Many of the records made in the early part of the day were completely wiped out during | the latter part of the afternoon, when the ‘soft gray light spread over the range and gave each marksman just the chance he wanted to draw a fine bead on the bullseye and score a good shot.

NEW YORK, iDec. 10.—Kid McCoy sent a challenge to-night to James J. Corbett for a fight, the terms of which are to he arranged later, it being un- derstood that a new club in Delaware formed by Tom O'Rourke will offer 4 purse of $20,000. In his letter to Cor- bett McCoy says he has posted $5090 as a guarantee of good falth. McCoy says he is-induced to enter the ring again only because of the unsatisfac- gtory termination of his former fight ‘with Corbett, which he admits left a cloud on his record as a pugilist. He declares that under no consideration will he talk of a match with any other man than Corbett. James J. Corbett, when asked to- ight concerning the challenge, said: ‘McCoy made a great blunder in ask- ing me to fight. I am an actor ‘and my ambition is to become a great actor. T have a five-year contract and I would not think of breaking it. My fighting days are over. I hate the fighting flme. I made all the money and got &l the fame that was coming to me out of prizefighting.” —_——— Uncle’s Men Are Defeated. &AN JOSE, Dee. 10.—Uncle Henry's 1s were unaple to take the measure of Emil Mayer's Prune Pickers at Cycler's Park thds afternoon and the fast local nine triumphed by the scol of 5 to 4. Roy Hitt pitchea for g') Seals and the San Joseans found him for six hits. Hitt's wildness alsé aided the run getting In the fourth inning. Stricklett pitched a steady game for San Jose and allowed the visitors but one hit. Doc Moskiman played the initial bag for San Jose and Chase was put in at sho San Francisco had all the regular players in the fleld except at second, where Brick DavereauX was substituted, The score was as follows: rope-skipping and wrist-turnjng machines are eschewed by Fitzsimmons. He does not take quickly to new-fangled muscle devel- opers for fighters. He believes that to acquire expertness in giving and re- ceiving knocks in a real battle it is necessary to give and recefve real knocks in training. Fresh air is looked upon by Bob as the most healthful pro- moter of energy and stamina in a sc per. While he is out of bed 8 speckled slugger spends nearly all of the time in the open air. He has no partlcu)f athletic game that is a hobby, although walking is his favorite pastime. Fitz does o much heel and toe turning on the highways of Ala- meda that his training mates, Bates and Chester, are agquiring the restful habit of dropping out of the walking match when Bob starts to cover ground. . Fitzsimmons is one of the cleverest of the big boxers with the punching bag. The portable framework that sup- ports the swinging pigskin in his gym- nasium is the same contrivance he car- ried about the country when he exhib- ited after taking the championship of the world from James J. Corbett at Carson City with the historic solar plexus punch. The machine was de- signed by Bob and is convenient for gymnasium and stages.

NAGLE PROVES 13715 LUCKY Los Angeles Pitcher Scores That Many Victories Without Losing a Game| LOS ANGELES. Dec. 10.—Los Ans geles batted Brown . hard to-day and won by the one-sided seore of 10 to 3. Tacoma was unable to hit Nagle con- sistently. This makes thirteen straight victories for Nagle. The visitors also played poorly in the field, making four errors, all of which helped the locals in the run-getting. All jpf the local batters were able to land on Brown, Cravath carrying off the honors with two three-baggers and a single. Brown also gave four bases | bion Rovers, 3 goals to 1, on balls. Several of the locals’ runs were due to the poor throwing of Gra- ham, who was charged with two er- rors on this score. To-day's result makes three victorles for Los Angeles and one for Tacoma out of the nine games to be played for the champion- ship. The remaining five games will be played this week, commencing on Thursday and ‘ending with a double- header next Sunday. The score: LrOS ANGE.!!S. w bl w -] 3 5 Ross c. £ IR Swman - Blagmmesimmmm B.

The score, however, does not fairly in- dicate the real merits of the play. for the Alblon Rovers had a good deal the best of the game in both periods. They were unlucky in not being able to scere more than onee. McRitchie in goal did excel- lent service for the Hornets, keeping the ball out of the net on many occasions. For the losers, Tierney, Petrie and Lydon played strongly, while for the winners Duquesne ard Chambers in the forward line, Von Helms and Mackenzie in the back line, rendered exceilent service. The Hornets were weakened by the absence of thir captain and fullback, H. R. Elliat, and of Hamy Bird. McLachlan was mueh hampered by a sore foot and Christensen recelved an awkward knock in the small of the back early In the game, which prevented him from doing as good work as usual. The Horpets obtained one goal in the first period and another early In the see- ond half. Then the Rovers scored |a sgoal and shortly afterward the Hornets put the ball into the net for the third time. It was thought by many of the spectators that one goal, which was. not allowed to the Rovers on the ground that the player who kicked it was off side, should have been awarded to them. The teams lined up in the fol- lowing order: Albion: Revers. Positions. Oakland Hornets. Shand.

Finnlgan of the Franciscos Lays Out Severel Independent Players. OAKLAND, Dec. 10.-If association football is to take the place of the in- tercollegiate games it must be played differently from the game at Freeman's Park this afternoon, when the Inde- pendents and the San Franciscod played a tle, with a score of 2 to 2. One feature of the game was fouling, and several times surgeons were called to the fleld to recuscitate the players. Finnigan of the San Franciscos was the principal player at fault. He is-a good, strong player, but at times he is ungainly and his knee met the groins of his opponents oftener than his toe met the sphere. Had it not been for Finnigan's fouls the game would have been a good one—perhaps the best that has been played at Freeman's Park. In the first half Peter Fay kicked a goal for the Independents. Rutledge scored for the San Franciscos when he topk a cross-fleld ball from Grant. In the second half Peter Fay again kicked a goal and it looked like San Francisco until Grant, the central forward of the Independents, drove the ball inte the net. There wak no more scoring, but in the second half Rutledge on an off-side play placed the ball in the net. The game was one of team work. There was npone of the brilliant individual plays of Petrie or Ainsworth, and the game was therefore not so exciting as those where one man “dribbles” the ball and takes the consequences. The line-up: Independents—Goal, Antrobus: backs, Sutter, Milne; halfs, Hyatt, Belman, Michaels; forwards, Dwyer, E. Fay, P. Fay, Tom Fay and Jones. San Franciscos—Goal, McAfee; backs, Callahan and Betts; halfs, Inganni, Fin- nigan and Mizen; forwards, Robertson, Rutiedge, Grant, Kirven and Burns. ————————— John D.
