THE-'S FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AP DORMANT PLANS ARE VITALIZED Athletic Field Designed in the Seventies to Find a Duplicate in Park Grounds FUND RAPIDLY GROWS Citizens Subscribe Many Thousands Toward Speed Track and Amphitheater The late Horace Fletcher, a well| known member of the Olympic Club | and an enthusiast on athlet was the designer in 1878 of a great ath- !Jetic field to be built on the site after- ward occupled by the Bay District track. Now the plans of Mr. Fletcher ere just about to be realized in the emphitheater and speed track in #Gol@en Gate Park, for which the spoertsmen of San Francisco are la- boring so falthfullv. The old plans covered a wider scope, for they were intended to take in every amateur sport plavedyin the United States. The old plans provided for a mile wace track surrounding ball, fleld, ten- nis courts, bicycle track and every 'conceiveble arrangement for further- ance of good sport. It was the inten- tion of the Southern Pacific Company Yo foster the scheme at that time, but a number of complications arose and 1t was abandoned. To-day the affalr = about to be consummated in an-| other form The fund for which the Amateur Driving and Athletic Associa working was augmented yesterday !the extent of something like s !President Simpson’s special commit- tee, appointed to call on prominent persons and corporations. Most of this F"Iflu!l was culled from the real es- law dealers, who appreciate the ben- pn' to be derived from a public proj- | ect of such’ proporions. Throughout the week this committee will continue its canvass. The amount subscribed is now near- yly $15,000 and the sum needed is only 10,000 over that figure. With inew blood interested among the ama- teur athletes it appears but a matter of & couple of weeks when the asso- ciation may go to the Park Commis- sion and turn over the whole sum nec- essary for the success of the plan. —_———— RESULT OF THE RACES IN THE EAST AND SOUTH Agueduct, Montgomery and Grounds Tracks Scenes of Some Lively Sprints.

The ordinance | is designed to put a stop to the making | of books in cigar and other stores, con- viction under the existing ordinance being impossible on the plea that the money is not betted in this city, but is sent to Oakland, §nd is not betted on [any system of registration. X Supervisor Brandenstein said that }lhl‘ commercial interests of the city ‘vnle suffering because men and even | women/ employes were betting on the races notwithstanding the existing pro- ‘ | hibitory ordinance. i | Supervisor Comte’s motion that the | clause permitting pool selling' within |the race track for a period of forty days be stricken out was seconded by Supervisor McClellan. The amendment if adopted would prohibit pool selling “I thank the Supervisor for second- ing the motion,” said Comte. “I did not expect it nor do I expect that my amendment will receive ten votes. I |am unalterably opposed to gambling | on horse races anywhere and point to | the embezzlements. =uicide: and other | | crimes resulting therefrom.’ Supervisor Braunhart argued that it | would be futile to close the race track in this city by prohibiting pool selling 80 long as there are race tracks in ad- Legislature fails to pass general prohibitory laws. Comte’s motion to prohibit pool sell- | ing everywhere was lost, it recetving { but three votes in favor—Booth, Mec- | Clellan and the mover. | The vetoes of the two ordinances | extending the prohibitory limits for | | rock crushing and quarrying were or- dered printed once and referred to the Street Committee. The petition of the Pacific Auxiliary | Fire Alarm Company for permission to lay underground conduits, pipes and cables was referred to the Street Com- | mittee. Ordinanctes were finally passed pro- hibiting the use of buildings for im- moral purposes; ordering street work on Hermann, Buchanan and Laguna streets, and regulating' the right of | | way of vehicles on, public streets. i —_— | FIGHT BETWEEN TURNER | AND CORDELL POSTPONED | | Joining counties and the Wednesday, April 27, Set for Second Meeting of These Two | Boxers. The Reliance Club has changed the | date of its big double card from Fri- day of next week to Wednesday night, April 27, owing to a conflict of dates | with the Colma Club.

Brown beaten McConnell twice and thinks that Smith will be no harder for him. | —_———— Haglon Beats Callaban. | PHILADELPHIA, April 15.—Ed- ! die Hanlon of California had the bet- {ter of a six-round bout to-night with | Tim Callahan of this city at the Len- | |ox Athletic Club.

ACCUSED OF GRAND LARCENY.—Eugene was arrested on O'Farrell ed in Every One of the Twelve Events on the Card —_— The special games committee of the Pacific Athletic Assaciation has whip- ped its affairs into shape, and the prospects for the greatest field day ever held on the Pacific Coast are very bright. Herbert Hauser, George James and D. E. Brown are acting on this committee, and they have arranged for the final try-outs to select a team to go to the World's Fair at St. Louis in the fall. This event will take place on Saturday next on the Berkeley oval, and the entries received presage a gen- uine contest in every one of the twelve events carded. In many events of a siinilar nature there are many athletes entered who simply go to swell the number and have no legitimate chance to finish first. Now it is different. There was ne restriction placed on the condftions to govern. Any that cared to try was welcomed, but it has so happened that only the cream of the talent cared to take their chances this time, and the result is apparent in the entry lists. From all over this State and Nevada the best sprinters, jumpers and mus- cular giants are coming to fight for a place on the team. There is a world of talent in each event, and the win- ner will be welcome to journey to the Olympian games, because he will be the best amateur in his class in the Golden West. There is a special delight among the preparatory schools because their favorites will have an opportunity to clash with representatives of Stanford and Berkeley. In academic circles there have been frequent performances of more merit than was evidenced in the last intercollegiate .field day, and the vounger boys are feverishly await- | ing the trials when they may face the sprinters and jumpers from the big colleges. In more than one instance | they seem to have a good chance to snatch the laurels from their elders, | and even the great Abadie may fall be- fore Cope, the Lick champion, at the 100-yard dash. If Cope fails there is yet the clever sprinter Cadogan to ac- count for, and Abadie may have to go under 10 seconds to retain his place on the team. The same may be said of Stanford’s crack, Dunn. In the 220- yard dash and the quarter-mile sprint Cadogan must be looked after, with a string of lesser lights from local schools as dangerous factors. The Nevada State University will have a team on hand; Bakersfield High School will send its champion; two great athletes are due from Southern California and Santa Clara High School will have its colors in severai contests. With all the local wonders in line, the affair will be of great in- tefest apart from the prize trip the boys are seeking. A full list of entries will be given out Wednesday. —_—————— Chutes. Ruth Roland, a dainty little singer and dancer, pleased two audiences at the Chutes yesterday with a taking Indian song, in costume, and Alberta Hadley and Helen Archer made great hits with their comedy sketch, “The New French Maid.” Storey and Van produced sweet music from a number of novel instruments, and the three Malverns, parlor acrobats, and the other newcomers on the programme gave a graceful and daring exhibition. The Robinsons, an ‘amusing colored couple, changed their specialty, and Mabel Lamson, the popular contralto, in new illustrated songs, and the ani- matoscope, showing a complete change of moving pictures, completed an un- usually interesting programme. Prince Pu Lun and his suite enjoyed the per- | of honor. formance in the afternoon. The ama- teurs will appear on Thursday night. —_—— e Jury Is LIocked Up. The jury in the case of Thomas Davis, charged with having assaulted Mrs. A. H. Ames on the steamer Al- liance, retired to deliberate on a ver- dict yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock. As it failed to reach a verdict up to the hour of the adjournment of court, it was ordered locked up for the night. et i g— WOULD CARE FOR ISAACS.—Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger vesterday applied to the Superior Court for letters of guard; ip over the per- son and estate of Hermann Isaacs.

RACETRACK EVENTS AND MATTERS OF INTEREST IN SPORTDOM IEBONY, A RANK 40 TO r OUTSIDER PRESENT BRITT WITH A WATCH Friends Cive a Banquet to Feather-Weight Champion Prior to His Departure WILL LEAVE THURSDAY Manager Willie ,Says That Plans Have Been Altered and Will Delay Starting The fact that Jimmy Britt is not wanting in friends was proven last night, when a hundred or more got together and dined him, wined him and presented him with a handsome gold watch, upon which was his monogram, inlaid with diamonds, sapphires and rubies. The crowd was a merry one, and had not been seated long before laughter and the tinkling of glasses held full sway. One of the most pronounced features of the banquet was Brother Willie's new gray plaid suit. It is of decidedly summer effect and is warranted to lower the colors of any old theatrical manager that Willie may run up against. The Britts have altered their plans considerably and have decided to post- pone their departure until Thursday. As usual, Billy Jordan opened the ceremonies last evening and, after a brief address, in which he toasted Jimmy Britt “as the gamest little champion in all ringdom,” . he said: “Let all be merry and have as good a time as possible. Let ’er go!” George Webster, actor from the Cen- tral Theater, was the next to speak. Rising majestically and with a sweep of the arm that would do justice to a second Booth, he said: “It gives me great pleasure to ad- dress this assembly of Britt admirers, but T must admit that I am just a little bit jealous of the small champion. I fear that after having attached to his belt the scalps of all he has met in the prize ring he may now attempt to gain new laurels in a production of ‘Mac- beth.’ However and withal, I must ad- mit that like unto the Star-Spangled Banner, James Edward's hair still waves on top. Here's to him.” At this juncture Webster presented the token of admiration to the guest Britt arose and said: “Gentlemen, rather friends: I can- not say that this presentation is a sur- prise to me, as the affair has been pub- lished in the papers for some days. I am, however, greatly surprised and gratified at the beauty and value of the gift. But let me say right here. friends; it is not the value of this watch that pleases me, nor is it the beauty of it. I feel deeply grateful to think that on the eve of my departure I have so many friends that will get together and show me that they are sorry I am going away. “When Ifirst went into the fighting game I was presented with a loving cup, upon which was engraved the names of those who gave it. As I look around this evening I see the same friends whose names are on that cup, and they are the nucleus of a founda- tion that has made my way easy to what you may call success. Gentle- m 1 thank you, and am sincerely grag!ful to you for this reception.” —_———— PHYSICIANS TESTIFY AGAINST MRS. BOTKIN Witnesses Are Recalled and Identify Exhibits, Which Is Objected To by the Defendant’s Attorney. The prelimipAry examination of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin on the charge of murdering Mrs, Ida Henrietta Deane at Dover, Del, in August, 1898, by sending a box of poisoned candy to her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Dunning. was continued before Police Judge Conlan yesterday. The proceedings were without marked incident. The cross-examination of Dr. L. H. Bishop was conducted, and Professor R. Wolf of Dover, who made an analy- sis of the poisoned candy, and Dr. P. S. Downs, who was called in to asist Dr. Bishop, gave their testimony. Clerk Wells of Judge Cook’s court appeared with exhibits for the inspec- tion of witnesses. Attorney Reese Clark objected to the showing of ex- hibits and when overruled he wanted exhibits marked and was again over- ruled. Harry C. Pennington, Miss Ethel J. Millington, Miss Josephine Bateman and Miss Leila Deane were recalled. They identified the box of poisoned candy, the wrapper, the note and the handkerchief. Miss Lizzie L. Kemp was recalled and identified the wrap- per.
