Call.
NEW YORK, July 10.— The Sporting
Life of London says: Jim Jeffries and
Charley Mitchell are really matched,
but the terms indicate that the Eng
lishman has no faith in his ability to
make a ii^-ht against the champion.
In regard to the match, the decision
was quickly reached. Mitchell, first of
all, stated his terms. Brady then out
lined what conditions would be accept
able to Jeffries. Finally a match was
ratified for the boxing champions of
England and America to contest 10 two
minute rounds, with five- » gloves,
on a day to be named during the last
week in August, at a place to be mu
tually agreed upon. The chief bone of
(•.intention proved to be the appoint
ment of a referee. Mr. Brady sug
gested several gentlemen for this of
fice, and finally named two well-known
sportsmen to whom Mitchell said he
could offer no objection. This practi
cally settled the business. Articles
were at once drafted and signed, of
which the following is a copy*.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
COWES, July 19.— There was beautiful
weather to-day for the trial of the yacht
Shamrock, challenger for the America's
cup, against the Britannia. There were
big crowds both ashore and afloat to wit
ness the race. The course to-day was
yesterday's course reversed. The start
ing point was -iff the Royal Yacht Squad
ron's house, around the Solent bank buoy,
thence to the Nab lightship, finish!] - at
the spit buoy off Portsmouth.
The Prince of Wales boarded the Brit
annia shortly before the start. There was
a good southeasterly breeze blowing all
the morning, but it softened considerably
toward the time for the starting of the
race. Both yachts carried club topsails.
A good start was effected at '10:12 a. m.,
the Shamrock crossing the line a half
length ahead of her competitor, being
very smartly handled. She "had a new
spinnaker set for the run to the Solent
bank. Her sails seemed to set better than
yesterday. The breeze almost died out
as the yachts stood along shore and the
boats housed their spinnakers. The boats
then headed for the center of the channel
to avoid being becalmed on the lee of the
island. Th Britannia followed Then was
but little air, and the yachts practically
drifted during the next half hour. The
breeze then revived and the Shamrock,
which meanwhile had slightly increased
her lead, secured a start, widening he
gap that rated her from the Brit
annia, and rounded the Solent bank buoy
at 11:17:20. The Britannia rounded the
buoy at 11 .-21:35.
The I oats returned close-hauled up the
port tack. There was only the faintest
breeze and the Britannia was '-getting the
better of it. slightly reducing the gap.
Nearing (Towe's, however, the breeze
freshened considerably and the beat to
the Nab lightship promised to show better
time.
The Shamrock passed Ryde, going to
ward the Nab lightship; a mile and a half
ahead of the Britannia, and finally won
easily--
PORTSMOUTH. July If.— The yacht
Shamrock grounded off South Sea. be
tween Portsmouth harbor and Langston
harbor, but was soon towed off. It does
not appear likely that the challenger suf
fered material damage.
As was the case yesterday, the Sham
rock shot her superiority very soon
after the start was made. Beating to
windward, she ran away from her oppo
nent to the Nab lightship anil went
about in ten seconds, the Britannia occu
pying twelve seconds. The whole per
formance again showed that the chal
lenger is far ahead of the Britannia, al
though ihe unfortunate becalming of the
boats precluded he finishing of the course
before the Prince of Wales was obliged to
start for London. The Shamrock was ap
parently not damaged by the grounding.
The course as originally planned was not
completed. When off South Sea the
Britannia signaled that the Prince of
Wales had an engagement in London, and
requested that the race be considered
over, as he must return to Portsmouth,
The Shamrock was then twelve or fifteen
minutes ahead. She was immediately
turned homeward and directly afterward
grounded on a bank off Horse's Foot Fort.
She remained fast for ten minutes, when
she was safely and easily towed off and
back to Southampton.

LOTTIE M, HENRY LYNCH'S BLACK WONDER.
rhotograph by BOTE & HABENICHT.
The eyes of the leashmen have been upon Henry Lynch's wonderful little greyhound Lottie M for some time past. This
dainty maiden of the coursing field was whelped June I. 1897. On April 21 of the following year, when she was 10 months old,
she~woi a sapling stake. On May 21 she repeated the performance. On June 1 she won again, meeting IS-months-old dogs.
bn~j"une'l2 she was second in a sapling stake, her sister, Lalla Rookh. defeating her in the final. June 26 she won a sapling
stake, and on August 21 captured a beaten dog stake* She ran ten courses to win, three being "no goes." Although still a
puppy until December, she won an open stake November 6. „.-„. . . „, „
She won her first stake this year on May 7. and repeated the performance June 21. She was runner-up to the mighty Glad
iator June 25 and won the open" stake July 9. Her winnings total $1138, and some of the first prizes were small ones. She has
always been 'trained and handled for Mr. Lynch by John Maher. To the latter' rare judgment in conditioning the dog is
considered the secret of her success by her owner. She was bred by John Kerrigan. She never misses an opportunity to
•-core and always runs faster the farther she goes. In condition she weighs forty-seven pounds.
cess— entirely appropriate. So far
as It went the race was a splendid exhibi
tion of drivers' skill, combined with fast
young horse flesh. Kingmond, the strong
favorite of the day, encouraged his back
era by getting a heat. Then the . exciting
tlnish began. M- Henry, in a wonderful
drive in the stretch, pushed Success Into
winning In an almost dead heal finish with
Kingmond. ("cers did likewise with th"
Queen in the third heat. He tried it again
in the fourth, but The Queen failed to
carry out her noted driver's plans.
Wilask gave Kingmond a close race In
the first heat, Kingmond leading almost
all the way by only a neck. In the second
heat Kingmond. Wilask and The Queen
were together to the head of the stretch,
when Success got into the game and won
the heat from Kingmond by the barest of
noses. In the third heat Success and
Kingmond approached the final turn neck
and neck, but Geera came out with The
Queen and justified his reputation by the
manner in which he took the heat away
from the favorite. The bunch came
strongly toward the end of the fourth
heat The Queen and Kingmond were
leading when The Queen broke, while
Royal Baron came to the front and got
his nose first beneath the wire.
Lady of the Manor was played as the
favorite ln the 2:07 pace, but failed to'
satisfy her backers. The low mark of the
day (2:06%) was reached by Pearl Onward
in this event.
Sphinx S, the favorite, got only the
place ln the 2:27 pace, and Dorothy S, a
well backed mare, took second place to
Owyhee in the 2:20 trot.
The track was fast and the day cloudy

THREE JUDGES PASS UPON THE
ENTRIES' MERITS.
•
Payne of San Francisco Criticized
for Being Too Liberal in the
Bestowal of Blue
Ribbons.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
SANTA BARBARA. July 19.— Santa
Barbara Kennel Club has demonstrated
the- truth of the old adage that "faint
heart never won fair lady." Having the
midsummer heat to contend with, the
young club has nevertheless scored a sig^
nal success In Its second annual dog
show.
The fudges are Francis T. Underbill of
New York for mastiffs, C. A. Sumner ot
Los Angeles for fox terriers and 11. T.
Payne of San Francisco for all other
breeds.
Mr. Underbill's task was a peculiarly
easy one. The mastiffs were represented
by hut one specimen, and that one so good
that his blue ribbon was well merited.
: Alden M. Boyd of Los Olivos showed thld
: noble animal— Bismarck, by Royal-Mona.
! With a somewhat shorter muzzle Bis
marck would win from any mastiff shown
i in this State in the last 'tfwo years.
Mr. Payne In the open Great Dane class
(dogs) gave first to Riband II and second
to Viking, though many fanciers thought
i the latter beat the former in head and
legs and was just as good in body. Star,
■< rather weedy specimen, had as much
as he merited with the third prize. In
the open class for bitches, Marjel 11, a
typical Dane, was atone, as was Cham
pion Juanita, in the champion class.
Of the St. Bernard rough coated puppy
: dogs. King Kamehaha, a well marked dog
of good head and type, took first. He
was practically alone, as his would-be
competitor. Prince,, was a black and white
mongrel. In fougd coated bitches. Queen
Regent took first. In novice dogs, Duke
D, a fair specimen, was alone, as was
Orangedale Bute in novice bitches. Or
angedale Bute Is very good In head and
body, but her markings show too much
white. She took third in open bitches.
| In rough coated dogs, Omar Khayyam,
good In head, body and markings, took
first; Barry of Glen Rosa second, al
though Duke D is better in expression,
limbs and head, but the decision should
i not be impeached, as Barry is far the
better mover. In open bitches. Lady Bute
H took first easily. She Is active, good
all over and her expression is typical.
Lorelei II Is almost as good, but Is sway
backed; while Orangedale Bute was
beaten for the second place by her color.
In winners of bitches, Princess Scheher
azade was alone. A red ribbon should
have been given her, but Mr. Payne as
usual was far too liberal with the blue.
Princess is good in body, but lamentably
weak in head. In champion dogs, King
Munlek, a moderately good specimen, was
alone in his class.
puppies were shown, contrary to the rules.
Both were beauties and were awarded the
blue ribbon. Grouse F was alone in nov
ice dogs and competed with Sport W in
the open. Grouse was ludicrously fat, but
was so much better than Sport that he
was rightly awarded the blue ln spite of
his poor condition. Stamboleta. a splen
did bitch, was alone in the open and
champion Qeen of Counts lacked compe
tition in her class.
In bull terriers Daisy was the only bitch.
She has a thick head and was another
Instance of Payne's poor judgment in
awarding a first. In dogs Teddy Roose
velt, a little too fat but very good in head
and body, was an easy winner. Second
was withheld and third was given to
Dewey, a cross between a bull dog and a
bull terrier. \-~- "
Roly Poly, a halfbreed, shown as a
Spitz, obtained a second prize, being alone
In her class. Japie, a perfect specimen of
the Japanese spaniel, beat Fugl Sam, a
good little dog. Waldlne was alone In
Dachshund bitches, as was Rex M in
dogs. Each obtained a blue and was a
good type of the class. Fanny, shown as
a bobtailed sheep dog-, was simply a half
breed collie with a docked tail and was
properly sent out of the ring.
Judging will be resumed to-morrow and
i^obaWy will be coached, |-

Police Enter the Ring and Quell an
Incipient Riot, Incited by
the Rough Tactics of
Jack Ennis.
The solar plexus punch which Boxer
Fitzsimmons used in his memorable battle
at Carson City and the fame of which
traveled around the world was used with
telling effect at the San Francisco Ath
letic Club last night. It. was delivered in
the fifth round of the bout between Ed
Foy and Joe Bell, the latter being on the
receiving end of the battery. Ho had
returned blow for blow with his adversary
until Toy suddenly assumed the aggres
sive and hustled him all over the ring.
Bell's defense was gone and he was at
the mercy of Toy, who fairly rained
blow after blow on face and body. Ser
geant of Police Coogan was about to en
ter the ring to stop the boxing when Toy
landed a short-arm jolt in the pit of
Bell's stomach. Bell dropped to the floor
and rolled over on his back in agony
just as the gong signaled the end of the
round. There was no chance of his being
ready at the end of the minute rest, so
the decision went to Toy. The victory
was not a popular one, .as the spectators
thought Toy resorted to unfair tactics.
The bout between Vickers and Ennls de
veloped an incipient riot. Sergeant Coo
gan and his men had to enter the ring in
the sixth round, as the principals and sec
onds seemed intent upon making a battle
royal. The boxers had all the lion in them
aroused and for four rounds had* stood up
manfully and exchanged punch for punch.
In the sixth round Ennls was fighting
furiously when the bell sounded. He kept
right on, although Referee Greggains tried
to stop him. The seconds for both men
were a swaying, struggling mass about
the boxers when "the police took a hand.
They cleared the ring and the referee de
clared it "no contest." saying the men
were there to box and not act like bull
dogs.
The majority of the bouts were good,
the spectators getting full worth for their
money. Charley Thurston and Henry
Lewis, Deacon Jones and Joe Dodson
fought draws. Mike McClure received the
decision over Dan Ryan.
MILE RECORD LOWERED.
WASHINGTON.* July 19.-Harry Elkes
of Glens Falls, N. V., the middle-distance
champion bicycle rider of America, to-day
covered a mile In 1:31 flat, thus lowering
the record for that distance, held by
Eddie McDuffie of Boston, of 1:31 2-5. He
was paced by a motor cycle quad operated
by Henri Fournler. Elkes followed the
cycle closely from start to finish, the dis
tance between the two at no time being
more than a foot. There was no wind
shade to lessen the resistance. After the
first ride Elkes rode another mile under
the same conditions in the same time.

The umpire question is agitating the
league at present. At Watsonville last
Saturday and Sunday a change of umpires
was found necessary to satisfy the pa
trons in that town. The last time San
Francisco and Watsonville met in this
city the Farmers swore by scores of holy
books that Cahill was not fair or just in
his decisions. According to schedule,
Cahill went to Watsonville last Saturday
and umpired the game, after which a
storm broke loose that rocked the town.
T. F. Bonnet, who managed the local
team, saw thai the public ill-feeling must
be quieted, though he believed Cahill's
decisions to be absolutely fair in every
respect. He went to Santa I'ruz that
night and persuaded the Santa Cruz team 1
to accept a change of umpires, so Levy
and Cahill interchanged. As soon as j
Santa Cruz had agreed to this they re- I
pented, and rumors began to circulate
that the Lobsters were to be grilled.
Luckily the games were not decided on
the umpire's ruling.
A high old time is in store for the rout'
ers at Sacramento when the Lobsters and
the Senators cross bats Saturday. The
Lobsters are kicking their many legs be
cause the games are not to be played on
home grounds. Early in the season they
agreed to play a series with the Senators I
at Sacramento if the latter team would
compromise by visiting the Lobsters on
July 22 and 23. The Senators will get
both the pudding and the sauce, for the j
games will be played at Sacramento.
Question after question has been asked j
Bonnet why the local team received such
a drubbing from Watsonville.
"it's just this way. said Bonnet.
"Every man in these country towns
makes a coach of himself and how the
visiting teams stand It as well as they do
is a mystery to me. These country enthu
siasts set up a wild-fire josh that Is rat
tling in- the extreme. Why, they hardly
let a man play. If you think this does not
count in a match you are mistaken. When
an umpire gives a decision thai strikes
the home consciousness of opposition a
wild noise orgy is in working order at
once. You ought to see one of those games
to appreciate it."'
Streib is fast overhauling Krug as the
premier hitter of the league.
San Jos.- has signed two new players
this week. Jack Huston, who lias played
on almost every diamond in the country,
will play short and Dick O'Meara, who
played the outfield for Fort Wayne in the
Interstate League of 1896, will play right.
Huston is well known as a pitcher of
more than ordinary ability, having tilled
that position in the Sacramento club,
California League, In 1891, in the Pacific
Coast Northwest League and Texas and
Southern leagues. Of late years he has
played infield, this season coming third,
and managing the Mobile team in the
1 Southern League. He will prove a valua-
I ble acquisition to San Jose, being a splen
did base runner, a good fielder and fine
hitter. BBTtB
Of O'Meara not much Is known save
that he had a batting average in the In
terstate League of 1597 of .347 and was
considered a fair fielder. BwPI
The introduction of this new element In
the San Jose club will mark the retire
ment of Leake and Graham from, the pro
fesslqhal ranks for the balance of the sea
son. These players signed contracts to
play with San Jose until the close of the
vacation, as they will take up their
duties at college, Graham as professor
and Leake as a student. This necessitates
their retirement from professional ball
! playing. qB r *BMMH
O'Connor is looked upon as a valuable
find for the Sacramento club. He is no
doubt a good hitter and understands all
the points of the game thoroughly. 11.
will fill the position of captain for his
club.
Swindell will be behind the bat for the
locals this week, his spilt hand received
in the game a week ago Sunday having
healed. His Injury weakened the local
team in the last series, necessitating a
general change of positions.
Watsonville is looking for talent and
the wires are kept hot with offers to
Eastern players of ability.
Steffanl has proved a valuable find for
the Oakland team. His work against
Sacramento was decidedly brilliant.
From the manner in which Daubendais
is pitching, It looks as if Santa Cruz does
not require an Eastern pitcher.
San Francisco and San Jose will play
an exhibition game by electric light on
Thursday, July 27, at San Jose. This will
prove a decided novelty In the California
Baseball League, although it has been
undertaken with decided success by East
ern leagues. There will also be exhibi
tions of base running, throwing and hit
ting by the players, for which the win
ners will receive cash prizes.
Policemen's Heavy-Weight Race.
Captain James W. Gillln's company, the
pride of the Police Department, is all ex
citement over a foot race which is about
t>o come off between Officers J. T. Edner
and Edward Nolan. Both men are now in
training, while Prison-keeper Frank
O'Brien jingles $100 in his pocket, the re
sult of a bet made by the two men, who
will try each other's speed on the old base
ball grounds at Sixteenth and Folsom
streets within the next two weeks
The bet and the race grew out of an In
cident which occurred last Monday nigh*
when Sergeant Blank detailed four offi
cers to round up a gang of hoodlums who
were annoying the residents of Bryant
and Nineteenth streets. Edner and Nolan
were among those sent out to do the
catching act. While giving chase to the
fleetfooted toughs Edner caught two
while Nolan only bagged one. Over thes«
captures came the challenge as to which
was the best runner. There was only
one way of deciding the speed and this
was to run a race at 100 yards. The match
was made and in order to bind it -tleht
each man deposited $50 with O'Brien and
Officer Charles Barnes was selected as the
referee. " c
The comical side of the race and the
bets Is that both men belong to the heavy
weight squad. Edner weighs 200 pounds,
while Nolan turns the beam at 195 pounds
Both men are now in active training tak
ing their spins when off duty and walk
ing their beats with such a rapid move
ment as to excite the curiosity of the Mis
sion residents, who have been accustomed
to see the "cops" walk at the rate of a
mile an hour.

Protege A Shore Fight
Expected.
The meeting of Boxers Green and Goff
in the arena of the National Athletic
Club, Woodward's PaviliQn. to-night, is
expected to prove a short and merry one.
The betting men have figured it out that
Green should win on public form and are
placing their money accordingly. Green is
favorite at 10 to 7. The short end is in
demand at these figures, as Goff is con
sidered a likely man by those who saw
him perform with Franey recently.
Referee Hiram B. Cook may "not be
called upon to name the victor on points,
as the bout is not expected to go the limit."
Both men have trained for a bustling fight
and in the exchange either man may go
out quickly. * -,w,
Jeffords is a slight favorite over Jones
for the preliminary bout.
NEEL THE TENNIS KING.
Regains the Western Championship
by "Defeating Collins.
CHICAGO, July 19.— Western tennis
championship reverted to Carr B. Neel to
day, when he defeated Kreig Collins in
the championship round of the tourna
ment at the Kenwood Country Club. In a
closely contested match the champion of
1595 a"nd 1*96 regained his lost title and
came Into permanent possession of . the
Spaulding trophy cup. Collins, who has
held the cup two years, lost to Neel as
challenger to-day ln three straights
6—4. 6-3 and 6—3. " *: 7 '
Neel played a net game. This probably
will be the champion's last tournament
match, as he has his duties as mining en
gineer, which hereafter will require his
presence in the mining districts of Mexico.
