Action | in the matter was taken at a special meet- | jing. The Bay City Club had persisted in | violating the laws of the assoclation, and the suspension was the unanimous verdict of the delegates from the varlous clubs. | | anager Crowley of the Bay City Club | there to plead in behalf of his or- | sénization, but his efforts were futile, | The evidence against the boxing club was | too strong and he was unable to refute it. it was admitted by Mr. Crowley that Rob- Lle Johnson, the bantam-weight boxer, | had told him an untruth when he stated he had not ‘received more than $35 for taking part in preliminary contests to | rofessional fights. Mr. Crowley denied | that his club had given money to ama- eurs and appealed to the association to give his club an opportunity to show that in future it would live up to the rules. The meeting was called to_ order by President W. B. Hinchman. After Secre- tary Hauser had reported various mat- ters George James, a delegate from the Oiympic Club and chairman of the com- mittee on registration, read a lengthy re- port, in which he told of the dereliction of the Bay City Club in permitting Rob- bie Johnson, a suspended amateur, to fight vefore the club. He said_the com- mittee had imposed a fine of $25 on the Bay City Club for its action. He dwelt at length on the assistance given the committee by the Board of Supervisors. Upon motion of Secretary Hauser the rules were suspended and the delegates took up the report.’ A motion was made to suspend the Bay City Athletic Club, Manager Crowley then addressed the meeting at length, and when he concluded Ar. Rothkopf moved that a secret ballot be taken. This was defeated by a vote of 13 to 2. The vote to suspend the Bay City Club was carried unanimously. The delegat: from the San Francisco and S lley Athletic clubs declined to vete. H. H. Herdman was appointed commis- sioner of athletics in the Northwest. Dave Atkinson, the Reliance football player. who was suspended for striking an um pire, asked to be reinst ated, but the mat- ter was referred back to the registration committee.

CHORISTERS FROM UTAH COMING TO THE COAST Salt Lake Tabernacle and Numerous Excursionists on the Way to This City. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 14—Two trainloads of Utah excursionists, includ- ing over 15) members of the choir of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, left here this morn- ing over the Oregon Short Line for Calj- fornia, where ten days will be spent. The excursion as originally planned was for the choir of the Mormon Tabernacle alone, but was augmented by delegations from scores of Utah towns, and when the trains pulled out this morning they carried over 500 excursionists. At Ogden, where the trains were switched on to the Union and Central Pa- cific, a large crowd of Ogden excursion- ists joined the party. The first stop will be made at Sacramento to-morrow after- noon. _San Francisco, Monterey, the Le- land Stanford University bufldings at Palo Alto and other points of interest will be vieited. Services will be held by the excursionists at San Francisco Sunday, probably in the Temple of Music, Dr. J. . Talmage preaching the sermon. The Tabernacle choir will give concerts at all stopping places. ONE BILL WILL INCLUDE APPEAL OF TERRITORIES House Committee Decides to Facili- tate Action in Three Matters of Statehood. WASHINGTON, March 14.—The House Committee on Territorles to-day decided upon an “omnibus’” Territorial bill, which will provide for statehood for Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, instead of separate statehood bills for each Terri- tory. These bills have heretofore been separate, but to-day they were harmo- nized in thelr provisions and Chairman Knox was authorized to incorporate them in_one measure. Representative Degraffenreid of Texas made the motion to consolidate the bills, which motion was so framed as to In- struct the chairman to submit to the House one bill and one report, to the end that action may be taken at one time at the earliest possible date on the question of the advancement of all said Terri- tories. ROCHAMBEAU FESTIVAL APPEALS TO FRENCHMEN Warship May Be Sent to Participate in the Proposed Monument Unveiling. PARIS, March 14.—The Echo de Paris, ocmmenting on the adoption of the reso- lution by the United States Congress in- viting France to participate in the in- auguration of the Rochambeau monu- ment at Washington May 24, says: “M. Cambon, the French Embassador at Washington, has constantly urged the French Government to send a warship to represent France at the ceremony. We hope the Ministries of War and the Navy also will be represented by high of- ficials. There is no doubt it Is an excel- lent opportunity, on the morrow of Prince Henry’s Visit, to make the exercises at the Franco-American manifestation of sympathy with Rochambeau imposing in character and Invest them with solemnity | and grandeur.” | NORRIS AND ROWE’'S CIRCUS GIVES NIGHT STREET PARADE ‘Thousands of Sightseers Throng the Sidewalks and Enjoy the Exhibition of Animals. + — 1 \ | pOIN’ TIME FERY | ST ALK natVT » YouR RoULN RuinERs: 5 00 ¢105F !

There was a large crowd gresent. and the betting was the best for ays. A crack bunch of platers faced the bar- rier in the fourth number over six fur- longs, furnishing one of the best betting problems of the season. Nash Turner had the mount on The Pride, but this did not prevent Princess Titania closing fa- vorite at odds of 3 to 1. The latter mare was unfortunate as usual at the start, getting away poorly, and finishing outside of the money. True Blue made the pace to the stretch and then retired. Just as it looked as though the Montana rider, Spargus, might land Pope Leo first, Bir- kenruth on Sweet Tooth came with a rush on the outside, disposing of the outsider by less than a length. Cut off near the paddock, Princess Titania lost the show to_School for Scandal. Elmwood farm's brown Tiger colt, The Forum, had shown some smashing fast work at Ingleside; on the strength of which he was made favorite for the first two-year-old dash. Troxler, who had the mount, got the worst of a straggling start and, after closing up lengths o? day- light, lost to Clarinette by two lengths. Fire Dance was third. Tufts, the 2 to 1 second choice for the seven-furlong selling affair, showed to be pounds the best of the six starters, that is, considering- the lack of staying quali- tles displayed by Dulcimer and Estado. Stuart had to tramp around the bunch with Tufts, and then beat Lento, a 15 t> 1 shot, handily. Dulcimer, the favorite, died away after leading to the stretch. Winnie O’Connor’s mount, Ora Viva, had first call for the second two-year-old spin. Away none too well, the youngster ran third. Ransch on Donami, a son of Herald, led from the jumg. getting home two lengths before J. H. Bennett. 'g OAKLAND TR Kickumbob scored a fluke win In the mile selling. affair. He was backed from 12 down to 8 and was not headed after the barrier went up. Bangor finished second and Herculean third. Lady Sterling stood a game drive in the final seven-furlong run, finishing first a neck In front of Huachuca. At the head of the stretch she looked beaten, but Quiet and Huachuca both backed up badly the last eighth, and the Bell entry outstayed them. - Track Notes. ‘The great four-mile Thornton stake is the feature of the card this afternoon. There are flve entries for the $3000 prize. Both Sweet\Tooth and Lady Sterling are owned by L. V. Bell, the New York turf- man. The same owner’'s Herculean was beaten through the wretched riding of Birkenruth. At.one stage of the betting Pope Leo was 100 to 1. Small wagers cut _the price to 30. | Ransch was on hand with his customary two winners. Le¢ Jackson, after a brief visit to Los Angeles, returned to the saddle again. His only winning mount was Kickumbob. ‘Winnfe O'Connor will leave to-night for the country the other side of the Rockles. He has nothing but kind words to say of the treatment accorded him here and will be back again next winter. Winnie is assuredly the most popular rider that ever appeared on the local t . His honesty 1s above reproach and his' efforts on a 50 to 1 shot are as vigorous as if he was piloting a 4 to 5 chance in a stake event.

Misunderstanding as to Conditions the €ause. HE home-and-home tournament tween teams representing class of the San Franci: Golf clubs is off. Half of a 36-hole match was played last Saturday on the Oakland links, the Oak landers obtaining a lead of 3 up. The sec ond half was to have been played this afternoon on the Presidio links, the scores made .on the two days to be counted to. gether. Early in ‘the week Leonard Chenery, captain of the San Francisco team, suggested to J. O. Cadman, captain of the Oakland team, that they select a cup to be glven to the winning team. Captain Chenery’s understanding was that the result of one 36-hole match, halt played on the Oakland and the other halt on the Presidio links, was to decide the ownership of the trophy. But Captain Cadman insisted the cup should go to the team winning two out of three 18- hole matches, no matter by how many or how few holes. According to this un- derstanding the Oakland team would al. ready be one match to the good and it the Presidio men should win 30 up on their own links that would count but one game to them, thus produeing a tle, which would be decided by an~18-hole match on neutral links. Captain Chenery called in S. L. Abbot Jr., captain of the San Francisco Golf Club, and offered to submit the matter to arbitration, or to agree upon a fresh understanding, but the Oaklander said he had understood the matter in a certain way and the tourna- ment must be played out in accordance with his views or not at all. Captain Chenery offers to finish the contest ac- cording to the same rules as class A tournaments, but Captain Cadman will have none of it. He will not follow the precedent set in the annual class A inter- club tournaments, in which two 36-hole matches are played and in the event ol each club winning one a deciding 18-hole match is played on neutral links. He will not let the contest be decided by the re- sult of one 36-hole match, as ‘was donc last year, In which class B teams rep- resenting the two clubs played for the first time. He will not submit the ques- tion to arbitration nor consent to any- thing except that his own views shall con- trol. Under these circumstances there seems little prospect of a mutual under- standing being reached. Last Sunday the second match in the first round of the competition for the council’'s cup was played between H. C. Golcher and Charies Page, the former winning, 7 up, 6 to play. S. L. Abbot Jr. beat Dr. C. J. Decker, 1 up. The match between Warren Gregory and G. B. Cook- sey has not yet been played. One match of the semi-final round has been played, H. C. Golcller beating Dr. T. G. McCon- key, 4 up, 2 to play. and winning his way into the final round. The winner of the Gregory-Cooksey match will play against S. L. Abbot Jr. in the semi-final round. The tournament over eighteen holes, match play, for ladles’ foursomes of the San Francisco Golf Club did not take place last Monday morning, but will be played next Monday, March 17. It Is stated that three couples have already been drawn, Mrs. R. Gilman Brown with Miss Alice Hager, Miss Alice Hoffman with Miss Edith Chesebrough and Miss Florence Ives with Miss Sarah Drum. If this be so, Mrs. Brown and Miss Hager would seem certain to win, as they were the winner and ru!‘mer-ur respectively in the last competition for the council’s cup for women, during the earlier rounds of which each beat her opponent by ample margins. The recent heavy rains have played havoc with the putting grounds of the Sausalito Golf Club, which will have to be remade before they can be used. They must be filled in with new material, rolled and leveled. The directors of the club held a meeting on Tuesday night at the house of the president, Major T. W. M. Dra‘gel‘, by whom they wer. entertained at dinner. The San Rafael Golf Club has issued its .tournament schedule for‘ 1902, the events extending from April 5 to Septem- ber % inclusive.

[Colored Boxer Has the Reach, Height and Cleverness. OUNG ITBBS of Cleveland, Ohio, y was given the decision over Mose La Fontise in a fifteen-round bout which weént the limit last night at the:Aeme Club, Oakland La Fontise displayed remarkable recu- perative power. He was unable to get inside the guard of Gibbs, who jabbed the Montana fighter with straight lefts ail through the fight. The Ohio boxer put La Fontise down twife in the tenth round for eight seconds, but the Montana man was up and at it when the gong sounded the end of the round. La Fontise inflicted but little damage on Gibbs, as the latter was too clevey. Gibbs having fought here three times was picked by the Oakland contingent as a winner. During the progress of the fif- teen rounds La Fontise took the count five times. He appeared stronger at the wind up than during the middle of the battle. Gibbs had him in distress on the ropes numerous times, but, try as he would, he could not plant a knockout punch’ on any part of the Montana fight- er's anatomy. La Fontise assumed an awkward, crouching position when in ac- tion. His favorite method of attack was to rush in and swing with his right for the body. He played for Gibbs' stomach, and in the fourth round landed a couple of jolts that shook the colored boxer up and made him stand away to recover his wind. Gibbs’ reach, height and skill were all against the Montana fighter. There were two preliminaries to the main event of the evening. The first was between Kid La Valle and’Cyclone Kelly. In the-fourth round La Vaile’s seconds tossed up the sponge, as their man: was being battered about and unable to defena himseif. The second preliminary was a six-round contest between Jack Kane and Jimmie Reilly, both of San Francisco. It was a rattling go and lasted the full six rounds. Referee Jack Kitchen declared the mill a draw and his decision was well received. TOMMY RYAN DEFEATS MYSTERIOUS BILLY SMITH Knocks Him Out in the Fourth Rourd of a Fight in Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 14.—Tom- my Ryan of this city to-night knocked out “Mysterious Bjlly” Smith of Portland, Oregon, in the foffrth round of what was scheduled as a ten-round bout in Turner Hall. After one minute and thirty-five seconds of furious fighting in the last round Ryan landed a terrific left in the stomach, which was followed so clos by a right hook on Smith's jaw that it was difficult to tell which blow was the more effective. Smith went down, and though he struggled hard to regain his feet he was unable to do so before the fatal ten seconds were counted off. At the outset of the fourth round both men began to fight viciously. Ryan land- ed several body blows which seemed to distress Smith. The latter landed some stinging blows on Ryan's kidneys and neck, but without any apparent effect on the Kansas City man. Smith made a viclous swing at. Ryan, which the latter ducked cleverly. Smith slipped and fell from the force of his own effort. He re- mained on his knees seven seconds, rest- ing. The two blows which knocked nim out were landed two seconds after Smita regained his feet. . During the first two rounds honors ‘were even. Ryan appeared in the pink of condition, while Smith seemed too heavy. iy I POAINL o HELENA, Mont., March 14.—Judge Smith of the Districe Court has held that the State law imposing a license tax upon express companies is unconstitutional.
