This is in re- gard to the forfeit money boxers are expected to post guaranteeing their appearance In the ring at the appoint- ed hour and at whatever weight is re- quired. Nelson's forfeit of $1000 guar- anteeing that he will be on hand on the 20th inst. and a like amount that | he will not welgh more than 132 vounds is in the hands of Harry Cor- bett, the stakeholder. He also has the ub's forfeit which guarantees to the boxers that the fight will take place. it beging to look as if Manager Cof- | froth will have to give Britt laughing gas, and while he is under its influ- ! ence extract the required amount from ! his strong box. No one doubts Britt's bona fides in the matter. It has un- doubtedly been inconvenient for him to attend to this branch of his business in connection with the other duties which hnve’nccupied his time. IS AGAIN IN TRAINING The other parties to the agreement feel that they have acted\their part and that Britt should compi¥y with the conditions covering the match. Britt did no training yesterda will he hard at work again to-day his Ocean Beach quarters. He has been doing light exercise at the Olymp- ic Club for several months and but lit- tle is required to put the fighting edge on_his condition. Battling Nelson has finally settled down at his old quarters at Smiling Metzner’s tavern, Larkspur, for a siege of training for his coming battle with Jimmy Britt. The Dane returned from Tomales yesterday, after spending a few days duck shooting. Hard work will not be indulged in until next week, as Nelson is in fine condition, although a trifie heavy. He weighs in the neighborhood of 138 pounds, but can knock off many pounds in a few days. Six miles on the road vesterday .and a half-hour's work in the gymnasium made up the day's work. Marvin Hart and Eddle Santry will be Nelson's training mates during the coming siege of training. The bantam boxing-championship title of America nearly went a glim- mering last night at the Mechanics' Pavilion annex when George Finnigan, holder of the trophy, hooked up with Eddie Kehoe. The latter was a sub- stitute and nobody conceded him a chance. He cleverly matched his sci- ence and generalship against the hur- ricane rushes of the champ, and the | majority of the spectators thought he #innigan, though apparently in . the | best of form, did not fight as he has in the past. He carried the baitle to his man in every round, but Kehoe al- ways met the rushes with a left jab, and whenever an opportunity present- ed itself he would bring a right over. nearly went to | jolte. In turn, he would rush Kehoe into a corner and begin to pummel him. Kehoe made a fast finish and was giving Finnigan a good time when 3 the gong sounded. Although the de FINNIGAN IS NEARLY BEATEN Eddie Kehoe Gives Bantam Champion the Hardest Battle of His Career. sion was far from popular, it was a just one, as Finnigan was outweighed by his opponent and there was never instant when he was not on the aggressive. The rest of the card was made up of -some fairly good fights. Joe Daly sprang a mild surprise on the specta- tors when he’ won the decision over Joe Kelly. The latter. did not start in' till too late, while Daly kept peg- ging away and taking ‘advantage of every chance 'to send in right and left. Ed Biller lasted but a round and a haif with the hard-hitting Harry Ri- ley. The latter whipped in a right to the kidneys early in the second period and that ended the engagement. Dave Raabe, a new man, made a game fight against Denny O’Connell and was barely nosed out of the deci- sion. Jim Bradley outpointed Bill Cairns. Young Dempsey took all the ficht out of Fred Lavigne in half a round. The show was given under the augpices of the Bay City. Club and brought out a crowded house. As' Pilot, Four Favorites Lose LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9—Only two out of six favorites won af Ascot Park to-day, and, as i consequence, the thir- teen books cleaned up a neat sum on the day'sracing. Salario was heavily played to win the first race, but was beaten out by Mrt, Dade, the second choice, with Black Joe, an outsider, third. Bath Beach was fancied for the sec- ond race, but was never in the run- ning, Durbar, at 6 to 1, winning easily from Dorice, a 30 to 1 shot, with Crigii third. Our Pride was successful in the third race, easily defeating Cloche d'Or, the favorite, with Winnifreda third. Emperor of india was played as if the race were run for the fourth. He rewarded his backers by winning with the greatest of ease from Diamante, with Harbor third. Requiter was a red-hot favorite for the fifth race, closing at 1 to 2 and winning handily from Tryon, with Heather Honey, the second choice in the betting, third.. The last race was the biggest upset of the day. Hildebrand had his only mount of the day on Tizen, which was made a 1 to 2 choice and which was never seriously in the running.

General Manager Dunaway of the Nevada, California and Oregon, who is now at the Palace Hotel, yesterday announced that a survey of an exten- sion of his road from iis present ter- minus at Madeline, Lassen County, to Alturas, Modoc County, a distance of seventy-five miles, is now being com- pleted. Work on the extension is to be inaugurated/ during theg coming year. The work of transferring the inter- ests of the Butte and Plumas Railroad iand the Indian Valley Railroad, proj- ects of H. H. Yard, to the Western Pacific Railway Company, is now in progress. Both properties are owned by the North California Mining Com- pany, of which Yard is the head. The high hopes of the friends of E. 0. McCormick were blasted yesterday when a telegram was received from Chicago stating that he had denied | that there is any truth in the recent { widely circulated story that he is to be made vice president and general manager of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Cadets Give Entertainment. Company I, League of the Cross Cadets, gave an entertainment last night at Golden Gate Hall, the pro- ceeds of which will go toward the uni- loym fund of the company.

At the meeting of the Fire Commis- sioners yesterday afternoon Thomas Titus of Engine 10 suffered the pen- alty for dealing too heavily with money brokers by being dismissed 4rom the force. Titus was up before the Commissioners about a year ago and showed that his liabilities were about $800. He promised to turn over $60 of his monthly salary to his wife, $30 to the money brokers and use the balance to liquidate other debts. It was shown that he had not lived up to his promise and Commissioner Parry suggested that he be dismissed from the department, saying: “At the rate of interest these brokers charge stays in the department. Let him go to work elsewhere and look out for his family and let these brokers who heve been robbing him get their money as best they can.” Joseph Heffernan of Engine 3 was fined ten days’ pay for reporting on duty while intoxicated and Engineer Barry of No. 10 suffered the same penalty for deserting his engine- house. On the recommendation of Chief Sullivan Henry Sullivan was promot- ed from hoseman of Engine 7 to lieu- tenant of the same company. Appointments were made as fol- lows: Allen Metlock to No. 9; A Cunningham to man, No. Daniel Cadigan and R. Charlton, for lduty with No. 2 for fifteen days.
