Shirer's official message to the gov
ernor exonerated the hospital Off
cials in the death OF Adams, but
mildly censured attendants for dis
regard OF duty.
Justice Boutwell, was acting COR
Oner at the time and when the re-
port was made said he would carry
on an investigation OF his own. The
matter has rested since.
Adams, a civil war soldier, died In
the Massillon institution a week aft
er being reeiyed. His relatives in
Beach City, headed by Mayor Glenn
of that city, started an investigation.
and at the coroner's inquiry physi-
clans testified that the wounds re-
ceived by Adams could not have
been self-inflicted and that death
was due to hands other than his
own. Physicians claimed to have
found IN the autopsy that four of
Adams ribs were broken
The hospital people claimed that
Adams died OF pneumonia.

lNTERCLASS MEET
ON ST. JOSEPH'S
PROGRAM
Berkeley Boys i'm the Catholic
League to Try Meffle
Among Themselves

The boys of st. Josephs academy,
Peralta park. Berkeley, are planning
to hold an interclass track and field
meet early in May. The pupils of the
Berkeley school gave an excellent ac-
count Of themselves at the indoor meet
held on March IL under the auspices
of the Catholic Schools athletic league,
and their success on that occasion has
encouraged them to devote much at
tention to track work.
st. Joseph's academy boasts a well
laid out straightaway and running
track, and affords splendid advantages
to the numerous band of little ath-
letes who attend the institution.
Brother Vitus, the athletic director
of st. Joseph's, has hit upon the May
meet as an excellent means OF pre-
pairing for the outdoor meet of the
Catholic Schools athletic league, which
will take place on May %.
The athletic association of the acad-
emy is controlled, under faculty super
vision, by a board of managers elected
by the student body. The following
students make up this years board
of managers: r. Artiga, G. Gallagher,
+. Porter. e. Spillman, c. Simpson, w.
Cunningham, G. Hinneiger and L. Len
non.
Owing to a series of athletic events
to be run off during April and May,
the academy has not entered team
in the baseball tournament of the Cath
olic Schools athletic league. None the
less st. Joseph's boys are enthusiastic
league members and intend to take an
active part in all league activities dur
ing the summer and autumn months.

JEANETTE BEATS
SAM MCVEY in
so ROUNDS

PARIS, April 17.--In the greatest
fight witnessed in France since John l..
Sullivan and Charley Mitchell fought
at Chantilly in 1888, John Jeanette
of New York tonight defeated Sam Me-
Vey Of California in the hftieth round
of a finish fight.
A great crowd witnessed a game ex-
hibition of heavy weights, the contest
last for three hours and half. Nc
Vey had thN better of the fight up to
the fortieth round, and in both the
twenty first and twenty-second rounds
he had the New Yorker so groggy that
he barely could keep his feet
Jeanette bore the punishment brave
ly and recuperated in wonderful man
ner. McVey had almost worn himself
out after 40 rounds, and by this time
the New York fighter was coming back.
BY effective fighting he gradually beat
the Californian and practically had him
knocked out when the fight ended, Nc
Vey's seconds throwing up the sponge.
Jeanette was the favorite in the bet
ting and the purse was $4,000. 1t is
understood that Jeanette now intends
to issue a challenge TO Jack johnson
for the championship of the world.

Cardinals Are OutcIassed
On Tennis Courts

The intercollegiate tennis played at
Berkeley yesterday forenoon proved
even more one sided than was expected
The Stanford players were completely
outclassed and at no stage was the
events in doubt. Stanford failed to
win even one of the six matches and
had to content itself with one set in
the womens singles.
Although the Long brothers, who
represented California in both singles
and doubles. have had little practice
of late. they won both the singles
matches and the doubles with the
greatest ease. Jordan and Gowan did
the best they could but Were simply
outclassed.
Melville Long beat Jordan CO, e-1,
and Herbert Long beat Gowan 6-3. g
1t was expected the doubles would
prove something of contest, but it
was even more one sided than the
singles. The Long brothers lost only
two games in as many sets, the score
being 6-l, 81.
The Stanford women made a some-
what better showing than the men, but
no time felt uneasy. Miss l.. Brown
was the only California player of the
day to lose set. Miss Smith, after
winning only one game in the first
set, took the record set by a narrow
margin. Miss Brown won the third
set as easily as the first. The score
was 6--1, 81, 6--1. Miss A. Brown. the
number two California player, easily
disposed of Miss S. Bundy The
score was 6-1, e.. The Misses Brown
Joined forces in doubles and proved
easy winners over Miss Bundy and
Miss Haywards. The score was 81
6-2
The California victory was even more
overwhelming than that of last year
and Stanford will probably not score
a victory while the Long brothers are
in the California team. Melville Long
is the premier player of the coast, while
his brother formerly held the state
championship.

MISSIONITES CLAIM
KAUFMAN AND
JOHNSON

The wires from New York burned
last night with the startling story that
Jack Johnson and AL kaufman had
August. According to the wire, Billy
Delaney. in behalf of kaufman, posted
$4,000 with prominent Gotham sport
ing man as his forfeit to bind the
match. Johnson did not post any mon
ey, but says the story. he will box AL.
This was corroborated later on by
Match Maker Sidney Hester of the
Mission club. Hester stated that De-
laney wired him that the Kaufman
Johnson match was practically made
and that all the details would be ar
ranged within the next few days.
Hester is very jubilant over the news
and banks ON pulling the big fight off
during the last week in August.
I'VE have been trying hard to land
a big card" said Hester last night,
on our way. Billy Delaney has been
acting as our New York agent and,
last night, he wired me that he was
sure of Kaufman and johnson during
August. l expect to have this match
clinched within the next few days. 1t
looks like live card.
There is no reason why johnson
can not fight before the Mission club
if he sees fit. True, he is under con-
tract to Coffroth to fight Ketchel. but
there is nothing to stop him from
fighting anybody else in the meantime.
If Kaufman beats Johnson, then Cof-
froth can match him with Ketchel. This
would figure out just as well as john
son and Ketchel"
The Mission club has worked on
this match for many weeks and made
an offer of 65 per cent of the gross
receipts to the fighters. This is a
very liberal offer, as the match figures
to draw in the neighborhood of $780,
900 at least. There is no question but
~ ha Wi null
fight off if they are given half
chance.
The New York dispatch states that
Johnson will shortly start for London
to play several music hall dates. He
expects to be back some time in July
If he means business, this will give
him plenty of time to come to this
city and get in condition for Kaufman
during the next month. At all events
Johnsons word will settle the matter
definitely. He should speak shortly
