They FOUGHT A DRAW
BANTAMS' BOUT BEFORE THE
MANHATTAN CLUB
The Championship Still Undecided.
Both Banks and Mangerina Were
Cautious-Monday's Match

Tom Banks and "Kid" Mangerina fought
a ten!round bout before the Manhattan club
last night. 1t was far from being as exciting
as their previous meeting when Banks was
laid out by Mangerina Both men pursued
careful tactics and neither left many open
ings for chance swings on the jaw. They
agreed that if both were on their feet at the
end of the ten rounds the fight was to be
declared a draw Banks did practically all
of the leading, and had the better OF the
bout, but never did he have Mangerna 60
ing, and the "Kid" made a much better
showing than had been anticipated.
During the first few rounds Banks landed
several left leads in Mangerna's face and
tried for the body In the fourth round,
which was the only swift one during the
fight, Banks landed hard right swings on the
side of the head, but in mix-up Manger-
ina planted his right and left on the colore1
mans face. The men were very clever at
ducking swings. Mangerina was punished
somewhat, but Banks seldom felt the
weight of his opponents fists. George Ar.
bucks acted as referee, and as both were
fighting at the end of the tenth round the
event was declared draw. Banks weighed
lVo PouHus anu MdHSeiiHd soiheW Hdl
lighter.
There were two preiminaries. One was a
six-round go between Ben Lewis and Mexi-
can Joe. Lewis outcassed his opponent
and made hard, swift fight, Furnishing Joe
severely. The latter threw up the sponge at
the end of the second round. "Kid' VII
liams and young Smith fought four rounds.
Williams had slightly the better of the bout,
but it was declared draw.
RING NOTES
Bob Jones, the heavyweight, who is
matched to fight Hank Griffin fifteen rounds
before the Los Angeles Athletic club Mon
day night, refereed the preliminares. Jones
says he is in good condition and feels very
confident. Charles Alexander, Grffin's
trainer, was one of Banks seconds. Alex
ander is sanguine that Griffin will defeat
Jones.
Jimmy Trimble and Ben Lewis, who are
matched in fifteen-round go before the
Manhattan club, next Friday, were intro
duced.
"Kid" Williams accepted challenge
from Sammy Maxwell to fight at l25 pounds
"Young Fitsimmons,' who issued a chll-
lenge to any l00-pound man, was asked to
meet Harry Brown. Ftzsimmons declined
on the ground that Brown is colored.
Bob Thompson will be one of the princi-
pals in the next fight the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club gives after the Jones-Griffn event
Thompson will be ma.hed with Denny
Maxwell or Fred Mueller.

Cottage Destroyed by Fire

The department responded to an alarm
OF fire last night at IL o'clock from box 81,
corner of Bellevue avenue and Montreal
street. The fire was in a four-room cottage,
the property Of w. r. Stratton, superin-
rear Of No. 722 Bellevue avenue. The cot
age was unoccupied and was totally de-
stroyed. Mr. Stratton visited the place
about an hour before the fire was discov-
cred, and he is of the opinion that the fire
was of incendiary origin. The fire was
burning too fiercely to admit of anyone ven
turing close to the house to make an invesl
tigation. The loss amounted to about $400.

AT THE THEATER

THE LOS ANGELES.-A good house
downstairs and packed gallery greeted
Vests minstrels last night and gave evi-
dence that this form of entertainment has
not lost its popularity, although it has be-
come customary to denote the extreme old
age of witticism by CHASING it as having
done duty for negro minstrels
This organization must be credited with
comedians whose jokes are not Of the silu
rian order, and with ballad singers of more
than ordinary merit. Mr.. West as inter
locutor dressed in court costume, with
powdered wig, looks as if he had just
stepped out of the Queens Lace Hand
kerchief." He is fanked by black spirits
aud white, who render the usual melange
OF ballads, interspersed with jokes and hu-
morous eccentricities. Prominent among
the comedians are Carroll johnson and Tom
Lewis, both of whom are favorites and kept
the house in an uproar.
The singing of Jose, tenor, and Chas.
Kent, baritone, deserve special mention,
while the veteran basso, ii. w. Frillman,
IN the quintette, sang with his old time
depth and power. The rendition by this
quintette of the intermezzo from "Caval-
leria Rusticana," notwithstanding the hack
neyed nature of the selection, was excellent
After the elaborate first part, an olo is
given which contains some clever and anus
ing specialties, the performance concluding
with an afterpiece entitled Remember the
Maine," in which Mr.. West is seen as Cap.
tain Sigsbee drilling company of tars who
certainly go through their evolutions in
brilliant and mastery style. The ntroduc-
ton of President Mckinley, Admirals Dew
ey and Schley, who subsequently seat them
selves in box draped with the Stars and
Stripes, is signal for applause, however
much the taste of such stimulation may be
questioned. The minstrels will finish out
the week.

Moses in his wisdom forbade his people to eat of those living creatures of the sea that nature had left bereft of fins and scales. The philosophy of that law is at this late day just begin ming to be appreciated by the scien- lists in this most scientific age since human nature began to remold and reconstruct a planet that once was an appalling wilderness. In consequence he that traps unhealthy shrimps must suffer. Cookery within the next few days will turn his thoughts from milk, sardines and beef-fat butter and con fine his knowledge to the creeping bearded: crustaceans of the briny deep. that from the healthy he may separate the diseased and place within the firm grasp of the law those who profit from the latter kind.
 Dockerys efforts to force from the market shrimps that before their de- mise were ailing from various causes will be under the direction of the Board of Health. This plan to further insure the health of San Franciseo's people has been determined upon since the return of Dr. Clinton from his trip abroad While in England Dr. Clinton learned that an. epidemic of typhoid
 
 fever was raging in Glasgow; and that the scientists were making strenuous efforts to ascertain the cause of the prevalence of the ofttimes fatal dis ease. Prior to leaving England the physician learned that the scientists had completed their investigations and had placed the blame on that luscious bivalve the oyster. Quantities of oys- ters were found rocking with the germs of typhoid fever, and they were condemned and destroyed. Shortly after this action was taken the disease began to loosen its hold upon the peo- pie. and it was soon stamped out.
 This experience caused Dr. Clinton to determine that like result should not exist in San Francisco if it could be avoided. and on his return he began his investigations. The ;, physician found that shrinps reared and taken from the bay in the neighborhood of

A firm stand was taken against the introduction of this testimony as evil dence on the ground that it was hear say evidence, but 1t was agreed that the testimony might go if Mir. Griffing would admit who was his informant. He refused, but Thursday evening said it was sherman T. Blake
 When Blake was placed on the stand he admitted that he had heard the thing to be true, but in turn refused to say who had told him. On being cross examined, he admitted that he had given away some things happening at a.. session of the San Francisco Travellers in his. eagerneSs to pre- judice the cause of the accused men. Then it was that Chairman Mos crop, whose eminent fairness is ques- he would be surprised to hear of any member doing this, but in the case of an ex-president like Blake he thought it especially questionable :...
 At another time Dunn referred to the positive evidence" introduced as regards the publication in The Call, when the chairman corrected him with the statement that all the .proof so far introduced had been denied by the interested persons and had generally come from an unreliable source.
 Over thirty members of the Pacific Coast Commercial Travellers Associa- tion have applied for membership in the inner circle as a sign that they have the moral support of the strong est organization of its kind in the State.
