Williams Jr. said his club had prom- ach, nor could he go the route in that direction. Jim received a number of visitors yes- terday. The first thing he did was to in- vite them into his “‘menagerie.” He calls his sleeping apartment such because of the firearms, cartridges and other sport- ing paraphernalia that litter the room. Having shown them his guns he laugh- ingly told of his experiences while out shooting. ' Jim is an interesting talker, He narrated the story of the coon hunt pense of his good-natured sparring part- ner, Bob Armstrong. In the Handball Court. Jeffries still taboos boxing. He fs not taking any chances with his right arm. He strained it while playing baseball at Catall Island a few months ago. It is g ly losing its soreness. He punches vith incredible speed, skips the vs and plays handball. Yesterday an exhibition of his prowess at His speed in the handbail 3 was remarkable. Corbett certainly played a fast game and Jeffries is not far behind. him when he warmed up to his He played handball with The correspondent and beat him three straight games. The contest was highly exciting and the spectators enjoyed the big_fellow’s fast foot work. Jim is strong and rugged. The month’s stay in_this vicinity has done him a world of good. The tramps he has taken over the mountains have benefited his wind and added strength to his underpinning. He believes this is one of the best places in the country for a man to gain strength. Corbett was the first boxer to train at Harbin. The Hayes Valley boxer trained here for his memorabie barge fight with - Choynski. While up here Corbett made a record climbing the steep moun- tain in front of the hotel that stood for many years. Jeffries believes in hill- | climbing, but, like a wise man, does not risk his neck breaking records. “I have been asked time and again how | I am going to fight Ruhlin,” Jeffries said. | “The question cannot be answered at this ime. It will depend wholly upon my op- ponent. If he stands up and gives blow | for blow there will be a merry time in store for him and the spectators will see ome real fighting. If, however, Ruhlin | hould run away 1 will simply stand and gh at him. It would be a waste of time | chase him around the ring. We are, I wil | 20 to the center and will not break | ground. I have never done so and actu- ally don’t know how to retreat.” Jim was in a happy mood last night. | With brother Jack and a few others he tied a_cow bell under Bob Armstrong’s bed, and when the big colored boxer was | dreaming of chickens Jeff gave the string | a couple of jerks.

Watershed, the winner of the Cambridgeshire stakes yesterday, for which Mr. Whitney paid £200 when J. B. Haggin, the Californian, sold a batch of yearlings here, brought £2600. Holstein was sold for £2200, Convamore for £910, the Shibboleth, filly for £500, De Lacy for £400 and Luke Ward for £430.

This action will no doubt pleas¢ horsemen, for they seem a unit_in declaring against the flag. Mr. Jerry Driscoll, representing Rainey & Driscoll, came before the board and sald that because of the fact that the stockholders, with the consent of the board of directors, had decided to charge an admission fee to the track of $1 50 for men and $§1 for women, the firm desired to withdraw its bid for the privilege of the field books. The withqrawal was ac- cepted, and the fleld k privilege is therefore now open to the highest bidder. Joseph A. Murphy, accompanied by his family, arrived from St. Louis yes(erdnfv and registered at the Occidental Hotel. The Mound City ‘racing official will, as usual, fill the position of presiding judge at Oakland to-morrow. e reports that Dan Honig recently purchased a couple of horses and would undoubtedly make the California trip.

Jake favors the recall fla\F but said ““All right, if the public don’t like it give them what they do like.”” Mrs. Holtman accompanies her husband. E. T. Martin, who booked successfully at Harlem and the other Western tracks, is due here to-night. Henry Frolich and some other turf talent are also due. Jack Willis is among the recent turf ar- rivals.

L3 o THE AKRON GIANT, CHAL- LENGER FOR BOXING CHAM- PIONSHIP OF THE WORLD. L3 DUKELOW PUTS HAWLEY AWAY Exciting Bouts at Hayes Valley Club. CLEL o The monthly exhibition of the Hayes Valley Athletic Club was held last night in Mechanics’ Pavillon annex. Con Shee- han, George Green's newly discovered light heavy-weight, and ‘Ed Smith, Bay City Athletic Club, were programmed to furnish one of the main events of the evening. After a hugging match that lasted about half a round Smith's jaw collided with Sheehan’s left hand and he went to the canvas and was counted out. J. J. Dukelow, champion welter-weight of America, and Charles Hawley, Bay City Athletic Club, were also down on .he bill as another main event, but Dukelow robbed the bout of interest by landing a terrific right swing in the first round which sent Hawley to the floor in a heap. He took the count and stumbled to his feet only to be knocked down again. Dukelow went right to his opponent, knocking him down flve or six times. In the second round Dukelow drew Hawley out with a feint and then sent a trip- hammer right to his short ribs. Hawley went to the feathers for keeps and was counted out. Billy Ingnam and _Harry Bowers weighed in at 160 pounds and furnished the most exciting bout of the evening. When the gong brought them to the cen- ter of the ring they went to work with a vim. Bowers caught Ingham with a right jolt on the jaw and for a moment it seemed all over but the shouting. Ing- ham managed to last the round by clinch- ing. and at the close landed a swing cn Bowers' jaw that put him on his haunches. " In the second round Ingham’s head cleared and he did some fast fight- ing. Bowers met his onslaughts with right and left counters, but Ingham man- aged to land a left hook on his oppo- nent’s jaw_which ended the bout. Barney Driscoll and Mart_Attel, two 106 pounders, boxed a draw. Robby John- son and Pete Carroll, also 105 pounders, put up a clever exhibition for four rounds, at the end of which Johnson was declare the winner. Jack Mitchell, secured the decision over Mickey Welch at the end of four rounds. Each weighed 112 pounds. Fred Bell and Jack Crowe went at each other in a harmless way. The bout was called a draw. “Jimmie” McDevitt refereed the contest, while “Doc” Flynn judged. —_———————— PRESIDENT E. P.

In less than three hours over seven hundred tickets had been' sold, realizing about $1500 in cash. Students lined up before the office at least an hour apd a half before the sale began in order to get first choice of seats. Many of them purchased the limit of twenty tickets in order to get de- sirable seats for frienas unable to come to the office early in the afternoon. The remainder of the tickets will be sold at the university bookstore, and indications are pointing to an exceedingly large sale. Bert Oliver is said to be the choice of the majority of the college coaches and officials for the exacting position of rei- eree at the intercollegiate football gane. Coach Fickert of Stanford is, it is claimed, the only one holding out against his selection. Oliver has proved the best official seen here this season. He under- stands the game thoroughly and insists on everybody on the fleld playing fairly. He has allowed no side.line coaching. Tickets for the game will be placed on sale in this city to-morrow at noon at Clabrough, Golcher & Co.’s and H. Skin- ner’s. ’ The Reliance and Olympic Athletic Clvb teams have let up in their training. They will resume practice again at once if a match game is arranged between them. ————— ON EASTERN TRACKS.

Time, 1 and the talk instantly centered upon Jef- fries and the coming fight. “If you went at it the other night over in Oakland as cautiously as you did when | you fought me out here,” said Ruhlin, “I| think you would have stayed the limit.” Kennedy laughed and replied, ‘“Well, Gus, I hope you do better than I did, but when I went into that ring with Jeftries I had no intention of simply trying to stay the limit. There was a chance for me to secure the heavyweight title and I went right to my quarry to win.” “l have seen Jeffries in a great many of his fights, Joe,” put in Ruhlin, “but the best showing I ever saw him make was with you the other night. He fought faster and cleverer than ever I saw him before and the battle gave me a line on several things that are going to help me a great deal in this fight.” Kennedy. and Ruhlin talked seriously in this strain for several minutes and then commenced to joke one another about the time Joe gained the decision over Gus in a twenty-round contest at Woodward's Pa- vilion. While Charlie Goff was rubbing Ruhlin_down after his afternoon * Y work Kennedy commented upon Ruhlin's fine appearance. Joe admitted that Ruh- lin looked fully twenty pounds heavier than he did when he boxed him. Some Fun With Jeff’s Picture. In Ruhiin’s trgining quarters there is a large sized lithograph of Jeffries. Ruhlin takes a look at it now and again and then turns loose some of his ready wit. While sparring around the room at an imaginary foe Gus often stops in front of the pic- ture and feints and fiddles in a way which gives rise to all sorts of expressions from the spectators. The picture is directly be- tween Rublin's big made-to-order punch- @il el el SENATORS WIN A GAME CLEVERLY hand rip go toward Jeff's picture and then ulled it back just in time to save his mitt rom Injury on the thick wall. “If it was only as soft as that,” laughed Gus as he turned his eyes, which were shining with an amused light, toward the lithograph. Predicts a New Champion. AL “You can say for me that there will be a new champion after we get together.” said Ruhlin as he stepped into his clothes after his rub. “I feel more confldent of winning than I ever did in any of my fights. I don’t know why this is so, but I really feel as if I am going to give him the same medicine I gave Sharkey. [ won't even give him a look-in if ever it starts to come my way.” Ruhlin is one of those fighters who can take a beating when the tide of battle is ebbing against him, and on the other Land when it comes his way he generaily fights his man as near to the floor a3 the referee will let him. Gus is_a believer in noveities in_ train- ing. Unlike the large percentage of figh*- ers who train according te strict rules, he has methods of his own. Instead of doing his road work all muffled up with extra sweaters and cumbersome clothes, Gus takes to the road clad in a woelen suit and a light sweater. In the gymna- sfum he works out in a small breech- cloth. He believes the body should be lightly clad on all occasions to allow the free flow of perspiration. laps to take the pic- ublin said his mana- ger, Billy Madden, would do whatever he thought best in the matter. “Personally, I have no objection to_ fighting before a camera,” he sald. “If it IS bad for me it will be equally bad for Jeffries.” Madden was in town all day arranging matters pertaining to the proposed plan of taking pictures of the fight. L Speaking of the tures of the fight, FROM UNCLE'S BASEBALL STARS The baseball enthuslasts so fortunate as to be present at Recreation Park yester- day saw one of tie greatest games of the year, incorporated with which were a number of plays not often seen here. The game was won in the tenth inning by Sacramento by a score of 2 to L ‘Whalen pitched for Uncle Henry's men and was unusually wild, sending eight raen to fifst on passes. This did not Have any bearing on the outcome of the game, as none of the men scored. The Wasps scored their first and only run in the fourth. Hildebrand bunted to Fitcher Do who threw wild to first, serding_“‘HiMe” to second and then to third. 'Pabst hit a hot one to Devereaux, u_tecovered the ball in time to tw):p hzltgl"mart first. Hildebrand scored on the play. Stanley was the first Senator to make a circuit of the bases. He hit to “Jimmy ‘WrEalen, who fumbled the ball, letting him reach firét in safety. He went to second on a passed ball and scored on Sheehan’s hit over second, on which the batter made second. With two out and the bases full Hoffer flew out, retiring the side. The winning run was scored in the last half of the temth. Davis, the first man up, sent the ball out to the left field fence for two bags. McLaughlin hit to Whalen, wE6 threw wild to third to head off Dav! The Senator raced home with the Wil ning run. In the seventh Sheehan hit safely, the ball relling between *“‘Josh” Reilly's legs. He stole second and third and started home on Courtney’s hit. Flood, who was coaching at third, ran_in ahead of him to rattle the catcher. Flood crossed the plate and Sheehan was called “out” be- cause of the coacher’'s interference. Coachers have often run part way home, but it is a long time since any one went to the-extreme which Flood did. In the ninth inning your Uncle Henry Harris showed how well up he is on technical baseball. With one man on base and two out Courtney, the star batter of the Teague, was up. A hit meant a run and the game. Harris told Whalen to piteh to the first baseman instead of tak- ing a chance with Courtney. This resulted in giving the Senator a pass to first. Hoffer forced him out at second, retiring the side. The score: SAN FRANCISCO, AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. E.
