hung a mark on the governor and tne i attorney general today in its fight for existence, but this cannot be taken as meaning that the purpose of the state authorities to prevent the meeting of Jeffries and Johnson in these parts has ( been frustrated or even checked. The governor is still determined that nothing of that kind shall happen. Judge Van Nostran not only denied Attorney General Webb's prayer for an Injunction to restrain Louis Blot from going on with the contest between Langford and Kaufman tomorrow but threw a few hot ones into the state officer for trying, as he expressed it, to take liberties with the court. The judge told Mr. Webb that these boxing matches or prize fights had been going on in San Francisco for the past nine years; that Mr. Webb was not only aware of their frequent occurrence but was a witness of many of them. AVebb Rapped by Court. He also told him in so many words that if it was his desire to step in now and take a hand in the regulation of local affairs his duty would seem to he to proceed against persons who had violated the same law he was trying to have enforced and not against persons who had not violated It as yet.

with Chief of Police Martin, who is said to know, his duty perfectly, although
he is of civic necessity friendly to the sporting element, he called off the militia and said he 'would rely on the chief to eee that the law was not violated, or if it was, to Immediately arrest the violators. That was good enough for Blot, who

What will happen after that remains to be seen. No matter what happens to the fighters of lesser importance, It Is'-a settled conviction with those who have come to see Jeffries and Johnson contest for. .the. world's championship that the big doings will transport to the sage brush if they transpire at all. The feeling is that if the governor is In earnest and there is not the slightest grounds for the hope that he' is only "making a showing" the cham
pion gladiators will never be suffered to put up their hands In this city of fearful and wonderful politics and quick changes of weather and front. Tex Rickard. whose gameness and
bitter disappointment compel sympathy, will temporize no longer than tomorrow night. He knows what has been handed to him in this land of promise and promises and is in receipt of many pressing Invitations to come home to Nevada and bring his fight with him. Rickard Ignorm Cleaon. Although Gleason Is still holding out for San Francisco and offering to bet that after all the fight will take place here, everybody . understands Jack's position and his raison d'etre in this enterprise evidently does not weigh much In Rickard's calueulations. Rickard sent two telegrams of the same tenor t--Reno and Goldfleld. He is assured that everything is all right at both places. .LGoldflela offers to build an arena and guarantee him that the gate receipts will amount to as much as $120,000. s The Reno proposition Is equally generous. The guarantee cuts little figure with Tex -as he knows the show will take in more than the sums mentioned no matter where he takes It. His telegram said that he would not play one town against the other nor demand
I more than each has offered him, but
that he will take the fight where he thinks he can draw the greatest crowd. Tex Going to Reno. - His purpose is to start for Reno tomorrow and confer with the committees representing that city and Goldfield on Sunday Rickard has been told by the advance guard of the eastern sporting army that Reno Is calculated to make a bigger hit with the prospective eastern patrons of the mill than Goldfleld because they have heard more about it than they have about the other place. , The facilities for parking private and special cars is also better at the divorce mart and there is at least one hotel there as a matter of common knowled ge. The only thing that will keep the fight In Frisco Is the fiat assurance of the governor that he has changed his mind about Its being In violation 6t the law and that he will not seek to apply to It the fifty year old statute which makes prize fighting a felony and something that should be headed off at all cost.

MEMPHIS
Brooklyn, June 18. "Nap" Rucker, after pitching fautless ball for twelve innings during which he allowed only four scattered hits, handed the game to the cubs yesterday afternoon at Washington Park by a wild pitch, allowing Steinfeldt to tally from third. But Chance's men would probably have won In spite of Rucker's attempt to hit the top of the grand stand, for Tinker slammed the next ball for a single. It was a pitcher's struggle all the way. Brooklyn landed safely ten times, nine off Pflester and one off Brown who relieved him in the eleventh, but the hits by Dahlen's fast gollng superbas were so scattered that they did no damage, only two of them coming In the same inning. That the present series between the home team and the cubs"has sent the interest of the Brooklyn fans soaring was evidenced by the big crowd that turned out to see the game.

Glidden Pilgrims Suffer Penalties After Hard Drive From Sheffield.
Memphis, Tenn.. June 18. The country the Glidden cars traversed yesterday from Sheffield to here would be excellent for aerial navigation, but It !s not at all good for automobiles which must keep on the road. The 162mile trip over what they are pleased to term roads in this section of the country, caused every kind of trouble known to autolsts and left but three cars with a perfect score. All three, the Chalmers No. 5, the Premier No. 2 and the Maxwell No. 7 are in competition for the Glidden trophy. All the cars in the Chicago cup have received penalties more or less large.

Manager Ketchell has strengthened the team considerably1 by' adding two new bahkstops, a new southpaw hurler and Fowler will be bacn to hold down the Initial sack. The battery to be used tomorrow, will not be known until time for the game to start. With the additional new players, which will have a decided effect on the team, Hammond should easily defeat their opponents. The All Stars are a
fast and experienced aggregation and the locals will be forced to play all the t' me. The diamond Is In excellent shape and if it should rain tonight it will help to put the field in better shape. The grounds are the fastest in the region and although the outfield Is not what it should be It is only a matter of time until the entire grounds will be leveled off.

BADGER CREW LACKS PRACTICE
Poughkeepsie, N. Y June 18. With Schmidt of the varsity crew laid up with mumps, the Wisconsin crew is handicapped for a couple of days. Schmidt's place Is being taken by a substitute. The freshman crew was unable to pull an oar yesterday morning because the members were busy with examination. Last night, however, they were out for an eight-mile pull under ideal conditions. Members of the squad declare that they left a better freshman crew at home than the one here because the men who stayed could not come to Poughkeepsie without flunking In their exams. The Badgers are handicapped because of the lack of practice, and it Is generally believed that It will cost them the race.
