Trilbys Again Defeated by the Francis Will
son Team
There was a rattling game OF ball at the
park yesterday. For the second time the
Francis Wilson's and the Tr,lhys came to-
gether, and for the second time the Will
sons cams out of the sorimmage winners.
Five hundred people paid % cents at the
gate to see the fun and they got the
worth of their money. 1t was the best
played amateur game ever seen in the
city. Sharp hitting, quick fielding and
lightning base running were the order OF
things all through the game. Strictly
speaking it was pitchers battle. Han d.
some Willie Tyler was in fine form, and
the colored swatters only connected with
him safely seven times. With Shaw it
was different; the Wilson's solved the
problems of his curves and got thirteen
nice clean hits. All through the game
the Wilson's demonstrated their superiori-
ty in fielding. Hart, the favorite Of last
season, played his first game since his
ankle was broken last Decoration day, and
put up an elegant game at center. kutz,
the Wilson's new backstop, caught a good
game. For the Irilbys, Anderson and
Nettles carried off the fielding honors
After the first game the Brunswicks and
Ttllbys played five innings. the former

THE WHEELMEN
The Riverside rleeting Not Up to the Stand.
ard-Coming Events

uFu-SomiHk ENentS
The much advertised Riverside meet
that took place on last Monday was hard
ly up to the expectations of the promot-
ers. The time was not fast and the fin
ishes wero not of that sensational order
SO beloved of the bicycle enthusiast.
Moreover, the absence of the northern
cracks made the sport rather tame, in
asmuch as the populace get rather tired
OF seeing the same men compete in the
same events time after time aud m eet
after meet. 1t is rather strange that
Southern California does not produce
more racing men. The same mon that
were racing two years ago are still on the
path and they continue to monopolIze the
events that are of any importance. With
the climate that one enjoys there is no
reason why this section should no turn
out the fastest racing men In the country
and the greatest number of them. No
doubt the absence of the proper
trainers has great deal to do with it,
and in the hands OF a careful trainer there
are many young riders who would come
to the front who now disappear after
their first race for lack of proper hand
ling. To rub man down well is not the
chief end OF the clever trainer but rather
bne last thlng that he Will give his close
attention to. Diet and systematic exer-
else are of tar greater Importance than
the mere rubbing of the muscles. and ex-
eIclse should be of the accurately timed
and accurately paced kind. More young
riders are injured by exercise Improperly
taken in well-meant but INSTRUCTED
efforts to knock some track record to
smlthereens than were ever hurt by the
want OF rub down.
The bicycle races at San Bernardlno
and santa Ana will no doubt be of the
phenomenal order. The writer has seen
the new track of the latter place and the
banking is sucn that with proper surfac-
ing there should be no limit to the time
that will be made. There is one fault in
the construction of the track and that is
on the stretches.
me banking has been brought down
so FAR into the stretches that there is no
ieyei piece on the track and there is a
fall from side TO side on the two stretches
that must be fully equal to ten per
cent grace, This is rather hard on the
riders when they are on ths sprint as the
tendency OF the wheel is all inward and
the pull ON the handle bars is necessarily

PUGILISM
Speculation on the Coming corbett-Fitz-
simmons Mill

Peter Maher, the Irish champion who
was put to sleep by lanky Bob Fitzsim-
mons, has recently blossomed forth in
print and has been building rosy castl es
in the air anent his visionary holding OF
the championship. Mr.. Maher is a trife
premature. He has never shown himself
to beaother than a tighter, and in the ring
today man must be master of the art
OF boxing and a brainy ring tactioian to
be able to compete on an equal with the
giants of the modern przefight. Maher
has never SHOWN any ability in his direc.
ton and the only element of chance in
the coming combat between him and
Steve O'Donnsll at Dallas will be oondi-
ton and staying power. 1t has always
seemed strange to the writer that such a
clever man as Steve o. Donnel. should
waste his time on such men as Maher.
Tho fact that Maher is u heavyweight ami
O'Donnell is middlewsight will lend
fictitious interest ITO the combat that it
would not otherwise possess, but Mr.. Ma.
hers chances seemd to fade away and
grow beautifully less when one takes into
account the clevernes of his opponent
and his own lack of knowledge In that
aspect.
Can Corbett hit hard enough to do the
lanky Bob any damage while the aforc-
said Robert is getting in his deadly wors
on him? The question IS agitating MANY
sporting men who have always claimed
that Corhett is not Knockout fighter.
and in fact that he cannot hit hard
enough to put man to slsep. There is
no doubt OF the ability OF Fitzsimmons to
hit hard, and it is claimed that he can
hit the hardest blow of any man in the
ring today. The cleverness of the men is
about equal and the stiffness of Corbett
is quite offset by the speed of Fitzsim-
mons. With every thing equal appar-
emily. except weight. there is yet little
doubt but that the odds will all be in
favor of Uorbett
Tho coming contest between Began and
Frazier al the Angel City Athletic club
is attracting considerable attention. The
men are both training hard and a good
contest is expected. They will weigh in
at the club rooms on the afternoon of
the fight. which takes place on Septem-
Der 26th.. The mem bership of this club is
constantly increasing, and they promise
that IT they are not disturbed they will
show some good contests in the near flu
ture.

Aside from some little activity among
the local wheelmen preparing for the
coming meets at San sBernardino and
Santa Ana. nothing was doing in the field
of sports last week. The wheelmen's
meet at Riverside was something of dis
appointment, but it is believed that the
coming meetings Will be fully up to the
high standard required by Southern Cali
fornia racing men.
The tame conclusion of the interna,
tional yacht race is a matter of universal
regret. While the superiority of the De-
fender is conceded even by the English
men themselves, the action of Lord Dun
raven in acting like sulky boy and re-
fusing to make the concluding race in
good faith is to be deplored, and it has
added nothing to the noble lords repu-
tation as sportsman. Lord Dunraven
has many friends in the United States
who have admired him for his pluck and
his many good personal qualities and
his churlish action in declining Mr.. Ise-

UNEQUAL. or the San Bernardino track
the writer Ganot at this time say any
thing The promoters of the meet down
there have assured the public that they
have the fastest track in Southern Cali
fornia, and San Bernardino is given to
keeping a promise of this kind. If ell

of the races and the condition of the

that will be far our of the ordinary bicy-

The Citrus wheelmen held o meeting
last evening at the parler of the Hollen-
beck hotel and transacted routine bust
ness. The emblem OF the. club has not
been decided on and the massive brain OF
the only ''Knip'' is now hard at work
on something suitable, ohaste, artistic,
etc. The statement in morning con-
tenn porary that the club.is composed OF
disgruntled members OF the Los Angeles
wheelmen is not true. The organizers of
the club are mostly men who have never
belonged to any bicycle institution or or
gani2atlon before, and by.far the larger
part of the mem bership is composed of
young business men who have only lately
taken to the wheel as means OF recrea-
ton and who wished to have a club and
club house of their own.
