FORTY-SIxTH INFANTRY
Story That the Men Were Not Well
Fed Denied

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-General
Shafter at San Francisco has tele-
graphed the War Department as fol-
lows in regard to an examination which
was instituted by him into a published
report that the Forty sixth Infantry
had not been properly supplied with
food, and had been compelled to beg
on their trip to San Francisco:
Have had thorough investigation
by Colonel Maus in reference to the
complaints of members of the Forty
sixth Volunteers begging at Ogden and
complaining of food The commanding
offlcers of each section say this is un-
true; that the men were not permitted
to straggle from the train. 1t is pos
slole, of course, that some men NAV
nave escaped the vigilance of their Of
hcers, and made complaints. The Col
onel states that he started with ten
days travel rations complete. with a
car Tor hot coffee on each section; that
he was eleven days in reaching here n

sponslble. In response to his telegram

THORNE AN EASY MARK.
LASTS BUT A MINUTE BEFORE
FITZSIMMONS.
Did Not Land a Single Blow, and
Made But One Attempt to
Lead With His Left.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Jeff Thorne of
England was knocked out by Bob Fitz-
simmons in one minute of fighting at
Tattersalrs tonight. Thorne, who was
evidently very much afraid of Fitzsim-
mons, did not land a single blow, and
only made one light attempt to lead
by several inches.
The blow delivered by Fitzsimmons
was short left jolt, which did not
pass through six inches of space be-
fore landing on Thornes jaw
After Thorne was counted out FitZ-
simmons picked him up bodily and car
ried him to his corner, placing him on
a chair, which Sam Fitzpatrick who
had been confident of Thornes victory,
had placed hurriedly on the platform.
Round 1-Fitzsimmons began feint-
ing and Thorne appeared afraid and
kept away. Fitzsimmons led with his
left and missed. Fitzsimmons landed
his left hard on the chest. Fitzsim-
mons landed left on the face, tented
with his right and missed right for
the head. Fitzsimmons landed a left
on the jaw, knocking Thorne down and
out
Time of fight, one minute.
Thorne, after being carried to his
corner, was surrounded by a group of
friends, who labored anxiously to bring
him to. He was drenched repeatedly
with cold water, Fitzsimmons in the
meantime standing by, anxiously doing
what he could for the vanquished man
Thorne was held in his chair by Sam
Fitzpatrick, and although able to move
slightly, was as dead to the world as
when he lay on the mat. He was in his
corner twelve minutes, and was then
carried from the ring by his seconds,
unable to walk, but having cegained q
small measure of intelligence AS he
was carried through the ropes he roll
ed his head wearily toward Fitzpatrick
and said it was chance blow The
right side of his jaw where Fitzsim-
mons struck him was badly swollen
Fitzsimmons fought with all his old
time fire, and was as spry and shifty
on his feet as he had ever been. He
appeared many pounds overweight for
his proper coalition. but was quick as
lightning with his hands, and no vic
tory ever came to him through more
brilliant work than this. His feinting
was extremely rapid, and his blows
shot in SO fast that Thorne was beaten
at the start.
The bout was to have been for six
rounds, and it was generally believed
that Thorne, on account of his showing
against Craig and Mccoy, would be
able to last, if not the limit, at least
three rounds

WON ON A KICK.
How a French PugiIist Defeated
His Opponent.

PARIS, Oct. 2S.-The fight for 25,-
600 francs between Charlemont,
Frances champion, and Jerry Dris-
coll, former champion of the British
navy, this afternoon resulted in vic
tory for the former. There was a great
crowd and the fighting was hot for six
rounds. In the eighth round Driscol
was knocked out by a smashing kick
on the leg, the Frenchman being al
lowed to use his feet, in accordance
with the French custom. The seats
sold as high as $40 each.
The Englishmen and several French
men protested against the decision be-
ing given in favor of Charlemont, but
the majority greeted the announcement
with wild shouts of triumph and cries
of 'Fashoda"
The Englishmen who witnessed the
fight declare that it was the most gro
tesquely unfair contest from beginning
to end. The umpires were both French
men, and one of them actually was
Charlemont's father. The match was
supposed to be under the Queensbery
rules, but kicking in the groin" was
barred.
The ring was five and a half yards
square. The contest consisted of two
minute rounds, with intervals of one
minute and ten seconds.
The Frenchman was no match for
Driscoll, who pounded his opponents $
face to a jelly, and finally got him in
chancery, but he Immediately released
him, crying out: He has bitten my
lip"
Driscoll, however, tackled him again,
whereupon the crowd jeered and hooted
him, nobody knew why. Finally Dris-
coll, hearing some one shout Time"
stopped, and the uproar increased.
One of the umpires threatened TO
withdraw, whereupon a Frenchman in
the crowd arose and said he would act
as umpire This led to a discussion
lasting four minutes, giving Charlie
mont, who was groggy, time to recover
for the second round, during which
Charlemont was again punished, and
the round was stopped before time ex
pired, Charlemont being out of breath.
RoWdy disputes lasted during the in
terval, until Charlemont was ready for
the third round, in which Driscoll drew
blood and landed on the Frenchman's
wind, sending Charlemont reeling time
and again until the round was unfairly
called.
The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
rounds were repetitions of the fore
going, though Charlemont succeeded in
getting in a few kicks. In the eighth
round Charlemont landed an upward
kick on Driscoll's groin. Driscoll ap-
pealed to the spectators against this
foul hit, and then doubled up in agony
and was carried out of the ring.
A joyful yell of ''Vive Ia France
came from the crowd, and a number
of people rushed into the ring and took
Charlemont in their arms and kissed
him and proclaimed him the victor
The fight lasted an hour. Charlie
mont takes the $4,000 francs.

freshmen this afternoon in fast game

At the kickoff Captain Raitt began
sending his men through the line. Trae-
ger and McFadden made wide gaps in
the Berkeley line, and it looked for j
while like cardinal" procession. 1t
was not until the ball rested upon Cal
ifornias 35-yard line that the blue and
gold got a chance to turn the tables.
1t went to them on Stanford tumble,
and Mclean, after trying to make re-
turn punctureS in the Stanford line,
gave. 1t up as bad, and turned the ball
over to Valentine to punt.
Raitt caught his 30-yard punt and
ran in fifteen. Then began once more
the cardinal line bucking. Parker car
ried the ball through for 10 yards in
four successive bucks. Smith added
five and then eight. The ball was car
ried to California's 20-yard line, where
it went to them on downs.
The game resolved itself into fumb-
ling and punting exhibition, with Cali
fornia doing the punting. The first half
ended with the bail on Stanford's 40
yard line.
At the beginning of the second half
it looked pretty we'll for California.
Valentine handled his kicks in Varsity
form. Muir made a 5-yard plunge, and
Robinson followed it for two more. But
Valentines last punt was too long. The
ball rolled over the Stanford line for a
touchback, and the touchback was the
signal for the Cardinals reawakening
A series of punts and runs brought
the ball to California's 25-yard line.
Smith took five yards at a plunge,
Roberts was dragged along for seven,
and so it went up to the California
2-yard line. Here the blue and gold
rallied and rallied fercely. On the
first down Roberts bucked hard and
gained one yard. The California men
were on their knees. Smith took the
oval and shot over the tackles, but
Mclean and Muir caught him and
drove him back. On the third down
Smith bucked again. When the pile
was removed the ball was resting
squarely upon the goal line, and
Referee Oliver gave Stanford the touch
down. Roberts kicked the goal.
The line up was as follows:
