Lightweight Boxers Begin Train
ing for Their Coming
Contest.
FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
General Opinion is That the Match is
Az Even One as Regards Strength
And Punch.

II is the concensus Of opinion among
local fight fans that the match made
between Tommy Markham the local
lightweight and Jack Clifford, is a
good one, from n pugIlistic standpoint,
The boys are about the same height
and build, and neither has any particu-
lar advantage in reach. Both take
good care Of themselves and, Weighing
in at 1876 pounds at o'clock on the
evening OF the contest, neither will
have an advantage In that particular
Clifford was anxious to meet Otto
Sieloff at 1873 pounds, but the latter
was IN hurry to get back to Chica-
go, But when the prospects Of a con.
test with Markham was presented to
him. Clifford jumped at II, Unless he
has grown a great deal since he fought
Perry Queenan at ogden, he will have
no trouble whatever In making the re-
quired weight. Markham can easily
make 1873 pounds and be at his best.

"youNG CoRBETT" POPULAR.
Regarded on Coast as Small Edition
Big Jim Jeffries.

The young Corbett" champion
featherweight Of the world Is becoming
decidedly popular in California there
can be no doubt, The Los Angeles
Times has the following to say about
him:
Probably rever before has the prize
ring possessed such an Ideal feather
weight champion as Young Corbett'
Champions Of the past have more or
less lacked some one or more essential
qualification that would have served
them better but Corbett seems to have
embodied In his makeup every neces-
sary adjunct.
George Dixon, at one time premier
OF the featherweIght division, was a
clever boxer, and could land terrific
blow, but the little colored demon never
possessed particularly strong ply
siuue lie mas ny no means a strong,
rugged boxer, and when young Terry
McGovern came along the Brooklyn
boy had no trouble I'm beating the
champion by rain or body blows,
Dixon was no match for the little
fighter. who was just then coming TO
the front with rapid strides.
McGovern held the stage and, for n
time, looked invinelblei until Young
C0rhett appeared on the scene. While
n great fighter, II wastn well known
fact among McGoverns friends that
he possessed one weak point. That was
bad Judgment. They realized that he
was an easy man 10 get ratified. But
even his anxiety to finish his men of
and the great chances that he was In
clined to take, McGovern went down
the line defeating all Corners, He could
slug with any OF them, ana the result
was always the sane. McGoyerns
blows would conquer.
When Corbett came ready to battle
for the championship McG0ven WINS
warned against the western lad, who
had the reputation OF being a cold
proposition. McGoyern was prepared
for the occasion, but he found an OPP
ponent who could slug ns we'll rs he
could and for the first time In his ca
reer he was forced to take the count.
IL was a sad blow to the little Brook
Ignite but with his conquerOr came
one OF the greatest little fighters In
history. Corbett Is without doubt
the coolest proposition that ever en-
tered the ring.

CHEERSFOR HINDO0
Bahia Bharati, Of India, a ReVela-
ton to Peace Congress.
HIS PEOPLE RESIST CHRISTIANITY
Passionate Appeal Against Effort OF
Missionaries to Thrust New Re-
Iigion Upon Natives-A Move
to Settle Jap War.

Boston, Oct. 6.-Resolutions intended
to bring about possible an end to the
Russo Japanese war were adopted at
the meeting of the International Peace
congress. BY the terms of these reso-
lutions the congress will address an
appeal to the emperors Of Russia and
Japan to terminate the struggle and
each of the powers signatory to The
i Hague convention will be formally re-
uuested to press upon Russia and
Japan the importance of putting an
end to the present war.
1t was also voted that the resolu-
lions referring to friendly intervention
by the powers be presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by committee OF the
congress.
The resolutions were passed after a
lengthy discussion in which many OF
the most prominent foreign delegates
participated Delegate William X.
Clemer, of England, took occasion
while favoring the declarations to
characterize the treaty between En-
gland and Japan as a blunder and to
charge that this treaty doubtless had
much to do in bringing on the Russo
Japanese war. Thereupon Great Brit
AIMS policy of being a party to the
treaty was vigorously defended by Col.
Bryce Jones, M. P.
The deliberate proceedings or the
day took on an added interest in the
fact that a leading Hindoo, Baba
Bharati, was introduced to speak as the
representative of his country. The
most intense applause that has been
evoked thus far during the convention
greeted the Hindoo who, dressed in
the costume of his people, delivered
passionate speech in excellent Eng
lish denouncing on the one hand the
attempt of Christianity to thrust Chris
tianity upon India as its religion and
the policy of the English people OF In
dia Of invading Tibet.
Every labor union in the city was

mass meeting held in connection with

keynote of the gathering was that as
war affected the working class Of the

FUNNY MR.. sAPP.
Democratic Chairman Sends Letters
10 Methodist Preachers.

w WBbhV1Abv = AVeSASAs
One Of the funniest documents ever
sent out BY campaign manager is a
letter sent by Chairman SaPp OF the
Democratic state committee TO Rev.
r. v. Msloney, pastor Of the Metho-
dist church Of this city. threads thus;
"My dear sir: l have sent you,
under another cover, a pamphlet en-
titled. AN earnest appeal for the
substitution OF Christian for Pagan
methods in all moral reform work. ;
edited by Albert Griffin. You are un-
doubtedly aware that the Democratic
party is a great political organization,
closely identified with the welfare OF
our country. 70 say that the Demo-
cratic party is bad, or that its teach
ing is immoral, is unkind and unjust.
The Democratic leaders in this state
have always insisted that moral SUD
sion will accomplish more to stop
intemperance than legal prohibition.
To that end | send you this document,
calling your attention and asking
your careful perusal Of it,"
He then goes on to say that the Re-
publicans have embezzled the school
fund though an expert accountant
found every cent in the treasury only
last week and adds:
81 ask you, as leader of that great
moral force that goes to make our
state great, and her citizens better,
grander and truer, to investigate
these charges, and, If true, act as
every good man ought to act. II
what I say is true, l believe it is
your duty, as an honorable Citizen to
come to the rescue OF the right, not
only with your vote on election day.
but with your voice and your pen'
until corruption, fraud and disgrace
shall be ended. Not long ago the cry
went forth, Stand up for Kansas.
I agree to that, but desire to add,
Stand up for the school fund. >"
Funny MIR. sapp! He apparently
don't know how funny he is, but If hi
could see the Methodist ministers
laugh at his letter he would realize
some Of the humor Of the situation.
