UNITED STATES LAUNDRY Cffice 1004 Market Street, | match with Fitzgerald. jeris of Los Angeles wiil be his offical | OF THE LARGEST CROWDS EVER GATHERED AT A RINGSIDE THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN in the form of liquids. He did not com- mence to deny himself until a few days ago, when he was still eight pounds over- weight At t time while on the road he ed his thirst at every hydrant and cing on weight instead of tak- wa ing it off. Corbett said yesterday if he defeats Mec- ern he will be glad to enter into ne- fons with Jimmy Britt for a maich ) pounds, provided Britt wins his [ rbett will leave his training quart Sheehan’s Beach Tavern at 1 o'clock He will come into town and will stay at the house of a friend until it is time to | weigh in. At 5-oklock he will eat his sec- | ond meal of the day. He will breakfast | at 10. While he will not commit himself | he evidently thinks the fight will be a| short and a merry one, as he says he d0a3 not like long drawn out affairs. He s | confident he will be declared the victor. He says he can think guicker than Me- Govern, and that quick thinking is what | wins fights. In his corner to-night will | be Harry Tuthill, Alex Greggains, Tim McGrath and Billy Otts. *“Chalk” Rot timekeeper. McGOVERN IS CONFIDENT. McGovern is also ready and impatient ! for the clang of the gong that will send | him for the second time against his fami- cus foe and one-time conqueror. The gritty little Brooklyn scrapper completed his training yesterday afternoon at Croll's Gardens in Alameda, where for three weeks he has been fitting himself to do or be done to-night. Terry feels, however, that he will not be the man to be done ir. the championship pummeling match. On the contrary the ex-lumber piler vows he will be behind the big doings to- night and that when the cruel war is over he will once more be entitled to take his place upon the pugllistic - pedestal bearing the inscription, “Champion fea- therweight of the world.” Terry took a four-mile walk with his trainers yesterday afternoon. After re- turning and being rubbed down he in- dulged in a short nap. He did no morn- ing work. McGovern was at the 125- pound notch vesterday. His weight has not varied perceptibly in three days. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the terror among the pigmy fighters will break camp and | Joe Humphreys and his manager, h his cabinet of advisers and trainers leave Croll's Gardens for this city. Upon arrlving here the party will pro- ceed to a hotel. At 4 o'clock McGovérn | will be at Harry Corbett’s place to weigh in in the presence of his opponent. This being done Terry will return to his ho- where he will enjoy a hearty fighting | meal and then rest until the hour of de- parture for the ringside. Terry will have Lehind him to-night his discoverer and trainer, Charley Mayhood, Eddie Cain, Sam Harris. ‘The attendance to-night will be the larg- est in numbers that ever viewed a fight in this city. It is estimated. from the advance e, that nearly $30,000 will be taken at the door. At a late hour last night it was reported that the house would probably be sold out this morning. Referee Eddie Graney said he would insist upon the physicians who are to pass upon any claims of foul be men of the highest standing in the pro- fession. Mr. Graney and other authori- ties on boxing do not approve of the precedent established in this matter, say- ing it will take time to educate the pub- lic up to it. The referee says it will lightén his task, taking all responsibility last night | away from him, but will pave the way for dishonest fighters to lose and yet save their reputation. He is firmly convinced oth boys in to-night's battle are honest nd that nothing is to be feared from them. The fighters, their managers and the officers of the clut have the future of boxing in their keej ng to-night. If there is a hint of crookedness in it the articles of -agreement between Britt and Fitzger- ald are not worth the paper on which they are written and there will be no heavyweight championship decided here. Whatever the cause there has been sus- picion created as to the honesty of the fight, which nothing but a genuine contest can dispel. T Reno Sportsmen Coming. RENO, Nev., March %0.—A party of gome forty people will leave this city to- night to be present at the Corbett-McGov- ern fight. They will be chaperoned by Mart Johnson. They have chartered a Pullman car for their accommodation. Seats have already been reserved for the party. @ inieiviriminieietmmieieieimmefe el e e bl @ HARBOR COMMISSIONERS IN SPECIAL SESSION Board May Refuse South End Row- NEW CHINESE MINISTER LEAVES FOR WASHINGTON Sir Chentung Liang Cheng Departs ing Club Space in the China Basin. There is more trouble in store for the ‘With His Extensive Suite for America’s Capital. South End Rowing Club. At a special meeting of the State Board of Har- bor Commissioners yesterday President Spear was inclined to side with Dundon against giving the club permission to oc- cupy a space in Central Basin adjoining the Union Oil Company’'s premises. At the suggestion of the president further investigation is to be made by the Com- missioners and the chief engineer. On the recommendation of the Chiet ‘Wharfinger the Commissioners assigned to the Western Sugar Refinery boats Howard-street wharf No. 2, north side. The change is a transfer from Harrison- street wharf, north side. Wakefield & Co., contractors for the construction of ferry slip A, Clay-street wharf, stated that the steel works East could supply ten-inch cover supports two weeks earlier than twelve-inch supports could be supplied and submitted to the hoard a proposition to accept the ten-inch material. Mr, Stack, representing the contractors, declined to make any re- duetion In consideration of the change and the board decided to adhere to' the original specifications, requiring the use of twelve-inch steel. S Insane in a Strange City. A middle-aged woman, who gave the name of Della King, was found by Police Officer T. Murphy on Fourth street, at the entrance of Pioneer court, on Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock wandering about the streets. She stated that she had come from Philadelphia. The officer con- veyed her to the City Hail, where she was turned over to Mrs Rose Kane, matron of the detention ward, where she will re- main pending examination by the city of- ficials into her sanity. - With kow-towing due the rank of an Oriental nobleman, his Excellency Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the new Chinese Minister to Washington, and his suite of sixty diplomats and secretaries were sent on thein long journey eastward yesterday by a large assembly of the most repre- sentative men of the Chinese quarter, who accompanied the Envoy Extraordinary across the bay to/the train which awaited him at the mole. The party, with its silken gowns fresh from the tailoring establishment, present- ed an attractive sight as it proceeded on to the ferryboat and took up its position on the upper deck, from where the Min- ister and his consuls viewed the city and its surroundings as they were speeding along the foaming waters. On reaching the mole farewells were hurriedly made, for the Minister was given to understand that time was precious, and within a quarter of an hour all were aboard the cars and snugly quartered preparatory for the start. The train will go directly through to ‘Washington, stopping only where it is nec- essary along the route. The Southern Pa- cific Company has made special arrange- ments for the comfort of the distinguish- ed traveiers and has dispatched an agent with the train to look out for the Minis- ter's wants. —— s Teamster Kicked by a Horse. Benjamin Barnett, a teamster residing at 539 Fourth street, had his leg broken by a kick from a horse yesterday after- noon. Barnett was adjusting the | on one of a team which he was driving at Stockton street and Broadway when the animal kicked him, fracturing his leg. He was treated at the Emmnz and then removed to his ‘Hospital Lead From Start to Finish. Outrun Every Part of the Route. MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 30.—The Montgomery handicap, the first big all- aged stake of the year, was won this af- ternoon by John W. Schorr’s aged chest- nut gelding, Ordnung, in a driving finish, with Harry New second and Witfull, the New Orleans Derby winner, third, two lengths away. McChesney, the odds on favorite, was outrun from the start. One of the largest crowds ever seen at the track was on hand when the handicap was called. The weather was all that could be de- sired and the track was in excellent con- dition. The fourteen starters lined up in perfect order and were sent away at the first attempt. Ordnung jumpgd to the front and, foilowed by Harry New and McChesney, passed the stand at a merry clip. Odom used the whip freely on the favorite at the start, but he did not re- spond and nowhere through the journey did he appear prominent. Ordnung, well bandled by Bullman, made all the run- ring and led into the stretch by haif length. Here he was challenged by Harry New arnid in a spirited finish Ordnung won by a head.

PHILADELPHIA, March 30. — Jack McChesney, the Favorite, Is| 4 O'Brien of this city to-night outpointed Joe Choynski in a six-round bout at the Washington Sporting Club. Choynski was no match for O'Brien, wnose failure to score a knockout was due to lack of force behind his blows. Cnoynski started well, but appeared to lose heart under O’Brien’s unceasing rain of left-hand jabs. From the second until the last round Choynski's only ohject seemed to be to stay the limit. The third and fourth rounds were particularly rame and the referee warned the men. In the sixth round O'Brien was more aggressive and subjected his opponent to a severe drub- bing, but his jabs and punches lacked the power to put Choynski to sleep. SRR ol Montana Nine at Bakersfield. BAKERSFIELD, March 30.—Manager Jack Flannery, captain, and twelve play- ers of the Helena, Mont., baseball team of the Pacific Northwest League arrived in Bakersfield this evening. They wili practice at Athletic Park twice a day un- til April 14, when they go to Los An- geles to open the season. LT R Good Price for a Trotter.

There will be five special matches in all. ~ REFUSES TO SHORTEN THE HOURS OF LABOR Laundrymen’s Association Denies the Demands of Employes, but Sug- gests Arbitration. The Laundrymen’s Association held ar- other meeting last night at the Grand Hotel and replted to the demands mate by the employes for a reduction of the hours of labor from ten to nine and an increase of yearly bolidays from five to eight. The demands were denied, but the aseociation informed the committee from the laundry workers that while a demal of their request was made, the employers were willing to submit the matter or arbitration by the Labor Council. The men originally asked for a 10 per cent advance in their wages besides the reduction of the working hours, but at the meeting of the employers’ associa- tion a week ago they eliminated the wage question. 5 e ey Miss Stone, the Missionary, Here, Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary who was captured and held for ransom by Macedonian brigands, arrived in San | ¥'rancisco yesterday and will remajn here several days. Miss Stone was a captive for six months, being hurrfed from place to place by her captors, who were kept continually on the move by the pursuing troops. Her release was finally obtained when the ransom which had been su'.- scribed by sympathizers in this country was paid into the hands of the brigands' agents. t to the Senate the of J. M.

The kindergarten class was only asked to tramp half a mile and nine cantered to the post, with Bianchi & McGovern's filly, Ravelena, a 2 to 1 choice in the ring. | Quaker Girl Jed the bunch into the stretch. As the wire was approached the youngsters were strung across the track like a troop of cavalry and in that fash- ion they passed the judges. Birkenruth, on Whoa Bill, earned the decision, a neck in advance of Padua, then followed Tann- hauser, Ravelena, Qualker Girl, Libbie Candid and The Hawalian, heads and necks apart In the order named. THREE FAVORITES SCORE. For a card made up entirely of mode- rate class horses, there could be little complaint about reversals of form. Sol Lichtenstein, Baffled and Diderot won, starting favorites in the betting, while Grail, Whoa Bill :nd Marineuse were well played second or. third choices. The track was muddy, but not holding. Making his first appearance this season, Bassenzo was passed about as suchia warm one that the gelding went to the post favorite over Marineuse for the | opening sprint. The good thing led al- | most to the paddock, where he swerved with Sheehan, and was easily beaten by Marineuse, ridden by Donovan. Lou Clieveden, backed from 60 to 40, ran a fair third. Sol Lichtenstein, played from 3 down to 13 to 5 favoritism, made a show of his field in the six and a half furlong event. The black gelding took the lead from Dot- terel, stepping the first quarter, and won in an ordinary gallop. Imp. Somenos was | third. Pupil, the second choice, quit bad- ly in the stretch. The black three-year-old filly, Orsina, ruled a 13 to 10 chance for the mile purse, and, with Bonner up, failed to get a mark, although only five faced the bar- rier BAFFLED WINS BY A LENGTH. | J. T. Sheehan, astride Grail, gradually shook off Nigrette, downing the Jen- nings entry cleverly at the close. Forest | King beat the favorite out for show | honors. At cne stage of the running in the mile and a furlong selling event the faverite, Baffled, looked beaten. Mission and Glis- sando had alternated in making the pace, | but when Bonner drew his whip on Baf- fled the black mare forged ahead, scoring by a length, with little in reserve. Glis- sandro lost the place to Mission by less than a length. Birkenruth's experience stood him in good stead when he landed Diderot a win- | ner over Galanthus for the concluding | mile and fifty yvard selling affair. The | former horse had a decided call in the betting and raced head and head with Galanthus almost from the start. The last eighth the favorite, under Birken- ruth’s hard urging, took the lead, and hard ridden, disposed of Jimmy Coffey's | chestnut by half a length. The show went to Illowaho. x e DR O NOTES OF THE TRACK. Clem Jenkins has quit riding here for the season. Clem is under contract to ride on the Eastern tracks for Sanford & Sonms, the millionaire turfmen of Amsterdam, N. Y. owners of the great miler, Chuctaninda, and other cracks. He leaves for the Eastern coun- try this week. ‘When in California two seasons ago Ordnung, winner of the Montgomery handicap at Mem- phis yesterday, was considered only a fair selling plater in the mud. The Schorr horse’ victory is quite a compliment to California winter racinz. Diderot, winner of the last race, was bid up from $500 to $1000 by Charley McCafferty. The stable bid the usual $5, retaining the horse. Birkenruth was the only rider to pilot two ‘winners. Missile, which started for the first time here in the opening sprint, won the Colorado Derby at Denver last year, e ——— THE ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.
