcott. Tom_ O'Rourke_ declares he is through with Walcott. He made this assertion last night after the fight. He asserts that the colored fighter has not used him right ‘in financial matters, and that he washes his hands of him henceforth. BAY CITY WHEELMEN ELECT NEW OFFICERS Club Is in as I’rospe_r;us a Condition as It Has Ever Been Since Its Organization. The annual election of the Bay City ‘Wheelmen, held last Monday evening, re- sulted in the selection of the following officers: President, Henry L. Day; vice resident, Austin Kanzee; treasurer, rank Smith; secretary, Robert Reld; captain, Frank Bollo. These, with the ad- dition of Herbert W. Welch, Harry Lar- kin, George Stanbengerber, Ben C. Ray- naud, George P. Caldwell, Louis Bannan and . C. Rambo, will constitute the board of directors. Captain Bollo has appointed Emil Lan- guetin and TFrank Marisch his first and second lieutenants . respectively. The: club is in as prosperous a condition as it has ever been since its organization seventeen years ago. The past year under President Frank Smith has been particu- larly successful, and President Day takes charge with a clear balance sheet and a large membership roll. Owing to the re- cent dissolution of the Olympic Wheelmen many of its members have applied to the Bay Citys for membership and are now being voted upon. v Over one hundred of the Bay Citys at- tended the annual run last Sunday to Mission San Jose as guests of their fe]- low-members, the Salazar brothers. Of this number only eight went by train, the others all riding their wheels. The club has a strong team entered for the annual twenty-mile race to be held at San Lean- dro next Sunday.

Oakland In a game replete with loud talk and kicking on the part of the players aund plenty of noise in the shape of hissing and cheering from the stands and bleachers Morley's reorganized Angels triumphed | over Uncle Henry's Germans yesterday The fun began in the initial roupd, when ‘‘Chimmie der Whale” displayed his bad taste:by doubt- ing “Pop” Hardie's word and was put out of the game in addition to being fined a five spot. The trouble continued during the ensuing eight innings of slow ball. The locals hit harder, but, made so many errors they threw. the game away. The Redlegs sent two of their members across the plate in the fifth, Kelly got four bad ones, took the middle sack on Sples’ eacrifice, and came home on Reltz's drive, which caught Dougherty at second. In this play Schwartz made a wild throw over Pabst's head and allowed McPartlin, who had previously been walked and ad- vanced like Kelly, to score. During all | this mix-up not a hit was made off Krug, | bases on balls and errors being responsi- ble for all the damage. Atherton and Householder made the cir- | cuit for the Angels during the eighth. | The big fielder led off with a clean sin- | gle, went to third on Householder's dou- | ble’ and trotted home ‘on Krug's wild | pitch, Householder . going to third and scoring on Kelly's out to second. { The Germans' side of the score was | blank until _the last half of the ninth round, when Pabst scored on hits by him- self and Krug. It began to look like an old-time Baltimore finish, as Shay fol- lowed with a hit, but a great double play by Reitz and Kihm put Shay and Brockoff out. Then:Norayke fouled to Sples and it was all over but the shouting. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. B.

It looked like a three- base hit, but the big blonde-haired flelder “icopped”” it. ~Atherton lacks the grace of a fawn in his movements, but when it comes to running after hard files, he is “it."” Householder secured two out of the four hits made by the Redlegs yesterday. Eddfe is still the leading batsman of his team. Pabst made a great run to the first base bleachers and caught a foul. He was loudly applauded, as it was one of the hardest foul catches made this season. McPartlin has a great slow ball and he can put some puzzling curves inta it. Tlis control is good and he is hard to rattle. o game vesterday was the first that Krug has lost since he blossomed out as a pltcher. He has certainly played in great luck all along. “Josh'* Reilly got even yesterday. In last Saturday’s game Dunleavy blocked him at third, o ‘vesterday he gave Kelly the shoulder and the little man dropped. To all appearances he was knocked out, but managed to recover in time to score a run. Hemphill injured himself in the third inning yesterday, and big Atherton was put in his Place In left fleld, Charley Graham was in uniform on the bench, but did not play. His hand is entlrely healed. He will be kept in reserv ROWDYISM ON THE DIAMOND. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 27.—A dull, list- less game was enlivened by two scraps to-day. Flood, while protesting a decision of the umpire, landed a right swing on Levy's jaw, and was put out of the game for so doing. Flood says that Levy called him a vile name ahd Levy denies doing so. Later in the game Levy and Stricklett collided. Levy struck at-Stricklett and the latter tore the umpire’'s shirt collar off. Courtney was badly spiked, acci- dentally, in the foot by Mohler. The game was won by the Senators by a score of 14 to 7. Schmidt, who pitched for Oakland, was hit hard, the Senators getting sixteen hits, including doubles by Devereaux, Stricklett, Hoffer and a homs run by Doyle. Stricklett was found for seven hits up to the ninth inning; then, as the game was won, he lobbed the sphere over and allowed four more hits. At the end of the game Lohman protested on the ground that the umpire ordered Stricklett out of the game and then al- lowed him to continue playing. Umpire Levy denies having ordered Stricklett out of the game. Score: _ OAKLAND. AB. R. BH. §B. PO. A. 3 0 18 B, Mohler, 2b Hanlon, 1b Streib, Tf Eagan, s .

The game will be the first in which the teams shall have playved this season. | California has considerable advantage over its opponent in the matter of prac- tice. The college men have been at work longer and ought to be in better physical condition, and again they have had many more practice line-ups against an oppos- ing team than their rivals. Each even- ing for some days past they have played against the second eleven. Reliance should have better team work, as the Berkeley men have spent much of their time trying out for positions during past practice.

STANFORD, Sept. 27.—Stanford will | meet the picked team from the Olymple | Club on the campus gridiron to-morrow afternoon. Not much is known of the Olympic line-up, so the comparative strength of the two elevens is purely a matter of conjecture. The game should, however, be taken by the cardinal, as it | has the advantage of longer practice and practically the same in personnel as the 1900 varsity, with the substitution of a few of the best second eleven men of last rear. Practice to have acquired anything like good form or perfect team work. The in- dividuals composing the team are, never- theless, former college stars for the most part, and men who know the game. Captain_ Fisher, when seen this after- noon, said that the Stanford team should win easily, owing to the present unorgan- 1zed condition of the club team. Several second eleven men, he says, will be put into the game in the second half so as | to give as many of the men as possible a chance. Fisher expects to line up in his position at left half for the first ume to- morrow, provided a shoulder protector which he has sent for arrives. He has not been in the scrimmage work up to date for fear of again injuring his shoul- der, which was badly hurt last season. The line-up at the beginning of the first half wilk be: Boren, left end; Traeger, left tackle; Thompson, left guard; Hauver- man, center; Barnheisel, right guard; Mc- Fadden, right tackle; Cooper, right end; Raitt, quarter; Fisher, left half; Slaker, full; Smith or Hill, right half. In the sec- ond half Parker and Allen, backs, Kuhn, end, and several others will be substi- tuted. Considering the comparatively few weeks of practice the cardinal team is making a remarkably good showing. Slaker, at full, hits the line like a steam engine and is good for his distance on every buck. Raitt, at quarter, runs through a scattered fleld in the same way The clubmen have had too little | that won *“Chet™ Mur]xhy his reputation.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY Sept. 27.— The first accident of the football season, and one that may result seriously, oc- curred in last night's practice, when Quarterback Raitt of the varsity eleven and Rightend Bayard E. Nourse of the second met in a head-on collision. Raitt | was running low with the ball, When Nourse attempted to tuckle him. Nourse jumped too high and “heir heads struck with such force as to be heard several yards away. Both were stunned by the shock and Nourse had to be carried from | the fleld. | . Raitt recovered at onze, but Nourse has been confined to his bed under the care of Dr. Stillman of Lane Hoepital and Dr. Wilbur, the resident physician. The physicians say that everything seems fa- vorable for an early recovery. Nourse is a brother of ex-Treasurer John T.
