AMUSING AND INTER EsTING.
Things in the M. A. c. Rooms
Last Night.

Thlngs IN the MI. a. Z. Rooms
Last Night.
A splendid program was carried
out in the Mission Athletic club
rooms last night. 1t consisted Of
number Of set-tos and various
spe cialties.
or the former the most note
worthy was a fOur-rOund 60
between II. Homer and w. Lutz.
1t was said that it was a question
Of superiority in the art of boxing
between the two and that last
nights meeting would probably
decide who really is the better man.
They started in like an electric
battery and an interesting scrap
was looked for. Homer had the
advantage in reach, but both az
peared to be about of the same
weight, 10 pounds. Homer has q
peacular style Of fighting. He
holds both hands horizontally in
front OF him and appears rather
awkward, but he managed to keep
Lutz's blows off all right enough.
/ L hC ldltcI ulI oil WI l1oJiCA
seemed to have the best Of it.
Major Old6eld, OF Cincinnati, O.,
who is in the city for the benefit OF
mis- wifo's health, gave the best
exhibition Of handling a drum
majors baton ever seen in San
Antonio. He also performed on the
banjo, and the general verdict was
that he's all right. He is also
very neat dancer, and it may be
truly said that he is an artist in
his line.
Another interesting set-to was
that between Billy Owens and
Claude Eason, Of four rounds.
Owens was the heavier Of the two
and was also very quick. He had
the best OF the ego" in the first
three rounds, but in the fourth
Eason rallied and got in few good
ones on Owens. The blows had re-
markable effect on Owens, and an-
other round would have probably
settled him. Eason was will
ing to go in for another
round, but Billy Owens said
he agreed to spar only four rounds.
He claimed he had the best Of the
fight and did not want to knock
out Eason, who, he said, is a good
friend to him. The fight, however,
was given to Eason.
Adolph Toepperwein, the crack
rifle shot OF San Antonio, who is
Justly entitled to bid for the worlds
championship in that line, gave an
exhibition with the rifle. He shot
at clay chips, standing on his head,
lying on his back, from a mirror,
and every other way, and with only
two exceptions, hit them every
time at the first shot. He also shot
i've clay pipes held out, one by one,
by Steve Butler, and also shot the
ashes from cigar in Buffers
mouth.
Several other events also took
place, but owing to lack Of space it
| is impossible to describe them.
This entertainment was gotten
up by Messrs. Ernest Reich and
ALI Hoarel aud deserved a better
| attendance than was present. 1t
was creditable affair and every
body was we'll repaid for their ad-
mission fee. "Sportl Erness't' says
| it is his intention to arrange enter
tainments OF this kind about once
| a month.

The Callaghan campaign COM
mittee should get a better man
than Deutschman for to carry the
Hebrew vote in his vest pocket.
The Hebrews are very hard to be
led ;and controlled by one man.
The hardest job Moses ever tackled
was to control them when he
brought them out from Egypt. So
how does Selig expect to do it with
his past record, 80 well known to
them? We do our own thinking
and are not 80 easily led, like Mr..
Deutschman claims.

England and France, and (through
Russia's intervention the United
States, intend to take on the ques-

China and Japan. According to
the Times correspondent 1T has
been decided that in the event Of

China's powerlessness and ruin.The

mits herself vauquished and sim

be pointed out to Japan that Eu-
rope cannot allow her to annex one
inch of Chinese main land. Other
matters, including the war indem-
nifty, must be settled between the
combatants. No objection will be
raised to Japan retaining certain
positions asI pledges OF payment,
but no commercial stipulation to
the disadvantage Of the powers
will be permitted. Finally, the
powers will insist that Chinese
currency, shall in the future, be on
the European system, in order to
facilitate the new foreign loan to
which China will be obliged to re-
