Thomas Sharkey has issued a chal-
lenge, addressed to Robert Fitzsimmons,
in which he demands that Fitzsimmons
give him the first chance on his re-en-
tertng the ring, Sharkey claims that he
won the Fitzsimmons-Sharke fiasco
fairly, and that Jim Corbett had the as
sistance of the police when he had Cor
bett beaten in their fight in San Fran
cisco.
There will be no fighting in San Fran
cisco this month and perhaps there may
be none hereafter. The board of su-
pervisors of that city and county have
continued their refusal to issue permits
and one of the results has been the
abandonment of the efforts to have Jim
Jeffries of this city and Sharkey give
their twenty-round go in Mechanics pa
vilion. Both men had been training fol-
weeks, but as there is no immediate
prospect of a change in the attitude of
the supervisors they have closed theil
training quarters.

MAY USE CANNON"

That portion of the game law relative
to the use of guns of a larger caliber
than No. 10 was stricken Tuesday from
the statute books by decision OF the
supreme court
At the last session of the legislature
amendments were made to the game
laws, one of the new sections providing:
EVERY person who shall use shotgun
of larger caliber than that commonly
known and designated as No. 10 gauge
shall be guilty of misdemeanor." Com
plant was made In the Justices court OF
Fresno against Chris Peterson for hav-
Ing No. s bore gun in his possession,
and he was convicted of the offense.
From the sentence-a fine of $50-habeas
corpus proceedings were taken to the
superior court and denied. On Monday
the supreme court had the petition for
habeas corpus submitted to 1t. Tuesday
the court ordered the prisoner dis
charged, holding that the complaint,
which was drawn in accordance with the
statute, was not sufficient to constitute
an Offense.

next month overtures will be made by
the league looking to the adjustment OF
the existing differences between the two
organizations. Just what will be offered
or in what manner the first steps toward
a reconciliation will be made is not
known, but the action of President Orr
of the Canadian organization in recog-
nizing the California wheelmen has done
much to convince the eastern wheelmen
that there is more of justice in the cause
of the California riders than the league
organs have given them. If the league
grants local option in regard to Sunday
racing the greatest point of difference
between the two will have been removed.

CoURsING

The cloudiess skies and mild weather
attracted an unusually large crowd to
the coursing at Agricultural park yes
terday afternoon, there being at least
$500 people on the grounds. The recent
rains had put the field in fine condition
and from an artistic standpoint, added
another feature to the popular sport, as
the faint green Just beginning to show
in the inclosure made a pretty back
ground for the running. The jacks were
in good shape and in most cases made
long runs with many short turns and
narrow escapes.
The favorites were conspicuous by
their absence, as only the dogs which
had never run were given chance for
the consolation purse. There were eight
entries for the Sapling stakes and few
of the puppies gave every evidence OF
superior breeding which promised well
for the future. An extra feature of the
afternoon was the five mile race be-
tween the fast running horse Prince
Hooker, driven by Bob Hackney, and a
tandem bicycle ridden by w. II. Palmer
and Fritz Lacy of Los Angeles. This
was a close and exciting race. During

CYCLING

Local wheelmen are now most inter-
ested in the disposition which the board
of public works and the city council wilt
make of the petition for an ordinance
to compel them to equip their wheels
with bells and lamps. No action has
been taken on the matter as yet, and
considerable opposition to the proposed
ordinance has developed. Some of the
opponents charge that the measure was
fathered by certain dealers who are de-
sirous of selling lamps and bells, for it
Is certain that there would be rush on
these cycle accessories. This has been
denied by some of the dealers, who say
they do not care whether the ordinance
is adopted or not. Some of them have
been unkind enough to say that even If
it should be adopted it's enforcement
would be spasmodic. The board of pub
lie works, to whom the matter was re-
ferred, are disposed to do just what the
wheelmen as a whole desire, provided
they can secure some expression of opip-
ion from them. Only few riders al.
peared at the last meeting of the board
and the consideration of the matter was
postponed until such time as the pres
ence of larger number of riders can be
secured.

BASEBALL

One of the most closely contested
games of baseball Of the season was
played yesterday afternoon at Fiesta
park between the new Los Angeles team
and the team from San Bernardino
which so easily defeated the nine that
went there to play two weeks ago. 1t
required ten innings to decide the game
and then there was every prospect Of
more, only a home run at an opportune
moment winning for the local club
There is nothing which savors of the
amateur in a game that the San Ber-
nardino team puts up. The men play
well together and there is more team
work than individual effort.
In spite of the fact that the Los Ange-
les nine comprises a number of profess
sionals, the visitors gave them all the
work they wanted, and, as stated, the
victory was accidental. DUNCAN and
Decker, who were to have played with
the Los Angeles, did not appear. They
had not been informed of the game, it
having been arranged too late for word
to be sent SO they could not reach the
city. This left Steinfeldt and Henry to
do the battery work. They did it well,
holding the opposing nine to five hits.
Hopkins and Early did nearly all the
playing in the infield for the home team.
The score book was lost after the game
and therefore a tabulated score could
not be furnished. The score by innings
follows:
Los Angeles. O l 0 0 0 0 0 0 IA

The Trilbys defeated the Los Angeles
club at Athletic park yesterday after
noon in a well played game. The Los
Angeles nine is composed of some of the
best local players, several of whom We're
in the club which represented this city
in the recent northern tournament. The
attendance was good, considering that
there were other attractions, including
another ball game. The Trilbys really
won the game in the first inning, when
they hit Tripp for four runs, taking a
lead which they kept. Some idea of the
excellence of the game may be had when
it is stated that in the ninth timing the
Los Angeles filed the bases when only
one man was out, but they were unable
to score when one run would have tied
the score the summary follows:

Valiente, he has had the advantage of
constant and careful handling, and
knowing ones put him down as a dan
gerous factor in the race.
The eastern dogs regarded with the
most curiosity are Dash Antonio, Luke
and Lock. These dogs all have formid-
able records. Dash Antonio has twice
won the cup in the international field
trials. Last year the same cup was won
by Lock, Dash Antonio taking second
place. Luke has been a starter in many
trials and has never failed to get place.
Lock will be run by his owner, Arthur
Bennett, and the other two dogs by w.

The Santa Cruz baseball club, one of

north to secure the appearance here of
the several clubs which participated in
the tournament, that he had arranged
the dates mentioned with the Santa
Cruz. The team is made up as follows:

stop; Borland, left field; Stulz, center
field and McGrath. right field. This Sc
ries of games is the first of several

GENERAL SPORTS

There is every prospect of revival OF

being largely used in preference to the
old wood rollers, so treacherous to be-
ginners.
Charles Fitzpatrick of Syracuse, N. Y,
holder Of the worlds amateur record for
the half-mile run, has signed articles
for two races with the crack Irish run
ner, George Tincler. The first race will
be run at Lynne, England, January 20,
and the distance will be one-half mile.
The second race will be three quarters of
mile, and will be run at Avon-under-
Lynne. England, January 90. Each race
will be for $3.50 a'side.
The electric tandems will be used for
pacing on the track at Belleaire, Fla.
This will be the first use of the motor
cycle in this country as a pacing ma
chine.
Thousands turn out at San Francisco
to see the coursing events there, and.
according to the Examiner, as high as
S42, 900 in single day has been wagered
