As a| special mark of favor ladies were per- mitted to attend and they availed of the opportunity to see the struggle on the mat in large numbers. Their gowns of bright hues gave an unusual setting for the athletic contests. They displayed the keenest interest and always joined in the applause when one of the contestants wriggled out of a particularly tight place. There was occasionally an involuntary excla- mation of “Oh! you mean thing!” when some one used rough tactics. The band of the Columbia Park Boys' Club rendered several selections during the evening. The bouts between Charles Jenkins and A. A. Pockwitz and Marion Vecki and John Simpson were the best of the series. The wrestlers were clever in getting in and out of holds and in breaking all locks. Jenkins was twice saved a fall by the ropes of the ring. They showed the effects of Professor Miehling’s coaching and of Roger Cor- neil’s training. The most sensational victory of the night was that in which G. J. Anloft secured a flying fall over Herbert Dun- | can from a cross buttock hold. Neither had gone to the mat until the fall | came after 6 minutes and 45 seconds of severe work. The results in detail: J. P. Parker defeated G. S. Kroger after being thrown in the first bout in 2:28, Parker won in 10:00 and in 8:15. H. G. Miller threw E. Baraty was thrown in :45. 4 2t some future time. in 8:20 and " R. E. Barney threw E. H.

BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 15.—Jimmy Gardner of Lowell, Mass., defeated Jack O'Keefe of Chicago here to-night in eleven rounds. When the gong sounded for the twelfth round O’Keefe's seconds threw up the sponge. After the first round Gard- ner showed his superiority by landing vicious rights and lefts frequently to O'Keefe's wind, body and face. In the seventh round O'Keefe was smear- | ed with blood, which came from an ugly cut 4n his under lip. In this round both men rushed into the mill and at the end were noticeably weak. In the eighth round O'Keefe, who was handicapped by a disabled left bhip which was thrown out in the fourth round, landed some effective body punches. In the tenth round Gardner landed on O'Keefe's wind with his left and swung to the jaw with the right. O'Keefe went down for the nine count, but came up smiling and in the latter part of the round made Gard- ner uneasy. e e L Monte Attell Defeats Regan. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15.—Monte Attell of San Francisco gained the decision over Johnny Regan of New York to-night at the end of a whirlwind battle before the West End Club.

So soliloquized | Wally Brinkwerth and the junior members of the firm of Brinkworth & Co. after Stroller had waltzed in win- ner of the fourth selection on the score e nd. -It was a high-class s -furlong sell- ing fixture, and Venator received such »dds that a Senator country portion of the be inclined to sprinter had been clamation. even from the State up- would nominated by ac- Eut it was not to be so, A dead pigeon will sometimes fali out- | side of bounds. STROLLER SHOWS SPEED. Stroller, with Sam Greenfield at the tiller, which failed so lamentably when backed on Tuesday, had on his running clothes. He outfooted Venator every inch of the journey, winning with his head in the air and ears pricked, just as if it were a workout. The winner's odds went from 6 to 12 to 1. Nigrette ran third. The condition of the track is improv- ing rapidly, and by to-morrow will be good. Favorites again found the road a | rocky one, Idogo being the only one | to earn brackets. The attendance was | large. . | Helgesen landed the opening Futur- ity course sprint for two-year-olds | with Edrodun, an 3 to 1 outsider, beat- ing F2dgecliff a head. The blonde rider | got the son of Eddie Jones away in front and his strong finish at the close enabled him to get the decision. Meada, | the favorite, nosed Herthus out- of show honors. | Revolt, also ridden by Helgesen, cap- | tured the six and a half furiong selling | number from a big fleld. The mare's | odds were played down from 6 to 5% to | | 1. She toyed with the bunch, winning all the way. Knapp brought Lady Kent from the rear, downing the 100 to | 1 shot, Maud Muller, almost two lengths for the place. Lioyd Fountain appeared unable to make Doublet, the favorite, extend himself. McCAFFERTY'S COLORS SHOW. Charle McCafferty's colors were | strongly in evidence in the mile and fif- | ty-yard selling affair, with an even dozen starters facing the barrier. His brown gelding. Idogo with Apprentice Taylot in the saddle, went out and sim- ply spreadeagled the fleld, breezing home three lengths in advance of Lang- sider. | San Lution, the second choice, fin- ished third. The winner ruled a slight favorite at post time. Likewise jn the fifth, a five and a half furlong spin for two-year-olds, were the McCafferty colors conspicuous. Dr. Leggo, the second choice, with Solomon Bonner up, passed the others in the ctretch as if they had been tied to hitching posts, beatin~ out Sea Air, the favorite, four lengths. Prince Brutus | made his first appearance at the meet- ing, showing speed and running a good third. Arisbe was not ready. Trawers finally got aboard a winner, taking the closing mile selling fixture with the 8 to 1 shot, Dusty Miller. The coit was 1quesiionably the best, for ha | stood a long drive, moving along from eighth place, beating Meistersinger half a length. Red Damsel, the favorite, af- |ter a most uneven and tempestuous voyage, finally anchored third. Track Notes, Dr. Rowell will offer the 3-year-old Hugh McGowan at public auction in the paddoeck at 1 o’clock to-morrow. “Kansas” Price purchased Padua from Molera & Josephs yesterday, and he carried the former's colors in the fourth event. Helgesen piloted the first two win- ners. The blonde rider has quite an ex- tended following and is riding in ex- cellent form. Charley McCafferty's good colt, Dr. Leggoy was bred at Napa Stock Farm. “White Hat” McCarty. & There was a wild plunge on Bob Mec- Lean to win the second event. Bob showed nothing in the race to warrant the scarc. When Paddy Lynch stumbled and fell about three-sixteenths of a mile from the stand, Anderson, who rode Sweet Kitty Bellairs, had ample time to miss the fallen horse. He must have been riding with his eyes closed though, for he rode right over- Paddy Lynch and Jockey Sherwood. When the filly went down Anderson received a severe shaking up and was taken to Fabinola Hospital for treatment. The rich Crocker selling stakes with $2000 added by the association will be the special attraction offered race Oers to-morrow. ‘While a very ragged assortment to handle, Dick Dwyer released the bar- rier to a very pretty start in the last event. Red Damsel is a notoriously bad actor and should be schooled with a fence rail, crowbar and double bar- reled shotgun. ot L IS ORDINARY CARD AT OAKLAND.

The books took back a large part of the sum won by the public during the past few days. Sais, the only successful fa- vorite, tcok the fourth race from a good | field. El Chihuahua was second to the favorite and Kenilworth third. Luckett, Judge Denton and the Emperor of In- dia were also heavil played in this race, but failed to get inside the money. Agnes Mack surprised everybody by winning the secornd race at 20 to 1 from the red-hot favorite, The Major, with Wager third. Freesias was played in the third as if it were all over, but could not get up in time to beat Blue- ridge. Phyz was third. Jingler was the well played favorite for the fifth and with Hildebrand up looked the best. Invictus, however, proved far the best, getting off last and winning handily from Namtor and Cloverton. Th; winner was heavily played at 4 to 1. Hildebrand rode two winners to- day and broke the American record for the number of winning mounts in any one year.

Fresno and San Jose agreed to divide the games between them and put up a guarantee with the treasurer worked to the satisfaction of every one, and the general opinion was that James is stronger and faster at the present time than he ever was in his life be-| fore. | He increased his boxing bout with | Frank Rafael to six rounds, and the mill took a fast turn toward the close. The start was slow and cautfous, but when Britt's fighting blood began to | course more. freely through his veins he kept coming.

Sanborn, Vail & Co., 741 Market street . —_—————— Court Decides in Sloan’s Favor, PARIS, Deg. 15.—The Court of Ap- peals has confirmed the judgment of the lower court faverable te “Tod" Sloan, the American jockey, and against the Jockey Club. Sloan sued the Jockey Club for $40.000 damages for being warned off the turt in connection with Rose de Mai's win- ning the Prix de Diane at the Chantilly races in May, 1902. 4 B of rounds with Eddie Santry followed. Bat will now cut out all boxing until Kelly called time in the last two rounds. The bout with Kreling was equally | fast and spirited. The pair tugged with each other for five minutes without a let-up. It was here the native son showed a lot of strength and speed. After going through all these Heavy stunts his wind was perfect and he conversed with his friends as easily as though he had been entertaining the | gang at a pink tea instead of pummel- ing everything in sight for an hour. Brother Willis limped around with a cane and spoke hopefully to those pres- ent. Willis tried to take charge of the mob at the foot of the stairs, and being a cripple at present fared badly. He was nearly “rough housed” before the crowd was through with him. The ‘Spider,” as usual, acted as master of ceremonies and general overseer. / The plumber boy will begin to think | of getting the two extra pounds off in a couple of days now, though he pro- fesses to be in no hurry about this for- mality. If he works as fast as he did yesterday there is no danger that the weight will stay with him long. It was unusually warm at the beach yester- | day, and in the gymnasium the atmos- | phere was oppressive on account of the big crowd present. The advance sale of seats for the fight will open this morning at Harry Corbett’s. The promoters are figuring on a $30,000. house, and expect the first few days of the sale will yield a small- | sized fortune. | Mayor Lynch, the venerable ruler of Larkspur and better known as “the poet of Raltimore Canyon,” has spoken. | For many years the old sage has pick- ed the winners of the prize ring con- tests, and Battling Nelson and his raining mates have anxiously wait-| d for the old gentleman to express an cpinion. Yesterday afternoon before the gym work commenced Battling re- ceived a poem from the Mayor, in which he picks Bat to win the battle in about fourteen rounds. After reading the Mayor's poem Bat | the night of the fight, with the excep- donned his gym suit and went to work | tion of next Sunday, when the Hagle with a will. An hour’s hard work fol- lowed, and when “Rawhide” Kelly donned the gloves there was something doing. The pair went at it hammer and tongs: but the pace was too much for Rawhide, who quit. A couple Drum Corps of San Francisco will pay him a visit and serenade him. This morning Bat eut out the road work and went dudk shooting. About 11 o’clock he returned to camp with six- teen ducks strung across his shoulder. ADVERTISEMENTS.
