The occasion was ladies' night The programme was all good, but the ladles were particularly interested In the boxing bout between J. E.

Britt and W. J. Leonard. It was a clever imitation of a fight. The fencing between Professor Louis Troncbet and E.

Ortion drew applause frequently from the spectators. The Japanese wrestling by K. Inouye and two pupils took the breath awav from the ladles as well as from the pupils Major Robert Reed's feats of swordsl manship were thrilling. He placed a potato on the bare neck of G. L.

Woolrieh and cut the potato in. half with a slash from a keen-edged sword.

It Is refreshing to know that Cal Ew- Ing's baseball cripples have departed. They have ended a protracted engagement at Recreation Park much to the delight of the fans. Los Angeles will have them for thi3 week's series, and as a consequence there will be some games worth seeing ct Recreation Park.

The Eacramentos have come to town to meet the Friscos. Owing to the shortening days the games will be started at 2:45 p. instead of 3 o'clock as heretofore. Manager Beebe's bluff about betting $1000 that the champions can beat the Friscos, which was called by Manager Harris, Is now In statu quo. The line-up for to-day is as follows: San Francisco.

R. Davis and Frank Powers. On Friday afternoon and on the afternoon of November 2 rallies will be held on the bleachers. On November 6 an ax rally will take place. The famous ax.

which was taken from the Stanford rooters by Berkeley students two years ago, will be brought out by Football Captain Womble. the present custodian. Hooters Plan Many Rallies. Captain Forsee and M. McSherry of the Pinkerton detective agency dropped in from Chicago yesterday morning.

Both are noted for the efficiency of their work on race courses and are general favorites with turfmen. F. Laudermaan, a well-known veteran bookmaker, will be here in time to cut in on Saturday. Sam Shaen. who has been connected with the field books at the local tracks for several years, has returned from Chicago, where he has been booking this summer for George Rose.

Recent Turf Arrivals. The Olympic Club team will go to Honolulu for a Christmas game with the Oahu College eleven. C. G. Bailey, a University of California alumnus, who la athletic instructor in the college, haa written to J.

Muma, the Olympic Club football manager, giving him a guarantee of all expenses. The Olympic players will sail some ten days prior to the data of the game. The California management received a telegram yesterday from K. C. Gordon, the Princeton manager, asking that an offer of terms for a Christmas game be made.

Manager Decoto will wire an offer of half the net receipts, with a guarantee of expenses, contingent upon California" 9 success in the game with Stanford. The cost of bringing the Princeton team out would be about $5000, but as this would be the first appearance on the coast of cne of the "Big Four" teams it is believed there would be no danger, of financial loss to the university guaranteeing expenses to the visiting team. The offer comes to California through the Influence of "King" Kelly, California's old coach, who is head football coach for hl3 alma mater this year. It is the first time that the manager of one of the "Big Four" has asked for a definite offer of terms. A definite proposal has come from Princeton for a Christmas game in San Francisco with the University of California team.

The Berkeley men are willing provided they win In the big game November 9 with Stanford. If they lose it Is probable a game between Stanford Princetpn will be arranged.

Nevada carried the ball; 32 yards to the 72-yard line on bucks by Graham, Keddie, Smith, Dripps and Riordan, and' then lost the ball on the beginning of play, in the first half Stowe kicked off for California 45 yards and Graham ran the ball in five yards. Nevada at once began. hammering the tackles for three and four yard, gains, varying this by an occasional try at- end, Keddie once going around Womble for a four-yard gain. After advancing the ball 30 yards without a pause Nevada lost the pigskin on downs, Riordan failing to make the distance through Braler at tackle.

Mini gained a yard by a crisscross on" tackle and then went over for a touchdown on a straight buck against tackle.

It was the first consolation the California partisans had had, but it was sufficient. to bring them all to their feet for several minutes of wild cheering.

Overall kicked the goal without difficulty.

In the Judicial proceedings which culminated recently in the indictment of Customs Collector Hoey of the port of Nogales by the United States Grand Jury at Tucson, David D. Jones, official interpreter of Chinese for United States District Attorney Marshall B. Wood worth, acted a prominent part. He was detailed by request of the United States Attorney General at Washington to proceed to Tucson and assist the officers of the Government as interpreter for the Chinese witnesses and in translating Chinese letters, produced before the Grand Jury. For more than a year past Chinese have been landed at Guaymas, Mexico, then taken overland and passed across the line at Nogales into the United States.

This was in pursuance of a conspiracy, at the head of which was the Collector of Customs, and the members of were receiving large sums for landing Chinese from Mexico. The ring was exposed by a line rider named Webb. Webb was a customs inspector, detailed by Collector Hoey to guard a- portion of the frontier by patrolling it on i horseback. He. thought strange that, he was never able to catch any.

Chinese crossing the line and that certain points were kept out of his So one day he disobeyed orders and rode in a direction-opposite to that which he had been ordered to take. He bagged seventeen Chinese attempting to get Into the United' States. Then the matter was taken up by the United States authorities. Secret Service Agent Dickie and United States -District Attorney Mc- Lamore of Texas were detailed to uproot the ring, which they succeeded in doing admirably. One of the chief conspirators and boodlera, Chinese Inspector Josey blew out his brains when confronted with the evidences of his guilt.

He had been a church leader and posed as a very religious man. Dates for! Angeles Fiesta. LOS ANGELES, Oct. The fiesta committee met and decided, after some discussion, to name May 7, 8 and 9 as the official days for the fiesta celebration.

"In the second half, Keddie kicked- oft for 45 yards, More running it In 20 yards. After two line 'bucks and an exchange of punts, California had the ball, 3 yards from the center in California's territory. Mini lost a yard. Then it was that Whippie's great run with the equally great Interference of Overall and Albertson won California's first For the remainder of the game, California's better condition, shiftier playing, better punting and runnlng-in of punts, and better interference on end runs, made its play clearly superior. Except for.

an occasional lapse, the Nevada line was strong, fully equal to California's. Just at the end of the half Sherman went in at half in Mini's place, and he was given the ball In hope that he might skirt the end for a touchdown. Big Riordan, however, was through the line after him and caught him back of the line for a loss. The game ended with the ball in California's possession in the -center of the field. Captain Leadbetter Injured.

"Cleve" Leadbetter, Nevada's plucky captain, had a rib fractured late in the second half, before California's second touchdown. It is feared he will not be able to play in the game Saturday with Stanford on the Stanford campus. After the game Nevada's coach, A. C. Michigan's famous right tackle of '98 and '99, captain of the team in the latter year, and assigned to a place in the "All-America team" of expressed himself as well pleased with the showing made by his team, considering that it represents a student body of but 125 men.

He complained that California's runners the beltsof men In the interference, In violation of the rules, and also that the time-keepers," both- California men, lengthened out the second: half to give California a chance to score a third The line-up was as follows: California.

With this understanding all objections were withdrawn.

A permanent record of the fight is thus assured. Pictures Will Be Taken. Ruhlin fought Joe Goddard six rounds to no decision in- Philadelphia and Given', a second chance, Gus has never failed to put away an antagonist who beat him the first time. There Is something behind this peculiar performance of Ruhlin. It may be that going Into the ring with a precise knowel'dge of how hard the other fellow can punch and how fast a pace he can cut out helps the Akron fighter.

Certain it is, however, in- Ruhlin's case, that defeat teaches him the road to future victory." Whether or not this will prove true in his coming mill with -Jeffries -remains to be seen. Ruhlin lost to Yank Kenny some years ago at North Baltimore in sixteen rounds. He was not 'entirely, out, but was beaten so badly that the police stopped the "fight. He met Kenny In Hartford some time after and 'took him into camp In six rounds.

This immense spheroid weighs about twenty pounds and when the champion hurls it the ball cuts through space like a cannon-ball. Jeffries' is no child in strength. He ISO pounds and like his elder brother has strength and endurance i but he could hardly stop the ball sent him by Jim.

Jack would brace himself and stiffen his body, but the force would send, him back a trifle each time. This work was continued for some time and the champion stopped when he saw that Jack was losing, buttons and felt weary. The work Jeffries did up to this time would -have tired ordinary man. but as Jim is out of -the he picked up light dumbbells and side-stepped and danced around the gymnasium fighting -an imaginary opponent.

Whitney's Watershed, the winner of the' race, ridden by Johnnie Reiff was considered to be a rank outsider and started at 25 to 1 against Lord Wolverton's Osboch, which was second the finish, was the favorite at 100 to 14 against. The betting on C. W. Wood's Lascaris, third horse, was 10 to 1 against, Codoman, ridden by Maher was greatly fancied in France, but did not flatter his supporters. M.

Ephrussi, Codoman's is said to have backed the horse to win $40,000." Watershed won by a neck after an.exciting finish, The American horse remained in the rear until the. bushes were passed, when he took up the running, followed by Lascaris and Osboch. The latter drew up inch by inch, but little Reiff drove his mount in great style and landed him first. Three-quarters of a length separated the second and third horses. Twenty-three horses ran.

The distance was one mile and 237 yards. -Mr. Whitney's Spectrum and J. R. Keene's Chacornac were the only starters in the subscription stakes, distance one mile.

Last night after finishing a run he felt as frisky as a young colt. Instead of retiring early he sat on the piazza of the hotel laughJng over his experiences as a boiler-maker, which he narrated to a crowd of Interested listeners. He could hardly sit still. Every ten minutes he would sprint up and down the. stretch of road In front of the hostelry and romp with dogs that always crowd around him.

(P. Jeff received two letters to-day that made him feel happy. One was from his lawyer, who announced that he had compromise 1 an oil case in which the big fellow was Interested, and Jeff's bank account would soon be enlarged. The other letter was from Sam Thall, the wellknown theatrical manager and director of the Alcawir Theater, San Francisco. Sam informed Jeff liat he would loan him his mascot when lie came to the city.

Jeff Instantly, understood this to mean that Thall would hand him a silver cuff-button feel fresh and ceady for more work. In the afternoon he played ball with the ladies and guests of the! hotel. He entered Into the game with full spirit and enjoyed the The ball was a mushy affair used for playing Indoors, but when the champion swung his bat on It, it sailed far out of reach. It was thought by this time Jeff had finished his day's and Brother Jack and Bob Armstrong counted upon spending the balance of the day lolling around the hotel, but Jeff disappointed them by announcing he intended taking a jaunt over. mountains.

He Invited various people to accompany him, but as he set a terrific pace his Invitation was declined. Jeff then donned heavy clothes and started out by himself. He returned in three hours covered with perspiration and delighted with his long run. He ate a hearty supper and retired early. It is early to bed and early to rise at the training quartsrs.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY OF CHAMPION JEFFtflES, -SHOWING THE GREAT BULK OF THE BOXER AND THE ARMAMENT WITH WHICH HE HAS PLATED HAVOC WITH THE ASPIRATIONS OF ALL THE HEAVYWEIGHTS WHO HAVE APPEARED DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS. These are busy days down at Ruhlln's training quarters at -the Slx-mlle House. It has been a long while since Blanken's "gym" apparatus has been used so roughly, for Gus Is a terror on everything In the training quarters from the boxing gloves to the nails In the floor.

When he works he goes at it with a snap and vim that fairly shakes the building. Ruhlin has reconsidered his vow not to 'put on the gloves again before the big fight. Next Saturday night Gus will Journey down to Redwood City, where he box four friendly rounds with Joe McAuliffe, who is opening a gymnasium and boxing school there. Joe has been having a hard trial oi it for some years back. His old manager, Billy Madden, remembered the time when "My b'ye Joe" was a money getter In the.

prize ring and when he heard Joe was to try to better himself In Redwood City he volunteered Ruhlin's services. This will be the last time Ruhlin will put glove until he steps into the ring with Jeffries. Ruhlin may- be said to be taking things practically easy as far as outdoor work is concerned. A daily spin from his quarters down to the Sierra Point House and back constitutes all his road work.
