AT INGLESIDE.
Some Good Sport and Fine Array
of Blood

Some good blood made its appearance
at the Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday,
and the finish OF the forty courses, which
will commence to-day at Y o'clock, prom
Uses to afford rare sport.
1t was apparent from the first that the
favortes would carry off the honors. The
short-enders had to trust to luck and pull
even, if they could, on four courses, in
which Monitor, Swinnerton, Miss Alice
and Golden Russet were behind at the
betting ring, but took the purse.
In the last course, between Magdailah
and The GosSoon, the bets were declared
jobbery on the part of The GosSoon's
keepers. When the dog came on the track
it was noticed that she had been fed. The
boy in charge at first denied that s 3lsa
was intended for its evening meal.
The results were as follows:

Much discussion was aroused yesterday
over Lon Agnew's peculiar actions in the
ring. Many were of the opinion that Lon
was intoxicated, but friends of Agnew
claim that he has not INDUCED in over a
year. The true reason for his groggy
movements is that Agnew has been
"batted" so often in the head that it has
set him 'daffy.'' This is not apparent until
he is in the ring. One good blow has its
effect and his actions become deceiving
These same friends say that had he been
allowed to go on he would have improved

ILLNESS DROVE TO SUICIDE.
Augustine Grover browns Himself
While in Pain.

Dependency caused by illness is the
reason given for the suicide of Augustine
A. Grover, whose body was found in a
pool of water two miles below Ingleside
yesterday afternoon.
F. A. Blanchard, private in the
Washington regiment, was going along the
road when he saw coat and hat near the
water, and. on investigation, discovered
the body, which had a sack of stones tied
about the neck. The police were notified
and the body was removed to the Morgue
by Deputy Coroner Hallett.
Grover was a carnenter and had roomed
at the residence of A. w. Dunn, 1922
Valencia street. For the past twelve
years he has been engaged to Annie
Smithurst, sister of Mrs. Dunn and the
two were to have been married within a
week. He recently purchased a lot on
Bartlett street, and the erection of a
home was to have begun tomorrow.
Grover was well to do, having made con-
siderable money in the cider business In
which he was engaged until recently
Miss Smithurst says Grover frequently
complained of neuralgia pains in his
head and it is supposed that while suffer-
ing he killed himself 1t is said that he
made previous attempt on his life by
turning on the gas in his room Friday
night. In a note book found in his pocket
was penciled the following message to
Miss Smthurst: "Good-by, Annie, with
best wishes and love"

BANQUET OF JoURNEYMEN.
A Lot of Jolly Tailors Gather at
Pabst's for Their Annual links.

One hundred and fifty jolly fellows of

spirit of goodfellowship that dominated
the evening.
When the light wines of the late even

HER HUSBAND MISSING.
Mrs. n. D. Hundt Thinks He Was
Led Astray by Women.

Mrs. H J. Hundt, living at 242 Sixth
street, Is greatly worried over the disap-
pearance of her husband, a saloon-keeper
at 23S Sixth street In one breath she
says she fears foul play and in the next
attributes Mr.. Hundt's absence to his in
timacy with two women who used to fire.
quent the saloon.
MY husband left home on the 26th of
last month"; said Mrs. Hundt. He had
with him a large sum of money with
which he was going to pay liquor bill.
When he did not come home that night
telephoned to the wholesale liquor
house and found that he had not been
there. / thought at first that he had
merely gone out on a spree, but his con-
tinued absence leads me to believe that
something has happened to him.
II have thought that perhaps he might
have been drugged and robbed, but have
about come to the conclusion that he
fell in with bad company and spent his
money and now fears to return home.
Two married women have been frequent
visitors to his place of business and
from what / have heard since his disap-
pearance / have come to the conclusion
that they know something of his where
abouts. / am not of a jealous disposition
and did not think anything of their visits
to the saloon, until within the last few
days friends have told me that their ac-
tons were not above reproach."
The missing saloon keeper Is 81 years
old and weighs about 200 pounds. Besides
his wife he left bright 2-year-old little
girl who misses him greatly. Mrs Hundt
says if her husband will return all will
be forgiven.

The actions of the olue-coated minions
of Lees at the fight were not such as
would stamp them as gentlemen. Their
many ruffianly acts would not be tolerated
in any other city on the globe. and the
stars they hid behind probably saved
many of them from getting the treatment
they so richly deserved.

GREEN NOW WANTS
TO FIGHT SMITH
SAYS THAT MCCONNELL NEEDS
ONLY EXPERIENCE.
Local Athletic Clubs Are Very Anx-
ious to Match Tom Sharkey
and Jim Corbett.

George Green was about town yester-
day feeling good over his late victory
He had very little to say about Neon
nell, excepting that the defeated middle
weight would prove a very dangerous man
If he was better drilled in foot work and
had more experience. Green says that his
only ambition now is to meet Billy Smith
again in this city.

said Green, and a third meeting should
decide who is the better man. / whipped
him in Carson and he bested me in the
East. l do not offer an excuse for my
defeat, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that
the excessive heat weakened me to such
an extent that after going ten rounds the
effects of the heat commenced to tell upon
me. However, If Smith wants another
trial l will give it to him, but the con-
test must be decided here"
Mcconnell felt very sore at heart yes
ping Green. and as a consequence his
friends bet large sums on him. He is Of
the opinion now that If he had agreed
not TO hit in the clinches a different re-
suit would have been announced. Mac
thought that at close range fighting he
would certainly have the better of the
game, as he relied upon his right to do
heavy damage at short range, but he
found his opponent up to snuff and a
better general at that style of fisticuffs.
Green invariably got his head or rather
near, and McConnell's right hand punches
landed on the back of his head or neck.
At long range fighting the San Francisco
Athletic Club champion would certainly
have had a better chance of defeating his
opponent, and the rules under which he
fought Tracey would have given him a
much better opening to get in his auc-
tioneer.
Mcconnell would have no objection to
another meeting with Green "ut as he
has suffered two defeats within two
months it is not PROBABLE that his sery-
ices will be in demand un.ll he has gained
more experience.
Harry Corbett is very DESTROYS that the
National or Olympic club give something
like a $4,000 purse for a twenty-round
contest between jim Corbett and Jim
Jeffries. The ex-champion has evidently
taken a good line on Jeffries' style of
fighting and cunning Jim is doubtless of
the opinion that the face of the Orange
Grove champion would be just the size
of target which could be hit repeatedly
bv a clever boxer Corbett is also aware
of the fact that ducking from Jeffries'
telegraphic left-hand swings or hooks
would not be hard task for him to per-
form.

than $4,000 for a twenty-rornd contest be-
