the game went eleven innings to a

OLD TINE RUNNER
IS TO visit CITY
Gus Guerrero Once TrundIed a
WheeibarrOW From Bush and
Kearny to New York

Gus Guerrero, at one time champion
foot racer of the world, and at the
present time holder of the IS hour en-
durance contest, will return to San
Francisco Monday or Tuesday to Wis
it the home of his childhood and his
mother and sisters. after an absence of
p years. While in the city, Guerrero
will make his home with his sister.
Mrs. August Studer, 81 Yerba Buena
street.
Back in the late seventies Guerrero
was the one best bet when it came to
foot race, whether for one or
for 500 miles, six day match, or even
if the proposition called for a jaunt
from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast.
Anything went with Guerrero; he ran
the mile, 5. 25, 100, 500, He ran for
As hours. making 900 miles fiat in that
time. and once in 1884 he trundled a
wheelbarrow from San Francisco to
New York city. His start was from
Bush and Kearny streets, as many old
timers remember.
Born in San Francisco in 1856. Guer-
zero. one of family of athletes, took
to the walking running game right off
the bat. AS early as 1876 he was heard
of in a six day go as you please race,
winning hands down with 375 mile
tally to his name when the markers
were hung out, while his nearest conf
petitor, Steve Brodie, of Brooklyn
bridge diving fame, was a wayback k
second with 262 miles. In 1880, March
Is and 20, in a six day race he kept on
the track for 142 hours, covering 500
and six-sevenths miles.
Guerrero again appeared in the lime
light in Boston November to in
a six day 10 hour day race-covering
a distance of 404 miles in the ~ hours.
In Bangor, Me-, December 10 to IL,
1889. he competed against the world in
a 80 hour go you please stunt, COW
ering 1909 miles. which to the present
time. remains a worlds record.
OF late years Guerrero man now 81
years of age, has entirely given up the
racing game spending his time as an
instructor. having been coach in New
York athletic club gymnasium for
many years past.

Cyclone Thompson and Charlie
NOrvaI Carded to Meet in
Oakland Tomorrow Night

Charlie Norval and Cyclone Johnny
Thompson are in fine shape for their
10 round engagement before the West
Oakland club tomorrow night, and a
big crowd will no doubt take in the
bout, as it is the best card that has
been staged at this club for many
months.
Every fight fan knows what slam
bang mixer Thompson is, and for years
he has been knocking at the champion
ship door. Norval is a very clever
boxer and for 10 rounds should make
some to avoid being outpointed With
match with Battling Nelson in view
the Cyclone can be relied upon TO make
Norval use all of his speed and science
to avoid defeat.
AS the men clash at catch weights,
neither will do any training today or
tomorrow, barring a little roadwork.
Thompson states that he will try for a
speedy knockouts, but. Judging by the
cleverness displayed by the Montana
lightweight when he fought Jack Cliff
ford. Thompson will have a hard time
in reaching the jaw of Doe Jeffrey's
boxer.
The special events should also prove
interesting, as the new matchmaker
has engaged some classy scrappers.
Louie Long and frankie Smith can
make the fur fly for six rounds, while
Billy Grupp and Indian Joe Gregg are a
hammer and tongs pair of middle
weights with stiff wallops-
Johnny Mccarthy and Billy Carter

FIRE AT TANNERY.
Broken Rope on Whistle Arouses Entire
City When Fire Does Damage of S100

At midnight Friday night the entire
city was aroused by the blowing of
the fire whistle and the continued blow
ing of the whistle at the plant Of the
N. R. Allen IS Sons Company and many
people believed that the great plant
was being destroyed by fire. However,
the fire which originated from crossed
wires in the bark mill of the plant was
one easily controlled by the fremen and
it was extinguished at loss of about
500. The blowing of the whistle of
the plant which resulted in routing the
people from their beds was an acct
dent. When the engineer of the tan
merry heard that there was a fire in the
bark mills he pulled the wire which,
was connected with such vigor that it
snapped and one end of it caught in
the rope and held the whistle so that
it continued to blow for more than FIVE
before it could be released.
AS soon as possible men were sent to
the roof of the building and released
the wire which held the whistle open.

coNTRIBUToRY NEGLIGENCE
Walter Burke Loses His Fight for Dam
ages From Kenosha Electric Ry Co.


Walter Burke lost his suit for dam
ages against the Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company, growing out OF a coils
ion between an automobile owned by
Burke and one of the cars of the COM
pany on the night of July Sd, as this
morning the jury which heard the eEi,
dence in the case returned verdict
finding the plaintiff guilty of contribu-
tory negligence. The jury held that
the agents of the company in charge of
the car were negligent and that this
negligence was the cause of the acct
dent but in the answer to the next
question found that Burke had also
been negligent in the operation of his
automobile. The jury found that should
Burke recover the amount of his dam
ages should be $400. The attorneys
for the defendant company at once
moved for Judgment on the verdict but
the attorneys for the plaintiff asked
that the matter be held open for few
days to permit the fling of other mo-
tions.
1t is probable that the case of o.
Donnell VS.. The Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company which was based on the
same accident will not be called for
trial until some final decision is reached
in The Burke case.
