"DENVER" SMITH
AFTER JACKSON
The Former Coloradoan
Would Like to Meet the
Great Peter.
Willing to Face the Winner
of the Goddard-Sharkey
Fiasco.
Something About O'Eourke and
When Waicott Had Muscular
Cramps.
Yesterday many took advantage of the
beautiful weather to visit Waicott and
Lj\ i_ :;e at their training quarters. The
lads ar« in the Dink of condition and are
a:.s uu ly waiting for Friday night to
come.
Youne Mitchell, preaiaent of the Occi
dental Club, crossed iho bay and spent
the day with O'Rourke. Further plan*
for the bis; battle were perfected. The
greatest care is being taken by tne man
agement to insure the spectators from an
noyance in securing their seats. The
ushers will be in uniform and in sufficient
force to handle tne bi^ crowd.
The demand for seats is something un
precedsntel in local ring history. Many
orders have been booted from Nevada
and several from Oregon and Arizona.
Nearly e?ery city in the State has applied
for iefcets.
O'Rourke is somewhat apprehensive.
He is afraid that on the night of the bat
tle Watcott may be :-fflicied with muscu
lar cramps. O'RourKe, while not wishing
in the least to detract from Larigne's
great victory wuen he met Waicott at
Mespetb, L. L, attributes Walcott's defeat
to mu^cuiar cramps.
If this be true it is the first time in WaN
cott's numerous battles that he has met a
man capable of giving him muscular
cramps. T\io«e who witnessed the battle
say that the "Saginaw Kid" fought the
douchty warrior from Barbadoes to a
stand, aud that in another round he would
bavH riii'-hed hm.
"In the fight Friday nisht Walcott will
have several pounds the better of it. La
v Kiie will probably weigh i:> 4 pounds at 6
o'cock. when the men are to w igh in.
Walcott will co but little below 136. "From
the time the men weieti in until they en
tf-r the ring Walcott will take on at least
five pounds. Will this rapidly acquired
weight be a benefit to him? O'Rourke
thinks that it will, for several days were
spent qaibbllng over weithts b'tore the
m..ti h wai made. Laviane wanted to
weign in at 13<» at the rineside. O'Rourke
wouldn't einertain this proposition and
the mater was compromised ai 136 si 6
o'clock.
There are those, however, who contend
that the rapidly acquired weight will
Jeave Walcott in the first lew rouads of
the limit, and if he is not successful in
Biorpintr the "Kid" early m the tight,
this weight, iii-iead of being beneficial,
will be a detriment.
It the pueil sts put up an exhibition
similar to the one fought at Mespetn, it
■will be the most stuobornly and wickedly
fought battle ever witnessed in the roped
arena in this city.
Both men are sloggers. They are al
way- on the aggressive and hammer one
another about the nug Vicious. y. It is
give and tsiKe, and in the coming battle
the Question of endurance should be con
sidered.
In their former bout Walcott had the
beuer of the contest for the first ten
rounds, and thru Lavmne became the ae
gr s or and Walco t was badly uistressed
wl-en lime was cal.ed in the fifteenth
round and the battle giren to Ltvigne.
The preat showing which Walcott made
with (ireen will make the colored lad the
favorite in the betting. It is thought that
the betting before tiie night of the battle
Will be 10 to 7. perhaps 10 10 «. Walcoti
will not be a 2 to 1 shot, however.

CURRY'S STORY WITH A MORAL.
"Never Kick Back at a Yellow Dog," Was His
Father's Admonition*
When Charles F. Curry was asked why he didn't take legal »t«ps to
top the unwarranted assaults that are being maae on him by the Eiam-
Mr. Curry replied that he knew of no better answer than to tell a
story tuat was often repeated to him by his father.
"My father was a c ittie-drover in oni of the Western States in early
time?," said Mr. Curry, "and h s business compelled him to ride horse
back a great deal. Now it is known to all horsemen mat a man becomes
uch attached to a saddle animal, and my father was no exception to the
rule, so he did what almost any rider would do, that is, when he came to
a steep or slippery hill he would gst down and walk up. so that it would
ease -his nag over the summitand keep Him fresh for faster travel when
the good road was reached. In those days every country farm had about
a dozen mangy yellow curs in the front yard, and it was their custom to
run out and bark and snarl at all gentlemen who chanced to pass their
way. They annoyed my father in this manner, but he restrained his
righteous indignation as much a* possible, until one day he decided to
try another plan, so waiting until a particularly venturesome cur ran at
him a, be was climbing a difficult grade ho kicked backward without
looking arouno, ana succeeded in caichinc the dirty dog under the jowls,
knocking him down and sending him home howling with pain. That
was«ooi so far as It went, but unfortunately the roadway wss in bad
Condition and my father slipped in the wet clay and had to put his hands
on tbe ground in order to sxve himse f from a severe fall. As it was his
hands and clothing were soiled and he had vers- little satisfaction over
the castieaiion that he had bestowed ou his low-Lvcd assailant. My
father used to end this story with the advice, 'My son, never kick back at
ayeliowdog,' and that's why the Examiner has thus far escaped the
punishment it deserves."
TALENT WAS
IN A QUANDARY
Winners Hard to Pick at
Ingleside Coursing Park
Yesterday.
Crack English Dogs Metallic
and False Flatterer Were
Slow.
Cronin & McDonald's Fleet-Footed
California Dog Carried Off the
Purse.
The coursing at Ineleside park yester
day was visited by the largest crowd of
the season. The best bounds of the year
were started, and the sport was satisfac
tory to all. The talent was in a peculiar
position, as the dogs which seemed to be
in form and out to win came in devoid of
laurels and were shut out in the first go.
The two crack English dogs. Metallic
and False Flatterer, proved to be disap
pointments, although both are exceeding
ly fast. Yesterday was the first time that
Metallic started, and as he was not accli
mated and went against the fleet-footed
Captain Morse, be should not gain the
neglect of the betting fraternity, as better
things may be expected of him.
During the day it seemed as though the
shorteuders would again walk off with the
purse 9, but reversals came and the day
was evened up. It is hard to tell whicb
was the bent aog that started during the
rundown, as home seemed to be entirely
out of form. Tipperury Lass was espe
cially so and should not be allowed to go
ajrain for weeks to come.
Up to tne fourth tie it looked as thotigh
False Flatterer would carry off the money,
but the well-breu Skyball once more
showed his mettle and won the purse.
Hanlon & E^an, the new proprietors of
the Sacramento coursing park were on a
visit to H. Brennan, and during the day
visited t!ie park and receieved a few well
timed pointers on th» sport. The runs
seemed to be unusually fast, as the bares
are receiving exercise regularly, and are
in goo 1 condition when they start before
the slipper of the hounds.
The principal tak amonc dog followers
is the improvement in the does of the last
two year?. During this season puppies
have started against the old-time does
and won, seemingly ftands down. The
final course of the day between Conne
mara and Skyball was as even a thing as
could be wished for by th« visitor?', as
both dogs are known to be on the top list
of good goers and hard workers. The
sport is regularly gain-ng in rubiic and
sporting favor, as could be see" by the
large crowd present yesterday. The pool
boxes were unable to handle the money,
and many bets were mad" on the outside
durin • the day. Cronin ft McDonald, the
owners of the winner, L<tve good dogs in
good form, and many sake* will be car

lic opinion is to be relied upon. The dogs
ran in the followinz manner:

AGAINST THE CHARTER.
A Ma»sOleetin|j to Combat the Idea*
of the Prtupnt Com
mittee.
Charles E. Hawkes, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of a society called the
Citizens' Charter Association, has called a
mass-meetinc at Pythinn Castle. "JO9 Mar
ket street, to convene at 8 o'clock to-night.
Ihe call states that those indorsing the
movement are opposed to centralization.
Among other things the following charges
are ma<ie :
"This organization recognizes the im
perative necessity of a new char
ter an I such a charter as will prop
erly regulate municipal affairs with
out placing shackles on the people. It
proposes to nominate or indorse only such
candidates as are pledged to represent all
interests — as well tliobe of the middle and
humbler c! itM as of the corporations and
millionaire .
"One sufficient reason for this move
ment is toe fact thai the Committee of
One Hundred appointed by Mayor Phelan
proposes to keep until too late for other
nominations for freeholders than those to
be plnced in the tield by that committee,
us work in the hands of an advi-ory com
mitte-', holding autocratic and centraliz
ing views of municipal government. That
committee is vested with full power to re
vise and cnango the work submitted to it
to meet i<s own views. Of c-urse, the
nominees of the Committee of One Hun
dred will represent the dominating idea of
one-man ruie which permeates that body.
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1897.
SHOOTING FOR
OLD MEDALS
The Ownership of Valuable
Military Trophies Is
Decided.
Company X Wins the Pretty
Foster Prize for the Last
Time.
Members of M Have the Choice of
Two Other Desirable Gifts from
Friends.
In the big military shoot at the Shell
Mound Park yesterday Company X won
the Foster trophy and Company I took
the choice of the Wieland-Alaneels ana
the Obermeyer trophies.
For the past three months Companies
X, I and M have be«n in active practice
for the contest for thes« t»rzes, tee last of
the Jot lhat were put up for competition
before the conso'i lat lod of the Kate mi
litia. The Foster troDhy was offered for
the best team of twelve men who shoal !
win the same three times in annual com
petition. Company X was successful
twice, and this year the final was to be de
cided, hence the interest in making the
best record on this occasion. With the
other two trophies the conditions were
different, as the donors wanted their prizes
to be contested for annually. However,
the recent consolidation of tne companies
mad- it necessary for some other disposi
tion of the same, and it was decided to
make the contest final. With the latter
trophies it was necessary for teams of
thirty to compete, each man to be allowed
the regulation ten soots.
The shooting started out lively yester
day morninc and was kept up until as
late as the men could see wither the sights
or the targets. Company I was badly
handicapped in the match for the foster
trochy by the absence of several of the
best snots. With Company M it was an
uphill match trom the start. However, It
will receive the troj>hy that Company I
does not select, for as stated the latter com
pany has the choice of the Wieland-Man
gels or the Obermeyer trophies. The
scores were as follows:

As seen, X's men were the victors by
twelve points for the choice of the two
trophies. It is likely that there will be a
jollification in trie armories of the win
ning companies over their success in the
near future.
A few of the members of Company A of
the Fifth were on the range, and naturally
they had a match for a dinner. Captain
Poulter and Sergeant McCormick were
pitied against Corporal Mng'll and Private
Beli. Ca?itain Poulter made 42, and Ser
geant McCormick. 44— «2; Corporal Magill
made 44, and Bell 32—76. the former win

There was some excellent shooting done

As the year nears the end the interest of
tbe members of the Columbia Pistol and

continues to Increase, and consequently
the attendance yesterday was as large as
at any time -nice the start. On the Bland

BLOOMER GIRLS
ON THE DIAMOND
The San Francisco Athletics
Succumb to the Boston
Aggregation.
Basehits, Runs and Errors Piled
Up in a Most Bewildering;
Manner.
Fully One Thousand People Witness
the Performance at Sixteenth and
Folsom Streets.
At 7 o'clock last nisrht the official scorer
of the ball game between the Boston
Bloomer Girls and the 6an Franci'-co
Athletic Cub team issued a bulletin
stating that the girls had won by a
of 14 to 13; the hits, errors (principally
errors) and other incidentals of tUe lianie
have not been figured up yet.
The young women came from Boston
all right; no other city on the continent
could turn out such an aggregation.
They laid aside their spectacles for the
occasion, however, with results most dis
astrous to the game, for the majority of
the nietnoers were unable to get their
eyes on the ball when it was in the air.
and when it was rolling along the ground
they forgot that they did not have their
aprons on and tried to stop it in ordinary
woman fashion, with the result that the
si here would dodge through their bloom*
ers in a most dis'resnng manner.
The visiting delegation was handicapped
(possibiy) by having two of the best pay
ers msabled. Nellie Bly, the recuiar
catcher, is suffering from cbarley-horse,
tonsillitis, or some o l . her ailment, and
cave up her position to Male Wuliarus,
wnile sue started in »o umpire, ijut her
own side cba-«d her off the diamond dur
ing the fourth inning, and one of the
eirls declared she couldn't even urni ire.
What could -he do benind the bat? Wil
liams is an olj league player and coacher
for the bioomer girls, and he gave every
indication that he is thoroughly con
versant with the game. He hit- the ball
hard ana often, runs ihe bases fast and
daringly, and otherwise conaucts himself
like a ball-player.
Gustie Jlab?ck was the other absentee.
Gustie novers over third ba«e when she
dons bloomers, but she candidly admits
that ncr st r ong point is on tne so in
anticipation of a large crowd >ne played
her favorite position, and ieft the third
corner »n charge of Hose Blake. Now
Rose may play ball all ripht enough — in
Boston — but she tiad an off day yesterday,
and it is doubtful if she could nave caugnt
a cold.
But with Maud Nolson it was different.
MaU'Jie is the pitcher and «he knows her
business. She shot them over the rlate,
fielded well, stopped hot liners, covered
all parts of the Reid, smashed t be ball
hard and often, stele base and ture her
bloomers in sliding feel first like a real
ball player.
All the others had the utmost confi
dence in Maud and whenever one of them
got the bull they Invariably threw it to
her, no matter if they could have retired
an opponsnt with much less exertion, for
they knew she would understand what to
go next.
Then little Annie Jennings, down at
second, had a iudimentary knowledge of
the game. Several times Williams drove
the ball down to her from the t late in or
dur to cvi off a bare steal and she al war.*
hel! on to the sphere and would tag the
runner with a vigor that threatened to
d6tit his ribs.
>pace — and charity — precludes a de
tailed descriDtion of the gome, but the
giris started in at bat and smashed the
ball for four hits and two runs. From
that time until the close troubles followed
in such rapid succession thai nobody but
an expert could keep track of them, ami
as soon as he get* them compiled in tabu
lar form the ;-core will be published.
The young women go to Benicia for a
game to-morrow, and will visit all the
towns in :he central portion of the State.
It is probable tbat they will re:urn here
for a week-day game wiih either the Bo
bsruian or University Club teams if adate
can Ije arranged for next weeu.
HANDBALL GAMES,
T. F. Ronnrt and Al Hampton Defeat
«J. C. Nf.tloti and M, J. Kll-
gallon.
The San Francisco handball court was
crowded yesterday, eeveral exciting games
being played. The chief attraction was
a game in which T. F. Bonnet and
Al Hampton played against J. C. Xealon
and Al. J. K.leallon. It was a hot same,
and beicre its conclusion the scorer was
almost in tears. The final was won by
Bonnet and Hampton by three aces.
Another interesting gams was the one
netween the lour heavy-weiehts, Phil
Ryan and Dan Rodgers against M. Mc-
Neil and George McDonald. The two

WON BY A
NARROW MARGIN
Reliance Gains a Victory
Over Stockton in a Close
Contest
The Game full of Brilliant
Plays and Numerous
Surprises
Santa Cruz Defeats the California
Markets-McGrath's Great Oaten,
Other Games.
Although the Stocktons were defeated
yesterday they have the consolation of
knowing that their opponents bad no
easy time in landing the victory.
Reliance, instead of being on top, very
narrowly escaped being abut out. Up to
the last inning it was anybody's game, so
evenly did the teams play.
The 5000 spectators that attended the
game were treate i to a great exhibition.
The error column shows that both teams
were guilty of many errors, but they sink
into insignificance when it is taken into
consideration that they played with a ball
that traveled with the speed of a cannon
ball when struck by the bat la the hands
of a sturdy player. T.iis occurred often,
but the really fine fielding of both teams
pievented a Jurther increase in that col
umn.
Little "Cootsy" Billings was the first
man to reach first for Stockton, and this
was due to "Josh" Riley's hish throw to
Mag a ire, and on which the diminutive
snortstop reached third. Selna made his
bow, and, after biding his time, was pre
sented witii a base on balls, blarney hav
ing observed that Billings' attention was
taKen up with a pretty maiden in the
uraiiii stand and was playing off third, shot
the ball over to that corner, and he was
put out, much to his discomforture.
Reliance gave an inkl ng of the game
they intended to play when they took
their chance in the initial inning. Van
Haltren, be of Eastern fame and the idol
of the old timer-", loomed up at the piaie,
his graceful form being «et off by the neat
uniform of the New Yorks.
He wa« given an ovation as he stood at
the plate and responded by sending a
•wilt rrounder between the "first and sec
ond bags. The GianU* representative
gave a sample of h.s Eastern training by
his quick getaway and the great speed in
which be went to the initial bag. He
reached there before the bail and took
second on a wild pitch. Riley sincled
over short and Van went to thirl. Riley
stole second, and both men scored on
Lange'« two-basiger to deep center. He
went to third on a passed bail and scored
soon after on Stanley's sacrifice. The
inning ended by Smith making a brilliant
running catch of Siu.z' fly, which par
tfafljr redeemed his many errors.
Stockton roiled up three tallies in suc
ceeding innings, and the <c<>re stood 3 to
3 up to the sixth, when Reliance added
two more run?.
From the latter inning to the last
neither team scored.
Harper displayed his usual coolness
and speed, and there is not a doubt tliat
Up das net an equal in the State.
Van Haltren's work in the box was
fairly good lor a player who has not occu
pied that position for the length of time
he has. His curves proved puzzling, and
he fielded his position well.
Stanley backed him up in $ood style,
and his fine throwing prevented many
base s:eais.
Borland and Selna both distinguished
themselves by runnnic catches. Tun
former's work in left fiell was brilliant.
In one inning he made a thirty-yard
sprint and pot under an Impossible fly
tbat epoiied Stockton's chance* of tiein;
the score. Again in the eighth he retired
the si<te by peume under three im
possible fly s. Selna's work at first wan
also of nigh order.
The annexed score tells the story of a
lively game:

AT CENTRAL PARK.
With a dinner at Delmonico's as an in
ducement to win, the Beachcombers
played yesterday as they never did before,
and after nine hard fought innings suc
ceeded in winning from the California
Markets by a score of 5 to 4.
Ba z seemed to see a sumptuous table
set on the home plate, for be pitched in
old-time form. Strikeouts came his wav
to the extent of seven, but "N-ipoteon' 1
"agin's troopers balanced tnings by
shaking him up for ten hits.
To McGrath the visitors owe their salva
tion, and be is surely entitled to a second
helping at the coming baDquef. It wns
he who retired the Markets by an im
possible catch at a stage of tne game
when .here were two meu out and t-vo on
bases, and when his team was but one
ahead. While shivering in his corner of
the lot. vainly hopin- that the leaden ball
might possibly come his way, be was sur
prised to see the dead sphere moving
heavenward and in his direction. Calcu
lating that it was going over his head, he
ran backward and got under it when every
one thought it was a two- bagger. Fitz
geralii, at Erst, also deserves mention for
the clever way in whicn he played his po
sition. The appended score tells what has

Victim of Nervous Dyspepsia and
Nervous Prostration.
Onalaska, Wis.— For ten years I have
been the suffering victim of nervous pros-
tration and nervous dyspepsia. I cannot
begin to tell you or remember the reme-
dies I have taken or the prescriptions 1
have tried. Take what I would, I grew
worse instead of better, and was well-
nigh discouraged. Then came the grate-
ful change. One month ago— on the ad-
vice of my brother, who sent me a box—
I commenced taking Dr. Charcot's Kola
Nervine Tablets. I have taken one box
and gained five pounds, but that is noth-
ing compared to the physical relief I have
experienced. lam better and happier
than I have been for five years. If I
could make the recommendation stronger
I would gladly do so.
Mrs.- Lulu Gleason.
Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tab!«s are
