Turner's right and left swings came in one, two, three, four order at the finish, catching the Hayes Valley lad clean on the jaw and set- |tling a fight that for eight rounds of the | ten before the knockout was Cordell's on points. The white lad’s advantage in reach gave him the best of the box- ing, and it was when he closed in on Turner that Rufe landed his stiff swings which settled Cordell's game. The Hayes Valley contingent was hopeful for a while that the contest would go the fifteen rounds, but Turner, jabbed as he was, did not in- tend that it should end that way. Just before he started to the center in the eleventh he whispered “I'il get him in this round.” Cordell did his best work in his straight jabs with the left to the face. His tries at Turner’s body did not avail. Indeed the finishing blows came while Cordell was essaying stomach punches. CORDELL IS DOWN. They started off in the first round { with Turner swinging hard and land ing a couple of knockdown blows. Al the opening of the second Cordell went to the floor under a whirlwind of swings, and then the white lad began to lead with his left, using it constant- Iy to Rufe’s head. Turner missed swings repeatedly, his blows falling short. Then the fight settled down to a continuous performance of left jabs from Cordeil to the negro’s nose. From the fourth to the tenth round Turner did very little work, occasion- ally making a rush into Cordell, but failing to do any damage. Jack appeared to gain with the progress of the fight, and, if anything, that cost him a victory on points. His constant jabbing, how- ever, was not strong enough to more than keep Turner's nose bleeding. With the opening bell in the elevehth Turner jumped in and with a heavy left put Cordell to the floor. Jack took George Harding’s count of nine and was up in time only to go down again under another terrific jolt. Turner put in a third as soon as Cor- dell straightened out, and the finish came with the fourth, a heavy right straight to the point of the jaw. BETTING IS PANICKY. Rufe Smith, “lightweight champion of Colorado,” secured the decision over Young McConnell of the Reliance Club in the tenth round. Smith, though eighteen pounds lighter than the Oak- lander, simply played with him. Mec- Connell must learn not to do his fight- ing on the floor. Young Dempsey of West Oakland and Kid Kennedy of the Eureka Club fought a lively four rounds to a draw. When the betting opened in this city yesterday afternoon Turner was in- stalled an 8 to 10 favorite. There was a heavy play on Cordell early in the evening and the betting shifted com- pletely around. Cordell went into the ring a 7 -to 10 favorite. It was thought for a time that the betting had a bad look, but the result did not bear this out. confidence —————————— Police Commissioners. The case of J. H. Kennedy, who is on the civil service list in line for ap- pointment as a police officer, occupied much of the Police Commissioners’ time last’ evening. Kennedy should have been appointed last January, but certain charges were made against him and he lost his place in line at that time. The Civil Service Board found that the charges were false and the Police Commissioners wish now to appoint Kennedy, but want the former board to again certify to hisname. This the civil service people refuse to do, saying they have already done so. The matter will be settled amicably at the next meeting. Policeman Thomas P. Kinch was fined $50 for not reporting for duty and Policeman James Gill was found guilty of being intoxicated, but will not be sentenced until next Tuesday night. —_——————— Lawyer Wants Will Probated. Attorney F. W. Sawyer filed a pe- tition in the Superior Court yesterday asking that Frances Noonan, widow of the late Jeremiah Noonan, explain why she did not file her husband's will for probate. Jeremiah Noonan died in 1901, leaving considerable Eastern and San Francisco unimprov- ed real estate and a large sum of money in the bank. Since his demise his widow has managed his furniture businéss in this citv. Mrs. Noonan said last evening that she would file the will forthwith, her failure to do so to date being due solely to negli- gence., —_—————— Baseball Grounds Submerged. The Oakland baseball grounds were submerged yesterday and when the Oakland and San Francisco teams ar- rived to line up for action the players discovered it would be necessary to bave bathing suits instead of baseball garments if they were te play ball. The game was declared off, much to the disappointment of a large gather- ing of fans from this city and Oak- land. The teams will play this after- noon at Recreation Park if the clear weather holds out. ——— Modern Woodmen to Entertain.

Be- ginning with Reeves and ending wlth Criss Cross every first choice was led away to the stable wearing a brand new set of winning brackets. The regu- lars were out in full force and the| major portion of the bookmakers were hard hit. The feature event was the handicap at six furlongs, for which the Jennings | pair, Letola and Nigrette, had a de- cided call. Sad Sam tried to make good with his 114 pounds, but Letola, piloted by Travers, passed him when ready, and won by four open lengths from Ocean Dream, the second choice. Nigrette finished third and with any sort of fair handling could have been second. REEVES WINS HANDILY. Reeves, the entry of Lamasney Bros., lcoked a legitimate 7 to 10 chance f?r the opening event, still the books laid 3 to 2 at the start off. Bonner rode the bay horse, which won as he pleased. In a hard drive Mountain landed Edu- cate, a 16 to 1 shot, in the place, & neck before Salto. Colonel Ballantyne made his first appearance this season and ran a fair sort of race, even if he col- lected nothing for his owner. Napa Stock Farm’s stake winning filly Arisbe looked far and away the best of the five starters in the two- year-old scramble and the liberal price of 7 to 10 could be had about her. She had Frank Otis on her back and, catch- ing Sea Air at the paddock, scored handily by more than a length. Harry Stover's George P. McNear took show honors from Inspector Halpin. Harry Thatcher did not start in the six and a half furlong run next decided and Optimo enjoyed first call at odds of 6 to 5. The gelding was ridden by Crosswaite and, beating his company away from the barrier, only gallioped from start to finish. Sue Johnson tired perceptibly as the stand was ap- proached and Vanderbout, on Pencil Me, secured the place. GALANTHUS IS FIRST. ‘With Diderot to all outward appear- ances a member of the has been class, the mile and seventy-yard number looked easy for Galanthus. The talent fell on the Coffey horse with both feet, forcing the odds down to 7 to 10. Dide- rot showed speed for something over a quarter of a mile, when the favorite ‘went to the front, winning without ef- fort at the close from Chickadee. I O U, at one time hopelessly out of the running, tock third place from the weakly ridden Frank Woods. Buxton's ride on El Piloto in the last race was a gorgeous piece of nonsen- e EarEnthriaisain. Blgyrat 5 ke ‘wich time, “Frisco” Hoag's gelding was 1 year 7 months 29 days 3% hours 16 minutes the best and thus finished sec- ond. There was some talk of the race being a ‘‘shoo-in” for Criss Cross, which mare closed equal choice with Oro Viva. Possibly it was only idle gossip, such as is handed around on tracks every day. At any rate, Oro Viva got away badly and Criss: Cross ‘won by half a length from the wretch- edly handled El Piloto, o Napa Stock Farm’s great filly Arisbe, winner of the Bell stakes, will meet | Pinkerton again on Saturday in the | Gebhard stakes at Oakland.

SAN JOSE, March 29.—Johnny Reift, one of the greatest of American jockeys, announced to-day that he will retire from the track. “There is one thing sure,” said he, “and that is I will never ride in America, and un- less I receive my license to ride in France I will ride no more. If the license is granted I may go to France this spring.” Reiff is at the home of his parents ‘near this city. Since he was injured by being thrown at Chicago last sum- mer Reiff has grown heavy. He is far beyond his usual weight and it would be almost impossible to get to his for- mer condition. Reiff has been prom- ised reinstatement upon the French turf, but it is so long coming he has almost given up hope. Besides the fine home they pur- chased for their parents it is said that both Johnny and Lester Reiff have saved fortunes from their riding. Johnny Reiff says he will go into the horse breeding business in this vicin- ity. He will purchase some thorough- bred mares and will raise race horses. ——— e Would Take Purrington’s Place.
