TRIES TO STOP
PRIZE FIGHTING
Mayor Olney Announces That
He Will Not Vote to Grant
Any More Contest Permits
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
Ills Broadway. Dec. %.
"I shall not vote to grant any more
permits to conduct boxing contests"
said Mayor Warren Olney to-day.
There are entirely too many of these
affairs going on in Oakland. One
week or thereabouts is simply creating
a Mecca for the bruisers in this city,
and that is a very undesirable situa-
ton"
The Mayor thus expressed himself
concerning the strongly current rumors
at the City Hall that soon after the
holidays the boxing contest ordinance
will be repealed. While Mayor OIney
says he has received no intimation as
to the City Councils possible attitude
toward the recently enacted law, there
is no doubt that pressure is being
brought to bear at the City Hall to IN
duce early repeal of the law.
Whence the influence is being exerted
has not definitely appeared. w. B.
Fawcett, the Mayors secretary, said
this afternoon:
1T looks very much as if the boxing
ordinance will be repealed and, in fact,
l expect to see the Council take that
action after the holidays. 1t does not
appear where the attack on the ordi-
nance is coming from, but there is an
opposition being manifested"
Behind the stir that has been made is
story that the city officials would
have been content to allow the two
Oakland clubs, the Reliance and the
West Oakland organizations, to con-
tinue their monthly exhibitions without
disturbance. The Reliance Club con-
fined itself to a main event of fifteen
rounds by professionals and a couple
of four or six round curtain raisers
At the West Oakland Club the pro-
grammes have included four, five or six
four-round contests between amateurs.
Each club has a large following and
almost without exception the monthly
affairs have been more than satfsfac-
tory to those who enjoyed this form of
sport.
But into the fighting game came the
Sequoia Club an organization which
has had much difficulty in esta bIisbfng
it's status as genuine domestic. fncor-
porated athletic club, as contemplated
under the ordinance. The Sequofa Club
first appeared last March before the
contests were stopped and gave an al
legged fight at Dietz's Opera-house that
did not prove to be satisfactory. After
the ordinance was signed, the club was
granted a permit in October, but one
of the principals failed to show and
again the club was in bad odor. Then
''Biddy' Bishop, an itinerant manager
of pugilists. Showed as matchmaker for
the club and he handled the Woods
Reilly fight last week.
1t is the Sequoia Club that is the
disturbing element. There is a grave
doubt in the minds of some city Of
ficials that the organization meets the
requirements of the ordinance It has
a very limited amount of apparatus and
practically no gymnasium, using old
Dietz's Hall as its club rooms.
The police have kept watch on the
hall to discover whether it was in ac-
tuaI service as a club room. and reports

horse could not run over the track in
its condition yesterday he looks a poor
betting proposition in future.
All cheap selling races should be
claiming races, and the jockey club
makes a mistake in not conditioning
them so. The exception should be only
in high class selling affairs.

Before the last permit was granted to
the Seduoia Club it's representatives

that Bishop was acting as the clubs

Mayor Olneys opposition to the con-
tfnuance of the contests is based en-
tirely on his unwillingness to allow such
frequent affairs as the three clubs can
give. He considers that the West Oak
land Club. beyond question a legitimate
athletic organization. and the Reliance
Athletic Club were sufficient. But he
has not been able to make up his mind
TO discriminate against any applicant
and therefore his Honor has taken the
fiat stand against the continuance O.

MEN
IN CONDITION
Both the Redskins and the Re-
lance AlI-California Team
VIII Play a Great Game

The strenuous redskins of the Carlisle
eleven and the Californian gridiron
veterans who are to meet them in the
big game Christmas day were all out
for a good, hard practice yester-
day afternoon on the Richmond
field. Both teams caught punts
and ran through their signals for
about two hours. When it was all
over and the athletes were trotting
back to their dressing rooms the spec
tators did not dare to pick a winner.
The Indians put in appearance about
o'clock and went to work imme-
diateIy. Coach Warner let his men
warm up by catching punts and falling
on the ball. Then they got into forma-
ton and went through the signals for
routine play. Every man on the eleven
handles the ball in splendid shape and
if the field is dry Christmas day the
Reliance team cannot expect to gain
any ground as result of fumblipg by
it's opponents.
Despite their long trip across the con-
tinent the aborigines are in the best
cats. There is no wait between plays,
for as soon as the ball is down the line
is ready for another rush. The quarter
gives his signals and puts the ball in
play in an amazingly short space of
time The ends go down the field on
punts like a pair of comets. No one
has to hunt up the center to give him
the ball The backs start like ten-sec-
ond men.
1t has been many a moon since the
California palefaces have seen such
team play. For straightaway machine
football the copper -hued boys of Car
Isle are about as near perfect as they
make them. Coach Warner says this
team is superior to the one he brought
to the coast four years ago.
ESKIMO EXCITES CURIOSITY.
Nikofer Shouchuk, Carlisle's Eskimo
center, was of particular interest to the
spectators yesterday-mostly because
he is the only member of his race on a
football team. He laughs all the time,
as if the whole world were one big
joke He is a solid little fellow, how
ever, and plays the game as If he had
inherited a talent for it. Hauvermann
may expect some trouble from him Fri
day afternoon.
Charles Dillon, left guard, was also
closely inspected by those who watched
the practice. He is the tricky lad who
hid the pigskin under his sweater in
! the game with Harvard and ambled
! 100 yards down the field for a touch
! down. 1t was related yesterday that
the eleven with the crimson hosiery
was asking for a microscope to find
the ball while Dillon was accommodating
/ that five points.
Carlisle has had successful season.
! She suffered defeat at the hands of
| Princeton and OF Harvard, and was
tied by Virginia. She won from Buck
! nell, University of Pennsylvania,
| Georgetown, Swarthmore, Northwest
ern, Gettysburg, Lebanon Valley, Dick
enson, Susquehanna, Franklin and
Marshall and Salt Lake. The players
all agree they will appear at their best
next Friday The Indians outfit con-
sists of coach, trainer and seventeen
men.
To-day the eleven will be taken to
Golden Gate Park and the beach for a
few hours OF rest and recreation. War
ner says he will not have the men go
through their signals before the game.

 That'll do now, Babe," said the anil male trainer, extricating himself from the serpentine embrace of great black trunk.
 She's very playful, Babe is," he add. ed, somewhat breathlessly, which was natural, for Babe and her mate had been playing ball with him, throwing him from one to the other and catching beautifully in a manner calculated to inspire a baseball rooter. She's a good deal friskier than Basil. You see. she's only half as old as Basil, who is sixty this year." .s
 Babe was stamping her foot, just like an infant, and demanding more play. Frank Healey, the trainer, patted her on the trunk and said: q guess she wont be contented now till Evan comes around. He's my son, you know, and ne can do more with these two fellows than can."
 . So he sailed forth to find Evan. and his visitors went with him, expecting to see big husky animal trainer like his father. But all they saw was a yellow mead tull Of curls peering shyly from behind tree and vanishing as soon as the strangers approached.
