BLEND ORATORY
AND BOXING At
EXCELSIOR CLUB
Good Bouts Between
Amateurs.

A brace of good boxing bouts, an ex-
hibition by Joe Kennedy and Spider Kelly
and a lot of oratory made up the enter
tainment provided by the Excelsior Ath-
letic Club last night. The oratory devel-
oped over the refusal of Billy Hoskins
and Charley Vickers to put on the gloves
until the purse of $35 was placed in the
hands of the referee.
Secretary Friedlander explained that
the clubs guarantee that the money
would be forthcoming was sufficient. clos
ing with the statement that boxers would
not be allowed to dictate how matters
should be run. The seconds of the men
had their innings and after lot of good
natured badnage from the spectators
the men stripped for the fray. 1t was
found the referee had the money all the
time.
The bout went the limit, eight rounds,
and was awarded to Vickers. Throughout
the entire time and some of the rounds
lasted seven minutes, he kept jabbing
Hoskins in the face until 1t glowed IKE
a summer sunset. Early in the bout it
seemed Hoskins could not last, but he
kept gamely at his task.
The best bout of the evening was be-
tween kid Hogan and Neil Callahan.
The former won suddenly in the third
round. He had his opponent tired and
just as they clinched he landed hard
right over Callahan's heart. The latter
hung Imply for moment and then slid
to the floor, where he was counted out.
Both proved good boxers, hitting cleanly.
The three rounds between Kennedy and
his mentor, Kelly, were fast. Kennedy
ing with Rubin, but proved remarkably
fast with both hands and feet. The In
imitable Kelly thought the first round TOO
long and called time" on it himself.

LARGEST FINE EVER IMPOSED.
Market Men Pay Dearly for Selling
Game Out of Season.

The market men who violate the law
by selling game out of season received
a great setback yesterday at the hands
of Police Judge Treadwell A week or
so ago Henry Mitchell, head salesman
for O'Brien & Spotorno in the California
Market, was arrested by Deputy Z. a.
Vogelsang for having lot OF mallaros'
teals and other ducks in his possession
out of season.
Many of the ducks were so young that
even the pin feathers had not disappeared.
1t is doubtful if ever a case OF VlolatiilS
game laws has been before a Poilce JUG;
where there was so much influence
brought to bear as in this. neE lHe
man was convicted every concelVaple Ell
fort was made to have the Judge impose
the smallest fine, which is $ZO.
When the Judge pronounced senteHtc,S5 e
he stated that the pull and the push
had done everything possible to get tne
fellow let off lightly, and even one OF iWils W
brother Judges had come down from me
Treadwen said that if the market hunt-
ers are encouraged to violate the law by
the market men it will be only 4 snort
time before all of cur native ducks ana
other game will be eXterminated Inc
only way to put a stop to this unlaWIul
business is to make the viOlators OF the
law feel the full force of the same. mere
fore he would impose fine OF $l2J upon
Mitchell. Judge Treadwell said that ne
would deal out the full measure OF the
law in all such cases. Mitchell's fine was
the heaviest ever imposed here for such
an offenSe.

contract he began to look for a title. AS
it was not forthcoming with the desired
speed. he brought suit before Justice of
paid the company. Judge Dunn gave
judgment for the plaintiff on the ground
that the company had not used due dill
ernnent. and thus the purchaser had been
left without protection. The matter was
appealed to the Superior Court and yes
terday Judge Seawell affirmed the deci-
sion. 1t is said that the company has sold
land amounting to a big figure on the
same lines, and the decision will force it
