GARDNER IS A STRONG FAVORIT FIDDLE-WEIGHT BOXERS l ARE READY FOR THE RING Each Fighter Declares He Will Have No Excuses to. Offer on the S-ore of Condition Should the Referee’s Decision Go Aganst Him Tc-Night at Mechanics’ MUST ANSWER GRAVE CHARGES Fight Promoters Accuse an Official of Ex- tortion. Accepts Registration Fees of Amateurs Without Author(ty. Grave accusations were made last night @t a meeting held in the Olympic Club against a man who for years has held a prominent position in connectfon With amateur athletics. It is claimed he ex- acted $20 from the Hayes Valley Athletic Club as & membenrship fee in the Pacific Association of Amateur Athletic Union, and also that he collected registration fees from many which he has never accounted in full to the association. He issued registration cards bearing only his signature, when they require those of three members of a committee especially named for that duty. President W. B. Hinchman of the asso- ciation will prefer charges to-day.and the accused will be given a hearing on Feb- ruary 13 Morris Levy of the Hayes Val- Jey Athletic Club has been ordered to pro- duce a letter written by the accused, in which a demand is said to be made for money. The matter has created a sensation among amateur athletes, owing to the prominence of the accused. The present officials of the association seem to think it casts a reflection on them and are in- tent on having a thorough investigation of the charges which have been hinted at for some time. The meeting resulted in putting amateur boxing in what appears to be a healthy condition. It is not & sport which adapts itself readily to amateur laws, but the promoters have met the governing body more than half way and good results are expected. W. B. Harrington represented the San Francisco Athletic Club, Dan Crowley the Bay City Athletic Club and Morris Levy the Hayes Valley Club. They agreed to match _only registered amateurs. For prizes they will give merchandise orders, but no cash. The action recently taken suspending the San Francisco and Bay City clubs was rescinded. It was found the Hayes Valley Club had never . qaulified as a member, its membership fee of $7150 not having been paid. Mr. Levy paid this and the club was declared a member of the association. The clubs will be represented at each monthly meeting of the associa- tion hereafter. It was decided that the amateur rule rrohibiting boxers from appearing under assumed names will be strictly enforced.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, 'JANUARY 31, 1902 Pav.lon T f | | | | | | | : EORGF GARDNER is a pro- nounced favorite in the betting on his fight fo-night in Mechan- ics’ Pavilion with Jack Root. The Chicagoakiwent back a couple of points yesterday, the prevailing odds be- ing 10 to 7. The followers of .the ring in this city think they know a fighter when they see one, and they are willing to go down, They have watched him in his various fights since last July and note an improvement each time he enters the ring. He has im- proved steadily in everything that goes to make up a fighter, and just how good he is competition alone will develop. Opposed to him is a man who has never been deféated. That is why the Chicago RULES OUT WILL FOR TENTH TIME Prosecution in: Patrick Murder Trial Meets With Setback. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—When Recorder Goff clesed court for the day in the trial of Albert T. Patrick for the murder of Willlam March Rice, he had for the tenth time ruled out the admission of the Rice will of 18%, which the prosecution has been trying to get into the record. Following the evidence of Banker Nor- man S. Meldrum, who was again on the stand to-day. that the signature to the assignment of Rice’s estate to Patrick was a forgery, and that the signature to the 189 will was genuine, came the testi- mony of Joseph L. Blinn of Springfield, (Blinn) was to get $30,000 of the estate under the 1900 or Patrick will. The cross-examination of Blinn by coun- sel for the defense brought out that there was an arrangement by which the wit- ness was to receive $75,000 from the Rice Institute if the 18% will was admitted to probate. Under this 189 will Blinn's share was $5000. Witness said that the arrange- ment was in writing. It came from Colgnel Joseph Rice (William Rice’s nephew) and he (Blinn) had signed the paper. Two Texans testified to-day. They were Emanuel Raphael, secretary and manager of the Houston Clearing-house, and also a trustee of the Rice Instituté, and Ar- thur B. Cohn, clerk and agent of W. M. Rice at HousSton. Raphael told of the plans for the Rice Institute. was familiar with Rice’'s signature and that the signatures on the checks, the as- signment of the Rile estate to Patrick and the paper which revoked Captain Baker’s right to Rice's safety deposit box were forgeries. Cohn swore the signatures to the 1900 will, the checks and the assignment were not genuine. e Bank Note Passers Discharged. Assistant United States District Attor- ney E. J.

Is Knocked Down Several Times and Goes Out in the Seventh. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 30.—Tommy Ryan of this city, who claims the middle- weight championship of the world, knocked out George Green of San Francisco to-night in the seventh round of what was scheduled as a ten-round contest before a large .attendance in Armory Hall. From the first round, in which Green was forced to take the /count, until the decisive blow was landed, the result was never in doubt. Ryan was the aggressor throughout, Green being unable to with- stand the furious rushes of his opponent. In the first round Ryan made it appar- ent that it was to be a fast fight so far as his side of the argument was con- cerned. After knocking Green over the ropes with a hard right in the ribs he landed again with his left on Green's Jaw with such telling effect that the lat- ter was forced to take the count. In the next round Ryan rained body blows on his opponent, whose distress caused him again to go to his knees for five seconds. Just before the bell sounded Ryan again knocked Green through the ropes. Green made his best showing in the third round, when he landed a half- dozen times, but without apparent effect on Ryan. In the beginning of the mnext round Rfian landed a clean right on the jaw, Wwhich knocked Green down. After this Green was in great distress and ran around the ring to avoid his opponent. Ryan was walting to land a knock-out punch, and after one minute and twenty seconds in the seventh round, quick as a flash, he landed another right on the aw and Green went flat on his back. reen was counted out and had to be carried to his dressing-room and revived with some difficulty. Ryan announced ~ to-night that he is ready to fight any middle-welght in the world. e CORINTHIANS ELECT THE REGULAR TICKET Long and Warm Discussion Ends in Decision to Levy an Assess- ment on the Members.

It was called the Sonoma, and was decided over one mile and a furlong. Position, carry- ing top weight, 118 pounds, had first call in the betting, while the old mare Lizzella, with 113 pounds up, came next in line. Only three others started, and, unfortu- nately, heither one of the heavy weights earned a mark. All Green, with 108 pounds in the saddle, 12 pounds off from his last race, looked “in’’ rather nice, his_friends played the Easterner at 5 to 1. He cut out the running for nearly a mile and then began dropping behind. Green Morris’ useful mare Janice, shoul- dering 10S pounds and piloted by Lee Jack- son, passed the light weight, Frangible, When ready, and in a drive got the verdict Wwith a bit to spare in 1:54%. It was a rough day on followers of fa- vorites, as Lapidus was the only one to land. Dwight Way, Plead, Rollick, Janice and Tyranus were all quoted at lengthy odds in the ring. The weather was again fine and the attendance large. Barney Schreiber's filly Satchel once more had the honor of being installed a favorite, closing an 8 to 5 chance for the opening six furlong run. O'Connor got her | away in front, but she was outfooted, fin- ishing third. ' Esternell showed a high turn of speed at 30 to 1, leading almost to the wire, where Burns got up with .Dwight Way, winning by less than a length. The winner was a 6 to 1 chance. There was nothing to the mile and a sixteenth selling event but the: favorita, Lapidus. The little Star Ruby colt cut opt the pace from the start, crossing the line four lengths before Eonic. MacGyle finished a poor third. Wyoming was the only other starter. From a time standpoint the mile selling run was a wretchedly bad one, Plead, with O’Connor up and 12 to 1, winning easily in 1 Senator Matts, a 30 to 1 shot, cut out the running, and was then downed a length and a half. There was no pronounced choice, El Mido, Ingo and Legal Maxim all being quoted at fours. On his race of the day before, when he stopped going six furlongs, no one paid much attention to Rollick in the betting on the seven furlong run, and there w: genuine surprise when the chestnut geld- ing won. His sort of racing may be forin, but is not decipherable. Such reversals are becoming altogther too common of late. At odds of 4 to 1 he went out, and, racing the favorite, Duckoy, to a stand- still, then stood oft’the chalienge of Con- stellator, scoring cleverly by two lengths. The winner was ridden by J. Ransch, who ‘was never compelled to draw his whip. Tyranus, at 4 to 1, took the last event in a hard drive from Maraschino. The Weaver ran third. Track Notes. ‘Winnie O'Connor, the jockey, and Green B. Morris, the owner, have arrived at an amicable adjustment of their difficulties. ‘Winnie will again don the purple jacket with white cap. o ‘Walter Jenning$ had to stand another boost yvesterday when Lapidus won. W. | H. cNames, who tilted Qulet on Wednesday, bid up the colt from $600 to 900. Of course the stable responded with a $ bid. Clem Jenkins, who rode with marked success in England last season, and who is one of the most gentlemanly of Ameri- can riders, was an onlooker at Oakland vesterday.

SYMPHONY CONCERT DISTINCTIVELY MODERN One of the Best Programmes Yet Given Arranged for This Afternoon. One of the best programmes yet given by the San Francisco Symphony Soclety orchstra will be that which has been ar- ranged for this afternoon’s concert at the Grand Opera-house. It is distinctively modern in character, with the Slavic school strongly represented by Dvorak’s *“New World Symphony that will open the programme, the ‘‘Nutcracker Suite” of Tschaikowsky. Lalo’s ‘“Rhap- sodie Espagnol” is an excellent example of another modern school. The overture from “Der Freischutz” will be the only number chosen from the older classics, The orchestra has been steadily at work since the last concert, and Director Stein- dorff and Concertmeister Minetti believe this afternoon’s concert will compare very favorably with those of the former series. The concert begins at 3:15 p. m. precisely, and the audience is respectfully requested to be seated by that time. —_———— MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG DRUG CLERK Roland Selzer Retires in Cheerful Mood and Is Found Asphyxiated in the Morning.
