BOXERS ARE
READY FOR
THE ARENA
Heavyweights Russell and
Van Buskirk to Meet To-
Morrow Night.

The winter season of boxing will be in
augurated by the National Athletic Club
at Woodward's Pavilion tomorrow night.
An attractive card has been prepared, the
principal bout being between the only
brace of heaVy-weights on the coast AS
boxers are always supposed to attract
spectators in keeping with their weight
these men should have a mighty house,
Russell will enter the ring weighing
about 210 pounds, while Van Buskirk will
scale over 200. This will be Russell's first
appearance on this coast, and he should
be thoroughly tried out by Van Buskirk.
The latter is a seasoned boxer, having
met among others Steiner, Kennedy and
Jeffries. 1t was only to the superior abil-
ity of the present champion that he struck
his colors.
Russell placed himself in the hands of
the veteran, Alex Greggains, some weeks
ago and has proved an apt pupil. They
have boxed together every afternoon and
Russell has shown marked aptitude for
the game, and his mentor expects him to
make a good showing; He is strong, fast
and willing, and If he wins tomorrow
night he will have a promising future as
a boxer.
Van Buskirk has not been idle and is
pronounced fit for any kind of a bout.
He did a lot of preparatory work at his
home in Marysville, and then put the
finishing touches on at the Seal Rock
House on the ocean beach. From all in
dications the bout should be a merry one
while 1t lasts. 1t is not expected to go
the limit when two such willing boxers
face one another.
What the big fellows will lack in agility
and Quickness should be supplied by
"Rufe" Turner and Jimmy Reilly.
This will be Turner's first appearance
here, while Reilly is an old favorite. Both
are clever lightweights.
Billy Jordan, the veteran master of
ceremonies, will referee both bouts These
will be the first important ones he has
passed upon In some time but he has
kept well in practice deciding minor
matches. The seating at Woodward's Pa
Vilion has been rearranged with the idea
of giving better view Of the ring

good start. Waring rushed to the front
and showed the way to the dip with all
the others close up. At this point Brig
adler made his run, and drawing away
without trouble, came on and won under
wraps by three lengths. Pupil took the
place by a neck from Montanic. Leando
took the Fairview, ridden out, from
Tanner and Holland. Tanner was the
favorite, but was poorly handled by
Dangman. Results:

it in rolling waves. There was something
Plutonic in the air. Men and women ran
oncoming fire, gesticulating wildly and
shouting discordantly, lending a demoniac
reality to the Internal ensemble.
When the flames first leaped over the
ridge in the afternoon Roadmaster John
Baker of the narrow gauge line sent TWEEN
ty-f1ve section men to night them: The
railroaders were reinforced soon after by
another force Of twenty-five men hired
by z. H. PiXley of Corte MADEIRA. All the
male residents Of the town and of Lark
spur Joined them in an attempt TO back
fire the advance coming faster and faster.
The alarm grew as the gale roared and
the fire leaped heavenward Pillars Of
smoke rose high TO conceal the blood-red
sun, and clouds OF dust were whirled
through the canyon. The fire was coming
from the southwest right-in the teeth OF
the gale, that was blowing not less than
campers in Baltimore Canyon. Miss Nellie
Baker and Miss Sylvia Campbell of 047
Minnesota street, this city, and their
goods were moved at once to Larllspur
San Rafael and A Silva Of Corte MADEIRA
volunteered their services and their eX-

holders TO Larkspur, where, though the
flames threatened to reach It, they might
be safe for a breathing time. Messrs. II.
Metzler and J. Herzog of the Larkspur
Hotel gave storage to much of the hast
lily moved furniture, while the remainder
was stacked In piles along the county
road.
The wind died down a little toward
dusk. and although 1t was still blowing to
the fire the confiagration grew and roared
and advanced, until al dusk 1t reddened
the sky until it could be seen as far as
San Francisco, fifteen miles away. At 8
o'clock ii was reported that nothing could
stop the rush of the fire down Baltimore
Canyon and that the houses of the follow
ing were doomed: Attorney z. c.. Chap
man, George Wall, NJ. Gilligan, Joseph
Sinms. Charles Wilson, Miss O'Connor,
John OConnor, DR.. Bliss, Miss Adams,
Walter Peterson, Dr. Card. Peter s.
Conke, William Jackson, A. F.. Sheldon
and z. H. and II. l.. PiXley. At Chap
mans the women folk had torn up all the
carpets, and placing in them many arti-
cies of value they could not very well
carry, buried them in a hastily dug hole
in the soft loan, TO be dug up again when
the expected fires sweeping toward their
home had been finally eXtinguished.
On the Coleman-Forbes tract John
Wade, wealthy land owner, had twenty
five men engaged back-fring in order to
check the advance of the flames to his
property, near Alto station. Owners Of
cattle were driving their herds out on the
county road out of reach of danger.

1t looked as If five straight favorites
might tramp down the line at Oakland
track yesterday, but it would seem that
nothing is certainty in racing. In the
second paragraph of the afternoons sport
Bit OF Fashion, choice morsel of horse
flesh picked up by Burns IL WaterhouSe
in st. Louis. and considered one of the
select of the stable, started for the first
time. On looks alone she should have
been installed favorite, and the daughter
of Forest had the call over Midity at post
time. Sunello and The Buffoon were the
only other contenders. Mdity, piloted by
Ruiz, broke away in the lead and was
never headed, winning cleverly in slow
time for the Futurity course; Bit of Fash
finishing last. Sunello, at odds Of 25 to l.
after being interfered with by The Buff
foon, displayed a sharp turn of speed,
taking the place in impressive fashion.
In the concluding race of the day Mon
tallade, so to l shot, also broke the slate,
first choices capturing the other three
purses. Montallade had johnson in the
saddle, and nobody gave the sprinter a
thought, his odds drifting from u to 40
and So Young Johnson trailed Chihua-
hua and Mike Rice into the stretch, and
Looping by three lengths from the to 5
choice Chihuahua. Lavator led Mike
Rice, second choice in the betting, out for
the show.
Midlove was held at prohibitive odds In
the books to win the opening event at six
furlongs. After cutting out the pace from
the jump she beat taVerSnam q couple or
lengths. Anchored ran third.
Once more Pat Morrissey ran circles
around his field in the six and half fur
long run. Backed to to he was always
in front. and Yule, finishing second, was
unable to make him gallop. Loving Cup,
the second choice, under poor guidance
was fourth.
The only real close finish of the day oc-
Cured at the termination of the mile and
sixteenth selling affair. Opponent ruled
favorite in the betting and was fortunate,
for Reoia was plainly the best. Kept
back until the sun had set, Mounce on the
latter came with a terrific rush falling
short by a scant head. Another jump and
the decision would have been reversed.

j y afternoon around the base OF

last night the onrush of flame seemed to
threaten the destruction Of the towns Of

as II nothing could stop the roaring IN
'ferno that had mounted the ridge separat-
ing them from Mil Valley. New assist
ance rushed TO fight the fire.
At 10 o'clock, when hope seemed lost
when houses had been stripped of their
furnishings and the roadside was Uttered
with them, the clouds opened and rain
began to patter, slowly at first, faster as
the wind died down from a bowling gale
TO a gentle breeze. The ruddy glow in the
sky from the mile of fire died down and
veered to the west. where great black
storm clouds had gathered. Faster and
faster came the downpour. The previously
,panic-striclIen residents hurried back
with their household goods; the sky grew
black, the fire died down and by mid
night had been soaked so thoroughly that

smoldcred awhile in the afternoon only
to burst forth with renewed fierceness
and to wheel with a mighty roar in a
fiery attack from Warmers Canyon around

ridge that separates the valley from Bal

what portables they could, burying others
in hastily dug holes and deserving their

Of fre-fghters in a last desperate hope
that the onrush of flame might be mirac-

For those that had nothing to lose from
the conflagration the sight was magnifi-
