Lyons Wins a Close
Handball Match
Interesting Games Are Played in
the Tournament of the
Olympic Club
Some interesting matches in Eingles
were played last night in the handball
tournament of the Olympic club. The
play has been us | lly good from the
start and a number pf promising play
ers are being developed. Among those
who have distinguished themselves are
Reardon Lyons, B. Moulder and W. A.
Maguire. They are possessed -of
marked class and much is expected of
them in future tournaments.
Lyons \u25a0won an exciting match from
Louis Levy last night by a score of
51 to 47. Lyons held a safe lead
throughout, but his opponent was try
ing all the time. Frank Foran over
came a lead held by C. J. Wilgus and
won ultimately by a score of 51 to 46.
Both of these matches were in the first
class. v
In the second class James Foley beat
Fred Fowler easily, 51 to 28.
The final match for the double cham
pionship will be played tonight and is
expected to attract a large attendance
at the club courts. The opposing teams
will be made up of George James and
W. A. Maguire and James White and
Joseph Condon. It is possible that
there will be some games In singles.
The first round of singles will be
completed tomorrow night and the sec
ond round will be commenced on Fri
day. In this the winners In the first
round will be pitted against winners
and the losers against losers. The loss
of two games retires a player from the
tournament.

jail. The city will pay $22,018.50 for
property owned by G. M. Perrine and
$9,468.50 for the holdings of, R. M.

G. TV. "U'hitson, sales agent 'for the
Colorado fuf-1 and iron company, of
Portland, who was arrested last week
for defrauding an inn keeper on com
plaint of the manager of the St. Fran
cis hotel, had his case dismissed by
Police Judge Conlan yesterday. He
showed the judge a receipt for his bill
at the Su Francis. He had received a
draft frora his relatives in Portland.
"REPAIR STREETS,"
MERCHANTS' SLOGAN
Supervisors and Corporation
Representatives Banqueted
and Asked to Aid in Work
"Resojved. that a communication be
sent by the Merchant's association to
th«» board of public works, urging that
greater speed be shown in the repair
of streets and that property owners in
the downtown district be compelled to
put sidewalks in proper condition."
The above resolution was the only
tangible result of a banquet given last
night in the white and gold room of the
St. Francis by the directors of the Mer
chants' association to the newly elected
hoard of supervisors and the heads of
the public service corporations in this
city. It was an informal affair, having
for its purpose the. discussion of the
most necessary Improvements ' during
the coming year, particularly street
improvements..
The discussion was free, but if it
•was expected that cast iron promises
on the part of the United Railroads and
other corporations represented for the
betterment of conditions would be \
forthcoming those cherishing the hope
of definite assurances were (loom.cd to
disappointment. It was a love feast
at which the soft, effulgent light of
candles was shed, and the sweet per- |
fume of flowers was breathed upon
Tbornwell- Mullally and John A. Brit
ton while they told of the miracles per
formed by the United Railroads and the
gas company under difficulties that put
the tasks of Hercules in the infant
class. As for promises — such as were
made were veiled in the language of
diplomacy, wafted softly as the strains
of Schubert's serenade that floated into
the banquet room from a distant
orchestra.
The deplorable condition of streets
and. sidewalks, and the laggard tactics
of the city in encompassing the needed
repairs were eet forth by F. J. Symraes
of the Merchants' association, who pre
sided at the banquet. He said:
The time ha« rone by wben neglect of the
•treats and sidi walks can b* Justified by any
excuse. There is no reason why our thorough
fare* sbonld not be in good order. It is the
dutr of this association to take up the matter
wita the supervisors and the public service cor
porations and demand . Immediate ' action. Our
mala avenues of approach, from the ferry and
from tie foot of Third street, at least, should
be Immediately repaired. Let bs have a block
cleaned at a time. If necessary, and then let
tj»e street department put on an extra force
of men to keep them cleas.
We must have the support and co-operation of
the supervisors 'and the board of . public works.
The latter hitherto has done the best It could,
but the task has been too great.
Symmes then appealed , to the j public
service corporations to attend properly
to the repaying of streets which have
been torn up for the laying of tracks
and conduits. He next dwelt :upbn the
necessity of an ordinance compelling
the use of broader tires on heavy
trucks that now are destroying pave
ments .as fast as they are laid. He
also spoke of the present inadequate
streetcar service:
"The fleet will soon be here." he
eaid. "We shall be called upon to en
tert&ln 24,000 officers and men, to. say
nothing . of the ' thousands who," will be
attracted to our city, by this event.
Transportation is an Important factor
tn this connection.'"
Symmes then - called upon Thornwell
Middle Weights Name Twenty-five
Rounds as Distance of Fight
R. A. Smyth
Mike (Twin) Sullivan and Joe O'Con
nor, the representative of Stanley
Ketchel. lost no time yesterday in sign
ing articles for a meeting between the
rival middle weights on the afternoon
of Washington's birthday. The terms
virtually had been agreed upon at a
meeting the previous day, so all that
was necessary was to make them of
record. i
The fight is scheduled to go 25
rounds at Coffroth's Mission street
arena and the boxers are to be ready
to fight at 2:15 o'clock. The weight
was fixed at 154 pounds, four hours be
fore the time set for the men to enter
the ring. The. weight is to be made at
Corbett's, on Ellis street. The men are
to post forfeits of $1,000 each before
the last day of this month to guarantee
their presence in the ring at the ap
pointed hour and at the specified
weight.
Billy Roche was selected to be ref
eree. \u25a0 . ;
The articles require the men to weigh
in at all reasonable times in the pres
ence of Coffroth, as a safeguard against
their being above weight on 'the morn
ing of the fight Ketchel will have an
advantage of several pounds' weight
over Sullivan. The later expects to
weigh from 150 to 152 pounds on the
morning of the contest. Ketchel prob
ably will press the weight limit closely,
as he has been growing heavier re
cently.
Sullivan makes no secret of the fact
that he expects to win from Ketchel
by the knockout route. He believes
that he can outbox Ketchel and expects
to develop a good right hand punch.
He has been developing this for Some
time and hopes to use it effectively the
next time he starts.
The only detail left undecided yes
terday was the manner in which the
fighters' share^ of the receipts shall be
divided. They are to take 50 per cent
of the gross receipts. Sullivan sug
gested that this be divided 60 per cent
to the winner and 40 per cent to the
loser, but O'Connor asked that this de
tail be left until Ketchel reaches here,
when he can decide for himself how
he wishes the money divided.
Sullivan will train at Shannon's,
while Ketchel will again establish
himself in quarters at Millett's near
Colma.
Tim McGrath was an interested
spectator at the signing of the articles.
He solemnly warned O'Connor to keep
a close watch on. Sullivan's corner dur
ing the fight.
"These are cute boys," said Tim,
"and you can't be up to all their
tricks. If Mike should show signs of
tiring during the fight tuey might sub
stitute Jack and send him in fresh
against your man."
O'Connor joined in the laugh which
followed "and said he would follow
Tim's advice.
Coff roth has restored the match be-
Mullally to tell what the United Rail
roads would do in the matter of street
repair and better . service. Mullally
said in part:
I want to make two etatements, and I want
you to believe them, for it will put you in a
better frame of mind toward the corporations
when considering matters that affect the clty'6
interest. Tbe Jlrst is. that corporations such
as the United Railroads put the interest* of
tte city above the lr own. The second is, that
the interests of the city and of the corporation
are Identical, and that In working for our own
good we must «f necessity consider that of the
muncipality.
PLEADS HEAVY EXPENDITURES
Mullally then '. declared that the
United Railroads, sine* the fire, has
spent $5,000,000 in reconstruction of
tracks and streets, $2,025,000 for new
cars, and $175,000 for the improve
ment of plant and shops. , All this, he
declared, had been for the benefit of
the city. He asserted that the paving
done by the company far exceeds in
quality of workmanship that done by
the city. He explained the poor car
service on Fourth street by .'blaming
the city for not paving it, declaring
that the use of the track by teams and
automobiles made the operation of cars
impossible. He pictured difficulty after
difficulty under which, he declared, the
company . labors, and ended in an ap
peal Co the community to work with
and not against the corporation, prom
ising that with increased power short
ly to be had the company would soon
have 600 cars in operation.
Mullally, was followed by Charles N.
Black, general manager of the -United
Railroads. Asked to explain what the
corporation would do with reference to
lighting Market and Sutter streets,
Black laid the blame for delay .upon
\u2666he supervisors, who, he said," had im
pos."?d onerous conditions upon the
United Railroads and had made .the
letting ot the contract for poles.im
possible. He declared that if an or
dinance in proper shape were passed
the company would .be able :to place
the poles in from 90 to 120 days.
, Like Mullally, -Black promised bet
ter transportation facilities . than ever
before. He , followed this promise ': by
declaring that unless the permit for
the fourth track • on Market street is
made permanent the Sutter street cars
will run only as far as Market ; street
and the'old horse car line be resumed to
the ferry.
John A. Brlttton, for the San Fran
cisco gas and electric light, company,*
eang the praises of , that corporation, 1
dwelt upon the marvels It accomplished
at'the time of the great disaster and
promised efficient service for Hhe fu
ture. Mark Gerstle, for the Home tele^
phone "company, related at length what
his company had done and " declared
that its work ,' of repaying : was being
satisfactorily accomplished.
PAYSOX IS PESSIMISTIC
- It remained for Captain A. H. Payiori
of the Spring Valley water^company to
inject a strain of pessimism into; the
hitherto optimistic gathering. . Payson,
called upon to tell .what Spring j Valley
would do for the betterment of the city/
declared he could not speak -hopefully
for the future. He dwelt upon the'pre
carious financial- condition: of the cor
poration, "sang the ", full gamut of -Its
tale of woe and repeated '; that Jts only
salvation lay inthe ceasing of; the liti
gation . now pending against 7lt He
urged the : acquisition of the ; plant^by
the city and . the reaching., of an . agree

Match A Maker Eddie Smith of the Re
liance club, Oakland, has used all his
persuasive powers in. an effort to bring
Abe Attell and Eddie Kelly together in
a six round bout. , Attell is quoted as
saying: "Give Kelly to. some one else."
He has shown a wholesome respect for
the Buffalo boy in the, paßt and does
not seem inclined to enter the ring with
him. Attell wants; to ; meet Frankie
I%il before the Oakland club, but the
route is too short for Neil, who refuses
to meet Attell except In a 20 round
bout. Kelly will agree' to any division
of the money if Attell will meet him
and he will agree to make! 120 pounds.
Attell has made considerable money re
cently and is not anxious to enter the
ring unless he can be shown good* in
ducements. If the book makers take
some of his money '-from',' him'.- he .-prob'-,
ably will be found more tractable- by
the match makers.
Advices from Los Angeles are to the
effect that Joe ; Thomas .has filled out
until he weighs 170 pounds. He is
training hard for his meeting next
Tuesday with Jack Sullivan. Twin
Mike will go south to second- his
brother. Coff roth will be In the south
at the same time, and plans to witness
the bout O'Connor, Ketchel's . man
ager, will be at the ringside. Tim Mc-
Grath will be present and will chal
lenge the winner on behalf of Jim
Flynn. "
Luke Mariseh, who has applied for
the January fight permit, filed articles
of incorporation yesterday for his
club, which will be known as .the Pa

the youth, who then, turned • the re
volver on himself, sending a bullet into
his brain. Fairbanks died a few hours
later. The girl is in ; a ; serious condi

of one of ; its most prosperous years is
the opinion of Faurote. . He says that
in his .five years' experience he has
never seen a season which has opened
with a brighter prospect for the sale
of standard cars, and the supply of the
better class of cars will be far smaller
than the demand. .

At the annual meeting of the board
of managers of the Association of Li
censed Automobile Manufacturers the
resignation of Charles A. "Wardle,
which had been in hand for some time,
was accepted. "Wardle is one of the
best known men in the Industry and
has been actively identified" with . the
association since it was organized. He
is well known on the coast.
\u25a0 C. A. Eastman, wholesale manager of
the "White company. Is expected here
on, Thursday on his way to the north
west, where he plans to remain about
two months. Eastman will tour In a
big straightline body 1903 White, and
will visit the White company agencies
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana and British Columbia.
In the two days* endurance run last
week under the auspices of the Phila
delphia motor - club, in which 48 cars
were entered," only four finished with
perfect scores. In the touring car class,
in which the Studebaker "30" Model H
was entered, the Studebaker was one
of the three cars to be credited. with a
perfect score after a critical examina
tion by the technical committee. There
were 28 entrants. In order to decide to
which; of the three cars, the Stude
baker, the Peerless or the White, the
trophy should go, it was determined by
the officials to send all three over the
course once more; and they all started
around the circuit a second time. In
stead of having two days to make the
trip,, the run to Allen town and return
was .made continuous, and although
most of the run was made in a snow
storm, all returned to Philadelphia
with clean ; scores.. As in all the other
contests in which the Studebaker f cars
have been entered during the last year,
the car which competed so successfully
in this run was a stock model.
PROMINENT MINING
STOCKS ADVANCE
Make Substantial Gains Despite
News of Withdrawal of
U. S. Troops
Stocks again showed unexpected
strength yesterday on the mining ex
change, . and leaders registered sub
stantial gains on r the day's trading. 1
The market was supported strongly
despit* the announcement that troops
•were to be withdrawn from Goldfleld
and that the legislature In session in
Carson was not; in full sympathy with
Governor Sparks. v Buying, was largely
for eastern account. The large amount
of purchases on behalf of interests In
New York," Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Boston has revived the report that
Wingfleld and Nixon have lost control
of Goldfleld Consolidated. Private wire
messages- from New , York, contained
the statement that a report was cur
rent in the metropolis that William H
Crocker and New York banking and
smelting interests had acquired control
of the property. This report was de
nied by local brokers. It was ex
plained that a large amount of buying
had been, noticed in the market for
New York , account. * but it was stated
that the ; transfers had not been of
sufficient size /to threaten control of
Wingfleld and >uxon. It was stated
by _. San Francisco brokers that while
in the east r W. H. . Crocker had done
what .: other \u25a0/ Calif ornians have done
there-r-pointed out I the unusual oppor
tunities . offered .for Investment by
leading Nevada; mining stocks at their
present ' low ' levels.
• ; "I , say, and most emphatically, that
there ;is ; no truth" in ; the report that
Wingfleld 'and ; Nixon have lost control
of ' the t merger," said i Senator William
C. Ralston, , who deals extensively in
Consolidated for eastern \u0084 account.
"There is"* no reason why; they should
sell. ". They i are not compelled to, . and
naturally :they would, not offer their
stocktin tfee present state of the mar
ket uriles3 r they , were compelled to.
This extensive buying has been simply
for .-> eastern : interests which have
learned that Nevada \ mining ' stocks at
present, low prices ": are first class In
veßtments.'iSSSßß
.Consolidated was active yesterday at
higher; prices. The stock opened at $5,
