In the sixth Seattie brnched three hits, which gave three runs. The third came in on a daring sical by Murphy. Vi Buren was arguing at first about a decision and Murphy made a dash for the plate, scoring. The score: 4 [ rider’s mounts would have yielded. His mounts in the first and second races were beaten, but he won the next four. The “parlay” would have produced $16,000. The boy has not had six months’ experience as a jockey. It was the fourth race that brought to the post whatever of class was en- gaged during the afternoon. Hurst- bourne was made favorite at 4 to 5. Little Em made the running for about seven furlongs, when Ostrich rhced i past her on the outside and seemed to have the race well in hand. Dekaber, however, slowly overhauied him in the stretch and got up just in time to win. Hurstbourne was in a pocket for the first five furlongs. In the last quarter he came on the outside, and in the run through the stretch lost ground. His race attracted much critical attention. In the second race Jocund, at 1 to 3, won easily. Wotan should have been second, but his rider, Lyne, after dis- pesing of Judge Denton eased up a long way from home. He was then caught napping by Odom’s rush with Brook- lynite. Thousands of dollars bet on Wotan for second place were thus lost. Fleur de Marie came through in the last few strides and won the opening race like a game filly. Escutcheon made most of the running, but died away in the stretch. Workman finished second and Confessor third. Goldcroft, the fa- vorite, was unplaced. Summary: Horse, Weight, Jockey.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 16.—T. P. Luken of Pasadena, aided by the Federal Government, has undertaken the task of replanting with trees the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains where they have been nuded by forest fires and the sawmill men. A few years ago Lukens, who is a wealthy man, actuated solely by love of this section, planted a large area of the mountains in seed of the Pinus tuberculata, but the ensuing year was g0 dry that although a large propor- tion of the seed sprouted, the witner- ing heat of the summer killed it. Since then Lukens has established a nursery on Mount Wilson and there he has many thousand pine trees from one to two years old. These are to be transplanted to the mountains of this section and it is expected that if there is a medium rainfall this winter they will do well. — e DETERMINED TO PREVENT SMUGGLING OF CHINESE Revenue Cutter Manning Ordered to San Diego to Assist the Immi- gration Officials. SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16.—The revenue cutter Manning arrived this morning, urder orders to remain here for an in- definite period and assist the immigra- tion officers in the suppression of smuggling contraband Chinese across the border. Immigration officials have reason to suspect that as well as attempting 1o force the border by the land .route Chinese are being sent north by sea m small boats to be landed at varilous pcints along the coast. The Manning is to keep a lookout for this sort of smuggling. How difficuit a proposition it is to guard against the illegal entry of Chi- nese may be judged from the fact that the recently captured band of eleven got across at a point forty miles from an_inspector’s station. I rs Agard and Hutchins ar- rived this afternoon with the band of ten captured on Wednesday. ————— Starts Fight for Big Estate. SAN JOSE, Sept. 16.—A contest of the will of William H.

Gans opened the controversy by announcing that he yearmed to meet a first-class lightweight. Britt took the defi, and again Gans came back and told those present that everything was satisfac- tory to him. during The little sideplay happened an intermission ofth. San Francisco Club’s show. Joe Walcott was reaily the man who stands responsible for the display of eloquence on the part of the rival lightweights. Josgph entered the ring and in his usual pleasant man- ner announced he was ready to do his best when he hooked up with Gans. Some time elapsed before Gans en- tered the ring. When he did appear the crowd greeted him kindly, and it was some time before he could make himself heard. Finally he stepped into the center of the ring and said: “Gen- tlemen, I came out here to fight light- weights, but when I discovered I had been matched wigh Mr. Walcott I ac- cepted, and I promise you I will go in to win.” BRITT AS AN ORATOR. As Gans was leaving the ring there were shouts of “Britt! Britt!” Prompt- ly at the call of his name the con- Queror of Young Corbett climbed blithely info the ring. The crowd let loose its reserve force of cheers as soon as dn:e -l.“l;amglon, togged to the minute and looking dapper and » posed th; center af u?epeflu oy o immy had a hard time beginnin, his speech, so great was the c ‘ Figaily he got settled down, and with the grace of an orator and the gestures of a tragedian said: “Gentlemen, Mr. Gans refused to fight me when I chal- lenged him at 133 pounds before. Al- though I am averse to fighting colored gentlemen, I will agree to meet Mr. Gans at 133 pounds ringside.” As the cheers died away Gans again made his appeardnce at the ringside. The house was In an uproar and it seemed the colored wonder would not be able to make if heard. t finally prevailed, cries of “Now, Wwhat will you do” and “Speech” rent the air. Gans was as cool and collected as usual, and In a calm, ringing voic® said: “Gentlemen, I accept Mr. Britt's challenge and I will post a forfeit at any timé. 1 will guarantee to make :flnpolzadl"l;:rfiie‘ !l am anxious to e e ‘weight su remacy an lelt the public see who is th’; real chan: pion ™ FORFEITS TO BE POSTED. Britt stated later that he would meet Gans after his go with Corbett. Of course, the date is a long way off, but as both men have signified their will- ingness it is likely they may face each other some time within the next year. Gans sald he would post a forfeit and stood ready to meet Britt at any time the latter stipulates. The fights were all of the kind that make the fanatics yell. Big George Sullivan gave Joe Long an awful maul- ing in the main go of the night and won without effort. He. had Long groggy and all but gone in the last two rounds, but could not bring over the decisive wallop. Long kept rushing most of the time, but Sullivan always met his rushes squarely, using a sort of overhand chop to good advantage. Dick Hyland let Frank Walsh, cham- plon feather-weight of the north, stay two rounds. Then the local lad went in and got his man. He sent in some hard punches to the stomach, and ‘Walsh soon sank to the floor a beaten man. Tom Sullivan. won from Young Choynski in a mix-up that was gory and furious from the call of time. Sul- livan was the cleverer and jabbed his man hard. He began to mix it in the final round. and Choynski landed a few right-hand swings that nearly brought home the money. & Joe Podesta earned the degision over George Ellis; Harry Riley finished Billy McGrew in three rounds Young Dempsey got Jim Linegar in the same round, and Tommy West took all the fight out of Eddie Kehoe in the open- ing period. e LOS ANGELES VOTERS SUSTAIN CITY'S CHARTER Defeat Councilman Who Sought Re- election After Having Been “Re- called” on Citizens’ Petition. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—A spe- clal election of unusual interest was held in the Third Ward to-day for the purpose of choosing a Councilman to succeed J. P. Davenport, recently re- moved by the “recall” feature of the city charter. The candidates were Dr. A. D. Houghton, supported by the Good Government League, and J. P. Davenport. who sought to succeed himself. Houghton won a decided vie~ tory. The recall provision of the charter is an innovation in municipal govern- ment and the result of to-day’s elec- tion was watched vnl':.:nu mumust. The provision gives constituents of any Councilman who has acted contrary to their interests power to “recall” him upon the presentation of a petition to the City Clerk having the signatures of 60 per cent of the bona fide voters of the ward. The Council must then order a special election. — T i Ei‘ : | i : 2 ] | | H i i : ; | i i i !l i f H § | !
