HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Jan. 14. —Young Corbett, the feather-weight champlion of the world, was given the decision over Austin Rice of New London, Conn., to- night, in the eighteenth round of what was to have been a twenty-round contest before the Whittington Park Athletic As- sociation, Just before the end of the sey- enteenth round Corbett landed a stiff left swing, glancing from the stomach, and as a result Rise was helpless. On the calling of time for the beginning of the eighteenth round “Battling” Nelson Rice's second, threw a towel into the ring and Corbett was given tne decislon, As a whole the fight was disappointing, It had been freely predicted that Rice would not stay ten rounds, and most of the betting was on this basis. The fea- ture of the contest was Rice's footwork. But for his success in dodging Corbett's vicious lunges he would nave gone down and out early In the game. Nearly every round consisted of rushes and aggressive fighting by Corbett and feinting and dodg- ing by Rice. Once the champion went to the floor, his fbot slipping as he dodged a lunge from Rice. PRl S Lines of the Cup Defender. BRISTOL, R. I, Jan. 14.—The raising of the keel frames of the midship section of the new yacht ordered as a prospec- tive cup defender was accomplished to- day at the Herreshoffs. It is now possi- ble to obtaln some general idea of the form of the craft. While her lines in many respects conform to those of the Constitution, there will be less dead rise, less curve at the starboard, the bilges will be somewhat harder and she will have a considerably flatter flood. The de- parture from the Constitution, however, is not at all extreme. ————— ‘West Oakland Club Boxing. OAKLAND, Jan. 14.—The West Oakland Athletic Club has arranged a card of box- ing for Friday night.

BRODKS' MEETING UNDER THE BAN The Los Angeles Racing Ordinance Proves Far Reaching. IMayor Snyder Will Bign the Measure Upon His Return South. RELERLSER LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.—Sporting men are distressed over the passage by the Los Angeles City Council of an ordinance prohibiting hookmaking on local and for- eign races, as it practically will put an end to racing here. With no hope of & change of front by the Council, the sport- ing men have been counting on a veto of the ordinance by Mayor Synder, who is in Sacramento. Snyder has stilled “this hope, however, by announcing in an in- terview that he expects to sign the ordl- nance on his return to Los Angeles. The Mayor sald to-day: “I have alwayg recognized the Council as the legislative body of the municipal government and never have vetoed a sin- gle measure involving the actual govern- ment of the city. I have disapproved of ordinances granting privileges, creating offices, regulating salaries and awarding contracts, and do not understand why a tions in the present instance. up this snbject on my return home by the end of the week. I was not aware this new legislation was to be enacted, and | know of no reason why I should disap- prove this new ordinance.” o Ma J. W. Brooks of the Los An- geles Racing Association attributes the age of the ordina of northern racing men, who realize,that if there Is a big race meeting at Los An- they will have to come here against wishes. t all ought to depend upon the peo- | ple,” says Brooks, “and I believe they want the racing. The small meeting held here last fall speaks best for the sport as we conduct it. Before and since thaf meeting 1 have received every encourage- ment from many of the best people in .0s Angeles. The forty-six-day meeting planned to open on the 3ist inst. would en superior in every way to the nd far surpass the racing now go- ing on at the northern tracks. 1 had just received word by wire that Durnell & Herz, one of the strongest stables in the country, would send the great McChesney nd twenty-six other runners here. I was also about to arrange to Redfern, one of the highest salaried jock- eys now riding, from New Orleans. By the prohibition of racing I stand to lose between $10,000 and $12,000. 1 have al- ready expended about $25% in bringing horses and making tmprovements. The $6000 for the lease of the park will have to be paid. All the stables here and on the way will have to be sent to the point where they were secured at my expense. The cost of this is problematical. Wheth- er the action of the Council is finally sus- tained and carried out or not, it is rather damaging. I had no Intimation of such a thing, and the time is so short that all I can do is to await results. The stake ‘events close on the 19th, and this causes dangerous uncertainty. “If it were mnot that the time for the meeting is right at hand, 1 would simply go outside of the city limits, b a _tract of land and build a race track. I.may do that vet, but unless this meeting can be brought off it is doubtful whether’ the enterprisa would succeed. The horsemen who are here, or who planned to come, would prob- ably refuse to cross ‘he continent at the risk of being fooled a CHESS AND WHIST CLUB ELECTS ITS OFFICERS Western Addition Organization De- voted to Indoor Pastimes Is Ad- vancing in Membership. At the annual meeting of the West- ern Addition Chess, Checker and Whist Club, held in its rooms at 2206 Fillmore street on Monday evening, the following officers were elected: President, Gideon P. Woodward; vice president, M. J. Kuhl; secretary, Fred Rodda; treasurer, Dr. Charles H. Bell. The three governors elected were Dr. W. F. Finnie, A. L. Norton and Mac C. Ettinger, The club was organized in October, 1901, by G. P. Woodward with a member- ship of ten. It has gradually grown un- til to-day its membership is fifty-three. This is the only uptown chess and whist club, and deserves the support of all whist and chess players, especially those residing in the Western Addition. The club is destined to become one of the largest In the city. It was in this club that Dr. Lasker, the champion chess player of the world, failed to win the largest number of games in any one even- ing during his recent engagement in this city, Raving failed to win 7 out of 22 games \ played. Duplicate and stralght whist are played every evening. During the year just closed the West- ern Addition club successfully conducted six chess and whist tournaments, inclu- sive of the affair at Native Sons' Hall on September 19, which was both a soclal as well as a financial success. The newly elected officers propose to fnaugurate prize tournaments among the members, both in chess and whist, the prizes to be awarded each quarter to those making “the highest average score. By this means they hope to dou- ble their present membership during the present year. e r—————— HORSEMAN IS REFUSED NEW ORLEANS PRIVILEGES A. P. Mathieson Must Produce at Once the Horse Hiram Johnson, an Alleged Ringer. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14—The stew- arde have refused all privileges to A. P. Mathieson, in whose name Hiram John- son, an alleged ringer, ran and won re- cently. Mathieson was given a certain time to produce the horse, which was removed from the track after the race, but has thus far failed to do so. It is believed the horse is either at Newport or Los Angeles. In order to clear him- self Mathieson has entered into com- munication with the officlals of both tracks in order to locate the horse, if possible.

When_the teams arrived in Los Angeles there was among the number a complete set of pitchers, Inflelders and outfield- ers. The boys were not in Los Angeles long before Mike Kahoe, the catcher of the National team, f-ll downstairs and was so badly injured that he had a stay on the bench for two weeks. ! From Los Angeles the ball players went to Sacramento to play exhibition games in that city. They were there but a few days when Willle Keeler, the fa- mous Brooklyn outfielder and the star of the National team, fell out of a buggy and broke a bone in his back. At first thé injury was thought to be a slight one, and Keeler came to this city with the Intention of playing with his club. He began to grow worse, how- ever, and consulted a physician. The medical man, upon making a thorough examination, of the injury, ordered Keeler to return at once to Brooklyn and rest up, otherwise he could never appear on the diamond again. ‘With Keeler at the time of his Injury was Joe Cantilllon, the manager of the All American team. Cantillion was also | injured in the bugsgy accident and was forced to go East with Keeler and leave the burden of business of the American team rest on the shoulders of Mercer. Following close on the injury of Keeler and Cantillion Jimmy Willlams, the American second baseman, next fell a victim to the hard luck which haunted the stars. He sprained his ankle while playing in a game at Sacramento and has been unable to don a uniform since. As soon as the two clubs arrived in Hoffman, 3 up, 2 to play.

More Praise for Dr. McLaughlin’s Electric Belt It does the work. That is what makes the business for my Electric Belt. When a man has squandered the earnings of years on quacks and all kinds of drugs and got no relief, and then comes to me and I cure him, he is my friend, and he wants others to know what he has found out—that my Belt will cure where nothing else will.
