No Difficulty in Beating i Tom Dougherty Fouls Pier- | ACK CORDELL, the amateur light- J weight champion of the Pacific Coast Iy knocked out VBrick" | Howard in two rounds last night. The men fought at the exhibition of .the Bay. City Athletic Club. Howard was substituted for Paul Martin, who Injured | kis hand while training and was unable to appear. Five other fast bouts were also on the card. The boxing was wit- nessed Ly the largest crowd that has a! tended an amateur boxing exhibition in this eity for some time. Young Howard was really no match for | Cordell, but for all that he surprised the spectators by cleverly avolding the rushes of the latter and guarding himself | in good style while the fight was In pro- gress. Cordell's superior knowledge of the game, however, soon began to tell and | during the first part of the second round | he hit Howard a vigorous punch In the stomach. This unnerved the latter and in u few moments he went down and cut be- fore a shower of blows which Cordell | rained on his body and head. *'Muldoon” McDonald, the husky colored | man, again showed the admirers of the game that he is right there with the art of tinishing his man in quick style. doon’s™” opponent was a big colored boxer named Fred Butler. Butler started with a lot of fancy flourishes, but *““Muldoon’ finally landed his man for a couple of hard jolts at the end of the first round | 2nd Butler gently faded away. rker met his match In Joe Car- got the decision in a snapp: four-round bout. Carroll showed wonder- ful cleverness and kept jabbing Parker with his left all the time. Parker bled profusely and became rattled In his vain | attergpts to land on Carroll. Plerpont Ordway won from Tom Dougherty in the second round on a foul. Dougherty is a much bigger man than Ordway and he deliberately threw his man and then hit him while he was down. Dougherty was loudly hissed. Pete Carroll was entirely outclassed by Dick Highland and he went down and out In the second round. Fred Landers made Schneider quit in two Schneider is a husky youth, but lacks gameness, and as soon as Landers began to hit him he quit it [ ] AND THEN DIES Frank Serpa Blames Wife for Death of Their Child.

The gate receipts for the Attell-Hanlon fight were $5750. Of this the fighters re- ceived half. The result being a draw their share was equally divided, giving ach of them $1437 50. Hanlon's ma was out yesterday with a challenge to fight Young Corbett 128 po at § o'clock. He afterward ied this to 130 pounds ringside. Han- er is well under this weight and felt it would worry Corbett to be obliged to in at the last moment. No-an- s received from Corbett. ‘s friends feel he was not at h t when he fought Attell. He underesti- be attention to his training as he might have done. He also had to take off consider- able weight during the last few days of training. which left him in a slightly weakened condition. John Wille, the Chicago strong man, who is to box with “Kid" Carter in the Reliance Club, Oakland, arrived yester- day. In the afternoon he and Carter met at a photographer's and posed for the camera man. Wille's great muscles and decp chest were in marked contrast to the lithe form of Carter. Joe Macais, Carter's manager, admitted the Chicago boxer looked a great deal tougher propo- sition than he thought him when he made the match. Realizing the importance of the coming contest, Macals secured the services of “Spider” Kelly and Tim Mec- Grath to setond his man. Carter is train- ing at Croll's Gardens, Alameda, while Wille will do his work at the Rellance Club, They are to box fifteen rounds on Mcnday evening, February 9, for 50 per cent of the gate receipts. “Kid" McFadden and *"Mississippl” will furnish the preliminary, echeduled to go ten rounds, at 120 pounds. Steeplechasers Are Killed. LONDON, Jan. 20.—The Steward's Stee- plechase was won to-day by Fanciful. Patrick’s Ball and Saltator II fell in the Wybridge Steeplechase and both horses were killed.

Lrated his tenth victory of the season yesterday, shouldering the | healthy Impost of 131 pounds in the six and a half furlong handi- | | cap at Oakland, ana then winning easily | In1:21%. Harry Stover's horse was played from 2 down to 7-to 5 favoritism, and re- | celved faultless handling at the hands of | Shaw. The race was decided during a heavy rain shower, and Jake Holtman's start | was a trifle ragged, Stuyve being as good as left. Princess Titania, with ‘Birken- ruth in the saddle, led for something over a furlong, when Shaw slipped along on the rail, taking the front position with Kenilworth, Fairly reveling in the rain and slushy going, the favorite held the Princess safe, finally beating her a neck with a bit in | | reserve. Yellow Tail grabbed the third place. Lady Kent and Mocorito appeared | outclassed. | CHOICES ARE IN EVIDENGCE. | First choices paraded to better advan- | tage than on the preceding day. when all | six were bowled over. Isabellita, Kenll- | worth and Autolight were returned win- ners, starting favorites in the betting. | Harry Thatcher, Favorito and Evander, | reaching home first at more lengthy -odds, | | proved a long way from being ‘eagle | birds™ for the bookmakers. | _On recent form it looked as if George | | Baldwin's filly Isabellita should expe- | | rience no difficulty whatever in Qisposing | of the trashy bunch which opposed her | in the opening sprint. Her admirers got aboard at € to 5, and later were nearly ttacked with heart failure. The filly had no early speed and it took the hardest kind of effort on the part of Minder t¢ | overtake and down Tom Mitchell a nose, The latter was ridden by Watson, and | 15 to 1 in profusion could be had about | him. | 8o strong was the tip circulated on Ed Adack that the Chicago horse ruled an even monev chance for the mile selling | number. Never at any stage of the run- | ning -did “he look dangerous. Bullman rushed Nellie Forest away in front, lead- ing to the paddock. There, under strong pressure, Harry Thatcher, a 10 to 1 shot, with Eddie Donnelly in the saddle, col- | lared the pace maker, winning by: three lengt The favorite finlshed an indif- ferent third. | COURSE IS MUDDY. Owing to the muddy.conditlon of the course, the mile and a quarter” hurdle handicap was transformed to a flat race The winner turned up in Favorito, backed from 6 to 3%, piloted by Eddie Jones. Poorlands, the 2 to 1 favorite, raced Mike Rice into subjection, and then, tiring bad- Iy the last eighth, fell easy prey to {vorito, which scored by nearly two| | lengths. Duke of York lost considerable | ground through swerving across the track | at the start, and then ran a fair third. Colonel “Butch'™ Fisher and his friends | made a mild “killing” over the win of | the fifth race by Evander. Some of thei bookmakers laid as high as 6% to 1 about | | the gelding. and around post time 4 was | extremely difficult to obtain. Willie Wal- | | | do had the leg up on the good thing and, breaking out in the lead at the start, won all the way. Waterbury, on the § to 5 favorite, Warte Nicht, ran second, six lengths in advance of champagne. Tommy Burns captured the last purse with Autolight, an even money choice in the ring. Knapp, astride the light welght- ed Dotterel, tried to make a runaway race of it, but the filly could not stand the clip set and lost out by a length and a half. Show honors went to Dupont.

She stated that she asked her coachman, Leonard Stearns, If he saw any one taking the coat, and he replted that he had not, but she had seen the coachman's wife wear- ing it Wednesday.

When the case was originally tried both sides were heard at iength and much bitterness de- veioped. The governing body for amateur | sport on this coast rendered a verdict of “not proven” on the evidence submitted.

Baker died as he was being transferred from the tug to the hospital, never hav ing rallied from the shock. The entire surface of his body was burned, and it is thought that he steam.
