Snperior Knonjedae of RlnK Tactics Told Asainst the loathful Ship Carpenter George Green won a lctory from Frank McConnell last night in the tenth round of a battle that appeared seeral times to be first one man and then the others The victory came with a stiff right hand punch on the Jaw In a clinch after Green had sent In a hard body right but It was really won by Greens shiftiness and ring generalship throughout He kept feinting while not punching and had McConncll guessing all the time Green was in better shape than he has been for more than a year He was strong hit viciously and took terrible punishment McConnell landed many body blow that Green took only to send something in return The fight show ed that Green was his old self again and that McConnell was also a good man who had been shoved forward too fast It was his inability to compete with Green In cleverness and ring tactics that lost him the fight Woodwards Paillon was well filled and the affair was well managed but the two preliminaries had bad features that the management could not prevent They will only serve to make matchmakers more careful In selecting their talent The main event was such a hard fought battle that it put to rest ail the rumors of a bad nature that wer spread about the city yesterday It proved that there was more suspicion of crookedness In pugilistic events than really exist Frank McConnell was the first to appear in the ring accompanied by Tim McGrath Joe Reay and Frank Schuler George Green was only a few seconds later xie naa wun mm as seconds bod MacArthur Frank Foster and Frank Purcell Little time was lost in preliminary argument and after it was announced that the men had agreed to hit In the clinches till ordered to breakaway Referee Jack Kitchen gave the signal to the timekeepers Green commenced to feint Immediately McConnell rushed but was not steady on his feet Green continued to feint McConnell sent In a body right and clinched Each landed light blows on the face but most of the first round was spent in sparring The second round was a tapt one McConnell ruined landing bis right on the body and clinched Green tried to land several vicious left swings while McConnell waa trying to get in a right cross as he did on McKeever McConnell rushed Green to the ropes and landed his left on the Jaw The blow seemed to anger Green McConnell rushed again and landed his right on the side of the head In a hot mix up Green landed one of his left swings and McConnell went down in his own corner As he arose Green landed his left again and McConnell went to his knees catching hold of Green when he was down It looked bad for McConnell but he came up game and strong both men showing signs of the hot pace Just before the gong sounded McConnell landed a good right swing on Greens ear McConnell came out of the mix up with a skinned nose From this on both men stood up and fought each other as If trying to make the battle as short as possible The pace was a fast one and it told on both Green was feinting all the time they were not mixing it and this kept McConnell in the air He could not settle himself to deliver his blows with any force He led a weak left time after time to get in his right swing but Green was always watching for that blow McConnell got it In several times and in no gentle manner but he could not land It in the right spot He was more successful In landing body rights Green got in several straight lefts and gave up trying his round arm swings though he hurt McConnell repeatedly with right swing As the rounds passed it became apparent that McConnell was wrong In giving his consent to hit in the clinches Green was far more effectle In this line than McConnell The latter saed himself many times by ducking right and left swings and Green got back out of the way of his right In doing so McConnell rushed Green to the ropes several times but the latter got away without much damage generally In the seventh round Green got McConnell against the ropes and landed a dazing sort of a left on the nose McConnell could not see how the blow was coming This was a hot round Green landed three hard lefts on McConnell wind McConnell got in some good body rights after haing opened up the round with a rush in which he landed a good right on the body and a stiff left on the face He rushed again landing a right on the heart and got a left hook in the Jaw in return Green looked as if the pace was telling on him but he was still strong McConnell landed some hot blows In the eighth and made Green look fatigued In the ninth Green gained a decided advantage but it was give and take all through McConnell did well in the first part of the round but Green blocked some stiff lefts and then opened up with a sequence of lefts on body and Jaw ending the round with a good one on the chin The tenth was hot all through and It looked at one time as if McConnell had Green going McConnell had commenced to land his right more effectively on Greens Jaw He got in three in succession and Green clinched to avoid punishment The referee pulled them apart and In doing so accidentally tripped McConnell causing him to step back and lose his advantage He rushed Green again landing a left Green clinched and both fell to the floor McConnell got In a left In the Jaw and received one in return It as fast work and both ere excited They ere also getting weaker McConnell rushed and Green clinched with his left against a post Green sent in a hard body right and McConnell turned to the referee Just as he muttered foul Greens right landed on the point and McConnell fell to the floor and was declared out The preliminaries were not so interesting The fight between Dud Evans and Lon Agnew was a farce Agnew was either under the Influence of liquor or the first punch he got stirred up what he has been drinking recently He was fat and in no condition to fight but he really acted more like a man whose brain had gone wrong than a drunken person Evans punched him in the Jaw as he chose and one of his swings would have put Agnew out Captain Glllen was on the watch and seeing Agnews condition stopped the fight before the round was over Evans was given the decision The light between Kid McFadden and Fred Maynard was a fairly good bout Maynard had the best of It all through outpointing McFadden for eight rounds He showed sign of tiring and evidently laid up the ninth In which the strong Kid had the advantage for the first and only time The tenth round was even Referee Billy Murphy properly gave the decisicm to Maynard McFadden rushed at Murphy and struck him several blows until pulled off by bis seconds Though Murphy could not have given any other decision the gallery with whom McFadden has been a big favorite hooted him It Is not likely McFadden or Agnew will be seen again In the ring of any reputable club a John Dbank Notary Public Special ear In taking depositions etc Office hours from 9 A to 6 seventh

HER ACCOUNTS PROPERTY OF THE ESTATE SAID TO BE INCIMBERED BY MANY DEBTS CHtt noose Is Not a Paying Venture for the Lessee Facts Given Concerning Other Property Mrs Dr Emma Merrltt filed In the Probate Court yesterday her report and account as guardian of her Incompetent father Adolpb Sutro during the last few months before his death She sets forth the extent and nature of her services and asks that she be made a proper allowance as compensation A pitiful picture Is given of the mental condition of Sutro at the time he was placed In charge of his daughter Her report reveals many facts not heretofore known It was his condition she said that induced her to change his residence from Sutro Heights to her own home on Van Ness avenue She thought it necessary that he should be down town so that she might be nearer to him Her father at this time was unconscious of his whereabouts but imagined that he waa at Arcadia his country place In Napa county She was fearful all the while that unless kept under constant surveillance he would make an attempt upon his own life The condition of Sutros property at the time he was declared incompetent is discussed at length Economy was practiced In the management of the heights The baths were continued upon the discovery that they were popular with the public and that to close them up would entail a severe loss upon the estate The Cliff House she found in possession of Wllkens at a nominal rental of 1000 a month Wllkens had not made a success in the business and was largely in arrears for rent She has been unable to enforce payment or to secure any other tenant willing to pay over J700 a month She was further embarrassed by the fact that Wllkens bwned all the furniture and carpets the house subject to a heavy mortgage It was made apparent by these facts that if she ejected Wllkens the house would be left vacant on her hands As a compromise she has permitted Wllkens to continue under his lease at a reduced rental of 1700 a month Mrs Merrltt upon taking charge of the estate found that her father had a number of employes working In his vast library of 200000 volumes She Immediately discharged all this help with the exception of one man who now has charge of the books Among other property her father owned a majority of the capital stock of the Sutro Railroad Company She discovered the corporation to be In debt 1120000 without present means to pay Making a virtue of necessity she agreed to an assessment of 2 a share which called for the payment out of her wards estate of 42000 ea She was further embarrassed in the discharge of her trust by many private debts of her father The Income from much of the property waa slight and sales had to be made at a sacrifice The total Indebtedness of the estate on August 8th last the date of Sutros death was 590666 82 the bulk of which was due the Hlbernla and Nevada banks The amount due the Hlbernln Bank was 518000 and the Nevada Bank 110000 The guardianship of Sutro extended from February last to August 8th Tha receipts during that time were 87 741 and the disbursements 81252 22 leav lng a balance of 26490 78 This amount is increased by outstanding checks so that

the boys ran I started back but on turning around saw a boy lying In the street I thought he had fainted Just then a man named Sparrow rushed up and as I picked the boy up he shouted You struck the boy youve killed him He acted as if he was drunk or crazy I said to him that the boy must have fallen in the crowd and been kicked and trampled on Sparrow Uok the boy away from me and grabbed my star
