Some of General Tozer's support- ers say there is still a chance for him, but from the outlook to-night it is a contest | between Clark and Land, with the sur- f igns favoring the former. There is a tremendous silent vote, however, which makes both the candidates pause. The straight Republicans are saying that | Clark’s supporters have all announced themselves, and the silent vote will be found going to Land. A mint of money has been :Pent by the | candidates, and Clark's campalgners have not overlooked a single device to boom their candidate. _Colonel Wright, ths former Southern Pacific divizion superin- tendent, has persuaded many of the rafl- | road shopmen to support Land.

On Thursday ant Friday the big team will engage in signal | practice in order that there may be no mistakes or fumbles during the big gama.

Varsity Football Players Unable to Score Against the Scrub Team. BERKELEY, Nov. 4—The varsity falled to score against the second eleven this evening In & short but heavy practice game held on the campus. The ball was kicked off by the scrub team and its goal was never in any serious danger. Dark- ness hindered the work, as the game did not start until late. Several changes were tried in the var- sity line-up. Duden was shifted from full to center, a position he once played with success. Whipple was put in at full and Womble at right half. Hudson took Wom- ble's place at right end and More played quarter. ‘The changes were made for two purposes—as an experiment and as an emergency line-up. Suostitutes are so scarce that in case ot ! injury to u man—Gendottl at center, for instance—a serles of shifts would have to be made to get the best results. The sub- stitute list 1s so weak that several men haye been compelled to play two posi- tions. Womble has been piaying right | half and right end; More quarter and full; | | Hudson quarter and right end.

Jeffries Dreams That He Will Win in That Number and s Therefore Not Worried--—-Ruhlin Is in Superb Shape ARBIN SPRINGS, Nov. 4—Jet/| fries has been in a quandary ali day. A hermit told his fortunc yesterday and informed the champlon that he would be de- | feated in ten rounds, and Jim had a dream that he would win In the same number of rounds. He has so much con- fidence in himself that he believes the will come true. d‘:a:nmoh!erved the Sabbath by resting ir. his training.

On the return trip taey passed close to the hermit's abode anu Jeuries dismount- ea and jumped tife low fence surrounding the tumple-down awelling. ‘ihe hermit was at home, and, unlixe others ot his cailing, proved hospitable.

In No Hurry to Return. the time draws nearer for Jeftries tohfel\'- this place for the scene of his future struggle, it looks as if the cham- pion would postpone it until a few days pefore the nghnt. Bllly Delaney, whe is responsible for the big boxer's condition, is opposed to Jim going to the city next ¥ricay as he intends aoing. Delaney is afraid of the change of food and climate, but he even more afraid of the multi- tude of advisers, who are always willing to give gratuitous advice to & man train- ing for & contest. Delaney says one man is likely to tell Jim that his already su- perb condition would be Improved if he 100k hot baths right after meals; another might suggest that he partake of pate de fol gras at every meal and other fellows will give just as worthless ad- vice. The veteran trainer has a great deal of confidence In Jeffries’ wisdom and | fecls certain that he would laugh at any suggestion that did not come from his | handler, but he wants to avold all this nuisance by keeping the champion here until a few days before the contest. Jef- fries seems to take Delaney’'s view of the case and it is very probable that he will acquiese. Jeffries has received the gloves thut he will use<in his contest with Ruhlin. They are five ounce and are made of the best material. Sol Levison of S8an Francisco, who has fitted Jim with mitts for every battle he has had, sent two sets to the champion. They fit him to a nicety. Jeft Resumes Work To-Day. Delaney watched the hlf fellow in the ymnasium and was greatly pleased with gu condition. The champion showed wonderful speed at handball. He played three fast games and won them all. Jeff next donned the gloves with Armstrong and boxed four hot rounds. They did not do any love-tapping. Jeffries salleds into the big colored boxer and had the latter pinned to the wall in every round. Bob landed some stiit punches to let Jim know that he was in the game. Jef- fries, without taking rest, trled out brother Jack. He spared Jack's feelings and did nothing but block d side-step during the bout. Near the close he let Jack go at him hammer and tongs and it never bothered the champlon a particle. Champion in Fine Condition. Jeft seemed to be fresh and willing to do more work. He tossed the heavy med- icine ball with Armstrong, skipped the | rope, and then tried the rowing machine. | After a good rub-down he said he felt in | grand condition. He told Delaney that his wind was fine, and that he felt as strong as a bull. This statement was borne out by the amount of work he did without turning a hair. Armstroi is the hardest man In camp to awaken In the morning. The crowing of a fowl outside his window has no more effect on him than would the blowing of a trumpet.

But little money is being placed at present. Interest of the bettors seems to center about the contest for Mayor and other | municipal officers. No heavy plunging is being done on the big prizefight, but lo- cal representatives of the money risking class are awaiting the coming of the money that ix sald to be behind the Ak-| ron glant. It is said that the California sports are ready to back Jeffries with all kinds of money, provided they cash in as a result of the election. The fight guess- ers are still at sea, but will not risk their money until the last days of training. At the various poolrooms in the city the fight for the time being is exciting but little Interest. ' Both men are pretty well in shape. It is hoped that Jeffries | will come near the city for the last few days needed for his training, so that a line may be had on his condition. Jeftries, in this contest, has kept him- self away from all entanglements and has preferred the seclusion of a distant sum- mer resort Lo a place more accessible to | the sporting fraternity.

GULFPORT, Miss., Nov. 4—A negro, whose name has not yet been learned, was burned at the stake in Perry County, Mississippi, Saturday night. The crime for which the negro was burned was com- mitted early in the morning, and Mrs. Fortenbury was the victim. She was the wife of one cf the most prominent citizens in that community and was beaten into insensibility by the negro. After recover- ering consclousness and while almost too weak to move she began crying for help. When. assistance reached her she toid the story of the crime and described the negro. A posse was organized and the negro_answering the description given by Mrs. Fortenbury was caught a identi- fled by her. She stated positively that he was the man who had committed the crime.

WILLIAM S. FULLER ARRESTED IN SEATTLE | SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 4—Willlam S. Fuller, an alleged fugitive from justice, | was arrested on Occidental avenue to-day | by Detective Phiilips, on information from San Francisco, where he is wanted | for the alleged ropriation of money belonging to the Standard Ofl Company. Fuller was formerly a special agent of the company, and atter he wuas discharged a shortage of $309 is sald to have been dis- covered tn his accounts. The fact was reported by his empioyers to a bonding company which went his security, but be- fore the latter made any move for his apprehension Fuller left San Francisco for this city. He was taken before Justice Cann an committed under $1000 bonds to await ti arrival of an officer from San Francisco. Captain of Detectives Seymour says he knows nothing of Fuller. He has advised the officers at Seattle to hold him u; he can ascertain the facts about his . @ inimiisiiminivis - @ him to the strenuous life that he is lead- ing is a scheme ldflrlfll by Jeffries. The champion has rigged up a heavy cowbell, which he has wired beneath Bob's couch. Every mornlnLu 7 o'clock Jim pulls a rope and the bell clangs as loudly as a cathedral chime. Armstrong tried to foil Jeft yesterday morning by dropping the window down on the rope used to set the sleep-disturber in motion, but the champ- gave one strong pull and nearly dis- located the window sash.

SNWO0Ds (0 718 Market St. and Cor. Powell and Eddy. US RUHLIN is in better shape for the coming championship fight than he ever was for any battle for which he has trained during his long experience as a prizefighter. Favorable circumstances have combined to make the Akron fighter a marvelous specimen of the finely trained athlefe. His rapid strides into the cham- plonship class have given him an ambis tion and liking for his training and he has rounded into a veritable tower of strength. Then again Rublin is just at that age now when a man usually reaches the pinnacle of his physical greatness and every indication goes to strengthen the statement of his manager, Blily Madden, who says that Gus is now ready to make the supreme fistic effort of his life. Grad- ual training for a period of more than two in e D Sl e of s o s Brought Ruhlin to a stage where n6 will ;l:;n:rr win or lese on merits as a Bad condition or p! ical defection of any kind cannot be offered as an excuse it loses or give color to a statement that he could have the champion off in quickér time if he wins. From the tip of his toes to the top of his head Ruh- lin is as fine a physical specimen as he will ever be. -~ Ruhlin Believes Himself a Winner. Gus himself says he Is in so mueh finer fettle than ever he was before that he can actually feel the improvement in the merest trivialities of his preparatory work. And Gus honestly belleves that he will come cut of the mill with flying colors. . “Ever since I fought Jeffries in this cit: I have always felt that he was ome fei low in this business that I can trim, sald Ruhlin yesterday after his spin to the Sierra Point House. “You know when you once fight a man you ean easily judge whether you are his master or he vours. Of course, there are many thingsthat may break’ down this logte. ar as the fighter is con- cerned he has a weil «unned% one way or the other. into this battle to win and I can honestly say that I would sooner fight Jeffries than almost anybedy in our class. I'll wager that I am stronger and quicker and cleverer than Jeff. I think I can take him out on the road and run him to death or work him all out in the gymnasium and I'm going to try to show the people that [ can master him in the ring.” Billy Madden has kept a watchful eye on Ruhlin for a number of years, and he is ex y tickled over Ruhiin’s pre: ts of winning. Madden had not seen uhlin work for four-days until yester- day. He was in town nearly every day last week attending to the many details of tha big fight, and when he came back to (ke training quarters he was naturally a bit concerned over the condition of his man. Working His Hardest. Madden went into the gymnasium when Gus came off the road and supervised the Xubbing down proeess. He looked his as- pirant for Jeff's laurels over from head :o foot. and told Gus that he never saw him looking better. In the afternoon Rublin did his usual gymnasium stunt, but in- stead of going at it in his customary waz he put a snap and vim into his work that made the afternoonftraining a remaria- able test cf speed dnd endurance. From this time forth Ruhlin will cut down ihe time consumed in his afternoon work and add additional speed to his stunts. When he punches the bag he will hit up his faxt- est clip, and when he wresties with Big Denver Ed Martin he will puc his eniire strength into every move. ';hll, he calcu- laies. will improve his speed wonderfulry. The Edison people will take phot: phs of Ruhlin at his work to-day for the Kiet: scope. (Fred Burns. the Edison repre- sentative. has an engagement to spend t day at Bianken's, and Runlin will be un. der the eagle eye of the camera from morning until night. The local bet has changed a little during the last Ix opened yesterday with Jeffries a 2% to 1 favorite, and closed at 2 to 1, with Ruh'in still on the short emnd. Owing to the Snow on the Ground It Was Difficult to Hold the Rushes. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 4. innesota de- feated the Haskell Indians’ football team of Lawrence, Kans., to-day, 28 to 0. Min- nesota kicked off and at the start things looked rather biue for the Gophers, but Minnesota wfter she got the ball tore through the Haskell line for continuous galns. Owing to the snow on the ground it was a difficult task to hold the rushes of the team which had the ball, but the zero weather put snap into the game. The Indians, though outweighed, were not outplayed, as Minnesota was not strong on the defensive. Both teams played a pretty offensive game. ———————— Nearly 00,000 square miles, or about 30 rr cent, of the area of the United States as been mapped by the experts of the United States Geological Survey during the last twenty years.
