SHERIFF FlliH
I
Qjclone Thompson Declared Winner of Battle, With
; Johnny Murphy When Bob Chatham Slopped the
Fight in the Eighth Round.

(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. ThomDion Is a aeaaonad t-lnr.

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.

core made against the Chicago White
Sox by the three California teams, and
then bonder over the showing of th

There is a trout caught here that ha

The aiiferentj Jund are : Th Oregon

came with the Sox to th coast, and
when th - two teams met - they wer
playing under almost tha same condi
tions. Portland won two straight vic
tories, on a clean shutout.
If this does not come pretty near to
proving th point, nothing will. Port
land has th best team it ha ever had
at this time of the year. r
Portland will be strong In every de
partment of th game when the season
opens In April. 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. Ote Johnson wa

stamps him to be too valuable a man f

Sorts as to the readiness with which
te Johnson Is accustoming himself to
tne peculiarities of playing the diffi

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
