BOXING BOUTS AT THE
SAN FRANCISCO CLUB
DEANE AND BAKER FOUGHT
EIGHT HARD ROUNDS.
William Granfeld Stopped Wrestler
Walter Daily in a Hot Bout
That Ended in the Third
Rouno.

The San Francisco Athletic Club gave
a boxing entertainment last evening
which continued until a late hour The
feature of the programme was an eight
round contest between George Baker of
Salt Lake, 40 pounds, and Jack Deane.
the champion of the club. The bout was
one of the cleanest and best that the
members have seen for many months.
Deane's style of lighting was for the
body. while Baker devoted his attention
TO the face. The first round ended in ia
VOr of Baker, who landed several hard
lefts on Deanes face. In the second
Deane staggered Baker with a hot left
on the jaw, but the Salt Lake man re-
turned the compliment by planting sew
eral lefts on Deanes nose. The boxers
then mixed things up and in this style
Deane had certainly the best of the
game. Deane had shade the better of
The third round was stand-off The
fourth ended in Deane's favor. The fifth
was evenly contested. The sixth was
enth and eighth Baker scored a strong
lead and doubtless would have whipped
his opponent if the limit had been twelve
rounds instead of eight, as Deane was
showing signs of distress. The referee,
Jack Leahy. called the match a draw,
which decision was right.
Charley Vickers defeated Ed Coyne in
a six-round bout
Charley Thurston got a decision over

Condor clearly proved his superiority on
points and clean hitting.
kid" Johnson easily bested William
Meehan in a five-round bout.
A. Granfield defeated kid Mcdonald
in four-round go.
William Granfed fought three hard
rounds with Walter DAILY. the wrestler,
who. it is said. was instrumental in whip
ping a poor old drunk recently. but was
stopped by Granfield. who interfered in
behalf of the inebriate. Daily challenged
Granfeld, and they had it out last night.
Sufficient to say that Granfield made a
chopping block of DAILY, and the contest
was stopped in the third round when
Granfeld had DAILY all but out.

Feature of the Ladies' Night"

Ladies' night" at the Olympic Club
drew a fair attendance last evening, and
the programme rendered for the delecta-
ton of the fair sex was all that could be
desired in the way of indoor sport. Leader
Hammersmith, who had charge of the
entertainment, succeeded in providing an
attractive and we'll appreciated show.

nate boxing contests from the list of at
fractions.
The feature of the programme was the
indoor baseball game between the Olym-
pics and the Young Mems Christian As

series arranged between these teams and
the Reliance Athletic Club team for the
championship of the Pacific Coast, as by
winning the Olympics clinched their
claim to the title and took possession Of
the trophy, handsome gold cup properly
inscribed.
The entertainment opened with potato
race in which there were seven confess
tants. Lester Hammersmith, with ham

disqualified because his shoes were not
mates, or for some equally good reason

opponents to even up matters. The latter

that he was preparing to forsake Bryan
and take up Rear Admiral Schley as
candidate for the democratic presidential

Mr.. Stone further said: "I have never
heard Schleys name mentioned as a pos

I have never thought of Schley as any,

CAUSES NO APPREHENSION.
Meeting of the Presidents of the South
American Republics.

Washington, August 1.-THE meeting of
the South American presidents has not
caused any surprise or apprehension at the
state department. which was fully advised
some time ago that such a meeting would
occur and that its purposes would be con-
fined to Strengthening the commercial
bonds between South American countries.
For this reason the authorities don't
share in the belief that the meetings have
deep political significance and are
designed to bring about an alliance un-
friendly to the United States. On the con-
trary one of our ministers in a South
American country, in apprising the state
department of the contemplated meeting,
said that it would probably result not only
in commercial arrangements mutually
beneficial to South American republics but
that these benefits would probably be
shared to a considerable extent by the
United States.

Hurricane Now Rapidly Approaching
Bahama Islands

Washington, August 1.-THE West IN
dian hurricane tonight is rapidly approach
ing Nassau, Bahama islands, where the
barometer has fallen considerably since
morning and the wind had increased to a
velocity of thirty-six miles an hour at s
O'Clock this evening. Rain has been falling
all day. While there is still a possibility
that the storm may curve out to sea, the
officials of the weather bureau now ex-
press the opinion that 1t will reach the
coast of Florida and that it's influence there
may begin to be felt tomorrow morning.
Hurricane warnings have been sent out
over the state by telegraph and every meas
ure taken to put the inhabitants on their
guard. The maps on file in the weather
bureau show the course which has been
followed by the August hurricanes for the
last twenty-one years, but there appears
to be very little consistency in the direction
in which they have taken. The storm is
now travelling much slower than during the
early period of its existence the total dis
tance covered having been about 200 miles.
Its center now appears to be little south
east of Nassau.

.NDIDATES SHOOK HANDS

Moulton, August 11.-(Special.) 1.-THE Cum
ningham gubernatorial boom was PRACTICAL
ly launched yesterday. The senator from
Jefferson spoke to a crowd of 1000 citizens
of Lawrence county, ten miles from Moul-
ton, and about twenty miles from the near-
est railroad.
The occasion was the annual barbecue
given by the citizens of Lawrence county,
and at least 1000 people were present.
Though Dr. Cunningham did not make a
personal announcement of his candidacy for
governor, the fact of his having come this
far to make political speech gives rise to
the impression that he will enter the race.
This is the native county of the senator,
and yesterday was the 2Sth anniversary of
his maiden effort on the stump.
stalling's Ringing Speech
He spoke in the morning, and shortly af-
ter dinner the Hon. Jess Stalings arrived
and made a ringing speech in favor of a
better educational system and in opposi-
tion to a constitutional convention. The
invitation committee had so arranged the
affair that neither of the speakers knew
that the other would be present and when
both Stallings and Cunningham appeared
at the barbecue the situation was embar-
RAISING well as amusing.
Neither of them would talk at length on
state politics, but took up a considerable
part of the time in complimenting each
other. Cunningham took for his subject
"Our Country" and dwelt on the situation
in the Philippines and other national oues-
dons. He said that he was not yet can
didate for governor, but might be- and If he
did announce he would not be afraid TO
risk his chances with the citiezens of his
native county, Lawrence.
Stallings said that he was already can
didate for governor and had been for the
past twenty years; that he had only been
waiting for his hair to get gray enough for
him to go before the people of the state.
Cunningham should Not Interfere
He said further that he did not think
Dr. Cunningham ought to come in and de-
feat his great ambition. He would be will
ing to let the senator have the guberna-
torial chair when he get through with 1t.
Mr.. Stalings took his seat amid loud
cries of Cunningham, and the senator was
fored to make short answer to the re-
marks of the already announced candidate.
The doctor said that he was not yet in the
race, but if he did come out he would have
no compunctions of conscience about de-
feating the great ambition of Stallings.
He said that If he had been a candidate
for twenty years and hadn't yet succeeded,
he would deserve to be defeated.
After the speaking both candidates shook
hands, but soon separated and took up
the remainder of the day in log rolling.
1t is generally believed here that Cunning
ham will be candidate The citizens oS
Lawrence say that the vote of the county
will lie between Cunningham and Stallings.
