H. Wright, of San Francisco, who was
the favorite for last years event until
he was called back home by the Sc
rious illness OF his father, has already
notified the committee that he will
take part. j. Ferd ~Poggenburg, the
cue expert of New York city, played
one game in last years tourney, de-
feating Ed Rein with a high run of
70, which was not beaten. Then he
was called to New York, owing to ILL
ness in his family. Chicago billiard
fans expect Calvin Demarest,, of that
city, to be the sensation of the tour
-ney. Demarest as a youngster not out
of his teens, who has defeated the best
amateurs in Chicago and is constant
ly improving. Less than two years
ago he did not know how to handle d
cue. He was taken in hand by Lam
son w. Perkins, a billiard instructor,
and seven months ago won a straight
rail tournament from eight of Perkins
pupils. Recently in even inning
of a balkline game Demarest scored
1876 points. The innings were not con-
secutive. but were taken out of the
score of a 500-point match. He closed
the game with an average a trifie
short of 20.
The International billiard tourna-
ment, scheduled to open at New
York city on April ., in which
Hoppe, Cure. Sutton, Schaefer, Cut
Ter, Slcsson, Morningstanr and
probably, Vignaux, will participate,
has been given added interest through
out the world by the exciting contest
between Hoppe and Vignaux in Paris,
in which the youthful American wrest-
ed the worlds championship from the
aged Frenchman. The tournament
will settle two things-the extent of
The Improvement of the boy master
of the cue, Hoppe, and the decline of
that marvellous wizard of the game,
Schaefer, a man of wonderful skill,
nerve and stamina when in his prime,
and with attributes that have en-
deared him TO the billiard-loving pub
lie of the entire country. The game
will be at 1872 balk line. Whether
the other participants of the tourna-
ment have improved is an open ques-
ton. All, however, have been playing
sufficiently long TO have reached the
zenith of their careers, and each
should be seen at his best.

IN The FIELD OF SPORTS
Wrestling


George Bothner, the lightweight
champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler,
VIII be i'll the best possible condition
when he meets Abrahim Kazzi. the
Turkish champion, on the mat at the
Grand Central Palace, next Tuesday
night, and is confident of winning.
The rough work the champion has
INDUCED in with the Princeton college
students, has greatly increased his
strength and powers of endurance,
and he is determined 10 lead in the
attack, instead of wrestling on the de
fensive, knowing that the Turk must
weigh in at 1873 pounds.
A big delegation from all the lead
ing colleges will be in evidence at the
ring side to witness the struggle, and
also the Tigers football and baseball
teams, with a brandnew college yell,
to cheer Bothner and encourage him
to extend himself to the limit and up
hold the honor of the college, where
he is now instructor.
Leo Pardello, the Italian champion
heavyweight wrestler, and Neil Oh
sen, the clever big Dane, will meet
in a special contest at mixed style of
wrestling on March 6 at the Grand
Central Palace. Olsen has an I'M
mense following who will back him
heavily to defeat Pardello. Young
Hackenschmidt, the Bavarian Tiger,
will also appear in a match, under
Graeco-Roman rules, against Her.
man Miller, of Greenpoint.
The main event, between George
Bothner, the lightweight champion,
and Abrahim Kazzi, the young Turk,
is creating much interest. Bothner
feels confident that he will be tsrong
at the weight he must make. but has
no desire to be boastful as to the re-
suit. Delegations from all the lead
ing colleges which have taken up
wrestling will be on hand, as they
feel assured that Bothner will be
compelled TO extend himself.
Hugh Leonard, of the n. Y. A. c.,
will probably be selected to referee
the contest, although Abdallar D'As-
couchi insists on having some pro-
f~essional wrestler officiate, or Tony
Demetre, who managed Nachad, the
Turk, in this country.

For that double window which is
built almost up to a neighboring brick
wall, hang your sash curtains almost
without fullness and embroider or ap-
ply an arched design of flowers or
leaves over the top of them. They will
be in one piece for each window and
should be of white to let in all the
light possible without having to draw
them. Simple, unbleached muslin NAV
be used, and an applique linen design
may be put on with embroidery linen
in bold stitches. Or, a simple c%retonne
may be used. The whole point is to
bring the design up where it will be
the most effective by making it in a
shallow arch near the top.

SCHOOLBOYS FIGHT

College of Mechanical Arts
Saved From Fierce Fire
That Destroyed Oil. Plant
FIVE TANKS EXPLODE

Students Of the California School Of
Mechanical Arts turned fre-hghters
yesterday forenoon and by long and
brave work saved the building from
being destroyed by the menacing
sheets Of flame that poured out of the
paint and oil works. of the R. w. Ma
son Company Fire broke out in the
immense plant about $3.50 o'clock and
it was not until after noon that the
department men were able to subdue
the raging flames
The Mason works, at Fifteenth and
Utah streets. were filled with kerosene,
turpentine and gasoline and within
few minutes after the discovery of the
fire the entire plant became a roaring
furnace the flames at times rushing
toward the Mechanical Arts School
near by. The students worked hard
for two hours in playing hose on the
school, besides helping tenants of the
vicinity TO save their effects.
The fremen poured many streams in
70 the blazing plant but the flames had
gained such great headway that they
were unable TO do more than to pre-
vent the nearby buildings from catch
ing fire
During the first hour of the blaze
I'VE explosions occurred. The largest
one was at 1915 o'clock and created
something Of panic among the stu
dents.
The streams played on the fire turn
cd the intersecting streets into small
lakes Of muddy water, and when the
oil from the works spurted out the
entire surface of the ponds became a
mass Of flames. This incident hap
pened repeatedly, and the water in
stead Of being kept on the flames, had
TO be directed TO the burning surface.
A spark from a gas engine is sup
posed TO have started the fire.
During the past week two fires have
broken out in this block and each time
the galvanized iron building of. Lam
& Nolan. varnish workers, has stayed
the progress of the flames into that
building.
There was no insurance carried on
the Mason plant, which was burned
to the ground.

ACCUSE STANDARD
OF NEW GRIMES.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON Oct. 80. = Another
sweeping attack was launched against
the Standard Oil Company today before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
by the filing of three complaints by the
Independent oil producers charging
that the railroads were discriminating
in favor of the Rockefeller corporation
in the matter of freight rates All of
the Western roads and number of
the Eastern trunk lines are named as
defendants.
The three petitions are signed by the
National Petroleum Association Of
Cleveland. In the first complaint the
rates on oil to Western and Pacific
points are attacked. 1t sets forth that
of Whiting, Indiana, as compared to the
rates from Cleveland are much lower.
From Toledo and Findlay, Ohio. the
rate is 9Ok cents per hundred; from
Cleveland, SO cents, from Marietta, 80 Il
cents, and from Pit+sburg, Oil City, I'll
tusville, Bradford, Warren and Free
dom 9S cents In addition, the inde-
pay s1O5 to get their cars back from
the Pacific Coast.
In comparison to these alleged ex-
cessiVe rates the complainants set forth
that the Standard pays only 78h cents
from its great Whiting plant. Before
the Indiana refining center was eS-
tablished it is charged that the rates
from all points in the Eastern oil
region were the same and that the rates
now in force are unjust. unreasonable
and unduly discriminatory. The COM
mission is asked to fix a reasonable
rate and also to establish a lower
charge than s105 for hauling back the
empty tankcars.
In the other two petitions complaint
is made against the Milwaukee, North
western, Burlington, Chicago Great
Western, Rock Island, Illinois Central
and Wabash for excessive rates from
Peoria and Chicago to Omaha, Sioux
Falls, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.

MYSTERIOUS SHOT
WOUNDS PORTER.

OAKLAND. Oct. 3o-w. M. johnson,
a negro porter, was last night shot and
probably fatally wounded at 379 Fifth
street. The police believe that the
shot was, fired. by his wife. Johnson
denies this and declares that he was
accidentally wounded while transfer
ring his pistol from his hip pocket to
the pocket of his coat.
Mrs. Emma Britton, the landlady of
the house in which the shooting took
place, informed the police this morn
ing that she heard bitter quarrel in
the room occupied by Johnson and his
wife, and her story is corroborated by
Albert Phillips, lodger. About mid
night Johnson entered the Receiving
Hospital and said that he had shot
himself accidentally. DR.. o. d. Hamlin,
who was called to attend the injured
man, found that the bullet had pierced
the abdomen on the left SIDE
Johnson was at once removed to Pro
violence Hospital, where he was oper-
ated on this morning by DIR. Hamlin,
but his chances of recovery are small

it was not surprising to find Christian
Science Hall almost filled last evening
in response to the announcement that
he was to appear there as a sole at
traction. Fashion and music culture
combined to make the occasion nota-
BILE. The personnel of the gathering
was remindful of that never to be for
gotten night of April II in the Grand
Opera house.
Senor de Gorgozas song recital af-
forded no reason for retracting any of
the lavish eulogy bestowed upon him
when he alternated on the programme
with Eames. Indeed he seems, If any
thing, to have gained in versatility
in the power of adapting his voice to
the emotional or dramatic requirements
of the selections he interprets. This,
for a barytone, is something of a task;
for that quality of voice is only too
prone to lend itself to sonorous monot-
ony. De Gorgoza's vocal organ. how
ever, maintains magnificent richness
and resonance through all it's compass.
He has it constantly under complete
control, and never indulges in the lux
ury of displaying it's beauty and power
for their own sake and without regard
to higher artistic needs.
Abstaining from any startling varie-.
ties of tone-color, which most popular
singers do not, he can modify his voice
so as to be able to range over a suffi-
GENTLY wide field of musical express
sion. The juxtaposition of two songs
in his programme last evening clearly
exhibited his power in this respect.
First there was Tschaikowsky's "Nur
Wer die Schnucht Kennt," an exquisite
bit of musical landscape, through the
slow, languorous phrases of which the
singer breathed all appropriate tender
ness, and Immediately following were
the primal passages of Sohumann's
''Widmung," a magnificent burst of
fierce defamation, in which the vocal
lists volume and power of tone told
with overpowering effect.
But his substitution of the '"Pagliac-
ci'' prologue for a Tschaikowsky num-
Der was, in my opinion, the hit of the
recital, despite the fact that the final
and not least beautiful portion of Leon
coyallo selection-after the bit of reci-
tative that raises, the curtain-was
omitted. Why it was omitted-the sing
er and maybe his accompanist, Mr.
Steindorff, may explain
1t was a widely varied programme,
containing no less than sixteen num-
bers, and one just as long and entirely
different has been arranged for inter-
probation this afternoon in Ye Liberty
Theater, Oakland.
John Mcguire, the first man who
managed the first theater in Oakland,
has telegraphed a s100 contribution to
the Stockwel benefit fund. accompanied
by the information that he is en- route
and will be at Ye Liberty Theater next
Friday afternoon to recite "The Bould
Boy of Glengall." provided room for
him on the programme can be made
J. j. Gottlob declares that Mr. Mcguire.
will be accommodated. Since his de-
parture from California the veteran
manager has acquired and maintained
for many years the theatrical mentor
ship of Montana.
