WALKER-KENNEDY FIGHT.
A Rafting Mill Looked for To-
Morrow Night.

The arrival of Joe Kennedy who is to
fight Soldier Walker on Friday night,
has given renewed interest to the COM
ing event. Kennedy had been training
in San Francisco, and is putting on the
finishing touches at East Park, where
large crowds congregate daily to see
him work out.
The training consists chiefly Of road
work. which he does in the Enclosure at
the park. He travels around the road
way fifteen or twenty times, distance
of about sixteen miles, after which he
| takes a shower and rundown by
his trainers. In the afternoon he con-
fines himself to the gymnasium His
work consists of eight fast rounds of
boxing with his trainers, ten three-min-
ute rounds at the punching bag, and he
finishes by jumping the rope and dumb
bell exercise.
This constitutes his work for the day.
He is already in shape to fight at
moments notice, but will work up to
the last moment, as he expects to have
hard fight on his hands.
The hackers of Soldier Walker have
more confidence in him than ever be-
FORE as he has trained faithfully for
the fight of his life, and it is the opin-
ion of many who have watched him in
his work that he will win. Kennedy
realizes that he is going against good
man and is putting forth every effort
to go into the ring in prime condition.
The betting has not settled down to
any fixed odds as yet. Walkers friends
are waiting to get the best odds obtain
able. The fact that the Sacramento
Athletic Club has charge of the match
is assurance that the best man will win.
The winner of this match will be in
demand in the East, and they will both
put forth their best efforts and ring
knowledge to win. A large delegation
is expected up from San Francisco to-
witness the contest.
Charles Sweeny of San Francisco, the
famous baseball umpire, has been Sc
lected as referee. His decisions on the
diamond have always met with the
public's approval, and his love for fair
sport has secured for him the conf
oence of the public.

gifts ON THEIR METTLE.
Sacramentos to Play Big League
Outfit To-Day.

At Recreation Park in San Francisco
this afternoon, the Gilt Edge ball team
of this city will line up against the
National League California CRACKS
who during the past season have ca
vorted around ON Eastern diamonds
The local champions will be in swift
company, but as they are inclined to
be somewhat fast themselves, it is dol
lars to doughnuts that they give good
account Of themselves.
For the ALL Californians who Will
try to show the local team how to play
the game, Chance, the Fresno boy VINO
did such good work behind the pat
for Chicago, will play that POSITION
and Jay Hughes, who won the pennant
for Brooklyn Cor Youngey Johnsoh)'
will do the pitching. Mertes Will pc al
the initial, and Hennie Reitz, who mas
entirely recovered, and will be with
Baltimore next year, will play back Oh
second. Kid Hulen, who has not peen
seen here for number of years, but VINO
is still as fast as a streak, Will play a.
third, and Pop" Lochhead, who last
year graduated from the local team
and had the misfortune to play last
season with the "Exiles," will be at
short Mccarthy will do the trick III
left field, and George Van Haltren VIII
play his usual position, center HELD
while old Phil Knell will guard the
territory behind the initial.
And such is the team the Gifts Will
go up against to-day. George Harper
will try out either Hughes or Johnson
in the box; Matt Stanley will try to
show Chance that there are others
when it comes to throwing to pases'
Big Mike O'Connor will try to give
Mertes few pointers on how to play
first base, and Stulz will initiate Hen
ME Reitz into the mystery OF phenom-
email catches in short center.
''Truckerino" Eagan will endeavor 10
instill into Pop Lochhead the fact
that he isn't the only tin can on the
dump, and Tommy Sheehan, who ism
out as an understudy, may put Hulen
next to a trick or two he never heard
of in the East.
Then, in the outfield, Mclaughlin,
he of the mournful countenance ana
draw poker proelivities, will try 70
stand off Mccarthy, who is just III
tie better in the infield than he is IN
the out, and "Old Pony" Shanahan Will
try to get under as many impossible
flies as the great Van Haltren- Last,
but not least, Harvey, the graceful
blonde of the horned-toad district, VIII
show old Phil Knell, whose specially
is turning points in the pitchers pox'
how to throw the ball from deep right
to the home plate to nip a runner
To-days game ought to be great
one and a lot of rooters from this city
will see it.

STANDING OF MICE IN LAW.
Iheir Presence in a Bed Proved Ac-
tual Residence in n Land Case.

From the Spokane Review.
The land contest case in which a family
OF mice played a prominent part has been
decided on the appeal of Binger Hermann,
commissioner of the general land office at
Washington. The rodents are not men
toned in the decision, but the man who it
was claimed allowed the mice to establish
a residence in his bed is allowed to retain
possession of his homestead the ruling OF
the local land office being reversed and The
contest dismissed. A peculiar feature OF
the case is that when the family of mice
was first mentioned it was commended that
their presence in the bed of the entryman
argued an abandonment of the homestead
and the local land office apparently took
me same view of the matter. But when
the decision was appealed from It was set
up that the presence of the mice was an
argument in favor of the homesteader
Fred Q. Grutt was the entryman, having
taken up a homestead near Davenport
three years ago. Last August John ONeI
instituted a contest to the homestead en-
try, alleging that Grutt had abandoned his
claim, did not keep up a continuous resi-
dence thereon and that the only inhab-
tants of the shanty on the ranch were a
family of mice. After hearing the case
the register and receiver decided that
Grutts entry should be Cancelled. From
this decision Grutt had sixty days in
which TO file an appeal to the commission
er at Washington
The appeal was filed by Leo Walton, at
torney for Grutt. In the appeal the mice
family were referred to as follows: II
there were any mice in the entryman's
bed, during the early part of September,
1898, IL plainly shows that the entryman
did have bed on the land at the time
The house mouse is known to be a do
nestle animal that multiplies In A few
weeks, and which has been known to have
slept and given birth to its young not only
in the same room, but actually in the I'M
derticking of the same bed with very re-
spectacle and otherwise law-abiding clti-
zens, who were seldom absent from their
homes at night. Indeed, the house that IS
free from this little pest is the exception,
and, as rule, would speak eloquently for
the service rendered by the feline members
of the household. The careful housewife
who moves a small piece of furniture or
other article in her rooms which has been
permitted to remain in that position for
few days and who has not been compelled
to hastily mount a chair in the middle OF
the room and remain there until rescued
by reason of the sudden appearance, or.
rather, disappearance, of a mouse, must
always have been resident of Mars-that
being one of the very few places which
the naturalist tells us, is not adapted 10
