CHANGE A RULE
American League Magnates Re-
scind the FOul-Strike Clause
Adopted by Them Last Year

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Owners of the
American Baseball League at their an
nual meeting to-day rescinded the foul
strike rule adopted last year as an ex-
pertinent. They declared in favor of a
schedule of 154 games in order to meet
the extension of the National League
schedule. The playing season will open
on April IL.
The National League officially de-
clared in favor of the foul-strike rule.
and it is the belief that trouble will be
experienced before a rule satisfactory
to both leagues can be agreed on.
The affairs Of the Pacific Coast
League came UP for discussion during
the meeting but the question was re-
ferred to President Johnson, who was
given power to act for the American
League in any attempt that might be
made TO get the Independent league on
the coast to join with the organiza-
tions east of the Rocky Mountains

Lightweight, Falls Heir to
a Fortune of Fifty Thousand
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

BUTTE. Mont, Dec. 17-Fred Began,
one Of the famous California light
weights Of his time, will soon come
into possession Of $4,000 in cash. He
was in Butte for short time to-day,
but left on the afternoon train for San
Francisco. where he is to receive the
money. Began has settled down in Bel
grade, and as soon as he receives his
fortune he will erect a hotel in that
prosperous little town in the Gallatin
Valley.
Began was not made aware of his
good luck until after an extended
search had been made for him. About
three months ago he located at Bel
grade, and an attorney came from San
Francisco to negotiate with him. There
was some talk Of a law suit among the
heirs, but q compromise was reached
and Began agreed to take $4,000 for
his interest.
The estate to which he is an heir has
been appraised at 5000. .0OO It consists
mostly of business property in the CEN
trail portion Of San Francisco. The es-
tate was left by Charles Began, an un-
Gle OF the fighter. Charles Began was
among the California argonauts, he
having arrived in the Golden State in
lS4S. He made will in 1856, but it was
never found, so when he died about
four months ago he was declared in
testate. He left widow.
Fred Bogaris most notable ring con-
test took place in San. Francisco in
1859, when he fought Dal Hawkins sew
enty-hve rounds to a draw. He had

The Restaurant Keepers AssOcia-
ton and the Cooks and Walters

ences and the agreement for the COM
ing year will be signed by both par
ties. The agreement is substantially
like the old one. TIE association
yielded to the demand for union
houses, but the clause relative to the
hiring of men through the offices of
the unions was stricken out.
F. A. Krone. proprietor of the Pop
ular Restaurant on Geary street. and
from the association, have opened up
their restaurants as independent
houses Krone demands the right to
be captain of the ship" Johnson
says he will be the only walking del

There was a large crowd of union
piclets in front of JohnsOn's restau-
rant yesterday and they loudly shout
ed that it was IAN unfair house" A
squad of policemen were kept busy
keeping the crowds moving and pre-
venting disturbances. The boycott is
on in full force and the pickets are
trying to keep the hungry away from
the eating-house.
The cloakmakers are still out and
also using boycOtting tactics to injUre
the various cloak houses. There was
a clash in front of the Pacific Cloak
and Suit House yesterday and eight
men were arrested. They are William
Reed. f. E. Silner, Francis Morgan,
Frank Silverstein, Arthur J. Duffy,
William Plusker, Meyer Blaskfeld
and Louis Eaton.

other pickets took up the cry that il
was a fair house" This continued
for some time and then both sides
came to blows. The police separated
the combatants and took eight into
custody.

WILDCAT
As A PRESENT
Joseph Nolan Receives Novel
Christmas Donation From
James Sargent of San Jose
REFUSES TO BECOME TAME
Animal Taken Captive Near
GilrOy After a Desperate
Battle With Two Hunters

Joseph Nolan, the welI-knOwn sports
man and shoe merchant, is re-
ceiving his Christmas presents
at an early date this year. On
Wednesday evening an expressman
arrived at his place Of business with
bulky package. Nolan thought it might
be an automobile or perhaps swell
music box. When he tore on the
wrappings he jumped ten feet by actual
count. for instead of a piece Of mer-
chandise the little token proved to be
a wildcat which was even more ferO-
cious than his name implies.
On little card attached to the cage
was a brief note to Mr.. Nolan from
James A. Sargent of San Jose. In
few words Mr.. Sargent explained how
he had captured the animal ut the risk
of his life and hoped the token would
be gratefully received and kept as a
remembrance.
Mr.. Nolan is trying to figure out what
he will do with the strange pet. He
is a fierce one and refuses to make
friends with any one. The only thing
he will do is eat. He is possessed OF
an appetite that is beyond description
and he puts all kind OF edibles under
his belt.
Sargent had a lively experience with
the beast. He captured him near Gil
roy On Tuesday evening after bitter
fight. Sargent was on a hunting trip
and ran across the cat in a quails nest.
The animal did not observe the ap-
proach of the hunter and the latter
made UP his mind to capture the ami
NAL
He made a grab for him. but the
beast fought back. He sprang at Sar-
gent and the latter was having a fierce
fight when GeC$~e Baumgarteu arrived
on the scene and the two meE finally
managed to tie the cat and put him
into a cage.
The beast is an exceptionally large
one. of a spotted gray color and very
lively. Nolan is at present undecided
as to what he will do with his Christ
mas gift. Several people have offered
to buy him for exhibition purposes, but
so far Nolan has refused all the offers.

finest warships a1oat were built at
San Francisco. No better work, he
said. was ever seen than that now

.IEAVI BETTING
is EXPECTED
Opening Odds in the COrbett-
Hanlon Fight Will Prob
ably Be Ten to Eight
BOOKIES FANCY DENvERITE
Price May Go to Even Money,
According to the Reports
as to the Boxers Condition

The Young Corbett-Eddie Hanlon
championship boxing bout, which is set
for the 18th inst, is already creating
lot Of discussion. 1t will undoubtedly
be a heavy betting affair, as the East
ern bookmakers are expected to back
Corbett to a man. while Hanlon has an
army Of friends to make good his end Of
the wagering.
Harry Corbett, who is an excellent
judge of prices, when asked what the
opening betting would be- said: IF the
admirers Of Young Corbett believe him
to be in condition for a hard fight
think the Denver man will open an to
10 choice. The price will probably fuc-
tuate between that and even money,
according TO the condition of the two
men as they appear in training"
Young Corbett eased up in his boxing
yesterday after the fierce work of the
previous day. He went through his va
riOus exercises, except the work with
the gloves.
Eddie HanlOn is accustoming himself
to hard knocks at Alameda, giving and
taking severe blows in training. East
ern writer's are OF the opinion that if
he carries the war to Corbett and fights
him in the manner he fought Yanger
the champion viii retain his title
as that is his favorite style Both
boxers will be in such improved form
over that shown al their last meeting
that a comparison cannot be drawn.
Corbett viii, if anything, be in better
form than when he fought McGovern.
HanlOn win be better than at any pre-
viOus time in his career and If he has
Corbett in distress at any stage of the
journey he viii not give him a chance
10 recover. as he did last February.
With Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett.
Gardner. Johnson, Ferguson. Seiger.
Weinig and a host of good old has
beens laid away on the shelf, the box
ing promoters have few attractive
fights in sight. For this reason it is
expected a determined effort will be
made to match the winner of this fight
with Britt. The featherweights will
weigh in a o'clock at 129 pounds. This
will mean a ringside weight of 131
pounds. As Britt fights at 133 pounds
ringside, there is but little room for ar
gument
Britt is five feet six inches tall and
has reach Of siXty-fve and half
inches.
Corbett is five feet three inches tall
and his reach is sixty-five inches.
Hanlon is five feet five inches tall
and measures sixty-seven inches from
tip 10 tip.
Terry MCGOWAN is five feet three and
a half inches tall and has a reach of
siXty-five and a half inches.

SELECTION OF POLICE
CAPTAIN IS IN DOUBT

The results of the civil service ex-
aminations of Heutenants Of police for
promotion to caDtaincies afforded a
theme for considerable discussion
among the policemen yesterday. There
is only one vacancy at present. 1t was
caused by the death of Captain Bird
sail. Lieutenant Duke having obtain
ed the highest percentage, would in
the natural order Of things I'LL the
vacancy.
The charter, however, gives the Po-
lice Commissioners the power to Sc
leet any one of the three highest on
the list certified to by the Civil Ser
vice Commissioners to fill a vacancy.
Lieutenants Burnett and Gleeson fol-
low Duke in the order named and the
fortunate one can be selected from
these three. The Police Commission
ers, for some reason, recently asked
the opinion of City and County AttOr-
ney Lane on this provision of the
charter and he told them they had this
power of selection.

until we could not grant it, Now it has
