THE ESCAPES FROM BLACKWELL'S ISLAND
JOHN WALSH. WHO WAS RESCUED. HELD FOR
JAIL-BREAKING.

John Walsh. one OF the three prisoners who
,scaped from Blackweis Island Saturday night
and was rescued from drowning In the East RIVER
nv the ferryboat running 10 Long Island CITY, had
sufficiently recovered Yesterday morning to be ar
ra,gned in Yorkville Court. Walsh said he did not
know what had become Of his two companions
John Jones and Patrick Duffy, but he thinks Dnfy
rot a plank and reached the shore. Jones was an
older man, and Walsh thinks he was drowned
The Warden OF the Workhot SO on Backwells
Island took the stand and urged Magistrate Brana
10 make an example of Walsh adding that me
of 81 or so would not adequately punish him Inc
Warden wished 10 make complaint OF breakle
fail against Walsh, and this the Magistrate aIIoWe
him 10 do. holding Walsh for trial in default OF 60"
bail. ,,,,- ,.,,,
self TIE circumstances under which the three HiSi
were allowed to escape were peculiar, to say lHS
least The prisoners were TRUSTEES VINO w.
employed on the boat that runs from Blach"ciiI
Island TO Fifty-second-St.. and when the boat lltu
up al the island after her last trip the men WIZ
told 10 20 TO their dormit cries. Instead te! nIn
In the darkness, and aftoTward jumped mo INC
river to escape. 1t il generally thousht mat |nei
have been altogether too many escapes from pa ~
wells Island of late, and II would seem IN ulis
latest instance, at least that careessness was ~
~ hot,on1 81 II Had reasonable care been eXer-
cised the prisoners could never have e!uded His,
ilance. That no surveillance shoAsi be eXelclseu
over three prisoners who were known 10 De ou na
side the prison seems exceedingly peculiar. intle
might be nothing superauous in an ihNesue"'o'
Of the affair.

Galley Graham, s'Sacto crack trout fisher" that
there was a great run of salmon trout in the
river and that they had entered the overflow

news proved to be too great a temptation for
Galley. He took an afternoon off, and mount

several hours in a driving rain he persistently

board and forwarded to the National Mu-
nicipal League, to be read at the annual
conference of the league to be held at

Time and again the managers of boxing
clubs have been asked to place a covering
over the boards of a ring; but because of
neglect or because of the small expense

difficult Undertaking they (the managers
of clubs) have been personally responsible
for accidents that may have resulted from
a knockout blow. 1t is, however, not zoo
late for the officers OF local boxing organi-
cations to take cogniZance of this fact
and emulate the old California Club and
the present National Club in this respect.
The Olympic Club of this CITY bas a
very good card for May Is, and, unless
something unfore should happen
to cause a postponement, the sport-lovers

intendent Kennedy they will report to
their respective training stations.
Joe Cans and his old-time manager, Al
Herford, have had falling out. and ac-
cording 10 Baltimore paper Her
ford says that he will prevent Cans
from fighting before the Olympic Club,
but Sir William Kennedy says that there
is nothing that can stop Cans from doing
battle. and that the mill will positively
take place.

Rodney Taylor. 1t will probably be one
of the hardest-fought races ever held in
San Mateo County. Johnson is champion
OF the county at present, and together
with Murphy is a mem ber OF the Garden
City CycIers of San Jose. Taylor and
Casey are both mem bers of the California
Cycling Club, and are both known as
speedy men in road events. Taylor was
the champ pion of the county in 1886.
Tnere is considerable interest manifested
in the event at the two clubs mentioned.
Herman D. Hadenfeldt, recently elected
captain OF the Olympic Club Wheelmen,
has been a prominent figure in local
cycling circles for many years past He is
a hardy road-rider and all-round athlete,
and has gained fame also as timer of
road and track event., being member of
the G. A. G. G. board OF official timers. His
unanimous election to the ca ptaincy OF
the Dig PoStstreet cycling club was but
proper evidence OF appreciation of his
yalua bic aid at all times cheerfuily given
to the sport.
The crew of the United States revenue
cutter COrwin, since their arrival at San
Diego, have developed the bicycle craze
and they have reputation for smashing
bicycles which is unparalleled. One man
broke three wheels In three hours, which
is not bad for an amateur. Another ran
down wagon and also the drum player
OF the Salvation Army and another tried
TO move an unoffending lamp post, which
he i'm agined was in his way. These are
only few of the incidents which occur
daily among this Corwin boys. There are
no racers ong them. but they guar.
antee If they cannot break records they
can at least break wheels. The Corwin
will shortly leave the southern port and
when she does the proprietors of the BIZ
cycle-shops will heave sigh of relief.
| would like to see more hands take
hold of the work of building up the men,
bership OF the California Associated Cy-
cling Clubs, which has taken up the work
formerly done by the League of American
Wheelmen in this State. While the mem-
oership is growing very rapidly, it should
in reality be sort of boom. Remem-
ber, there is no initiation fee up TO May l.
After that date it will be 81. Here's a
chance to make 81 pretty easily. Send 10
The CALL cycling department for applica-
tion blanks and general information.
