The members of th® Supervisors’ po- lice committee visited the gymnasium of the Yosemite Club yesterday in the annex of the Mechanics' Pavilion. All the accoutrements of a well-appointed gymnasium were inspected and sever- members of the organization were seen in °tion at the punching bag, sand bag and other devices, One of the requirements in the box- ing ordinance is that any club giving a professional boxing exhibition must have a gymnasium. The visit thereto was made in connection with the granting of the August permit which the majority of the police committee has recommended be given to the Hayes Valley Club on the ground that it was the only one having a gymna- sium. The fact that the Yosemite Club has a gymnasium may cause the com- mittee to alter its recommendation, thus allowing the club to promote the Jefiries-Munroe contest for which it has posted a forfelt of $2500. —_——— Soldier Falls From a Car. Peter Yarbo, a soldier, fell from an outbound electric car of the Eddy-street line on Sacramento street near Lyons street early yesterday morning.

Pltchel Roach was the hero of & 1-to-0 victory of the Browns: to-day over Los Angeles. His gilt-edged delivery prevented the visit- ors scoring and it ‘was his sounding whack at the ball in the ninth that scored the lone winning run. Toman at second had his mitt on ihe ball, but it was coming so fast he jug- gled and the Brown pitchbr beat the throw to first. This was in the ninth. Nadeau had singled and had stolen second. Beck hit safely, but Raymond forced him out at Second. Raymond went as far as second on Castro’s sin- gle.” Then Shea was given a pass. Dug- dale made a feint at this point of put- ting in Thielman to bat for Roach. As it turned out Roach had a chance to add to his honors, for it was then he lined the hot one to Toman, while the latter fielded the ‘ball to first before Raymond came home. Los Angeles got a man as far as sec- ond twice during the game and Na- deau’s two-bagger helped him as far as third. That was all that was doing until the ninth.

TIGERS DE CLE'S ME Tacoma Team Makes San Francisco Players Look Like Amateurs. TACOMA, July S.—Jones again proved easy for the Tigers to-day. He had nothing in his repertoire they could not hit. They ran bases until they were tired and made Uncle Henry’s men look Itke amateurs. Keefe was in fine form and but for er- rors n Francisco would not have scored. The first three innings were good baseball and then the Tigers be- gan to get on to Jones. A run in the fourth and another in the fifth were followed by McLaughlin’'s home run in the sixth, scoring himself and Lynch. This was the second home run of the season over the right field fence. In the seventh San Francisco came within one of tying the score. This put gin- ger into the Tigers, who went for Jones like a lot of Indians. Five singles, Doyle’s three-bagger with the basgs full, together with a couple of gifts and a sacrifice scored seven runs. Thirteen men faced Jones in the inn- ing. In the eighth McLaughlin's sin- gle, Keefe's two-bagger and singles by Doyle and Sheehan scored two more.

Umpire ‘onnell, = | i Pending | Negotiations Are for Race Between Beldame | and Pretty Polly. DA The sportsmen of this country and of England are discussing a race the pos- sibjlity of which has stirred up mnyrf‘: interest than any match since the mem- orable meeting of Salvator and Tenny at Sheepshead Bay. The proposal has been Beldame and Pretty Polly, the greatest three-year-old fillies, respectively, of America and of England, meet in a special match in September after they have fulfilled their season's engage- 'men(s. It is proposed that the battle- ground of this equine duel be left to| chance and that it be decided by the toes of a coin. Englishmen concede that in no year within two score and ten has there been such a marvel seen as thz brilliant | daughter of Gallinule. | Americans almost to a unit say that !in no vear within the memary of man has there been in this land the equal of the brilliant Beldame. Peerles as Bel- dame is here, Pretty Polly is considered equally so on the other side of the ocean. Pretty Polly has conquered all England. Beldame has swept America with her prowess. Each is invincible in her own country. Each is seeking con- quests new. Beldame is the property of August Belmont, but her racing qualities are | leased to Newton Bennington, in whose colors she is racing. She is a chestnut filly by Octagon-Belladonna. Possibly her greatest performance was her sec- ond to the five-year-old Hermis last Saturday. The mile was run in 1:38.] Although Beldame was interfered with ¢he was beaten but one length by the Thomas horse, to whom she was con- ceding two years in age. Pretty Polly is a daughter of Galli- nule. She is chestnut in color and stands sixteen hands one inch high. ‘With all this height she is a beauti- fully turned thoroughbred. She made | a sorry example of her rivals in the| Oaks. They did not seem able to gallop fast enough to hustle her out of a brisk | canter. St. Mindred was beaten off a|S quarter of a mile, and her jockey was asked ironmically, “Where have you been?"” Pretty Polly has won all her starts this year and has never been extended. | As Major Eustace Loder, her owner, is a thorough sportsman the match seems more than a possibility. —_—————————— Board Has Not the Power. City Attorney Long advised the Board of Supervisors yesterday that it has no | power to lease to W. L. Harper a block | of land bounded by the Pacific Ocean, | the Ocean boulevard and J and K| streets extended. Long holds that the{ land in question is under the jurisdic- tion of the Park Commissioners, who have the right to lease the land only | on condition that the buildings erected thereon be used for park purposes. Harper wants the land for some amuse- ment scheme and must now file his pe- | tition with the Park Commission. ———— e — _Will Be Appointed Engineers. The Civil Service Commission yes- | terday certified the following named to the Fire Commission for appoint- ment as engineers of the departmen: Herbert J. Temple, William M. Mul- len, John J.

B. Kenniff, Sam Heller and Several Others Are in the Party. A party of anglers headed by such enthusiasts as Achille Roos, Sam Hel- ler, J. B. Kenniff, W. Barnes, A. O. Harwood and W. R. Nelson, leave to- night for the Country Club at Verdi on the Truckee. From reports they have received they expect good sport. Fred J. Newport in a letter to James Watt, the well-known angler, says the Sacramento River near Upper Soda Springs is still high for good fly fish- ing. He tried Hedge Creek recently and secured twenty-eight trout, chief- ly small ones. He then tried Castle Creek and caught forty-three fair sized fish. The best killer was a “Reu~ ben Wood" fly. Walter D. Mansfield and John Siebe were at Boca on the Fourth and se- cured good baskets. W. Whittle and A. Jackson report the water still high at Cisco although some trout are being taken on the fly. F. G. Sanborn has enjoyed good fishing on the McCloud River, where he was entertained recently by Charles 8. Wheeler at his country place. Word comes from the wilds of Bl Dorado County that fishing is excel- lent. Charles Hilton, Charles Schultze and Frank Jones took 170 trout re- cently from the Rubicon. On another occasion they secured 140. ————— e — Jockey Johnny Reiff Reinstated.
