L THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1902. GANS-WFADDEN FIGHT IS THE MOST UNSATISFACTORY IN YEARS NEW CHAMPION MAY APPEAR ON THE COURT | Tennis Players Are Practicing Assiduously for Coming Tournament Competition George Whitney Must Play a Strong Gam: to Defend His Title With Success I California will be played on the courts of the Hotel Rafael, San Ra- fael, July 2, 8 and 4. It will be a scratch singles event, open to all. Play will com- mence at 10:30 a. m. Wednesday. The final match for the championship will be played at 2:30 o'clock on the 4th. On the morning of the 4th there will be a conso- lation doubles tournament for the benefit of those beaten in their first match. Two silver cups have been donated for the championship event and suitable prizes for the consolation. Beals Wright, who is ranked second in the United States this year, may possibly play bere next week. It was Mr. Wright's intention to come to California in July, but it is not known whether he will ar- rive in time to take part in ths tourna- ment. His presence in the tournament would a2dd greatly to the interest of both the players and the spectators. When the Easterners were here three years ago Champion Whitney was not at his best, and ever since has been anxious to re- d himself. He was beaten casily by who in turn was beaten by Sum- ner Hardy. Wright has improved in the last two years, and the majority think Whitney would have no chance against the clever Easterner. The cracks have been practicing hard for the la two weeks for next week’s event. George Whitney, the present cham- pion, has done little practicing during the ¥ p to the present week.

It is only a matter of a few days when it will be at its best under existing conditions. Big Meadows has again attracted a number of well known anglers. Alex Vogelsang, N. L. Coombs, C. P. Eells, Carter Pomeroy and the indefatigable A. B. Finch are all in this great trout fish- ing district. It is so difficult of access that market fishermen find it unprofitable tc go there, and but little fish is shipped out. Those taken are usually of good size. Charles Huyck has sent some fine trout down from Boca. Dr. F. J. Lane and George Lane go to Boca on Monday. Fred Bushnell, who has been under a doctor’s care for some time, is expected heme to-day from the springs. C. Gould has spent his usual holi- days on the Upper Sacramento and re- ports the tishing excellent. Mark Goodman of Floriston has been enjoying great sport recently. He sent down a fine box of fish on Wednesday, averaging more than a half pound each. C. 1. Lagercrants and wife are spending their annual vacation on the Calaveras River. Jeff Wells sent a fine box of trout from Boca some days since to Dave Thom. The fish averaged more than half a pound. Sam Heller landed a sixteen-pound sal- mor. at Le Moine some days since on a “spinner."” James G. Chesley, Walter Burlingame and Willilam Morrison caught four saimon at Monterey last Sunday. Two of the fish weighed thirty pounds each. The same sportsmen will fish near Capitola to-morrow.

WASHINGTON, June 27.—Surgeon Gen- eral Forwood has received a report from Lieutenant Colonel C. L. Heismann, chief surgeon, division of the Philippines, in re- gard to the health of the troops in the archipelago for the month ended May 15 last. According to it, the percentage of sick is at the lowest figure yet reached in the division, 6.01 per cent, as compared with 6.24 per cent the previous month. A large increase is reported in the num- ber of deaths, both from injuries and from diseases. The increases in the former class were due largely to the battle at Bayan, Mindanao, and in the latter class to cholera. RULING OF THE COURT FAVORS THE CREDITORS San Jose Judge Sets Aside the Dis- charge of Insolvency of Mrs. Emily C. Yoell. SAN JOSE, June 27.—The discharge- of insolvency of Mrs. Emily C. Yoell, wife of J. Alexander Yoell, a pioneer lawyer and capitalist, was set aside by Judge Rhodes this morning, and crediiors now have a good chance to obtain a portion of the $200,000 which it is alleged she re- ceived from her husband. Mrs. Yoell commenced a divorce suit on the ground of cruelty in April, 1897. The Yoells fin- ally settled their differences and the case was dismissed a few months later on the agreement of Yoell to pay his wife $5000, of which she was to receive $2500 on the day of dismissal. This $2500 was to be applied on the claims of certain urgent creditors. Four days after the dismissal of the suit for divorce Mrs. Yoell filed a peti- tion to be declared insolvent. The sched- ule showed that she owed bills amounting to about $25,000 and had no assets. She made no mention of the receipt of the $2w or the payment of certain creditors. Shortly after her discharge as an in- solvent debtor Mrs. Yoell became the owner of one-half of the property held by her husband, which it seems was com- munity property and which was valued at Judge Nhodes holds that the act of Mrs. Yoell in receiving $2500 a few days before petitioning to be declared insolvent and paying certain creditors, of which she made no mention in her petition, was one of fraud and preference under the insolvent act. The creditors will attempt to collect from the property Mrs. Yoell now owns. TWO SWIMMERS PERISH IN LONG BEACH SURF Overcome by Breakers and Strong TUndertow and Carried Out to Sea. LONG BEACH, June 27.—Howard Long, aged 20, son of J. M. Long of Phoenix Ariz., and E. E. Hayslip were drowned off the Long Beach wharf while swim- ming late this afternoon. J. J. Cox, a restaurant-keeper of Long Beach, who was with the two, was rescued by boat- men when exhausted and ' partially strangled. The three men were overcome by ths heavy breakers and strong undertow and were carried out to sea from the shallow water where they were swimming. Long and his companion attempted to battle with the tide and make the shore, but were soon - exhausted. Long was dead when the boatmen reached him, and Hayslip was beyond the possibility of re- succitation, The third swimmer, Cox, was familiar with the power of the current and al- lowed himself to be carried out beyond the breakers, where he was rescued in a half-drowned condition.

Far- man third and Edge was fourth. CHAMPION STOPS - OPPONENT IN THIRD ROUND Since then Gans has been on the upgrade and has, ap- parently, not yet reached the zenith of his power. Fadden, on the other hand, has obviously been on down grade. The contrast last night was a pitiable one. There was never a moment from. the time the gong sent them together until George Tuthill threw up sponge in the third round when McFadden had a chance. in the parlance of the ring, and did not deliver oae effective blow.

He kept this rapid fire up for nearly a minute and it was a miracle McFadden did not succumb to it. seemed Gans did not take advantage of all his chances. Before the second round had fairly started there was a concerted movement of the spectators toward the door. They were all on their feet yelling ‘“Fake! fake! fake!” at Gaps had McFadden wabbling early in the round and scored two clean knockdowns. In the third and last round Gans punished McFadden He was up again and staggered to terribly. He knocked him clean off his feet with a right to the jaw. McFadden was no sooner up than he was knocked down again. the center of the ring. He tried but the elusive Gans seemed never where he expected to to find him.

WASHINGTON, June 27.—A caucus of the Democratic members of the House hxeld to-day adopted the following resolu- tion: “Resolved, First, that we condemn the Republican majority in Congress for their failure to pass a measure providing reci- procity with Cuba. The bill whigh passed the House of Representatives was heart- ily supported by the Democratic minority after the protection to the sugar trust had been removed by a sond vote, aided by a small minority of the Republican members. As it passed the House, the bill carried relief to Cuba, reduced the price of sugar to American consumers and struck a heavy blow at the notorious and obnoxious trust. The refusal of the Re- publican Senators to consider this meas- ure unless the protection to the sugar trust should be restored, glves evidence that the President and Republican party in Congress are willing to refuse relief to Cuba and_totally igrore American con- sumers rather than abandon their alliance with the trusts. The failure of all reci- procity legislation with Cuba rests upon the Republican administration, which is willing to reduce the duty on the raw pro- duct of our producers, but unwilling to destroy the sugar monopoly. “Second—That the Republican majority in Congress is dominated and controlled by the trusts and monopolies which have the industries of our country in their grasp, is shown by its action in passing an anti-trust bill through the House of Representatives of ‘the Fifty-seventh Congress in the closing hours of the ses- sion, the Senate refusing to consider the same as a subterfuge to tide over the election of 1900. That bill has been aban- doned and they have ever since refused and do now refuse and fail to bring in any measure to suppress the trusts or to favorably report any of the numerous anti-trust bills introduced by Democratic members during this Congress. “Third—That we favor the passage of a measure to amend the present anti-trust law so as to more fully protect trade and commerce against uniawful restraints and monopolies, and also a measure to reduce the duties on all articles and com- modities manufactured and controlled or produced in the United States by a trust or trusts, so as to destroy such illegal ccmbinations and to reduce the rate of duty on any article or commodity manu- factured in the United States and sold in a forei, country more cheaply than in the United States. i “Fourth—We oppose the adjournment of Congress until the measures mentioned abcve have been enacted into law.” The caucus lasted only an hour and was devoted to a discussion of the terms of the foregoing resolution, which was drawn up by Representative Jackson of Kansas and presented by Representative Griggs of Georgla, chairman of the Dem- ocratie, Congressional Committee. A number of speeches were made arraigning {he majority in Congress and in support of a strong Democratic declaration. Rep- resentative Richardson of Tennessee, the Democratic floor leader, was among the speakers. At the close of his speech the resolutions were adopted unanimously. Late Shipping Intelligence. SAILED.

[ STORM AOARS AT GALVESTON Thirty-Mile Gale Slightly Recalls Old Dis- aster. GALVESTON, June 27.—The wind and rain storm which struck Galveston last night continued with increased Intensity until this afternoon. The wind held steady from the south- west and reached a velocity of sixty-five miles in one and two minute gusts dur- ing the %arly portion of this morning. The tide was not dangerously high, being but two feet above normal, but the storm, which originated in the West Gulf and passed on the land with its center fully fifty miles west of Galveston, made itself felt on the island. To-night the wind is blowing _thirty miles an hour, but the Weather Bureau states that it will veer to the west by morning and produce clear weather fur Saturday. The only damage reported in Galveston was the burning out of fifteen motor cars by the water getting into the electric machinery. AMERICANS IN FRANCE GIVE ABUNDANT COIN Remarkable Report on Amount of Money Obtained for the Me- Kinley Memorial. PARIS, June 27.—Judge Leicester Holme, honorary secretary of the Paris auxiliary to the McKinley National Me- morjal Association, has just transmitted to the secretary of the association a re- markable report covering the transactions of his branch from the inception of the work to its close on the 1st inst. The ccntributors to the Paris fund were, with a few exceptions, Americans now living in France. The individual subscriptions varied in amount from 1000 to 5000 francs, the only donation of the last named sum being made by Frank L. Gardner. Jo- seph A. Bailey, the circus man, gave 1000 francs. Embassador Porter ana Consul General Goudy were also large contribu- tors. Only six States in the Union Lave so far contributed as much as Judge Holme secured from the American colony in_the French capital. Judge Holme, whose wholly gratuitous efforts brought about this striking result, is a retired New Yorker. He was the redecessor of Judge Augustus Var Vyck as Judge of the City Court of New York, but left the bench a number of years ago and has since lived the life of a true dilettante in his beautiful residence in the Bols de Boulogn; P i Peculiar Death at Avalon. LOS ANGELES, June 27.—P. L. Turner of Bisbee, Ariz.,, where he is sald to own valuable mining interests, dled at Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, to-day, under pecu- llar circumstances. With his wife he ar- rived there to-day and went into camp. In the afternoon the couple went rowing. After an hour on the water they were re- turning and as they neared the shore ‘Turner arose in the boat and fell back- ward into the water. His wife extended an oar toward him, but apparently he was unconscious and paid no heed to it. ‘His body was recovered within a few min- utes, but although skilled physicians worked over it for an hour and a half, .| applying every known remedy, no signs of life ‘could be detected. It is -thought he may have been attacked by heart failure. ey Religious Institutions Must Close. PARIS, June 27.—At a Cabinet meeting beld at the Elysee palace this morning resident Loubet signed a decree closing the religious institutions which have not complied with the provisions of the law of associations. One hundred and thirty establishments are involved. Instructions on the subject were sent to the various prefectures this afternoon. SRR T T . No Heirs to Hill’s Estate. LOS ANGELES; June 27.—Charles Hill appears to have told the truth when he said to the nurses in the Good Samaritan Hospital that he had no relatives and no friends in the world.

Fast and Thrilling Game Finally Won by Oakland After Some Lively Plays Score Is Often Tied and Result Seems Doubtful Tili the ~ Eigh'h Round HILE James Morley glides over \A/ the rails, comfortably quartered in a Pullman, his ball team con- tinues to glide down the well greased toboggan. Oakland is, at present furnishing the grease for the rapld de- scent. Ewing’s men have already handed out three pacgkages of the real juice, do- ing the turn yesterday to the music of a 9 to 5 march. It came near being a brilliant game | even from a scientific point of view. The only thing which failled to make it so| was the numerous misplays of the An-| gels. From the standpoint of the ordg- nary lover of the national amusement it | was the goods. It was brilliant in spots, ragged in ‘'some tight places, but the gen- uine excitement and real enthusiasm were there at all times. Up to the eighth inning the spoils be- longed to either side, and if any of tne numerous spectators’ were asked about the result they would take on a wise ex- pregsion and say, “You can search me. After the eighth the Angel fire was| quenched by a cloudburst of Oakland tal- lies, which reached the number of five when the third man was sent to the tim- ers. The second inning produced the first| Oakland run, which resulted from To- man's error and a pair of singles by | Francks and Dunleavy. McCreedie and Devereaux singled in the fourth and then worked a pretty double steal. Dunleavy | got a rap on the head, filling the bases. | Francks drove one to Hartwell, who re- tired McCreedie at the plate and doubled up Francks at first. Gorton’s well placed | sigie sent sDunleavy and Devereaux home, when It looked as though no Oak- land runs were coming. Up to the sixth round Hodson had the | Angels locked in the coal bin. Hartwell started the fun in the sixth by beating out a little drive to second, Toman sin- gled over third and kawler hit to right field. Jackson delivered a hot one, which Hodson could not handle, and Hartwell scored. Hauseholder sent a grounder to Devereaux, who threw to second to re- tire Jackson, but Mohler dropped the ball | and Toman 'scored. Lawler tied up the | score by scampering in on Reilly's hit | post short. | The Oaklands again took the lead by | making one run in their half of the| sixth, but the Angels were there with a | pair in the seventh. This made the score 5 to 4 in favor of Los Angeles. The crisis came in the eighth. McCree- die beat a slow one to first and Deve- reaux advanced him to third by a single to right field. Dunleavy bunted and Me- Creedie scored, Dunleavy reaching first | on the attempt to retire the runner at| the plate. Francks hit an easy one to Toman, who fumbled the ball, and the bases were full. Gorton placed a nice hit past second base, | which put Devereaux on the safe side of the rubber. Householder picked up the ball and made a grand throw to the plate to catch Dunleavy, but Anderson muffed the ball and Dunleavy was safe. Hod- son struck out, but Mohler hit for two bases, which brought in Francks and Gor- ton. Both Reilly and Devereaux played su- perb ball at third, accepting several hard chances without an error. Mohler fur- nished the star play of the day in the ninth. Lawler hit an apparently safe one past first base. Mohler made a great sprint and succeeded in picking up the ball with his left band and throwing the fleet footed Lawler out by a foot. The score: OAKLAND. ® Mohler, 2b. . Lohman, c.
