movement to close the business houses
At p. ~, at the Courthouse. and at pres
ent the indications are that it will be a
largely y-attended atf;iir, and that much
will be accomplished.
That the movement has friends is ap-
parent from the contents of letters re-
ceived at this office daily. One received
yesterday reads as follows:
EDS. REcoRD-UNToN: IF you want the
blessing of every man, woman. and child in
THIS city, just urge on the gentlemen who have
begun this carly closing movement. We want
the movement successful but some of US dare
not act in the matter, as we work in stores
that keep open till s p. M. So do help us in
TINS matter, and let as many as can possibly
attend come TO the mass meeting to be held
next sunday at the Courthouse at 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon.

1t is well-known meteorological fact,
says Sergeant Barwick, that when stratus
clouds move from the northeast mount
aims toward the valley, light sprinllles OF
rain are invariably noticed. The present
sprinkle Is p. NJ. yesterday occurs with
an exceedingly high barometer-in fact.
higher than it has been any time this
season-which is an evidence that no set
tied storm of any magnitude can take
place unless there is rapid fall in the
barometrical condition OF the atmosphere
For that reason there viii, in all prob
ability, not be enough rain to be appre-
ciably measured in the Signal Service
ombrometer.
The temperature has risen all over Cen
trail and Northern California yesterday.

of this month, when the self-registering
thermometer recorded a maximum tenn

inches; the temperature at the same hours
was 39' and 520, the highest and lowest
being $50 and 360, as against AZ and 36o on
the same date last year.
The highest and lowest one wear ago to-

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
A City Lady Who Required Proof
Before Believing.

There recently appeared in the San Fran
cisco Call, Chronicle, and Examiner, a propo-
sition hitherto unheard of. It was an
advertisement in which the Edwin W. Joy
Company, in proof of the curative properties
Of joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, offered to
submit it to the terrific test of "no cure no
pay" Many accepted, and their experiences
are SO convincing as to be almost beyond
belief. Here is another. written under date
January 6, 1S30:-
: DEAR SIRs: 1 accepted your offer to test
the merits OF your vegetable remedy in sick
headaches. and called for bottle and got it.
l had been troubled for long time, and
mad tried nearly everything, with little or
no effect; but joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
acted almost like magic, and the first bottle
relieved me from one of the worst cases of
SICK headache one ever had.

The Much TaIked Of Johnson-McCore

Excitement in Amateur Circles Ovel
the Affair Dispute Between the
sacramento and Olympic Clubs.

Local amateur athletic circles were all
agog yesterday over the receipt of official
information from San Francisco to the
effect that the Olympic Club of that city
had at last given its consent for special
boxing match between Robert McCord,
the hitherto Pacific Coast middle-weight
champion, and William Johnson, of the
Sacramento Athletic Club, who defeated
McCord at the last coast tournament.
1t Will be remembered that after Nc
Cord was defeated, it was stated that he
had not trained for the contest, and was
not in condition to do himself or the
olympic Club (whose representative
he was) justice, in contest with
Johnson, who was. in magnificent
trim. This tournament was Johnson's
first experience in the roped arena
and naturally his friends and club
mates in this city were elated
when the news came that he had defeated
such an experienced veteran as McCord
who, by the way. had held the cham
pionship against all comers for several
years, and was believed to be invincible.
But johnson did not relish the statements
that the contest would have resulted
otherwise had McCord been in condition,
and publicly announced that h;e would
not claim any honors until McCord had
been given a chance to win back his lost
laurels.

JoHNsoN's COURSE APPROVED.

! The Sacramento Athletic Club approved
the stand johnson had taken, and offered
to put up a trophy for the two giadiators
to contest for in this city. But the
Olympic Club objected to this. and stub
bornly refused to grant McCord the per-
| mission he asked to come to Sacramento.
| When asked for an explanation, the
Olympic Club Directors tersely replied
that they didn't want to fight the tourna-
| ment over again." But at the same time
they soothed McCord by presenting him
with handsome medal for his loyalty to
the club in endeavoring to keep the
championship at home.
The friends OF both Johnson and Me-
Cord gave up all hope of arranging the
match.
OF late, however, it was rumored about
that II the Sacramento Club would permit
the match to take place at the Olympic
Club McCord would be permitted to meet
Johnson. This was just what the local
club would not agree to, as the members;
of the Olympic Club had already wit
messed one contest between the men, and
1T was the Sacramento Clubs turn now
That there was some foundation for. the
rumor became evident last Saturday
when Oscar Tolle, prominent member
OF the Olympic Club, came to this city
and sought conference with the officers
OF the local club regarding the match.
IT IS SETTLED.
Mr.. Tolle, of course. was looking out
for the interests of his club, but when the
local clubmen explained the situation to
him he agreed with them that the match
should take place in the rooms of the Sac
ramento Athletic Club, and he promised
to lay the matter in its proper light before
the directors Of his club. That he kept
his promise, and was successful in set
Ting the dispute, is apparent from the
following letter received from him yes
terday by one of the officers of the local
club:
SAN FRANCISCO, January -,1S91.
FRIEND ---: l appeared before the board
last night and advocated your club. Our
board. IN my presence, gave McCord perrnis-
sion to go to sacramento for the match if he

rectors furthermore will foster the idea and
claim of your club in having the match in
your club rooms. So far so good You will
receive notice to that effect. viii see McCord
soon and let you know what he says. Was
glad to see our board coincide with yours and
my views in the matter, and also willing to
give helping hand to your already prosper
Gus club. Yours, etc., o. A. ToLLE.
As McCord has at all times expressed
himself as ready and anxious for the
match, there is no reason to believe that
he will change his mind now The match
Will take place in about six weeks, and
will be witnessed only by members of
both clubs

with Glenalvin's team were thrown out of the
record.
The principal reason why the San Joses won
the pennant was that Finn personally saw his
men had good practice, aud ne is the only club
owner and manager who did so. This accounts
for the very bad playing by the other clubs.
The baseball public will not stand this, as with
out practice the players cannot put up good

reason, not, however, because their part of
the game was any more ungentlemanly
than the Sound kickers' part, but because
of the very slight resistance that the
I. A. A. rush line offered.
Tacopa's weak point lay in her center
and half-backs. Against the former
point the Portland heayyweights would
buck with increasing might, and
after an hour OF patient forti-
tude Tytler was forced TO retire
with badly bruised body. The half
backs failed signally to tackle, and their
interference was anything but timely.
Hacker stood the brunt of the attack in al
most every instance. He made some good
gains through center, but his rush line
could not hold the web-footed buckers,
and in trying to mash some wedges he re-
ceived injuries that compelled him to re-
tire. The ruling out of Phil Anderson
was rank injustice for at the time he
was called off the field he himself was the
one that was being slugged The
weakening of the left end was Sc
rious, and afterward the Portland
back could go around that point
with but little difficulty. They never tried
the CHIT end Kandall's rushes, Savage's
attacks and Brooks interferences went
long way toward Portland's victory.
Hacker and Goodwin easily led the play
ing on the Tacoma eleven.
The Tacoma team needs strengthening
on the line. At center one guard, and
the half-backs should be replaced with
cooler and weightier men. Portland can
asoribe her victory to her trained players
from Bishop Scott's academy, who have
been constantly in practice.
The decision to play the Portland team
