The Californian went through is work with a dash and snap which indicated the high development of his physical condition. He weighed 134% | pounds before he commenced his work. In the morning he went on the road for | a short run. He did no boxing, and will probably cut it out entirely to prevent possible injury to his hands. He punched the bag for some time and put extra steam into his blows. While Britt’s muscles all show the developing work to which they have been subjected, the casual visitor is im- pressed particularly with his nec muscles. These stand out in knots, as u ible protection agzinst a knockout blow. 3rift's arms look big and his should- ers and chest are also impressive. He | | | * | has none of the gauntness which it was cxpected would show toward the end of | his training. When he takes off five| pounds, as he probably will have to do to make sure of his weight on Friday, he may take on a tucked-up appear-| ance. He showed great strength yesterday while roughing it with Frank Rafael. He forced the latter all around the im- provised ring and would not let him | make a stand. Britt kept up a continual fire of fun- ny remarks while he was working.

The members of the San Francisco | Model Yacht Club picked a poor day | for the opening of the racing season | vesterday at Spreckeis Lake, Golden | Gate Park. It was an ideal day for| racing as far as the wind was con- cerned, but the rain made it impos- sible to finish all the races. The honors were carried off by W.! Roeckner’s Apache, which won three | out of five races. Second honors went | to B. Jurgen's Bulletin, which won the other two races. The Apache also had the distinction of making the fastest time of the day. The Piute, owned hy Forre®#, made the second best time. The Apache and Piute are both scows and not much | to be looked at, much better than that of their trim- mer looking rivals.

Mrs. Ray Storck, the woman that made sensational charges against the | attendants of the California General Hospital several days ago, died at her residence, 2005 Mission street, yester- day. She was a native of Hungary, 42 years old. She is surviyed by her hus- band and four children." F On March 12 Mrs. Storck’s relatives related to the police a tale of alleged brutality which they said the woman had suffered at the hands of the at- tendants of the California General Hospital, on Douglass street. Accord- ing to Mrs. Storck's story, she was taken to the hospital and, while suf- fering agonizing pain, was tied hand and foot and thrown into the cellar by the resident physician. An investigation by the detectives followed, but no evidence to substanti- 1 ate the woman’s tale could be secured. The attendants-at the hospital averred she was insane and that while in the hospital she never left the ward and was accorded the best of treatment. —_———— Alameda | A Frank Dunn, 9-1; The Referee beat Black Coon, 4-3: Sacramento Lass beat Gold Lily, {4-0; Terah beat Yankee Boy, 7-1; High Born | Pleasant beat Cloverdsle, Sylvanus, 5-1; Fre Born beat Renegade Apache, 3-2; The Referee beat Sacramento | Lass, 4-2.

Many Fast Hounds Lose in! | First Round and Cause | Surprise Among Bettors! The Sacramento greyhounds starred {at Union Coursing Park yesterday. | When the deciding course was reached | both contestants were products of the capital city. George Nethercott's Barge, that ever reliable fast one, carried off | the stake, the money, the glory and in ) fact everything that was possible for a greyhound to win. | Silver Heels, however, was there strongly and until the red flag was dis- played the spectators were in a quan- dary. The rival hounds raced after the hare in such a wholehearted and fearless manner that the spectators | kept up the cheering until the great | course was at an end. Barge had the speed and that count- |ed, for the wet, sodden ground was | bad for the hare. Silver Heels ruled a | | favorite at odds of 1to 2. She was slow | | to settle down to work, but when once | started she ran gamely and had a | chance all the time- There were sixteen upsets in the first round. Such fast ones as Sea Lion, Red Rock, Haughty Helen and others went down to defeat to the surprise of the wise bettors. The hares were slow, owing to the cold weather. A large crowd was in attendance. Following | are the results, with Judge P. J.

ANN ARBOR, March 20.—The phe- nomenal feature of the chigan freshmen-Detroit University/ school track meet here last night” was the shot put event, in which Ralph Rose, a varsity freshman, established a new world’s record with a twelve-pound ball. He hurled the missile a distance of 56 feet 31 inches and beat the former record by 1 foot 13 inches. This distance of 55 feet 2 inches was made in 1892 by G. R. Gray of New York. Rose, who is a Californian, re- ceived an ovation and his team mates declared him to be in a class by him- self in all the heavyweight events. ———e—————— TENNIS MEN PLAY BETWEEN SHOWERS ON OLUB COURTS Frank Mitchell and Grant Smith Start a Promising Singles Match—The Day’s Scores. The tennis courts of the California, Club were covered with water most of the day yesterday, but several of the players by working energetically got the water off and played a few sets be- tween showers. Frank ‘Mitchell and Grant Smith started what promised to be a fast and interesting singles match. Both players were rather out of prac- tice, particularly Smith, who had not played for more than a month. Tha first set was a lively and an extremely close one. Smith finally won by an 8-6 score. The second set was played in the rain and Mitchell proved much the better mudlark. In this set Smith was unable to get a game, the score being 6-0 in Mitchell's favor. R. B. Daggett and Harrv Gabriel played two close sets, buoi. of which went to the former by a score of 6-4. Daggett has been practicing regularly of late and there is a marked improve- ment in his game. The only other match played was a one-set one.between Bradley Wallace and H. Spring. Wallace won the set, the score being 6-1. The players are having the usua' difficulty getting used to the new bali3 for 1904, The first lot each year are HOLDS BURGLAR AT BAY. | George Miller Covers Intruder With Gun and Turns Him Over to Police. George Miller, 324 Utah street, held a daring burglar at bay with a shot- gun last night until relieved of his charge by the police.

They are a trifle larger and heavier this year and will prove more satisfactory than ever when the players become accustomed to them. —_——————— Tennis Championship Stopped. A large crowd was on hand to witness the tennis finals in doubles for the | Alameda County championship yester- day at the East Oakland courts. - The first set was finished but the anatch had to be postponed before the second had been more than started. 1 MacGavin and Variel, the crack team from the University of California, were right on edge. —_——— Claim Boxing Law Is Violated. The officials of the Pacific Athletic Association sent a letter to the Super- visors on Saturday calling the en- tion of the board to the violation by the amateur fight club managers of the city ordi ice governing boxing contests.

Reddy's courser Full Moon showed he is possessed of an abundance of stamina as well as great speed. After beating the fast Presidio Boy in the second round it fell to his lot to go against Viking for three unde- cided trials before he could have his colors raised. In the next round in a course with Rector it looked easy for the dog from the Eastern kennels. The talent was so sanguine that their judg- ment was right that 5 to 1 was auoted on his chances. ; Full Moon, to the surprise of all, just ran away from his opponent and be: him by a score of 6—1. Later he wen! out to Reckless Acrobat, the ultimatey winner, after holding him well to the hare. Reckless Acrobat led everything he met in the stake and was the best dox in the going. Homer Boy, the runner- up, also showed to good advantage. Following are the day’s results, with Judge Thomas Tierney's official scores: Open stake, second round—Viking beat Rolla Wells, 5-2; Full Moon beat Presidio Boy, 5-1; Gamblt beat Jigamoroo, 6-0; Rector beat Queen’s Motto, 5-0; Orsina beat Toronto, 10-5; TFenli beat Wattles, 5-0; Little Plunger beat Lily York, 3-0; Reckless Acrobat beat Una, 5.0; Fairy Belie beat Haddington, 5-1; Doc Buins beat Van Nora, 5-1; Yellowtail beat Aurelia, 3-0: Clover Blossom beat Prometbeus, Commercial Traveler beat Colored Lady, .

All one needed to prove the eagerness of the fans to see a ball game after tha long let-up in this city wa- a trip to Recreation Park yesterday afternoon, where Chicago and San Francisco were to have played the first exhibition game of the season. With only slight intervals of clear weather the enthu- siasts still hoped a kind fate would de- cree sunshine at the last moment and they went to the grounds in hordes de- spite the showers that descended for a full hour before the time for play. At 2 o'clock it was seen the grounds would be unfit for immediate use and the dark skies did not portend a decent after- noon, so the crowd was turned back and the ball tossers returned to their hotels. Manager Harris had a little surprise up his sleeve, however, and those who wanted to see the big leagye club in ac- tion will not be disappointed if the weather will permit games to-day and to-morrow. Manager Selee announced that he was not due to appear against Seattle at Sacramento until next Wed- nesday and could stay over here if Harris cared to show on those dates. Harris did care and the matches were straightway arranged,, to be called at 3 o'clock. As Harris may be able to dicker for one or more of Chicago’s extra men the games, will have an added interest. Selee has not actually given a promise to that effect, but he has had several long conferences with the local magnate and it is known such a thing was dis- cussed. Otto Williams, the young in- flelder, who has been sougnt by several of the major leagues, is the one most fancied by Harrls. Willlam Clancy, Oakland’s new first-" baseman, arrived from the FEast last night and will join the team at Hanford to-morrow. He is a raw-boned six- footer and comes with the reputation of being an extra good man. Clancy was to have joined the Chicago Natlonals this spring and $1000 was offered for his release, but he chose to play in Cal- ifornia as he did not relish the ldea of possible bench duty and could not see where his opportunity to displace Captain Frank Chance was brilliant. —_————— GUN MEN MAKE HIGH SCORES AT THE INGLESIDE TRAPS Members of the Golden Gate Club Meet in Their First_Shoot of the Season. The Golden Gate Gun Club mem- bers held their first shoot of the sea- son yesterday at the Ingleside grounds. Though the weather was bad there wis a large attendance and many good scores were made. Iverson won the first-class medal and was warmly congratulated. His work was a surprise, as this is his second season at the traps. After a tie in the second-class shoot Kirkpatrick of Japan and H.

Egan did not ex- tend himself during the game, but at times showed himself fast on his feet and possessed of a quick eye. He used his left hand with as much skill as his right and drove the ball with unerring alm. The ball struck the front wall as if shot from a rifle, and the impact echoed throughout the court. Egan had J. C. Nealon for a partner, and they defeated Alderman James Dumne and Al Hampton the best two out out of three games. The sale of seats for next-Sunday’s contest is large. Al Hampton has only twenty seats left, and standing room will be at a premium. Fitzgerald did not play yesterday. He is in perfect condition. The members will pay $5 a seat to see the champions perform next Sunday and the following Sunday. “When the championship is decided the pair will play exhibition games for the members of the club and their fair friends. As a preliminary to the big contest next Sunday Henry Corey and Jimmy ‘White will play Midgy Maguire and Joe Collins. The following Sunday Henry Corey and Louls Levy, the Oylmpic Club experts, will contest with Joe Condon of the Occidental Handball Club and Al Leach of the St. Ignatius Athletic Club. Corey and Levy defeat- ed Condon and Mahoney last Wednes- day night. A match game between Corey and White and Levy and Maguire was played yesterday, and the former won by one point. It was a game of crip- ples. Corey’s shoulder was out, Maguire had a sore finger, White was suffering from a bad “mit” and Levy's right hand was badly bruised. In the final game Levy and Maguire led and had 20 to their opponents’ 10. Corey took a brace and won out amid great cheering. J. C. Nealon, the veteran, and Alder- man Dunne, Phil Casey’'s side partner, played a single-handed game, and when the score stood 20 to 20 Scorer Jack Gleason called it a draw. The two men played remarkably well and were heart- ily applauded. Following were the scores of yesterday's games: Fgan and_ Nealon.. Dunne and Hampton. J. C. Nealon...

The alternating dark and light with heavy showers of rain kept the rifilemen busy adjusting their sights for { a center shot. The attendance of shoot- ers at Schuetzen Park was far greater than was expeoted under the condi- ) tions. | Joseph Straub, an old-time member of the California Schuetzen Club was the winner of the best bullseye with 257 points; he was closely followed by | Adam Brehm with 323. In the Turners shooting section Otto Burmeister was high man in the medal | shooting with 198 rings, followed by Captain F. Attinger with 196. In the bulseye contest of the Grutll shooting section Charles Muller was high man and won the Adam Brehm m edal. . | Edward H. Benjamin, one of the vet- ! eran sharpshooters of the State, made his appearance on the range and took part in the proceedings of the Califor- nia Schuetzen Club. He demonstrated by his good scores that he was still a master of the rifle. The opening rifle tournament of the season will be held at Schuetzen Park on the first Sunday in April. The pro- gramme is an attractive one and marksmen are eagerly looking forward to the event. The special prize presented for bulls- eye shooting by Philo Jacoby was won by H.

The match was forfeited to the Thistles and a friendly game of two half-hour periods was played, J. D. Robertson acting as referee, with T. Hunter and F. Lynch as linesmen. The ground was in exceedingly poor condition for play, the water standing in deep pools in many places. It was almost impossible for the players to keep their footing, and fine play was out of the question. Though the This- tles had several shots at goal neither they nor their opponents scored.

The match was stopped for a few minutes on account of heavy rain, but was resumed. Dur- ing the first period, which began at 3 o'clock, neither side was able to score, though the Independents had several goal, A. E. Chivers doing splendid work in saving. In the second period T. Fay and Duncanson got one each past the clever goalkeeper. The Fay brothers, as usual, played a strong game, in which they were well support- ed by Duncanson and Mechels.

ODELL CIVES WAY T0 PLATI Politicians Confer and Agree That the Senator Shall Direct the Party PEACE REIGNS AGAIN Understanding Provides Neither Leader Shall In- terfere in Any Contests NEW YORK, March 20.—At a confer- ence held to-night by Senator Platt, Governor Odell, the chairman of the Republican State Committee, and many other prominent Republicans, after an exchange of views and statements by Senator Platt and Governor Odell, it was unanimously agreed that Senator Platt should remain as he has been in the past, the active leader of the party. It was further agreed that in contests for ieaderships in the party there should be no interference in favor of or against any one either by Senator Platt or Governor Odell. The result of the conference was generally interpreted as being equiv- alent to a complete settlement of all points at issue between Governor Odell and Senator Platt, the basis of the compact being the acceptance by the Governor of the offer of the chairmanship of the State Committee. This Is said to have been the point for which the Governor was contend- ing, and in return for the concession he willingly conceded aliegiance to Senator Platt as the recognized leader of the Republican organization of the State. b:ienator Platt after the conference “The atmosphere has been cleared absolutely as a result of the plain talk we had to-day. Republicans in New York State had good cause for alarm up to noon to-day. It looked as if the party might go to the devil, but all that has been avoided. I do not think anything could have brought together the large number of leaders from all parts of the State which met with me ta-day and later met the Governor, aside from myself and one or two others who put the success of the party above all personal consid- erations. I shall return to Washing- ton to-morrow and about Wednesday 1 intend to go p Aiken, 8.

J. A. B. Wilson of Trin- ity Methodist Chureh Sym- pathizes With the Clerks READS COMMUNICATION Takes It for His Subject and Delivers Interesting Sermon on Labor Question P e 5 Rev. John A. B. Wilson, pastor of the Market-street Trinity Methodist Church, delivered a novel sermon to his flock at the services last night. It dealt with the labor question and was the outcome of a letter received by Dr. Wilson from the executive board of the Retail Clerks’ Association of this city. Following is a copy of the letter, which Dr. Wilson read to those present: S| Knowing you to be interestdd and In D eerapathy With all guestions that affect the public, we, the Retail Clerks’ Assoctation of this ciy, would like to have you express Your views upon the subject of that for which ihe assoclation is earnestly contending; namely, the uniform closing hour for all retail stores of 6 oclock five evenings in the week, 10 elock Saturday evenings, Sundays and legal days as days of rest.

Time was in the history of the Shureh wien it afforded an asylum for every CaTOn ‘trouble, A man who had no other friend misht find shelter, food and protection there. I think it is not true to the extent supposed by-many that the church has been on the side of “Him that oppresseth the hire- fing in his wages and that fear not me, saith e Lord.” Sure I am that the Bible is al- ave ‘on the side of the poor in every just contention. 1 want to thank these retail clerks fom mowing In advance that I would speak for them. They are right: they know it: their empleyers know it: the sreat patronizing pub- lic of this generous, fair-nlay city knows it: and the three or four hogs of employers who 0 take advantage 8. STARTS BLAZE Frightened Guests Are Soon Relieved of Their Fears by the Timely Ar- rival of Firemen. Smoke issuing from one of the rooms on the upper floor of the Russ House caused ten minutes of excitement among the guests of that hostelry yes- terday afternoon and resuited in an alarm being turned in to the Fire De- partment. An investigation developed the fact that a careless lodger had left-a lighted Turkish_cigarette lying on a bureau, down which flimes eventually were communicated to the carpet. The fur- niture in the room was rapidly taking on a pyrotechnical appearance when the occupant of an adjoining apart- ment scented smoke and, rushing out into the hallway, gave the ecry of “fire,” which aroused the entire hotel. For a time there was a small sized panic In the hotel, but the timely ar- rival of a chemical engine and the prompt quenching of the blaze soon pacified the guests, who returned to their rooms and began to rearrange their property, which they had hurried- ly gathered together preparatory te flight. The damage was about $50. ~ ket Bisadies e PRESIDENT EXPRESSES HIS THANKS FOR INDORSEMENTS AT RUSS Wires Secretary of Republican State Committee That He Is Grateful to Party. Charles B.
