Reinhardt, who, though he lived in humble quar- at 294 Natoma street, left an estate of great value. When Rein- hardt died and his will was read, Mrs. Ward, who had hoped for a gift in his testament sufficiently large to in- sure her comfort during her remaining years, found that she had been left but $4000. ters Disappointed, if not angry, she re-| pudiated the devise and filed suit against the estate through a relative, to whom she assigned her claim, for $20,000 as housekeeper and agent and another for $27,000 for services as plain housekeeper, with no demand for compensation for services rendered in any confidential capacity. Mrs. Char- jotte Brand and Flora Louise Morton, heirs of the deceased, though confident that Mrs, Ward was entitled to more than the sum of the bequest in her favor, were positive she was en- titled to no such sum as she sued for, and since the death of the testa- tor on April 17, 1908, they carried on with her negotiations looking to a compromise. It was only recently that they suc- ceeded in convincing Mrs. Ward that she would be defeated in court and secured a release of all claims she may have against the estate upon the payment to her of $6340. This release includes the legacy of $4000, upon which she now has no further claim. Otto Lemcke, executor of the deced- ent’s will, set forth the.facts as given above in a petition filed yesterday, asking the court to ratify the compro- mise. If the court agrees that it is equitable Mrs. Ward will get her money and the estate, which was threatened with long and expensive litigation, will be near final settiement. ——————————— LIBATU, Apeli 14.—The dock laborers hers have struck and the loading of grain has been | penitentiary. suspended.

The Seals’ victory over the Tigers at Recreation Park yesterday was not due to any alarming work with the stick, | but more to good fortune agd the laws of chance. The Seals made two runs on a pair of skimpy little hits, while | the Tigérs banged away safely eight! | times, and still their share was but a | run. Score—San Francisco 2, Tacoma 1. Brown, the grocery pitcher, thought | he was dealing out sacks of flour and | | sides of bacon to the Seals. He might | {as well, for .all the harm they did.| Brown should have won his game, and | every one in the lot thought he would | trilumph when the Tigers waded in| strongly during the first round and sent | & run through without hesitating. { Doyle opened the game for the Tigers with a wallop to left field that was good for two stations. Sheehan also | banged eafely. Nordyke slapped to Ir- win, who threw badly to first. Casey | | got a hit, which scored Doyle. The rest | of the gang died on the bases, although | it seemed a dozen runs would be made. Wilson registered for the Seals in the fifth on a base on balls, an error and a | fly. The winning run was enticed home | during the next period, when Hilde- | brand tore off a hit, advanced to second on Irwin's sacrifice, took third on a balk and came in on Nealon’s long fly go the right garden. Both teams put up an inferior article of ball, and although the score was small and the errors few, the game was one of the slowest vet played. None of the players had any life in them, and | they seemed content with standing -up and banging away at the sphere just because they had to do something to earn their salaries.

OAKLAND, April 14. — Whitewash, administered every, spasm for nine in- nings, was the dope of defeat that William Moskiman ‘and his elght trained assistants forced the Portland (lants to gulp down. this afternoon at the Tdora Park baseball ‘grounds. The big fellows who have been win- ning twelve and sixteen inning games this week did not take thelr medicine to-day without a struggle. Of the six hits made off the opposing boxmen the White Socks secured four. Two of these were double baggers, one was & triple sacker and the other a single. Bert Jones served the spirals superbly for McCreedle’s minions, but his pro- verbial hoodoo clung to him, and he lost a game in which he allowed only | two singles, passed no one and fanned two. Van Haltren’s vassals did not get one of their clan on first until the seventh period, when Kruger lobbed a floater over Jakey Atz topknot. Oom Paul essayed to steal second. when he imagined mobody was looking, but he was caught in the act. Oakland’s only and winning tally was scored in the eighth session. Locomotive King, the first man up, started one for the score- board and a hat, but Eddie House- | holder sprinted along with the screamer and plucked it from the atmosphere in spectacular style. Julie Streib smote the sphere through Schilafley and pil- fered second and. third. Curley Kelly sent the Dutchman in on a drive to Clark, which the latter fielded cleverly to McLean as Streib slid for the plate. The play was close, but Umpire Davis ruled that the Teutonic first baseman was safe. Householder swatted for a brace of bags in the seventh, and in an endeavor to make his smash good for three corners was captured at third. McCreedie, who followed Eddie, banged out a tri-sacker, but his men were powerless to advance him further. By winning to-day’s contest Oakland and Portland are tied in the series. Both nines are playing the highest class of baseball, as the small scores and the extra inning games prove. Score: Oakland— A AB.R. H.P.

It was a pitchers’ battle from start to finish, with honors about even after the first two innings, during which Toren was wild.

CRICKETING MEN DECIDE DATE OF OPENING MATCH Handsome Silver Cup to Be Procured as a Perpetual Challenge Trophy. At a meeting of the California Cricket Assoclation, held yesterday, Henry Ward, the president, was in the chair, the following delegates being present: F. J. Croll of the Alameda Club; E. H. M. Lannowe and Dr. O. N. Taylor of the Pacific Club; Henry Dixon of the San Francisco County Club and E. F. Hilton of the Santa Cruz Club. A list of matches to be played for the championship of 1905 was presented by the schedule com- mittee and was approved. - The Pacific, Alameda and San Fran- cisco Country clubs will play twelve matches each and the Santa Cruz Club six matches. The opening match of the season will take place between the Alameda and Pacific elevens on Sun- day, May 7. Henry Ward and Arthur Inkersley were appointed a committee to inquire into’ the cost of a handsome cup to be purchased -as a perpetual chal- lenge trophy of the California Cricket Association. ——————— Hall After College Players.

The first token of its work was seen in the post- ponement of the exhibition planned by the Hayes Valley Club for last night in Woodward's Pavilion. * The Chief of Police was notified by Foreman T. P. Andrews of the Grand Jury that the promoting club had not complied with the law and he was asked to stop the affair. Manager Mor- ris Levy was communicated with, and he at once ordered the fights postponed pending the action of the Supervisors on Monday. ‘William Greer Harrison was the com- plaining witness against the Hayes Valley Club. Lundy and Calrns, who were to have been the principals in the main bout, were represented by their respective managers, Archibald Taylor and George Pollard. It developed that the winner of the fight was to get $100 and the loser $50, no mention being made of a medal or other trophy, which is required by the amateur rules. FOREMAN ANDREWS' POSITION. Foreman Andrews said after the meeting: ‘‘We are convinced from the evidence we have collected that the clubs promoting these professional bouts on an amateur license are mu- tual get-rich-quick concerns and that some one profits financially by the is- suance of these licenses contrary to law. This club has not the member- ship of 250 required by law. The fights were not to be held in its gymnastum. The club doctor had not filed his certi- ficate regarding the physical fitness of the men to enter the ring. The permit granted for last night's exhibition was for amateur bouts, yet there was a purse of gold offered for the winner, which is contrary to amateur law the world over. The promoters have been waxing rich for years on these miser- able exhibitions, in which mere boys fight like tigers for a pittance., The law must be enforced, no matter who suffer: Prize-fighting never did lend itself to amateurism, and it has always been a strain on the honesty of the persons who have followed it for a living. No matter how high a standard of moral- ity a fighterohas had, it is notorious that few -of them can withstand the temptation to fake after a few con- tests. They do not see why they showld stand up and have their heads knocked | off for the amusement of men they do not know when they can arrange the little details in private and get the money without risk of injury or loss of reputation. QUARREL AMONG PROMOTERS. The present semsation is in reality another outbreak in the feud between the promoters of professional fights. When the Ralston bill was being pressed at Sacramento Manager Jim Coffroth and others called on Mr. Har- rison and showed him where the passage of the bill would not eure the evils of boxing. It permitted amateur bouts, and they pointed out that un- scrupulous managers could readily evade its provisions. Mr. Harrison saw the strength of the argument and de- cided to use his wide influence In stamping out the evil. The officials of the Pacific Athletle Assoclation, which controlled boxing until some of the clubs seceded and formed an"organization of their own, placed a mass of information at the disposal of Mr. Harrison. He in turn presented it to the Grand Jury, and vesterday’s action is the result. It will probably be passed up to the Super- visors on Monday in addition to their other fight troubles. The promoters claim they are allowed to pay the reasonable training ex- penses of boxers. This is the point on which the case hangs. No attempt is made to conceal the fact that boxers have been paid for years by every club which has promoted fights, but the compensation of the boxers has been in the guise of training expenses. —_—— INTERUNIVERSITY BOAT CONTEST IS NOT ROWED There was no interuniversity "boat race yeésterday at Sausalito. The crew of the Washington University was on hand with its racing four-oared shell, ‘while the Stanford men were present without a boat. On behalf of the cardinal men it ‘was stated that orders had been given to the Peterson Launch Company to bring the shell up from Redwood City, but that through a misunder- standing the order was not executed. The weather was fine and the water in Richardson Bay smooth, After much discussion it was agreed that the crews of Stanford and Wash- ington shall meet at Sausalito on Mon- day morning at 10 o’clock, when the race will be rowed over a,two-mile course from the ferry slip northward to Waldo Point. The question of weighing the shell of the Washington crew in the race with the University of California, which will be rowed on the Oakland estuary to-day at 9:45 a. m. and which for a time seemed likely to cause a ment in the arrangements for the rade, has finally been settled in a manner satisfactory to the coaches of both crews. The hitch was caused by the fact %at there ‘l)! :om&onwkul!:‘ in the ‘ashington boal making a great difference in the welghts carried by the two boats. In the race to-morrow the California boat will carry in the coxswain alone 110 pounds more live weight than Washington. It is to off- set this difference that forty pounds of dead weight must be added to the ‘Washington boat. ———————— Phil Dwyer Controls Aqueduct. NEW YOBK.

PR EDITED BY R. A SWYTH HIGH CHANCELLOR DEFEATS HONITON Dan Collins Drops In, Backed Off the Boards. |Double Six Downs Clausus by a Short Neck. . BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. High Chancellor met Honiton with the difference in weights twenty pounds in his favor, and defeated “Packey” Ryan's great mare for the seven-furlong handicap yesterday at Oakland. The wise pnes strung their checks on the chances of Honiton, making the mare a pronounced choice. She met with splendid racing luck throughout and it was only in the last fow strikes that Harry Larsen got up on the inside with High Chancellor, earning a head decision in 1:26%. Prin- cess Titania, the early pacemaker, fin- ished third. After five straight favorites had tak- en the count, Leila managed to draw down the last purse, going to the post at odds of 11 to 10. The splendid card drew a large attendance. Equorum Rex, the favorite, with Minder in the saddle, got no part of the money in the 2-year-old dash at half a mile. Well played at 4 to 1, Sir Edward was in front all the way, win- ning cleverly from Midmont and Bill Perry. - McBRIDE’S POOR JUDGMENT. A long suffering public was next compelled to watch McBride handle another favorite in his characteristic style. The Miller stable pilot had the mount on Hagerdon in the Futurity course sprint following, | The big gel- ding opened at 6 to 6, the odds soared to 9 to 5, and the story iIs told. Double 8ix, the second choice, received steady support and in a driving finish downed Clausus a neck. The show went to Royal Rogue. Dan Collins, which had been residing in the suburbs for quite a period, kick- ed up a rumpus in the six-furlong run with catch-as-catch-can weights up. Bvery sure-shot man at the track had Dan for the joker in the deck, and when 20 to 1 was chalked up the ring resembled the run on a Chinese faro bank. It looked as if everybody got aboard but one poor blind man, and he couldn’t see his way clear to reach the books. When business had somewhat subsided there was & bit of 4% to 1 still on draught. ENAPP LANDS-THE OUTSIDER. The good thing's cargo consisted of Knapp and 121 pounds. With the ease that an elephant displays In packing a howdah, Dan Collins dropped his bur- den nearly three lengths ahead of Red- mont and Revolt at the wire. Royal ‘White, the favorite, finished somewhere back among the’ spear-bearers. It's a box of seidlitz powders to a ferry-boat beefsteak that Frank Sulli- van’s broken' collarbone did not take nearly so long to mend as will the frac- ture sustained by the admirers of Golden Ivy, the favorite, on which he finished third in the mile and seventy yard run. Frank did the best he could, but still lacks strength with which to finish on. Esherin, ridden by Lloyd Fountain and second choice, led from the kick-off, beating Flaunt nearly a length. Golden Ivy ran third. Nothing but coin of the realm found its way into the books on Leila to take the concluding mile run. She won easily from Ralph Young. Forest King finished third. TRACK NOTES. Jakie Jones finally found his way into the Winner’s circle with Sir Ed- ward. Harry Larsen had on his riding clothes -for sure, piloting three win- ners. Perhaps at the Ascot Park bottling works uncorkings like Dan Collins were of frequent occurrence, but it was too highly charged for this end of the line. The entries of Fred Baird's stable were ordered refused in future by the judges. The conditions of a novel race are being arranged for the closing day at Oakland between two of the smallest ponies in the country. Thomas H. Williams Jr., the young son of the president of the jockey club, is the possessor of a Shetland thirty inches tall and weighing 180 pounds. J. K. Frayling, trainer for C. Stubenbord, has a Welch pony thirty-three inches in height, tipping the scales at 1281 pounds. The "distance will probably be 100 vards, with a silver cup as the trophy. Roscoe Coleman and “Cricket” Kelly have already been mentioned to do the riding, each being in the spider- welght class. The crack three-year-old Celeres is just as good as sold to Edwin Gaylord. The wealthy Denver horseman has forwarded the $5000 asked for the son of Maxio, and Trainer George Bur- ger notified the present owner of Celeres yesterday that the money is at his disposal. —_—ee———— Riflemen at Important Meet. The riflemen of this city, Oakland, Sacramento and San Jose have been in- dustriously practicing for the annual epring shoot of the California Schuet- zen Club, which will be held to-mor- row at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael. There are some expert marksmen from the Bast at present in the city and they intend to make it interesting for the California experts. The coast marksmen have en up the chal- lenge and aver that the first prizes will remain with the home guard. The trophies contributed for this occasion are the best and most valuable offered for rifle practice and will be hotly con- tested for. e Mowatt and Yanger Fight a Draw.

The largest crowd since the open- ing of the Forest, Fish and Game Ex- hibition attended last night. It was Sierra Club and Shamrock night. A stereopticon lecture was given in the art gallery by Professor Le Conte and ‘William Colby. Pictures of different places visited by the club duridg its jaunts and pictures of Mount Rainier were shown, which place the club will visit this year. One thing which probably attracted many was a three-round friendly box- ing bout between Jimmy Britt and Frankie Neil. At times it resembled the real artigle, both boxers sending in blows fast and hard. ‘This afternoon a Chinese baby drill between First Corps Cadets, Cavalry Reserve Corps, Starr Cadets, Columbia Park Beys’ Club, Raider Roosevelt to 25 cents on the last day. 5 pa Lt ST A The Cure Beats Vam Ness.
