MEETING OF THE JOEs.
Interest Manifested in the Prospective
Match Between Choynski and
Goddard.

The prospective fistic debate between
Joe Choynski and Joe Goddard, the third
of the series, that the National Club is
striving to arrange for some time in No
vem ber, is even at this time creating
something of a Juror in the sporting
world.
Although the San franciscan has twice
lowered his coiors TO the Australian, the
formers friends express their entire will
ingness to stake their last meal ticket on
his ability to obtain the decision in the
argument, and Choynski's alacrity in con-
ceeding 10 his old contestant more than
could be reasonably expected in the way
of monetary inducements prove his conf
dence in b is own powers.
Goddard is offered 60 per cent of the
gross receipts If he win and 40 per cent if
he lose, while Choynski is satisfied witt
80 per can't in the event of his success and
nothing should Goddard make it three
straight. Nothing has been decided upon
regarding the date of the enc c1unter, nor
can there be anything definite until a

BICYCLE ORDINANCE.

Bernardo WILDER Arrested for Not
Having a Bell on His Machine.
The bicycle ordinance has been prac-
tically dead letter for some months, no
arrests having been made, but the police
have again wakened up to the necessity OF
its enforcement.
Last Saturday night Bernardo WILDER, a
well-dressed waiter, was arrested on
Ninth street by Policeman Chase for
violating the ordinance in not having q
bell on his bicycle.
When taken to the City Prison he was
very indignant over his arrest and threat
ened to test the constitutionality OF the
ordinance Although he had sufficient
money In his pockets to bail himself out
he preferred to play the role of a martyr.
A night and a day in the cell brought
him TO his senses, and last night when
Judge Low happened to visit the prison
he begged to see him, and on hearing his
story Judge Lowe released him on his own
reCognlZanCe.

IN A HURRY
TO FENCE IT IN
Southern Pacific Already
Grabbing at It's Water
Front.
Stakes Said to Have Been
Driven Between the Nail
Works and Peralta Street.
Significant Action on the Part of the
Corporation Following on the
Recent Decision.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

9OS Broad way, Sept. 10
The Southern Pacific Company has al
ready taken steps to enclose the pieces OF
waterfront property awarded it by the
decision of the Suprem Court.
Much surprise was manifested in town
to-day when it became known that opera
tions had actually begun toward erecting
the barriers. When the worKmen ut the
yards quit yesterday gang was told off
under foreman to work to-day at fence
building.
They were not told where to go, but
were to report at the yards to the foreman.
This they did, and to-day they have been
at work preparing fences, and it is stated
that some stakes were actually driven be-
tween the nail works and the yards at
Peralta street.
This step is of great significance. as it
would indicate that the Water Front Com
pany does not intend to appeal from the
decision. All kinds of contradictory re-
ports have been made during the past five
days, but nothing definite has transpired,
and the commencement Of fence-building
is the first decided step that has been
taken, and the events il the immediate
future will be looked forward 10 with great
in crest.
l is not quite clear how anything is to
be gained by fencing in the tide lands as
at present washed by the tide, but there
is one very important point that so far
has not been referred to. The decision
gives the company the land between high
and low water mark-in 1852. when the
original grant was made. During the
past five years hundreds of acres of this
land has been filed III and the tide line
obliterated.
This land is now solid and available for
the erection OF any kind OF manufacturing
purposes and is of I'M mense value. 1t has
been filled in Dy the material dredged from
the estuary and IS of vast extent, and it is
thought to be this land that the company
is desiTous TO fence IN.
The last time the company did any
fencing was in 1894. when they started
also on a Sunday to drive a row of piles
mile out in the bay to strengthen their
claim to the water front. On that occa-
puller and some dynamite, brought the
them with the clty's old junk.
It is not known where the fence build
ing will begin and end, but the material
is now all ready and the gang is under
instruction to start. Should the city of
Oakland desire to appeal from the de-
cision it is probable that an injunction
will De asked forbidding the Waterfront
Company from in any manner interfering
with the property till the matter is finally
adiudicated.

AROUND THE BASES.
Alerts Defeated in a Close
Game by the Fresno
Republicans.
Heesemans Defeat the San Francisco
Athletic Club in Ten
Inning Game.

The Fresnos defeated the Aierts yester-
day in one OF the hottest baseball battles
witnessed on our local diamond in years.
The visitors owe their victory to the
clever pitching of Thompson, their little
'southpaw.' Aside from his twirling
the Fresno team supported him in the
field in great style.
The Alerts played as if their lives de-
pended on the result, and at times their
work bordered on brilliancy, but luck was
against them. Time and again they had
men on bases, but a weak batter would
succumb TO .Thompson's puzzling de-
livery and their chances for tallying were
lost.
The score was tied three times during
the game and the excitement was in
tense. saThe sympathizers of the visiting
team, and they were many tried to outdo
the Alert ''rooters" in yelling. and any
one passing the grounds during the game
would have thought that Bedlam had
broken loose.
In the first inning the Fresnos landed a
run and the score remained in that posi-
ton until the fifth inning, when the
Alerts made tally-evening things. II
the next inning the Fresnos added two
more runs to their credit, and not to be
outdone the Alerts aid likewise. In the
seventh the Alerts gained lead by scor-
Ing one, but the fresnos were not 10 be
stayed, as they added two more in the
eighth.
Fresno led by one run when the Alerts
went to bat in their half of the eighth.
Croll was first up and went out on bunt
to III rd, and Mckee singled to center.
Moskiman was given base on balls.
Btockhoff sacrificed, advanc cling Mckee to
third and the prospect looked brighter for
the Alerts. Schmeer was The next batter
up, but Catcher Hammond, who acts as
captain for the photographers" saw tit
to allow auburn headed Rankin TO bat in
his stead, thinking that young man
would score o. Kane and Moskiman.
This last move on Hammond's part
added to his unpopularity. The crowd
wan ted Schmeer TO bat, as he had been
playing good game at short. Hammond
was obdurate, however, and Rankin
stepped to the plate. Fresno's little
pitcher, feeling that his reputation was at
stake, simply let out link and Mr.. Ran
kin famed the air three times, much to
the satisfaction of the crowd.
The Fresnos clinched their hold on the
game IN the ninth by making another
run. The Alerts had last chance TO
score, and it looked for time that they
would be successful. Har1- Uniting O'Kans
led off with swift grounder TO pitcher,
and The ball struck Thompson in the pit
of the stomach, disabling him for a time,
but he puckily continued the game.
Hammond was given a life and Hardy
struck out Eagan then flew out to left,
anu O'Kane, seeing that his only chance
of scoring was to reach third, made the
attempt. He reached the bag just Sec
ond ahead of Britain, who seemed to be
sleeping on his position during the whole
game Croll had 4 chance 10 disting uisn
him self, but failed. After fouiing twice
he struck out, ending great game. The

graduates in science, the demand for
teachers in natural science having been
particularly great this year. Accordingly
he looked among the undergrad yates and
selected Harker. who was strongly recon-
mended by Professors Rising ana O'Neill
OF the department of chemistry. in which
HaTker has pursued a special line of
work
Harker is a graduate OF Belmont School
and is captain OF the sigma! corps of the
University Cadets. The professors under
whom he has studied speak fatteringiy of
his work. President K-llogg declares that
Harker is as we'll fitted for ihe position he
is about to assume as if ne were gradu-
ate, he having already taken all the scien-
titc work necessary for graduation.
