Jim Jeffries and His RTICLES have been signed, for- feits posted and all the prelimin- ary details arranged for the Jef- fries-Fitzsimmons championship fight. The men are to meet in this city on the night of July 25th. Both principals were cpposed to a fight out of doors in the day- time. Jeffries did not attend the meeting vesterday, his interests being carefuily guarded by Billy Delaney and Kid Egan. Fitzsimmons spoke for himself and proved a master hand at arranging the details for a fight. He was evidently primed with statistics of the Jeffries- Ruhlin contest, as he referred to that con- test frequently. He had his figures twisted in one instance when he said returns were made for only 300 spectators in the gallery. An official of the club corrected him, saying returns were made on more than 2000 tickets for the gallery. The club officlals, with Fitzsimmons, Delaney and Egan, went into executive session and discussed the details of the fight for three hours. Prices of admission were first taken up. The only thing defi- nite decided upon in this particular was that $5 would be charged for admission to the gallery. Doors are to be opened at 4 o'clock if the fighters think it neces- sary. The question of the “moving picture” privilege resulted in a long and a heated debate. Delaney finally said the . club cculd have anything they made out of the privilege if Jeffries won the fight. Fitz- simmons then agreed to give 20 per cent of the proceeds from the pictures and this amount was inserted in the ar- ticles. Further discussion was stirred up over the compensation of the referce. This of- fic to be paid by the club and Alex. ggains objected to allowing him _$500 his services. Eddie Graney said he accept less. The matter was finaily left for future consideration. The preliminary will probably be be- tween Jack Jeffries and Tom Wilson, Fitzslmmons’ sparring partner. Billy Delaney leaves for Harbin Springs tc-day to arrange for Jeffries’ training quarters. Fitzsimmons and his party leave to-day for Skaggs Springs, where they will settle down at once to the humdrum of training. With eight weeks in which to train it is not expected either man will do much hard work for the first month. They will live out of doors and lay up a store of vitality for the real training work. The fighters insisted on the club putfing up a $000 forfeit which wiil be divided between the fighters if the club cannot carry out its contract. Each of the fight- ers put up certified checks for $2500 in the hands of Sam Thall, the stakeholder. THROUGH SCARE Uncle Sam Can Now Save Millions in Nica- ragua Canal Route.

Loubet toasted the Czar ollow: ire: In coming on board the Montcalm you have done the French navy an honor which it will profoundly appreciate.

Hodson Puzzles Senators at Critical Points and Scores a Run and a Hit. HE Oakland artists did not have to exert themselves to any degree yes- terday to make Fisher's world-beat- ers look like a lot of aspiring coppers who failed to pass the civil service exuminations. It was one of those unin- teresting, go-as-you-please sort of func- tions, with Ewing continually clutching the soft side of the score and liable to break in and do things at any old time. Hodson unwound himself for Ewing and pitched a high art quality of ball. He was touched for eight safe bumps, but showed the true pitcher's art in keeping them scattered all along the line of battle. He would walk a man when in doubt and then turn in and throw it over to the next individual, who was likely to hit the ball to the infield and help complete one of these fast double plays which have made the stone wall infleld useful as well as_orhamental. Fisher chose Doyle to serve them up for the Senatorial carpet-baggers, and he was ali right except when Oakland needed .a run. Then he ceased being the real arti- cie. On all such occasions he was wal- loped in a lively manner—not too_lively, but just fast enough to give Mike a chance to see the runs being hung up in bunches of two at a time. They always came in twos and in three different rcunds, while the Senators earned one. The first pair of Oakland toddlers ar- rived at the pan in the third spasm, aid- ed by Lohman's single, Walters' double and Streib’s base hit. Singles by Hodson and- Strelb and a base on balls brought two more around in the sixth, and two more safe bangs, with the help of Wag- ner's muff of Devereaux’s easy fly, put the finishing touches on the day’s sport. The carpet-baggers only went through a single run-getting act, and that was in the fifth. Unglaub put down a neat bunt in the direction of third and Hogan sent him to third on a drive to left fleid. Bon: saved a shut-out by biffing after the man- ner of the youngster. The carpet-baggers had numerous chunces to make runs. They frequently got two on the bags and sometimes as many as three, but that most essential thing in baseball, the welcome base hit, was continually lacking. Théy found no dificulty in connecting with Hoddie's creokedness when no. one held down the bags, but at the right time they could not dexlsi\'er the zo?ds. one cut a few capers out in left for Fisher and incidentallv struek put lwfig:- when a hit meant more than hard-cash, Hogan drove it safely twice out of as many times at bat. Dunleavy's error was the result of dropping Unglaub's hard fiy to the fence in the seventh. Hodson made a run, a hit and a clever sacrifice and ‘will Vslu'lkei l’cudl'I a hrnlse in salary.

LOS ANGELES, May 23.—Three singles, a double, a base on balls, a hit batter and a bunch of errors were responsible for the seven runs piled up by Los Angeles in the fifth inning. Kane's wildness and the er- rors of his support all came in a banch. Both before and after the fifth he pitched geod ball. Shugart fielded and batted in roor form. Waddell was touched up for three hits in the first inning, which, coupled with an error, gave the visitors their only runs. They could do nothing with Rube after the first. Hannivan played second base in place of Raymer, who is suffering from a fractured rib, sus- tained at Sacramento, and which he did not discover until to-day.

PLUCKY BOY PUTS BURGLAR TO FLIGHT Cracksman Breaks Into the Residence of Captain Batchelder, on Cen- - tral Avenue. Louis Dickman, 13 years of age, put a burglar to flight in the home of his uncle, Captain N. P. Batchelder, at 310" Central avenue, Thursday night. Dickman and his mother, Mrs. C. Dickman, the well- known singer, live in the house. The family had gone out to spend the evening, leaving the boy and the house- maid in charge. Young Dickman retired early to his room on the second floor and was awakened about 11 o’clock by a noise downstairs. Opening the door of his room he saw a man walking stealthily up the stairs. Quickly seizing a revolver loaded with blank cartridges, Dickman fired twice and the burglar jumped over the banisters and disappeared. The shots attracted the attention of Spegial Officer Delmer, who hurried to the houze, but could find-no trace of the burglar, who had effected an entrance through a rear window. of the delegates in the Alcazar building : 1s expected that the committee on parade | contest in 2:081-5.

This event has become an annual affair and will be played on Decoration day of each year. George Whitney is the present cham- pion, but instead of merely defending his title as in_the other championships, he will be called upon to go_through the rounds of the tournament. Being a cham- plonship event, it will be open to all, and there will undoubtedly be a large number of the park experts on hand to take part. The tournament will commence next Fri- day and will be finished on the following Sunday. All matches but the finals will be two sets out of three. The finals will be three out of five. Whitney is expected to win again without much trouble, but there will be some interesting matches when the crack players of the park and the club experts come together. This is _the off season for tournaments on the California Club courts and none will be held there until next winter. The only events during the summer are the State and coast championships to be held in July and September respectively. The second of a series of class tour- naments for the challenge cups will be held to-morrow on the park courts. The holders are Will Allen of the first class and Kenneth Marr of the second. The cups are to be won three times. The forty- four men who entered the first tourna- ment are the only ones eligible to take part in future matches. Several of the local club cracks were anxious to play fa one of these tournaments, but the fact that it was closed kept them from trying conclusions with the park players. The drawing for the tournament resuit- ed as follows: First class, preliminary round—G. K. Bates vs. L. R. Thiebault. First round—J. A. Code vs. H. E. Routh; W. D. Geary a bye; W. B Lee vs. W. Al- len; Charles Dunlap vs. T. W. Tetley. Second class, preliminary round—M. Campbell vs. Scott Lewis; A. Beyfuss vs. Kenneth rr; G. Reading W [urner. rst round—L. W, . L. Smith; J. B. Adams W A be on e bs vs. C. Coleman; L McFarland; C. Griffin vs. Philip Martin vs. D. W. Kamp; w. Twiggs a bye; G. Eacret vs. H. A, | Turner; G. F. Osborne vs. W. McKenna: | J. M. Baker vs. A. Play Harry Bae: vs. Ed Finnigan; T. D. Black vs. E. Leilach; G. A. Cummings vs. B. McFar- | land; E. Miller vs. G. James. The_first class ‘will without doubt be won by either Allen, Routh or Dunlap. Allen is favorite and will probably again win the cup. In the second class the play- ers are evenly matched, but Kenneth Marr is a slight favorite. The organization of a club among th=a park players was a good move, and in future the tournaments will be rumn oit much more smoothly than in the pa: This club will probably have the larges: membership list of any tennis club in the West. The doubles tournament for the cham- pionship of the Academic League will be played this morning at 9:30. he singles were won by Polytechnic High School last Saturday, and that school is a strong fa- vorite in the doubles. The absence of Rosenberg of Lowell makes it rather easy for Polytechnic. Roscnberg and Beyfuss would have given Geary and Mann a hard fight, and many were of the opinion they would win. Rosenberg’s place will be ta- ken by Arthur Jones. The latter was a good player at one time, but at present is out of practice. The following teams have entered to- day’s event: Harry Gorham and Leonard Cutler, California School of Mechanical Arts; N. Ambrose and Esterly, Berkeley High School; Henry Mills and G. Ridley, Trinity School; C. Lewis and M. Epstein, Alameda High School; Hinds and Smith, Oakland_High School; Will Geary and Hcrace Mann, Polytechnic High Schoel; Alec Beyfuss and Arthur Jones, Lowell High School.
