CYCLONE KELLY
An EASY MARK
Proves No Match for Woods,
Who Floors Him Seven
Times in the First Round

OAKLAND. March S.-"Cyclone"
Kelly. the boxer. is misnamed. He is
only a soft and gentle summer zephyr.
Billy Woods took five rounds tonight
AT the Seouoia Club to finish Kelly
but the dark-skinned fighter could
have done the trick in any part of the
first round had he been so minded.
1t might be difficult TO prove that the
bout was the rankest kind of a fake
but il was palpably evident TO the
spectators. many Of them experts in
The game. that it was a farcical nip
podrome from Kelly's corner, any
way.
why Woods did not end the contest
in the first round only "Biddy' Bishop,
his manager. and the colored man
know. There was no excuse for keep
ing the crowd through the following
rounds. because Kelly did not even
make the semblance Of showing. Ihe
Seouoia Club is suffering under the
~enetition of suspicious contests that
have been given under its manage
rnent since boxing was resumed IN
, Oakland. The Kelly-Woods event is
rbe third in succession that has not
had q thoroughly genuine appearance.
Given the benefit of all doubts to date,
Manager Bishop should not permit
another such mill as that Of last night
In the fifth round Woods decided

smashes on Kelly's jaw. Down went

slightest pretense to fight. 1t was

the second. In the third Kelly went 10
the floor once. Woods did not do bit
OF lighting in the fourth. and the pair
managed 10 stand off the hoOting and
yelling for this round. Then the hfth
and last came.
The spectators were given lively
ten-round number between Lyn Trus-
colt. who. Billy Jordan said, was the
-light-weight champion of Australia,
and Fred Landers, the North Beach
boy. Referee Eddie Smith called 1t a
draw. which was a satisfactory decl-
sion. Landers knows the game bet
ter than the lad from the Antipodes.
but Truscott showed with a good left
that tired the san Francisco young
ster at times.
Truscott took a lot Of heavy body
and stomach punches. The pair gave
a clear exhibition.
The opening number saw Mike Mar
tin. a lanky youth from Philadelphia,
knocked out after couple Of minutes
of fighting by stocky Patsy Hogan OF
Chicago.

JUMPS UPON SHOULDERS
OF PASSING PEDESTRIAN
ii. b. Hansen Is Arrested for Vag-
rancy After Sensational Attempt
to Escape.

H. 3. Hansen was arrested last
night by Patrolmen Stelzner and Mo-
gan and booked at the City Prison on
a charge of vagrancy. James Brady,
watchman at the uncomDleted Fair
mont Hotel on Mob Hill, noticed him
prowling about the building near mid
night. Believing he was bent upon
stealing tools, Brady approached the
fellow and ordered him from the
premises. Instead of complying Han
sen made a lunge with an ugly look
ing knife in an attempt to disembowel
Brady and the latter hit his assailant
on the head with rock.
The police were summoned, but
were at first unable to find Hansen.
Stelzner and Mogan finally located
him hiding on the Sacramento-street
side of the building. Upon the ap-
proach of the officers he jumped from
the bulkhead, landing on the should
ers of a passing pedestrian, thirty feet
below. Hansen was treated at the
Harbor Hospital for badly sprained
ankle and then locked up.

sented to act as presiding judge. The
stewards of the meeting will be F. ].

quests that all ponies which have not
been officially measured be taken to F.
j. Carolan's Crossways farm tomorrow

shakesnearean Reading.

Marshall Darrach gave another of
his interesting Shakespearean recitals
under the auspices of the Charming
Auxiliary at Steinway Hall last night.
He took up the tragedy of Julius
Caesar and carried it through in a
manner rarely attained in profess
sional Shakespearean readers. There
was no tendency to rant and nothing
was overdone, but with subtle skill he
told the story of the murder of Caesar
and the downfall of Brutus and Cas-
sins

A WRECK.
Passenger Train Ditched and One
Man Killed.

Wednesdays Burlington passenger
train from the east did not arrive un-
til after Z o'clock in the evening, ,hav-
ing been detained by a wreck ear
Upton, Wyo.,, nearly 300 miles east
of this city. From passengers it was
learned that the train wrecked was
No. AZ, which left Bi1itngsaTuesday
morning. Spreading rails were given
as the aus of the accident.
The tender of the locomotive left
the track, derailing the mail and bag
gage cars, partially tipping the latter
owe The smoker was thrown over
onto it's side and the chair cal tilted
at an angle, while the tourist sleeper
was lifted off it's trucks and deposit
ed by the side of the track. One man,
a passenger named George Donohue,
was killed outright.
Donohue was riding in the smoker
and was looking out of the window
when the car upset. Being on the side
to which the car fell, he had his head
crushed and almost completely torn
from the body. Some of the other pas
sengers were slightly injured.
The dead mar boarded the train at
Toluca, whittier he went from Cody,
where he had been employed as cook
ait a hotel.
In view of the magnitude of the &C.
cident and the crowded condition OF
the train, railroad men say that it is
but little short of marvellous that a
long list of dead and seriously wound
ed was not reported.
