V YORK, Feb. 25.—Billy De- lany announced to-day that Jim Jef- fries would sign articles next Mo; y 1o fight the winner of the Shar':(‘i?- Munroe contest at Philadelphi. 1 fries said to-dav: et “I am always ready to fight asked and will tackle mf‘iwmnfrhi'} the Sharkey-Munroe scrap. This fight ought to bea hummer. Both are husky, strong and clever, and there hould be a decision before the end of the sixth round. I would like to fight in May, as I intend to take a trip . 1o Burope during the coming summer. There is no chance of the intended nill not being held, because both Sharkey and Munroe have declared they will meet me. San Francisco is the only place, in my opinion, where fhe encounter can be decided, and I think we'll have it out there.” Jeffries takes light exercise daily, and in boxing bouts is as quick and speedy as ever. . —_————— Famous Ball Player Injured. ITHACA. N. Y., Feb. 25.—Hugh Jennings, the famous baseball player 2nd coach at Cornell, was seriously hurt in the swimming tank here to- day. He dived into the tank, which he thought was full of water, but which was empty, and severely in- .jured his head and both wrists. a time he was unconscious. —————— “Bridge Whist,” “Five Hundred” and all other tally cards, M} Euchre,” “Flinch,” “Panic.” “Pit” and 2 the new backs in cards. * Sgn- born, Vail & 741 Market st. good fortume of the mem- | who has a| CORBETT WORKS | THE M BEFORE THRONG Large Crowd Journeys to the Beach to See the Champion Go Through His Stunts 'MAKES BETS ON RACES Appears to Be a Trifle Fat, | but Says He Is Feeling Bet- | { e | The fine weather was hailed with | shouts of delight yesterday at Young | Corbett’s ocean beach retreat.

The Supervisors’ Police Committee vesterday reported in favor of grant- ing a professional boxing permit for April to the Shasta Athletic Club, a new Richmond in the field of profes- sional contest promoters. H. L. For- treide appeared before the commit- tee and said he and H. Bundschu were at the head of the club and in- tended to bring off a contest in good faith and that it was not associated with any other organization. Super- visors Eggers and Boxton voted in favor of granting the permit. Super- visor McClellan voted against the ma- jority recommendation, saying consid- eration should be shown to the Pa- cific and Bay City clubs, which have also presented applications for the April permit. McClellan will file a rhinority report against giving the permit to the Shasta Club. The Lincoln Athletic Club was granted a permit for an amateur ex- hibition in April, notwithstanding a notice from the Pacific Athletic As- sociation that the club had been ex- pelled from the organizatio iz S SIXTY-FOUR FAST HOD’NDé TO COMPETE AT INGLESIDE Good Sport Is Promised When Likely Hounds Meet in Open Stake on Next Sunday.

H. J, Horn and F. Lewin of | ter and Stronger Than Ever | | Travers Is First Astride Three Winners. About the only performance worthy of especialmention at Oakland track yesterday was the well chiseled turn of speed shown by The Mist in the maiden two-year-old event a three and a half furlongs. The filly is a full sister to The Fog, once raced aroung these diggings by the departed Willie Sink, now in France, and until yes- terday’s race a novitiate at the game of racing. She was known to be fast, but this did not prevent her price from soaring upward until 4 and 5 to 1 was obtainable. The regulars and the dele- gation from Pike County, Missouri, contented themselves with seizing all the 8 to & in sight about Bob Ragon. Bullman was to pilot the latter, and that made it all the stranger, for John is recognized as a virtuoso when it comes to guiding youngsters. When Jake Holtman released the barrier it certainly looked gloomy for The Mist, for Jack Martin was pinched by two other starters for a second and could not let the filly dewn. Finally Jack dropped in on the rail, and The Mist passed one after another, winning clev- erly from Edgecliff and Saccharate in :44. Bob Ragon quit badly the last eighth. The winner is a slashing look- ing daughter of Magnet and will take some beating from now on. She is owned by W. H. Hammond and trained by D. Cameron. It was to be expected there would be some surprises, as the track was very muddy; still there were no startling ones. Handpress and Isabellita were | the only winning choices, but none of the other horses earning brackets es- caped the sharpshooters. The eleven starters in the opening sprint were as devoid of class as a clam is of feathers, hence it was a very open betting affair. Dusty Miller at first enjoyed the call, receding later |in the betting and running unplaced. The winner turned up in The Hawaiian, a 10 to 1 shot played down to 8. Trav- ers saved a world of ground on the stretch turn with the outsider, and in a driving finish led Bell on Chaple past the judges’ stand a neck. Red Bird quit and finished third, after cutting out the Another odds and ends assortment started in the mile selling affair, with | Isabelllita ruling an even money choice. { Travers succeeded | mare in first, but it was a very lucky in dropping the win. Elmer L., under moderate hand- ling, closed very strong, only losing the | | decision 10 to 1 and old Searcher at the same | by The latter a n odds ran third. Bullman, in place of Jack Martin, worked a remarkable change in Hip- ponax. The las was in the very questionable looking seven-furlong run won by Whiskers, on which occasion he was never a con- tender. In the six and a half furlong selling number yesterday Bullman | gailed out in front with the Lane entry and he won all the way. Holbrook rode a ridiculously weak race on the 6 to 5 favorite Mocorito, losing - the place to Fair Lady Anna by more than a length. With a competent rider up, the first choice could have won. Only Johnny Daly's clever handling of Handpress won the fifth race for RBilly Magrane's littie Hanover horse. Handpress was deprived of a purse the day previous through ill racing luck and closed a 2 to 1 favorite. Daly out- broke his field at the start and hustling the first choice all the way he stalled off the late challenge of Buxton astride Galanthus, getting the verdict by a neck. Had the last named horse not been compelled to travel the overland route he would have been returned the winner. Travers finished a good third with Harbor. With such rapidity had the track dried that the last event over a mile, at one time considered a good thing for Diderot, was now conceded to Axmin- ster. BuXton had the mount on Billy Randali’s horse, which was sent to the post an 8 to 5 favorite. At the first turn Buxton managed to get involved in a bumping match, which materially lessened his chances. Travers rode a splendid race on Diderot, moving along from third position at the right time and in a mild drive disposed of the tardy arriving Axminster by more than a length. Flaneur, after making the pace for seven-eighths of the route, iost the place by a nose. I Know fell in for strong support, but cut no figure in the running. Dr. Rowell's apprentice, Travers, is apparently destined to fill the vacancy left void by the departure of Hilde- brand. Travers was first past the wire yesterday on The Hawaiian, Isabellita and Diderot, and in no instance was it a case of cakewalk. Hipponax was boosted $200 over his entered selling price by Harry Robin- son. No change of ownership. ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

The prisoner gave the name of Henry Blume, but he has also been known as H. Blaune, Henry Brown, H. Bracker and H. Beck. Blume on February 22 called at the office of the Imperial Glove Company, 1236 Mission street, and represented that he was a merchant in Sonora, Calave- ras County. He ordered $300 worth of gloves and took twelve dozen, the re- mainder to be sent to the ferry ad- dressed to Blume. He gave the com- pany a check on a bank in Sonora, but R. Griswaid, one of the partners, learned that no one of the name of H. Beck, which Blume had given, had an account at the bank, and the parcel was not forwarded. While Blume and Griswaid were walking downtown after the order was booked they met Mayor Schmitz, and Blume warmly shook the Mayor’s hand. Blume sold the twelve dozen gldves to A. Sommer, a second-hand dealer at 503 Pacific street for $12, and had arranged with Sommer for the disposal of the balance of the $300 worth. Blume had been living at the Windsor Hotel under the name of Henry Brown, a retired ! merchant, and took his departure leav- jing an unpaid bill for board and lodg- ing of $56. Blume on July 13, 1893, was sentenced to serve three years in San Quentin for obtaining money by false pretenses in Los Angeles, and on May 21, 1896, he was sentenced to serve eight years in Folsom for passing fictitious checks in Los Angeles County. On March 12 last Palice Judge Cabaniss sentenced him to serve three months in the County Jail for obtaining money by false pre- tenses. ————————— PROBABLE WINNERS. _First race—Nellie Bawn, Billy Moore, Possart. ] : Second race—Sir Tom Tiddler, Pick- Towers. Glissando, T TOURS EUROPE FOR THE FAIR Machinery Exhibits for Ex- position, Lecturing Here Lieutenant Godfrey Lynet Carden of the United States revenue cutter ser- vice, who is at present assigned to duty in the machinery department of the St. Louis exposition, is at the Pal- ace Hotel. The officer only recently returned from an extended trip through Europe in the interest of the exposi- tion. He was assigned by the Wash- ington authorities to the Pan-Ameri- can Exposition as superintendent of the munitions of the War Department, and having made a success of his work there his services were asked for by the management of the fair at St. Louis. During his recent travels abroad Lieutenant Carden visited all the important machinery manufactur- ing centers, including the big gun plants, and has since made several in- teresting reports of his observations to the St. Louis Commission and written a number of technical articles for the scientific papers of this country. It was these reports and contributions to the papers that prompted the St. Louis Exposition Commission to start him out on a lecturing tour, which has already included addresses at many of the lead- ing colleges and other institutions of learning in the East and Middle West and will include many more before his trip has ended. His itinerary in this city includes two lectures, both at the Young Men's Christian Associatian’s all. The first was delivered lasi even- ing and the second will be delivered to-night. Next week he will speak at Stanford, and then proceed eastward to keep engagements at other colleges. All of Lieutenant Carden’s lectures are illustrated with photographs which he took while visiting the various big manufacturing concerns of Europe, among them the Krupp Gun Works of Germany, and he dwells mainly on the comparative magnitude of the estab- lishments of the different European countries, their methcds of manufac- turing great machines and the condi- tions that exist there in the way of making those :.anufacturers strong competitors commercially and in science and progress to this country. Discussing his c¢bserva- tions ~ yesterday afternoon, Lieu- tenant Carden said that while the United States was keeping apace, if not in advance of the rest of the world in the matter of mechanical construc- tion, it had yet neglected to pursue the economi methods practiced in Eu- rope. With its great facilities for man- ufacturing and its technical knowledge, this country, he declared, is proceed- ing in its art of mechanical construc- tion in a wasteful manner, and he cited many kinds of machinery in which his the ‘modern locomotive and the furnace blast, with their enormous percentage BASEBALL MEN IN 1 QUANDART Morley’s Sudden Resignation Comes as a Big Surprise to “Fans”and Magnates Alike NO ACTION IS TAKEN If Southern Manager Decides | to Stand Pat, His Suecessor Will Shortly Be Named The abrupt resignation of Manager James F. Morley as head of the Los Angeles baseball team has caused no end of talk and comment among the followers of the game in this city, and fans and magnates are in a quandary. Ever since the southern city was ad- mitted to the league three years ago Morley has been a prominent figure in the league and no one ever thought of 1 his resigning. What the final result of the matter will be is something unknown at the present time. Many are of the opinion that Morley will come into the fold again when he is patted on the back by the officers. The southern magnate still retains his interest in the team and his resignation will in no wise =affect the nine, though Morley is the largest stockholder. The whole matter was the result of the action taken by the committee ia awarding First Baseman Dillon to the Brookiyn club. Morley was a member of this committee and voted against such a measure. When he was notified that Dillon was lost to him his resig- nation was the result. It has been forwarded to President Bert of the league by wire, but so far Bert has not accepted it. He is not quite ready as yet and probably wants to give Morley another chance to make | up his mind finally. If Morley does decide to stand pat the directors of the Los Angeles Baseball Club will in all elect a successor to. Morley. It is thought likely that John Brink, who is acting temporarily in Morley's place, will get the latter's job should he desire to take it. nates here have nothing to say nor do in the matter and apparently do not care one way or another whether Mor- ley quits or stays with the ship. . LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.—The res- ignation of Manager James Morley of the Los Angeles baseball team has not vet been accepted by the board of di- rectors of the local this afternoon Director John Brink, who is acting as ex-officio chairman, | stated that it was likely that no meet- ing would be called until he had Coast League. He is awaiting an an- swer to his telegram sent to President | | | players to the National League. , —_——— SUCCEED COUNT MUTSU AT WASHINGTON Secretary Eki Hioki, Formerly tached to the Legation, Returns From Long Absence in Orient.
