Lacy Crawford of St. Louis, Beats Big Field R i a Talifornia-bred greyhound owned by G. Lacy Crawford of St. Louis, won the ninth of the John Grace Challenge Cup Stake yester at Union Coursing Park. In the d ing course he met P. F.Callan's Honest John, which he defeated by a scors of 26 points to 16. The attendance was large, although the weather conditions were unfavor- able for outdoor sports. The betting was heavy, especially in some of the trials where opinions were equally di- vided as to the outcome. P The winner met and defeated in turn Belle Free, Renegade Apache, Aman- dan, Rubber Ankles, Pocatelli and, finally, Honest John. He was a one- to-four choice in the latter course. He had made all his trials short having run a total of 137 seconds his opponent’s 188, Rector’s narrowest escape from de- feat was in the semi-final round, when he ran an undecided course with Po- catelli. In the run off Rector led and picked the hare up on the run, scoring five points to nothing. In his trial with Rubber Ankles he had a margin of but Rect renewal to one point in his favor, the score being | five to four. Rector was runner-up to Beacon for the stake in 1901. The stake furnished the most sensa- tional coursing ever seen in America. The greyhounds were unusually wcll natched and were sent on the field trained to the hour. The only jarring note was struck in the deciding course, when some of the spectators took issue with Judge Grace over his dec m. The course was a long one and was run in the dusk. A light fog hung low over the field. This made it difficult for the spectators, a quarter of a miie away, to view the entire course. Judge Grace, in explanation of the score, said: | H “Rector led by ten lengths. scored twenty points before Honest John scored at all. After the first six points under the rules the scoring doubles, two points being’ allowed for each turn made. After Rector 1an up a sequence of twenty points Honest John scored six. Rector then made si> more and Honest John finished with a sequence of ten. For a part of the time in which he was in front he was not ecoring, the hare being too far in advance of him.” There was a similar demonstration in the same stake in 1899, when Judge Bull decldred For Freedom the winner over Thornhill. The former was a brindle dog, while the latter was white. In the semi-darkness the latter could be distinguished, while the other dog could not be seen, his color correspond- ing with that of the ficld. The Judge's decision was sustained by men in the field who could see For Freedom scor- ing. Rector is a red dog, while Honest John is black and white. The Purse, the first of two consola- tion stakes, was won by E. M. Kel- logg’s Troublesome nominated by P. J. Reilly. He beat T. J. Cronin's Fair Tralee in the deciding course. The Plate was won by E. Baumeis- ter's Cubanola, which defeated P. F. Callan's Mi Amigo, after a long course.

In a hard final at Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday P. J. Horgan's Tralee | Lass beat W. Maguire's Orsina for first | henors by a score of 10 to 7. The de- ciding course found the contestants at even money, and up to the time the bell rang the monev poured into the boxes in big bunches. The stake brought out many good trials, with but few disappointing re- sults to the talent. Lily York went out in the third round tc Sofala in rlose course, beaten by a point. Many looked upon her as a likely candidate for final honors after her showing of the day before, but she succumbed to coursing luck. Sofala made a great bid for the big end of the | purse, but was finally retired by favor of the hare. During the noon intermission Pat Mullarkey questioned the decision of Judge Thomas Tierney in a close course where one of his hounds was in the running, and the two came to blows. Friends interfered and sepa- rated the men before any damage was done. Following are the day’s results, with Judge Tierney's official scores: Lily York beat Little Lucy, 5-3; Sofala beat Wedgewood. 6-3; Haddington beat Comlque, y Menlo beat Young Fearlessy8-4; Firm t Little Plunger, 4-0; Golden Light beat Cremo, 6-0; Reckless' Acrobat beat Fin- cola, -0; Kich Argosy beat Jimmy Anthony, -2."

MR EIGTA S Players Injured at San Mateo. SAN MATEO, Dec. 13. — Neither side scored in a game of football played here to-day between the Ath- letic Club eleven and Company T, League of the Cross, Menlo Park. Both teams played in fine form. San Mateo was outweighted an average of seven pounds. Walter de Mara, their | best player, was absent, and only their grit saved them from defeat. The grass was slippery and aided inter- ference which kept the runs down. But three kicks were made, one each by the Dickie brothers of the Ath- letics, in which twenty yards were gained, and one by Menlo, in which| eight vards were lost. Neither goal was ever in danger. Goodhue of San Mateo and Doyle of Menlo Park were injured. The latter was 8o badly hurt about the head that he is confined to his bed. Doyle re- covered in time to return home with his team. ———————— Noted Athlete Dies.

For the last two vears he had been chief officer in the Yukon to prevent the establishment of illicit. distilleries and the smuggiing of liquors into the Territory. The cause of his death is uncertain, but it was probably due to heart disease. He was found dead in bed by his wife a few minutes after retiring. From 1874 to 1879 McKinnon held the championship as all-around athlete in the United States and Canada. He was awarded more than a thousand prizes in clubs. He retired in 1879 undefeated. ————riee—— Boxing at West Oakland.

Two of the goals were made in the first half, Wild- ing and Showell being the punters to shoot the sphere into the net. In the last half the Pickwicks went at thelr opponents with renewed determination, but the knowing Vampires were always | there with the-block and the safe kick | and, despite the hammer and tongs tac- | ticks of the Pickwicks, kept the sphere | continually in the territory of the lat-| ter. Captain Peterson and Martin of the Vampires played safe and fast for their side, doing some of the longest | and surest punting of the day.

M. Woodruff of the Mormon churcl ¢ ssed the present of affairs ah, indirectly referred to the Smoot state case and scored certain Christian ministers and “agitators,” who, he said, come to ah under a fa cloak to stir up strife and dissension for their own lucrative benefit at the expense of somebody's eise peace and happiness. Refe g to the Smoot case, the speaker said: “The right of American citizenship came from Geod, and let man beware of how he attempts to undo what God has done. It is remarkable that any person be so narrow, so bigoted, that because another person does not be- lieve the same as he does, he would deny him the right of his American citizenship.” ol BT SE , Tyndall Will Explain Mystery. The announcement that Dr. Alex. J. Mclvor-Tyndall, the lecturer and demonstrator of psychic science, was about to his present lecture series here, called out another im- mense audience last night and many were unable to secure seats in Stein- way Ha Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall took for the subject of his lecture “Our Commen Birthright” and brought out the point that every person has the choice of becoming an Individual in the scheme of life, or merely a nega- tive personality. The speaker de-, clared that the greatest virtue a per- close | son can possess is that of independ- ence of thought and action, because through this characteristic he will at- tain happiness and success. The even- ing was concluded with some marvel- ously interesting experiments in the powers of the sub-conscious mind, | which were made in a most entertain- ing manner and elicited loud ap- plause. Dr. MclIvog-Tyndall announced that he had been asked to given an ex- planation of the feats of the “Georgia magnet” and he has decided to do so next Sunday evening, when the won- derful performance of the “magnetic wonder” will be reproduced and the principle by which they are accom- plished explained. The evening will be given over entirely to phenomena, including, in addition to the phen- omena produced by the “Georgia mag- | net,” some of the most intricate ex- periments in the power of thought, psychometry and clairvoyance. —_———————— SANTA ROSA, Dec. 13.—A compromise has been effected In the case of the people of the State of California versus H.
