ALAMEDA, Nov. 22.—Right goals were made by the Independent eleven | of the California Assoclation Football | League in their game with the Oc- cidentals on the Webster street field to-day, while the latter only succeeded in kicking the pigskin sphere into the net twice. Five of the winners' tallies were scored in the first half. The van- quished placed one goal to their credit in each half. From the kick off the In- dependents were the aggressors, and by good team work kept the ball in the Occidentals’ territory the greater part of the game. The Occidentals played in poor form. They were weakened by the absence of their regular goal keeper, Chievers, who failed to appear on the grounds. His place was filled by Mc- ed.

"HAMPION OF THE HEAVY-WEIGHT DIVISION OF*BOXERS WHO WILL PUT HIS ABILITY TO THE 3 WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN MECHANICS' PAVILION, — WHEN HE MEETS Bob Fitzsimmons is suffering from a severe cold-and as a result his joints are a trifie stiff. The Cornishman work- ed out before an immense crowd at| Croll's yesterday and pleased every one | by his speed and punching powers. It was between waits and In Ris retir- | ing room that the initiated discovered Fitz was not at his best. His breath- | ing was labored and he complained of a stiffness the cords of his neck. Fitz was not as badly off, however, as he tried to make it appear. He likes to have his opponent believe he is suf- fering from all the ills man is heir to. There is no mistake about his cold. He complains at all times and coughs a great deal. He hopes to be rid of it by Wednesday evening, and if good care will relieve him of the attack he will be himself again. Mrs. Fitzsimmons kept time for her athletic husband while he administered terrific wallops on the bag. He ham- mered away at the inflated sphere for fifteen minutes, taking a half minute rest between rounds. The thunders he awoke by his terrific smashes proved to the satisfaction of the most critical | that the blacksmith still possesses the punching powers that brought him to the top of the ladder of pugilistic fame. There was a great crowd in the gym- pasium awaiting Bob when he came forth to box with Joe Kennedy and Sam Berger. “Billy” Jordan was mas- ter of ceremonies and madé the crowd refrain from expressing its approval or disapproval during the bouts. KENNEDY HITS HARD. Fitz dia not turn loose on Kennedy because the latter's nose has been knocked out of shape in previous bouts by the hard fisted Cornishman. He in d the substitute and the op- :3:;3.’?;5;(”; fowrd but little trouble in driving the sphere between the goal posts. Whenever the Independents got the ball moving their way there were always men to follow it up. Four of the goals were made by running the sphere from one end of the field to the other and straight into the net. Several complaints of rough playing on the part of the Independents were made by the Occidentals. The teams line up as fol- 1 S eiidentals—Goal, McCarthy: backs, Higgins, Bowden; half backs, Smith, Lloyd, ‘Hayes; forwards, F. Holland, Condon, V.Holland, Evans and Shaugh- nessy.

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 22.—Under the | auspices of the Federated Labor {Union, composing all of the organized labor unions of this city, & series of tugs- of-war have been given the last week. Three nights were devoted to the sport and, despite the great downpour of rain, good attendances were had. The tugs were conciuded last evening, after the winning team to a contest for $100 .-H—H—Hd4+H‘H—H—PH—H—l—H—+H+H+FH‘H‘F+‘F a side. This match will probably be pulled off Friday night. After the tugs dancing has been enjoyed nightly. showed great cleverness in stopping the heavy punches Kennedy let fly at him. Some of the blows sent in by the 220-pound boxer must have hurt, but Bob never showed distress nor ill- feeling. It was remarked by friends of Jeffries and Corbett that if Kennedy had landed with such frequency and force on either of those boxers they would have lost their tempers and would have punished their sparring partner. Fitz's footwork was as de- ceiving as ever. He was unable to get out of the way of some of Kennedy's rushes and he would duck into a clinch or ta%e the blows on his shoulders or arms. In his bout with Berger greater clev- erness was shown. The Olympic Club's crack heavy-weight sailed into Bob and the latter was kept busy blocking and ducking. Fitz once In a while would become aggressive to show Sam he was still in the game. Fitz would shoot out his left with unerring aim and Ber- ger's head would go vback. The eight rounds were fast. The Cornishman was watched narrowly by prospective bet- tors, but he did not give them a chance to get a good line on his condition. Tt is only in private that Fitz cuts loose, and then Kennedy and Berger feel the force of his terrific punches. FITZ IS DOLEFUL. Fitz was doleful when discussing his condition. He complained about the weather and his cold, and said he was not acclimated. When pointedly asked if his condition satisfled himself Fitz replied In the negative. & “T have not felt good In training,” he said. “I seem to lack my usual speed, and T'll be lucky if I win. This cold has bothered me greatly and I have not been myself. It will be a fight be- tween a good old man and a young OLOFIELD LOWERS THE MILE RECORD Cuts One-Fifth of a Sec- ond Off Former - Mark. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—Barney Oldfleld, the champion automobilist, ap- peared before a crowd of 10,000 people at Agricultural Park track this after- noon at a special matinee performance and incidentally established two new records for automobiles. In a five-mile trial against time Oldfield drove his big “Bullet No. 2" machine over the dis- tance in 4 minutes 40 1-5 seconds, which, it was announced, reducéd the previous record 44-5 seconds. He also covered two miles, each in 554-5 sec- ond, a new record. In competition with his “Baby Bullet No. 2" machine, driven by Charles Gra- ham of New York, to which he allowed a handicap of one minute, Oldfield covered the ten miles in 9:57. Follow- 3 man next Wednesday night. Gardner will know he has been fighting when I finish with him, even if I'm half-dead. I weighed 162 pounds when I came off the road this morning, and I could make 158 pounds if necessary. There is no danger of Gardner securing my for- feit of $2000 by my not getting down to weight. I always fought at 158 and felt strong.” A large number of visitors crossed the bay yesterday to see Gardner at Larkspur. The Lowell boxer worked like a trojan, and the visitors marveled at his strength and speed. Gardner went twelve rounds on the bag without a let-up, and then took on Greggains &nd Foley without resting. His wind is perfect and his punching powers are on the increase. He hurt Foley with some of his love taps. Greggains could feel the force of his piledriver blows through his pneumatic protector. Alec had to go with the punch or succumb. He kept after Gardner, and George would meet him with stiff punches. Both Fitz and Gardner will let up in their work to-day. They will box to keep their eyes in shape, but slugging will be omitted. Neither man wishes to take a chance of injuring his hands. Titz says his mitts are in perfect con- dition. Referee Eddie ' Graney visited Fitz vesterday and watched him work out. He was surprised at the speed, clever- ness and punching powers of Fitz. Graney thinks him a wonderful man. The “little horseshoer” will visit Gard- ner to-day and will talk over the rules with him. Graney says the battle will be a hot one, and he is doing some quiet work to prepare himself for stren- uous going when the light-heavy- weights get busy next Wednesday night. 0 ® ing is the time by miles—1:14, :56, 5 3-5, :552-5, 55, :54 4-5, :544-5,1:03, 1:04, 1:04 4-5. The sixth and seventh miles were driven in time one-fifth of a sec- ond lower than the American mile rec- ord, previously held .by Oldfield. On the eighth, ninth and tenth miles Old- field's big machine did not perform well, which reduced the average time and prevented him breaking the ten- mile record. RISt VEREC T T TS Croatians Attack Hungarians. VIENNA, Nov. 22.—Croatian peas- ants of Nagyluk, in Transylvania, on 4 5341 Anvil (C. Friday last organized a murderous at- tack on their Hungarian neighbors. The Croatians assembled during the day and armed themselves with re- volvers, sticks and hay forks and at nightfall stoned the Magyar houses and dragged the inmates into the streets. One farmer was beaten to death and most of the Hungarians were injured, many severely. e “CAPTAIN SHARKEY.” THIS IS ONE OF A. CONAN DOYLE'S Most Exciting Stories. NEXT SUNDAY CALL. THISTLES TAKE OAKLAND GAME Referee Declares Match Forfeited by Hornet Eleven. Victors Keep the Loser’s Goal Continually in Danger. The match between the Thistle and the Oakland Hornet association football | eleyens yesterday afternoon at Idora Park, ©Oakland, proved somewhat dis- appointing. The game being played on the home | gréund of the Hornets, it devolved upon | them to see that the ground was in| good order and the lines marked. This not having been done, Referee C. W. | Irish declared the match forfeited to the Thistles. A crowd of spectators | being on hand in expectation of wit- nessing an exciting contest, the teams | went on and played the match. The Thistles had nearly all the best of the play, their combination work and pass- ing.being much better than that of the | Hornets despite the good individual play of Chambers, A. Hunter, Shand | and Connolly. The ground was in bad | condition, " heing ,heavy, slippery and | muddy. | The only goal scored by the Hornets was made from a scrimmage three TS a0FALA LOSES 10 MOUNT ROSE Favorite at the Ingleside Park Disappoints Backers. Heavy Fog Obscures Some of the Most Intcre sting Trials. —_— R. Long’s greyhouna Mount Rose. the brindle son of Royal Flush and Craw- ford Lass, won the stake at Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday in clever fash- ion. He first beat Viking after an un- decided. He then retired Comique and Our Motto to their kennels. In the next round Homer Boy was withdrawn after a hard course, giving Mount Rose a bve. In the semi-final he also ran a bye course, putting him in the final. In this he met Sofala, which was made a 3 to | § choice. Mount Rose led and finally won by a score of 15 to 10. The hare released the deciding course es- caped. This was the gixth time he was used and he showed his knowledge of the fleld by making his way to the nearest escave. A heavy fog hung over the fleld throughout the day, ooscuring the de- clding course and a number of other interesting trials. The day's results minutes after the kick-off, but the Thistles equalized the score before the | end of the first half. The Hornet goal | was constantly in danger, but Goal- keeper Williamson proved an excellent | man in his place. In the second half, after ends had been changed, the play was sluggish, but the Thistles added | one more goal to their score, so that | the match ended Thistles two goals, Hornets one goal. The Thistle forwards played an excellent game and made re- | peated attacks on their opponents’ goal. | The linesmen were L. R. Gillchrest and | T. Hunter. The Hornets' team was weakened by the absence of Lackie and Pomeroy and by an injury received | by Erskine early in the game.

The Golden Gate Tenmis Club mem- | bers started their class singles tourna- | ment for first ana fourth class players | Yesterday on the courts in Golden Gats | Park. The rain which set in early in the afternoon put a stop to the play When it had only fairly started. A large | number of players were entered, but | the inclement weather caused a number ;of defaults to be recorded. The matches played were as a rule uninteresting. Many were won by scores of €-0. 6-2 and 6-1. Only two matches were played in the first class, while in the fourth class play was com- pleted through most of the first round. Robert N. Whitney and George K. Bates put vp the best match of the | day. Bates was outclassed in the first set, but in the second he pulled him- self together and made a good show- | ing. Whitney only taking the set by a 9-7 score. The other first class match was won by Will Allen. He had for an opponent J. A. Code and won with- | out an effort. Two Interesting matches were played in the fourth class. The best was be- tween W. L. Howell and M. Edwards. Though the former won, it was only after the final set had run to 10-8. The first set went to Howell, 6-2, and the second to Edwards, 6-1. The match between T. A. Allen and | F. Wolfsohn was the only other one that required the playing of the full three sets. Allen proved the winner by a score of 6-1, 2-6, 6-4. The scores of the tournament follow: First el 3 ass—R.N. Whitney beat G. K.

Collier made his reappear- ance at the California Club courts yes- terday after an absence of several weeks, and proved the star performer of the day. He first took on and de- feated Frank S. Mitchell in a one-set match. He then disposed of J. D. Mac- Gavin in two straight sets. MacGavin's service bothered the veteran consider- ably, but Collier’s all around work was too much for him. In ong of the best practice matches seen in many weeks, Frank Mitchell and W. B. Collier won from Joseph S. Tobin and Frank D. Stringham in two out of three sets. The former team threatened to make a runaway match of it in the first set, which they took. 6-2. The second set developed a great improvement in Tobin and Stringham's game and they-annexed the set in clev- | er fashion by a score of 6-3. The third and final set went to Collier and Mitch- ell, €-3. The scores of the day follow: Robins tied Soring, 6-4. 3-6; L. Bald- win beat H. Rolfel 7-5, 7-3: C. G. Kuehn beat H.
