P L) Peach Blossom Wins Last Heat of the First Series From Bush. Spaclal Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 15.—Wild-cat coursing is a form of sport novel to most residents of the far West, even when hounds are used in the chase, but when the quarry is pursued by an excited band of horsemen it becomes especially inter- esting to our Bastern visitors, and was particularly so to H. S. Humphrey, judge of the field trials, this morning. - Just after the start and while the sec- ond brace were down the judge and spec- tators saw Sport's Destiny flush a large wildcat from the brush. In an instant half a score of horsemen were in pursuit through the timber. their horses leaping logs” and taking ditches and dodging brush. Half a mile had been passed be- fore the first rider overtook and turned the cat, which dodged into thick cover for safety. He was soon forced out, and after another short run was brought to bay, when a well- ed rifle ball was sent through his h Even after that he ran some distance before falling dead. The cat's scalp went to one of the pur- suers, while the “brush” was presented te Judge Humphrey, who wore the trophy in his hat for the remainder of the day. The first brace down this morning were W. W. Van Arsdale’s Peach Blossom and Frank Pratt's setter dog Bush. Bush, de- spite his reputation, did rather poor work and the heat went to Blossom. This end- ed the first series, and the judge an- nounced that those carried into the sec- ond would be McCloud with Sport's Des- tiny, Lola Montez with Dr. Daniels, Lady with Cuba’s Zep, Kilgarif with Peach Blossom and Cuba Jr. with Northern Huntress. McCloud Boy and Sport's Destiny found birds which had been flushed in the pre- Vious race, but failed to accomplish much in the way of point work. The next brace did not go down until after luncheon. The two dogs, Lola Montez and Dr. Daniels, were cast off in an orchard, where birds ‘were plentiful. They ran the longest heat of the day, but not till near the end did they seem able to locate their birds with any certainty. Just at the close of the heat Daniels made several points in suc- cession, which gave him a strong lead over Lola, who went into the race badly out of condition. Lady and Cuba's Zep were the next brace, and like the preceding dogs and these that followed, did not do as satis- factory work as they are capable of put- ting up, owing perhaps to weather condi: tions. Each got credit for making a bev: find at the same moment, but they were unable to handle the singles satisfactorily. Kilgarif and Peach Blossom were cast off or. scattered birds from the same bevy and made one point each. After this brace was taken up a dis- tance of two miles was covered before the last brace of the second series, Cuba Jr. and Northern, Huntress, were cast. out. This brace drew a blank, no birds being found, and the party left for Bakersfleld. It is expected that if an early start can be had to-morrow morning the trials can be finished during the day. The follow- ing dogs were taken into the third series and will run as follows: Dr. Danlels with Cuba Jr., Lady with Peach Blos- som, Kilgarif with Cuba’s Zep. Women Tennis Players at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 15— Active steps are being taken by the wom- en tennis players of the university toward putting forth a strong tennis team to mesat the Berkeley tennis team this spring.

Copies of the resolutions adopted will be forwarded to the offices of the United Railroads. ———— PETALU! 15.—An_incendiary stari- ot & biaie at he Calitornia Starch Compary’s bullding on Bayliss street last night, but it was extinguished before much damage was Failed---Suspicious Signs in the Wagering Expose the Scheme RANK NEIL, the California ban- tamweight boxer, knocked out Clarence Forbes, a Chicago feath- erweight, in the sixth round of a fight last night at Mechanics’ Pa- vilion. Forbes was seven pounds heavier than his opponent. Elsewhere in these columns is told the story of the game battle fought by Frank McConnell and Spider Welch. McConnell was injured, how seriously the surgeons at the Receiving Hospital are unable to state at this time. Neil was originally billed to fight Harry | Forbes for the bantamweight champion- ship. Back of the substitution of the latter's brother Clarence, who arrived here’'some days since to fight before the Reliance Club of Oakland, are evidences of a betting coup, arranged in Chicago, which failed. Suspicion was first aroused by the fact that there was unlimited money in Hot Springs, Ark., poolrooms in Chicago and in this city, all to be wagered on Neil. The Forbes money made no impression on this and the odds went up until as good as 10 to 8 could be secured. At the same time good judges of boxing' considered Forbes a 4 to 10 shot. What part John Hertz, CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Telegram just received from Hot Springs reads follows: “‘Gocd ; bet all you can that Neil whips Harry offered here on Neil, no takers. ington, 1L, saloonkeeper is with Hertz and Forbes and furnfshing the money to turn the job. He had $£8000 in cash and some drafts when he left kere. The second dispatch was worded as fol- lTows: CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—I can prove that Hertz and his clique left commissiofs here to bet that Neil would win. Can also prove Hertz did the same with Hot Springs be makers. A big coup has been spoiled. The story now is that the thing of to-nizht was intended originally for the first fight in Oak- d, ould not stand for de agreement from Hertz in which he atrees to give Nell the difterence between the winner's and the loser's end I Forbes won. FORBES CANNOT GO ON. Forbes weighed in at Harry Corbett's a quarter of a pound overweight and for- feited the money he had posted to make 115 pounds at 3 p. m. At this time he ap- parently intended to fight. During the af- | ternoon he ate heartily and drank severa milk punches. When he went to the Pa- vilion he complained of_illness and a doc- tor was summoned. Forbes' temperature was found to be 101 degrees, some three degrees above the normal. It was decided he could not fight. that manager for | In Forbes, took in all this does not appear | order got to disappoint the spectators on the surface. To all appearances he | Jim il proposed that Clarence !‘-Orbks was not a party to it, as he bet his | take ®¥he place of his brother. This was | money on Forbes in this city. When he saw the ugly look which the betting had assumed he said Forbes would not enter the ring with his consent until all bets had been declared off. Harry Corbett and other representative sporting men sustained him in this stand. WANT - BETS DECLARED OFF. ® Referee Jack Welch was asked to de- clare all bets off, but he wanted to be shown evidence that a fake was contem- plated before taking such drastic meas- ures. Such evidence must have been forthcoming as Mr. Weich positively re fused to referee the fight as origina} planned. During the afternoon a wire was received from Chicago, the wording of which was as follows: finally arranged, although there was a difference of seven pounds in the weight of the boxers. ed the purse went to Nefl. He ggve Clar- ence Forbes 35 per cent for going on. also returned Harry Forbes his $250 for- feit posted to guarantee the latter’s ap- I-pearance in the ring. | The fight proved a desperate one, Neil | knocking Forbes out with a Iaft to the solar plexus early in the sixth round. From the start Forbes proved the better ring general and it seemed he must win. For the first three rounds there was noth- ing to it but Forbes. He landed all man- nér of blows. With NEXT SUNDAY’S CALL CARTOON IN COLOR By Oscar Holliday Banghart Given Away With The SAN FRANCISCO “CUPID BAITS THE HOOK.” EXT WEEK'S SELECTION, entitled “Cupid Baits the Hook,” an up-to-date creation artistically drawn, is con- sidered on2 of the best of this justly famed series and is certain to attract every one. THE CALL has arranged to have samples of the original on di- play nearly everywhere, and ofter seeing one no time should be lost in ordering The San Francisco Call | Bernhara As Harry Forbes default- | He | landed. He missed this again in the third In the fourth round Forbes sent 3 straight right to the head which Neil could not dodge. Forbes then rushed Neil across the ring and sent him down for elght seconds. Forbes found his superior weight and strength gave him an advan- tiere and he kept hustling Neil about. Once both went through the ropes. Forbes rolled over the heads of some spectators and landed in one of the boxes. Forbes continued his rushing tacties in the fifth and was hissed for it. He hus- tled Neil through the ropes twice. Forbes opened the sixth and last round with (a terrible right swing, which went wide of its mark. Neil then landed his first successful blow, a left to the solar plexus. Forbes went down and stayed for eight seconds. The blow was repeated and he went down again. The third time | he received the left to the body he was unable to rise and was counted out. The events of last night accent the ne- cessity for the strict enforcement of the ordinance governing boxing. The affair was given under the auspices of the Key- stone Athletic Club, a mushroom organ- ization. The regular clubs pay a license | of $1200 per year and throw every safe- | guard about their exhibitions. Physicians pass upon the condition of the men, and also note their progress in training. Last | night Muller should not have been allowed to box, as he was not in condition. Neith- er should Clarence Forbes have been al- lowed to take his brother's place, as he was not thoroughly trained, and in adadi- tion was in a class above Nefl. The fight between Muller and “Dixie Kid"” was farcical. Muller was not in con- dition and put up a miserable exhibition. It was so bad it served to put the specta- tors in good humor. @ il @ DAVIS" SINGLE DEGIDES GAME Brings in Winning Runs With Score Tied in the Ninth.

A total of fifteen off Tanne- W1l only amounted to six tallies, A single and an error gave the Amef- icans ane in the first.
