He opened up the go by grabbing Sullivan and treating him catch as catch can style.

The most famous waters in the State for bass fishing will be made available to-day for all anglers. Through the ef- forts of A. M. Cumming, known throughout the State as an angler and gunman, the California and Northwest- ern Railway has established a flag sta- tion at the head of San Antonio Slough, near Petaluma. Trains going in either direction will stop upon sign Tickets will be placed on sale to-day for the new sta- tion, which will be known as San An- tonio,' At present, anglers can use only the Schuitz Slough, which is within three minutes’ walk of the station. Later on boats and possibly a club- house will be provided which will open up a wide territory. Two hundred men can fish at one time without interfering with one another. In fifty-one days’ fishing covering the various seasons of the year Mr. Cum- ming has had but three blank days. Cn the other forty-eight he has taken 289 bass weighing 1441 pounds. There are no preserves on the slough and the trip can be made in one day, including tke fishing. ————— ANGLERS Chandfer Will Fight Extradition. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18.—J. E. Chandler, late financial secretary of the Miners’ Union at Idaho Springs, Colo., who is in the County Jail here awaiting extradition, has decided that he will not return to Colorado without a contest in the courts. The attorney for Chandler to-day sued out a writ of habeas corpus in the Supreme Court of the State, which commands Sherift ‘White to produce Chandler in court | ta T AL, Every time Walter Jennings fires Shot | Gun from the stable the strapping son of Artillery makes a report that sounds like ready money. Shot Gun did not carry all of his baggage with him in the Futurity course handicap at Ingle- side yesterday, for he was requested to shoulder,but 113 pounds. From the mannerin which he handled it and blew home ahead of Kenilworth the big one can pick up two or three | bookmakers’ stands, an old boiler or | two from the pumping works, all the lead water pining on the premises and with a stout-hearted steeplechase rider | in the pilot-house can beat most of the ordinary racing material while' the wet weather continues. Muresca, Royal Rogue and Glenden- ning declined the issue, which left a fleld of six to start. Eleven to twenty was the best price laid about Shot Gun. He acted a bit fractious at the post, as did Kenilworth and Evea G. It was a one-horse race, though, when the bar- rier did go up. Jack Martin sent the favorite out in front, and while Kenil- worth made quite a bid in the stretch failed to make good, Shot Gun winning by half a length, with something to give away. AHUMADA A DISAPPOINTMENT Ahumada ran disappointingly, finish- ing fourth behind San Nicholas, a horse | with no especial fondness for muddy going. Speculation was brisk on all six of the different events, and the attend- ance was fair despite the threatening weather. Favorites were three times returned winners. Soufriere, a filly racing in the colors of Dayton & Co., and 15 to 1 in the betting at one stage, took the opening scramble. She was ridden by Ander- son, and outgaming Young Pepper at the end won by less than a length. Harbor was third. Birkenruth on the | favorite Effervescence ran fourth.

Kunz, who rode Young Pepper in the first race, was given three days on the | ground by the judges for rough riding. f He bumped and nearly threw The Ha- wailan on the stretch turn. Mrs. Chandler, as guardian of Jockey Chandler, ‘s seeking an annulment of the contract held on the boy's serviees | by Caesar Young. She alleges that J. | L. Haskell, who formerly held the con- tract and sold the same to Young, is! withholding money due the rider, and the stewards have the matter under advisement. When Toah died the other day at Los | ‘5 Angeles Pat Dunne lost a useful per- former. The fast sprinter was owned | by the Chicago horseman'’s little son, a present from his father, and every purse won by Toah was placed in the bank to the little fellow’'s credit. Charles Boots of the Elmwood stock farm says he was told the infant owner | had a bank roll of nearly $10,000, won antirely by the dead gelding. There are about 1300 horses stabled | on Oakland, Ingleside and Tanforan tracks or in the immediate vicinity of these courses. Los Angeles is welcome to a bundle of them. So far not quite 100 horses have been shipped to Ascot Park. Among the stables that raced here and will be represented at the| southern metropolis meeting are: S. G. Morton & Co., James Curl, S. Polk, P. Wilkerson, Charles Saunders & Co., Ei- lerd & Co., F. B. Smith and Barney Schreiber. The latter horseman has another big batch racing here after shipping sixteen down south. Jockeys J.

The dinner was attended by several members of the House of Commons, the members of the London presentation committee, including John R. Carter, second secre- tary “of the United States embassy; Captain Charles H. Stockton, United States naval attache, and Major John R. Beacom, United States military at- tache, and by nearly 100 American res- idents in London, as well as several who are now visiting here. Consul General BEvans presided and in pre- senting the service said it was unprec- edented for such an honor to be paid a foreigner by the people of the United States, but that Sir Thomas Lipton had won the golden opinions of those from whom he tried to wrest the Amer- ica’s cup. Sir Thomas Lipton in replying said he was a proud man to be the recipient of such a splendid gift, adding: “It will be cherished by me as my most valued trophy.” Referring in a humorous vein to the value of the gift in “raising the wind,” Sir Thomas said that he never really had any difficulty in so doing except at Sandy Hook. He had hoped, he said, to add an interest to the fiscal con- troversy by increasing the British sil- ver imports with that interesting im- the America’'s cup. Having feiled to do so, he found in this silver service a splendid substitute. Speaking with much feeling, Sir Thomas said that if any action of his had tended to the development of a better feeling between Great Britain and the United States, it would be a source of sincere happiness to him to the end of his days, though what he had done was merely a slight return t FIGHTING GAME ACROSS THE BAY Mayor Declares That He Is Opposed to Professional Boxing Contests - in Clubs ORI RN VOTE ON PERMIT i Rumors Strong That a Move to Repeal the Regulating Ordinance Is to Be Made PASSES Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Deg. 18. The fighting game is in serious dan- ger in Oakland. Mayor Olnéy has de- clared his unalterable opposition to the monthly professional boxing contests now being held in this city, and strong- ly expressed himself to-day at the meeting of the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners. That body under authority of an or- dinance is given power to grant or to deny applications from clubs for per- mits to give these contests. Mayor Ol- ney declared Le approved the ordinance because he believed it gave discretion to the Board of Police and Fire Com- missioners to act in the matter of ap- plications. But in operation the Mayor says he has found that it issa case of grant one and grant all requests for permits. It has been strongly rumored in club circles that an attempt would be made after the first of January to repeal the boxing ordinance. Evidence of the in- secure position that some of the club- men felt themselves in was manifested at to-day's meeting of the Police Board, when the Reliance Club filed a petition for a permit to give two boxing exhibitiéns in January, one on the 5th and the other on the 19th. Heretofore each club has confined itself to one con- test night a month. It was this petition that provoked the remarks of the Mayor, who said: “I am opposed to these so-called pro- fessional boxing contests. I never saw one and I never shall voluntarily wit- ness one. It was my bellef that this ordinance gave the board discretion in granting permits. But it looks as If | one must either grant all applications or deny all.” , Repeal of the ordinance, which rests with the City Council, would bar the sport in this city, leaving conditions as they existed last March, when Distriet Attorney Allen decided that the clubs’ contests were illegal. President McElroy of the board ex- plained that the ordinance was passed in conformity with an act of the last Legislature which gave municipalities the right to allow boxing contests to be held under police regulation. The Mayor was excused from voting when Commissioner Turner moved to grant the Reliance Club’s application, the motion being carried by the votes of Commissioners Turner and McElroy. —_———— Mcets of San Mateo Hounds.

America's progress toward the south- ern pole was only hindered by the newly founded republic of Panama and we must work together for the pedce of the world. ‘Blesged are the peace’ makers,” quoted Sir Thomas, who, amid great laughter, finished the quo- tation, “‘for they shall inherit the earth. Sir Thomas said that he had sent a letter to the New York Yacht Club deal-, ing with another possible chaMenge for | the cup. He added that he was quite willing to have one last try, “provided I have a reasonable chance of success, especially as the next Shamrock will be a lucky four-leafed ome.” An entertainment by American art- ists brought to a close a thoroughly | successful event. EDDIE HANLON SEEKS VARIETY AMONG BOXERS All Ambitious Glove Wiclders of His Inches Are Welcomed at the Alameda Gymnasium TR WANTS TO HIT ACCURATELY Uses Big Harry Foley for Wrestling and Bustling About Improvised Prizering e S Eddie Hanlon believes in variety in sparring partners, and all persons of about his inches are welcomed at the Alameda training quarters. The little boxer does not spar with Harry Foley, having found that it im- pairs his judgment of Cistance. A blow that would catch Foley on the jaw would miss Young Corbett by many inches. Hanlon wants to accustom him- self to landing accurately on his box- ing partners as though he was going to fight one of them. His work with Foley is chiefly wrestling and bustling him about the gymnasium. He boxed three hard rounds with Joe Thomas yesterday, al- ternating them with the same number with Foley. He also did a lot of bag- punching. His breathing apparatus séemed in splendid order. In this re- spect he is better at present than his opponent. Corbett puffs and blows while working, fast,sbut this will grad- ually disappear as his condition im- proves. Hanlon fs already nearly at weight and expects to seala 127 or 128 pounds the night of the fight. He says he could fight at 126 pounds if necessary. Corbett’s admirers claim he is the best repeater in the boxing game. His second fight with any man has always been better than the first. He learns & man’s style quickly and plans his campaign of offense or defense rapidly. Hanlon denies having discussed the matter of referee with any one. He has been quoted as saying he would not accept Eddie Graney because the latter did not give him the decision over Corbett. The consensus of opinion at the time of the fight w: that it would have been‘unjust to Corbett to take the championship from him on a hair-line decision and that Graney did the right thing in calling it a draw The baseball nines captained by Ed- die Hanlon and Young Corbett will cross bats this afternoon at Recreation Park at 2:30, provided the weather is clear. Much rivalry exists between the two teams and a great game s e pected. The proceeds will be devoted to the mother of Frank MecCennell, the young boxer who was injured some time ago in his battle with Spider Welch. Harry Corbett will referee. —_——— Coursing Men Are Punished.
