The occasion was ladies’ night, The programme was all good, but the ladles were particularly interested in the boxing bout between J. E. Britt and W. J. Leonard. It was a clever imitation of a fight. The fencing between Professor Louis Tronchet and E. Ortion drew ap- plause frequently from the spectators. The Japanese wrestling by K. and fwo pupils 00k the breath mie from the ladles as well as from the pupils, Major Robert Reed’s feats of swords. manship were thrilling. He placed a po- tato on the bare neck of G. L. Woolrich and cut the potato in half with a siash from a keen-edged sword. The blade could be heard distinctly cutting its way through the potato. —_———— Stanford May Play Michigan. PASADENA, Oct. 30.—President James Wagner of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association is arranging a football game between Stanford and Michigan universities for New Year's day. The Stanford manager has replied that the Gate is oven, and Michigan expects to “cme hew ARBIN SPRINGS, Oct. 30.—From this time forward Jeffries will cut out heavy road-work and de- vote his time to attaining speed. He will no longer punch. the bag for hours nor do other feats of endurance, but will save his strength for the night of battle. In future he will bex faster, take shorter sprints and other work that will make him faster on his feet and with his hands. He inaugurated this system vesterday and as a result he was not fatigued at the close of his day’s work. The way he moved around the gvmnasium reminded one of Corbett or some equally fast boxer. He started in his day’s training at 10 o'clock. For ten minutes he rowed at the rate of thirty strokes a minute, after which he donneé small gloves and had a seance with che bag. The rat-a-tat sounded like distant thunder. He worked fast and perspired freely. As a fitting finish to this popu- lar form of exercise he .rained hea left and right swings on the inflated rub- ber. Onlookers thought he would burst the bag with his tremendous blows, but it withstood the walloping. After a few minvtes’ rest Jeff skipped the rope. He pirouetted around 'the gymnasium and danced jigs, seldom interfering with (he whirling e. He reeled off 1180 skips without turning a hair and when he fin- iched informed his trainers that he wes perfectly satisfied with the condition of his wind. He breathed freely and with- out effort. He then had brother Jack toss the medi- cine ball with him. This immense spherold welghs about twenty pounds and when the champion hurls it the ball cuts through space like cannon-ball. Young Jeffries is no child in strength. He weighs. 1% pounds and like his elder brother has strength and endur- ance, but he could hardly stop the ball sent him by Jim. Jack would brace him- self and stiffen his body, but the force would send him back a trifle each time. This work was continued for some time and the champion stopped when he saw that Jack was losing buttons and felt weary. The work Jeffries did up to this time would -have tired an ordinary man, but as Jim is out of the ordinary,” he picked up light dumbbells and side-stepped and danced around the gymnastum fighting an imaginary opponent. Once in a while he would follow a feint with a swing which would have annihilated an antag- onist if it had landed upon him. A brisk rub down and then Juncheon concluded half a day’s work. Jeffries Is Tireless. Jeffries has not used alcoholic sub- stances in rubbing down. He belleves in being briskly rubbed with coarse towels until his skin is pink and then stepping under a cold shower. This sends the blood tingling througk his body and makes him i MERIGANS WIN AT NEWNARKET Whitney’s Watershed a Surprise in the Cam- bridgeshire. LONDON, Oct. 30.—There was a big at- tendance at the second day’s racing of the Newmarket Houghton meeting to witness the contest for the Cambridgeshire Stakes, the principal event of the meet- ing. The result was a tremendous upset for the betting men. W. C. Whitney’s Watershed, the winner of the race, rid- den by Johnnie Reiff, was considered to be a rank outsider and started at 25 to 1 against Lord Wolverton's Osboch, which was second at the finish, was the favorite at 100 to 14 against. The betting on C. W. Wood's Lascaris, third horse, was 10 to 1 against, Codoman, ridden by Maher was greatly fancied in France, but did not flatter his supporters. M. Ephrussi, Codoman’s owner; s said to have backed the horse to win $40,000. . ‘Watershed won by a neck after an ex- citing finish. . The American horse re- mained in the rear until the bushes were passed, when he took up the running, fol- lowed by Lascaris and Osboch. The lat- ter drew up inch by inch, but little Reiff drove his mount in great style and landed him first. Three-quarters of a length sepafated the second and third horses. Twenty-three horses ran. The distance was one mile and 237 yards. Mr. Whitney's Spectrum and J. R. Keene's Chacornac were the only starters in the subscription stakes, distance one mile. Spectrum, ridden by J. Relff, won. Pax (Maher) won the Wednesday wel- ter bandicap, distance one mile and a half. L. C. Dyer's Lady McDonald (Jenkins) won the New Jersey Plate, distance five furlongs. The American won five of the seven races. Roeber Will Wrestle the Turk. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—FErnest Roeber to-day accepted Mehemet Neohad's chal- lenge for a wrestling match.

In the afternoon he played ball with the ladies and guests of the hotel. He en- tered into the game with full spirit and enjoyed the sport. The ball was a mushy affair used for playing indoors, but when the: champion swung his bat on fit, it sailed far out of reach. It was thought by this time Jeff had finished his day’s work, and Brother Jack and Bob Armstrong counted upon spend- ing the balance of the day loll- ing around the hotel, but Jeff disappointed them by announcing that he intended taking a fifteen-mile jaunt over .the mountains. He in- vited various neople to accompany him, but as he set A terrific pace his nvitation was declined. Jeff then donned heavy clothes and started out by himself. He returned in three hours covered with per- spiration and delighted with his long run. He ate a hearty supper and retired early. It is early to bed and early to rise at the training quarters. The day is a busy one for everybody. What with practical jokes and excitement, the time passes quickly and no one has a desire to feturn to the city. A Talisman for the Ring. Jeff received two letters to-day that made him feel happy. One was from his lawyer, who announced that he had com- promise@ an oll case in which the big fel- low was interested, and Jeff’s bank ac- count would soon be enlarged. The other letter was from Sam Thall, the well- known theatrical manager and director of the Alcazar Theater, Ban Francisco. ‘Sam informed Jeff +hat he would loan him his mascot when he came to the city. Jeff instantly understood this to mean that Thall would hand him a silver cuff-button CALIF EVADA'S game and shifty foot- ball players went down in defeat yesterday on the Berkeley cam- pus before -California’s stalwart eleven. Two touchdowns and two goals were scored against them—I12 points to 0 for Nevada—but the game was not withgut glory for the visitors, and players and the little contingent of loyal support- ers left the field happy though defeated. There were good reasons for Nevada's joy. To begin with, in the first half the visitors fairly outplayed the ' California team. They had the ball much of the time and were able ta gain many yards by line bucks and end plays, and Cali- fornia found their line almost invincible and could not run their ends because their tackles got through and spoiled the plays. Only in the second half, ‘when they be- came worn down by their hard, aggressive work, was California able, by spectacular end-running, to score. By comparison with last year’s game, the Nevada men feel that they have every reason to be proud of their achievement. In that game Cglifornia defeated them 32 t0 0, and in the entire contest Nevada was able to advance the ball but thirteen yards on line bucks and end runs. The team has made a great jump to the front and can make if interesting for the best of the coast elevens. The game, like most of the contests this year, was full of spectacular plays. Cali- fornia’s victory was due to sensational end running by Whipple, Womble and Mini, good punting by Overall and bril- liant running in of punts by Johnny More, who played at fullback in Duden’s place. ‘Whipple Makes a Great Run. The first touchdown was made two and a half minutes after the whistle blew for play in the second half by Whipple after a magnificent run of 59 yards behind the interference of Albertson and Overall. It was the first consolation the California partisans had had, but it was sufficlent to bring them all to their feet for several minutes of wild cheering. Overall kicked the goal without difficulty. Late in the half California advanced the ball to with- in half a yard of goal, and on the next down Whipple carried the pigskin over the line, but a touchdown was not al- Jowed and the ball was taken back ten yards, both.Overall and Stroud having been off side. From the 10-yard line Over- all trled a place kick for fleld goal, but big Cassius Smith got through and blocked the ball. . A gocd run-in of ten yards by More of 1 a punt to the center of the field, ten yards a | ball.

Jeff iz not at all superstitious, but to please his friend has worn the button in all his fights, with the result that it has proved a talisman. This button Jeffries sald was an ordi- nary coin affair with “S. T.”, Thall's in- itials, on it. This he sald stood for “sure thing.” The champion told how it was worn by Corbett when he fought Sulll- van and won the championship and later worn by Jim when he defeated Mitchell. Thall, he said, could not hand it to Jim when he fought Fitzsimmons at Carson and the Hayes Valley boxer was defeat- ed. Jeff sald he wore the button in his belt the nights he defeated Sharkey, Fitzsimmons, Corbett .and would please Thall by wearing ft when ‘he met Ruh- lin. Jeff said he would win whether he had the button or not, as he would enter the arena in the best of condition and ready to put up the fight of his life. Strained Muscle Heals Rapidly. Jeff has not boxed for the past three days as he strained a muscle of his right arm upon Bob Armstrong’s hard head. The soreness has disappeared and he will probably take up the gloves to-morrow. He means to make his oppcnents work faster and will keep them on the jump from now until a few days before the fight. Jeffries learned to-day that his oppo- nent had injured his hand. He said he hoped the injury was a slight one, as he dcoes not want to disappoint the public. He is taking great care of himself. He had a slight accldent a few days ago. While boxing with his brother Jack he was butted in the mouth and his lip swelled considerably. The swelling is re- for an off-side play by Nevada, several bucks on tackle for short gains and an end run of twenty-three yards by Womble placed the ball two yards from the goal line. Mini gained a yard by a criss- cross on tackle and then went over for a touchdown on a straight buck against tackle. Overall again kicked the goal, making the score 12 to 0. Johnny More, playing fullback, did bril- Hant work in running in Nevada’'s punts. One 38-yard galn, another of 34 yards and several of 10 yards made in the total an important factor in California’s game. The Nevada ends got down the fleld well, driv- ing More in, but the other linemen failed 1o be there to do the tackling and More ‘was allowed to get under headway behind 800d interference for long runs up the center of the field. At the beginning of play in the first half Stowe kicked off for California 45 yards and Graham ran the ball in five yards. Nevada at once began hammering the tackles for three and four yard.gains, varying this by an occasional try at end, Keddie once going around Womble for a four-yard gain. After advancing the ball 30 yards without a pause Nevada lost the pigskin on downs, Riordan failing to make the distance through Braler at tackle. Fumbles Are Numerous. Whipple fumbled the first pass and a Nevada man fell on the ball on the 50- vard line. Then Graham fumbled the first Pass and California got the ball. Mini, Whipple and Overall made galns aggre- gating 10 yards, and then the ball was lost on a fumble again. Nevada carried the ball 32 yards to the 72-yard line on bucks by Graham, Keddie, Smith, Dripps and Riordan, and then lost the ball on, downs. | Mini was thrown back 2 yards by Hun- ter. Overall punted poorly for a 20-yard gain. Graham punted 2 yards. Califor- nia’s ball on the 38-yard line. Two downs netted but 2 vards, and Overall punted for 40 yards to the 80-yard line. Nevada fumbled on the second down and ' was forced to punt. Mini ran. the ball-in 2% yards to the 80-yard line. Then Califor- nia fumbled and Nevada got the ball. —p duced and he is experiencing no bother from it. Last night after finishing a fifteen-mile ‘run he felt as frisky as a young colt. Instead of retiring early he sat on the piazza of the hotel laughing over his experiences as a boller-maker, which he narrated to a crowd of inter- ested listeners. He could hardly sit still Every ten minutes he would sprint up and down the stretch of road in front of the hostelry and romp with dogs that always crowd around him. WHY RUHLIN SHOULD WIN. Akron Giant Furnishes What He Con- siders a Good Reason. If Champlon Jim Jeffries defeats Gus Ruhlin he will have broken a peculiar pre- cedent which has been noted all through the big Akron fighting man’s record. Given a second chance, Gus has never failed to put away an antagonist who beat him the first time. There is something behind this peculiar performance of Ruh- lin. It may be that going into the ring with a precise knoweldge of how hard the other fellow can punch and how fast a pace he can cut out helps the Akron fighter. Certain it is, however, in Ruh- ln’s case, that defeat teacHes him the road to future victory. Whether or not this will prove true in his coming mill with Jeffries-remains to be seen. Ruhlin lost to Yank Kenny some years ago at North Baltimore in sixteen rounds. He was not entirely out, but was beaten so badly that the police stopped the fight. He met Kenny in Hartford some time after and took him into camp in six rounds. Ruhlin fought Joe Goddard six rounds to no decision in Philadelphia and L o S S 2 S B2 S e e e il ORNIA DEFEATS NEVADA'S TEAM_IN A SNAPPY GAME ON THE BERKELEY CAMPUS Visitors Display Surprising Strength, but in the Second Half the Home Team Scores Twice by Brilliant Runs and Clever Team Wark. PLUCKY FOOTBALL when time was called with the ball on California’s 70-yard line. In the second half, Keddle kicked off for 45 yards, More running it in 20 yards. After two line bucks and an exchange of punts, California had the ball, 3 yards from the center in California’s territory. Mini lost a'yard. Then it was that Whip- ple’s great run with the equally great interference of Overall and Albertson won California’s first touchdown. For the re- mainder of the game, California’s better condition, shiftier playing, better punting and running-in of punts, and better in- terference on end runs, made its play clearly superior. Except for an occasional lapse, the Nevada line was strong, fully equal to California’s. Just at the end of the half Sherman went in at half in Mini’s place, and he was given the ball in hope that he might skirt the end for a touchdown. Big Rior- dan, however, was through the line after him and caught him back of the line for a loss. The game ended with the bail in California’s possession in the -center of the field. Captain Leadbetter Injured. “Cleve” Leadbetter, Nevada's plucky captain, had a rib fractured late in the second half, before California’s second touchdown. It is feared he will not be able to play in the game Saturday with Stanford on the Stanford campus. After the game Nevada's coach, A. C. |Steckle, Michigan's famous right tackle of '98 and '99, captain of the team in the latter year, and assigned to a place in the *“All-America team’ of '98, expressed himself as well pleased with the showing made by his team, considering that it represents a student body of but 125 men. He complained that California’s runners held to the belts of men in the interfer- ence, in violation of the rules, and also that the time-keepers, both California men, lengthened out the second half to give California a chance to score a third time. The line-up was as follows: California. Position. Starr.. ~E—R. Albertson. Graham punted 40 yards and Riordan downed More in his tracks, 2 yards from the center of the field. / Hudson fumbled and Nevada got the A buck for 2 vards, a loss of 2 yards by Keddle and a misunderstood sig- nal gave California the ball on downs. Then Womble made a 20-yard.run around | M end. Mini tried the other end, but failed to gain. . A second down netted-1 yard, Everett Brown, California, was referee, and G. C. Collins, Nevada, was umpire. knocked him out subsequently before the Lenox Athlette Club in New York in five rounds. Sharkey knocked Gus out before the Copey Island Club in one round and in the same ring two years later Ruhlin beat Sharkey and knocked him out in fif- teen rounds. This performance only left one clean knockout against Ruhlin that has not been wiped out and this blot on Ruhlin’s fistic escutcheon was placed there by “Lanky Bob” Fitzsimmons, who has not as yet given Gus ar chance to “do better next time.” These are busy days down at Ruhlin’s training quarters at the Six-mile House. It has been a long while since Blanken's “gym” apparatus has been used so roughly, for Gus is a terror on everything in the training quarters from the boxing gloves to the nails in the floor. When he works he goes at it with a snap and vim that fairly shakes the building. Ruhlin has reconsidered his vow not to 'put on the gloves again before the big fight. Next Saturday night Gus will journey down to Redwood City, where he will box four friendly rounds with Joe McAuliffe, who is opening a gymnasium and boxing school there. Joe has been having a hard trial ot it for some years back. His old man- ager, Billy Madden, remembered the time when “My b'ye Joe”” was a money getter in the prize ring and when he heard Joe was .gaing to try to better himself in Redwood City he volunteered Ruhlin’s services. This will be the last time Ruh- lin will put on a glove until he steps into the ring with Jeffries. Ruhlin m: be said to be taking things practically as far as outdoor work is concerned. A daily spin from his quarters down to the Sierra Point House and back constitutes all his road work. After his rubdown Ruhlin lounges around the ver- anda with Denver Ed Martin and Charlie Goff until dinner time. In the afternoon he works out in the gymnasium. Ruhlin set an unusually fast clip there yester- day. He punched the bag with terrifie power and speed for ten rounds and then mauled “Denver Ed” all over the wrest- ling mat for five or ten minutes. It was one of the few fast spurts Ruhlin will indulge in from now until the time of the fifht. He welghs 200 pounds even, which is about siX or seven pounds more than he weighed when he knocked out Sharkey. Pictures Will Be Taken. The Edison Company will take kineto- scope pictures of the big fight. It was shown to the satisfaction of the boxers’ representatives that the light would not be produced with great heat and that the boxers would not be inconvenienced by it. ‘With this understanding all objections were withdrawn. A permanent record of the fight is thus assured. @ Hr i COLLECTOR HORY BEFORE THE BAR Indicted as the Leader of a Big Ring of Boodlers. In the judicial proceedings which cul- minated recently in the indictment of Customs Collector Hoey of the port of Nogales by the United States Grand Jury at Tucson, Ariz., David D. Jones, official interpreter of Chinese for United States District Attorney Marshall B. Woodworth, acted a prominent part. He was det;.ned by request of the United States Attorney General at Washington to proceed to Tuc- son and assist the officers of the Govern- ment as interpreter for the Chinese wit- nesses and in translating Chinese letters, etc., produced before the Grand Jury. For more than a year past Chinese have been landed at Guaymas, Mexico, then taken overland and passed across the line at Nogales into the United States. Thijs was in pursuance of a conspiracy, at the head of which was the Collector of Cus- toms, and the members of which were receiving large sums for landing Chinese from Mexico. The ring was exposed by a ND VITALITY PRINGETON MEN MAY GOME WEST Prospects Good for Great Football Game Christmas. Olympic Club Team Will Go to Honolulu to Play Oahu College. A definite proposal has come from Princeton for a Christmas game in San Francisco with the University of Cali- fornia team. The Berkeley men are will- ing provided they win in the big game November 9 with Stanford. If they lose it is probable a game between Stanford =nd Princeton will be arranged. The California management received a telegram yesterday from R. C. Gordon, the Princeton manager, asking that an offer of terms for a Christmas game be made. Maniger Decoto will wire an offer of half the net receints, with a guarantee of expenses, contingent upon California’s success in the game with Stanford. The cost of bringing the Princeton team out would be about $5000, but as this would be the first appearance on the coast of cne of the “Big Four” teams it is be- lHeved there would be no danger of finan- clal loss to the university guaranteeing expenses to the visiting team. The offer comes to California through the Influence of “King” Keliy, Califor- nia's old coach, who is head football coach for his alma mater this year. It is the first time that the manager of ona of the “Big Four” has asked for a defin- ite offer of terms. The Olympic Club team will go to Honolulu for a Christmas game with the Oahu College eleven. C. G. Balley, a University of California alumnus, who i3 athletic instructor in the college, has written to J. Muma, the Olympic Club football manager, giving him a guaran- tee of all expenses. The Olymplc players will sail some ten days prior to the date of the game. Recent Turf Arrivals. Arthir McKnight, the competent ass:st- ant starter of Jake Hoiltman, arrived from Chicago iast night. Holtman is due here to-night. Captain Forsee and M. McSherry of the Pinkerton detective agency dropped in from Chicago yesterday morning. Both are noted for the efficiency of their work on race courses and are general favorites with turfmen. F. Laudermann, a well-known veteran bookmaker, will be here in time to cut in on Saturday. Sam Shaen, who has been connected with the field books at the local tracks for several yea:s, has returned from Chi- cago, where he has been booking this summer for George Rose. He has had a successful season and will be seen at the Oakland track on opening day. ———— Rooters Plan Many Rallies. BERKELEY, Oct. 30.—The rooters of the University of California are prepar- ing for a series of football rallies to take place between now and the big game on November 5. The last and mest import- ant will be held on the evening before the game in Harmon gymnasium. It will be in the nature of a smoker and will be tor men students only. Several ‘promi- nent members of the alumni will speak, among them John R. Glascock, W. R. Davis and Frank Powers. On Friday af- ternoon and on the afternoon of Novem- ber 2 rallies will be held on the bleachers. On November 6 an ax rally will take place. The famous ax, which was taken from the Stanford rooters by Berkeley line rider named Webb. Webb was a cus- toms inspector, detailed by Collector Hoey to guard a portion of the frontler by pa- trolling it on horseback. He thought !t strange that he was never able to catch any, Chinese crossing the line and that cerfain points were kept out of his itin- erary. So one day he disobeyed orders and rode in a direetion -opposite to that which he had been ordered to take. He bagged seventeen Chinese attempting to get into the United States. Then the matter was taken up by the United States authorities. Secret Service Agent Dickle and United States District Attorney Me- Lamore of Texas were detailed to uproot the ring, which they succeeded In doing admirably. One of the chief conspirators and boodlers, Chinese Inspector Josey, blew out his brains when confronted with the evidences of his guilt. He had been a church leader and posed as a very re- ligious man. £ — Dates for Los Angeles Fiesta. * LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30.—The flesta committee met and decided, after some discussion, to name May 7, 8 and 9 as the official days for the fiesta celebration, in- cluding the flower parade and other features. . B - students two years ago, will be brought out by Football Captain Womble, the present custodian. ——— Reception to Football Men. BERKELEY, Oct. 2).—The Assoclated ‘Women Students’ reception to-night to the football men in Hearst Hall was one of the largest social functionggof the year. The guests were almost entirely from the student body, and they, with the football men, crowded the upper hall. In the lower rooms refreshments were served. John Eshleman introduced J. W. S. But- ler and Dr. K. C. Babcock, who made short humorous speeches. The choral so- clety and the banjo club rendered several selections, and at the close of the recep- tion an informal dance was held.

QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 30.—Sir Thomas Lipton, who arrived here to-day on board the White Star steamer Celtic from New York, says the report that the Sham- rock II was for sale in New York was quite untrue, as he intends racing her again in American waters next season. He reiterated his purpose to again chal- lenge for the America’s cup, and ex- pressed himself as being quite satisfied with ‘the manner in which the Sham- rock II had been sailed. Sir Thomas de- nied the report of disagreements with those who were on board the yacht, say- ing that at no time were his relations with those in charge of her in any way strained. 3 From Portland, Maine Portland, Oregon T L L L T T DIT PSR wr
