ATHLETICS AT THE EMPIRE.
A Good Programme of Sparring and
Wrestling.

Last night there was a ring and mat
entertainment at the Empire which drew
a large crowd and was a good exhibition
of sparring and wrestling. The best of the
whole evenings matches was the Corbett-
Fftzsimmens fight. John Tilden, a grown
man about four feet high. was Fitz and
Corbett was unprecedented by ST Cullom.

1t was giant and pigny matched. Fitz
could not reach Corbett's face except when
Corbett leaned over TO land on Fitz and
then some good passes were made. 1t was
a frst-class take-off. corbett famed the
air while Fitz poked in body blows 10 per-

in tight quarters and suddenly passed be-

surprise. coming up in the rear and get

Carl seemed TO have the attitude and
movements of a fighter, but lacked consid-

even. Both did very good work and each
landed on the other often.

gay time for three rounds. Judy is consid-

Lacey has been matched TO fight Blackwell

the present month.
The wrestling was rather tame except the
work by Hale and OiHara. The latter

a man can we'll be. He was able to pick
Hale off the mat at any time and toss him
about as he pleased. but Hale's science
was too much even for the great odds of
weight. For ten minutes there was the
most terrific efforts on the part Of both
men. Such hard work has never before
been seen in q wrestling match in this
city. A number of times O'Hara had Hale

The California Derby.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 3.-The inaugu-
raj California Derby, valued at $1,000, was

rank outsider flashed by the winning post

AN EXCITING GAME.
The most exciting game of the tourna-
ment was played Friday night between the
indianapolis and the Social Turner'S. with a
victory for the former. This was a game
that was so close all the way through that
it was %''anybody's game until the last pin
was down. The final score was 1916 and
1872, and it was not until the last member
OF the Indianapolis 1luD Hdu ScHI HE last
ball down the line that the indianapolis
Club was ahead in the score. Throughout
the entire game until the rolling of the
last ball the Social Turner's were @head,
and it was a great setback to them that
they missed taking a game from the I'M
defeated team by such a small margin. The
score follows:

There will be five more games end the
tournament will be half over. and then will
come the Hamburg game for the other half.
This game differs from the other in that
the pins are not set up after a player has
rolled his allotted number of balls urless
they are all down, but the next man begins
where the previous member of his club left
off. rolling at a single pin if only one re-
mains standing. and continuing to try for
this pin until it goes down, Then all are
set UP again. OF course this game will
nave lower scores than the other. but the
skill i'm playing is practically the same: The
