With Heavy Impost Up He| Defeats a Field of Sprint- | ersat Worth. et e e Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Horsemen are a unit in their declaration that Big Ben | is a speed marvel. With 123 pounds on his back in the third and feature event/ at Worth to-day he took all the fast| sprinters into camp. As in former events he won as he pleased, with a| good length to spare over Floral King and Nannie Hodge. Don Domo, the! “'gray streak,” was beaten off. i Mont Tennes, who recently purchased the big son of Ben Strome-Mint Julep and won him out in his last start, would not believe that Big Ben could | give away so much weight and derear.f these sprinters, so he allowed him to| run for the purse and did not back him. | On that account the odds on Big Ben | went up from even money to 3 to 2, | many who profited well on his victory. Floral King rushed to the front at| the start, taking a lead of two lengths, with Nannie Hodge second and Big Ben third, close up. Turning into the stretch Big Ben rushed into the lead | and Nannie Hodge also closed strongly. Prior then called upon Big Ben and he drew away and won easily by a length. | Floral King easily beat Nannie Hodge a length and a half for the place. The track was fast and the weather cloudy and threatening.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11.—Miss Charlotte Dod, the English premier golfing expert, met with defeat to-day at the hands of Miss Pauline Mackay, Lailing from the Oakley Country Club of Boston, on the first day's play in the woman's national golf champion- ship, by 2 up and 1 to play. By the defeat Miss Dod is out of the cham- pionship. . Miss Mackay's victory was due to her ability to take advantage of Miss Dod’s mistakes, : but that is about all. Some of the box- IS NOT YET CP} Lightweights Say They Will | Prowess of Aector-Pugilist Deposit Coin With Harryg Corbett This Afternoon NO PERMIT IS GRANTED Gans Starts Training To- Day, While Britt Will Be- gin Stunts Next Monday g L Developments are slow in the Britt- Gans contest, which is less than three weeks off. That the men have signed articles to do battle for the lightweight champlonship of the world is known, | ing enthusiasts seem interested: oth- ers simply nod, while there are others who have not realized that the men have signified their intention of taking punches at each other. It was expected that the forfeits of the two men would be safely depos- ited in the hands of Harry Corbett, the official stakeholder, yesterday, but such was not the case. Neither man showed the color of his money. A. Her- ford promised last night to deposit Lis money this afternoon and Jimmy Britt made a like assertion. When the money is up, it may pave the way for a little more enthusiasm. According to present indications the dark-hued lad from Baltimore will be a big favorite with that element which likes to risk its good money on the outcome of pugilistic struggles. Some suggest that Gans will sell at 2 to 1; others think 10 to 6 looks good. while there are some who are of the opinion that 10 to 7 or 8 will be the prevailing odds. Many shrewd bettors look for the fight to end in a draw. The question of a permit still hangs in midair and causes all kinds of talk along the Rialto. Manager Coffroth is sanguine of landing the permit. He as- sures the anxious ones that the fight will be decided in the Mechanics’' Pa- vilion on the night stipulated in the articles, and of course the principals can ask no more. Then there are oth- ers who are bold enough to say that Mr. Coffroth will never have a peep in at that permit. The only gentlemen to settle this little matter are the Super- visors, and when they take action the aspect of the situation may change. Gans will repair to Billy Shannon's villa, near San Rafael, to-day, there to make ready for the coming struggle. As usual, he will have Kid Sullivan as sparring partner, assisted by other les- ser lights of the ring. Al Herford will personally look after the training of the champion. Herford says Gans will make the weight without any trouble and be strong enough to go fifty rounds. Britt thinks the soft sea breezes will be just about right this time and there- fore he has selected the Seal Rock House as his training-place. On Mon- day James expects to be ready to work out. The breach between himself and Spider Kelly having been healed. the latter will be much in evidence as the general manager of the Californian’s training. Frank Rafael and a few oth- ers who are handy will don the mitts with Jimmy when he feels Inclined to go a few rounds. —_— & LIBERAL PRICE FOR MEDDLER Nearly a Half Million Dol- lars Realized at the Sale of the Whitney Stud SRS S NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The sale of the great Whitney stud was concluded in Madison-square Garden to-night in the presence of 6000 spectators. Fifty head of horses brought $238,000, or a grand total of $463,550 for the sale of ninetv-one head. The average price was $5095. Meddler, the champion stallion, was knocked down to Matthew Corbett for $51,000. Mr. Corbett, in spite of ru- mors that he had purchased the fa- mous sire for Clarence H. Mackay, de- clared he had purchased him solely in his own interests. After the sale he asked Harry Payne Whitney to allow Medadler to go back to Brookdale farm for a few days until he could make other arrangements. James R. Keene, who went as high as $49,500 for Meddler, said that Cor- bett did not buy the stallion for him, although mary believed prior to this statement that Mr. Corbett, who has been running a number of the Keene horses in his name this season, was acting for the millionaire. Corbett is a millionaire turfman himself, and said several days ago that he would like to secure Meddler if only for speculation. Harry Payne Whitney also declared that Mr. Corbett did not act for him. Tralner John W. Rogers evidently felt disappointed over the fact that Meddler was not retained by Mr. Whitney. Meddler was originally owned by George Abingdon Balird, the English millionaire. and when the Baird horses were sold after their owner's death Meddler was bid in for $73,500 by J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston. At the latter’s death he was bid in . by Sydney Paget, acting for Mr. Whit- ney, for $49,000. Of the remaining stallions in the Whitney stud Ballyhoo Bey went to Harry Payne Whitney for $25,000, and Yankee was bought by W. H. Jen-~ nings for $21,500.

M JEFFRIES Is Toasted in the Ward- room of Dismantled Lena IS MADE A GENERAL He and Captain Berlinsky Are Hailed as Greatest Warriors in the World ‘When Champion James Jeffries visit- ed the Russian cruiser Lena at Mare Island last Thursday the vessel was not only his (that is, what is left of it on board), but Captain Berlinsky, all the officers and every jack-tarsky that could get near emvugh to gaze his adoring soul out at the mighty fistic warrior, belonged to the terrible guest. When the vodka, the brandy and other strong liquids which the cor- dial Russian host delights to pour out in smoking libations to the honor of the illustrious stranger within his gates, began to flow holy Russia, the Czar, the Czarina and the brand new royal baby were Jim’'s also. They had all seen Jim at his show in the Vallejo Theater and though they had never heard of Davy Crockett or kis immortal motto and could not pos- sibly measure the quality of the per- fcrmance, they knew the one they cared only to know. The fierce set-tos in the corners of the play wei the only fighting they had witnessed since the merciless Japanese fleets dropped hull down below the horizon in the blood stained Eastern seas, and their poor; crippled ship was hitting the tips of the waves for San Francisco. So when Jeffries visited the Lena he received an ovation from the Russians that by right should be accorded only to their imperial master. In fact. if they ever get back to Russia they may all find the Siberian salt mines on charges of disloyalty and treason to the Emperor. They stood him up be- fore the picture of the Czar in the wardroom and noted with pride how much bigger a man Jim 1s than Nich- olas. Sailorlike they lashed the Jeff- ries and Romanoff races together, as it were, and toasted the two royal fam- ilies in vodka till only the absence of Peter the Great’s old imperial head- gear Kkept them from crowning James then and there. They made the guest drink with them to himself till he ab- sorbed the idea that he was the Em- peror, One officer stood Jim and Captain Berlinsky alongside of one another and in his official French-English said: “‘Behold! Here ees zee grat men of zee —what you call—ah, zee vorl! Grat? Grater, I speak, zan efryting. Behold zee General Jeffries and Capta’'n Ber- linsky. Zee General he fight zee gran’ battal wiz hees hans—biff, boom, an’ he keel 'em all. Zee Capta’n Berlinsky, he also grat. He fight wiz hees guns an’ he keel 'em all, too. Behold!"” ‘Then the captain hugged the gener- al and all the bearded naval warriors of the Czar fell on the guest and kissed him in their fervent Russian way till the general’s smooth cheeks, tender from the stage grease paint he daubs on every night to make himself look like Davy Crockett, were blood-red from the whisker scratches. Somebody rescued Jim from his too ardent friends and helped him down the gang- way, and a steam launch got him over to *Georgia street wharf in safety. PR ——— MODEL YACHTSMEN MUST DECIDE A OUP PROTEST Important Meeting of the Owners of Small Craft Will Be Held This Evening. The members of the San Francisco Model Yacht Club will hold an impor- tant meeting to-night. The protest of Secretary Genung, which is two-fold, will be heard at the meeting. It is in regard to the races for the Todd cup held a week ago Sunday. The first part of the protest pertains to the time limit. According to the official timer the length of the course is 650 feet, but Genung figures it is nearer 700 feet. Under_ the rules of the club the time limit for 1000 feet is 10 minutes. This would make the time limit for a 650- foot course 6:30. In the races held on October 2, Genung's Witch negotiated the course in 6:35 and thus failed to qualify. Genung claims the course measures at least 670 feet, in which case the Witch would have been within the time limit. The other ground of the protest is that the preliminary races were not held according to the rules governing cup races. Three boats have qualified for the finals, which are scheduled to be sailed on Sunday. They are the Santee, owned by Todd and Adams; Piute, owned by O. M. Forrest, and Apache, owned by Willlam Roeckner. Theodore Martenstein’s new scow will be tried out on the first Sunday that the wind is good. When she was launched about a month ago there was ne wind and no line could be got on her speed. B. Jurgens is building a new scow. He has been successful in the past with his models and the new boat should prove fast. —_———— ALLEN WILL CAPTAIN * THE BERKELEY FRESHMEN BERKELEY, Oct. 11.—Jared E. Allen is to be captain of the freshman football team, according to semi- official announcements made this af- ternoon. He was practically selected for the position by the authorities a week ago, although the choice may not be formally ratified before Friday, twenty-four hours before the inter- collegiate game. Allen came from the Riverside High School, where he gained valu- able experience as a player. He has done some good work at center for the freshman team. The team had secret practice in | the gymnasium last night. Its lurdl work on the field is over. The ' re- mainder of the time between now and Saturday will be spent in perfecting plays and learning the signals. —_————— ! Hayes Valley Club Bouts. !

No runs were earned and, properly, they should have been playing yet. But the errors broke in when they counted most. By this means the Commuters managed to stow away a pair of runs while the best the Seals got was an ace. The field was wet and slippery after the rain and consequently the fielders could not be blamed for some of the misplays. The gnes that did the most | damage were overthrows to the out- fleld—errors that could have been pre- vented, especially uhmos:'- of lhem} were made on easy chanc Both Buchanan and Barber had| everything that goes to fool the oppos- ing batsmen. Neither had a single bad inning. In point of control. speed and nerve the work of both men was | about on a par. Only nine hits were torn off by both teams—five by the Seals and four by the Commuters. Strange to say, there was not a single lo drive in the game. H "‘I‘he Seals got a good start, yet they could not make good with a run. Van Buren was passed and Hildebrand hit to the outfleld. Then with two down Buchanan advanced both men with a wild pitch. The next batter fell an easy victim to the twisters of the star Oaklander and so it was all over in a twinkling. The Commuters were unable to get a look in at the run column till the third. Then Buchanan pasted one to the outfield and Ganley flew to Meany. Francks laid down a grounder to short. Gochnauer, in his efforts to complete a double play, threw the ball away at second, leaving both runners safe. Dunleavy had a long fly which advanced Buchanan a peg and he reg- istered after Schlafley unloaded a wicked drive over Van Buren’s head. Oakland held this lead of a run till the eighth, when Buchanan gave the Seals a chance by fumbling Gorton’s grounder. Barber laid down a bunt and Van Buren kicked through with one over third, sending Gorton to sack three. Hildebrand popped up a hard foul which Stark managed to get. He was so elated over this piece of work that he winged the sphere down to second in an attempt to nail Van. The ball went to he outfleld and Gor- ton sneaked in with the lone Seal mark. Oakland enticed the winning one over the pan in the eighth on an er- ratic mixup. With one gone Dunleavy was given a chance on Gochnauer’s bad throw to first. He went down and Schlafley hiked. Kruger produced a simple one to Barber, who threw to third and headed off Dun. Cap was | anxious for a double play and he winged across the lot to Van Buren. The lanky kid let the leather roll to the outfield and Sdchlnfley came tear- ing in from second. na‘iled him at the plate, but he fool- ishly winged the leather to second. The score: 3t o R .

The north- ern eleven is strong, and taking into consideration Stanford’s crippled con- dition, have an even chance to defeat the cardinal varsity. The line-up of the two teams will be: At last night's practice Thompson, who has been playing tackle on the varsity, severely wrenched his ankle. The injury is severe enough to keep him out of the game for a week. In lieu of a game with another pre- paratory school team the freshmen lined up against the second varsity team this afternoon. The work of the baby eleven shows considerable im- provement over previous form. By the;n: Ml the :cek they will be in good shape for the freshmen with California. e —_——— ST.

Overall was not hit*hard, but he was wild, all of Port- land’s runs being gifts. McCreedie was passed in the fourth. Na- deau struck out, Marshall was passed Holland was hit by the pitcher and McCreedie scored on Rockenfleld's base on balls. Marshall tallied when Overall failed to get Ho- gan's throw. The last two scores came after Butler and Drennan were ticketed. Hogan in flelding McCree- die’s bunt threw wild to eehan, two runs resulting. In the sixth Butler passed three, which, combined with hits by Lynch and Casey, forced in two runs, the third scoring on a fleld- er's choice.
