TACOMA; June 17. — Jupiter Plu vius butted in and stopped the game after the visitors had their inning in the sixth. Although short, the game was full of excitement and Umpire O'Connell handed out fines of $5 to Hilderbrand and Knell, besides chas ir.g them off the lot. The trouble tame in the fifth, after Doyle hit to left field. He stretched it to a double, but probably would have been out had Reitz touched him. The decision was close and the San Francisco men made a bis fuss- Before the row ended O'Connell held the watch on the visitors and dis ciplined them. Thomas was effective and pulled himself out of a tight hole in the fourth after Waldron doubled and Irwin singled. The visitors' tally came on Miller's single and Egan's error. Irwin's error and Casey's sin gle scored Egran in the second and Eheehan's double and Egan's single brought the former home with the winning tally. Score: Saa Frsnci»co — I Tacoma — AB. R. H. P.A.

June 17.— Seattle went down to defeat this afternoon in a windstorm, a cjoud of dust and a rainstorm. The weather seemed to be to the liking of Los Angeles. The- men from the south simply ran away from the Siwashes. giving them a little consolation toward the end of the came. Big Warren Hall had everything in the line of good pitching, and as long as there was a ghest of a chance for Seattle to get into the running he kept Going. . After a while he took things easier, the ball became wet and Seattle man aged to cnop out a few hits. Six out of Heattle's eleven hits did not count for cnythlnjr. On the other hand only three of those gathered by the cham pions were wasted. Williams put the ball over the plate us biff as a balloon, and every man on the Los Angeles team, excepting Flood tnd Hall, made from one to three hlta. £mtt!c-— , Lo» Anpele* — ab. n. h. p.a. ab. n. u. p.a.

For the first time in the history of the race a d«termined at tempt will be made, it is said, to pro hibit betting. Mayor Harrison issued an order to the police several days ago that no betting is to be permitted at Washington Park this vear, and to morrow 300 policemen will be at the track, it is planned, to see the order is enforced. Officers of the track have promised to enforce the law, and indi cations to-night are the Derby will be decided without the excitement of open betting. Out of 119 horses originally named sixteen are carded to start. In point of number this falls three short of the field last year. What the race lacks in number this year it more than makes up in class. Experts figure six as on more even terms than in any previous race. These are English Lad, Moharib, Highball. Fort Hunter, Rapid Water and Bill Curtis. The big powwow will be held at Har bin Springs to-day when James W. Coffroth, representing the Yosemlte Club, and Harry Pollock. Jack Mun roe's representative, will meet the mighty Jeffries. Dr. Devening will be an Important figure at the conference. Apparently all parties at Interest are anxious to have the fight take place on the 30th inst.. if it is possible for Jef fries to appear In the ring. The cham pion will suffer somewhat in prestige If it is found necessary to declare the fight off. The club will lose the large amount It has expended for advertis ing. Munroe will come out of it best of all. He will lose the amount of his training expenses, but the advertising he has received has made him a much sought after attraction and he will soon be reimbursed, for. the time he has spent on this coast. There was but little improvement yesterday In Jeffries' condition. Dr. Devening changed the treatment, ap plying Iodine and glycerine to the in jured knee. This was done twice dur ing the day. A boil developed yester day on the leg above the knee and was taken as a good sign by the "first aid to the injured" brigade headed by the chief nurse Kid Eagan. Jeffries has been eating sparingly since he has been confined to bis bed and has taken on but little flesh. Kid Fagan expressed the opinion yester day that a few days' exercise would fit Jeffries for the ring if his knee would permit him to move around. There is a feeling about Jack Mun roe's training quarters that the fight will not take place. Every one about the establishment. Including the miner himself, seems to be of the same opin ion. Instead of going through his usual stunts yesterday Jack loafed all day and did not do a stroke of work, al though there was a big crowd on hand to see him perform. "While no one in the camp has any authority to speak on the subject still each and every one of the miner's re tainers feels confident the battle of the year will not take place. Tim Me- Grath has about given up hope and Andy Gallagher says there is no chance and that the big fellow knows It as well as does any one else. Manager Harry Pollock has not ex pressed himself as to the probability of the fight's coming off. No one knows whether he and Munroe have had a talk about the matter, but it Is likely they have postponed such a discussion until Pollock's return from the camp of the champion. Munroe's trainers announce that the miner will resume work to-day and keep on till It Is of ficially settled whether or not the mill Is to be held. Special Dispatch to The Call. HAMBURG, June 17.— M. Thery in a RIchard-Brasier won the James Gor don Bennett international automobile cup in a magnificent race. In doing so he has gained a double victory, for he demonstrated both his qualities as driver and the perfection to which the automobile industry has been brought fn France. Rarely has so much tense suspense been crowded into ten hours. At the end of the first round M. Thery was thirty-one seconds behind M. Jenatzy, the "Re dDevil." as Hamburg has learned to call the winner of last year's race for the cup. At the second passage of the two re doubtable antagonists before the grand stand M. Thery was one minute and forty seconds ahead, tearing along the closely guarded road at a speed that thrashed the spectators Into excitement. The champion of France and the champion of Germany contested every kilometer with bitter determination and reckless audacity. As they swept past the third time M. Thery was leading by nine minutes and thirty-five seconds. The people did not know the exact'fig ure. All they realized was that M. Thery was widening the gap separating him from his relentless pursuer, and that was enough to bring forth deafen ing cheers, that drowned even the thunder of the passing machines. "Bravo, Thery." . "Vive la France," and a wild tumult of delight, confidence and pride showed there was enough of a mighty-lunged French contingent present, or that the spectators were mainly Francophile. Never did a couple of hours seem so long. Partisans of both men strolled restlessly about, looked at their watches every minute, tried to chat and showed by their indifference to what was said that their thoughts were riveted upon some other subject. They were think ing of one or other of the two men flying around the racecourse, the win ning of which meant peril to life and limb. - V>V At last the trumpet call announced the racers were coming. The suspense at this moment was maddening. M. Jenatzy was about due. "Was it M. Jenatzy whose approach was signaled or had some mishap delayed him? The warning trumpet call was for M. Jenatzy. His arrival was gre'eted with cheers, in which, however, some anxiety was discerned. M. Thery had started twenty-eight minutes after M. Jenatzy and at the end of the last circuit but one he was leading by more .than nine minutes. If he passed the line inside of nineteen minutes he had won the cup. If he passed twenty minutes later than his competitor. M. Jenatzy retained the coveted trophy. Then began the real period of anx iety for M. Thery's well wishers. The Emperor had returned at about half past four to witness' the finish, but even interest in his movements failed io make the time pass quickly. Ten minutes, eleven, were ticked off. Have they been delayed by any cause? Sud denly the trumpets blare forth. There is a quiver of excitement that swells into a shout and develops into a crash- Ing roar of triumph. M. Thery had won the cup. As he flew across the finishing line, like a bomb skimming the earth, the grandstands on both sides of the road were a mass of waving handkerchiefs. The Emperor took off his cap and waved it in the air. As for the French visitors, their enthusiasm was deliri ous. If M. Thery had won back Alsace and Lorraine he could not have received a more tempestuous ovation. No accident of consequence was re ported throughout the race.

The race was run on the main track. Reliable had been assigned 138 pounds, but aNpenalty of five pounds for win ning after the weights were announced brought his impost up to 143 pounds, and his owner wisely, scratched him. This left Hurst Park the top weight of those down to start, but wise heads did not think any too well of his chances when they recalled the fact that at Morris Park he was slow to begin. He ran well enough, however, to prove he will do to back in a smaller field. < SHEEPSHEAD BAY, June 17.— Close finishes kept the Judges as well as the public on the alert to-day at the grounds of the Coney Island Jockey Club.
