SAN MATEO, Dec. 20.—The Reds won in the polo match to-day by a score of 7 to 5. E. E. Ezra of Indlar appeared on the field for the first time and proved himself & very strong player, making three of the five goals scored by the ‘Whites. The other two were made by Dunphy, who, in the last period, ex- changed coats with ¥zra and played with the Whites, after ha\:ng twice scored for the Reds in the preceding periods. Duval scored three goals for the Reds, Driscoll two and Carolan one. The game wgs even better than that of Sunday, the vigorous sky strokes of Ezra being a feature. In a confusion of goals in the fourth pbriod, Driscoll, playing Red, carried the ball across the field and scored goal for the Whites. Discovering his error, he promptly re- peated the performance for his own side. Following were the sides: Reds—T. A. Driscoll, L. McCreery, C. R. Duval, C. Dunphy. Whites—R. M. Tobin, F. J.

Corbett did not want to punish Hanlon upnecessarily and In the next round he begged to have the unequal He mercly jabbed Hanlon, who was still figkiing back at every opportunity. HANLON KNOCKED DOWN. Hanlon went down for the second time in the sixteenth round and Referee Graney then stopped the afiyir. Han- lon vomited blood when taken to his corner and showed other signs of ex- treme physical distress. He was car- ried from the ring and was removed at once to his home. He was badly cut about the face. It is doubtful if he will ever be able to engage in an- other big battle. Corbett showed neither cuts nor braises. His nose bled a little at times, but this did not distmess him. Corbett was mercifu: to his lion hearted opponent and wanted the fight stopped when he saw Hanlon was no longer able to defend himself. The spectators near Hanlon’s corner urged Harry Foley, his chief second, to toss up the sponge. This was not done, the Californian apparently hoping to land one blow which might turn the tide of battle in his favor. Round after round the two great lit- tle fighters stood in the center of the ring like two monarchs of the forest which had locked horns and were bat- tling tp the death. With heads to- gecher they stood and tried all they knew to land a decisive blow. Corbett was much the cleverer of the pair and his blows proved the more effective. Hanlon showed marked improvement over his previous fights and gave Cor- bett some unpleasant moments. In the seventh round Hanlon caught Corbett 2 right swing on the head. It was a little pop blow, which seemed to have no force, but Corbett went to the mat on his back. He was up in an instant, but the blow had apparently rattled him. Hanlon saw this and went in to take advantage of it, but the round ended before he could accomplish any- thing. Hanlon made his big tactical mistake in the eighth round. He was compara- tively fresh, and, instead of rushing in to take all possible advantage of Cor- bett's condition, he started slowly and gave his opponent a needed chance to collect his scattered senses. It was thought he should have put his fortunes to the test then and there, and what the outcome would have been no one can say. BOXERS ENTER THE RING. It was 9:30 o’clock when Corbett put in an appearance. He was first to move toward the ring and a hearty cheer markgd his progress. The little cham- pion was followed by Harry Tuthil], Tim McGrath, Billy Otts and George Sanfransen. He was attired in a blue and white sweater and wore bandages on his hands. On entering the ring he took the northeast corner and sat there edo and a wide expanse of shirt bosom. “Billy” Jordan took the gloves over to Lieutenant of Police Kelly for in- of the fighters. Preparations for the contest were then made. Announcer Jordan presented Hanlon to the crowd and there was a-great cheer for him. Eddie had green trunns and wore & rib- boned belt around his waist. He look- ed in perfect ~ondition. Jordan an- nounced Corbett as the “‘pride of Den- ver and the champion of the world,"” and there was more cheering. Challenges were read from Terry Mc- Govern, who expressed a willingness to meet Hanlon, and from other lesser lights willing to meet the victor. “This will be a twenty-round ‘go, velled Jordan, “and they will fight straight Marquis of Queensberry rules, break by the order of the referee and protect themselves in the breakaway. Let 'er go!” The bell clanged and the two feather- weights strode to the center of the ring. and the fight was on. dmR L BOXERS WEIGH IN HANDILY. Ellis Street Is Thronged With Men Eager to See Feather-Wcights. Ellis street was impassable last night at 6 o'clock when the boxers weighed in. Corbett was the first to put in an eppearance, arriving twenty minutes ahead of the appointed time. It was but the matter of a few moments for him to doff his street clothes and to step on the scales for a private weigh- ing. He was apparently a little anx- jous, although he said he left his quar- ters at the Ocean Beach weighing nearly one pound under the stipulated figure of 129 pounds. He had hardly stepped off the scales when Hanlon entered the room. The two boys sat off in a corner with their trainers. There was a discussion as to when they would enter the ring and the time was fixed for 9:45 p. m. Both boxers apparently wanted to enjoy a substantial dinner before entering the ring for the added strength it would give them. As 6 o'clock approached the boxers made ready to weigh officially. Hanlon was the first on the scales and when the restraining weight was released the bar remained stationary. Corbett then stepped on the scales. The bar trem- bled, but did not raise. After the boxers had donned their street clothes Referee Eddie Graney had a conference with them. He sald that in case it became necessary for some one to toss up a sponge he would recognize only Harry Tuthill in Cor- bett's corner and Harry Foley in Han- lon’s corner. Graney said any second entering the ring during the progress of the fight would be ejected from the building. AR SR AL CORBETT RULES FAVORITE. Is the Choice Throughout All the ‘Wagering on the Fight.

HETAY B R Hanlon Holds a Levee. Hanlon recovered quickly en route home and when he arrived there he ran up the stairs and greeted his mother and sisters affectionately. At the suggestion of his sisters Eddie re- tired to his room, but not to sleep. Many visitors, among them Referee Graney, called and the little Califor- nian held a levee. He consumed largs quantities of ice cream and discussed the fight in all its bearings. He said he was not suffering and would be around town to-da Harry, Foley was indignant at the suggestion that he should have thrown up the spouge before the ref- eree stopped the fight. He said he did not do so because he knew Han- lon was not in danger of permanent | injury. —_— Boxers Get Snug Sums. The total receipts of the Corbett- Hanlon fight were $16,426. Of this the club gets one-half, minus a bonus of 7% per cent, which Corbett re- ceived, amounting to $61597. The boxers divided the purse on a 75 and 25 per cent basis of half the gross re- ceipts. Corbett’s winnings, including his bonus, amount to $6775 72, Han- lon receives $2053 25 and the Hayes Valley Club gets $7597 03. —_——— Identified by Brother. ‘The man who lost his life beneath the wheels of a Kearny street car on Christmas-day at the corner of Pacific and Kearny streets was Joseph Falcet- ti, a scavenger, who resided at 609 For- ty-sixth street, Oakland.

As in previous contests where a championship was involved sporting men from many different States were assembled at the ringside. Among the local ringgoers were men from every | walk in life, who gave fancy prices for seats with reckless abandin. Many who would pass a blind man thirty | times a day without thinking of drop- ping a nickel in his tin cup or else would walk thirteen blocks to save 15 cents when purchasing a shirt, howled themselves hoarse in $10 seats. But that all comes under th2 head of | sporting. . | Quite a delegation was on hand from | Portland, headed by Jack Grant. Others in the “push” were Steve Peuter, Nate Solomon, Sanford Lowengart, Julius Low, Sol Harris and Abe Hess. Johnny Considine, a well-known Se- attle sporting and theatrical man, left the Sound-long enough to see the bat- tle and strung his on the chances of Corbett. Captain Kane, a well-known business and racing man, alsc helped represent Seattle. Oakland, the quiet suburban town just jacross the bay on the further side of Gbat Island and the ferry slips, sent over a noisy cluster of sports with Harold Magill and J. Cal Ewing as promoters. Billy Dixon and several Supervisors were among the rank and file that stood for Magiil's tip on the little North Beach boxer. After the fight the whole party embarked on a scow and were due at the foot of Broadway any time around 5 g. m. The racetrack contingent turned out in full force. “Plunger”’Joe Yeager the chances of Young Corbett. He un- doubtedly did, for placing this small amount would unnerve him no more than licking a postage stamp.

Clarence Kolb of Fischer's, who would rather witness a “‘go” than receive noti- fication of his salary being raised, also got there on time. Marcus Mayer, the widely known manager, was another member of the theatrical profession present. Otto Floto, sporting editor of the Denver Post, had a seat close to Cor- bett’'s corner. Ed Gaylord, a popular and wealthy horseman of Denver, had a swell bet down on the Colorado boy. Blingum and upper séciety circles contributed to the box office receipts also.

The first incident of this sort was during a practice game last week and was considered merely an awkward ac- cident. When it occurred again to- day MeCreery evidently felt aggrieved and shouted to Carolan: “You're getting too fresh, Frank, and if this continues I shall hold you to account for it.” “You can hold me to account for it now if you wish,” *Carolan shouted back, protesting that It was an ac- cident, and adding after more crossfire: “If I were trying to kill you I could do it easily enough.” Both men were angry and their words were easily heard across the feld. had lashed out and caught Corbett clean on the point of the jaw and ed him. ‘When the gong sounded both men weve fighting furiously.
