RANSCH 8t. Louis Bookmaker Will Make Good Of- fer for Rider. W. B. Jennings Heads the List of Winning Owners. To-Day's Races. 1 Tired of sending good horses to the post and seeing them beaten through the in- competency of riders, Barney Schrel- ber will make an effort to secure the ser- vices of J. Ransch for mext season. The contract held by Burns & Waterhouse on the crack lightweight still has a year to run. As the local firm may not send a Jowerful string East next spring, Barney will try to make some sort of a dicker with them. The St. Louis breeder and bookmaker says he will have the greatest stable that ever sported his colors next geason. Besides Otis, which many think ehould have won the last Chicago Derby, Dewey and Geheimness, he looks for big things from his crop of coming 2-year- olds. Singleton, who rode the Schreiber porses in many of their races the past geason at St. Louis and Chicago, was a three-panel rider from the Texas or Ok- jahoma “bush,” whose only idea was to get his mofint away in the lead and tip- toe it to death. Green Morris' Sombrero, the mainstay of the stable, will probably be laid on the shelf for some time. While out gal- joping the other morning the colt struck himeelf, inflicting a nasty cut that will prove bothersome. Eddie Jones will probably have the mount on his father's horse, Gibraltar, in the first event to-day. The yearlings from Theodore Winters’ Rancho del Sierras will be sold to-night at the salesyard of Fred H. Chase & Co., corper of Van Ness avenue and Market sireet. They are said to be an especially fine lot and are attracting much atten- tion. The feature of the racing the coming week will be the Christmas handicap, at one and a quarter miles, with $2500 in add- ed money. Among the likely starters will be Corrigan, Homestead, Articulate, Ve- suvian, Cunard, Nones, Hermencia, Dide- rot, The Fretter and Searcher. During the thirty-one days.of sport at Ingleside ending with Saturday last, the New California Jockey Club has disbursed the sum of $96,854 in stakes and purses eamong horsemen. When the money given sway at other meetings is compared with tkis, they look ridiculous. Following is a list of the stables that bave won more than $00 to date: W. B. Jennings & Co.

LONDON, Dec. 2L.—The British steamer North Point, Captain Drake, which sailed from Philadelphia December 3, arrived here yesterday and reported, having on board the crey of the German steamer Pure Oil, Captain Dix, from Hamburg, December 4, .for Philadelphia, which foundered December 14. The North Point bad the Pure Oil in tow for five hours. team W. L. 60; A. Nie- N the presence of several hundred spectators at the Reliance Athletic Club, Oakland, yesterday afternoon, Champion Harry Forbes-boxed four rounds each with Willie Bourne and Leuie Long. The little ¢hampion made a decided hit with those in attendance, their approval of his clever work being shown by liberal applause after each round. Forbes has a style which is attractive to the followers of boxing. He carrles himself like the topnotcher he is and shows in his every move he has come by his title honestly. In his WOrk(Wllh Bourne there was not the chance to get a good line upon the Chicago boxer, as he tcok matters easy. He showed enough, however, to please those in the gymna- sium. When Louie Long stepped into the ring there was a decided stir, as though all expected some going, In this they were not disappointed. The boys were cautioned not to go fast, but they had hardly started before things began to warm up, and Manager Hertz was com- pelled to caution Forbes, fearing the lit- tle fellow might sustain some injury to his hands. Being larger and heavier than the Easterner, Long had the advantage, but he could not keep the little fellow away from him, try as he would. One thing with Forbes which was pleasing vias the finished manner in which he de- livers his blows. There was no swinging, each blow shooting out straight and al- ways going to the spot aimed at with such speed as to make it difficult to fol- low the movement with the eyes. Though the eight rounds were by no means tame, at the conclusion of fhe last one Forbes was breathing naturally, TELLER FAGES HARD GONTEST Senator Goes Home to Manage Fight for Re-election. DENVER, Dec. 21.—Senator Henry M. Teller arrived heré from Washington to- day to spend the Christmas holidays and to look after his interests in the contest for re-election. The State Legislature which will convene January 7, will select a successor to Teller. In addition to Te ler the announced candidates are former Scnator Wolcott, Frank C. Goudy of Den- ver, District Judge Walter N. Dixon of Pueblo and Irving Howbert of Colorado Springs. Teller claims the entire Democratic vote on joint ballot, and probably will get it, as there is no one opposing him in the Democratic party. The remalning four candidates will ~divide the Republican support. Goudy clalms to have pledged about two-thirds of the Republican mem- bers of the Legislature, and this claim is said by well-informed leaders to be not teo sanguine. A great deal depends upon the outcome of contests now before the State Canvass- ing Board. Should the Democrats be scated the House will stand: Democrats 32, Republicans 23. On the canvassing beard are two Populists, elected through fusion with Democrats. Failure to ac- cept propositions for fusion held out by Populists before the recent election has placed the Democrats in an attitude of | unfriendly relationship with the Populist | party, and it is feared they will revengs themselves now through their representa- tives on the canvassing board. The sickness of Representative-elect Jones, a Republican, at Hot Springs, Ark., also complicates matters. Should he be compelled te remain away and the Democrats be seated the vote in the House would be a tie. Columbia Club Scores. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club held its final shoot for the year yesterday. At | the annual team match A. H. Pape car- ried off the honors, winning the chieftain- ship for the third time. Score of the win- ning team: Al Cady, captain, five shots with pistol and five shots with rifle, elght men on a side, 685, against 703 for losing team. Club scores, rifie, 200 yards—A. B.

Though he took on three pounds on the trip West, Forbes will ex- perience no difficulty in making the pre- scribed weight—115 pounds at 3 o'clock. After his road work yesterday he was nearly at weight. Forbes is to box fifteen rounds with Frankie Neil at the Reliance Athletic Club to-morrow evening for the bantam- weight champlonship. Neil' has been training for a month for the contest, and by many he is thought to have an excel- lent chance to win from the Chicago box- er. Eddie Smith, boxing instructor for the Reliance Club, will be the referee. One bet of 100 to 60 was made yester- day, Forbes, of course, being favorite. It is expected the odds wiil go to 10 to 5 or 10 to 4. With Neil's reputation for ag- gressiveness the fight gives promise of being sensational. TRAING BURIED IN THE SNOW Mountain Lines Slowly Recovering From Blizzard. DENVER, Dec. 21.—The blizzard that raged on Friday and Saturday in Eastern Colorado and Wyoming and Western | Kansas and Nebraska was the most seri- ous in vears to the railroads, as far as All trains on the Union Pacific and Bur- lington roads were delayed at least twen- ty-four hours, and some trains due yes- terday morning were just getting into Denver to-night. This is true of trains over the Kansas Pacific branch of the Union Pacific. Along this line snowdrifts from six to ten feet deap made the move- ment of trains impossible until the track could be cleared. Perhaps the storm was most severe on the Denver and Alliance branch of the Burlington road. This line runs to the Black Hills, and trains which left Den- ver on Friday were not released from their wedged position in the drifts until to-day. e train, which was completely hidden from sight by the snow, was re- lieved by snowplows from Alllance, Neb. A supply train was run from Mercer, Neb., with fuel and provisions to provide for the needs of the imprisoned passen- gers. It required the hardest work im- aginable to reach the stalled train through the blinding storm and almost impenetrable drifts. The attention of the railroad officials to- day has been directed almost exclusively to getting the trains going on schedule time again, and by to-morrow it is ex- pected the usual .conditions on the Bur- Iington and Union Pacific will prevalil. MISS EDYTHE NEWLANDS’ BETROTHAL ANNOUNCED Nevada Stateman’s Daughter Will Marry Private Secretary Joknston. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—The engage- ment of Miss Edythe Newlands, daughter of Representative Newlands of Nevada, to Charles H. L. Johnston, son of the late Dr. W. W. Johnston of this city, was an- nounced to-day. Miss Newlands is a granddaughter of the late Senator Sharon, and one of the heiresses of the Sharon estate. Her stepmother, the present Mrs. Newlands, is a sister of the late Ward McAllister of New York. Mr. Johnston is a graduate of Harvard and until last spring was a professor in that institution. Since then he has acted as private secretary to Mr. Newlands. The latter probably will succeed John P. Jones as Senator from Nevada, he hav- ing been indorsed by the Democratic con- vention, and that party obtained a md- Jority of the Legislature chosen last No- vember. % L Last Act in Gore Case. PARIS, Dec. 21.—The order dismissing the case against Jean de Rydezwski, in whose apartment ‘Mrs. Ellen Gore was shot November 19, has been sln'ne? BOTH CAMES END IN SAME MANNER Nationals Have No Fear of Schmidt’s Fast Curves. Catcher Mike Kahoe Badly Injured and Will Play Here No More. e The pride of the California Baseball League bowed itself out for the year yes- terday on two occasions. The preliminary bow happened on the Oakland battlefield when the good children were at Sunday school and the final bow was pulled off at Recreation Park, while the sun was doing a hide and seek act with a few straggling banks of fog. The Natlonal Leaguers bowed our lads out in a hedrt- less manner, 7 to 2 in the morning and 4 to 0 in the afternoon. Oakland was simply outplayed in both games and did not leave a chance to run first. The big leaguers hit the ball hard. Fast base running and fielding did the rest. Oakiand settled down again and played an excellent.game in the field, but lack of base hits cost them both battles. Donovan was in the box for the star tos- sers at Recreation Park and he made that Ozklard bunch look like a crowd of tramps. Seven men hit nothing, three hit safely and as many walked. That tells the tale of Oakland’s twenty-seven chances at the bat. Schmidt, for the natives, was bumped rather freely and the Nationals could al- ways punch his assortment to remote corners of the lot when men were on bases. Gorton worked behind the bat and ke worked well. The big fellows did not steal a base on him and quit trying after he winged a few of them out at the second station. Mike Kahoe, the Natiopals' catche® was hit on the right hand by a foul tip in the second and retired in favor of Sullivan, who was forced to part company with a party of friends in the grandstand. Ka- koe's hand is split to-the bone and he will not be able to touch a ball for three months to come. Joe Cantillon has wired to Kansas City for Kling of the Chicage National League Club to come out and take. Kahoe's place. If Kling cannot come it is prob- able- Tommy Leahy will be engaged to finish the season with the Nationals. The score: OAKLAND. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. E.

Payne of this city is under arrest and the police have made every effort, without success, to induce him to tell what caused the death of Miss Anna B. Hill, a well-known school teacher in the pub- lic schools, who died in the doctor's of- ‘fice late yesterday under mysterious cir- cumstances. An autopsy held late last night revealed the fact that she was in a delicate condition and there were strong indications_that an anaesthetic, admini tered preparatory to performing an opera- tion, was the cause of death. Dr. Payne was at once placed under arrest, but refused to admit that he had given the woman chloroform. Miss Hill came from Novelty, Mo., sev- eral years ago, and from letters found among her effects signed “Mc” and dated Colony, Mo., it is belleved she was to have been married to the writer early next month. ¥ : —_— ‘Will Remove Grade Crossings.

In the deciding course she met Santonin and shut him out pointless, the scors be- ing 6 to 0. In some of her other trials she did not win so decisively. She beat Pep- per Hill -6, Lady Menlo 87, Flying Fox 14-8 and Jingle Bells 5-2. The open stake was won by Mad o’ ths Glen. She defeated Conroy in the decid- ing course by a score of 5 to 0. The latter was a slight favorite In what proved a heavy betting affair. Brilliancy, the For- tuna-Favente youngster, held her own until the semi-final round, when she was retired to the kennel by the ultimate win- ner. By a curious coincidence the two greyhcunds which worked their way into the declding course had each rum for 23 seconds. : The kares proved a strong lot, and the majority of the trials were severe tests. Twenty of them lasted more than one minute and seven of these lasted more than two minutes. A number of hounds had to be withdrawn.
