Jim Williams was introduced to the 'Frisco sports at the Wigwam, on Friday night, and was given a warm welcome. Horton, the well-known pitcher of this city, leaves today for Missoula, Mont., to play with the team at that place. One of the preliminary bouts at the Daly-Smith Daly-Smith fight in San Francisco on Friday night was between Frank Purcell, of this city, . and Spider Kelly. Purcell is said to have made a gooJ showing. Gus Engler umpired the game to the satisfaction satis-faction of all. A few of his decisions on strikes might have been questioned, but there was manifest desire upon his part to be impartial and his eyesight was accredited with the fault of the decision. Horton has evidently taken lessons of Grasshopper Jim Whitney. When Whitney pitched for Boston it used to be said of him that he was the only human being who could tie his right leg in a bow-knot and wind his left arm twice around his throat while de- livering the ball, but Horton can give Whitney Whit-ney cards and spades and then beat him out.
