After the Battle.
BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. As result
OF last nights fight at the Crescent Ath-
letlc Club rooms both Putzker and Evers
are going about the streets with discolored
optics: Putzker wants to fight again and
get decision, as last nights affair ended
IN draw because of the interference of
the Town Marshal. Evers does not seem
disposed to meet his rival again.
There was considerable talk on the
streets to-day ainSt the action of Mar
shall Lloyd in stopping the two fights, but
the local press came out with long edi-
torlals commenting his stand and urging
that no more prizefghts be permitted in
the classic precincts of Berkeley.
No Holiday Monday.
BERKELEY, CAL. Sept. 4.-The State
University will not observe next Monday
as holiday, though ii is National Labor
day. The non-observance of this day is
contrary to precedent at the university, as
last year on National Labor day.
The State Labor day. which occurs on
the first Monday In October, will be OBJ
served, and the excuse for not observing
next Monday also, is that the university's
close connection with the State, obliges it
to give preference to the State holiday.
