LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5.-Jockey
Hildebrands mount in the first race at
Ascot to-day, Hachmeister, crossed his
legs and fell shortly after the start
Hildebrand was badly shaken up and
bruised, but it is thought that his in
juries are not serious and will not pre-
vent him from riding again within a
week or ten days. Hachmeister's neck
was broken and he died in a few min
utes. Mary's Gallant with NJ. Lynch
up, fell over Hachmeister, but neither
the jockey nor horse was hurt.

a horse of class. She won the third
race from Tramotor, Golden Boy and
Belle Kinney, stepping the five fur
longs in 100 fat and winning by half
a dozen lengths pulled up to a canter.
Jockey Fuller rode his first winner to-

SLOW FIGHTING MARKS
OLYMPIC CLUB BOUTS
SAD NIGHTFOR WINGED 20"
Andy Gallagher's Opponent Absent
Crowd Cheers Game Lad.

The several unknown fist artists and
others who have shone in various rings
did little to make the members and
guests of the Olympic Club shout last
night. There were eight bouts carded
and two Of these would pass as fights
on Tehama street The others might
have figured as a pink tea, but never
where a crowd Of seasoned sports are
wont to cOngregate.
Before the entertainment had been
concluded, Announcer Frank Thomp-
son. in a gentle voice, broke the news
70 those present that ]. Sullivan, who
was due 10 mix IL with Andy Gallagher,
was not in the house, and as he did not
leave his residence address with the
directors they were powerless to ap-
pease Mr.. Gallagher's appetite for a
fight Mr.. Gallagher, gsrbed after the
style Of Henry Irving, paraded
through the ring just to let the fans
knew he was there. Andy got a round
of applause and also a medal by de-
fault. When he meets Mr.. Sullivan in
q narrow alley-way he will probably
get the decision, for it is evident that
the latter is afraid TO take his beating
before a crowd.
Only one Olympian brought home a
medal. That distinguished young man
was Frank Flores and he made F. Nor
ton quit in three rounds with a few
solid rights 10 the jaw. l. W. Letcher
and Joe Leahy furnished the talked-o of
mill Leahy was al but gone in every
round. but came back fighting each
time and in turn had his opponent
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-06

yearning for the bell. Letcher got the
decision and Leahy was given a medal
on Eddie Graneys suggestion, for his
gritty exhibition.
Jack Conroy, a bantam from the
Hawthorne Club, beat Jack Crowley
down in four rounds. The former show
ed nice style and used both hands to
advantage. Pete Sullivan was too
many for Matt Granfield of the winged
90" and after Matt had gone down
twice in the first round and once in the
second Graney stopped the go and gave
Sullivan the verdict. Bert March could
not take Jack McLaughlin's wallops
with a towel in the second
j. Fitzgerald and j. McMurtry, the
only heavies, mauled each other around
when the latter's seconds tossed in the
distress signal every one felt gratifed.
Joe Some knew more about boxing
than did Jimmy Mcbride. another
Olympian, and outpointed his man in
every round. Richard Gordon got the
decision over Walter Merritt in the mill
that opened up the nights sport
The tournament will close this even
ing. The following bouts have been ar
ranged: ]. Roach VS.. Joe Carroll, 103

WIIIiE'S FOUL FIGHTING
COST HIM A DECISION

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Jack Root was
given the decision on foul over John
Willie in the fifth round tonight. The
men were to have fought ten rounds.
but the foul tactics resorted to by
W'ile became SO palDable in the fifth
round, after he had been repeatedly
warned, that the referee stopped the
contest and gave the verdict to Root.
Up to this time the bout was about
even. Root was the cleverer of the
TWO, but what Willie lacked in agility
ne made up in strength. Willie, i'm en-
deaVorlng to connect with Roots

Roots seconds said were foul. After
Willie had landed three of these blows

The Lieutenant Drops

Of Quotations.
BY FRED e. MULHOLLAND.


Garnet Ferguson's colt The Mighty
administered a sound drubbing to An
( drew 3. Cook, the bush Hindoo," over
the Futurity course at Oakland yester-
day, and didn't make any bones over it
either. for he accomplished the feat
with consummate ease. All the friends
of the Cook horse made it point to be
present, setting in their coin as help
er in a sawmill would feed a buzz saw.
until the bookmakers were forced to rub
to IL to 10. This enabled the admirers
of The Mighty to get to l for their
money.
Travers rode Cook and experienced
some difficulty in shaking off Tacolaw
and Misty's Pride. This he ultimately
accomplished, though, and furlong
from the wire looked a possible winner.
When Helgesen on the Ferguson colt
suddenly hove in sight the favorite
squawked and was subdued without
difficulty by more than two lengths.
H. L. Frank did not break with the
leaders and was not prominent. Misty S
Pride took the show.
The track over the bay was safe
enough, but speckled and slow. Some
excellent sport was witnessed, even
though the favorites did fare badly.
Vaughan, Follow Me, Gallant Cassie
and The Lieutenant all won at long
odds.
Helgesen didn't do much with Mistle-
tide, favorite for the opening seven
furlong event. The filly failed to show
any vast amount of speed, and at the
wire was fifth The winner turned up

an indifferent third. Mountebank,

in a gallop by Follow Me, a 10 to l
shot, piloted by Knapp Galanthus for
a time looked to have chance, then
the Coffey entry faded away.
big Bilr' Knapp appeared to have
on his riding clothes, for he came
through in the tWo-year-o scramble
with another long one. He had the leg
up on Gallant Cassie. a 20 to 1 neglect
ed outsider from the Miller stable, and
in a hard drive defeated Head Dance,
the mount of Sullivan. by half length.
Head Dance closed favorite and only
for being pocketed more than two
thirds OF the route would have scored
hands down. Bob Ragon led Marie
out for the show. George p. McNear
quit after displaying some early speed.
In the fourth, a seven furlong selling
number, The Lieutenant. a 80 to l shot,
was awarded a nose decision over Lit
tie Wally. The odds about the latter
were played down from to to to

and in a few more strides would have
beaten both of the leaders. Play Ball
did nothing, and Buffers riding of
North West was as usual q joke.

CRESCEUS AND HIS OWNER
MAY BE RULED OFF TURF
American TrOtting Association Likely
to Act Because of the
Kansas Incident.

CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-Followers OF
the trotting game are looking forward
10 the session of the American Trot-
ting Association at the Auditorium to-
morrow. when ii is expected that
Charles Ketcham, the owner of Cres-
ccUs. viii be debarred from further
racing and that the famous stallion,
whose record of 1894 has for months
been under discussion, will also be de-
ciared out Of the game, along with the
Wichita (Kans.) track.
Evidence that the affair was fixed
by the owner of the stallion with the
full consent of the officials of the
track is said TO have been unearthed
and according TO the general belief in
turf circles the Wichita track Ket-
cham and Cresceus will be debarred
from further participation in racing.
The reelection of the present Of
hcers of the association is said to be a
certainty.

PIPES BARRED
IN QtADR ANGLE
Students of Stanford Have
Their Attention Called to
Unwritten Law of College
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. s.
Until very recently the students Of the
university have respected the unwrit-
ten law against smoking in and about
the inner quadrangle Recently this
has been disregarded at the ends of
the arcades and at different places. I
trust that the students will not make
it necessary to change this unwritten
law into a written one, but in any case
the university will not tolerate smok-
ing about the recitation buildings nor
on the steps leading to them
DAVID STARR JORDAN"
Such was the order issued by the
presidents office this morning. 1t
caused a commotion among the stu
dents, who did not know that they had
been breaking any of the university
rules.
1t seems that when Stanford was in
its first stages Of construction Mrs
Stanford expressed the wish that as
the university was to be a co-educa-
tional institution there should be no
smoking on the quadrangle or near
the recitation buildings. This never
was written law, but it has been sa-
credly lived up TO by the students. Only
at times has it been broken and then
by freshmen, who were soon told by
upper classmen of the wish of Mrs.
Stanford.
But smoking is a part of the stu
dents life that he never entirely gives
up, and the long morning hours grew
dull to the men when they could not
find solace in a quiet smoke. And so
between classes. when there is a ten
minutes recess. the men students
would aoek to the eastern entrances
Of the quadrangle, where they would
puff happily away, not dreaming that
they were breaking the spirit of the
unwritten rule.
DIR. Jordan saw this, was displeased.
and so issued the order. The students
take the rule in good part.
