Harris can go some at this game himself, and it was a battle of wits for several minutes. Harris told of Te ‘s hitting power and of his condition, but Corbett had an answer for ever: thing he said. Young Corbett bundled up in oilskins Quring the morning and, went for a run down the boulevard, a picturesque ob- ject. The remainder of the day he put his “drylng-out” process to the test and showed a gradual reduction in weight. He denfed himself all liquids. He will vork hard to-day and expects to reduce as flesh has commenced come off during the past few day: Corbett will have breakfast to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock and will not eat again until after he welghs In. He will then have six hours before he enters the ring. TERRY EXPECTS TO WIN. Yesterday was a qnh‘t one at the Mec- Govern camp in Alameda. Terry took a walk in the morning and evening and that was all in the line of trainipg. He weighed 1% pounds as he sat down to his | evening meal, which consisted of every- thing he wanted to eat. While carving a big beetsteak McGovern said: “T mean to win back from Corbett on him when we first met. I have walted for the opportunity and have chased Cor- bett around the country for nearly two years to get a chance to redeem myself, and I am glad the time is close at hand. 1 never felt better in my life after train ing for a fight. All 1 want when 1 get into the ring with Corbett again is a fair break and no favors. I propose tu give the public and my friends an exhibi- tion of the best that is in me. They have always stood loyally by me, and I intend to do the same by them.” Referring to the rumors being circu- lated that the coming battle will not be on the level Sam Harris, manager of Mc- Govern, said: “It matters not to me whether I win a cent on the outcome of the fight Tuesday night. 1 have always backed Terry be- cause I like him as a fighter and a friend. 1 want to see him win, and win on his mierits. 1 do not want to see him lose and lose on a fluke or on any job. The boxing game needs all the support it can get now, and no dishonest nor peculiar doings are going to lend it that support. These rumors are put in motion prior to many of the big ring battles. They are hard to run down, and it is difficult and next to impossible to find any one who will stand for them. These reports of a fake fight and of lying down on the part of one or the other party in the coming contest are annoying to me and exasperating tb McGovern. The boy has thrown his soul into his work and means to recover the championship.” Joe Humphreys, who assists in looking after the interests of the Brooklyn ter- ror, sald last night in connection with the distrust exhibited on the part of many as to the honesty of the fight Tuesday night: “We have come 3500 miles to secure this match, and we have come here in good faith. I have heard rumors of a fake fight, and they make me weary. If there is any foundation for such reports it is not to be found in the doings of the Mc Govern camp. Terry's work has been open and above board. Everybody has been afforded an opportunity to see him prepare himself, and none can say he has not worked hard and persistently to fit bimself. He has everything to gain by winning the battle. That is what he ex- Ppects and what we expect him to do.” 1 | was FAKTS LEAVE WINTER HOME Corinthian Fleet Passes Safely From Lagoon Into Cove. No Mishap Attends Raising of the Belvedere Draw- bridge. — A steady downpour of rain greeted the performers and spectators in the prelim- inary event of the yachting season of 1993 when the drawbridge was ralsed yester- day to let the pleasure craft pass out of the lagoon at Tiburon. At noon, with the tide still flooding, but nearly at high water, a team of horses was attached to the draw, which went up without a hitch. The yachts were already close to the bridge, the first to pass through being the little sloop Rambler, manned by a lone mariner irreverently denominated *“Whiskers.” Then came “Billy”” Humphreys' sloop Sans Souci, the yawl Spray, the sloops Dixie, Truant (with John Pew at the wheel), the big yawl Frolic, the sloops Wawona, Merope, Il’rlvrlrvs Juanita, Diana, Presto and Vil- ain. Commodore E. F. Sagar’'s sloop Edna next in order, but her fore y caught_ against the bridge and : had to back away from the entrance to the cove. The sloops Genesta, May, Nada, Amigo, Aeo- lus, the yawl Royal, the sloops Stella, Freda, Fieetwing, Mischief, the yawl Naiad, the sloops Emma, Harpoon, Ruby and Mignon followed. - The ark Atlantis was safely piloted through, though she struck once or twice agalnst the bridge and made its ancient timbers quiver. The big sloop Clara was also towed out into the cove. Tom Jennings' launch Vino and J. Hawkins' launch Caroline rendered val- uable aid in towing the yachts. After two or three of the smaller yachts had passed out it was seen that the larger craft could not pass under the telephone wires and a linesman went up to cut them. No mishap befel any boat, as the atmos- phere, though moist, was calm and the flooding tide kept the yachts from bunch- ing. Nearly all the craft belong to the Co- rinthian fleet except the yawl Royal and the sloop Juanita, which are enrolled in the San Franclsco Yacht Club, and a few which fly the burgee of none of the clubs. The fin-keel sloop Discovery remained behind in the lagoon, but will be brought out later. The arrangements, as usual were in the efficient hands of Port Captain John H. Keefe, with Percy Burr as first lieutenant. The yawl Spray salled down in the after- noon to her new anchorage off the Arctic Oll Works. The bridge having been safe- ly lowered and Belvedere having ceased to be an island for the next seven months, the damp and hungry yachtsmen repaired to the Corinthian Clubhouse, where hot clam chowder, beans and coffee awaited them. From now until opening day on April 25 the yachtsmen will be busy In putting their craft into commission. FOUR STRAIGHT VICTORIES FOR LOS ANGELES TEAM Entire Game Is Played in a Drizzle, but the Spectators Remain Throughout. LOS ANGELES, March 20.—Los Ange- les to-day won the last game of the serles from Seattle, making it four straight. The score was 7 to 4. For the first time i Los Angeles the entire game was played in a fine drizzle. The dampness did not frighten the fans, however, and few of the spectators left their seats. Shortly after time was called for the first inning, rain began falling. Play continued and an interesting game was finished on a field that became sloppy and uncertain for base running. The pitchers had a hard time of it, ow- ing to the wet and sticky ball. Both Corbett and Hickey were wild. The for- mer retired in favor of Gray after the fifth inning. Only three hits were made off Corbett, but he hit two men and walked seven others. Hickey hit two batsmen and walked three. Attendance, 4500. Score: LOS ANGELES R. BH. SB. PO. A.

NEW YORK, March 29.—The Union Boat Club to-day reinstated C. S. Titus, the oarsman. The club passed a resolu- tion, which recited that there had been an irregularity In his expulsion, and add- ed “that the said expulsion be rescinded solely on the ground of such technical ir- regularity.” President Sinnot of the club said to- night: “We want to be perfectly just in dealing with Mr. Titus, but at the same time we do not concede excellence in wa- termanship is a sufficient reason for ex- emption from club discipline where it is desirable.” Titus brought suit in the courts to com- pel the club to reinstate him and the mat- ter was to be heard Tuesday of this week. The technical irregularity mentioned was that Titus had only twenty-eight days’ notice of a trial when the constitution requires thirty days’ notice. The club wanted to try him because he had been talking through the newspapers about its management instead of filing formal com- plaint with the officials. —_———— He was eight months and twonty—nva days old at his accession, STRECKER, THE SHOOTING KING, EASILY RETAINS HIS SUPREMACY The Annual Spring Festival of the California Schuet- zen Club a Success Despite Adverse Weather PALO ALTO WIRS WITHOUT EFFORT Sacramento Boy Fails Conditions Under Which the Competion Is Held D W PTCLIVGHLIN oo - Vo KOLAINDE R~ o g 2 HE annual spring festival of the California’ Schuetzen Club was held yesterday at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael. The weather was the most unfavorable that dulled the ardor of riflemen on a big occa- slon for many years. - The heavy atmos- phere caused the powder smoke to settle 't on the range, thus obscuring the tar from view and proving a constant sourc of annoyance to marksmen. Although the climatic conditions were against good shooting some of the scores made would be reckoned high in the best of weather. Adolph Strecker, the world’s shooting king, again proved his ability to compete with the best marksmen by carrying off first prize on the honorary target and also first prize on the ring target. The scores made by Mr. Strecker on the honorary target were 72, 71, 70 and 65 out of a possi- ble 75 rings each. His record on the ring target was 73, 70, 70 and 69. Strecker was closely followed by August Pape, who succeeded in carrying off the combination prize offered for the marksman making the best average on the honorary and ring targets. Jacob Mever, the well-known sharp- shooter of Sacramento, also made 72 rings out of a possible 75 and tied Strecker's score on the total result. Jacob Gruhler, also of Sacramento, made a score which puts him weil up among the top-notchers. The first bullseye of the festival was won by D. W. McLaughlin. The last in the forenoon went to August Pape. .ne © “LOCOMOTIVE” SMITH IS SOUGHT AS COACH University of " California Offers the Famous Halfback Direction of the First Eleven. BERKELEY, March 20.—‘Locomotive' Smith, Berkeley's famous halfback who played behind the line on the varsity eleven for three seasons, has been in consultation with Manager Ezra Decoto in reference to accepting the position of head coach for the next football season. The University of California has made a definite offer to the veteran line smasher and is awaiting Smith’s accept- ance. The University of Oregon, at Eugene, has also solicited Smith’'s services for the next season, offering him a better salary than that held out by the Uni- versity of California. Smith coached the Oregon team last year. It was this action that precipitated Stanford's pro- test against his playing on the California eleven last season. This resvited in his being debarred by an arbitration com- mittee acting as a tribunal of last re- sort in the bitter quarrel engendered between the two universities, The acquisition of Smith as director of the football squad next season would be a distinct gain for California. By his phenomenal work during the time he was on the team ‘“Locomotive’” Smith estab- lished a reputation of being the best halfback on the coast.
