WARDS CRIT Is TOO
MUCH FOR BIG
JIM CASEY.

All the yellow that Jim Casey is ac-
cused Of having accumulated in years
came 10 the surface last night, when
he met Bob Ward in Dreamland Pa
Nllion. Ward was practically a beat
en- man in the first round, but he re-
served his gameness. and when he saw
that Casey was inclined to stop in the
third, he waded in and stuck till he
had Casey all but slowed away.
Casey knows more about the game
than Ward, and If he had any nerve
al all he would have outpointed his
man without any trouble, and had he
used bit Of judgment he could have
won on a knockout in the second. But
Casey had nothing, not even the grit
TO keep on fighting when Ward was
ready to be dropped, and therefore the
crowd was glad to see the latter win.
The rest Of the card was very much
OF a joke. Southside Jack OBrien dis
posed OF Abe Label in the third. johnny
Murphy knocked out Ed Powers in the
third, A Emmick earned the decision
over Harry Williams, Johnny Hogan
slowed Ed Iovejoy away in the third
and Charles Mccarthy outpointed Ed
Weber Sol LevinsOn refereed all the
bouts.
A fight between Tommy Ryan and
Joe Thomas may be served up to the
fans on Thanksgiving day at Colma.
Billy Roche has received word from
Jack Curley, manager of Ryan. that
his man will meet Thomas at $50
pounds. Thomas, as usual is ready
TO fight, and If the minor details can
be Strengthened out within the next
few days the match will be made

THOUSANDS SEEK
CHOICE CLAIMS.
Opening Of Walker Indian
Reservation Causes Rush
to Secure Mineral Lands

YERINGToN, New, Oct 2S.-Tre-
mendous excitement prevails here
Wnere 1000 men have gathered pre-
paratory to rushing on Walker Indian
reservation, a large portion OF which
Will be thrown open for mining claims
tabiished at all advantageous points
and the prospective claimants are
ready for the rush
several large copper mines are in
successful operation near Yerington,
a rev miles outside the reservation, and
local traditions credit the territory in
sioe the reservation with being still
rlcher Several old prospectors know
Just where the richest land is supposed
10 be, and clashes seem inevitable.
Calm observers fear bloodshed over
disputes that are almost certain to oc-
cur, although a local miners association
mas been formed to prevent prospeetors
carrying weapons But no heed is be-
ing paid to this semi official rule by
the more determined element
. large percentage of the prospectors
are from California, although Goldfeld,
Ionopah and other Nevada mining
towns have contributed their quota, as
nave nearly all Of the large Eastern
cities Mining syndicates from all por-
tions OF the United States have repre-
sentatlyes on the ground who have
been instructed to secure as many
rich claims as possible. Accommoda-
tlons OF all kinds are at high
premium. While no hardship has been
experienced as yet, it is believed much
suHering may result unless more pro-
visions are rushed in. The camp at
ferlngton was swelled by about 500
additional people today and several
thousand are expected tomorrow Con-
Veyances of all kinds have been char
tered and high prices have been placed
on horSes, even the poorest animals
bringing large sums. The reservation
is being carefully guarded by mounted
Indian police.
Any attempt to cross the line before
the proper time will be promptly
stopped. Early this morning a party
or hYe prospectors made a bold dash
INTO the reservation, but they had gone
but few miles before they were over
taken and summarily elected They
were informed that they would not be
allowed to locate on the reservation
and were ordered to leave the country
under threat of arrest. Other prospec-
tors who today had taken places too
near the lines were ordered to keep at
proper distance, A large number of
passengers who came from San Fran
cisco on the Goldf1eld express got off at
Wabuska and took stage to Yerington.
fourteen miles distant. Several of them
were wealthy men who participated in
the rush to Ramsey several months
ago.

IVES SUCCUMBS TO
RYE IN GARDEN
CITY STAKES.
SPECIAL DlsnArcH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Fine weather
and an inviting card brought out all
the regulars to Jamaica today and
many transients besides. The track
was a trifle dead, but safe. The going
next the rail was somewhat heavy,
which made the horses take wide turns
to get to the good pathway. There were
were about 5000 people in attendance.
The Garden City stakes, which was a
selling affair for three-year- -olds and
upward at one mile and a sixteenth.
was the chief attraction of the after
noon's card. BeNnere and Delphie We're
withdrawn. This left but two horses
to compete for the stake. Rye was the
favorite in the betting al odds of s13
to 20. There was nothing to the race
except Rye and he came home with the
long end of the purse and plenty of
margin to spare. Rye went to the front
right after the barrier was released
but Miller pulled him up at the end of
a quarter and let Wes, the only other
starter, make the running to the
stretch. There Rye closed with a rush
and taking the lead simply ran away
from Yves and loped under the wire
the easiest kind of a winner by q
dozen lengths.
When Walter NIilter landed Water

lished a record of 3O4 winning mounts
