Opposed to Professional
Boxing Contests in Clubs

oakland Orflce San francisco Call,
Ills Broadway, Dec. Is.
The fighting game is in serious dan
ger in Oakland. Mayor Olney has de-
clared his unalterable opposition to the
monthly professional boxing contests
now being held in this city. and strong
ly expressed himself to-day at the
meeting of the Board of Police and
Fire Commissioners.
That body under authority Of an or
dinance is given power to grant or to
deny applications from clubs for per-
mits TO give these contests. Mayor Oh
ney declared lie approved the ordinance
because he believed it gave discretion
to the Board of Police and Fire Com
missioners to act in the matter OF ap-
plications. But in operation the Mayor
says he has found that it is a case of
grant one and grant all requests for
permits.
1t has been strongly rumored in club
circles that an attempt would be made
after the first of January to repeal the
boxing ordinance. Evidence of the in
secure position that some Of the club
men felt themselves in was manifested
at to-day's meeting of the Police
Board. when the Reliance Club filed
petition for permit 10 give two boxing
exhibitions in January, one on the 5th
and the other on the 10Th. Heretofore
each club has confined itself to one con-
test night month
1t was this petition that provoked
the remarks of the Mayor. who said:
L am opposed to these sO-called pro-
fessional boxing contests. 1 never saw
one and 1 never shall voluntarily wit
ness one. 1t was my belief that this
ordinance gave the board discretion in
granting permits. But it looks as if
one must either grant all applications
or deny ALL.
Repeal of the ordinance, which rests
with the City Council, would bar the
sport in this city, leaving conditions as
they existed last March, when District
Attorney Allen decided that the clubs
contests were illegal.
President McElrOy of the board ex-
planned that the ordinance was passed
in conformity with an act Of the last
Legislature which gave municipalities
the right to allow boxing contests to be
held under police regulation.
The Mayor was excused from voting
when Commissioner Turner moved to
grant the Reliance Clubs application.

Eddie HanlOn believes in variety in

The little boxer does not spar with
Harry Foley. having found that it i'm

His work with Foley is chiefly
wrestling and bustling him about the

rounds with Joe Thomas yesterday. al

Hanlon denies having discussed the

SULLIVAN MAKES
BIG KING QUIT
AFTER A ROUND
Water Front Terror Refuses
TO Continue When Opponent
Lands a Few Hard Punches
TRIES WRESTLING GAME
Jack Burke Is Knocked Out i'll
a Punch by George Her
bert, Who May Be a Ringer

Alex Greggains had another little
burlesque on the boards last night at
his Sixth-street gymnasium. The real
thing Of the night was another bout
between Olin Sullivan and John King,
ths heavy weights. It might have
turned out to be a good scrap had King
come UP for a little more action in
stead of keeping his seat and taking off
his mitts when the gong sounded for
the second round.
King is famous in sailors boarding
house circles as a bouncer who has
them all BANKED. but the referee re
fused TO allow the rough tactics last
night, and so King ran second. He
opened up the go by grabbing Sullivan
and treating him catch as catch can
style. When they got up again Sulli-
van walloped King some and ere he
finished the waterfront terror was all
in
Sullivan used both hands and landed
some stiff punches. He closed one of
Kings lamps and had the latter all but
gone when the gong sounded. King
went TO his corner, called for something
out OF a bottle and prepared to go some
more. But the chair felt good and Sui
livan looked like bad man, so the
pOrtly man decided TO betake himself
TO his dressing-room. while the crowd
hissed and said unpleasant things.
The other bouts on the card were all
fast ones. and none Of them went over
four rounds. Harry Tenny took all the
fight out Of Harry McCloud in two
rounds. George Herbert, who looked
like ringer. hit Jack Burke one hard
wallop in the jaw during the initial
round Of their engagement and Burke
was out for ten minutes
Jim Wilson was no match for Pier
pOnt Ordway and, after the former
landed few good punches in the first
round. the bout was stopped. Billy
Jensen put Jack Adams to the mat for
the count after n few seconds of going.
Billy Healy finished George Sullivan in
the second round. and Charles Weber
knocked Ed Smith out in one round.
