YACHTS RACE
ON SPRECKELS LAKE WATERS
Wind Is All That Can Be Desired, but
Rain Interferes With
PaSfinle

The members of the San Francisco
Model Yacht Club picked a poor day
for the opening of the racing season
yesterday at Spreckels Lake, Golden
Gate Park. 1t was an ideal day for
racing as far as the wind was con-
cerned, but the rain made it impos-
sible 70 finish all the races.
The honors were carried off by w.
Roeckner's Apache, which won three
out Of five races. Second honors went
to B. Jurgens Bulletin, which won
the other two races.
The Apache also had the distinction
of making the fastest time Of the day.
The Piute. owned by Forrest, made
the second best time. The Apache and
Piute are both scows and not much
to be looked at, but their time was
much better than that of their trim
rner looking rivals.

BRITT TRAINS
IN Good FORM
PIeases a Large Attend
ance of Friends That
Visits Him at Alameda
C0RBETT ON THE ROAD
The Little Champion Goes al
Unusual Distance for His
Days Conditioning Work

A large crowd from this city visited
Jimmy Britt yesterday at his Alameda
training quarters despite the inclement
weather. The Californian went through
his work with a dash and snap which
indicated the high development of his
physical condition. He weighed 13415
pounds before he commenced his work
In the morning he went on the road for
a short run. He did no boxing, and will
probably cut 1t out entirely to prevent
possible injury to his hands. He
punched the bag for some time and put
extra steam into his blows.
While BTitt's muscles all show the
developing work to which they have
been subjected, the casual visitor is i'm
pressed particularly with his neck
muscles. These stand out in knots, as
though meant as a possible protection
against a knockout blow.
Britt's arms look big and his should
ers and chest are also impressive He
has none of the gauntness which it was
expected would show toward the end of
his training. When he takes off five
to make sure of his weight on Friday,
he may take on a tucked-up appear
ance.
He showed great strength yesterday
while roughing it with Frank Rafael.
He forced the latter all around the i'm
provised ring and would not let him
make a stand.
Britt kept up a continual fire of fun
ny remarks while he was working. His
favorite proverb is, THE pen is
mightier than the sword, but the box
ing glove brings home the most
money"
Both Britt and Corbett were interest
ed spectators last night at the Or
pheum, where moving pictures show
ing the rival boxers in training were
thrown on the screen.
Corbett went on the road yesterday
and covered nearly sixteen miles. He
did no work in the afternoon.

BASEBALL MINES WILL PLAY
TO-DAY AT RECREATION PARK
Large Sunday Crowd Visits Eighth
Street Grounds, But Inclement
Weather Prevents Game.

All one needed to prove the eagerness
of the fans to see a ball game after the
long let-up in this city wa1 trip to
Recreation Park yesterday afternoon,
where Chicago and San Francisco
were to have played the first exhibition
game of the season. With only slight
intervals of clear weather the enthu-
siasts still hoped kind fate would de-
cree sunshine at the last moment and
they went to the grounds in hordes de-
spite the showers that descended for a
full hour before the time for play. At
o'clock it was seen the grounds would
be unfit for immediate use and the dark
skies did not portend decent after
noon, so the crowd was turned back
and the ball tossers returned to their
hotels.
Manager Harris had little surprise
up his sleeve, however, and those who
wanted to see the big league club in ac-
ton will not be disappointed If the
weather will permit games to-day and
tomorrow. Manager Selee announced
that he was not due to appear against
Seattle at Sacramento until next We'd
resday and could stay over here if
Harris cared to show on those dates.
Harris did care and the matches were
straightway arranged to be called at
o'clock.
AS Harris may be able to dicIer for
one or more Of Chicago's extra men
the games, will have an added interest.
Selee has not actually given a promise
to that effect. but he has had several
long conferences with the local magnate
and it is known such a thing was dis
cussed. Otto Williams, the young In
fielder, who has been sought by several
of the major leagues, is the one most
fancied by Harris
William Clancy, Oakland's new first
baseman, arrived from the East last
night and will join the team at Hanford
tomorrow. He is a raw-boned six
footer and comes with the reputation Of
being an extra good man. Clancy was
to have Joined the Chicago Nationals
this spring and $1,000 was offered for
his release, but he chose to play in Cal
ifornia as he did not relish the idea OF
possible bench duty and could not see
where his opportunity to displace

George Miller Covers Intruder With
Gun and Turns Him Over to Police.
George Miller, 324 Utah street, held
a daring burglar at bay with a shot
gun last night until relieved of his
charge by the police. The burglar, who
was recognized by the officers as
James Gibson, a teamster, was at
tempting to enter Miller's residence
through a rear window and was dis
covered bv Mrs. Miller.
She told her husband of the mans
presence and the latter hastily secured
his shotgun and started after the fell
low Gibson, in the meantime, climbed
on the roof of an adjoining house
Miller followed him and, covering him
with the shotgun, commanded him to
come down and into his house
The burglar begged pitifully for
mercy and prayed Miller not to shoot
him He obeyed his captor's command
and went into the house, covered by
Miller. The police were telephoned for
and locked Gibson up in the Seven
teenth-street station on charge of
attempt to commit burglary.

ODELL GIVES
WAY TO PLATT
Politicians Confer and
Agree That the Senator
Shall Direct the Party
PEACE REIGNS AGAIN
Understanding Provid e s
Neither Leader Shall In
terfere in Any Contests

NEW YORK, March 2o.-At a confer
ence held tonight by Senator Platt,
Governor Odell, the chairman Of the
Republican State Committee, and many
other prominent Republicans, after an
exchange of views and statements by
Senator Platt and Governor Odell, it
was unanimously agreed that Senator
Plat should remain as he has been in
the past, the active leader of the party.
1t was further agreed that in contests
for ieaderships in the party there
should be no interference in favor of
or against any one either by Senator
Platt or Governor Odell
The result of the conference was
generally interpreted as being equiv
alent to a complete settlement of all
points at issue between Governor
Odell and Senator Platt, the basis of
the compact being the acceptance by
the Governor of the offer of the
craftsmanship of the State Committee.
This is said to have been the point
for which the Governor was contend
ing, and in return for the concession
he willingly conceded allegiance to
Senator Platt as the recognized leader
of the Republican organization Of the
State.
Senator Platt after the conference
said:
THE atmosphere has been cleared
absolutely as a result of the plain
talk we had to-day. Republicans in
New York State had good cause for
alarm up to noon to-day. 1t looked
as If the party might go to the devil.
but all that has been avoided I do
not think anything could have brought
together the large number of leaders
from all parts of the State which met
with me to-day and later met the
Governor, aside from myself and one
or two others who put the success of
the party above all personal consid-
erations. ] shall return to Washing
ton tomorrow and about Wednesday
l intend to go 10 Aiken, S. c., for a
rest"
Governor Odell said:
Il have agreed to accept the chair
manship of the Rublican State COM
mittee, and will be found working
side by side with Senator Platt for
party success"
Are we to look to you as our
leader?' inquired a friend.
mo, you are to look to Senator
Platt," he replied.

of Their Fears by the Timely Ar
rival of Firemen.
Smoke issuing from one OF the rooms
on the upper floor Of the Russ House
caused ten minutes Of excitement
among the guests Of that hostelry yes
terday afternoon and resulted in an
alarm being turned in to the Fire De-
partment.
An investigation developed the fact
that a careless Iodger had left. a lighted
Turkish cigarette lying on a bureau,
down which flames eventually were
communicated to the carpet. The fur
niture in the room was rapidly taking
on a pyrotechnical appearance when
the occupant of an adjoining apart
ment scented smoke and, rushing out
into the hallway, gave the cry OF
fire which aroused the entire hotel
For a time there was a small sized
panic in the hotel, but the timely ar
rival Of a chemical engine and the
prompt quenching of the blaze soon
pacified the guests, who returned to
their rooms and began to rearrange
their property, which they had hurried
ly gathered together preparatory to
flight. The damage was about $50.
