TS KOSTER, the clever. heavy- weight boxer of the San Francisco G Athletic Club, was just a trifle too fast for Frank Weaklin, the big colored | man, last night. The men met in the main event at the Sixth-street club and gave a good, careful exhibition during the four rounds that the bout was in progress, The entire card was an attractive one, and the sport was enjoyéed by an imrhense crowd of followers of the game. Weaklin and Koster met once before, the latter getting the.decislon, so there was unusual interest in last night's fight. Both men fought cautiously and took no chances. Koster was the aggressor from the start and kept pegging away at his opponent in a consistent manner. Koster showed cleverness and landed some telllng punches during the early stages of the battle. He had everything s owr way for the first three rounds, and it seemed the colored serapper would g0 to the timbers. But in the third round Weaklin changed his tactics and came with a rush at Koster. He showered some stiff blows on the white man and the lat- ter did not like ihe game. The beil sounded before any damage could = be ‘done and the decision went to Koster. Fred Welch and Jack Walsh, two bell- boys from a well-known hostelry, put on the gloves to settle a grudge. Both were dapper looking youths and knew nothing about the game, but they fought . like fiends until they were tired. Welch finally’ g4t tHe decision. Goe Reilly went against Mowle Rudéiph.: The Jatter was not used to the pace and he faded out in the secohd round. Eddy* Burns, a stocky chap from Oak- tand, put Frank Vajl into the dreamy re- gion in three rounds. Burns showed wor derful cleverness and looks like a comer. Vail wag game, but he could not with- stand Burns' fierce jolts on the jaw. Mike Synfy finished Victor Peck in two rounds hen he seemed all_in himself. Jack O'Brien knocked out Pete O'Day in two rounds, and Jack Scott outpointed Joe Bradshaw in a four-round mixup full’ of good fighting. TENNIS TOURNAMENTS ON VARIOUS COURTS Players on Both Sides of the Bay ‘Will Be Active for Three Days. During the next three days the tennis players on both sides of the bay will be bustly engaged in tournament playing. The great tennis event of the year in Ala- meda County will be commenced this af- ternoon on the ‘courts of the Cocoquelicot Tennis Club at East Oakland. The last champlonship event was played at Cen- in 1800, when the singles resulted in a victory for Reuben G. Hunt, the pres-, ent champion. The winner of the tourn: ment will be called upon to play Hunt for the champlon8htp. It was expected the tournament would be open and the fact that it is not gobs the event of considerable interest. D mond MacGavin and Grant Smith, the California Club cracks, were anxioug to try conclusfons with Alameda County's be With these two players disbarred the singles will undoubtedly lie between Hunt and Percy Murdock, with the odds slightly in favor of the former. These two players are sure to win the doubles, as they completely outclass the other en tries. On the Golden Gate Park courts play in the mixed doubles tournament will be resumed this afternoon. The first match will be between Miss Lulu Wegener and Harry Routh and Miss Bertha Gardner and Will Allen. The fnrmar will receive a handicap of “i of 15" The winner of this match will be called upon to play Miss Maud Varney and G. W. Finch in the semi-finals. This team plays from the “3-6 of 15" mark and stands a goou chance of winning. Two tournaments wiil be played on the courts on Sunday and Monday. One will be held by the Golden Gate Tennis Club on the park courts and the other by the California Club at Scott and Bush streets. The drawing for the tournament to be played on the park courts was held last night and resulted as follow Preliminary round—Roberts (13 1-6) vs. Dun- lap (scrateh); Twigzs (15 1-6) Routh (scratch); Baumgarten (15 3-6) vs, Bozarth (15 3-6) v, Foley (4:6); ) § 6); su Tong i 20 .

After look- ing over the list the Denver boger se- | lected Graney. The club officials at once appointed him to the responsible | position. Mr. Graney will call upon each of the boxers the day before the contest and will discuss the rules with them. As this is not expected to prove an exhibi- | tion of parlor gymnastics the referée | will not appear in his Tuxedo, as he did | at the recent Olympic Club tournament. | Both boxeérs put In a busy day. yes- terday. six’ miles on the road, accompanied by | Tim McGrath on horseback. In the aft- | ernocon he put in some hard work for more than an hour in the gymnasium. As part, of his work he boxed eight three-minute rounds. His first opponent was Joe .Reilly, | who went three rounds. Reilly- was pretty well pumped out at the end of two rounds. Monte Attell did better, going five fast rounds. The last time Monte had on the gloves with the little champion he apparently did not have | @ very high opinion of either his ability as a puncher or as a boxer. He had a different opinion yesterday, as he was carried along at a smart pace and had all the fighting he wanted. There was a trace of blood on his lips when he fin- ished. Corbett's condition is improving rap- idly each day. He perspires freely, which in ijtself is a- good sign. The temperature is high in his tiny gymna- sium to produce profuse perspiration. Under these conditions his exercise gives the best results. heavily padded floor. This' would tire an ordinary man In a few moments, but | does not affect him. He pays particular attention to his legs, as he says If the legs are good and the arms tired you can “stall” and do the Bob Armstrong act. If the legs are gone you are at the mercy of an opponent and have but little change. Among the visitors at Corbett's quar- ters yesterday was Joe Soto, a veteran feather-weight. Corbett illustrated a new form of exercise with Soto. This consisted of using a pair of broom han- dles as though they were pulley weights. Corbett says this develops the muscles | of the arms and shoulders. where all the hitting muscles are stored. Soto went through the exercise as though he en- joyed it. From all appearances he might have been preparing to spar the wind-up with Young Brady. Morris Levy is endeavoring to bring Terry McGovern and Corbett together in this city next month. Corbett is anxious for another bout with Terry and is ready to post a forfeit at any time to bind a matech. He has finally reached the conclusion that if they ever meet in an extended flght it must be in this State. Painter Falls and Breaks Leg.
