(BMint Kw by LoofMt LcaMd Wlra.) T Ban Francisco. March 14. Th fight ibatween Cyclona Thompson and Johnny , Murphf at tha Mission street arena to i day -was ateODad by Sheriff Bob Chat ham of San Mateo county, In the ala-hth round, and the decision .waa tfven to Thompson by Beferea Roche. , By the time the eighth round was ' reached the procession of patrons toward the point of exit was as larc as It generally la when the contest -Is over. Murphy's lip was badly torn from a bump of the Cyclone's head and the pugilists were so blood-bedabbled that the diaplay was unlovely to look upon. Murphy was In the worse plight of the two. - Be was tired and In the lat ter round he had been subjected to severe battering around the stomach -and libs. - It seemed as though it was 'Imply his pluck that kept him going and soma' of the spectators who had rot left their seats were shouting to - Referee Roche to stop the brutal af . falr. ' Packy McFarl&nd was one of the 1 first Tto raise his voice In a demand J that' the men; be 'separated. As early fas the second round McFferland re 'marked: ' "I can't stand anything Ilka this," ' andi be left his seat near the ropes and ' aent farther, back Into the crowd. Referee Roche is a bit of a Bpartan tin the affairs of the ring. It Is against ' tils athlce apparently to make a move Jin cases like todays unless the sec onds of either man signify that they are willing to acknowledge defeat - There was no intimation from Mur 'phy's corner that bis handlers con , sldered the native son In a bad way ' so Roche held aloof and allowed Sher iff Chatham to take the initiative. When Chatham interfered there was not a voice raised In protwit. In facj the feeling was that he had done the right thing at the right moment. Johnny Murphy clung to Roche as though divining that the referee would decide In' favor of the other man and oergea mm not to do so. "Don t give a decision. I am as strong as ever and will fight on If you will let me," pleaded Murphy. "I can't help it," said Roche. "The sheriff has called a halt and I declar Thompson the winner." That the affair 'would be a stubborn contest was a foregone conclusion, on account or the known refutation o each of . the llghtweighta for animal couraro.

Sam Hild reth still la the wlxard of the turf. When he announced at Lo Angeles about a week ago that he would ship the winner of the California derby to the New Orleans winter feature the Crescent City derby across the hot sands and plains of Texas and annex the big end of th $10,000 purse, he wai laughed at It 1 admitted that he had a great horse In Meellck that he was dead game but the wise men declared it was an Impossibility for a horse to stand such a journey and be unloaded from a car a couple of days before the race, then go out and defeat the speedy Chapul tepee, pride of the Burlew & O'Neill, stable; Angelus and Plnkola. "You may get third," was the way tney put it; Dut mis aian t reaze una reth. "No. slree, I'v got th winner," he declared, "and you'll see." And he had. Meellck, th sturdy son of Planude Illlthyla, whose breeding carries him back to the great St. Simon and whose maternal dam was Isls, with "Old Man" Eddie Dugan, James R. Keene's crack rider, riding like a demon, swept past the winning post this afternoon, carry ing the Hlldreth colors -home In front of the mighty . ChapuJ tepee, and with the other champions beaten orr. He won by less than half his length, but he was going away at the finish and was by all odds the best horse In the race. It was glorious weather and the crowd was the largest ever seen upon tne tracK. When the crack came out for their preliminary gallops all interest cen-1 tered upon Cbapultepec and Meellck, and both were stripped for the battle lor a ainsaom. The post bugler sound ed one minute after 4, and the four great thoroughbreds were soon on the track. Passing proudly In review, Angelus passed in parade with Notter sporting the second color of the Burlew & O Nelll stable on his neck. Then came Meellck, with Dugan Came then the main reliance of the Burlew-O'Nelll followers, great Chapul tepec, with Puddln' McDaniels chewing gum as usual. Trailing came the Fixer candidate. Plnkola, with Minder up. The Burlew & O'Neill candidates were always favorites in the betting at odds on. Eleven to 20 was the best offered against their chances. Meellck opened at 6 to 1. but the weight of the money of Hlldreth and his friends forced the price down un til as they lined up In front of the barrier the best orfer was 8 to 6. Plnkola was hacked -from 4 to JV4. It was exactly 4:04 a they lined up at th post and after a few prelimin aries, backings and filling Starter uassiday shouted: "Come on!" They're Off to Perfect Start. He pressed the button that released th barrier and sent them away to a perfect start. Down past th stand they swept, but before the first eighth had been covered McDaniels, following hi riding Instructions, sent Chapul tepee to the front. With great space devouring strides he swept away from his field and seemed about to make a runaway race of It when Dugan, ap parently .trying to follow nut th big colt, sent his mount up to him. At the quarter Meellck and Chapul tepee were running like a team, but before the three eighths post Was reached th sprinting ability of the Burlew A O'Neill crack showed and he pulled away from his opponent. At in ijair Chapultepec was going easily, two lengths ahead of Meellck. who in turn was a similar distance In front of Angelus, While Plnkola was trailing three lengths still farther back and already hopelessly beaten And so they swung along at a terrific clip, but maintaining the same relative positions on past the three quarters seven eighths post finally around the stretch they came the Hurlew A uixeiu rncer well m front, seemingly having the foot of his field. Crowd Ooes Crasy. The great crowd was crasy with ex citement. Wild, cries of "Ohapultepec wins!" "How could Chapultepeo lose?" Where your Hlldreth crack now?" Even a it seemed the favorite would win, Dugan got busy. Crouched away up on the neck of hi magnificent thoroughbred, whip and spur flying, he was riding like all possessed, and even as Cnapultepec's stride began to short en Meellck began to lengthen. Thirty yards from the Judges' box it seemed an Impossibility for him to get up, but the never-discouraged Dugan kept at it and a few jumps from the finish they were on even terms. Then, trv as he wouia ana aia, jvicuameis coin a not maintain his advantage, and they passed the Judges' stand with the Hlld reth colors flaunting a good neck .In front of Chapultepec. Angelus was third, two lengths back. and Plnkola fourth, beaten off. The mile and one eighth was done in 1:51 4-6. After, the race Burlew complained that McDaniels had taken things too easy in the closing strides, but while Dugan outrode him there was little doubt but that, the best horse In the race "brought home the money." BEAVERS SHOW GRAND Manager Walter McCredie Has Gathered Together Fast est Bunch of Youngsters That Ever Donned Port land Uniforms and Will Push to the Front. What does the tin can gang think of the Beaver bunch nowT Guess Walter was there with the right slant when he opined a few months ago that Portland would have as good If not better team than any other burg In the league. Walter Tj a foxy manager, and no Josh. He saw that th local fan wanted a winning aggregation, and knew they would support him to their last kopeck. So Walter sniffed around a little and gathered In a bunch of youngster full of vim and the love of victory. Now all he ha to do 1 to show them the trick, and they're on. If Portland doesn't win with this bunch, then she ouaht to step back back into the Northwestern league. It too awful to rnntnmnlate. and W hope, in fact we know Walter and his valiant band will spar us the humiliation. Stop a moment and compare the core made against the Chicago White Sox by the three California teams, and then bonder over the showing of th Oregon lan. All winter long the backbone of the Frisco team has been playing ball, so that when they met the Sox they were In as good condition as they -will be at the opening of the Coast league season. Esola, Jones, William, Mohler, Hilda brand and several of the young pitcher to be tried eut by them have been play ing In the winter league, or in Inde pendent teams in sunny California, Mel choir, the right fielder, had been" win tering in Colorado, and was in fine con dltlfln when he reported.

Tne nsn Ing gsound is reached in one days travel from this city oer the old Coos Bay wagon road via Sugar Pin and the Mountain Home, better known as the "Nineteen-Mile house." The Nineteen-Mile house is the last place passed before making the climb and the drop down into the canyon, and If you have overlooked any sup piles here Is the last chance to stock up. When ramp Is reached and you are located for the time being In an Ideal camping . ground, and fully eoulDDed with plenty of hook and lines you can begin pulling oUt'the speckled beauties. The season for fishing in this creek begins about the first of May and lasts for three months, during which time there are thousands of trout caught Th best fishing Is from the ith or jane untu tne 1st or July. , .

They are caugnc out. eacn year, ana tne same generous supply is there the following season. The trout naught In this stream are of five different species. There is a trout caught here that ha adapted Itself to the environment and ha become a different specie from the same trout when found la other stream. ' . . . . . . .

Ther is th large and small rainbow trout, and the upper part of the stream ha so changed this trout that it really become, a-native of Brewster, and many fishermen call - it the Brewster trout. It is th gamiest of the brook trout, and while th small specimen attain only a length of about six incnes, tne larger rainoqne trout fly easily and respond equally as well to a grass hopper or a bait or saimon eggs. Perhaps more than any other trout this specimen varies With its surround ings. In the deep pool of water It is very hard to see, becoming so colored a-to resemble, the creek bottom.

The catching staff will b tip top, th pitcher will be in good condition and capable of taking car of their end of the game, there will be a fast, steady infield, while th outfield will be taken car of by three cracker- jack fielders, all of whom, can hit at a clip of .280 or better. Just who will take car of the utility end of the game can not be told now.

Prom Santa Barbara com great re Sorts as to the readiness with which te Johnson Is accustoming himself to tne peculiarities of playing the diffi cult corner, third base. When you first think about his playing there it seems odd, but further thought will convince one of the fact that he Is the Ideal man for th position. He Is big. fast, has a good arm, a long reach, can throw from almost any position and Is a qnick thinker. . And furthermore hi nuting ability is something that will help the team through more than one ght game. Kya yan. who was considered to be tha logical candidate.
