Householder Is Removed From Grounds by the Umpire. HE crestfallen southern contingent, I shy the services of the versatile Rube Waddell, who is now touring to the land of Connie Mack's Phil- lies, ungraciously accepted their third consecutive drubbing yesterday at the hands of the Pony stable. The game was slow and the weather cold. The Ponies had a cinch on the finish from the second explosion, when the graceful Oscar Jones was good enough to ascend in the direc- tion of the heavens long enough to allow the locals to ride over the lot for six runs and four safe bingles. Hartwell was substituted in the third and gave a grand exhibition of slab work. He allowed but a pair of lonely safe cracks and no one was fortunate in get- ting four of bad quality from him. Per- haps if Hartie began the game a different story would have to be written about the result, but many peculiar incidents go to make ball games and yesterday's struggle was no exception. Elmer Meredith was appointed by Har- ris to puzzie Morley’s all-star bunch and he had them in the clouds all the time. He was punched safely only three times and these were scattered along the line like milestones in the old country. His control was the best, for he walked but one man and, strangely enough, this was the first man up. The stellar attraction of the day was the ejection of Captain E. Householder from the lot. It came to pass in the sev- enth round, when the newly elected leader of the Angels strenuously objected to a close decision at the first cushion. He made some vulgar remarks and O'Connell fined him one five-spot. He persisted in being eloquent and this time the umpire ordered him off the grounds. After much delay and more sulking the premier slug- ger got wise and left the grounds. The fatal second innng clearly tells the story of why Morley did not run first. A base on ba ifice by Holly, a bats- man hit and four clean singles put six of the Harris stable over the uncertain hur- dles. Another was added in the sixth on two costly misplays by Hanlon and An- derson, who both dropped thrown balls at eritical periods. Meredith would have retired the south- erners with a lone tally had his support been like the article of ball he han The first run was scored on Holl error of Jackson's drive and the two in the last spasm were the result of two jug- gling stunts which Danny Shay thought he could palm off for the real goods.

He was s0 deliberate that he drove the spectators to desperation and nine innings of listless, insipid ball playing ensued, that sent half the fans who were present to their homes before the game was half over. Umpire McDonald was as slow as the pltcher and made no apparent endeavor to hurry the game along.. The leaders won by a score of 4 to 2. Thomas should not have been allowed to pitch, as e has not recovered from his recent fllness and was lacking in control. The game was featureless. The score i SACRAMENTO. { AB. R. BH. SB. PO A.

Bourdette Loses His Irish Setter Prince, Known to a Host of Sportsmen. Jochn W. Bourdette, the attorney, has lost by death his great Irish setter Pringe. For six years the well known ¢porfsman and his dog have been insep- arable companions in the field. Whether it was on the marsh in quest of the royal canvasback or on the upland after the game California quail, or again in the snipe patch, Prince was always equal to the occasion. He was perfectly trained for field shoot- ing by his owner, and his clever, intelli- gent work was always a source of pleas- ure to those who saw him in action. On Sunday, while in a field near his owner’'s home at Belmont, he was bitten by & rattlesnake. There was a slight swelling, to which Mr. Bourdette paid but little attention at the time, thinking it was the sting of an insect. On Monday the Aog was worse and was removed to this city for treatment by a veterinary sur- geon. He lingered until Thursday, when lie died. He will be buried on his owner’s place to-day with due honors. COMPANY B OF THE CITY GUARD ENJOYING ITS SUMMER OUTING Soldier Boys’ Tents Are Pitched in a Romantic Spot in il the Hills Near Larkspur. ARKSPUR, June 20.—Company B of the City Guard is enjoying a month’s encampment here among the picturesque hills and vales, in plain view of Mount Tamalpais and a panoramic vista of passing yachts upon the bay. The boys of the company are to be compiimented on their gentle- manly behavior. The leading citizens of Larkspur and vicinity have extended un- bounded hospitality. Last Saturday even- ing the Guards gave an informal enter- tainment in their camp, which more than 200 ladies and gentlemen attended. On Sunday Colonel O'Neill and staff, in uni- form, “visited the camp for inspection, found it strictly military and commended the officers and privates for their efficien- cy. Afterward a dinner was partaken of which would have been a credit to the best rotisserie in San Francisco, The company is to give a ball to-morrow evening in Messner’s Hall. Lieutenant W. W. Kelly is the commanding officer of the company and is assisted by Lieuten- ant John O’Keefe, L B o e UMPIRE RETIRES DILLON FOR TALKING TOO MUCH Expresses Hisiopinio-n—, of a Question- able Decision in the Game at Detroit.

Y., June 20.—Vio- lent practice, time trials and the usual hard preparation the university crews have been going through preparatory to the boat races are finished. The varsity race for to-morrow is re- garded with great perplexity. If popular Jjudgment, with but a small proportion of out-of-town people present, is taken, Cor- nell is the favorite.” Up to late this after- noon Pennsylvania and Columbia were the favorites for second place, but after to-day’s performances Wisconsin has come rapidly to the front and is looked upon as a formidable bidder for that po- sition. Some assert that Wisconsin and Cormeli will fight it out for first place in the varsity race to-morrow. It is under- stood seats on the observation train have been entirely sold. If the weather is falr the crowd of spectators will be the largest ever known in the history of the Pough- keepsie course. —_——————— . Corbett-Sullivan Fight Is Off. DENVER, June 20.—The proposed fight between Young Corbett and Dave Sulli- van was officially declared off this even- ing on account of the recent action of the Fire and Police Board in forbidding box- ing exhibitions, Manager Gallagher of the Coliseum_Athletic Club paying the $500 forfeit. Later it was announced that Corbett and Sullivan have agreed to fight before the West End Club at St. Louis, July 3. Charles Haughton, president of the club, is in the city and is said to have secured the necessary agreement with the fighters. They are to weigh 127 pounds at 5 o’clock and will fight for 50 per cent of the receipts, $5000 being guaranteed. e Fisher Fails to Make Good. SACRAMENTO, June 20.—Michael Fish- er, manager of the Sacramento baseball team, arrived home this aftérnoon from the East, where he went to sign new baseball players for his club. Although a telegram from Ogden last evening said he passed through that place with four players, no one left the train in his com- pany this afternoon. When asked for the names of his new men, Fisher would only give the name of Stricklett, who, he said, would be here next week. He declined to give the names of the other players, saying they had to jump Eastern con- tracts and he would not tell who they were until they had “jumped.” —_———— Occidental Club Handball.

REFEREE HEACOCK FILES REPORT IN BANK CASE Decides What the Stockholders Are Entitled to Receive of the Re- maining Funds. Special Referee E. H. Heacock submit- ted his report yesterday to United States District Judge de Haven in the case of M. R. Morgan and others against the Cali- fornia National Bank of San Francisco. The action was brought for the purpose of obtaining a distribution of the money to the stockholders of the bank and of the funds belonging to the bank in the hands of T. K. Stateler. The referee decided that Thompson and ‘Wilson had waived their right to share in the fund now in the possession of the agent; that R. P. Thomas was not bound by the agreement of dismissal in the stockholders’_suit brought by Chetwood; that R. P. Thomas was at the time of the failure of the bank the real owner of 1020 shares of the cagltal stock, and that as such real owner he was liable jointly with the record owner for the assessment levied by the Comptroller on the said 1020 shares. The referee finds the total in- debtedness to be $24,379 88, which repre- sents the amount to be paid by the re- maining shareholders—that is, 2000 shares less the 625 shares owned by 'Thompson and Wilson. Each shareholder who has paid more than $17 73 per share is entitled to receive back the amount he has paid in excess of that sum- < DAWSON COMES TO CONDITION FITZSIMMONS Former Lightweight to Head His Staif of Trainers. Will Settle Down at Skaggs Springs at Once. EORGE DAWSON, who will have G charge of the training of *“Bob" Fitzsimmons for his forthcoming championship fight with James J. Jeffries, arrived yesterday afternoon from Chicago. He was met at the ferry by Fitzsim- mons and his young son and by Billy Jor- dan and others. Sporting men who re- member Dawson as the noted lightweight boxer who nearly killed Denny Needham with his kidney punches in the old Cali- fornia Athletic Club ring will not recog- nize him. ! He has the broad shoulders and the general appearance of a middle-weight. He shows no signs of the great work he did -in the ring, fighting his way to the top of the lightweight division. For some years he has filled the position of boxing instructor of the Chicago Athletic Asso- ciation. He has been Fitzsimmons’' sec- ond in his last two fights. Immediately upon his arrival he was taken to the California Hotel, where Fitzsimmons and his wife and little boy are registered. The entire party occupied a box last night at the California Theater, where the Neill company is presenting “Captain Swift.”” They will return to Skaggs probably to-morrow, when Fita- simmons will settle down in earnest to the dull routine of training. The weather has been so warm that Fitzsimmons has been doing his work at 5 o’clock in the morning. During the mid- dle of the day he takes matters easy. At 4 o'clock he goes through his work in the improvised gymnasium. The sides of this are open, permitting a free circulation of whatever air is stirring. INJUNCTION IS DENIED. Prizefight Promoters Fail to Secure Restraining Order. J. D. Gibbs, Edward Wilson and James Neil cannot get an injunction restraining the police from interfering with their pro- posed contest at Mechanics' Pavilion on the 25th unless they file a new complaint. In this they must show the police have kpowledge of such an affair and intend in- terfering with the promoters. The suit for an injunction came up,yesterday be- fore Judge Sloss. The court sustained the demurrer interposed by the Chief of Po- lice and the Sheriff and gave the attor- neys for the promoters ten days in which to amend their complaint. Wittman and Lackmann demurred to the complaint for an injunction on the ground that it did not state sufficient cause for action. They filed affidavits In which they stated they had no knowledge that the plaintiffs were about to promote a fight and were not preparing to interfere with them. —_—————— Bay City Athletic Club Boxers.

RAIN MARS THE SPORT AT ROYAL ASCOT RACES Johnny Reiff Pilots Victor Don Un- der Wire First—Maher and Jenkins Win. LONDON, June 20.—The return of the rainy weather to-day dampened the spir- its of the occupants of ‘the country houses at Windsor and around Ascot. The at- tendance at the races was in no way com- parable with that of the earller days of the meeting. The Ascot highweight stakes was won by Victor Don, ridden by J. Reiff. The Duke of Portland’s William The Third (Cannon) won the Alexandra plate; Osboch (Maher) was second and Amer Picon (Rigby) third. Six horses started. The principal race of the day, the Wok- lnshfim Stakes (handicap for three-vear- olds and up, six furlongs), was won by an outsider, His Lordship. Papdale was second and Pinnar third. Twenty-five horses started. The starting gate refused to act in the contest for the Wokingham stakes and only about half the starters were away properly and completed the course. There was some discussion as to whether the race ought to be run again, but the stew- ards decided this was not necessary. Leopold D. Rothschild, the owner of the favorite, Vatel, subsequently lodged a protest against the event being declared a race. The pretest was overruled. Arthur James’ colt by St. Serf-Eisted- ford, on which Maher had the mount, won the Windsor Castle stakes. Fowling Plece (C. Jenkins) won the for- ty-ninth triennial stakes. MES.

John Milton Evans, proprietor of a sa- loon at 116 Eddy street, who is being sued for divorce by Elizabeth Evans on the ground of infidelity, filed an answer yes- terday denying his wife's charges. In a cross complaint he asks that he be grant- ed a divorce on the ground that their mar- riago is illegal, having been, he alleges, performed at Reno in July, 1899, three months after Mrs. Evans had procured a divorce from J. B. Kenny. John A. Townley, who was sued for support by his wife, Clars E. Townle;;. has consented to pay his wife $30 a month.

The vessel arrived here during the month of July, 1901, and on the 30th of that month the unloadirig of the ship was stopped by Crder"of McNear because the teamsters were on strike and no men could be had to move the cargo. It was testified that 1850 teamsters had gone on strike and that it was unsafe for any person to drive a team without permission of the Team- sters’ Union during the pendency of the frouble. The delay in unloading the ship was claimed to be unavoidable on the part of the consignee. The case was sub- mitted on briefs. — —————— Wall Paper Firm Fails. Jerome B.

SILVER CUPS FOR THE PARK TENNIS MEN hird Tournament Is Scheduled for To= Morrow. Players Are Training for Independence Day Matches. HE third tennis tournament for the silver challenge cups will be ptayed to-morrow on the Golden Gate Park courts. The players are divided into two classes and the matches will be as foliows: First class: Preliminary round— W. D. Geary vs. W. B. Lee; H. E. Routh vs. T. W. Tetley. First round—L. R. Thierbault vs. Will Allen; George Bates a bye: James A. Code a bye; Charles Dun- lap vs. W. Hotchkiss. Second class: First round—A. McFar- land vs. G. Reading; L. D: Roberts vs. W. F. Stapff; G. F. Osborne vs. E. P. Finnigan; R. W. Turner vs. C. Griffin; H. Baer vs. H. A. Turners G. A: Cummings vs. G. Touchard; E. F. Lielach vs. L. C. Bezart; G. Janes vs. Philip Martin; Scott Lewls vs. T. D.

Averell vs. Charles Foley. In the first class the cup was won by ‘Will Allen the first time and by Charles Dunlap the second time. It is expected the ‘trophy will go to one of the two eventually. In the second class Kenneth Marr won the first tournament and M. C. Campbell the second. The former did not lay in the last tournament, and it is cubtful which of the two will win. Grif- fin is improving rapidly and stands a good chance in this class. The Park Tennis Club is planning a series of doubles tournaments. o “sil- ver cups have been donated and will be rlayed for until won three times by one team. Only members of the club will be eligible to play. b 7Two important events are scheduled for the Fourth of July. One will be played on the Hotel Rafael courts, San Rafael, and the other on the Hotel Mateo courts, San Mateo. The former will be a scratch singles tournament for the State cham- plonship. The State tournament was in- zugurated last year and was won by George F. Whitney. Play will begin on the morning of the 2d and the final match will be played at 2:30 on the afternoon of the 4th. There will also be a consolation doubles for those beaten in their first match. Valuable prizes have been offered for both events. George Whitney has de- cided to enter the singles tournament and is a strong favorite for championship honors again this year. Besides the best players of the California Tennis Club 1many of the crack players from the park nn:l from Alameda County are expected to enter. The San Mateo tournament is the first of the kind ever held In that county, and will undoubtedly be an interesting event. Only those will be eligible to enter who have been residents of San Mateo County at least two months prior to July 4. The tournament will commence on the 3d and Le finished on the following day, when the final match will be played. A handsome silver cup has been offered, and must be won twice successively before becoming the permanent property of any player. The Gutte cup was finally disposed of last Tuesday on the courts of the Ala- meda Tennis Club, when it became the property of Miss Emma Hunter. The winner took the cup three times in suc- cession and thereby proved she is easily the best lady player in Alameda County. Miss Hunter's opponent on Tuesday was Mrs. Kincaid, who played an excellent ame, despite the fact that she was suf- ering with a sprained hand. The match was pronounced one of the best played by women in many months. The score in Miss Hunter's favor was 6—4, 2—§, 6—L. he lcser played a strong net game, but ter opponent’s swift chop strokes were usually out of her reach. By virtue of this victory Miss Hunter becomes cham- pion of Alameda County for the present year. The three park courts that were oiled last week are In excellent condition at present. The remaining courts will be put in the same condition shortly. TAX COLLECTOR SMITH ENJOINED FROM SELLING United States Circuit Judge Morrow is- sued a restraining order yesterday against Tax Collector E. J. Smith, com- manding him to cease further proceedings in the matter of the contemplated sale of the property of Wells, Fargo & Co. for delln}uent taxes for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1902. The company alleges that it was assessed arbitrarily in the sum of $750,000 for its franchise, which assess- ment is alleged to be Inordinately in ex- cess of its actual value. The company asks that the assessment be set aside. A _similar injunction, pending the pro- ceedings In the suit of the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company against Tax Collector Smith, was issued by Judge Morrow. The company alleges that the assessment of $1,500,000 on its franchise is $1,200,000 In excess of the actual cash value of the same and asks to have the assessment set aside. —_———— Loses Suit for Damages.

IKE DONOVAN of Rochester knocked out Tim Murphy of Aus- tralia in the last half of the last round of a scheduled fifteen-round fight last night before the Acme Club of Oakland. The combined shock of a swift left to the jaw and the force with which Murphy’s head struck the floor after re- cetving it put the Australian in dizzy land for flve minutes. Murphy was aggressive and willing all the way. He started the crimson from Donovan’s left eye in the first round, and geveral times during the contest the Rochester boxer was watching his op- ponent with but one good lamp. Donovan showed to the better advan- tage at Infighting. Murphy displayed good foot work and was quick to follow ug his attacks. Donovan knocked Mur- phy down four times during fourteen rounds, but appeared reluctant or _too weak to go in and finish his man. Onece in the third round Murphy caught Domno- van ,napping, stepped in and dazed Mike with a volley of stiff lefts. Donovan saved himself until the bell came to his relief. Both boxers took a severe drub- bing and showed remarkable recuperative powers. Phil Wand was referce. The men weighed in at 152 pounds. In the preliminaries Spike Foley defeat- ed Joe O’'Neil and Curley Greenwood lost to Young Choynski.
