sons began to scramble over one another Tn their endeavors to get the most per mits, fearing that somebody would make more money than the rest. Then some of them joined the ancient order of knights or the sledgehammer, and did their very pest to knock everybody else in sight. Not content with this display of jealousy, some of them even resorted to the expe- diency Of placing events on the board that were disgrace to pugilism; such, for instance, as the Sharkey-Goddard amour. And when the crash came these persons were the loudest calamity -howlers.
 It Is hoped by all admirers of the manly art that these things will not be repeated, as many performances of that kind com ing after the Fftzsimmons fiasco, will lay the old goose out dead as the proverbial doornail.
 Among those contests expected for the future, one Of the most interesting can not fail to be that between George Green and Tommy Ryan, the famous welter- weight. The National Club was notified by telegram Thursday that Ryan would board flyer" tomorrow and start for this city. It Is the intention to match the men to fight at catch weights some time during the latter part of next month for 60 per cent of the gross receipts. Green will have slight advantage, probably,

It Is commonly believed that this would De a terrific encounter while it lasted, as the men are both rough and heavy fight CTS, although few think the Vallejo ma rine would fail to meet a Waterloo, with no Grouchy on whom to lay the blame.

OARSMEN ENTER THE
 BASEBALL FIELD.

Some two hundred enthusiasts braved the chilling north wind that swept over the Presidio Athletic grounds last Sun day to witness the Ariels and Dolphins open a series of baseball games to be played by hines from the various rowing clubs of the bay. The game proved vic tory for the Ariels. Those who went to see ragged ball were very much disap- pointed. For four innings both hines played like pennant winners, Roach of the Dolphins holding the opposing side down to two hits, while O'Connell, the Ariel twirler, proved almost as big a conundrum to the boys from North Beach. The score at the end of the fourth was two to one in favor of the Dolphins. The fifth, however, proved a veritable Klondike to the Ariels, and from that time to the end of the game their lead was never .lessened. The score was Ariels IS, Dolphins 2.
 The next game will probably be be- tween the South Ends and the Ariels. To- morrow evening in consequence of their defeat the Dolphins vii banquet the vic tors.
 Baseball has not, however, diminished the Ariels interest in rowing. Though the weather of late has hardly been fav- orable to aquatic sports still the Ariels have managed to keep their muscles linn bered up. Not a Sunday passes that the

CHECK TO BE

The racing committee of the C.. A. c. c. will present an important amend ment at the next meeting of the board on February 5, calculated to check H. legal pacing in the annual relay. It Is in effect that the committee shall
 have power to appoint two judges for each relay who shall patrol their re- spective relays and shall be empowered to disqualify any rider who violates the rules. Such disqualification shall be final. If this amendment passes, it will probably have the desired effect.

OLD SOL AGAIN
 SHINES ON PUGILISM.

At last 1t really appears as if the City Fathers have recovered from their at- tack of coyness in the matter of refusing permits for boxing contests to the local clubs, and it will not be long until lovers of the ring will be given opportunities again to feast their eyes on the old fa- miliar sights. When the board granted a permit to the Empire Club the ice was broken, and although the original inten- ton may have been to put up a sign, "Dangeri" near the break, it was hard to see how the other clubs could be held off without the appearance of rank favorit- ism. So three were granted yesterday.

Yet there is no doubt of one thing-that is, that the local clubs themselves are largely responsible for the frost that has lately scintillated on the gloves. When they had things all their own way, permits could be had for the asking, and the public was taking enough interest to spend the glittering ducats on every cred itable performance, the so-called fight promoters" in their blind avarice, pro- ceeded to hit the old goose that was lay ing the golden egg a whack on the head, from which she is recovering but slowly.

AN AGED VETERAN

\ DETROIT VETERAN TALKS OF THE WAR
AND 4 LEGACY 1T LEFT HIM.
When the annual reunion of the G.. \.
K. is held, Michigan is always well rep
resented. Around the camp fires of the
encampment our boys tell of the hard
ships they have gone through and the
listener, who knows nothing of war,
wonders how they lived to tell the tale.
Few men, who followed old glory and
escaped the shot and shell, returned
home without some legacy as constant
reminder of their war days. Our repre-
sentative found Veteran O. p. Newcomb
of Detroit, at his place of residence, No.
237 Second st. Mr.. Newcomb told him
how the little conqueror had rendered
him invaluable service. We give his ac-
count here and some words of advice
tersely told. He said:
~ lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of ~
mules, is not tempting water to drink,
but was one of many who drank it,
known there was death i'm every swallow.
This illustrates but one of the many
hardships and privations passed through
during the civil war, and it is no wonder
that G.. A. II. men suffer from aches and
pains, the most prevalent of these being
kidney disorders. l am pleased to note
that great many others who passed
through as trying ordeals as |, have
now learned how these troubles can be
mitigated. When say Doan's Kidney

MAY BE THE MISSING LINK,
That Mysterious and Useless Organ of
Man, the Vermiform Appendix.

A distinguished paleontologist claims
to have discovered facts serving TO show
that the vermiform appendix, that mys-
teriously useless organ that has annoyed
the human family so much Of late
years, is no more nor less than the ruoi-
mentary remnant of the giZzard with
which he believes the monstrous pro.
genitors of man Of the tertiary period
of the earth $ existence were supplied.
Some of these gigantic creatures, lizards
in form birds in kind, animals in some
\ functions, are believed TO have uevel-
Vped by the gradual stages described by
the supporters of the theory of evolu-
tion into the semblance of human be-
ing.
If the bird form be the original of the
human race, it is reasonable TO believe
that it may have been supplied with
gizzard, which in the bird of modern
time possesses definite and important
function in the digestion of the food.
The bird having no teeth the food is in
many cases swallowed whole. Some
birds can crush the food with their
beaks, but normally the digestion is
permitted largely through the agency Of
the gizzard, where the food is ground
into fine PARTICLES The interior coating
of this organ is rough and muscular.
Many birds swallow, as far as the giZ-
zard, small pebbles that aid the process
of attrition. Thus if the latest theory
be correct curious paradox is present
ed. Whereas in the beginning, as now,
the gizzard performed its functions
most satisfactorily when supplied with
indigestible substances, its rudiment
that now remains in the human struc
ture becomes center of dangerous con-
ditions as soon as any foreign substance,
and especially any hard matter, is de-
posted in it.
One of the marvels of anatomy for
some years has been this strange sac III
the upper intestines, apparently with
out the least function in the digestive
system and capable of being removed
without affecting the health of the pa
tient save TO a favorable degree. Re-
searches have revealed many traces of
such rudiments in the human system
Darwin's studies brought TO light many
resemblances between man and the
lower orders. 1t may now be that the
despised vermiform appendix will be
exploited as the real missing link
binding man to the past ages, when life
assumed many forms that are today un-
known. Star.
