THE JACK JOHNSON HEA\/Y WEIGHT CONTEST IS POOREST SEEN IN Spectators THIS CITY IN MANY YEARS Applaud Satirically the Feeb'e Efforts of the C‘o_lored Giadiators and Then Silently Retire From the Scene of the Alieged Battie---McVey Shows No Qualifications as a Boxsr Twenty seconds before the close of the twentieth round in their fight in Paviilon last night Jack knocked out Sam McVe This brought to a close one of the poor- est fights ever see» in this city. It marked the fust exhidition of - the Shasta Club, which butted into the boxing game here only to give it a de- cided setbaek. For a time the spectators applavded satirically the feeble swings and jabs Of the boxers. Then they jcersd the alleged gladiate them made thei re, and flr’alh many way out of the buld- ing, leaving a small proportion of the | to the body.

With all his strength and ruggedness, he showed no signs of aggressivenes &nd will never make a fighter. Johuson showed all the cleverness | for which he is moted. He landed an | incredible number of blows on Mo~ "Vey's head, but he never followed up his advantage. He had his opponent in distress several times, but he re- *fused to take a chance and backed away out of danger. All sorts of re- marks were directed at the boxers, #ut the one that brought down the house was uttéred by some one at the ringside, who seid: *“Cease this bru- tality.” - As hardly a good blow had been struck for ten rounds the humor of the remark pleased the weary spec- tators.

Johnson went after him again in the segond round, sending in rights and lefts with great regularity. MeVey seemed to shake up Johnsonm early in the third round with a right to the body and then missed some wild swings to the head. Johnson landed twe hard rights to the body in the fourth round. Johnson varied the fifth round by trying first for the head and then for the body. Johnson -staggered McVey in the sixth round with a right to the head, but the bell stopped@ proceedings before | he could do any further damage. The fight ‘slowed down to a snail’s pace in the seventh and eighth rounds and the crowd yelled to “throw them out.” Johnson livened things up in the ninth round, staggering McVey with a | right to the head. Most of the fight- {ing done during the evening was in this round. Johnson wrestled McVey {'down in the tenth round and kept up his piston rod left.

It reminded the ancient fans of the days of the old Haverleys yesterday afternocn when Pete Lohman's Oak- land tossers began to wallop the ball in the ninth inning. They batted two runs over the rubber to the tune of the joyous yells of the multitude and then quit. So Tacoma triumphed, 3 to 2. But that finish was a real Garrison boy and will be remembered some. With one out, Kruger hit an easy one He threw badly to first and 80 the runner was safe. Then Dun- leavy popped up a “Texas Leaguer” to center, which many went after but no one caught. Schafly tore a torrid bingle right past the first base line | and Kruger came romping home amid the yells of the multitude, Dunleavy got to third on the hit, and when Streib produced a long fly | to left field Dun chased over the plate. { Then Brick Devereaux responded with 2 beautiful drive to right, which sent Schafly to third. At this point the en- | thusiasm of the crowd knew no bounds. | Devereaux promptly stole'second, and Dr. Moskiman, the ever rellable, who has batted in many a run in his time, was called in to take a crack at the ball in place of Bottiger. The fans were breathless when St. | Vrain threw two balls and two strikes | to the doctor. Then a fast one cameé sailing over the ribber and the medi- cal man swung on it. But the ball only got as far as second and Casey quickly devoured it, putting an end to a great game. Young Emerscn, the youth from San Joee, made his first professional ap- pearance as a pitcher for the Oakland team and should have won his game. The youth made a great showing, keep- ing his hits scattered all the time and fielding beautifully. Two of the Ta- coma runs came in on errors by Bot- tiger and Streib and the tnird was the result of a home run by “Truck” Eagan the fourth inning. “Truck” hit the leather over the left field fence for the longest drive of the season. 8St. Vrain, for Tacoma, pitched a won- | derful game and had the Oakland play- ers completely mystified in every in+ ning but the ninth, when they made such a noble bid for the game. He | struck out eight men in all and walked but two. The score: Oakiand— 1 oma— ABR. H.P.A.| AB.R. H. P.A.

The new green in Golden Gate Park was found,in exceilent condition last Saturday by the Scottish bowlers. It had not been used for several months | and after the heavy rains the grass- is green and fresh and the earth firm. Many of the players were out of prac- tice, but the weekly games will soon put them in good shape. Only two tournament matches were played last Saturday, when the first doubles tournament was commenced. the first jround, in which there are sixteen | matches. In the upper half the best match will be between John Reid and J. M. Earsman and J. M. Duncan and M. L. Crowe. These teams are evenly match- ed, with the odds slightly In favor of Duncan and Crowe. Another good match in this half will be Samuel Irv- ing and Robert Park versus J. Stott and J. McLaren. The latter are con- sidered the stronger of the two, but will have no easy time winning. | In the lower half two close games are expected. A. Foreman and J. C. Moffat will meet W. A. Cook and J. W. Elder. Moffat is the champion and with so clever a player as Foreman for a partner stands probably the best chance of winning the tournament. Cook and Elder are a strong team and their opponents will have to do some clever bowling to beat them. The last match of this round also promises to be close and interesting. Y. C. Lawson, one of the cleverest bowlers in the city, with Alex Craig, another expert, will try conclusicns with Dr. Hamilton and W. R. Eaton. Hamilton showed great improvement in the last singles tournament, in which he beat some good men. In measuring the bowls used last Saturday it was found that those used by David O'Brien had two small a bias and were not up to the standard. For this reason the match between O’Brien and Joseph Gray and T. Aitken and H. L. Tickner will have to be played over. O'Brien was substituted for the Rev. Mr. Guthrie. O'Brien and Gray won the match last Saturday, but will have a hard time doing so again, as their opponents make a strong team. The following teams will meet in the first round: J. P. Taylor and W. H. Stewart ve. Alpx Hay and A. McNair, John Reid and J. M. Bareman ve. J. M. Duncan and M. L. Cro Samuel _Irving and Robert Park vs. J. sPAgt and J. Mcunn. J. 8. Webster and G.

His feat of yesterday has not been sur- passed by any rider during the season. Again favorites made a standoff of it, capturing three events. The track was not fast, but by this afternoon should be in good condition. The usual crowd was present. Piayed frem threes to 11 to 5 favor- itism, Solinus led from start to finish in the opening number. Nellie Bawn, Toto .Gratiot and Judge Voorhies, all well backed ones, ran wretched races. San Lution, a 20 to 1 shot, took the show, three lengths before Nonie. Sileo ruled a 3 to 5 favorite for the two-year-old scramble. The. St. An- drew colt had Sheehan up and was rid- den out, a couple of lengths before Pearl Waters. Cardinal Sarto finished third. Billy Cahill's Sweet Tooth outclassed hig company in the six and a half furlong run, wirning without effort. The big brown remained a 7 to 10 chance throughout the betting and led Shell Mount and Doj## Weithoff past the judges, with pounds to spare. There was no question about stable | instructions beating Handpress for the mile selling fixture. _Billy Magrane's | little horse was a pronounced choice and soe Jones was told to wait on Kitty Kelly the first part of the run- ning. When Jones finally did get to work in earnest he could not overtake Kitty, the mare scoring by about half a length. Mocorito, backed down from 10 to 7, ran into the show. Likewise did the next winner come from the Stanfield stable. A. B. Cook, a 15 to 1 shot, jumped away in front at the start of the six-furlong selling affair and was never headed. Lady Atheling, with Knapp up, closed very strong, losing by but a neck, at odds of'20 to 1. Scherzo ran third. Sher- wood piloted the 3 to 2 favorite Ocy- rohe, and his effort was a farcical one. Charley McCafferty's Golden Light upset calculations completely in the final mile and fifty-yara event. Solon, hammered down from threes to 6 to 5, was supposed to be in and the smart ones distressed themselves getting aboard. The good thing led into the stret¢th and was then beaten out half a length at the wire by Golden Light, ridden by Herbert. Hermencia seemed to sulk. . NOTES OF THE TRACK. This is Fabiola day at Oakland track and a card of unusual merit is offered racegoers. Among other features is a race for gentlemen riders, which it is expected will attract society in large numbers. Complimentary badges will not be honored on this occasion. J. F. Newman left with Don Domo. Our Bessie and Burnie Bunton for Chi- cago last evening. In the same car went Sad Sam and Royalty, owned by Harry Green, and Beau Ormcende, the latter the property of Mrs: E. L. Kripp of Sacramento. Jockey Sherwood departs to-day for Chicago, and Jed Lewis leaves for his home in Texas. The latter was a star at Ascot Park, but rode in poor form at Oakland. < Oswald Bianchi secured another of the McCafferty string yesterday. He bid up Golden Light from $500 to $1000, at which figure the Eastern horseman let the gelding go. The Petaluma meeting opens on May 13 and runs for thirteen days. A boat | will leave Tiburon ferry every day at 11 a. m., and the first race will be called at 1:05 p. m. Returning a train will leave Petaluma at 4:15, landing race- goers back in the. city before 6 o’clock. Fare for the round trip is $1. Applica- tions for more than 250 stalls have been made, and several of the bookmakers now chalking odds at Oakland will have a shy at the game. ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

TROUT FISHERMEN AWAIT THE CLEARING OF STREAMS Each Succeeding Shower Serves as a Dampener of the Hopes of the Anglers. Each succeeding shower of rain since the opening of the trout fishing season has proved a dampener to the hopes of the fishermen, as it has had the effect of retarding the clearing of the streams. The season will be un- usually late, but when vacation times come the sport will be at its best. There has been considerable fishing about Santa Cruz with bait, although all the streams are reported high. The prospects for good sport later on are better than they have been for years. Doc Watt, who spent several days at Boulder Creek lately, took one four- pounder. Considerable fishing is belnx done at ; clubs affiliated with the league. Sims and Dunsmuir on the Upper Sac- | ramento. The largest fish taken scaled four pounds two ounces. Sam Heller and Achille Roos have returned from Truckee. The river is overflowing its banks and the fishing is poor. Good returns are expected about May 1. The fishing was poor at Poin® Reyes last Sunday. The fish seem to go in and out on a tide and the visitors happened on a time when they were out in the waters of Tomales Bay. Among the sportsmen on the stream from this city were: W. Barnes, J. B. Kenniff, Charles Breitenstein, Sam Wells, Bert Spring, Ed Banker, Frank i Dolliver, W. A. Cooper, Dr. W. Louis- | son, Al Lachman and Ed Lynch. A. M. Cumming and wife leave shortly for Klamath Hot Springs for the first of their fishing trips of the season. Last Saturddy a party made up of James P. Sweeney, Dr. A. J. Sylvester, J. Peltier, Dr. W. R. Cluness Jr., Dr. Geotrge Sweeney, Dr. Wegbron and J. B. Hauer made a fihing pilgrimage to Carmel River near Monterey. The total catch was more than 200 fine trout. They found the Carmel small and clean. The fish took both spoon and fly readily. It is reported that all the coast streams below Monterey, notably the Big and Little Sur, are af- fording excellent fishing. Colonel Ballantyne ram a good race. FOOTBALLERS G0 T0 GARDEN CITY Champion Team of Thistles Will Play Eleven Picked From Six League Clubs The last a;n;;tim football match of the present season will be played at | Agricultural Park, San Jose, to-mor- row for the benefit of the medal fund. The Thistle team, winner of the 1904 champicnship of the California Associa- tion Football League, will play against an eleven made up from the six other The train leaves Townsend-street depot at 9 a. m., the price of round-trip tick- ets being $1. Tickets may be procured from any member or at 116 Geary street. The ball will be kicked off at 2:30 p. m. The teams will be made up in the fol- | lowing order: Thistles. Lowe. . Tierney. Forrest. Taylor. Duncan Position. Duquesne ‘Of the Rest of the League team the three Fay brothers and Duncanson are members of the Independent team that won the only game lost by the Thistles during the season; Mathieson, Du- quesne and Churchill are members of the Alblon Rovers; Petersen and Tur- ner are Vampires; McKenzie is-of the Oakland Hornets and Chivers of the Occidentals. The reserves are John of the Albion Rovers and Milne of the Oc- cidentals. Many good judges of asso- ciation football are of the opinion that the Thistles will prove vietorious, in- ‘asmuch as the players opposed to them, though individually good, are placed in positions to which they are unaccus- tomed and with partners whose work they do not know familiarly. ‘ PROBABLE WINNERS.
