SPORT IN SHELL AND
 SKIFF AT FL CAMPO
THE SPECIAL MATCH RACE ENDS
 IN A WALKoVER.
Pape Wins the Senior Outraged Skiff Event From Four Com petitors in Very Good
 Time.

The skiff and shell races postponed from June 18th on account of the rough water took place yesterday at Fl Campo-that Is, some of them did. But the most inter- esting event, that in which the public at tention was centered. the special match race between A. W. Pape, of the Dolphins, and William McCausland of the Ariels, resulted in a walk-over, much to the dis appointment of large number of specta- tors. The day was brilliant and, though moderate breeze was blowing, it did not seriously incommode the scullers.
 The Pape-McCausand race was set down for 1 o'clock, and few minutes af- ter that hour Pape was ready at the start ing-line but McCausland, though he had come over by the 10:30 boat, was not ready to row and was disappointed in getting souls belonging to Patch, who wanted them himself in the Senior outraged skiff race, and did not feel disposed to lend them for an earlier event. No suitable pair being obtainable, McCausland desir- ed the Regatta Committee to postpone the match till after the Senior skiff race but Pape. who wished to pull in that event. was not ready to consent to this. So the Regatta Committee determined to adhere to the schedule, and Pape was sent over the course, making the very good time of 13 minutes and seconds.
 The Senior shell race, for which H. Witkopf of the Ariels and J. w. Lynn of the Stockton Athletic Club were en- tered, resulted in another disappointment, the Stockton man not being on the spot. So Wittkoff rowed over the course by himself: time. 14 minutes and 50 seconds

The third event produced the first race of the day. Victor Caglieri of the Dol phins was the only one of the three com petitors in the first heat of the Junior boat from swamping and went over the course. In the second heat c. Ochs Of the Pioneers and William Howe of the Ariels took first and second place. In the final heat, rowed yesterday, c. Ochs had the outside station: Caglieri the middle and Ochs was in the lead, followed by Gag lieri and Howe. After rounding the stake boat the same order was kept, and Ochs came home an easy winner. Time, 13 minutes 31 seconds. Caglieri's time was 13 minutes and 52 seconds. Howe did not finish.
 For the fourth and last event, the Sen- for outraged skiff race, five competitors presented themselves: A. w. Pape and w. O. Patch of the Dolphins, F. Ayers and Chester Ayers of the Alamedas and H. Wittkopf of the Ariels Pape had the inside station Wittkopf the next, Patch the center, F. Ayers the next and C. Ayers the outside.

HIS BLOW MAY

RESULT OF A QUARREL
CHARLES SCOTT, HER AsSAIL-
 ANT, UNDER ARREST.

Grace Rodgers, a prepossessing young woman, who Is said to be well connected, Is dying from the effects of a blow which she received on the evening of July at the hands of Charles Scott, who is said to be her lover.
 The pair, so 1t is claimed, had trivial dispute in front of an O'Farrell-street resort, which eliminated in Scott strik- ing his helpless victim a terrific blow in the neck. The unfortunate woman stag gered as If badly hurt and finally fell unconscious to the sidewalk. Scott, evil dently realizing that she was seriously injured, took to his heels and disap- peared.
 Several bystanders, on learning where the woman lived. took her to her room. The landlady at once summoned a doctor, who discovered that her left side was paralyzed, presumably from the effects of the blow. She was unable to speak and 1t was with difficulty that she man. aged to write the name of her brutal assailant on a strip of paper Yesterday her condition became worse, and hen friends decided to notify the police.
 Several officers were immediately de- tailed to find Scott. but it was not until last night that he was caught. He was located by Special Officer Huey Smith in a saloon on O'Farrell street, and sent to the California-street station, where his name was registered on the detinue book
 Scott, it is understood. positively denies that he struck the Rodgers woman. He claims that she fell down, her head strik- ing against the pavement causing paraly- sis of the side.
 Notwithstanding his protestation of in- nocence the police say they have several witnesses who saw Scott strike the un. fortunate victim.
 Last night it was reported to the police that the woman was in a serious condi- tion and likely to die.
 Scott will be held pending the result of her injuries.
