6 "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. •Denver" Ed Smith, who is manager of the Colonist Hotel at Victoria B C writes to Bo«ie O'Donnell asking him to match nim with I'etc-r Jacksoi, the fight 10 take place in this city.

"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 ried off by them during the season if pub lic opinion is to be relied upon. The dogs ran in the followinz manner: Cronin <fc McDonald's Skybsll b»»t Grace A Dean's Deceiver, J. Kerriean's Tod Sloan beat M. Welch's Tipperary Jabs, ( urtis <fc Son's Blackette beat J.

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: Company X fFosicr triiphr) — Cantain r. J. Cimiiingham 44, Sergeant E. F. Bolteron 41, Corporal J. L. U sfbiu 45, ti M. Bailey 40, P. F. Bruuotte 35, P. Kur / 42, • F.

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 ning by six points.

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.

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.

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 been omi: : Cat- Markkts. ab. r. bh. sb. ro. a. *. H.

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 vegetable and harmless.
