CORBETTS BULLETINS TO THE CALL
THE FIRST NEWS GIVEN THE PUBLIC

the intelligent wording of the bulletins
from the ringside provided an entertain
ment only second to that of being an
actual witness of the great battle.
The people of Oakland have long real
lied that they must obtain their quickest
and most reliable news from The Cali,
and in addition to furnishing the news
first to the thousands on the street Il also
supplied by telephone hundreds of people
from all over the county. For over three
hours The Call telephone did not have
ten seconds rest.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 3.-The Call scored
a ten-strike with the people of Sacramen-
to tonight by the manner in which 1t
bulletined the rounds of the Sharkey-J ef-
fries fight. For days past the San Fran
gaze of the populace posters announcing
that 1t was going to be the first in the
field with the news. However, on tniS oc-
casion. as on others, The Call showed its
superiority as a diSSeminator OF the first
and freshest news. This was accomplished
1t might be added without any preliminary
blowing Of trumpets.
The bulletins were made public at The
Call headquarters diagonaily across from
the Golden Eagle Hotel, and not since the
days when great political meetings were
held in that vicinity has such a crowd
collected. In all directions the streets
fronting the headquarters were thronged
and the street cars were moved with d2L-
ficulty. The crowd expressed many COM
pliments for The Calls promptpess and
cisco contemporary were presented in q -e
form, but they had the disadvantage of
being from minute to two minutes ate,
and with such an anxious crowd a min
utes delay meant as much as an hour.
The Call may justly claim the credit for
having kept the Sacramento people in
formed on to-night's fight ahead of all
other agencies.

OAKLAND, Nov. 3.-"Jeff wins was

instantly there was wild yell from thou
other yell block away told that the
Chronicle had discovered the news, and
some minutes still later a faint shout four
blocks away was the signal that the Ex-
aminer had learned of the fact that the
Reliance Club protege was the undoubted
champion of the world.
The fact that The Call gave the first
caused but little surprise, as such things
have long been taken as matter of
course. The success of The Calls bulletin
service was the result OF carefully
planned arrangements, and although it
did not have all the wires of the Marconi
system, ii secured the news first, and with
this fact the argument ends.
BY o'clock the bulletins began to ar
rive, and the fact that The Call had en-
gagged ex-Champion Corbett to report the
fight was sufficient to bring out a crowd
that was only limited by the confines Of
Broadway. The completeness of the de-

right on the face, splitting Jeff's nose,

planted well directed left and right jolts

this city in the meeting of Jeffries
and Sharkey was evidenced by the
mass of humanity which packed
Market street in front of The Call
building, and by the heavy wager
ing done on the contest in the local pool
rooms.
The promise of a perfect system of bull
letins made by The Call was fulfilled to
the letter. James ]. Corbett's accurate
description of the fight was by far the
pest and was at all times half a round
ahead Of those displayed by the other
papers. While the yellow kid was de-
scribing blows being delivered the magic

Call in flaming letters of light from a
cunningly concealed box on the front of
the building. The red fire was blazing

the Examiner received tardy information
that the championship battle had ended
and that the title remained in possession
of Jeffries
Corbett's knowledge of the panoe
enabled him to note the varying fortunes
of the men, and he was quick to see that
Jeffries had shade the better of the
fight throughout the majority of rounds
spectators were led to believe that Shar-
key was the better man throughout The
crowd seemed equally divided between
the two boxers, each being cheered when
1t appeared the tide of battle had turned
in his favor. Shortly before the end of
the fight rain commenced to fall, but
could not dampen the ardor of the thou
sands on the streets.
The betting was the heaviest ever done
in this city on any fight. All the pool
rooms handled lot of money, but the
bulk of it was wagered through Harry
Corbett. On Thursday night he held
$4,000 and when the night ended this had
been swelled to 100000 in the straight bet
ting. In addition to this total Of S11 ,965

A fracas occurred last night in the Hop

severe beatings, but the arrival Of the po-

points, barring the hugging.
