MICHAEL TOO FAST
 FOR EDDIE M'DUFFEE

PHILADELPHIA,A Aug. 6.-Jimmy Mi chael to-day defeated Eddie McDuffee in a 25-mile paced race on the Willow Grove track, but McDuffee will probably protest the race. McDuffee signed a contract to race Michael fifteen miles. The American Cycle Racing Association, however, ad- vertised the race to be twenty-five miles, and over 15, 900 persons travelled to Willow Grove to witness It. There was consider able dissatisfaction when the spectators learned that the race was to be of but fifteen miles. It was finally announced that McDuffee had consented to ride the twenty-five miles in order not to disap- point the crowd.
 There was nothing remarkable about the race and no records were broken. Dur ing the entire race neither rider got with in ten seconds of the record. Michael took the lead at the start and increased 1t to seventy-five yards at the end of the first mile one of Michael's pacing machines broke a chain, which allowed McDuffee to gain on the midget. Michael however, soon caught another fast team and at the end of the third led by 100 yards McDuf- fee then began to cut down Michael's lead until on the sixth mile Michael was but tWenty-fiVe yards in front.
 In the eighth mile Michael made a slow pick up and McDuffee had a chance to pass him, but slowed up rather than take the lead. It vas evident that neither man mar. several times hissed the riders. At the end of the eleventh mile McDuffee offered the spectators little excitement by catching fast quint and passing Michael. From the twelfth to the eighteenth mile the men '1oafed." On the nineteenth Mi chael spurted and regained the lead. From here to the finish the race became excit- ing Both men did their best Michael led by fifty yards. at the beginning of the tweFy-fifth mile. Try as he would the Boston boy could not catch the little rider and Michael crossed the tape winner by thirty yards.

spsclal Dispatch to The Call.

:: SAUSALITO. Aug. 6.-Fire broke
 out at 9 o'clock this morning in the :. genaral merchandise establishment of . Antoine Lawrence, situated in the nGrthern part of town, and before the flames could be subdued several houses and their contents were destroyed. The .saddast- feature of the affair was the death of a laborer named Manuel Souza Bertencourt. He was run over Gy the fire truck and injured so badly that his death occurred in less than an hour.
 Among the first to perceive the flames
 was Night Watchman Chester Johnson, who blew the whistle on the ferry boat
 San Rafael and afterward rang the
 church bells. The streets were soon
 filled with an excited crowd. AS the
 fire truck was hurrying to the 7cene BettencouTt, in trying to get out of the
 way. stumbled and fell. The wheels paSsed over his chest.
 - strong wind was blowing from the northwest, and by valiant work the progress of the fire was stayed after
 three hours fighting. If it had not been. for the steam fire engine of the - NOEth-PacifiC Railway Company an eX- -tEnsiVe. migration would have re- suited.
