CordeII-Turner Bout PROMISING.

The Reliance Club of Oakland
searched for a long time before it could
find a suitable card to inaugurate to-
morrow night another series of boxing
matches. A happy selection was finally
made in the capture of the signatures
of Jack Cordell and Rufe Turner. Cor
dell is the most promising of the young
er generation of boxers in this vicinity,
and his friends foresee a rosy future in
store for him. His third professional
bout was with Aurelia Herrera, and it
is a matter of history that he outboxed
the hard hitting Mexican at every turn
in the road.
Turner has always been considered a
good trial horse, and no one has ever
ran around seeking the Stockton ne
gro's game. Turner is dangerous for
any kind of an opponent, because he
has a knockout punch and can cross it
over like lightning. Cans displayed a
wholesome respect for Turner when
they met a couple of years ago, and no
fighter is anxious to get In and trade
blows with him. Cordell is confident
chap, however, and believes he can
beat him at his own game.

Pope Needs So. .OOO. .oOo.

1t is estimated at the Vatican that
the expenses of the coming year will
amount to nearly two million dollars.
About five millions of the Papal
moneys, invested as a contingent fund,
viii bring interest of more than $780,
600, and other property of the Holy
See will increase the certain income
to nearly half million dollars. 1t is.
then, a million and a half of dollars
which the Vatican must receive from
the contributions of the faithful.
Every Bishop who visits Rome
takes a contribution from the Catho-
lies of his diocese. Mgr. O'Connell of
Newark took $4,000 not long ago. 1t
is hoped that the ninety-eight Bishops
of America will be able to send to
Rome this year at least half a million
for Peters pence. The recent falling
off Of French contributions have
found compensation in the increased
generosity of Americans.
The sum total of Italian contrjbu-
tions to Peters pence does not reach
an average of $4,000 year.--New

BROKEN BONE WILL KEEP

X-Ray Shows the Right Arm Is In

Fi~ht

Jimmy Britt was at the head of a
long procession of small boys and curl
Gus ones on the streets last evening.
and though his appearance has i'm
proved somewhat since he left the ring
at Woodward's Pavilion, his bruised
features still tell of theterrific battle in
which he engaged.
In speaking of a second match with
Corbett Jimmy said: You can say for
me that if Young Corbett wants an
other try with me he can have it. Fur
thermore l will not keep him waiting
as long as he did McGovern and my
self I'll fight him as soon as my arm
and hands are in good condition.
DIR. Jones made a careful X-ray ex-
animation of Britt's right arm yester-
day and reported that bone is broken
between the elbow and wrist. He says
it will be several weeks before the bones
will be knit sufficiently for Britt to do
any amount of boxing. The injury is
the same as the one he sustained in the
Canole fight.
One of Britts trainers said yesterday
that his bones are as small as a child S
and are all out of proportion TO the size
of his body. This doubtless accounts
for Britt's light weight in proportion to
his height and size.

Scoring in Clever Style
OH Recreation Diamond

The Seattle and the San Francisco
baseball men parted for a while yes
terday afternoon after handing it out
, to each other evenly in the first series.
Uncle's bunch nosed out the visitors
at the finish in the morning set-to
across the bay, to s. They did not
have strength enough left to waddle
through the mud in the afternoon and
the ducks from northern climes made
all kinds of runs while the rain fell.
Score, to 4.
Uncle forgot to stake his charges to
umbrellas in the afternoon. That was
the principal cause of their downfall.
Wilson's colts did not need such things,
so they won. The game broke up at the
beginning of the sixth inning. The
juice came so fast that the base run
ners demanded rowboats. Umpire Nc
Carthy had no naval stores in his col
lection, so he compromised by calling
the game off.
The locals got in right during the
first inning, but instead of going a little
further, they anchored there in the
mud. They made four runs and thought
that was enough to win, but when
Seattle got started ii looked like a
funeral procession. The northern stars
rolled 'em up in every round and would
probably be scoring yet if they had
had their canoes with them.
Mr.. Shock, he of the gigantic proper
tions. toed the scratch in the begin
ming of the game for the Seattles. He
lasted about five minutes. Waldron
sneaked in a hit over the third sack.
HildebTand was passed and Meany
came through with a bingle. Then Ir-
win smashed the leather safely and
Waldron registered. Leahy walked,
forcing Hide home.
The bases We're still full and It looked
bad. Anderson hit one that Shock for

slab artist to camp under the bench
for while and a yOungster, Charles
Hall by name. essayed 10 toss a few.
Massey hit him safely and brought Ir-
win in and that was the only run they
got off the kid.
Seattle struck her gait in the second
spasm. Two runs came in as soon ds
the northern men got line on the
kind that Yerkes throws. In the third,
they commenced to punish the sphere
as though il was convicted of a GRIM
inal offense. Everybody took a ride on
it and when three had been declared
out five runs were marked up for
Seattle.
The rain came down throughout, but
the fans in attendance wanted to see
five innings anyhow. Jack Mccarthy
was kind and allowed the game to 90
on. In the sixth it went beyond the
limit and so the umpire held a consul
tation with himself and motioned to
those present to go and seek their fire.

This victory puts the Oakland Hornets

The Independents lost the toss and
had to play against the wind in the
first period. Soon after the ball had
been put into play rain began to fall
and continued until the end OF the
match.
From the start the play was fast
and furious, the Independents playing
a quick game and getting past the de
fensive line of the Thistles several
times. Neither side was able to score
in the first period. though the Scotch
team had three corner kicks.
In the second period the Fndepen-

clever passing of the Thistles' forwards
was seriously interfered with by the
slippery ground. At last hard Kick

THE MORNING GAME.

The morning game was full of runs.
Waldron started the music for San
Francisco in the first inning when he
soused the first ball pitched over the
right field fence for a homer. Then his
teammates took the hunch and clouted
out six runs before the inning was at
an end. Seattle played a good uphill
game with the bat and nearly won out,
but the fielding of the team was bad
and the seven errors helped Uncle to
acquire many tallies. The score:
