crowd srathf-red to watch the championship contest. Thousands r mired into the gallery wh-n the doors v.i re iinally opened, and Ping before th first preliminary whs called th u;rr portion ft the pavilion was black with spectator.-. iVople coming from points between Vancouver arid Mexico, and embracing w ll-known state officials, memtors of the Judiciary and prominent sporting p ople. nrly took pos'f ssion of the Mgh-prlced seats. At :!." o'cloc k a stir at thf east end of thi puilion Indicated that one of the principals had arrived and was proceeding to his dressing room. Tho word was soon passed" that Gus Ruhlin. lh Akron giant, had reached the scene of conffict from Rlakcn's Six-mile House, and an uproar ensued. Ruhlin went at once to his dressing room, accompanied by Billy Madder. Denver Ed Martin. Charles Goff and Young" (Jibbs, who later 'appeared in his corner when the lieht was called. A rumor that emanated from Oakland reac hed the crowd early la tht evening was to the effect that Jeffries had suffered an Injury to one of hl3 hands before startin for San Francisco, but j opular sentiment condemned the btory as u canard, and the bettln at the ringside was not affected by the incident. M. II. De Young, the mllllonaiie editor. Mayor J. I. I'helan. Mayorelfct Schmitz and almost the entire bench of the county of San Francisco was early at the ringside. Billy Jordan, the veteran announcer, was early orr the scene. When the preliminaries wert: announced and the tirt fi-;ht brought on the awsembled thousands betrayed In some part-the extent of their excitement and cheered vociferously, althouKh the curtuln-rairs were unimportant. Jcftrhs, accompanied by Billy Pelaney, Bob Armstrong. "Kid" Kasan, his brother Jack and De Witt Vancourt left the Oakland side of the bay on the 7:3 train, reaching San Francisco soon after 8 o clock.. Th champion entered the building while the first preliminary was in prcrss, and as Captain Whitman, in charge of the detail of police, cleared the way, proceeded to bis dressing room 'while the throng that filled the building made a demonstration. In ereut Impatience the crowd waited for the appearance of the two gladiators, taking but a passing Interest in the preliminaries. The first, between Billy Condon and Miko Curtin, elsht rounds at 153 pounds, was drawn. BET LITTLE BETTING. The police put some of the spectators out of the gallery, it being much overcrowded. At 0 o'clock people were turned away from the- doors, and probably the greatest assemblage of people ever gathered to witness a prize fight was packed within. The betting at the ringside steadied down just before the big struggle to odds of two to one, although there were bursts of enthusiasm from cither side, in which longer odds w-re offered. Ed Kelly, the Chicago bookmaker, had $:) which he sought to place at PJ to 4. Of thla sum $1,000 was covered, by the Huhlinites. A miner named Bell, just arrived from the Klondike, wagered K) at the same odds. Aside from this tho betting was commonplace. When the second preliminary had been concluded, resulting In the victory of. Spider

Joe Welch over Joe Fields in four rounds, a corps of workmen pounced into the ring with scaling ladders, taking their positions about the myriad of electric lights ranged along the border of a canopy above. The operator at the kinetoscopo machine adjusted his Instruments and a Hash of light through the array of lamps proclaimed that a.11 was in readiness as far as the company was concerned. A moment later a burst of limelight, of 2C6,0uO candle power, Illumined the vast reaches of the pavilion. George Harting, an official timekeeper of the Twentieth Century Club, took his position to the south side of the ring, with Phil Wand, timekeeper for Ruhlin, closely following. 9:28 p. m. Jeffries entered the ringside, shading his eyes. After him came his trainer, Billy Delaney, Ed Eagan, Bob Armstrong and the champion's brother. Jack Jeffries. Harry Corbett, the referee, then stepped In the ring. 9.1:0 p. .m. Gus Ruhlin entered the ring, followed by his seconds. They tossed for corners and Ituhlin won, taking the southwest corner. The extreme heat from the powerful light over the ring made Itself ielt from the very beginning, but it was rot so Intense as that which hampered the Sharkey-Jeffries fight. Two minutes after th9 men entered the ring they were announced by Billy Jordan, who then presented Referee Harry Corbett. Deafening cheers greeted the big fighters, but an instant later, when Police Captain Wl'tman entered the ring to examine the gloves, groans and hisses rilled the vast auditorium. Jeffries, wearing a llaring red sweater, busily chewing gum, sat demurely In his corner, while Ituhlin talked earnestly with "Denver" Ed Martin. On behalf of Tom Sharkey, Tim McCrath challenged the winner of to-night's contest. The men were ordered to break at the order of the referee. Time was called at 9:C7. The Flfljht ly Ilonnd. Round 1 Ruhlin led for the head and landed lightly with left. They clinched. Both men were cautious. Jeffries's left went around Ruhlin's head. No damage was done. Jeffries tapped Gus lightly on the head with his left. The latter cleverly ducked a light left. Jeffries uppercut Ruhlin to the jaw with his left, then landed left on the body but missed another for the head. Ruh'.in countered with the left. Jeffries swung again but missed. Gus blocked ii left Jab for his face. Jim rushed, but Gus came Into a clinch. Jeffries essayed left for body, but the Ohio man got out of harm's way. Jeffries was smiling. The round was tame, with the champion having slightly the advantage. Bound 2 The men went together In a clinch. Huhlln was hooked around the neck with the left. He accused Jeffries of foul fighting. The Akron man then shot in WEATHER EORECAST. Fair To-Day nnd Higher Temperature Promised for To-Morrow, WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.

The champion ltd with the left and was countered. Ruhlin found Jeffries"s head and in a short exchange neither had the advantage. Guj again landed on Jim's face and stopped the latter's attempt to retaliate with strong right.- Huhlln feinted with right and shot straight left on Jeff's nose, but the blow was partially blocked. The men were wrestling when the round closed. Thla was decidedly Ituhlin's round. Hound 3 The men came up strong and liuhlin shot in with right and left, which were stopped. Jim elbowed hl3 way back and forth end caught the Akron man with a terrific left to the neck. Jim pursued Gus and swung with both hands. In a rush Jeff landed weak body blows. Huhlln again .appealed to referee. Gus ducked and was met with straight left. He feinted and came back with an ineffectual short-arm punch. Jeffries easily held the advantage, with Ruhlin constantly complaining. Tho men closed in several times. Huhlln fighting low and Jeffries apparently looking for a chance to land a knockout punch. Gus retreatel . about the ring until the spectators hissed. The round ended with neither man In distress, but with Kuhlin the more worried of the üso. Round 4 AftoT a short exchange at close quarters liuhlin landed on the face. He was forced back and Jeffries smiled as Huhlln again rebuked him. Jeffries landed his left, blackening Ruhlin's left eye. then pursued him, lighting at short range and plainly wearing his man down. ituhlin lacked aggressiveness and re treated as Jeffries swung left and right and missed. Gus led for the face and Jim pushed him across the ring. Then the champion walked his opponent acros the ring again and landed a tierce left on his jaw. ituhlin shot out ineffectual lefts. Jeffries waded in, uhalintr Ituhlin with left and rieht. GllS

went down and took the count. He came j up apparently weak and the gong savea him. Huhlln was plainly in the greatest distress when the round closed. This round much in Jeffries's favor. Hound S-Ruhlln wore a distressed expression when he came up. Jeff went in with straight arm blows but was blocked. Jeffries landed a light hook to tho Jaw ami a short left to the ribs and then again to the neck with his right. A volley followed this, in which the champion forced Gus with lefts to the face. Ruhlin ducked and retreated steadily. Jim followed up on the advantage and bored in. touching Ruhlin beneath the chin with right and forcing him to the ropes, after which Gus went to the Uoor and at the count of five staggered to his feet. He ceased fighting and Jim went in for a knockout. Ruhlin was utterly dazed and missed wild swings while Jim threw him against the ropes from the beginning. In the last minute of the round Huhlln attempted to stop a left lead for the head, and he was forced back and struck squarely in the pit of the stomach. Jeffries was going at him very fiercely, and when the gong struck Ruhlin was assisted to his corner. It looked then as if the fight was practically ended. Ruhlin gave every appearance of being distressed. He said something to Hilly Madden, and then "Den ver" Ed Martin walked to the center ot tne ring and hailed Referee Corbett. "We give up," said Martin, and the fight was over. Referee Corbett awarded the fight to Jeffries. Prize Flshter Showered ivlth Silver. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 13.

The PnRlllsticnlly Inclined Had Faith In Jeffries. Despite the fact that the Jeffries-Huhlln fight took place over two thousand miles from this city, Interest In it was manifested to a large degree by the followers of the fistic arena in this city. Much speculation during yesterday was indulged In as to the duration of the fight, and It was generally predicted that Jeffries would have little difficulty in defending his champion title. The rumor which was spread a few days ago that the champion had refused to do his trainer's bidding and was looking after those matters himself gave rise . to many stories to the effect that Jeffries would either be overtrained or not have the proper attention when he entered the ring, thereby giving Ruhlin undue advantage over him. For this reason the stock of the Swede took a slight jump and the small odds offered by the Jeffries crowd were quickly taken by the admirers of Ruhlin. Frequent bets of 4 to 1 were offered by the Jeffries crowd. There was a number of small bets of even money that Huhlln would not last ten rounds. In Harry Walker's place two bets of J100 to $23 were made that Ruhlin would not last seven rounds. Although the returns from the ring did not begin to reach this city until about midnight, numberless inquiries were made of the newspapers over the telephone as to how the fight was progressing as early as 8 o'clock last night. When the inquirers were told that the returns would not reach here until a late hour nearly all gave their promise of remaining up until some definite news had been received. Most of them made good their promise, and from 11:30 o'clock until 1 o'clock the telephones were kept busy by anxious persons wishing to learn the news of the fight. At the Empire Theater a midnight show was given and returns from the ringside were read from the stage. The brevity of the fight caused the large audience assembled to forget the performance and the greater part left at the conclusion of the fight. RUNNING RACES.

BOTH READY FOR BATTLE

INDIANA AM) NOTRE DAME TEA3IS A COLT EVENLY MATCHED. Tnlk of ro.tt-Sennou Cnrac Iletween Indiana nnd Purdue 1 ,000 Hooters Will Ausist Champaign. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 13. Preparations for the Indiana-Notre Dame game are moving steadily forward, and everything points to one of the fiercest gridiron" battles ever fought in Indiana. On this game depends the ranking of the "Big Three' in Indiana football this year; for Purdue, though beaten, still claims equality with Indiana and if Indiana is beaten by Notre Dame, Turdue will challenge the right of the Hloominpton University to fill second place in the list of prize winners. The size of the stakes they are playing for, the championship of the State, would be enough to make the two teams put forth every energy for this final struggle, even without the added zest given by the question of last year's game. The teams representing the two universities are almost evenly rhatched. Each team has defeated Purdue by a margin of one touchdown, though Purdue gives to Notre Dame a clear title to victory which she refuses to Indiana. In weight, too. the teams are evenly matched, with a slight advantage again in Notre Dame's favor. In the condition of the men there is no difference, for both tearn.s have been training up to this game all season and are now in the pink of condition. There is not a cripple on either team and at this late date it is hardly likely that any of the men will be worked hard enough to be seriously Injured. Notre Dame is through with her hard practice for the game. To-day Coach O'Dea kept the men on the field from 3 to 5:30 o'clock, and nearly all the time was spent in hard scrimmage work. POST-SEASON GA3IE PROIJ ABLE. Purdue Confident of Victory Over Champaign, HI., To-Day. Fpeclal to tha Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 13.-Manager Esterline has received a request from Indiana University asking for a post-season football game to be played at Indianapolis Dec. 9. No official action has been taken, and the matter rests entirely with the faculty of Purdue. However, it may be stated that its decision will depend greatly on the result of the game at South Bend to-morrow. If Indiana wins that contest It Is safe to assert her desires for a post-seasoft game will be satisfied. Tho faculty will decide the question next week. For to-morrow's game the Turdue team stands fit for the struggle and confident of victory. Tho line-up will be as follows: Center. Berkshire; right guard. Reibel; left guard, F. Smith; right tackle. Captain Miller; left tackle, Davidson; right end, Hohn; left end. Leslie; right half, A. Smith; left half, jvnapp; quarter, McCann; full, Berkey. There Is not a weak nor an ailing man in the list, and all are prepared for the battle of their lives. Word received from Champaign states that 1,000 rooters are coming with their brass band to attend the contest. A mass meeting was held In the college chapel last night that was a winner. Nearly every player made a speech, patting each other on the back and whooping up the general spirit of enthusiasm. Champaign has beaten Purdue but twice in the dozen games they have played, and has never won one on Stuart Field. Many a student is hoping that the old "hoodoo" will hold good to-morrow. In last night's practice Mo wry, Knapp, Whitam, Reibel and Leslie were the stars, wading through the scrubs In great style. Both of the husky Smiths were in their accustomed places doing line work. Hard hitting of the scrubs' line characterized the evening's practice. Franklin Itendy for Gnme. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKLIN, Ind., Nov. 13.-The Frank lin College football team leaves in the morning for Richmond, where they play Earlham College. The trip will be a hard one for the players, as they have to leave here early In the morning. The team Is crippled by the loss of Hanley and Tincher, the former being compelled to remain at home on account of business, while the latter has not yet recovered from his injuries of the last game. Hanley's place at guard will be filled by Pritchard. while Wilson will take Tincher's place at tackle. While Franklin expects a harder game than they had two weeks ago, she is still confident of victory. Franklin will probably line up as follows: Left end. Bryan; left tackle. Johnson; left guard, Pritchard; center, Waiden; right guard, Spurgeon; right tackle, Wilson; right end, Luyster; quarter back, Mat thews; left half. Miller; right half, Webb; full back, Branigan. The average weight of Franklin's players Is 15$ pounds, while that of Earlham's is 162 pounds. Prof. A. E. Beston will act as of iicial for Franklin. Cnntnln Howie Disabled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TEURE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 13. Captain Bowie, left tackle of the Rose team, will not be able to play In the game with Wash ington University to-morrow at St. Louis, because he lost the end of a finger In shop work at the Institute 4o-day. LITTLE ENTIILSIAS3I. Situation Before the Ynle-Princeton Game Is Anomalous. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 13. The situation on the eve of the championship football contest between Yale and Princeton is anomalous. The early hours of evening disclosed almost none of the enthusiasm generally wltnesed on the night before the annual battle between the Tigers and the sons of EH. This condition may probably be accounted for by the fact that very few Princeton men have reached New Haven yet. The members of the Yale team retired early. No hard work was done this afternoon, the men being sent through signal practice and punt catching for an hour or more at Yale Field. The Yale spirit of pluck and grit is evident on the campus, but the withdrawal of the crack freshman guard, Glass, has also given rise to misgivings as to the outcome of the game. The feeling on all sides to-night seemed to find expression in the belief that while to-morrow's game would prove a hard-fought one, the contest in reality would not reach oldtime proportions of skill and general excellence. In other words, as one Yale authority put It, the battle would be one between crippled elevens. The usual "night before the battle" crowd did not materialize, d the hotels and cafes were not overc. ded. Betting was extremely scarce, and the few wagers posted were Insignificant in size. The prevailing odds were ten to nine, with Yale the favorite. LOCAL FOOTIIALL TO-DtT. Indianapolis M. T. II. S. and Louisville 31. T. II. S. Will Meet. The reputation gained by the Indianapolis High Schools in defeating the Louisville High Schools, It Is hoped, will be sustained In to-day's game between the Indianapolis M. T. H. S. and the Louisville M. T. II. S. at Newby Oval. These two teams met two weeks ago In Louisville and the former won easily by a score of 17 to 0. Coach Winters Is very confident of the outcome of tho game to-day. For this reason he Intends to work the second backs in the game and give Wheeler, (Hin and Woodbrldge a rest. Cooper, McCrea and Hamlet will take the places of the rtgular piay rs. Following Is the line-up of the two teamg as they will appear for the first half today: Indianapolis. Positions. Louisville.

Shideler Quarter back Files ten Cooper Left half back Hancock McCrea Hight hair back Wilson Hamlet Full back Cartmell Shortridge Tenm Away To-Daj-, The members of the Shortridge football eleven will leave this morning for Crawfordsvllle to play the Wabash College team this afternoon. Captain Dean and Coach Sutphen have persistently worked the members of the squad this week with a view of infusing into the players more team work than they have displayed in any of the games this season. While the players have worked splendidly as moividuals, they lacked In a large degree sulliclent team work to win the confidence of their followers. It Is thought now that this defect has been eliminated and the players expect to make a good showing against their heavier opponents. Following are the players that will go to Crawfordsville this morning: Scott or Dug Dean, left end; Masters or Gipe, left tackle; Bacon, left guard; Connor, center; Gibbs, right tackle; Michael Duean, right guard; Ward Dean. right end; Holdsten, quarter; Hosier, left half; Clark, right half; Tolin. full.

He Repents NVhnt the President Said About Tariff Revision. CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-D. O. Haynes, of New York, who Is in Chicago to-night, said in an interview that the published reports of his remarks last Wednesday evening in St. Paul about President Roosevelt's views on tariff legislation were incorrect. "Of course, I d'.l not say that the President gave the positive assurance that he would make no reference to revision of the tariff in his forthcoming message," said Mr. Haynes. "I called on President Roose velt some four weeks ago. to ask him to make some reference in his message, if possible a recommendation, for a perma neit tariff commission. The President btated that he could not Include this sub Ject in his message without discussing it with the leading members of congress, and he would necessarily be conservative In what recommendations he makes in his first message. 'But. he continued, 'I am In sympathy with any movement tending to put tne revision or ine larirr on a more scientific basis, and I expressed my views on the subject in ray address before tho Home Market Club In Boston last April.'

HOLDS ITS FIRST REGULAR SESSION AT FORT WORTH, TEX. Address of President Stevens Financial and Correspondence Reports Other Conventions in Session. FORX WORTH, Tex., Nov. 13-The twenty-eighth annual convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union began Its session In the First Baptist Church at 9 o'clock this morning. President Lillian M. N. Stevens, of Maine, was in the chair. After devotional exercises the roll call disclosed the presence of delegates from all States and Territories and from Cuba, Great Britain, Switzerland, Mexico and Hawaii. President Stevens, In her address, alluded to the assassination of Mr. McKinley as follows: "Ours Is a land and ours is a Nation where should be no hatred of rule; where there should be no such experiences as have come to us thrice within four decades." She then argued that the chief source of anarchy Is the liquor traffic and urged the overthrow of the liquor traffic as a work of patriotism. She continued: "Among the temperance victories of the past year we gratefully record the action of the Senate in ratifying the treaty for the protection of the African races and we are reliably told that for twenty months relther Boers nor British In South Africa allowed liquor to officers or men. The good effect of England's policy in discouraging the use of liquor in the army is being felt and we have reason to believe that the soldier boys do not feel defrauded. The French minister- of war has sent a message to every commandant of an army corps prohibiting "the sale of liquor with an alcoholic basis In barrack, canteen. In camp or field, and moreover provision is made for lectures before the troops on the effects and dangers of alcoholism. Even Russia has a governmental commission which recommends the prohibition of liquor selling in army canteens. Austria and Germany are endeavoring to strengthen the efficiency of their army by discouraging the use of alcoholics. In view of all this and much more, it Is not at all strange that the Congress of the United States decided that the army saloon in this country must be abolished. "But evidently there Is a concerted plan on the part of the anti-temperance forces to try to prove that the law is productive of evil results, an increase of drunkenness, desertions, riots, etc., and testimony galore to this end is being gathered and given to tho public. Meanwhile the temperance socities, ministers' associations and others are likewise securing testimony of an entirely opposite character. We must make our strongest protest in strongest form against State regulated vice In the possession of the United States." At the conclusion of the president's address Miss Elizabeth W. Greenwood, national evangelistic superintendent, conducted the evangelistic hour. The corresponding secretary's report shows that literature to the amount of 5,0JO.O0 pages has been distributed this year and that the correspondence has Included Cuba, Porto Rico, Mexico and Hawaii. Nineteen States have received assistance from the Francis Willard fund. The treasurer's report shows expenses to be $3,000 less than ten years ago, while the results obtained are Incomparably greater. Receipts for the year 11KW were $24.452 with expenses of $J3.iUS.

Three meetings took place this morning before the opening of the convention proper, the Loyal Temperance Legion, the Purity Conference and prayer meeting. At the Purity Conference a paper was read by Dr. Alice Campbell, of New York, on "Social Purity." THE "NEGRO QUESTION.' Ever Current Problem nefore the Methodist Missionary Committee. PITTSBURG, Nov. 15. The greater part of the third day's session of the general missionary committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church was devoted to the subject of appropriations, but the burning question came up late In the afternoon when the "negro question" was precipitated by a motion made by Bishop Foss, when an application from Alabama conferences for missionary aid came up. The bishop's motion was that appropriations for white work In the South, (Maryland and Delaware excepted), and the colored work, mostlySouth, be referred tö special commltees for consideration. The Rev. Dr. H. Nelson (colored) secured the floor Immediately after the motion had been seconded and made an eloquent plea against the motion. He said the Methodist Church was the only church in th South which stands for the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man: that there Is now a crusade of hate all through the South against the black man and that the colored people down there are looking to the Methodist Church North for help. The Rev. J. F. Goucher, of Baltimore, said that while he was the friend of the colored man, he could not help but know that It Is at this time Impossible to successfully conduct mixed schools, colleges or churches, especially In the South. "It is not the fault of the black man," he said, "It is his misfortune." Bishops H-.milton and Waiden and Dr. Buckley spoice against the motion, after which it was laid over until to-morrow.
