Sensation in the State Capital -

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC
RAMENTO. Jan. 13.-The po-
~ litical sensa1 1ion of the season
developed tonight. 1t consists
w. in the astounding fact that a
small local fight for the Stock
ton postmastership practically decided the
election OF George c. Perkins as United
States Senator, insures the appointment
OF Congressman Woods of San Joaquin
county as United States Naval Officer at
the port Of San Francisco and also the
appointment Of J. La Rose Phelps. editor
OF the Stockton Independent, as chief
deputy naval officer in place of E.. W.
Masiin, the present deputy for Colonel
John p. Irish
Large political oaks from small political
acorns grow and the. evolution of the
small acorn into the large political oak
is the talk of the town tonight. The
news clears away great fog bank of
mystery that overhung the political at
titude OF Assemblyman Duniap Of San
Joaquin and the manner of the removal
OF the last shred of the opposition of
Colonel Dan Burns and Martin Kelly to
the reelection of Senator Perkins
It viii be remembered that Assembly
man Dunlap refused to sign the call for
the Republican caucus, while, at the same
time, he admitted that his preference was
for Senator Perkins. II will be remem-
bered also that there was much hurrying
and scurrying over the reason for Mr..
Dunlap's disinclination 90 expedite mat
ters for the Perkins adherents. Back of
this lies the history that has just come
to light and has set the politicians agog
in the capital city. 1t is the, history of
little fight for the postmastership of the
city of Stockton.

ALL HEADQUARTERS SAC
- RAMENTO, Jan. 13.-Califor-
MA has hidden George C. Per-
"a kins to keep his old seat warm
in the United States Senate
for another six years. Both
houses of the Legislature got down to
business at noon to-day and by strictly
party vote presented the Senator with
handsome majority, all bound round with
a wooden string and neatly labeled before
hand. There were thirty-three Republi-
cans in the Senate and fifty-eight in the
Assembly and every last one of them
spoke for Perkins when the roll was
called. Only one was absent, and re
couldn't get there, but he. too shouted
for Perkins over the wire.
The presentation was preceded by the
usual speechmaking and conventional oh
servance of constitutional forms. but
there was conspicuous absence of fire
works to the oratory and a general lack
of enthusiasm all around In other words
the speeches were prosy and fiorid. as
most speeches are when written in adj
vance and read at long range or delivered
from memory, while everybody knew how
it was all going to end anyway, and there
is never any excitement about a sure
thing. Even the Democrats and Labor
men had counted noses many days before
and knew just what they were going to
do. 1t was an unblemished programme
and most loyalty presented. So much for
the caucus as a time-saving, slumber
producing device in the machinery of
government.

BILLY FARREN WILL
RESUME WORK TODAY
Both He and Miller Putting Themselves on Edge
for To-morroW'S Bout

AS it is now, the rest has done him
a lot of good and has put some weight
on him.
Miller rested Sunday morning, but
in the afternoon the pleasure seekers
on their way to the Casino about 3
o'clock saw a dusty figure tearing
along the ThunderbOlt road at fast
clip with another man on a bicycle
pacing him on his weary way.
This was Miller doing part of his
daily grind, and one had but to look
at the expression on his face to realize
that being a boxer has more hardships
than comforts, for q man has to train
to do justice to himself as well as the
public, and training is a series of hard
working days and then on the night
of the contest a struggle with a man
who is in as good shape as himself,
who is trying every way he knows to
punch him so hard that he will loose
his steam, and, if possible, lay him
on the floor unable to respond to the
call of time, and when he does come
too he sees the friends of yesterday
crowding around the other fellow and
realizes that he is a defeated man, and
all he has left to console him is the
small end of the purse.

PugiIists Who Are HAS Beens" Be-

I'm former years a pugilist was not
considered in his prime until after he
had passed 30" said a veteran follower
of the prize ring recently. Nowadays,
however, it is different. A fighter who
is still at the top of the class after his
twenty-eighth year is considered a
wonder. OF course, there are excep-
tions, as in the case of Bob Fftzsim-
mons. He is certainly a well preserved
man, and it will be many moons before
we find another like him. Fitz is near
ly AZ, but he can fight as we'll as he
did ten years ago. Then. there are

Walcott Choynski was never a cham
pion, but he is great pugilist for all
that.
Take the old-timers, such as Barney
Aaron, Jem Mace, Dooney Harris and
others. They did their best fighting
after they were thirty. Then there were
Joe Goddard, Frank Slavin, the late
Peter Jackson, Billy Edwards and Pete
Mccoy. John L. Sullivan was all in,
so to speak, before he was thirty-four.
Kid Mccoy is under 30, and has been
forced to retire, because, according to
his own admission, he cannot fight any
more. George Dixon lost the feather
weight title to Terry McGovern when
he was in his thirtieth year. Meow

Billy Farren will start to work again
to-day after a rest of twenty-four
hours. and he will look to-day fit to
fight for his life. This climate has a
peculiar effect on the Northern box
ers until they get acclimated. The
usual amount of work that they have
been used to doing in the North Will
not do here. They start the work
here and they loose weight so fast
that before they know it they are
pounds below the weight they have
been boxing at in the North.
Farren, who is a faithful worker,
had been hitting up the road at live
ly clip for the last ten days and had
just about overworked himself when
he found out that he was stating, or,
in other words, he had reduced his
weight so much that he had nothing
to work on and if it had not been Tor

doctor he would have been stale Wheh

endeavor of the management to secure
only the best men.
Herman Miller and Billy Farren have
both agreed to meet all corners during

amusement to any aspiring boys pc

Miller and Farren both realize that

oout will be up to the standard of any

kid Lavigne, one of the best light
weights the arena has produced in the
last decade, was all in before he was
20. Frank Erne, who succeeded him at
the top of this class, went down be-
fore Joe Cans, the present lightweight
champion, in his twenty-seventh year,
and now he has retired. Jim Corbett
was knocked out by Bob Fitzsimmons
and lost the heavyweight championship
when he was 81. Tom Sharkey, al
though only in his thirtieth year, has
been out of it ever since his last
fight with Jim Jeffries in 1899. Sharkey
always paid the strictest attention to
his health, too. Starlight, the veteran
Australian middleweight who has been
the trial horse for a number of the
foremost Australian heavyweights, past
and present is still fighting. Star
light is nearly 80, but the youngsters
have all they can do to beat him in
decisive fashion.
Harry Forbes, who is only a young
ster, having been born in 1879, lost the
bantam title to frankie Neil a few
months ago. Forbes has been fighting
ever since 1897. Jack McAuliffe was not
more than 81 when he retired. Gus
Rubin, who was born in 1872, is still in
the ring, but he has never shown much
form since he was put to sleep by Bob
Fitzsimmons three years ago. Peter
Maher has been out of it for years,

tses to Be a COrker.
The management of the Savannah
Athletic Club is arranging for a series
of contests to be pulled off here the
week of the fair that will eclipse any
thing of the kind ever held in Savan-
nah. 1t is the intention of the man
agenent now to have a contest every
night, if enough boxers can be secured
to make matches.
Some of the best men in the pro-
fession have written here agreeing to
come during this period, and such men
as Hugo Kelly, Otto Sieloff, Twin Sui
livan Harry Forbes, Tommy Feltz,
Chicago Jack Daily, Jack Ryan, Joe
Bernstein, Charley Mulhall, Mike
Schreck and frankie Neil.
In addition to these men a large
number of others have applied for
matches here. but the best men will
be given preference in any of the
matches that will be made.
1t is the present intention of the
club to start with the light fighters
and go up to the heavyweights. A
letter has been received from Con
Coughlan, who fought Fitzsimmons
several weeks ago, asking for match,
and if a good man can be secured the
big Con will be given show before
the club here. His showing with Fitz
was a poor one. but he is credited with
being a really clever boxer with a man
in his class.
one of the star attractions will be
a match between Neil and Forbes.
Both of these men have written that
they will come here, and according to
their letters dates can be arranged so
that they can be matched here during
the fair.
The increased patronage on the bouts
that have been pulled off here within
the past few months warrants the club
in making guarantees to good men to
