THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1902. 5 BOXING, BASEBALL, COURSING, RACING, SHOOTING AND OTHER SPORTS OF THE FIELD SENATORS PROFIT BY MANY ERRORS MADE BY PONIES Dick Williams of College Fame Makes Debut With Locals and Twirls Well Shay’s Muff Gives the Game to Visitors With Two Men Out in th2 Twelfth OR twelve rounds the San Franciscos and the delegation from the city of s and strife bunched together 1l brands of ridiculous baseball. There was a little of everything sand- wiched in between each spasm, and when it was all mixed up together #the affair actually became exciting. The local tal- ent could not stop making errors, so Sac- ramento again pulled up first to the post with a score of 7 to 6. There really was.no reason why the struggle should have been prolonged for three additional spasms, but the win- ning run held aloof when the occasion seemed ripe for some doings. The Sen- ators did not win on their own merits, but profited by the miscues of the Pony stable. Dick Williams, the star curve dispenser of the University of California, decorated the slab for the Ponies and pitched an article of ball which would have beaten Connie Ma team with any kind of support. The youngster was game, how- ever, and with the worst kind of back- ing kept the Senators from scoring for eight long innings. Wi s is built after the pattern of s Rube Waddell.

Time of game—: Umpire—McDonald - THIRTEEN-INNING TIE. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2).—To-day’s game between the leaders and the locals was one of those nerve-racking contests seldom seen on a ball field. For thirteen innings, until darkness put a stop to fur- ther proceedings, the 2000 fans sat on anxious seats, one moment yelling for the home team and the next despalring of success. Mills started in to pitch, but after three men were sent to first an balls and three others hit the ball into as many corners of the field Mills concluded he had enough, and gave way to Oscar Jones, who pitched in his usual good form. There was plenty of batting, however, on both sides and all sorts of close deci- sions. Lohman and his team protested vigorously against some of O'Connell's rulings. The most trouble occurred in the tenth. Reaching first on four wide ones, Hurlburt started a steal on the first ball pitched to Dunleavy. In striking at it Dunleavy interfered with- Roach and the catcher threw wildly to second, allowing Hurlburt to reach third. Roach protested to the umpire, claiming Dunleavy had purposely swung the bat in his way. O’Connell said he saw it, called Dun- %es\'y out and sent Hurlburt back to first base. Instantly Lohman and the entire Oak- land team gathered around O'Connell, shouting and gesticulating. ~Dunleavy placed his hands on O’Connell's shoul- @ers and shoved him back. For this he was sent to the bench and a few mo- ments later ordered off the grounds. O'Connell drew his watch on Oakland and the leaders reluctantly returned to work. The score: LOS ANGELES. AB.

Frank Shugart, second baseman of the lccal ball team, and Billy Phyle, the Pony third baseman, became tired of hit- ting at baseballs and just to change the monotony started out Thursday night to try their hands at a few highballs along the line. Both became well under the influence of the exhilarating fluld and were arrested about midnight at the cor- ner of Powell and Ellis streets. : They were locked up for the night and appeared be?:-re Judge Conlan yesterday morning. His Honor was lenient and let them off with a lecture. Manager Harris immediately released Shugart and severe- Iy reprimanded Phyle. Delmas will play second base for the Ponles in place of Shugart for the present at least. Phyle was not feeling well and did not play yesterday. Pat Meany, the new fielder from Toledo, Ohio, has arrived and will be in the game to-day. He will be played in left field, and McHale will adorn the bench.

HAVERHILL, Mass., Aug. 29.—The three days’ Interstate Trap*Shooting As- soclation tournament came to an end here to-day. Horace Kirkwood of Boston scored the highest, breaking 195 birds out of a possible 200. J. F. Fanning entered in only five of the ten events, with scores much lower than those of his competi- tors. The speclal event was the 25-bird handicap, fifteen men participating, with Fanning and Leroy on the scratch. Kirk- wood, however, won the event, breaking 8 out of 100 birds. — McGovern Talks of Weight. CINCINNATI, Aug. 20.—Jimmie Britt of San Francisco to-day challenged the win- ner of the Corbett-McGovern fight for 45000 a side at 133 pounds. McGovern re- plied that he was not a 133-pounder, but weighed 123. He followed this statement with an offer to back Eddie Cain at 133 to 138 pounds, or Artie Simms at 128 to 133 pounds, for $000 a side. EDDIE HANLON, THE CALIFORNIAN BOXER, CLEVERLY DEFEATS RAUCH, THE CHICAGOAN Knocks Him Down Repeatedly in the Fifth and Sixth Rounds, When Police Stop Proceedings-—Barry Knocks Out “Cyclone” Kelly After Two Minutes’ Hard Fighting DDIE HANLON, the California bantamweight boxer, stopped Mor- ris Rauch, the Chicagoan, handily last night in the sixth round- of their fight at Woodward's Pavilion. The clever young' boxer from the windy city was not knocked out. He was knocked down several times when Captain of Police Anderson entered the ring and stopped hostilities. Hanlon undoubtedly proved a surprise to his opponent. The latter showed all the style of the showy boxer accustomed to the whirlwind work of four and six- round bouts. Hanlon represented the fighter, expending none of his energy ex- cept when he planted his gloves on the head or on the body of his adversary. Rauch’s favorite blows were uppercuts, which did not always reach their intended mark, and a right for the body. This lat- ter usually landed on Hanlon's side and did not seem to hurt him. Rauch was probably out of condition for the bustling bout it proved to be. larded with fat. This was apparent when Hanlon made play for the stomach, as Rauch could not assimilate the blows as he would if he were ribbed with muscles. Hanlon sent two hard blows to the stom- ach in the fourth round which turned the tide of battle in his favor. He kept after his man relentlessly and wrestled him down near the end of the round. Rauch was noticeably in distress. There were several spells of the fiercest kind of slug- ging, in which either boxer might have gone to the floor at any moment. The gong saved the Chicago boy in the fifth. He received a right uppercut in a clinch which sent him to the mat. Eight seconds had been counted off when the gong sounded the end of the round. Throughout this round Rauch was appa- rently waiting patiently for an opening through which he could sneak a knockout nuncfh, The opportunity never presented itself. Hanlon went in to end matters in the sixth round. They had been at it but a few moments when he sent Rauch down, scoring with right and left to the head in rapid succession. At the end of three sec- onds he was up again, fighting to stall off inevitable defeat. Hanlon's arms were swinging like flails and a right and left io the head again sent Rauch down. He stayed down elght seconds this time. Hanlon went at him again and soon had him down. Captain of Police Anderson then stopped proceedings. Rauch was bleeding about the face, but was in no danger of being seriously injured. ‘While in training he was badly cut un- der the right eve in a boxing bout with Monte Attel. This did not improve his appearance. The fight between Dave Barry and Cy- clone Kelly was one of the shortest ever seen here. The clumsy boxers had been at it about two minutes in the first round when Barry made a wild swing with his left hand. He caught Kelly under the eye and sent him over backward. His head hit the floor of the ring first. The con- cussion completed the knockout, as Kelly was unconscious several minutes. When his scattered sense finally re- turned his first question was: ‘“Who win?” It was some time before he was able to leave the ring. Barry was almost as sur- prised at the sudden ending of his engage- ment as was Kelly. The fight between Frank McConnell and Spider Welch went ten rounds. It was awarded to McConnell for his aggressive- ness. He was leading continually, the Spider generally contenting himself with F% His body seemed * RISON OFF:lCIALS RISK TE countering. They were at it from bell to bell without a moment’s respite. Welch proved clever at blocking and developed a right punch which usually found its mark. = Welch's nose began to bleed in the second round from contact with Mc- Connell’s head in a sharp rally. The little fellows stood up and slugged in each round and, although both were unsteady on their feet at times, they managed to last until the end. Welch was the fresher when the end came, but the honors went to McConnell on® his showing throughout the fight. Before the main event there ‘was a brave show of boxing celebrities in the ring. Jimmie Britt was introduced as the man who “will fight Erne for the white lightweight championship.” Young Peter Jackson, looking as black as night; Neill, Williams and Russeil were among those presented to the small attendance of spectators. E. J. Smith refereed the main event, Jim McDevitt officiating in the other two. Both gave satisfaction. ot = CALIFORNIA BANTAM-WEIGHT BOXER WHO DEFEATED RAUCH. BUSHNELL PHOTO. £ Continued from Page 3, Column 7. Call—take my words, my remarks down—it is the scurrilous remarks of The Call. The Court: Q.—What is your explanation of that bill? A.—That Lebenbaum & Co. at the end of the month were—we required state- ments from all the merchants, statements, not . but statements, day by day, containing ing the month. I got I went to Lebenbaum times 1 think it would be right—to get from them these bills. There is jute contract and jute non-contract items—commissary contract, commissary non-contract—for that month, and I went to the clerks and they were willing— they seemed so dull or stupld— Preston: (Interrupting.) baum & Co.’s clerks? A.—Yes sir, I am talk- ing about those clerk;, They were unable to segregate the four different accounts; they had them mixed up. I gave them the amount, not the items of each amount; they had them so mixed up that they said, you had better take billneads and make them out yourself, t. ".Q).‘You did take billheads? from Lebenbaum & Co. .—Then who made out those bills for you? ATt has the appearance of Webber's hand- writing, Q.—Was it under your direction? A.—Yes, sir., Q—Where did you get the items to fill in that amount. A.—They came from the invoice book, goods bought from Lebenbaum & Co. during the month, and the reason I make this statement is because I saw in the scurrilous remarks in The Call— The Court: Q. —(Interrupting.) You say those goods were received at the prison? A.— Yes air, Mr. Preston: Q—And will show on your invoice book when We get it here? A.—It ought to be there. The Court—It will be there because it was copled from your invoice book? A.—Yes, sir. Mr. Preston: Q.—They will be on your in- voice book, there is no doubt about that? A.— It ought to be. Q—Ought to be. Are they? A.—My mem- ory will not carry me back so far. I want to say—to explain, this is one of the instances. There is only one thing for me to explain further. I want to say directly and with most positive force that the billheads of every mer- chant in town when I went there as commis- sary, the billheads of every merchant in town were lying around there, and I took and tied them together and have got them yet. The Court—We don't want to go into all the affairs of the prison. Mr. Preston: Q—There had been irregular practices in San Quentin before you went there —that is what you mean? A.—I don't know. Mr. Preston: Q—Now, that is true, the same statement and the same reason apply to another bill made out against the California State Prison under the same date? A.—Yes, sir, exactly. Q.—Of L. Lebenbaum & Company A.— What is that, non-contract or contract A.— Contract, signed by you and the Warden, for $31 91. You make the same explanation. Yes, sir, exactly; the same, exactly. Mr. Whiting—That is contract, isn't 1t? Mr. Preston—Then you are perfectly cog- nizant when you see these bills that they are in Webber's handwriting? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—Now, then, let me show you another bill here. We show you a bill from the officlal records_brought down here by Mr. Roper from the Secretary of State's office, the Controller's office, and heretofore read in_evidence certified as correct by Vietor Gilardin, acting commissary, and by the ini- Leben- A.—Yes sir, tials of the Warden as the Warden? A.—I decline to answer that questiop. I can’t iden- tify them. Q—I know. But are not the last three items added to that bill in the handwriting Webber A.—It has the appearance, yes. - Q.—And is a different handwriting from the thirty dezen eggs forming the first item? A.— I am not an expert on handwriting. Q.—What occupation were you engaged in before you became commissary, before you went to San Queutin? A.—Hides, wool and general merchant. Y Q.—And have you ever been employed in a clerical capacity during your life? A.—I have becn engaged in mercantile pursuits since 1850, Q.—You have been engaged in some clerical capacity all that time? A.—Yes, sir, Q.—And have you seen a great deal of hand- writing in your time? A.—Yes, sir. Q —And you are familiar with it? A.—Very little with handwriting; I used to be. Q.—Used to be what? A.—T have been and T am yet accustomed to seeing different hand- “fltln?. 1 am not an expert. Q.—And from your knowledge as a merchant and engaged in commercial business since 1850 here, vou feel that you could tell the differ- ence between handwriting? A.—I could prob- ably give an opinion, but not as an expert. Mr. Preston-—I submit that under the rule that is sufficlent. The Court—You 't make an expert out of the witness. However, the paper may be ad- mitted for what it is worth. Mr. Preston—It is apparent on its face it Is in different handwriting. I was not trying to prove it was written by the same person. Q.—I show you & bill of February 26, 1901, from the office of the Controller of State brought down by the Clerk of the Controller and heretofore read in evidence in t and ask you if the certification there is : handwriting: ‘‘Francis Foley, Commissar; “‘February €, 1901. H. T. Holmes Lime Com- pany, 22 and 24 Sacramento street, To the State Priscn at San Quentin. To merchan- dise as per bill rendered February 19—to something—brick dust, 2 barrels brick dust, $2 95, %5 90; 500 firebrick—total §24 90—and I ask you if you know the handwriting of the sgecond item there, 500 firebrick? couldn’t say. Mr. Preston—Mr. Reporter, down the period for which the witness is re- quired to bring the books for the next hearing? 1 want him to bring all invoice books, stock ook, stock ledger, segregation books-—— The Witness—They are here. Mr. Aguirre had the segregation book here, I suppose, every time he came here. The Court—Mr. Aguirre has the segregation sir. Then they are in that package there, I suppose. Is Mr. Agulrre in the court room? Mr. Preston—I saw him here for a moment this morning when the court opened. Mr. Preston (to the reporter)—Invoice book, requisition book, stock ledger—and the requi- sition book showing all entries and covering all transactions from the first of July to the 30th day of June, 1902. That Is all with Mr. Foley for the present. The Court—We will take a recess until 2 o'clock now. BOOK TAKEN FROM THE COURTROOM CAUSES A DELAY T the afternoon session Joseph ‘Aguirre, overseer at the prison, was recalled to the stand. Attorney Preston began to question him about certain items in the invoice book, when he discovered that the book had been taken away by Foley at recess. Court and counsel were chagrined, but had to make the most of it. Aguirre's testimony follows: Q.—Mr. Aguirre, you were instructed to bring a book iere; do you remember it, which Bogk 1 tave. you that book? A.—I brought it here three different times. —Sir? A.—I brought it here three dif- ferent times. Q.—1 am very sorry, but have you that book now? A.—It was here this morning. Mr. Foley ht it. i -Will yog n‘rtoduce it, please. You were ed to do it? I aurt—Where s the booly Mr. Baflifr? The Ballifft—The books were taken away by Mr. Foley and the other gentleman. The Witness—Well, you examined that book, I think, this morning. The Court—Why did Foley take back that k? Mr. Preston: Q.—Didn’t you bring that book here yourself with a strap about it? A.—Mr. Foley brought it; 1 brought it yesterday, and Mr. Foley was instructed to bring it = this morning, so he brought it here this morning. Q.—And you say he took it away? A.—I think Q.—Well, do you know? A.—I didn't see him take it away; I wasn't here when he left. Mr. Preston—Well, I ask that the witness be required to make a proper showing as to the reason why he did not produce the book which he was directed to produce. A will you take ! ourt: Q.—DId you leave the book here g COURT’S ANGER in the courtroom this morning? A.—I brought the book yesterday for the third time; and I understood from the order that Mr. Foley had— Mr. Preston: Q.—(Interrupting) Well, that book that you were ordered to produce was not in the bundle Mr. Foley opened here on the @esk; it was with a strap around it over there (pointing), was it not? A.—It was in the order that Mr. Foley had. Mr. Foley was required to bring that book, o he brought the book here this morning, together with the other books which you wanted. Mr. Preston—I ask your Honor—it is the proper time that the ordinary -rules of the court governing witnesses and the production of testimony should be imposed. I think they are trifling with the court. The Court—I don’t know if there was any intention upon the part of the witness to dis- obey the order of the court; however, Mr. Agulrre, it seems to me, you should ' have known when you were ordered to bring the book you should have brought it here and kept it here. You were not told you were excused when Mr. Foley was, but you were notifled to bring that book here, and you have kept it here for some days. A.—I understood from Mr. Foley's order Mr. Foley was to bring that book back. The Court—What books do you want witness_to bring over? Mr. Preston—Mr. Duke will give him the same ligt that Mr. Foley Lias. Just take this dowp, Mr. Reporter: We want the segrega- tion’ book, the involce, stock book, the requisi- tion book and segregation book showing the transactions and entries from July 1, 1899, to this J 1, 1902, Phe \Witness—You had better give me a list of that. Mr. Preston—The commissary has ajready ot one; we will give you one. Here an adjournment of the case was taken until Saturday, August 30, 1902. RACES IN THE EAST.

The mile was within a quar- 1:59%, made by Star Poin'er at Readville five years ago. This is the fastest mile in harness in half a decade and Dan Patch horse except Star Pointer ever went so fast, and he did it only twice. Star Pointer also went once in 1:58%, so this Myron McHenry drove the famous brown stallion and his owner, M. E. Sturges, of New York watched the per- P afternoon. Dan Patch, the unbeaten ter of a second of the world's record of is the second horse to beat 2:00. No other is the third time a horse ever lowered 2:00. formance from a box in the grand stand.

FRETTY TTTT L LT LT TN e to 1 | Keene, On the eve of the race speculation ranges over a wide field, and the interest in the Futurity, so far as the public is concerned, is essentially that of a specu- lator. J. R. and F. P. Keene have five entries; all fit and each announced at 4 to 1. August Belmont has three colts, Fire Eater, Mizzen and Lord of the Vale; and Whitney and Duryea will be repre- sented by Irish Lad and Aceful. W. C. Whitney has but two entries, Medal and Payne. The former is not like- ly to start, as he is thought to be in 2l- together too fast company, while Payne, een colt, is an unknown quantity, his price being somewhere about 12 or 15 to I. Sevable, John A. Drake’s colt, will rep- resent the West. He is not considered dangerous, though Drake is said to think well of the horse's chance. John Madden had River Pilot and Merry Reel entered, but the former, it is sald, may not start, while the latter has a price of from 8 to 10 to 1 against him. With sych a field, however, the race will be a grand struggle from start to finish of the six furlongs. ,All of the most fancied youngsters in theéir trials have nregotiated the course under 1:20, but it is doubtful if any of them will beat the record of 1:091-5, made by Yankee last year. ’Tis a Pleasure To lose if you are playing cards with the new art backs.

He had shot himself througk the right temple with a revolver. It is sflm;osed that ill-health caused him to kill Rimself. An immense throng saw the exhibition. The track was lightning fast. The trial was made about 4 o’clock. A slight breeze was blowing up the home stretch, but the stallion finished strong. The fastest quar- ;’eal;twv:: tlhe ‘;;cond;‘l in :29 flat.

In an in- stant he was down at the turn, leaning in on the curve, and the runner was gal- loping hard to keep up. They were at the quarter in :30% and the runner was evenm. Then the gallant horse made his supreme effort and the way he shook that runner was worth going far to see. He was squatting low in a long stride and cutting through the air so his ears were bent back and his mane was straight out. The runner was doubling in great leaps, but Dan Patch got away and he went along the back stretch, the second quar- ter, in :29 flat, making 59% for the half. The runner caught up again and they made the third quarter in :30%, or 1:29% to that distance. Down the stretch he came in the greatest dash of his life. The last quarter was in :20%.

Alec Greggains is ready to deposit $2500 with Harry Corbett at any moment to * bind the match. Tim McGrath, who has always represented Sharkey on this coas Is conducting the negotiations on behal of the sailor. A conclusion will be reach= ed_within a day or so. Gardner looks upon the match with Sharkey as a stepping stone to one with Jeffries for the heavy-weight champion- ship. The Lowell boxer has the utmost confidence in himself. At present he seems too light to fight Jeffries, but he will not take this view of the matter. He believes he is clever enough to_avold the massive man the south. This is the more firmly impressed upon him since he saw the sensational showing made by Fitzsimmons.
