The San Francisco call., 1913-10-25

The star athletes from all sections
of the coast are ready for the Portola
track and field championships. which
will be held at the Golden Gate park
stadium park today. The prelimi-
naries will be run off this morning,
starting at 10 o'clock, and the finals
will be started promptly at 1880.
The meet promises to be something
sensational from competitive stand
point. The Portola committee has
brought athletes from all sections of
the coast and one of the most noted
brought here from Boston to COM
pete.
The Bostonian, Jimmy Power by
name, a member of the Boston Ath-
letic association, arrived yesterday
and worked out at the stadium in the
afternoon. Power had just stepped
off the train after a six day trip from
the hub city, and only 1imbered up
yesterday. but in that limbering the
class of the man was outstanding at
every stride.
POWER IN GOOD SHAPE
Power expects to be in good shape
for the race. Els ramble yesterday
satisfied him that with some more
work today he will be in good enough
shape to get over the eight furlongs
in fairly good time. He is a typical
looking athlete, and after his little
work stated that his legs felt fine
and that as far as he could judge
his wind would be there for the race
of his life.
Power Is the first easterner to ar
rive here for the A1l-America team
which is to leave in two weeks to
tour Australia and New Zealand. In
the Portola meet today he will en-
deavor to set a new coast record.
which at present is held by Clyde of
the University of Washington with
minutes 90 seconds. Power will also
start in the two mile run.
The Bostonian will not have things
his own way by a long shot. and he
must run every yard of the distance
to win his race.
"Slim' Wilson of Stanford varsity
and Bobby vlught of ST. Mary's col
lege are the two local men figured to
give Power the race of the day.
Wilson and V1ught have both been
doing the mile this week in close to
4:20, and IL the three athletes are
able to step up to this time tomorrow
there will be one of the greatest miles
run at the stadium that has ever been
seen on the coast

HUGE SMOKE
IS At TER
N|EEHAN

Willie Meehan's debut few weeks
ago as white hope" was a success.
as he found little trouble in. defeat
ing Rufe Cameron, colored, and. now
that he is Off to good start, the
former newsboy Is going right down
the line to tackle all the big fellows
as they are offered to him. His Sec
ond start as heavy weight is sched-
uled for next Friday night at Pa
vilion rink, when Willie is going to
take on another tar baby, George
Christian, an eastern chocolate drop
who is flashing a bookful of news
paper clippings to show that he was
some swatman in the east.
Christian claims that there is a
prejudice against the colored boxer
in the east. and, unless your reputa-
ton is established. you get little
chance The smoke talks of fighters
like Jesse willard, Frank Moran and
their ilk as being marks. and says
from what he has heard Of Meehan he
must be soft.
Christian Is a proud person. who
displays a heap of confidence. but
whether he will retain this self sat
isfying demeanor when the whirlwind
Meehan tears after him is doubtful.
Meehan is likely to invade the east
after this bout. as he has some nice
offers from clubs along the Atlantic
side to journey there and box. Will
lie says that IL Charley Miller Is not
back here soon he will be on his way
east, as he is sure that he can beat
Miller.
Otto Berg and Sailor Grande are to
meet again. The last battle between
the pair resulted in roughhouse
scrap. 1t was q real Donnybrook. and
there was little to choose between
the pair, though Berg was given the
decision.
Johnny Sodenberg. the Omaha boxer
who has become q popular favorite
with the fans. Is to be given q return
battle with Tom Nickola. The last
scrap between them was whirlwind

STORY
REPEA I Ed
ON LINKS
By H. MCDONALD SPENCER

by II. mCOONALD SI ENSGN
The fate sof the amateurs who have
been playing the English pros. Var
don and Ray, at the Ingleside golf
links reminds one of the Christian
broiiers who were thrown to the lions
TO afford amusement for the Roman
populace.
II was decided therefore that two
local pros, George Smith OF Del Monte
and John Black of Clarefnont, would
be substituted for tomorrow's enter
tainment.
Perhaps the paid performers win
help redeem our local reputation. al
though the invaders being two of
the four greatest living golf experts.
it is no disgrace to succumb to them.
However. ii can not be said that
in either of yesterdays matches our
performers did themselves justice:
perhaps it was stage fright. and II
so they have taste OF what third
raters feel when going against them
selves.
Individually, neither Ray nor Var
don did quite SO well yesterday as
they did the day before. when their
approximate scores were 139 and 13S.
respectively. for the 36 holes. yet
each came through when needed and

Playing In the morning the best ball
of Vincent Whitney. Robin Hayne and
Jack Neville, they won by 8 and q.
with a best ball of SO to 66 by our
triumvirate.
In tho afternoon the Britishers took
on Jack Neville. Frank Kales and
Vincent whitney, winning still more
easily by and 4, going out in 3d.
None of the amateurs played nearly
up to form, Jack Neville showing lit
tie evidence of being a champion.
A little CLEAN Of comfort came
when Frank Kales. took the long
seventh in three, laying a $50 yard
approach almost dead, but the COM
fort was short lived. and turning 3
up. the pros took the eleventh and
fifteentl and ended the match.
Ray continues his tremendous hit
ting from the tee and three times has
carried the long bunker of third on
his second shot
The man who carries this once In
his lifetime talks about 1t for the rest
of his existence. And the protago-
nists of Harry Davis as the longest
driver are commencing to be little
doubtful. There Is no doubt, however.
that the total yardage of Rays long
shots would exceed Davis on the en-
tire round.

Plank and Big Six
Are Ancient Rivals

Fourteen years ago an umpire
named Mathewson and Plank in the
same breath as hurlers in ball game.
1t was the first meeting of these mar
vels. big Six was on the peak for
his alma mater. Bucknell. Plank was
the hope of Gettysburg college. Matty
beat the farmer boy that day 3 to 0,
and Plank evened up in a subsequent
engagement. also 3 to 0. The same
score prevailed when they clashed In
1905, Matty for the Giants and Plank
for the Athletics, the former winning.
On Wednesday at Philadelphia Matty
again copped to 0. The result was
varied in the subsequent game, when
Plank had his turn to 1.

NEGRO WHO FOUGHT
OFFICERS IS DEAD
pital When 1t Was Thought He
Was About to Recover.

Aftei lingering at the Davis hos
pital for a month and seeming to defy
the ordinary limit of human endur-
ance through an exceptionally strong
constitution, Jim Hamilton, the des-
perate negro who with his brother,
Ed, had a battle with police officers
in this city several weeks ago. died
yesterday from the effect of wounds
received in the encounter.
Until the past day or SO he had been
seemingly on the road to recovery and
it was thought that it was but the
question of few days until he could
be removed to the county Jail.
Jim and Ed Hamilton went to the
police station to raise a row with
Deputy Constable Schultz and when
they became abusive, were ordered
from the building by City Detective
C. P. Roebuck. Jim showed fight and
Detective Roebuck attempted to
strike him with his revolver when it
slipped from his hand. After what
was apparently going to be tragedy
in front of the police station, the
Hamilton negroes ran through State
street and a few minutes later Detec-
tive Roebuck and Patrolman J. r.
Phillips encountered them.
Detective Roebuck came near being
killed at at the hands of Jim Hamil-
ton and Ed snapped a revolver in Pa
trolman Phillips face. After hand

Wrested the revolver from Jim Hamil-
ton and opened fire on him. The
wound which caused his death was in
the abdomen.
