CORBETT SEEKS SECLUSION".
Leaves His Training Quarters to
Avoid the Sunday Throng.
With the object of escaping the ques
tions, advice and gaze of several hundred
persons who wended their way to his
training quarters at Croll's Gardens, Ala
meda, yesterday, James J. Corbett took
refuge in a secluded place, where his ad
mirers and others who wanted to "get a
line" on the big boxer could not discover
him. Of late Jim has been pestered with
sports of all degrees, from the piker to
the plunger, who are looking for inside
"dope" on the coming fistic champion
ship battle. Others there are who stand
ready at all times to inform Corbett of
the weaknesses of Jeffries and of the only
sure way of fighting the swarthy boiler
maker. These wiseacres have taken vari
ous courses in forwarding their advice to
Corbett. Some of them have written to
the actor-boxer, others have called him
up on the telephone, others have at
tracted his attention for a moment and
have then taken him asdde to whisper
tactics to the man who has won and lost
the championship and who is bent on re
gaining it again. Corbett and his coach
ers expected yesterday the rush to Croll's
Gardens would be extra heavy, as it was
the last Sunday before th© fight. Their
expectations were realized. During the
day hundreds of young men and old men,
and ladles also went to the ex-cham
pion's training quarters, and all asked,
"Where is Corbett?"* They were told that
Jim bad gone out somewhere and would
not be around for the day. Corbett took
to the roads for easy sprints, but man
aged to keep out of sight of the throng
that wanted to see him at his camp.
During the .afternoon Frankie Nell, who
fights Harry Forbes Thursday night and
who is preparing himself at Croll's Gar
dens, boxed three rounds with Danny Sul
livan. The boys went at it with vigor in
the two final rounds and Nell gave every
Indication that he was In condition to
withstand a hard battle.
LISBON Aug. 9. — A violent earthquake
shook Lisbon and vicinity at 10 o'clock to-night.
The duration of the ehock was two minutes. It
produced a great panic and some damage, but
no fatalities have been reported.
While the latter professes great respect
for the prowess and skill of Corbett and
has advised friends East not to try to
guess the number of rounds the fight will
last. Jeff himself evidently figures it will
be a sharp, short battle. As evidence of
the fact that the champion's pile-driver
blows leave their effect, no matter wh*re
they land. Jack Jeffries was dazed the
other morning by a straight left which
caught him. on the crown of the head
while he was ducking blows. The same
morning big Joe Kennedy had one of his
shoulders temporarily desabled by a left
swing. Jeff Is naturally a southpaw, and
when he swings that left on the point it
generally scores a "strike." It is then
usually a case of "set 'em up in the other
alley."
Joe (Kid) Eagan and Mrs. Delaney
left here by today's stage. All arrange
ments have been made for the champion's
departure for Oakland on Wednesday
next, as before stated in these columns.
F. E. MULHOLLAND.
The only care of Billy Delanev from
now on until the nlcht of the big con
test will be to watch Jeff and see that no
accident befalls the chamDion. The big
fellow is the most unconcerned man here
and would just as soon crack walnuts on
a can of nitro-glycerine or do a sand shuf
fle in one of the powder magazines at
Vallejo so oblivious is he to fear. These
careless traits of Jeff are causing- deep
furrows to form in Jthe otherwise placid
features of Delaney. ..
HARBIN SPRINGS, Aug. 9,-Friday
was practically another day of inactiv
ity in the Jeffries camp. For that matter
the champion will indulge in no mere hard
work. He is satisfied with his condition
and so is Manager Billy Delanev.
Jeff logged down to Mlddletown and
back on Friday morning, after which he
simply killed time until evening. Then
he comprised one of a party of sixteen
that sat down to an impromptu banquet
arranged by John Marcovich, a close
friiand and heavy backer of Jeffries, to
celebrate the eighth wedding anniversary
of the former's marriage.
It came near being a stag party, for
besides Mrs. Marcovich, Mrs. Delaneyv
wife of Billy Delaney, was the only other
lady present. For this mountainous
region the menu reflected much credit on
the spring's chef, and the table finishers
quartet, Messrs. Mike Hallaban. Joe
Kennedy, Joe (Kid) Eagan and Jack Jef
fries, did' ample justice to the repast. Jim
Jeffries acted as master of ceremonies,
assisted by Proprietor Jim Hayes. Judge"
Qulnn of Emeryville, although a bachelor,
In a cleverly worded speech spoke know
ingly of the ecstatic bliss of wedded life,
and finally all tipped glasses to the toast,
"Long life and happiness to the host and
hostess." "Kid" Eagan gave Imitations of
Bobby Gaylor. and Joe Kennedy made a
hit by shouldering a broom and going
through the manual of arms as Interpreted
by Michael Joseph Conboy. Billy Delano
rendered a Scotch ballad with feeling and
sympathy; Mike Hallahan joined with a
smart talk on "Internal Disturbances of
the Stomach and their Causes" and Billy
Lyons closed with an original poem, "My
Wild Ride to Reno."

The latter beat him by a score of 3 to 0.
He fell as if shot and Judge Grace was
thrown under him. not having time to
make a move to save himself. Neither
horse nor man moved a muscle and the
horrified SDectators thought both had
been killed. A number of men, ran to the
assistance of Judge Grace and had to lift
the horse off his body. He was at once
removed to his home, whefe Dr. i^eonard
found he had broken his collar bone and
had the ribs crushed on his left side. It
will be three days before the full extent
of his injuries can be determined.
Judge Grace has judged fully 100,000
courses, covering a period of thirty years.
In all this desperate riding over all kinds
of Held!;, he has been injured but twice.
Each time it was by his favorite horse
which he has ridden during the past four
years.

Wheeler, at this Juncture, landed flush
on the solar plexus of a slow curve and
nway it soared to center field, with Cor
bett and Toman on a mad chase to the
plate, where they both arrived in safety.
Then Smith tried the chop Btunt to
Francks. Buck fumbled ence more and
Hoy came in during the uproar and the
mixup which followed this second error.
The score:
Los Angele* — f Oakland —
In the third fpasm, a run came home
for the visitors. Spies was passed and
Crbett let loose a double to left field.
Hoy hit to Baxter, who fumbled the ball,
allowing Spies to register. Smith shoved
a slow one past Messerly and Corbett
landed. During the next round. Cravath
found Cooper for a solid double to right
and Tomaa resnonded with a sinde to
Fhort center field. Toman started to steal
and Peter Lnhman threw badly to second,
so Cravath had little trouble in reaching
lhr> P9S3.
The Anpels came through with the real
hig- pet-away in the seventh spasm. Cra
vath was passed and Toman again fol
lowed with TjIs little hit to center. Spies
was retired easily, but Corbett got four
balls and the bags could hold no more.
Hoy chopped in the direction of short and
FYaneks booted the ball. Cravath scoring.
Cooper was not h'.mself apparently. The
Angels managed to get to him in bunches
of a few at a time, and just at the right
time generally. Then he issued a pass
occasionally, and several of the?e result
ed in runs. Cooper's pitching was great
when compared with the support accord-
M him. Errors always happened when
men were on the sacks and let in most
of the runs.
Brother Joe allowed the Cripples five
scattered hits. In no inning did he let
them bunch more than one at a time 6a ve
in the fifth.. Then they squeezed two in
on him, but they counted no more than
1f not a one was scored. walked a
pair of Cripples in the opening round,
hut after that refused to be worked by
any mere batters.
Joe Corbett is the man who was always
in the way and ready to block the pro
jrress of the Cripples in their vain at
tempts to reach the rubber in the after
neon game. He had a good day and
pitched ball that would -have won glory
for him upon any ball field in the coun
try. He received support that could not
heve been made to order and fitted the
occasion as well.
The Angels performed well In both bat
tles—so well that the Cripples scored but
a paltry run in a total of eighteen full
innings of play. The hitting for the day
was lipht. but the fielding of the Angels
•was bright enough to offset the den
cie-r.cy.
Morley'a collection of Angels performed
their last week's work well at Recreation
l'ark. and with light hearts they will
have for Sacramento to-day. They de-
Jrated the Cripples twice yesterday and
gave them a beating which left little con
eolation for the vanquished. At Oakland
the score happened 5 to 1. The afternoon
result "was even more liu ml lla ting— 7 to 0.

STANDING OF TUB CLUBS,
Xo one takes seriously the story that
George Smith (Plttsburg Phil) will leave
the turf. Instead of quitting it is known
that he is attempting to have his rights
As. an owner of thoroughbreds restored to
him. There will be a meeting of the stew
ards of the Jockey Club this week, at
which Smith's application for reinstate
ment will be considered. The stories of
his sensational winnings yesterday on
Hermis and Aristrocracy were in no way
exaggerated. The lowest estimate of the
amount of his winnings on Aristrocracy
placed the sum at $40,000. "Phil" himself
merely says that he won his largest
wager of the last five years.
The disqualification of Hermis yesterday
after he had scored a hollow victory in
the first race and the giving of 'the purse
to Major Dalngerflcld has caused much
comment. It was believed that Million
aire Thomas' long string of hard luck had
at last broken, and this new misfortune
was regretted by turfgoers generally, who
want to see the enthusiastic young turf
man succeed. However, the stewards say
no other course was left open to them, as
the horse was entered In the name of the
new partnership of Thomas & Shields,
when that firm had not yet been officially
registered. The disqualification' of Her
mis did not affect his backers, as bets
were paid on the result of the race as it
was run and as announced in the ring.
The action of the stewards was not made
public until late last night.
It is reported that Chuctanunda is hope
lessly broken down, and the famous
sprinter probably has been seen in the
bands of the starter for the last time.
SARATOGA, N. Y.. Aug. 9.-Captain S.
S. Brown said to-night that he would
match his colt Broomstick against J. E.
Madden's Aristocracy, the winner of the
Saratoga Special, and would wager $10,000
to JSOOO on his colt. Inasmuch as W. C.
Whitney has always encouraged special
races this is considered a splendid chance
to bring about a renewal of the big race
of yesterday, the only objection being the
state of the track at present.
It is said that an effort will be made to
obtain permission to bridge Union avenue
and build a straightaway racetrack, so
that races of the value and importance of
tbe Saratoga Special and other rich stakes
for two-year-olds may be run without
danger of interference.
In eplte of the weather.ewhich has made
the Saratoga track one of the worst ever
known, the present meeting is having
phenomenal success, and the play in the
betting ring is becoming remarkable for
Its recklessness. Official announcement
has been made that on the opening day
(last Monday) the J|»ceipts of the Sara
toga Racing Association were larger by
almost $4000 than they were on the open-
Ing day a year ago. Then on Wednesday,
in spite of the rain, the receipts exceeded
those of the third day of last year, which
was bright and pleasant, by more than
rsOO. Yesterday's attendance was a rec
ord breaker.
