ing arrangements with the Southern Pacific
railroad to bring down the exhibits of the
gentlemen from San Francisco and Burling-
ame. Within a few days it is confidently
expected that a long list of entries can be an
nounced from these gentlemen.
William Curlett of San Francisco, the con.
sulting architect of the Horse Show associa-
tion, has been here for week making esti-
mates and drawing plans for the boxes and
stalls and seating arrangements for the horse
show. Mr.. Curlett will be remembered as
the architect of the magnificent court house
in this city, as well as many other buildings,
public and private, in this city. His artis-
tic sense has been of great value to the as
sociation in laying out the plans for the
horse show.
Messrs. Hawley, King & Co. have offered
as a special premium for one event in the
horse show run-about buggy, made by the
Columbus Buggy company, of Columbus, q.

the wagon has all the modern appliances,

sHARKEY-CoRBETT FIGHT

Tomorrow night may see the passing OF
Jim Corbett from the ranks of the top
notchers, and then again 1t may not. Cor.
bett s inclined to the more sanguine view,
while Sharkey is positive that Corbett is a
goner. The fight has naturally excited great
interest, and aside from the effect the re-
suit will have upon the pugilistic world,
will be very interesting, as it will contrast
two different styles of fighting. Corbett is
the same scientific, shifty man he formerly
was, but probably not go strong, while
Sharkey possesses all Of his old time
strength and has also learned some things
Of ring tactics. II will be a battle largely
of brute strength against science and ring
generalship.
Sharkey says that Corbett has predicted
he will ma Ike exactly the same sort of fight
he did against Sullivan. The sailor replies
very sagely to this that while Corbett may
repeat his style Of fighting, Sharkey will
not fight like Sullivan. The sailor is quick
and his rushes are said to be almost ire
sistible, so unless Corbett is remarkably
active he may not be able to evade the
sailor or jab him to death. Sharkey says
he will start after his man from the first

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
Two Alleged Train Robbers Taken
Into Custody


z. w. Ross, special agent for the Santa
Fe Pacinc, returned yesterday from the
scene of the attempted hold-up near Dag
gett Saturday morning. He says that two
men have been taken into custody by the
authorities, but one of them is thought to
be merely hobo. Ignatius Eisler is the
name OF the robber who was killed by Ex-
press Guard +, b. Blakely.
John Moriarty is the name of one Of the
men arrested as a suspect, but Ross is not
acquainted with the identity of the third
man. Mr.. Ross is of the opinion that the
hold-up was attempted by some men who
have been residing in the vicinity of Daggett.
lnasmuch as Eisler had worked for several
ldays in the track-laying gang, it is thought
| that he may have some pals in that locality,
| if not among the members of the gang itself.
Eisler is thought to have left this city and
gone out to work with tho track-laying
gang. He had friend in the same gang,
Moriarty. These two men and third, whose
identity is not known, occupied room at a
lodging house in Daggett the night before
the hold-up. They left the room during the
| night, and Moriarty went back to get rifle
which they had forgotten to take away.
The morning following the train robbery
Moriarty and third man appeared at Dag
gett and asked for work. No steps were
taken Immediately to arrest these men, al
though suspicion was directed toward them
Both were taken into custody later, however
but it is not thought the third man had an,
hand in the robbery. The supposition il
that there were more of the gang waitin,

Captain Hall was the only man who could
gain against Stanford. Pringle and Whip-
pie of the 81 team will play the tackles.
Womble and Craig will hold down the ends.
Craig played on last years eleven, and Wom-
BILE has made a big reputation this season.
Smith, who made great hit in the fresh
men game, and Captain Percy Hall will play
the halves. Hall is veteran OF W, and
the best half on either team. Kaarsberg Is
to be full-back, and Thane the quarter. The
Associated Women students gave the team
big rally at Harmon gymnasium on Thurs
day night, and at Friday afternoons practice
grand football rally was held on the grid
| iron. Speeches were made, and the Uni
versity band furnished music. Enthusiasm
was stirred to high pitch, and great en-
couragement given the team.
At Stanford the eleven was given grand
send-off on Thursday night. About l5Ot
students turned out, and, aroused by
speeches and the music OF the band, gave
their men grand ovation. Coach Cross
and the football squad left on Friday morn
| ing for Congress Springs, in the coast range
near San Jose. They will remain there un
til the game. The eleven will probably
| be picked as follows: Freeman, center
with Bigelow substitute; James and Blanch
ard guards, Beckett substitute; Phil Wilson
and Cairns, tackles; Parker and Res
Smith ends, Rice substitute; Murphy, quar-
| terback; Clinton and Dole halves, Plate and
Hill substitutes. Captain Fisher will play
! lfullback, as he is much the strongest mar
| for the place, and is more effective there
than at either half
Yale met veritable Waterloo on Satur
day, for the Howard freshmen beat hei
"babes" in the morning, and her Var
sty eleven was fairly trampled in the mud
by the Harvard men, with score OF II to
in clean, hard-fought victory. Pennsyl
vania made better showing against Har
ward, and Princeton also beat the "Sons o.
Eli" so Yale will have to be content with
fourth place this season. Harvard has
Princeton alone to defeat to hold the COW
eted championship, and, comparing the
games against Yale, the Tigers should be an
easy mark for the Cambridge men.
In the middle west, Chicago plays Michi
gan on Thanksgiving day, and should win

Minnesota in Minneapolis to battle for sec
ond place.
The Hilltops played tie game of football
with the Thirty-second street boys on thu

scored.
The third team of the high school played 6

Los ANGELES HERALD. MONDAY MORNING NOVEMBER a. 1899

Bob Thompson and. Kid Parker have
signed articles of agreement and posted for
feits for their third meeting, which will oc-
cur before the Los Angeles Athletic club
next Monday night, the 28th. Both men
defeat of Ben Lewis caused the Kids stock
here on two occasions. Parker was victori-
GUS in the first, but Thompson evened up
matters by whipping the white man at their
last meeting a short time ago. Since then
Parker has been trying to secure return
match, but did not feel satisfied with the
terms imposed by Thompson. During the
negotiations the men had an impromptu
fight, but no material damage was done.
Bad blood has existed between them as
the result of this encounter, and as both are
plucky, the coming fight is likely to prove
unusually interesting.
According to the agreement they are to
weigh in at 1877 pounds at o'clock the even
ing of the fight. This is heavier than
Thompson usually weighs and slightly
lighter than Parker desired, but it is not
likely to make any material difference in
the contest. Both men have deposits of
$3.50 each to insure their appearance at the
ring side and to guarantee that they will
not be overweight. They are training in
dustriousy at the Athletic club and are in
splendid condition. Parker's recent easy
are well known locally, as they have fought
to rise considerably, and there will be plen-
ty Of Parker money ready to back the white
man in his coming fight.
| In addition to the Thompson-Parker
fight there will be several preliminaries, the
chief of which is a ten-round 60 between
Wick Brown of Australia and Rufus
| Thompson, a pupil of Bob Thompson. These
men will weigh $50 pounds. Brown is a
recent arrival from Australia, and is said
to be very clever man.
On December 9th the club has arranged
another match between Billy Gallagher and
Jimmy Trimble. These men fought before
the club some weeks ago, and though Gal
lagher did practically all Of the leading and
| fighting, the event was called draw, as
Trimble went for his more experienced op-
ponent toward the last of the fight and
nearly had him out. Their next meeting
will probably be as pretty fight as has
been witnessed in long time.
The Manhattan club will give another
fight tomorrow night in which Kid Cham
bers and Billy de Coursey will be the prin
cipal figures. The men fought ten-rourd
draw before the Los Angeles Athletic clul
some time ago and are evenly matched
There will also be three preliminaries. One
will be for four rounds between j. Dawson
of Arizona and Tom Douglas of this city
Tommy Banks, the champion bantam
weight of Southern California, will fight
Kid Mangerina six-round preliminary ant
there will also be four-round preliminary
between unknowns. In addition to the
fights the returns of the Corbett-Sharkey
fight will be read between the rounds.

COURSING

In spite Of the heavy wind, there was a
fair attendance at the coursng at Agricul-
tural park yesterday, and the events, while
necessarily slow, were up to the usual stand
ard. Kitty Scott again captured the purse,
after pretty run between Queen Kelp. The
latter was in good form all day, ard up the
final was looked upon as a sure winner In
the last event. She seemed tired, while Kitty
Scott, who looked played out in the third
tie, and who was almost beaten by Nash
vile, showed up fresh. The result of the
runs were as follows:

BLUE ROCK TOURNAMENT

The participants in the seventh semi-an-
nual tournament of the Los Angeles Gun
club had to shoot in about the most disa
greeable weather yesterday imaginable. 1t
had been hoped that there would he pleas
ant weather, as it was the last day of the
tournament, and the team and individual
championships were to be decided. The
hopes of the crowd were not realized, how
cane and in addl; on to the air being very
cold, the dust and straw was blown into
the air in such quantities as to obscure
the view of the shooters and materially in
terfere with their seeing the targets as they
were thrown. Naturally the scores were
not so high as usual, but when the adverse
condition of the weather is taken into con-
sideration, some remarkable work was done
by the participants.
The individual championship and best
average was won by Blades, Van Valken-
burgh and Vaughn tying for the second
best average throughout the two days
shoot. The scores in detail follow:
First event, fifteen birds-Van Valken-

or excitement the robbers allowed them
selves to be carried beyond this place Of
meeting. When the crowd at that mile post
saw the train go laundering past, they
thought that their pals had failed to take
possession and so retreated After the
train pulled into Darstow the engineer saw
man on the cowcatcher, and Bunnell
jumped for him and accused the man of be-
ing one of the gang. 1t would have gone
badly with the tramp, for such he proved to
be, if he had not demonstrated to the satis-
faction of the angry railroad men that he
was innocent of any participation in the
hold-up. A posse was sent in search of the
other train robbers, and it is expected that
more arrests will follow.

ON THE GRIDIRoN

Thanksgiving day is the climax of the
football season, and on next Thursday all
over the country cheering thousands will
watch their favorite teams struggle for su-
premacy. After the oath the college glad
iator will discard his padded armor and
chrysanthemum locks, and turn his atten-
tion to the other affairs of student life.
That football is rapidly becoming the most
popular outdoor sport is shown by the in
creasing attendance at the games, and the
financial success OF the larger teams. The
Yale team cleared nearly $1,000 last year, and
Harvard made almost as much The Car
Isle Indian eleven netted about $4,000 last
season, and will exceed that amount this
year.
On the local gridiron the chief event of the
past week was the surprising defeat Of the
U. S. c. eleven by the lighter team from the
high school, by score of to o. The vic
tory was due to the team work and fast,
snappy play of the latter team. The college
men were over-coniident, and it did not prac-
tice as much as they needed.
The second eleven of the high school was
not as successful as their seniors, for they
lost game to the Occidental college team by
score of 10 to 0 on Saturday morning.
