Cutter Pitches Well Until the Fielders Becoms | Erratic. | —_— The Cripples and the Natives went for six and one-half rounds yesterday afternoon. Then the fog banks began to loom up in the horizon, and it was a1l off with baseball for the day. The Cripples had everything while the strife lasted, and 'twas easy for them to win. Score, € to 2. The ball pould not be seen after the third inning, and as there were no lan- terns handy to hang on the spheré the only thing to do was to stop playing. Both pitchers worked well for a while. | The 3 support began to weak- was walloped some.

SADLY DISAPPOINT THEIR FRIENDS Neither Is Placed in the Six—Furiong Handicap at Oakland-—The Event Is Captured by Evea G, an 8 to 1 Outsider Ridden by While surprises were looked for at Oakland yesterday, owing to the heavy and holding condition of the track, the result of the six-furlong handicap came almost in the nature of a shock to the talent. - Because of some good early morning trials, John A. Scott, allotted 110 pounds, equal weight with Burnie Bunton, was made favorite at 6 to 5. His odds later receded a point and the 2to 1 at first offered about Burnie Bun- ton lengthened to 2%. The favorite raced on almost equal terms with Cap- tivate to the stretch and there-retired. Just before the curtain fell Jack Mar- tin slipped along on the outside with the 8 to' 1 shot Evea G, winning easily from Muresca, against which 12 to 1 was laid. There are thirty stable boys on the track that could have furnished a better exhibition of abllity than did Ferrell on Burnie Bunton, whigh mare ran fourth. Four first choices, in Mr. Dingle, John A. Scott, Matt Hogan and Pluck, were bowled.over, but.as the betting was only moderately heavy -the ring reaped no harvest. Twenty-one books cut in and the blockmen are prepared | for the expected bombardment {his afternoon. The card was only a fair| one, but attracted the usual crowd of regulars. Lemasney Bros.’ entry, Silurian, was played down to slight favoritism ® the speculating on the first race, a Fu- turity course gelling sprint. Well han- dled through the stretch by Foley, the brown gelding split Toto Gratiot and QOra Viva, beating the first named a neck. With more experienced handling Ora Viva could have won. Amasa quit after showing early speed. Sol Smith kept up his reputation as a mudlark by capturing the seven- furlong run for two-year-olds about as he pleased. The colt closed favorite at 2 to 1, and in front almost from the start, finished nearly three lengths be- fore Avenger. Crosswaite landed Charley Schweitzer in the show at odds going and collected nothing. Mr. Dingle was fifteen minutes the best of those starting in the third chap- ter, another seven-furlong affair, but indifferent handling worked his down- fall. at the game, but was not on to the shoals and sandbars, and Loyal S, rid- den by Powell, beat Dingle half a length. Constellator died away the last eighth, after looking all over a winner at one time. If Waterbury, who rode Matt Hogan, favorite for the fifth event, a Futurity course jaunt, does such a funny turn again he should be furnished with a ticket and sent to his home way down on the Wabash or some other inky stream over the old reliable Tin Can route. It was a dazzling exhibition, even on a muddy track. Matt Hogan finished fifth. Nervator, a 15 to 1 shot, nicely ridden by Larsen, outlasted Florinel in the run home, disposing of the little fellow by half a length. Berendos ran third, several lengths in front of Alta G. James Curl’s Erne proved a good re- peater by taking the closing number at a mile from a shifty cluster of “mudders.” When C. B. Campbell and Lady Kent had played out their string Knapp brought Erne along on the rail, getting the decision from Billy Moore by half a length. Pluck, the favorite, ran a cheap race.

Curran was wobbly on his pins when he went to his corner. In the third Ritchle had Curran down for the count. Curran was game and came back for more. He played possum and kept his right poised and whenever Ritchie came in he would let fly and always catch the Eastern bantam on the jaw. Curran was very weak on his pins when he went to his corner. Ritchie tried to Anish Curran in the fourth, but was nearly put out himself. He bled from ear and nose and was at sea from the heavy wallops on the head. The decision of a draw was well re- ceived by the crowd. .Champion Neil could finish either Curran or Ritchie in one round. . S R BOXERS WEIGH IN. Both Heavyweights Are Well Within the Required Limit. Fitzsimmons and Gardner experi- enced no difficulty in making the re- quired weight. They ‘were at Harry Corbett’s yesterday in advance of the required fime and without any delay proceeded to the business in hand. Each man was so sure of his weight that he removed only his outer gar- ments. The weights were adjusted at the 168-pound notch and neither man moved the bar. When they had dress- ed for the street again Referee Graney took them to one side and they dis- cussed the matter of bandages. It was finally agreed that ordinary surgical tape be used, with the application of collodion or any liquid which would have a hardening effect. The bandages were to be inspected in the dressing- rooms of the two men by their repre- sentatives to avoid delay in entering the ring. 4 3 The weighing-in attracted .an im- mense crowd to Ellis street, that thor- oughfare being almost -impassable. The sympathy of the crowd was ap- parently with Fitzsimmons, who was loudly cheered as he made his appear- ance. iy Fitzsimmons had brightened up no- ticeably since the previous day -and looked the picture of health. Gardner lived up to all that had been said as to his perfect physical condition. L b et Men With Money to Wager Seem All < at Sea. £ ‘The betting on the Gardner fight was feverish and panicky from the time the first wager was lald a week ago. The first bets were made at odds of 5 to 10 with Fitzsimmons favorite. The Gardner adherents took kindly to this until the odds quickly reached 9 to 10. This was partly brought about by the unfavorable reports from the Fitzsim- mons camp. On Tuesday the odds hovered about 8 to 10.° When weighing- in time came yesterday Fitzsimmons appeared in such fine condition that the odds went to 7 to 10. The heavy play of the people who liked Gardner’'s chances changed these odds until when the men entered the ring it was even money and take your pick. i bt FIGHT HANGS IN BALANCE. For a time yesterday the fate of the big fight hung in the balance. The death of Samuel Rainey unnerved Ed- die Graney, as they had been on terms of the greatest friendship for many years. ‘When the referee heard of the death of his friend he positively refused to appear in the ring and asked that some one else be chosen. Gardner was willing, but Fitzsimmons would not listen to it, saying he would not fight unless Graney would act. After a con- feelings in the premises and decided to act. J BOXER JACK O’BRIEN HERE. ‘“Philadelphia” Jack O'Brien, one of the noted ‘boxers in this country, dropped into town yesterday to see the Fitzsimmons-Gardner fight. He had been visiting his sister at Albuquerque and decided to come and see Fitz per- form and also challenge Rim to do bat- tle at 158 pounds. O'Brien looked well and prosperous. He seemed to be bigger and stronger than when he was here some years ago. O’Brien speaks modestly of his 127 ring engagements. He is the champion of England in the middle-weight and heavy-weight divisions. O'Brien said he was matched to fight Ryan six rounds in Philadelphia. He is anxious to come to this coast and fight f of the He said he would not with Gardner, as the latter weighed too much. O'Bfien will leave ference Graney set aside his personal TRACK AND. .

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 25.—The Port- land stickers could do little with Keefe's delivery when hits were need- ed. Butler for the Brownies was twirl- ing equally as good ball as Keefe, but was not accorded the support he should have received. In the ninth inning ‘Hollingsworth made a couple of stum- bles, and these lost the game, as the Senators got two men over the plate in consequence. Score: Portl P.. AB.R. H.

Handicap - Singles Tourna- ment at the Califor- nia Club. S — The feature on the tennis courts to- day will be a handicap singles tourna- ment at the California Tennis Club, Bush and Scott streets. All of the best players of the club, with the exception of Grant Smith, will compete. The most heavily handicapped men are Drum- mond MacGavin, Will Colller and Frank Mitchell, who will play from 15 back of scratch. Will Allen will be on the owe 4-6 mark. Collier and Allen are steady players and their chances of winning are considered good. Jaoseph-S. Tobin, an ex-champion of the coast in doubles and ten years ago one of the foremost players in the West, has entered. Tobin has been practicing of late and as he has mod- ernized his game somewhat he is play- ing better than ever. The handicapping committee showed its high regard for Tobin’s ability when it placed him on the owe 2-6 mark with such players as Frank Stringham and Sidney Salis- bury. Herbert Schmidt (owe 1-6) and Ray Cornell and Harry Rolfe (seratch) are all playing well and their chances are good. Cornell at times lately has play- ed a remarkable game. When he gets a streak he is dangerous, but ordinar- ily he is very wild and erratic. Rolfe plays an excellent game in practice, but seems to go to pieces in tourna- ments. Herbert Long and Alexander Bey- fuss, with odds of 4-6, should cut quite a figure. Long is uncertain on account of his unsteadiness. At times he plays a brilllant game, but his head work is not good. Beyfuss is somewhat out of practice, but is at his best in a tournament. He will make his oppo- nents play to win with these odds. Kuehn and Punnett also get 4-6. Of the lower class men A. W. Worth- ington seemed strongest to the handi- cappers. He is given 15 3-6, while Lovegrove, W. F. Bull and W. S. Dole are given 1-6 more. Of the men placed on the “30” mark Danlel Volkmann and ‘Herbert Gray appear to be the strong- est. Play will commence at 9:30 this mern- ing. All matches except finals will be two sets out of three: finals three out of five. The club has offered four handsome silver trophies to those reaching the semi-finals. The drawing and handicaps follow: Preltminary round—W. Dole (15 4-6) vs. J. Drummor® MacGavin (owe 15). First round, upper half—Harry = Rolfe (scratch) va, Ray Cornell (scratch): R. B. Dag: gett (30) vs, Herbert Long (4-6 of 15): L, C. Bozarth (15 3-6) vs. Billy Colller (owe 15); R. Spiivalo (scrateh) vs. Harry McAfes (30): F. Mitchell (owe 15) ve. A. Worthington (15 3- W. Volkmann (30) ve. Joseph Tobin (owe 2 of 15); W. F. Bull (15 4-6) vs. Sidney Saiis- bury (owe 2-6 of 15); W. Allen (owe 4-8 of 15) vs, Dr. Noble (30). Lower half of the first round—A. Beyfuss (4-6 of 15) vs. winner of the Dole-MacQavin match: H. Punnett (4-6 of 15) vs. Spencer Grant (15); B. Wallace (15 4-6) ve. F. Stringham (owe 2-6 of 15); A. Ames (15 4-6) vs. D. Volkmann_(30); Dr. Lovegrove (15 4-6) vs. E. P. Robbins (30); G. W. Burnett (15 4-8) vs. H. Schmidt (owe 1-6 of 15); H. Spring @0) vs. Charlle Kuehn (4-6 of 15). and H. Grey (30) vs. H. Haight (owe 2-8 of 15). The Golden Gate Tennis Club will hold an open mixed doubles tourna- ment on the park courts to-day. The entry list will be small, but some of the best players from Berkeley will compete. The entry list will not close until this morning, when it is thought the players will get together and make up teams. It is a difficult matter to hold a successful mixed doubles, owing to the scarcity of wemen playvers of even ordinary ability. George L. Baker and Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of Alameda County will probably be the strongest team, although it is doubtful if they are stronger than Charles Dunlap and Miss Ethel Rateliffe. Guy Lytton and Miss Mary Ratcliffe will play together. G. W. Finch and Miss Lulu Wegener have joined forces. Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Whitney have also entered. ADVERTISEMENTS.
