CON WING'S cripples fell victims to the wiles of the Senators from the Capital City yesterday at Recrea- tion Park. The field was wet and sloppy, making fast plays impos- sible and materially alding the errorscol- umn. Schmidt twirked the first four in- nings for the cripples, and the Senators found him for a total of seven runs and nine hits. Waterbury, as amateur, was then substituted, and he held Beebe's men down to two lonely singles. He was in superb form, passing only one man to first and making five strikeouts. Levy called the game at the end of the eighth inning on account of darkness. Sacramento started after Schmidt at the outset. Four singles and a fly to center by Davis gave them two runs. During the second round Stricklett singled, and with the aid of Hanson's error and Sheehan's hit he completed the trip. The Capital City sluggers added four more to their list in the fourth, though only two hits were made. A few errors and Schmidt's wildness in hitting Devereaux when the sacks were crowded did the trick. Mohler made a tally for the Dudes in the initial round. He hit, took second on Francks’ out to second and first, and the Test of his journey was made easy by “Wiid Bill” Devereaux's error. ' Babbitt and Hamilton were there with runs dur- ing the seventh. Singles by Hamilton and Mohler, Flood’s error and a wild pitch Were the principal causes of the damage. Stricklett was in rare form. He had the cripples_entirely at his- mercy at every stage of the game. His ten sirikeouts in eight innings beats all records this sea- son. Devereaux hit an apparently safe one to left field in the first, but little Hamiiton captured it after a hard sprint. Hamilton also had his batting eye with him, as he made two of the cripples’ six hits. Francks' one-hand catch of Stan- ley's hot drive in the fourth was deserv- ing of the hand it received, being one of those halr-raising plays that are so sel- dom seen.

Wynn, who recently created a sensation in mining circles by the announcement that he had discovered a process by which he could recover enormous gold values from what have been regarded as low | grade ores, died to-night at St. Joseph's Hospital of strangulated hernia. Professor Wynn had been in poor health for a year, but was taken with the at- tack which caused his death yesterday, being taken to the hospital at 6 o'clock last night. Little is known by the public about the Wynn process of gold extraction, and it is ‘discredited by many mining men, but the fact that Willard Teller, a brother of | United States Senator Henry M. Teller, and ex-Judge Sidney Williams, both prominent attorneys and capitalists of this city, convinced of its truth, became | the financial backers of the discoverer, | 8ave it an interest to the public. Professor Wynn and his partners had been arranging for the establishment of a large plafit for the treatment of ore: It is understood that both his partne: are the possessors of his secrets and that his death will not materially interfere with .their plans. Professor Wynn was a natlve of Vir- ginia and was educated at the George- town University. His profession was that of a chemist and for the last five years he had devoted his entire time to the de- velopment of his gold process. He came here from Kansas City in July last. DES MOINES, Nov. 20.—In the United States District Court this morning the Balliett jury ‘was dismissed owing to the death of one of its members. The contending sides could not agree ;amlrr.y the case before the eleven remaining meet again Terry will win. I notice that it has been published that Corbett has | won ~ the featherweight championship, | This is not true. McGovern defeated George Dixon for the title of feather- weight champion, the limit for which is 122 pounds. When Terry won it he turned the scales at only 118 and he is now ready at all lh?etsh(ondeftend his championship onors at the limit, 12 s ar_:ry ot 22 pounds, against om Sharkey has taken charge of Dave Sullivan, the feztherwelght pugilist, and to-day issued a challenge to Young Cor- bett. " He says Sullivan is anxious to tackle Young Corbett under the same conditions that Young Corbett met Mc- Govern yesterday. He is ready at any moment to match at 126 pounds, the dura- tion of the battle being limited to twenty or twenty-five rounds. Sharkey is willing to bet $2500 or $5000 on the side. e b @ SHARP HEFLS MAKE WOUNDS Deputy Coroner Tells More About Young Ayers’ Death. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Upon the eve of the adjournment to-day of the Crimi- nal Court before which Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine is being tried for the killing of James S. Ayers Jr., District Attorney Gould announced that the Government would rest its case after the introduction :r one or two more witnesses and that e expected to conclude session of the court today o o . W. Keane will then maki imi- nary statement in Mrs, Bonine's morniz and witnesses for the defense will be in- treduced.” It is expected that about twen.- ty-five of these will be heard. Mrs. Bo- Dine's counsel said ihat they have not yet cf whether she Bt S, shall be put upon eputy Coroner Glazebr -day cluded his testimony and Deteoine Feon told of the confession which Mrs, Bonine first made to him of her part in the trag. edy. Her confession to the Chief of Po- lice was also read.

Many Methods cf Bozers James. Britt, the Olympic Club’s crack lightweight boxer, sustained his reputa- tion last night as a hard hitter. In a special tournament in the club gymna- sium he met Fred Bell and conceding him some ten pounds in weight won cleverly. The bout was scheduled for four rounds, but Britt brought it to an end in one min- ute and thirty seconds' fighting in the first round. Neither man had done much work when suddenly Britt landed a left hook on the chin which knocked Bell unconscious. Be- fore he commenced to fall Britt's right hand glove caught him on the head. The force of the blow turned him around and after he struck the padded floor there was still enough impetus to ‘cause him to roil over. ‘S. Berger was given the decision over Andy sallagher, the amateur heavy- eight champlon. Berger, with his long reach, could ‘outpoint his bulky opponent boxing, but chose infighting instead. Gal- lagher ‘landed frequently, but seemed to do most of his hitting with the open glove. Bob Johnson and Barney Driscoll were the first brace of boxers in the ring. Driscoll was the aggressor, although eacn was trying all the time. The fight was a busy, bustling one. The decision was glven ‘Johnson on points, he having land- ed the most clean blows. Louis Richards was stopped by Paul Martin in two minutes’ fighting. Richards seemed to have stage fright. His efforts were ‘ slow . and ineffective. He was knocked .to his knees and stayed down the full ten seconds. Erank George and Joseph Neilan camne together like a pair of battering rams. If a kinetoscope picture machine man could transfer the action of the fight to films it would make his fortune. The judges decided in favor of George. The fight was the one dash of comedy to re- lieve the serious aspect of the night's sport. pAl ‘Ahrens knocked Harry Baker down twice in the first round of their bout. Baker was palpably out of conditivn. Referee E. J. ngth stopped the bout In the second round. The officials were: Referee, E. J. Smit! judges—W. J. Leonard and E. M. Grane; timekeeper, F. R. Butz; announcer, McGibben. s AR T HEARING IN EKBERG MURDER CASE IS BEGUN Threats Made Against Life of Alma Miller, Chief Witness for Pros- ecution. The preliminary examination of John M. Riley on a charge of murder for kill- ing Otto M. Ekberg a non-union team- ster, on Townsend street, between Ritch and Clyde strects, November 9, was com- menced before Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Alma Miller testified to seeing the defendant strike Ekberg on the head with a piece of pipe. She was Within six feet of him at the time and had a good side view of him. Riley kept his face turned from her while she was testifying, but she pointed to him as the man who struck the fatal blow. The, other witnesses' examined were Policeman David Koegel, who saw the body on the sidewalk and found a loaded revolver in the deceased’s pocket; Wil- liam E. Jones, secretary of the Nolan Drayage Company, who also saw the body lying on the sidewalk, and Charles Johnson, a boy, who testified to having had a conversation with the defendant the day before the murder, in which Riley remarked that he had not ‘“got” Ekberg vet, but he would “get him soon.” The case was continued till Monday afternoon. Mrs. Miiler complained to Captain Sey- mour yesterday that her life had been threatened, supposedly by friends of the defendant, if she testified against him. A man called at her house Thursday night pretending that he had a turkey for her, but she refused to open the door. She was assured of ample police protection. A BURGLARS PAY VISITS TO TWO LARGE STORES Steel Box in F. A. Weck Company’s Safe Forced Open and Contents Stolen. The front door of the warehouse of the F. A. Weck Company, manufacturing pharmacists, 127 New Montgomery-street, was found open by Policemen Harrison and Barry about hailf-past 4 o’clock yes- terday morning. They at once notified police headquarters and Detectives Dinan and Bailey immediately went to the place. They discovered the safe open. 'rhe steel box inside had been forced open by punching_the lock off. The front door of the safe had been forced with a “jimmy.” ‘When the members of the firm reacned the office vesterday morning they stated they had been working late Thursday night and had left the safe door open. There was $50 in coin and two bundles of pavers stolen from the steel box. he papers were of no value to any one ex- cept the firm. Between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday morn- ing Policemen Murrin, Tobin and Owens discovered that the rear door on Steven- son street of Olsen & Co.’s store, 715 Mar- ket street, had been smashed in, presum- ably by the same crooks who visited the Weck Company’s premises. The officers thoroughly searched the interior of the store, but found no one. They notiued the proprietor by telephone, who later e?ld he did not miss anything from tane store. e GANG OF HOODLUMS TO BE SUPPRESSED Residents at Eleventh and Natoma Streets Ask for More Adequate Police Protection. Hugh Hannan, Frank Moran, John Ben- nett and Thomas Kane appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday on a charge. of disturbing the peace. The complaining witness was Mrs. O. J. Langmuth, who has a store at 131 Eleventh street. She and others testified that the defend- ants belonged to a gang of hoodlums who gather on the corner of Eleventh and Na- toma streets and insult every woman who passes. They also amused themselves, she said, by throwing refuse and stones into stores and breaking windows. The Judge convicted the defendants and ordered them to appear for sentence this morn- ng. A celegation of Tesidents in the neigh- borhood, accompanied by Attorney W. G. Burke, waited upon Chief Wittman and complained that the police protection was inadequate. C. Code stated that his life had been threatened by the gang because he had complained to the police, and asked for a permit to carry a revolver. The Chief advised Code to make his ap- plication and it would be brought before the next meeting of the Commissioners. He also promised the delegation that ade- quate police protection would be provided in future. i ————— Plethora of Witnesses. ‘When the case of Mrs. Reeves Atkinson, charged with maintaining a nuisance in the shape of a private sanitarium at 1815 Sutter street, was called in Judge Fritz's court Yeuterday afternoon the courtroom was filled with witnesses. The Judge was informed that there were thirty-three wit- nesses for the prosecution and forty-nine for the defense. The Judge agreed to give a whole week In the afternoons to the case, commencing December 16, and it was continued till that date. ORDNUNG , AGAIN BEATS AUTOLIGHT IN THE MUDDY GOING AT OAKLAND The Weaver Is Plunged cn to Win a Maiden Event and Rameses Downs Him ‘a Neck in a Driving Finish-—-Cromwell Captures a Purse---Botany Leads Out Sol Lichtenstein, a Hot Favorite EFORE a crowd that looked small in comparison with the big holiday throng of the day before the Schoor mud lark, Ordnun gave Green Morris’ crack ™ per- former Autolight another beating. . Once before the pair met under nearly precise conditions and the result was the same. Even now there are many who think Au- tolight can reverse'the verdict. This is based no doubt on the start in yester- day’s race, both Ordnung and Articulate outbreaking the Morris entry. The three horses named were the only starters, and the friends of Ordnung once got 8 to 5 for their money. At the start Johnny Woods let the favorite skip right out in front. Articulate kept him close company to the stretch and there shot his bolt. By this time O’Connor had brought Autolight into play, and although the race was fun just right to suit the latter horse, which is a slow beginner, Ordnung won by a length. The golng was sloppy and cut up in places, and the time 1:15% marks an ex- ceilent performance. However, there still exists a doubt as to_the relative merits of the two horses and they will probably clash again. Four well. backed favorites in The Weaver, Urchin, Sol Lichtenstein and De- coy were bowled over. On paper the pro- gramme. did not wear a very ‘classy” look, but some extensive wagering was indulged in. g The Weaver, a maiden 2-year-old owned by Hugh Wilson, the Butte hotel man, was made the medium of a huge plunge in the opening scramble. From threes the price was gradually chopped to 8 to 5 and the hot one lost the decision to Rameses by a neck. No excuscs could be offered for The Weaver, as he was simply out- footed by Greem Morris’ colt, which was excellently ridden by Birkenruth. In the seven furlong run which fol- lowed . all the starters carried their weight_and it wore a catch-as-catch-can look. Urchin, with Bullman up, finally closed favorite, only to be collared and downed with consummate ease by Rose of Hilo, a 10 to 1 shot, piloted by Ruiz. Henry Spencer put old Cromwell over the line first for the mile and a sixteenth selling event. Ed Purser’s horse came in for plenty of support, going to the post a 3 to 2 favorite. To the splendid ride he received more than to anything else can be .attributed his victory. Spencer al- lowed Ned Dennis, the dangerous looking one, to go out with St. Anthony and then cutting loose in the run home disposed of Dennis by a length. O’Connor finished third with Alicia. Dr. Rowell’s black youngster, Sol Lich- tenstein, was looked upon as a certainty for the five furlong two-year-old sprint. Birkenruth did not get him away from the post in very good shape and Woods on Botany led him from start to finish. Phyllis ran a poor third. The closing mile and a sixteenth proved a difficult guessing problem. Decoy seemed to catch the fancy of the book- makers and handicappers and was made the favorite. Woods rated him and ran unplaced. Duckoy, ridden by Bullman, made nearly all the pace, and though pressed hard at the end by Lodestar, won by half a length. Track Notes. The officials at Oakland stated vester- day that racing will be continued at the track across the bay until after the first of ‘the vear: Winslette was slightly injured in a mix- uprat the post in the fifth event. “P{” Ruiz, it is said, has received an offer to go to Australia and ride. Eddie Ames, from recent accounts, is meeting with marked success on the island con- tinent. Barney Schreiber, looking ' hale and hearty. arrived on_last night's overland from St. Louis. He will cut in at the booking game next week. Barney says he has a_grand looking lot of vearlings by Sain, Balgowan and Service at his Wood- lands farm; far better than any of the -vearlings he saw East, unless those of the Keenes' be excepted. As to the re- ports telegraphed here that he had signed Dugan to do his riding Barriey said there was no truth to it. He still has hope of bringing Cochran out here, although some sort of a_controversy over a contract is going on between the crack lightweight's father and John McCafferty.
