Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Sept. 2.-Lovers of ring
fighting were rudely shocked tonight
when Cocker Tweedie, the Australian.
was knocked out by Sammy Maxwell of
Los Angeles in the opening of the second
round. The audience that only partly
illed the Avon Theater, cried "Fake!
and so it looked to a large number.
Charley Oliver, one of the club man
ayers, was referee, and declared all bets
OF on the ground that 1t was a fake.
Tweedie had his right hand up to his face
guarding when Maxwell got in a right
hook on the chin and the Australian went
down, but did not fall as Imply as the
experts thought he should. When helped
to his corner he seemed dazed bit. but
with the exception of the San Francisco
fellows, who were backing Maxwell as
one Of their own, the decision was ac-
cepted as right. Oliver afterward an
nounced that the club would not pay
either end Of the purse. and stuck TO his
de cision declaring bets off.
Tim McGra,h, who trained Sharkey,
was second for Tweedie. and made pub
lie announcement that if il was a fake he
did not know il. and regretted that he
came here, anyhow. The affair has eN-
cited sportdom. but the majority who
paid for admission agree that IT was
fake.
The preliminary was between Ben Max

FOUNDERS DAY AT
THE LICK SCHOOL
1T IS OBSERVED WITH APPRO-
PIRATE EXERCISES.
Irving M. Scott Makes a Short Ad-
dress-Wilmerding School Will
Be Opened January l.

Yesterday was founders day at the
Lick School of Mechanical Arts, and the
occasion was celebrated in a manner that
would have met with the hearty approval
of the generous but practical philanthro-
pist responsible for the existence OF the
institution had he been alive and present.
The exercises were exceedingly brief and
simple.
AT 10 a. m the regents committee OF the
Wilmerding School, consisting Of Z. A.
Denicke, Albert Miller and A. S. Hallldle
the latter being also a member OF the
Lick board), made a thorough Inspection
of the school. The board was accompa-
MED on it's rounds of the institution by
President Horace Davis, Secretary James
S. Bunnell, Trustee John Q. Earl, Princi-
Manager Schwartz OF the ,Wllmerdlng
School and Irving M. Scott. Every pupil
was at his or her desk, bench, forge or
lathe, and the visitors were @ gwen ooprs- an ea-
hensive idea of the practical working OF
the school.
As the visiting officials left the work.
the pupils from their work. and they as
sembled In the lecture room, where the
formal exercises were to be held heid. II PGeS, s.
doing so paid the latter neat tribute
based on the marvellous performance or
that wonderful battleship, the oregon.
Mr. Scott spoke briefly and earnestly. He
said the credit which had been earned by
the Oregon was due to the fact that the
men who built the ship had not only lived
up to their contract but had taken
personal pride in their work, and
the praise was therefore due to them.
Mr.. Scott told of his first meeting with
James Lick He found him eating his
frugal lunch, seated at the end of his
workbench in his shop at Alviso, the same
bench that is now one of the cherished
possessions of the school. The speaker
urged the pupils to emulate the example
of the life of their benefactor. This con-
cluded the exercises, and the pupils re-
turned at once to their work and studies.
Mr. Scott was enthusiastic over the
work of the youthful cabinet and pattern
makers, and told Foreman Dewitt that he
wanted two of the young men at the
Union Iron Works Immediately.
The regents committee of the Wilmerd-
ing School held short meeting in the
Lick School during the afternoon and de-

While big Ed Corrigan snarls and growls
like an enraged beast at bay, the once
mighty Western empire over which he
formerly ruled with an iron hand is being
rent asunder. Baffied in his attempt to
corner the California racing game, he
sought to play a trump card and have his
most formidable rival, the California
Jockey Club, outlawed, through the me-
dium of the American Turf Congress, of
which he is membe~. This latter or
ganization is composed Of many of
Middle Western and Southern States,
among them being Joseph A.
Murphy sbd Fsns5, I'd Hopper cRsrIes Rees Fl PTGG T
known to local followers of the turf. Cor
rigan undoubtedly congratulated himself
that he would be right at home" and
attended fully prepared to twist the lions
tail until he was good.
At the close of the meeting yesterday
Thomas H. Williams Jr., president of the
telegram which stated that a motion had
been made before the members in session
ito outlaw all Western tracks which com
menced winter racing before November

CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-Discussion of rae
ing rules occupied the attention of the
delegates to the American Turf Congress
to-day and a number of important
changes were made. Rule IS, in which
any person or horse ruled off the track
by running association, for fraud, was
ruled off the tracks of members of the
American Turf Association, was amended
to read as follows:
Every person or horse expelled or ruled
off by any reputable running association
or by the American or National Trotting
Association shall stand ruled off the
courses of the members of this congress
during the continuance of such expulsion.
ANY association that shall knowingly
allow any ruled-off person or horse to
participate in its racing shall be out
laWed."
Another rule adopted by the congress
was that no person against whom there
are arrears shall be granted a license as
a trainer or jockey. a rule was adopted
by the congress that hereafter no en-
ployer shall get the money won by any
jockey bound to him by contract who
shall win riding outside mounts.
Much time was devoted to the troubles
existing between the racing clubs of Cal
ifornia The Pacific Coast Jockey Club
and the Western Turf Association have
been unable to agree on the dates for
cided to allow the clubs to find a solution
of the problem.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows:
vice president, James Howard Chicago
treasurer, O. 1. Bradley, Lexington, Ky;
secretary, E. C. Hopper, Covington KY
a permanent office of the congress will
be opened in Louisville and the next
meeting of the congress will be held in

ALLIsoN'S GROUSE CASE.
Game Commissioners Angry Over a
INSTRUMENTATION of Facts.

The Fish and Game Commissioners are
very much annoyed at the published mis-
representation concerning the dismissal of
the case of D. E. Allison, who was arrest
ed for violating the game law by having
grouse If his possession out of season.
The statement complained of was that
l.. M. Lewis, curator Cf the Academy of
Sciences, had testified that the birds were
not grouse, but sagehens. 1t is well
known that the sagehen is of the grouse
family, the same as a carrier pigeon is a
member of the pigeon family Scientist
Lewis testified that the birds offered as
evidence of the offense We're grouse no
matter what hunters called them.
The dismissal of the commission mer-
chant, Allison, was made by Police Judge
Graham on the ground that the accused
did not know the difference between
grouse and sagehens, buying the game for
the latter, and that there was an alb
sence of intent to do evil. The Game
Commissioners take the stand that ignor-
ance of the law is no excuse for the Of
fense.

autopsy yesterday upon the body of Will

Hospital last Wednesday night, appar-
emily of alcoholism. and found that Carr S
skull had been fractured. There is no
clew to the manner in which he was in
jured
But the most surprising part of the af-
fair is that there is no clew to the manner
in which the persons in charge of the Re
ceiving Hospital avoided discovering that
their patient was suffering from frac-
tured skull 1t is true that Carr was
drinking heavily, but if more care had
been shown in his treatment the fracture
would have been discovered and his life
might have been saved by surgical
operation.

Superior Court on the Elliott
Charge Without Bail.

The preliminary examination of Robert
L. Hunt, the degenerate, charged with
the murders of George Elliott and f. R.
Knippenberg ifN the Young America
saloon, Steuart and Howard streets, on
September 8, was held before Judge Mo-
gan yesterday. The testimony in both
cases was the same. Hunt was defended
by Attorney Archie Campbell.
The evidence of Herman Diereks. the
bartender Louis Dennert, foreman for
the Simpson Lumber Company, and others
showed that Hunt entered the saloon
and fired three shots at Elliott. and while
Elliott was PROSTATE on the floor,
he fired another shot at him. Elliott
died almost instantly. One of the bullets
struck Knippenberg, who fingered for
some days Hunt admitted to Policeman
Castor, who arrested him, that he shot
Elliott in cold blood, and was prepared
to swing for it., but that he did not mean
to shoot Knippenberg.
The Knippenberg case could not be con-
cluded without DIR. Zabaia's testimony
and 1t was continued till to-day, but Hunt
was held for the Elliott murder without

near Vallejo for catching understood
striped bass. Although the bay is full Of
fish of this kind weighing over three
pounds. the minimum weight, still the up
river fishermen persist in taking fish un-
der size. Tons of these food fish have been
confiscated this season, but the fishers
take chances, well knowing that to be
caught means punishment amounting to
more than the value of the fish.
