GAME BY THEIR CARELESS WORK Amateur Athletic Union Of-1Qaklanders Win the Contest ficials Have It in Charge. Police Will Be Asked to Aid in Suppressing the Betting. HE Pacific Association, Amateur Athletic Union, met last night in the Olympic Athletic Club. No action was taken by the as- sociation in regard to the Ahrens-Peterson boxing scandal beyond referring it to the registration committee, which meets on the 24th inst. E. J. Lynch, representing the Ariel Rowing Club, stated that im- mediately after the suspiclous bout last week at the Mechanics' Pavilion Annex the boxing committee, suspecting that Peterson had allowed himself to be “knocked out,” called a meeting and de- cided the affair had a suspicious look. It was intended to investigate the fake at the mee;lng of the Ariel Club next Mon- y_night. he Olympic Club, through its board of directors, notified the association that it has & monropoly of the room where it holds its meetings and also that it takes up the time of the doorkeeper receiving applicants for boxing permits. The as- soclation appointed a committee to seek other quarters. The annual meeting and election of the association will be held on the second Friday in October instead of the third Friday in September as heretofore. An immediate endeavor to stop betting at amateur boxing exhibitions will be made by the boxipg committee of the as- societion. At the request of the various clubs the committee will wait upon Chiet of Police Wittman to ask his co-operation in stopping the practice which has lately become so prevalent at amateur bouts. It threatens the existence of the sport. A complaint charging M. Byrnes of the Ukiah High School with being a pro- fessional was filed by James F. Sturte- vant, secretary of the Academic Athletic League. It is alleged Byrnes raced for a prize of $12 50 at Mendocino City. The matter was referred to the registration committee. A protest from the Twentieth Century Club objecting to the payment of a $% sanction was voted down.

The alumni team is made up chiefly of the men who played in the Olympic Club team last year. The case of Albertson, the giant cap- tain of the Berkeley football team, who has been endeavoring to be reinstated on the list of eligibles for the sport, was practically decided yesterday.

The Governor says “the matter wiil receive careful consideration,’” and Mayor Grainger says, “I will assure you there shall be no violation of the law.” Attorners for the Southern Athletic Club advised Manager Gray to-day that the fighters cannot be enjoined and that the articles of agreement are in accord- ance with the State law governing box- ing contests. ciation DR.

Lucky Mishap Stops Leaders From Scoring in First EFORE the Ponies could rub the B sleep out of their eyes and awakea to a full realization that they were in a baseball mix-up, vesterday, P. Loh- man’s suburbanites had three men scat- tered about the bases in the first inning. AlcCreedie was resting on the first sack, Streib was at second and Kid Mohler was dancing on his toes at third, waiting for a chance to skip home. There was but one hand gone. It seemed the Oaklanders would score a few times before the locals would get out of dreamland and into the game. Fortune, however, came to their assist- ance and the fans were relieved of the fear of Oakland scoring in a most mirac- ulous manner. Hurlburt hit an easy fly toward third. Phyle sprinted for it, and as it appeared almost certain that he would capture the ball the three runners held their bases. Phyle stumbled and fell. Before the men on the bases could take advantage of the mishap Shay picked up the ball and threw it home, thus forcing Mohler out at t? plate. It was quickly 1eturned to Whalen, who was guarding third, and Streib was forced out there. This double play retired the side. After being thus strangely rescued from the enemy the fans felt certain it was on the card for the Ponies to win. That they did not is due to their own slovenly and careless playing. Whalen pitched pen- nant-winning ball. He allowed but four scattered hits. Not until the last inning were the leaders able to get their one lone tally on the board. They gained it through a wild throw on the part of Phyle and the slowness of Nordyke in geiting the ball home to head off Mc- Creedie. In this inning McCreedie led off with a hit. Hurlburt flew easy to Phyle. Dev- ereaux sent a grounder to Phyle, who threw wide to Deimas at second, thus al- lowing McCreedie to get to third and the batter to reach second. The chances of victory for the home team appeared blue. Franks hit a speedy one to Delmas, who fumbled it, but recovered it in time to catch the runner at first. . When Del- mas miscued, McCreedle started for home. After catching the ball, Nordyke held it for a second or two to make sure that he had it. His tardiness cost the hiome team the game, for it gave Mc- Creedie time to cross the rubber. Schmidt had fine control, and, like his opponent, allowed but four hits and kept them well distributed. As Dunleavy was busy nursing a sore jaw, Hurlburt, the utility man, was delegated to look after left garden. Score: SAN FRANCISCO.

Holds Down the Sacramento Batters .and Wins for Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12.—Baseball of a clean, snappy variety was served up by the Looloos to-day, and the result was disastrous to the Sleuths. Cutter was hit freely, while Mills was in good form. That tells the tale of Fisher's defeat. There was some clever fielding, however, without a suspicion of yesterday’s nu- merous fumbles. The visitors’ single tally was made on Casey’s single to right, which was stretched for three bases when the ball bounded over Lawler's head. Sheehan followed with a liner over second base.

ACRAMENTO, Sept. 12.—Three score or more of Knights of the “Grip and Gall,” sprinkled In among the regular gathering of racegoers, installed additional noise and life into the game at Agricul- tural Park this afternoon to do honor to drummers’ day. A race for named horses to be driven by commercial men was served up on the menu for their special benefit, creating more or less amuse- ment. It was taken by Toots, the pronounced tavorite in the betting, driven by Harry Bell, with Rosie Gold, over which Emil Helnrich held the ribbons, captur! sec- ond money. In the second heat Toots ap- peared as uncertain as a duck boat, and Helnrich landed Rosie an easy ner. No records were lowered, the best time recorded being 3:40. At the commence- ment of the race F. A. Johnson seized last position with Maggie C. No amount of persuasion could influence the mare to relinquish it in the two heats following. The other events were all well contest- ed. The specidl trot won finally after a six-heat struggle by Zambra, owned by L. J. Rose Jr., resulted in a dump for the knowing ones, who got in wrong and were kept as busy as curbstone brokers getting out. Of the four favorites in the running events, Gaviota and Coming Event were the successful ones. Farmer Charley Bunch and his mare Lady Fair were responsible for the troubles of the speculative element in the betting on the trot. In the early wagering done the daughter of Gossiper brought $20, with the fleld going at $11, at which quotations the insiders filled up. It did look pretty good for a time, as the farmer and his mare took the first two heats like break- ing eggs. The mare looked tired and blown at the termination of the sec- ond heat, although her admirers kept on purchasing at odds of even money against the field. It was sald the Lady was af- flicted with the “‘thumps.” This was pos- sibly true, for in the third heat she fin- ished fourth, stogpln to a walk almost the last sixteenth, Shelby winning from Zambra in 2:22. The latter, handled by Delaney, now loomed up as a likely can- didate and took the next three heats and race in clever fashion, selling favorite against the fleld. Then followed the run- ners. CHILENO WINS THE SPRINT. A six-furlong sprint, with a field of ten going to the post, saw El Primero stable’s Autumn Time close a 3 to 5 chance. Wil- e 2 a2 2 e R S 2D SIED CPITIL FAOM BEMDUAL Former District of Co- lumbia Governor Dies in Mexico. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—A private telegram received Tere this afternoon from Batopilas, Mexico, announces the death there of Alexander R. Shepherd, who was vice president of the Board of Public Works of the District of Columbia during the territorial government of the District in 1871 and two years later Gov- ernor of the District. He was 67 years of age. The cause of death was peritonitis, brought on by an attack of appendicitis. Mrs. Shepherd, accompanied by her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Frank Merchant, who reside in Washing- ton, were informed of the serious fllness of the Governor yesterday, and left at once for Batopilas. Shepherd, as the executive officer of the Board of Public Works, in spite of vigor- ous opposition, began and successfully continued improvements in all parts of the city, with the result that Washington became a magnificent capital. To the Governor is given the credit for nipping in the bud the agitation for the removal of the .capital to some Western city, which was warmly agitated at one time. At the expiration of his term as Gov- ernor in comgany with New York capital- ists he purchased the old hacienda Ban Miguel silver mines, at Batopilas, which in later years have proved profitable, and where he had since resided. He leaves a wife and seven children.

No lives were lost along the lower Columbia. For the past thirty-six hours a dense canopy of smoke has hung over the northwestern part of Oregon and South- western Washington and navigation has been rendered extremely difficult. In con- sequence the steamship Columbia is stranded in the,river at a point six or eight miles east of this city and reports received here are that she is in a serious predicament. Captain Crang of the river steamer Bailey Gatzert says that he passed the Columbia on his way down this evening. The steamship had lost her bear- ings and was fully a mile out of her course. She had managed to get in be- hind a sandbar and it is feared great dif- ficulty will be experienced in liberating her. How the Columbia ever got into her position is a mystery to CEPtnln Crang, who says he would be at a loss to reach her with a vessel of light draught. LOGGING CAMP BURNED. Last night the towns of Svensen, Or., and Skamokawa, Wash., were threatened with destruction, but the changing of the wind saved them. At Svensen the flames were almost upon 5,000,000 feet of logs at C. C. Masten's camp, but only 100,000 feet were destroyed. At Skamokawa the mill and logging camp of the Willamette Pulp and Paper Company were destroyed and tne loss there prcbably will reach $10,000. From Slatskanie, Or., west, a large tract of timber land is reported to have been burned over, but the danger that threat- ened the towns in the vicinity has now passed. Many farmhouses are said to have been destroyed, the inhabitants flee- ing for their lives. For a time it seemed that the entire town of Svensen would be lald in ashes, and the residents were ready to leave with their valuables. Skamokawa was in a similar predicament for some hours. Near Fort Columbia, the new Govern- ment post, great fires raged, and assist- nce was sent thither from this city and %‘ort Stevens. Toward morning the dan- ger passed. South of Astorla severai small fires are still burning, but it is be- Leavitt, 1. P. Allen, Walter Morrill, J. W. Cornell, J. Eames and W. J. Kenny.

LONDON, Sept. 12—Danny Maher, the American jockey, scored a clever victery in the race at the Doncaster September meeting to-day for the Park Hill Stakes. He landed Elba a winner by half a length from the famous Sceptre, on which 4 to 10 against had been laid. Elba started at 10 to 1 against. Maher, on Rondeau, later won the Prince of Wales Nursery Plate Handicap, scoring against twenty-five others. lieved the worst is over. LIKE A FALL OF SNOW. It is estimated to-night that 15,000 acres of timber land has been burned over, but i e S e et L S50 amage can be ed. That the loss wfllbx\‘;)l'\exceed $250,000 in this vicinity is robable. pwhlle there were no fires within six or seven miles of the city a shower of ashes fell during the morning. For three hours the ashf: was s0 heavy that it resem- bled snow, covering the ground to a depth of a quarter of an inch. There was great fear among the timid, many actually be- lieving their time had come. The weather, was quite cool to-n!!ht and there are indications of a rainfali within twenty-four hours.

Like all of the returning Montana_horses, Sink’s x’ug;l St. Winni- fred, a full sister to St. thbert, was touted as a wonder and carried almost as much coin on her chances as the favorite.

At that, she led to the stretch, where (?tfi“!, on the favorite, assumed command, fa.llopln in_first b{ three lengths in :01%. Show honors fell to Delsegno, with Ransch in the saddle. Billy Magrane's mare Nellle Forest jolted the talent hard by romping in an easy winner of the mile and a sixteenth seui’n affair, stepping off the distance in 1:47 flat, She was almost overlooked in the rush to get aboard Alicia, Goldone and Cromwell, the last horse closing fa- vorite at odds of 9 to 5. He broke last and was never prominent. Tommy ‘Walker, with the leg up on Goldone, cut out the running to the bend for home, where he was ;;raduauv collared and downed without difficulty by Collis on the Magrane entry. Morinel dropped in third, MOANA IN BAD RACING LUCK. Jimmy Logue made a home run with Coming Event, favorite for the concluding six-furlong sprint. He broke away in front of his fleld with the mare and was never pressed at any stage of the run- ning. Call Bond, an 8 to 1 shot. led out Windward for the blace.

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.—1he density of smoke from forest fires in various parts of adjacent country districts is increas- ing. People everywhere are anxiously watching for a change in the wind, in- dicative of approaching rain. So.tar but little hope has been given. Though the barometer has been Ialling steadily, but slowly,.all day the light breeze is north, ‘Poward midnight a slight change could be felt and it was hoped that this meant that the wind was veering to the south- ern quarter. To this time but little damage has re- sulted in this vicinity, except rectly. ‘Transportation facilities on all sides are badly impaired and communication with many counties is cut off. Nearly all mails are late. The most serious fear is that Enumclaw, a little town just south of Se- attle, will be entirely wiped out by the fires, People coming intwo the city to- night, though, report that but a few houses and oat flelds have been burned. The citizens are all fighting the fire in the woods near by, and so far have suc- ceeded in stopping its approach toward the town. Captain Bryant, federal inspector of hulls, well known all along the Pacific Coast, and A. P. Stockwell, a wealthy log- ger, had a thrilling ride yesterday after- noon. For a half hour they rode through an area of timber, roaring with fire. Burning trees fell on every side, but the travelers were successful in reaching the outskirts in safety. A five-minute halt at any point would have resulted in their death, So flerce were the walls of flame flanking either side of the road. HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 12.—The forest fires now raging in the mountains of ‘Western Oregon and Western Washing- ton are probably the most widespread ever known. A northwest wind last night and to-day fanned the flames and spread them over new districts. Within a ra- dius of seventy-five miles of this city five &‘Z“"“’ are reported missing and it is lleved they have perished in the flames. They are Mrs. Hendrickson and two chil- dren, at Fifth Plain, Clark County, Wash- ington; L. C. Palmer, Bridal Veil, Or., and — Trickey, Brewer, Or. The flames have driven many families from their homes and it is known that many houses and barns and much live- stock have been destroyed. At Lents, six miles east of here, sev- eral houses were burned to-day and the line of the Oregon Water Power and Railway Company to.that village has been disabled. At Bridal Veil, thirty miles east of here, two sawmills were burned, and in Clack- amas County, near Springwater, at least fifteen houses and barns have been de- stroyed. In Clark County, Washington, ten miles from Vancouver, eight farm houses were burned and three lives are reported lost. n this city the houses are covered by ashes and the lights had to be turned on early in the afternoon on account of the thick smoke that enveloped the city. The wife of John Myers, a farmer, was burned to death in their home in Clark County, Washington, Vyesterday. DARKNESS AT MIDDAY. OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 12—At midday the sun refused to give forth light and styglan darkness enveloped the town. Terrible forest fires are devastating the country surrounding = Olympia. At 9 o’clock this morning it began to grow dark and by 10 o'clock the city was in complete darkness and inose places of business that did not suspend turned on their electric lights. Work was suspended in mills and workshops and laborers con- gregated on the streets and discussed the unusual phenomenon. The staruing fea- ture was the changing lights in the sky. At one time it would be blood red in the east and at another time in the west; then from east to west and at times disap- pearing entirely, leaving the sky as dark as the earth. Considerable nervousness was observed on the streets. While for- est fires are expected every summer, noth- ing like the present ones have been known in this country. So wrought up are some that they anxiously inquire: “Is Mount Rainier in a state of eruption?” Some advanced the idea that an eclipse was on. Lofglns camps and shingle mills are burning in all directions from town, as are dwelling houses and barns. The head of Puget Sound is a seething mass of flames and unless rain comes it is hard to tell where the damage will end. A Becond Day Advent camp-meeting is in session here and the unusual condition has given rise to great excitement. Many believe the last day has come, and in white slippers and robes the elect are awaiting the coming so long looked for. Reports from surrounding towns say that the people are congregated in and about the churches. . PART OF TOWN DESTROYED. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 12.—Late re- ports from sgrlnswfier state that sixty ersons are homeless. All of the coun- Ery known as the Rocky Point section is burning.

TRIES T0 KILL ENTIRE FAMMILY Nebraské. Man Takes Lives in Former Wife’'s Home. PIERCE, Sept. 12.—Last night Gottlieb ‘Nfegenfind shot and killed his former wife, Mrs. Anna Peters; shot six times at Albert Breyer, her father, who died this morning, and shot the wife of Breyer in the shoulder, seriously and perhaps fatally wounding her. After the shooting Niegenfind left the house and meeting Mrs. Peters’ sister, Lena Breyer, at- tempted'a criminal assault. Mrs. Peters had beea divorced from her husband two years and he was thought to have left the country. He appeared at Pterce on Sunday, however, and later paid several visits to the Breyer farm, where former wife was living with her parents. He went to the reyer home last evening and engaged his father-in- law in a quarrel, the trouble being over Niegenfind’s children. Mrs. Breyer ran from the house just as Niegenfind drew a revolver and fired at her husband, who re- ceived five bullets in the body.
