HIGH-CLASS HARNESSRACES FOR THE SOUTH
In the opening round Corbett sentErne to the floor and after that thePhlladelphian fought very cautiously.Erne landed the greater number ofblows. He frequently Jabbed Corbettand then went into a clinch before thelatter could retaliate.
His advantage was so slight thatsome of the spectators were inclined tocall ita draw. Both men put up a fastfight. Corbett was the aggressor butwas not quite fast enough, as the localman usually landed first.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25.—YoungErne of this city had a trifle the betterof Young Corbett tonight in their sixround fight at the Washington Sportingclub.

Her Sanity Questioned
Mike is now in'Frisco and has begun
training for the battle with Gardner.The weight question is not such a great
and Important matter with these twoas it is withNelson, as Twinand Jimmyfight best at 135 and upwards.
Mike Twin will not be on hand toassist his big bud in prepplng for themost important of all his battles, asMike has a scrap of his own on, havingsigned to meet Jimmy Gardner in'Frisco Thanksgiving day, two days
after the O'Brien-Sullivan mill.
Jack Twin will train at the pavilion,and while he is now In first class con-dition he realizes that much of hisfuture depends upon the showing hemakes against Philadelphia Jack andwill spare no effort to be in his bestcondition.
Jack Twin will remain In'Frisco untilafter the O'Brien-Kauffman mill Fridaynight, but will return to Los Angelesnext week and begin training for thefight with O'Brien.
This is the substance of the agree-ment between all concerned and wasclosed yesterday by wire, Leap actingin• 'Frisco for Sullivan and McCarey.The articles will be signed today, JackTwin having left last night to meetO'Brien today.
Jack "Twin" Sullivan and JackO'Brien willbox twenty rounds beforethe Pacific Athletic club November 28.They will weigh in at 3 o'clock at 160pounds.

White attached some of Gorman'shorses several months ago as a resultof the suit for debt and Davis nowclaims a lien on these animals for$1400 services as trainer and care takerat the track.
The Costen suit was taken under ad-visement and the suit of CrlttendenDavis against Sheriff White was thentaken up.
Many other statements by witnessesgave inner details of track life.
When Gorman was called upon toexplain the debt he asserted thatCosten had paid him the money to givea certain stable boy at Ascot parkas pay for doping Brlarthrope, a horse,that on form looked good to win
—ifthe
race had been square.
A certain item of the debt againstGorman is for $200 and the facts testi-fied to regarding this item provedhighly interesting to the few Los An-geles track followers who were in thecourtroom.
It Is alleged that Judge Hamiltongot wind of the affair before the raceand that orders were given to theJockey to ride fair, which he did, andwon the race.
Gorman was ruled off the Ascottrack last year Incompany with Baueron the charge that he attempted tobribe a jockey to pull a horse. Gor-man was charged with having paida certain sum to a jockey to hold inhis horse during a race and allow anag at long odds to win.
Although Costen not only denies, butresents the intimation that he wasGorman's partner, Gorman sticks tothat point and asserts that most of thedebts against him were contracted dur-ing this 'partnership.
The case of Costen against Gormanand Bauer for the payment of promis-sory notes amounting to $6000 hasbeen in Julge Bordwell's court for sev-eral days past, but the actual factsin the case did not appear In evidenceuntil yesterday.
The inside workings of a great racetrack, the stories of how races arepulled, horses doped, Jockeys bribedand the public allowed to walkright up and lose its money, while th«;
bookies and hangers-on get all the loosechange around the track, were among
some of the startling revelations madeby P. J. Gorman j'esterday in JudgeBordwell's court as he explained cer-tain items of a bill against him, forwhich Diamond Joe Costen has broughtsuit.

"Iposted $500 with the 'Frisco Exam-iner and $500 with the 'Frisco Bulletin,and will give this money to Hanlon ifhe \u25a0 will at any,time fight Fitzgeraldagain, something that he refuses to do.
"Fitshad Hanlon bleeding: all through
"Igot into the ring with $1000 in myhand and offered it to any doctor thatwould examine Hanlon and find that hohad been fouled. Even Spider Kelly,whois very quick to take action in case ofa foul, failed to get out of his seat. Inthe corner until after the referee ha.lgiven his decision.
*
"Hanlon was so surprised that heasked the referee how he had won, andhe was told on a foul. Hanlon imme-diately ran over to the corner to Fitz-gerald and said: 'Willie, you did notfoul me, but he has given me the de-cision and Iwould be a fool not totake It.'.
"Fitz had Eddie beaten all the way,and as Hanlon was bleeding very badand itdid not look as though Hanloncould possibly last the round out, thereferee stepped inbetween the men anddeclared Hanlon the winner.
"Afterthe fightIfound that the samemen that had told me that Elton was agood referee had allbet their money onHanlon.
"I, as manager of Fitz, wanted tohave the referee changed, but as severalof the sports of Los Angeles told methat Elton was O. X.,Itook a chancson him.
"From the amount of money that waswagered on this contest and also mak-ingHanlon the favorite over Fitz, wasenough to show us that the fight didnot look as itshould.
( "Dear Sir—Iwrite to tell you that
your article on the Hanlon and Fitz-gerald fight, which took place at LosAngeles in September, does Willie Fitza great injustice.
The letter reads like the wailings ofa disappointed child and the untruthscontained in the printed copy are so evi-dent that denial is unnecessary, unless,forsooth, It be for the Information of a(misguided public east of the Rockiesand to correct a false impression which(may have resulted from the publication.! The letter is as follows:
The Letter
j Statements are made in this letter[which are not compatible with thetruth, and reflections are made uponthe integrity of Eddie Hanlon, CharlesEiton and Tom McCarey.
Local fight fans read with undis-guised surprise and chagrin a letterpurporting to be written and signed byJohnny Reid, manager of Willie Fitz-igerald, which was printed in the Police[Gazette issue of October 21, relating to!the Hanlon-Fitzgerald fight, which oc-tcurred here September 5.
Ifyou have friends in the East whoare coming to California, tell themthe low colonist rates are now in ef-fect from all eastern points to Cal-ifornia via the new Salt Lake Route.This line Is far ahead of all otherwestern lines for beauty of scenery andexcellence of equipment.

\u25a0 IfReid wrote such a letter and madethe statements contained In the pub-lished copy It will be only the manly
thing for him to humbly apologize toMessrs. Eiton, Hanlon and McCarey orleave the coast with his charge, :WillieFitzgerald, who was beaten almost toa; \u25a0• i*\u25a0:• \u25a0

Spider Kelly did not sit idly in hischair while Reid made his $1000 flash,but Spider Kelly got on his feet andwhen Reid made his celebrated "beef"about the decision Spider Kelly wasright at Mr. Reid's elbow, attenmptingto tell him where he could find a seatand a fan.
Reid did not flash $1000 and call for.aphysician. He "beefed" because Fitzhad lost, but he did not deny that Fitzhad fouled Hanlon, because It was tooevident to the audience, which JeeredFitz on other occasions during theearlier stages of the game, when Eddiewas getting In tellingwhallops to Fitz'bread basket.
Reid's Flash
Hanlon did not make the statement toFitzgerald that is credited to him anddid not talk to Fitzgerald in the ring.
Fitz was whipped and all out whenhe fouled Hanlon. Jeffries sat at theringside, witnessed the fouls and madethe statement after Eiton had awardedHanlon the decision that the decisionwas eminently fair and correct, as hehad witnessed the delivery of three foul
blows by Fitzgerald in that last round.Hanlon did not run across the ring
and ask the referee how he had won.
No complaint was ever heard fromJohnny Reid as to the referee.
Fitz never had a peep for a decisionfrom the tap of the gone until he fouledEddie Hanlon three times In the lastround, twice after being cautioned byElton, and at a time when Fitz wasbulging through the ropes, hanging onfor dear life, gasping for breath andpractically knocked out. That he wasbeaten and whipped to a standstill Isthe universal verdict of all who saw thefight.
Fitz never shed a drop of blood andsustained not the slightest scratch toshow that he had been ina fight.
Any imputation upon the honesty orintegrity of these men Is a direct slapat the game on thte coast, as they aremore than ordinarily prominent in thepromotion of the sport InSouthern Cal-ifornia and are recognized In an en-tirely different light than that In whichReid has placed them.
The answer of these men and theInterested public is that the fight wason the square so far as Hanlon, Eltonand McCarey are concerned. Whatevercrooked work may have been contem-plated or wrought by the Fitzgeraldcontingent is up to them to answer for,
as it was not a matter of publicityandis not credited here.
On the presumption that Reid wrotethe letter, it is condemned by all whowitnessed' the fight or are acquaintedwith Charles Elton, Eddie Hanlon orTom McCarey.
For Willie Fitzgerald's sake it ishoped by the local sporting fraternitythat his manager did not make the
statements attributed to him, but it isequally fair to presume that the PoliceGazette would not publish the letter ifit was not bona fide.
"Yours respectfully,"JOHNNY REID,
"Manager of Willie Fitzgerald."
Generally Condemned
"I will at any time match Fitz withIlanlon, and Iwillgive him any sidebet from $1000 to $5000. OrIwill givehim $500 to sign a set of articles foranother fight with Willie. Kindlygivethis your attention and oblige
the fight, whileFitz did not take a longbreath or have a sweat up.
