The fleet approached from the di'

entrance to Usuri bay, and about 81
miles southwest of Vladivostok. En-
tering Usuri bay, the enemy formed a
line of battle but did not approach TO
a closer range than a mile and one
third. They directed their fire against
the shore batteries and the town, but
no damage resulted as most of their
two hundred shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded by
Generals VernoteZ and Artamonff, did
not reply, awaiting a closer approach
of the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2O =.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

When Jimmy Whalen and Ham Iberg
get real sassy and decide to mix 1T
something is bound to be pulled off.
For years they were pals and perform
ed on the same team. Now they are
enemies and each likes to hand it out
TO the other. They hooked up at
Recreation Park yesterday and battled
and battled. with the glory evenly di-
vided till the eighth spasm, when the
Seals plucked run and helped Jimmy
triumph over Ham. Score: San Fran
cisco 1, Portland 0.
Just an hour and nineteen minutes
were whisked off from the time Wha-
len tossed the first ball over the pan
until Runkle made the final out by
flying to Waldron. Into those seventy
nine minutes We're crowded flashes of
the best and fastest baseball the
fans have feasted their eyes on in
many moons. No one erred and every
star on the rival teams was doing his
best to outshine his neighbor.
The run the Seals gathered during
the eighth round was an earned one
and worthy Of their efforts. Whalen
had been retired when Hildebrand sin
gled out to the right garden. Meany
followed with a clever drive nearly TO
the scoreboard. sending Hildebrand
around to third. Cap Irwin picked out
a fast one and sent it right through the
infleld, giving Hide ample time TO
score the only one for the day. Meany
was advanced to third on the play. A
moment later he was frozen at the
plate while trying to pull off a double
steal in company with Irwin.
The Brownies had a chance in the
seventh, but bad judgment cost them
run and possibly the game. Runkle
opened it up with smashing two
bagger to deep left and Shay singled
directly over second. Runkle started
for the pan and then changed his mind,
hesitating while a few feet from the
bag. Shay in the meantime was tear
ing into second. while Whalen had the
ball Runkle was slightly ratified and
Whalen even more so. Finally Runkle
made up his mind to run and Whalen
at about the same time decided to
throw the ball to the plate, where Run
kle was an easy out.
Shay did some startling work at
short, as did Spencer ana Anderson at
second. Both pitchers excelled their
usual stunts in the box and the game
was almost perfect one to gaze upon.
Walter Christie again used the indica-
tor and did his work we'll. The score:

BETTORS FAVOR
YOUNG CORBETT
Denverite Is Made a Strong
Public Choice Over Nelson
for Forthcoming Fight

The knowing fight fans are confident
Young Corbett will be At and ready
when he steps into the ring at Wood
wards Pavilion to give Battling Nell
son good time on the 29th inst. Cor
bett has settled down to work with a
determined air and is not overlooking
any points that might give him addi-
tional l-strength. He feels he needs all
the vitality and hitting power he can
possibly accumulate when he meets
Nelson. He realizes that If he loses
this fight he will shine no more as a
star Of the twenty-four-foot ring.
The Denverite keeps Billy Otis and
Henry Tuthill busy out at the Beach
tavern every day. He is doing all kinds
of stunts, from road running to bag
punching. and the superfiuous flesh is
gradually being shed. 1t win take only
matter of few days for the former
champion to make the weight. He an
ticipates bruising fight and is fitting
himself for just such a mixup.
Teddy Murphy. manager of Battling
Nelson. would like to match his boy
with Britt should Nelson be successful
in getting rid of Cofbett. Murphy in
sists on 100 pounds at 6 o'clock. Britt
is quoted as saying he will make that
weight no more. but If he sees a goodly
purse in sight he may change his
mind, just as he did when he agreed
to take on Mr.. Cans few weeks ago.
Murphy has not yet approached
Britt, but says he intends to see to the
matter shortly. A good many OF the
sporting fraternity do not concede Mel
son chance and say that Murphy is
ridding himself of a little excess con-
versation. Nelson is liable to surprise
many and in case he does stow Cor
bett away he will surely be the man
for Britt to mix with.
A few bets have been made with
Corbett Z to 10 choice. The best
judges of price think the odds will
