T team is giving exhibitions at points along the route. BSince their organization two years ago the In-/| dians have lost but one contest, that | defeat occurring several weeks after | the team was formed. et S Hayes Valley Club Events. As e preliminary for the big battle | on the 17th the Hayes Valley Club announces the following card of bouts | to be pulled off at Woodward's Pa- villon on the night of June 16: George Peterson vs. Ted Wolff, wel- ter-weights; Joe Carroll vs. Tom Sul- livan, feather-weights; Jack O’Brien ws. Abe Label, 118 pounds, return match; Jim Kane vs. Charles Dunn, | 125 pounds; Harry Tenny vs. Dick Murray, 115 pounds; Jack Doyle vs. Joe Kelly, 118 pounds; Frank Wells ve. Jack Bradshaw, 115 pounds. Dick Adams, who has followed Jef- fries ever since the beginning of his fistic career, like a coach dog under a buggy, was one of the interested spec- tators of Munroe’s work, and he came away in a thoughtful mood. He said: They've been telling me that Munroe couldn’t } be moved around with a steam derrick, but don’t you belleve that. I went out there ex- pecting to find a man that you could tie a | thoroughbrea horse to during a fight and he wouldn't even jerk the bridle. Forget these vain words. Munroe is not the bronze etatue I belleved him. He gets around on his feet womerfully fast for a heavy man. I don't think he is as good in foot work as Jeflries, but the percentage is not heavy enough to decide & fght outside of other points. MUNROE I8 A FIGHTER. Munroe is no club boxer, who slaps in two ounces of glove and then jumps clear across the ring. He is a fighter, but at the same time handy encugh on his feet not to trip himself up. He is always on top of his man and he has one cf the wickedgst rights I ever have seen. He is aiso good &t quick jabbing with his left. It was apparent that he has strength, courage and good nature. During one of the bouts he received a scratch on his nose and the man boxing with him kept play- ing for that. Munroe did not mind it and merely blocked and feinted, occasionally de- livering a phantom punch, which, if cut loose, would have landed his opponent somewhere near the Farallones. ‘When Adams was informed that Jef- fries desired a postponement of two weeks he screwed up his mouth, but declined to discuss the causes of such a request. Munroe, Andy Gallagher and a few other friends took a ride in an automo- bile yesterday. The chauffeur tried to make a '(‘]'V.\P finish with the steps of Sheehan’s Tavern and nearly dumped the party out. He beat the steps out for one plank, but lost a tire from the front wheel of the machine. BOXES WITHOUT REST. During sthe training Munroe took on Owen Sullivan, Jack Sull, Frank Mc- Dermott and Masso and Foley of the Olympic Club. He fought a three- minute round with each of these with- out resting and then took on Andy Gallagher for heavy work without taking a breathing spell. The work closed with another round with Galla- gher with a breastplate on. and here the miner was able to extend himself somewhat without danger of hurjing his opponent. This made twenty-three minutes of fast work without a breath- ing spell. Munroe has a shoulder and elbow movement that is novel and may¢ be dangerous. He leads a short blow with his right and apparently misses. Then he comes back with his elbow to the| solar plexus and his glove is there | again as he withdraws the elbow. | a deceptive blow _and a hard one and It is particularly difficult to block, Billy Rogch would like to have any of the amateur or professional heavy- weights who desire to try Munroe out visit the quarters any day during the boxing and they will be accorded a chance. Harry Pollak and Young Corbett left | New York yesterday on their way to | this eity. ‘What few bets that have been regis- tered on the result go far are at the odds of ten to four on Jeffries, and even money that he will win inside of ten rounds. —_————— Al Neill Loses at Sydney. Al Nefll, well known in this city, was defeated in Sydney, Australia, on May 10 last by an Australlian fighter named “Soldier” Jack Thompson. It teok less than two rounds to put him down for the count. The Sydney pa- pers say that Neill was probably out of training, but showed much clever- ness during the first round. ADVER!

N MARKES OVERTURES: 1O BELAY THE “BIG BILL” KNAPP LANDS A WINNER : ON WHICH HEAVY PLUNGE IS MADE Starter Dwyer Recov- ering From Surgi- cal Operation. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, June 6. — An ‘“old-fash- ioned killing” was made by Frangible in the first race at Harlem this after- noon. This one-time popular horse on the local tracks was “the goods” to- day and when he opened at 20 to 1 there was a rush from every quarter of the ring to get aboard. When the bugle call sounded the horses to the post, Frangible had been backed down to 11 to 2 and money was still going on him. Frangible broke next to last in a field of eleven, but his jockey, Knapp, gradually wore down his field, got up to third position in the stretch and in the final eighth the old horse ran over his field and won going away, with a length and a half to spare. Accidents completely marred the steeplechase, which was one of the features of the card. Out of six start- ers, only twg finished the course, the winner being Montanic, a 6 to 1 shot, These were the only two which averted any mishap. The weather conditions were none too pleasant at Harlem to-day, a stiff, cold wind blew down the home stretch and made things generdlly unpleasant. The track was much better than was ex- pected and, although still lumpy and rough, was comparatively dry. Starter Dwyer, who was operated upon late Saturday for dppendicitls, is reported as making favorable progress toward recovery. Not a favorite won during the after- noon.

GRAVESEND, June 6.—Joe Yaeger's luck is a by-word of the race course. | At Gravesend, Yaeger has been mak- | ing heavy plays that earned him the title of “plunger.” The gossips of the track say that Yaeger did mot win a cent less than $60,000 to-day. This was won on two races. Yaeger backed his own filly, Mimosa, in the first race, from 6 to 1 down to 2 to 1 and she won. He placed most of} | his winnings back af a good price on W. B. Jennings' four-year-old filly | Dainty, which was ridden by the clever . young jockey, Hildebrand. This rider | is under contract to Yaeger. There was only one stake decided at Gravesend to-day. This was the Bed- ford, for two-year-olds, at five fur- | longs. Mr., Paget entered Czaraphine, a filly above the selling class. She was |a warm favorite, but barely managed to get home in front of Willlam Lake- land’s filly Gold Ten, which was the second choice.

FIGHTERS WANT LARGER PURSE Bid of Hayes Valley ClubI Causes a Postponement of Hanlon-McGovern Contest BOTH MEN SURPRISED Offers of Eastern Clubs Held Pending Other Proposi- tions From San Francisco —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 6.—Eddie Hanlon and Terry McGovern will not fight on July 15 as arranged. By mutual agree- ment the pair will met on September 15 instead. When they signed articles a few weeks ago they agreed to leave | the combat open to the highest bidder. ‘When the bids were opened to-day it | was found that the proposal of the National Athletic Club of Philadelphia was the largest. This club has offered | 80 per cent of.the gross receipts for a six-round contest. Next came the of- | fer of a purse of $5000 from the Waver- | ly Athletic Club of Chicago, and an | offer of a $6000 purse from the Lenox | Athletic Club of Philadelphia, for a | | six-round fight. A bid was also re- ceived from the Eureka Athletic Club of Baltimore, which is controlled by Al Herford, the manager of Joe Gans. This organization offered to allow the boxers 65 per cent of the gross receipts. The lowest proposal came from the ilayes Valley Athletic, Club of San Francisco, which offered 50 per cent. The representatives of both men were much surprised when they learn- ed of the California club’s bid, as they expected that this organization would give more money for the battle than the others. It was as a result of this offer that the managers agreed to put the fight off until September 15 so as to give other clubs in San Francisco a chance to get the fight. San Fran- cisco is Hanlon's home,and for this reason alone it is thought, if the fight is held there, it would attract a big crowd. —_——— JUVENILE PRISONERS TRY TO BREAK JAIL Youngsters Devote Four Hours toi Sawing a Bar—One Sent to | Reform School. | Two boys, Daniel Bigelow and Jacob | Lafkowitz, aged 15 and 11 years re- | spectively, made an effort on Sunday night to-saw their way to liberty through the bars of the juvenile prison | at the City Hall. With a tool such as railroaders use in cutting rails the youngsters started to work at 6 o’clock in the evening and after four hours of industrious effort they had cut about| one-quarter of an inch into one of the | bars in the window facing Larkin | ,street. Then the saw broke and they | | gave up in disgust. With the two boys in prison was another named Henry ‘Wagner, whom they threatened with yiolence if he should betray their de- sign to gain freedom. The affair was explained to Judge Murasky, who committed the Bigelow boy to the Preston School of Industry at Ione, while the mother of Lafko- witz took her son out on bail. Bigelow, who lives with his parents at 456 Sixth street, was charged with petty larceny and Lafkowitz was in custody for violating the 8 o'clock ordinance. How the boys got posses- sion of the saw is a mystery. —_—e—————— MIDSUMMER JINKS OF BOHEMIAN CLUB Santos-Dumont Will Attend as the Guest of the Only Joseph D. Redding. James D. Phelan, president of the Bohemian Club, wires from Paris to the club that Joseph D. Redding will manage the Sunday morning concert of the midsummer jinks. Mr. Red- ding will bring to the redwood grove new music and will bring as his guest Santas-Dumont. The club is making the usual prepa- ration for the summer expedition to the woods. It is announced that the camp will open Tuesday, August 9. The high jinks is scheduled to take place Saturday night, August 20. The first high jinks of the club among the great redwoods that fringe the Russian River took place in the summer of 1879, twenty-five years ago. Among the speakers on that occasion were John F. Swift, Frank M. Pixley, Paul Neumann and Daniel O’Connell. Sketches of the camp were made by Toby Rosenthal and Jules Tavernier. e —— Breaks Gardener’s Jaw. ‘William Kramer, a gardener at Har- bor View Park, secured a warrant from Police Judge Mogan yesterday for the arrest of Jeremiah Revere on a charge of battery.

He had been under medical care since. | afterward. Light boar | under the ring padding and with frail DATE OF/BATTLE FORM FAVORS THE CHAVPIO Retrospective View of Af- fairs Places Jeffries in Light of FEasy Winner HARD TASK FOR MUNROE Boilermaker Is Already Fit for the Battle and Is Doing Omnly Light Work By F. E. Mulholland. HARBIN SPRINGS, June &5—All | hostllities were suspended and Sunday was a day of peace and quiet in the Jeftries camp. The champion took a run on the road after breakfast and this marked the extent of his exer- tions in the training line. The big fel- low can afford to take matters quietly, for his condition is, or will be, perfec- tion itself on the evening of the big battle. When Jack Munroe was introduced to the crowd at Woodward's Pavilion on the night_ef the Canole-Nelson Scrap, he said, during the course of his short speech, that he had journeyed west to fight Jeffries and would not run away, If the miner keeps his promise and will test his strength and punches against the boilermaker’s fortifications and battery, carriages may be ordered for a very short struggle. When Gus Ruhlin, the big dub from Akron, Ohio, faced Jeff at Mechanies’ Pavilion he stopped one just north of the equator in the fourth round, and Madden, to save his man from: further punishment, so he said, threw up the sponge. With- out belittling the power of Jeff’s hit- ting proclivities and tipping the “bea- ver” out of respect for the humaneness of Madden, this “listens good” and such acts may tend to ele- vate the fistic art. But if Madden will turn to page 32, third line from the bot- | tom, he will read from the philosophy of “One-Eyed” Connelly: “There is a sucker born every minute, but lack of rain in some countries during the juicy months has a tendency to keep them stunted.” Admitting that Madden's Intentions were for the good of the game and that he never gazed on the pari-mu- tuel board where betting on the rounds attracted specufators and conceding that Ruhlin did not purchase all of the mait goods down at Blanken's Si Mile House a few days prior to the contest, Gus made a showing in front of Jeffries that seems now like a sum- mer's dream. No wonder one Billy Milton hung his hat on the kinetoscope machine and ruined the pictures. As Jeft stalked to his cormer on the evening of his encounter with the speckled beauty, Bob Fitzsimmons, he sat down sulking and surly, and his friends were at a loss for the reason. The flooring of the ring had been im- properly constructed, so it transpired ds Lad been used supports beneath the footing was springy when the weight of the huge champion was placed upon it. Fighting under such fearful disadvantage, Fitz- simmons while he pummeled the cham- pion some with stinging lefts, was ut- terlgsoutclassed, and a couple of hard raps and eight rounds sufficed. The irrepressible James J. Corbett, after imbibing of the fountain of youth somewhere down in the everglades of Florida or the meshes of Mott street, New York, imagined he was good again and entitled to another chance. Cor- bett in all seriousness told his admirers he could not lose. Jeff gave Corbett the opportunity to demonstrate what Professor Tommy Dare's treatment would do and the result is well known. Enjoying his work with the keen relish of the fish pond man disposing of num- ber cards to Reuben Glue and his fol- lowing at a country fair, Jeff rag- timed along for ten rounds, when It was curtains for the conquerer of John L. Sullivan. None of these fighters mentioned got into close quarters and mixed it with the iron framed boilermaker. And now, with the vast strides toward improve- ment shown by Jeffries during the past year, Jack Munroe does take the bit between his teeth and wade in, every- body will be at home and to the hay early. If Jack lasts four rounds them he is a pig for punishment. —_———————— SETTLERS SOON TO HAVE CHANCE ON KAUAI ISLAND 1 Government Surveyors at Work De« termining Extent of Lands teo Be Thrown Open.
