KNOCKED OUT IN SIX ROUNDS.
Eddie DOnneIIy Proves no Match for
Jack Everhardt.


Jack Everhardt.
Hot Springs, Ark. Jan. 22-Jack Ever
hardt of New Orleans defeated Eddie Don
nelly of Boston in six rounds tonight at
the New Hot Springs Athletic Club in the
presence of 500 persons. Bat Masterson
of Denver was selected referee by accla-
nation.
The men entered the ring at 1920 O'clock
in excellent condition, but before the first
round was over it was plainly apparent
that Donnelly was no match for Ever
hardt
During the first round Donnelly failed to
land an effective blow. but received sew
eral with telling effect.
The second round like the first was
entirely one-sided, Donnelly being severe
ly punished, chiefly with body blows de-
livered at short range.
The third round was without special
features, Everhardt keeping up his in
lighting. Donnelys nose began bleeding
profusely in this round, placing him at
still greater disadvantage. He managed
to land two face blows but they seemed
to be without effect
In the other rounds Everhardt had
things his own way, knocking Donnelly
down four times, he generally taking the
full time to get up, until the last, when
he was counted out.

 The Field this week devotes it's lead ing article to contrasting British and American race riding, and for the first time in its history 1t indorses some thing American. The Field says: There was a time when Englishmen thought themselves supreme in every thing concerning the horse, but that idea is being very surely knocked in the head, for American horses have won some of our best races, and now Sloan comes among us to show our jockeys he has a style apparently su- perior to theirs"
 The Field characterizes as absurd and unsportsmanlike the published suggestion that owners should boycott Sloan, as his victories are won by trick and asks what would Englishmen have said If similar treatment had been meted out to English jockeys on Ameri- can racecourses. In conclusion the Field remarks: Not a single word was ever brought up about unfairness in Sloan's riding, and he Is entitled to full praise for his victories. It should be equally unjust and ungenerous to deny him full credit for what he has accomplished, for 1t is not sportsman like to attempt to explain away defeat"

Many Important and Expen- siVe improvements for

Commodore Watson came down from Mare Island last evening and went di rectly to the home of his relative, Judge Thornton, at 290S Jackson street His head and hand were still bandaged as the result of the injury received in the train wreck near Colfax, and a piece as big as a quarter was missing from his forehead Although badly shaken up by the accident he was in good spirits. Seat ed around him his relatives listened to his interesting talk on the late war.
 When seen by a Call representative he stated that important improvements would soon be under way at Mare Island, and that they would be extensive and permanent. This will mean the expend- ing of many thousands of dollars and give employment to many hundreds of men.
 The officers quarters ruined by the last earthquake" he said, will have to be rebuilt. Several of the workshops, a section of the seawall and an additional drydock will probably be constructed"
 He also thought that considerable work In the line of construction and repair would be done at the island and a great deal of money would be disbursed. Tn his opinion the yard would be put In the highest state of efficiency.

RETURNING TO THE PARTY FOLD Silver Republicans Are
 for Gage. SITUATION IN LOS ANGELES FUSION NOMINEE IS LOSING

 He Is Back in the
 Ranks.
SITUATION IN LOS ANGELES
FUSION NOMINEE IS LOSING
 VOTES DAILY.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. S.-The Silver Republicans of this county are rapidly f1ocking to the standard of Henry T. Gage In 1896 Los Angeles County cast a large Silver Republican vote for Bryan. The club here claimed to have on it's roll 40O0 names, and it is esti- mated that at least $500 Silver RepubIi- cans did vote with the Democrats on the Presidential issue This vote was partially offset by the 2500 gold Demo- crats who voted for Mckinley.
 This year in Los Angeles County the
 Gold Democrats are opposed to Ma guire for the reason that he stands for all the elements they voted against in
 1896 and is running on a platform that
 indorses the Chicago pronunciamento
 of the Silver Democrats, made two years ago by Altgeld and company.
 On the other hand, half of the Silver Republicans have returned to the straight Republican party as far as the State is concerned. Many of them will vote for Gage and a mixed State ticket. The sentiment of these Silver Repub- licans is ably set forth by Dr. w. M. Johnston, who in 1896 and 1887 was one of the most active Silver Republicans in this city. He was one of the execu- tive committee or the CIlNS INePuO4i-
 can Club, and was prominent in the club management.
 In giving his reasons for supporting
 Henry T. Gage for Governor Dr. John ston said:
 T have known MT. Gage for long period, and l know him to be an hon est. and. in every way, an honorable
 man. He is fully competent to fill the position of chief executive of the State this we all know The story that the Southern Pacific or any corporation or individual can control his policy as Governor of the State is all bosh. personally know of at least 200 Silver Republicans who are going to vote Tor Gage, and a major portion of the Re publican State ticket:
 T am convinced that the Silver Re
 publican organization here could not accomplish what 1t was organized for'
 and I left it. I am now back in the 1 Republican party, where l believe l 1 can accomplish more for the principles believe in and for the good of the State | of California With hundreds Of for
 mer Silver Republicans this same sen- | timent exists
