INTERUNIVERSITY BOAT
CONTEST is NOT ROwED

There was no interuniversity boat
race yesterday at Sausalito The crew
of the Washington University was on
hand with its racing four-oared shell,
while the Stanford men were present
without a boat.
On behalf of the cardinal men II
was stated that orders had been given
to the Peterson Launch Company to
bring the shell up from Redwood
City. but that through misunder-
standing the order was not executed.
The weather was fine and the water
in Richardson Bay smooth
After much discussion it was agreed
that the crews of Stanford and WASH
ington shall meet at Sausalito on Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock, when the
race will be rowed over a two-mile
course from the ferry slip northward
to Waldo Point.
The question Of Weighing the shell
of the Washington crew In the race
with the University of California,
which will be rowed on the Oakland
estuary to-day at 9:45 a. m. and which
for a time seemed likely to cause a
disagreement In the arrangements for
the race, has finally been settled in a
manner satisfactory to the coaches of
both crews.
The hitch was caused by the fact
that there is no coxswain in the
Washington boat, this making a great
difference in the weights carried by
the two boats. In the race tomorrow
the California boat will carry in the
coxswain alone 110 pounds more live
weight than Washington 1t is to off,
set this difference that forty pounds
of dead weight must be added to the
Washington boat.

CHIEF SULLIVAN REDUCES
WORK OF ENGINE COMPANIES
Scarcity of Horses Compels Head of
Fire Department to Reduce
Number of Assignments.

Owing to the poor condition of the
horses of the Fire Department at the
present time and the inability of the
department to procure animals that
would come uD to requirements Chief
Sullivan has temporarily reduced the
first alarm assignments of many en-
gine companies, especially in the mer-
camille and manufacturing districts
where fire calls are frequent. His
purpose is to tighten the work of the
horses as much as possible. The fol-
lowing first call box numbers were
taken eff the different engine assign
ments:
Engine 2, IS: 8, 1; A. 10; 8, 1; 6, 10;
9. 8; 10, II; II, 4; IA, 8; II, 6; 2s, 3;
20, 6; 35, 4; 3S, 8; truck 10, Q; chem
ical =; 3, z; 5, 1; 6, Is.
For failing to report promptly to
his engine house after completing his
detail at theater w. j. Olsen of En-
gine 13 was found guilty of neglect
of duty and fined fifteen days pay by.
the Fire Commissioners at their meet
ing yesterday afternoon. It will cost
William Crawhall i've days pay for
not registering in the journal of the
firehouse the exact time when Olsen
reported back.
The Commissioners left it to Chief
Sullivan to decide how long a vaca-
should be allowed.
A communication was received
from Congressman Kahn stating that
volumes of reading matter of interest
to firemen would be distributed among
the firehouses Of his district for the
perusal of the firemen during their
leisure hours.
The following changes were made:
James Buckley, from acting lieuSen-
ant of Engine Company "a to hose
man of Engine Company 21; j. Aug
ust Imbrie, from engineer, Engine
Company 10, to temporary lieutenant,
Engine Company 10, Fred Meyer

Seals Score Twice on
a Pair of Lucky
Shots.
Tacoma Starts Well
but Falls by the
Wayside.

The Seals victory over the Tigers at
Recreation Park yesterday was not due
to any alarming work with the stick,
but more to good fortune apd the laws
Of chance. The Seals made two runs
on pair OF slzimpy little hits, while
the Tigers banged away safely eight
times, and still their share was but a
run. Score-San Francisco 2, Tacoma /.
Brown, the grocery pitcher, thought
he was dealing out sacks of flour and
sides of bacon to the Seals. He might
as well, for all the harm they did.
Brown should have won his game. and
every one in the lot thought he would
triumph when the Tigers waded In
strongly during the first round and sent
a run through without hesitating.
Doyle opened the game for the Tigers
with a wallop to left field that was
good for two stations. Sheehan also
banged safely. Nordyke slapped to Ir-
win, who threw badly to first Casey
got a hit, which scored Doyle. The rest
of the gang died on the bases, although
il seemed a dozen runs would be made.
Wilson registered for the Seals in the
fifth on a base on balls an error and a
fly. The winning run was enticed home
during the next period. when Hide
brand tore off hit, advanced to second
on Irwin's sacrifice, took third on a
balk and came in on Nealon's long fly
TO the right garden.
Both teams put UP an inferior article
Of ball. and although the score was
small and the errors few, the game was
one of the slowest yet played. None of
the players had any life in them, and
they seemed content with standing up
and banging away at the sphere just
because they had to do something to
earn their salaries. The score:

William Moskiman and his eight
trained assistants forced the Portland
Giants to gulp down this afternoon at
the Idora Park baseball grounds.
The big fellows who have been win

this week did not take their medicine
to-day without struggle. OF the six
hits made off the opposing boxmen
the White Socks secured four Two of
these were double baggers. one was q
triple sacker and the other a single.
Bert Jones served the spirals superbly
for McCreedte's minions but his pro-
verbal hoodoo clung to him, and he
lost a game in which he allowed only
two singles, passed no one and famed

Van Haltren's vassals did not get
one OF their clan on first until the
seventh period, when Kruger lobbed

Paul essayed to steal second when he
ina gined nobody was looking, but he
was caught in the act. OalSland's only
and winning tally was scored in the
eighth session. Locomotive King, the
first man up, started one for the score

holder sprinted along with the screamer
and plucked it from the atmosphere in
spectacular style. Julie Streib smote

Clark, which the latter fielded cleverly
to Mclean as Streib slid for the plate
The play was close, but Umpire Davis
ruled that the Teutonic first baseman
was safe. Householder swatted for a
brace of bags in the seventh. and in an
endeavor to make his smash good for

McCreedie, who followed Eddie, banged
out a tri-sacker, but his men were
powerless to advance him further. By
winning to-day's contest Oakland and
Portland are tied in the series. Both
mines are playing the highest class of
baseball, as the small scores and the
extra inning games prove. Score:

BANNER ATTENDANCE SEES
THE sPORTSMEN'S SHOW
Boxing Bout Between Jimmy Britt
and Frankie Neil Proves a Big
Attraction.

The largest crowd since the OPEN
ing of the Forest, Fish and Game Esx-
hibition attended last night. It was
Sierra Club and Shamrock night. A
stereopticon lecture was given in the
art gallery by Professor LIE Conte and
William Colby. Pictures Of different
places visited by the club during its
jaunts and pictures Of Mount Rainier
were shown. which place the club will
visit this year.
One thing which probably attracted
many was a three-round friendly box
ing bout between Jimmy Britt and
frankie Neil. At times 1t resembled
the real article. both boxers sending
in blows fast and hard.
This afternoon a Chinese baby show
will be held. In the evening II will
be military night and a competitive
drill between First Corps Cadets.
Cavalry Reserve Corps. Starr King
Cadets, Columbia Park Boys Club.

REINHARDTs HoUsEKEEPER
COMPROMISES HER ACTION
Accepts Much Smaller Sum Than
That She Demanded for Services
Rendered Capitalist.

For twenty-three years Mrs. Hattie
Ward served as housekeeper in the
home Of the late John B. Reinhardt,
who, though he lived in humble quar-
tiers at 2e4 Natoma street, left an
estate Of great value. When Rein
hardt died and his will was read, Mrs
Ward. who had hoped for gift in
his testament sufficiently large to in
sure her comfort during her remaining
years, found that she had been left
but $4,000.
Disappointed, if not angry, she re-
undated the devise and filed suit
against the estate through a relative.
to whom she assigned her claim, for
$4,000 as housekeeper and agent
and another for $27, 900 for services. as
plain housekeeper, with no demand for
compensation for services rendered in
any confidential capacity. Mrs. Char
lotfe Brand and Flora Louise Morton,
heirs Of the deceased, though confident
that Mrs. Ward was entitled TO more
than the sum Of the bequest in her
favor, were positive she was en-
titled 10 no such sum as she sued
tor on April II, 1903, they carried on
with her negotiations looking to a
compromise.
II was only recently that they sue
oeeded In convincing Mrs. Ward that
she would be defeated in court and
secured a release Of all claims she
NAV have against the estate upon the
pavment to her OF S6340. This release
includes the legacy of $4,000, upon
which she now has no further claim.
Otto Lemcke, executor Of the deced-
ent's Will. set forth the facts as given
above in a petition filed yesterday,
asking the court to ratify the compro-
mise. If the court agrees that IL is
equitable Mrs. Ward will get her
money and the estate. which was
threatened with long and expensive
litigation. viii be near final settlement.

Mowatt and Yanger Fight Draw.

KALAMAZUU, MICH, AprlI IT.
Benny Yanger and Tommy Mowatt
fought twenty rounds to a draw to-
night before more than 1000 persons.
The first round was Yanger's, but after
that Mowatt took the lead and main
tanned it to the end of the fight.
Neither fighter sustained much pun
ishment. Yanger displayed great eau
tion throughout the fighting, surpass-
ing his opponent in this department.
Mowatt did more leading, especially in
the last dozen rounds. The men mixed
il frequently and the referee was busy
most of the time parting the boxers.

QUARREL AMONG PROMOTERS.

The present sensation is in reality
another outbreak in the feud between
the promoters of professional fights
When the Ralston bill was being
pressed at Sacramento Manager Jim
Coffroth and others called on Mr.. Har-
rison and showed him where the
passage of the bill would not cure the
evils Of boxing. 1t permitted amateur
bouts, and they pointed out that un-
scrupufous managers could readily
evade its provisions. Mr.. Harrison saw

cided to use his wide influence In

placed a mass of information at the
disposal of Mr.. Harrison. He in turn
presented it to the Grand Jury. and
yesterdays action is the result. It will
probably be passed up to the Super
visors on Monday in addition to their
other fight troubles.
The promoters claim they are allowed
to pay the reasonable training ex-
penses of boxers This Is the point on
which the case hangs No attempt is
made to conceal the fact that boxers
have been paid for years by every club
which has promoted fights, but the
compensation of the boxers has been
in the guise of training expenses.
