MURPHY THE WINNER.
A Rather Exciting Glove Contest OF
q Saturday Evening.

a AAitiuef EAclIll% Glove Contest on
2Saturday Evening.
There was large attendance at the
Comique Theater on Saturday evening to
see the glove contest between Jack Muir
ply of Australia and Billy Lee Of Seattle.
q Prior to the contest the spectators were
treated to splendid variety performance.
the feature of which was a wonderful
aquatic exhibition by Charles Beach, the
''man-fsh." The performer worked in a
large plate-glass tank filled with water.
His feats of endurance We're astonishing.
The glove contest was one of the most
exciting ever given under Mr.. Browns
management. Early in the evening it
was rumored that the fight had been
"nxed" between the contestants. the
understanding being that Murphy was to
go out" That there was some founda-
ton for this rumor was evidenced bv the
fact that several well-known Sports
offered to bet odds on Lee. But if it was
fixed" Murphy did not stand by his
agreement and by running out" as the
sporting fraternity would express it, he
furnished the spectators a lively enter
tainment.
Murphy was considerably smaller than
Lee, but he made up the difference by his
superior strength, science and quickness,
lie rushed his tall opponent ali over the
ring and gave him a severe drubbing in
every round. He was considerably
handicapped, however, by the referee.
who insisted upon breaking the men
apart whenever they INDUCED in fibbing.
Under the rules contestants are not in a
tclinch'' unless the arms are locked. As
long as one hand is free they must not be
ordered to break.
At the end of the sixth round Murphv
floored Lee and the latter was apparently
'out." Murphy's seconds claimed the
victory for their man. but the referee or
dered the men into the ring again. There
was great confusion for some time. dur-
ing which there were several speeches.
and the appearance of the police in the
ring.
Order was finally restored. however
and the men faced each other again
Murphy was evidently angry at not get
ting decision before, and rusned at Zee
viciously. He landed left aud right on
each of the big fellows jaws and lee
dropped to the floor. He refused to ret
up and the fight was given to Murphy.
amid loud cheers from the spectators
who were in sympathy with him.
Murphy Immediately challenged Haley.
the local champion feather weight, and
Haley accepted.

Fine Condition.

Popularity OF the Game on

come as popular in Sacramento as in

tain OF the team, and with the assistance
OF James II. Harrison is putting his team

sium. Mr.. Harrison is son of William
Greer Harrison, President of the Olvm-
pic Club Of San Francisco, and is an ex-
pert at the game. Mr.. Harrison has
been in the city for several days for the
express purpose Of coaching the Athletic
Club team, and he expresses himself as
greatly pleased with the rapid improve
ment the boys have made. They are ali
working hard and Will soon be able 10
cope with any of the crack teams of the
coast, which is the object they have in
view.
Mr.. Cole says that the first big game he
and his men will engage in will be with
the Oakland team on the 18th inst This
game will take place at Snowflake Park
and is being looked forward to by the
lovers OF the game with great interest.
The Sacramento team has also a match
arranged Tor February I'D with the stock
ton team at Stockton, and on March 4th

AGUILEg AGOAILANq.
Rodriguez Held to Answer for Assault
to Murder.
His Victim Relates the Particulars o1
the Assault-Rodrigue Excuse
Was That He Was Drunk.

The case of Pedro Rodriguez. charged
with assault to murder Antonio Aguiles
in Ross alley on the 18th of last Novem-
Der, was before the Police Court on Sat
urday for examination.
Aguiles was taken to the County Hos
pital after the aftray and was not able
until last Friday 10 come into town.
AguiIes testified that he roomed at
l4l5 Second street, in the house of one
Martinez. Rodriguez roomed there also.
For several days before the stabbing oc-
CURED Rodriguez had been drinking.
Witness stated that he had been working
on steamer all day and when he came
home at night he found Rodriguez in his
room. A small knife, which was very
sharp, had been left on a table in his
room by the witness. The knife was
produced in court and looked like one of
the sharp-pointed knives used by shoe
makers for shaving leather and was an
ugly-looking weapon.
Going INTO the room witness told Rod
riguez to get out, as he was drunk Rod
riguez said the witness had been talking
about him and he would fix him. He
then snatched the knife and stabbed

above the hip. Martinez came to his
assistance and Rodriguez was elected.
Martinez testified that he was there
when Aguiles came in. He saw Rodriguez
in the room, but being quite deaf he heard
nothing of what was said. His wife told
him the two men We're going to fight. and
he went in and separated them. Aguiles
told him he was cut, but the two men had
been fighting so short time that he did
not then believe it could be so. However.
he took the knife away from Rodriguez
and held him fast. Aguiles then tried to
strike the prisoner. Rodriguez was drunk
at the time.
Mrs. Merced Martinez testified that she
saw the men in the room, and hearing
the quarrel told her husband they were
going to fight. and then they both went
into the room; the men were clinched,
and Aguiles said he was stabbed. He
bled a great deal, and she got rags to
stanch the blood, and told him he had
better go the police station and let the
doctor take care of his wounds.
The defendant had nothing to say. He
said he was so drunk that he could tell
nothing about whas had occurred on that
evening.

so little English, Judge Buckley was

every opportunity to make defense. and
asked one of Rodriguez intimate friends
if he had made any statements TO him.
and being answered that he had not. he
then held him to answer, fixing his bail
at $500.
