Special Dispatch to Tn. CAN

SACRAMENTO, March S.-If the As
sembly is going to send the anti-prize-
fight bill to the Governor it will have
to, hurry. Amerige called up the Rails
ton Senate bill, Identical with his own,
for passage in the lower house this
afternoon, but instead of being put to
a vote 1t was amended and put over
until tomorrow
There is something peculiar about the
status of the bill. 1t was introduced
in both houses early in the session and
though 1t could have been brought to a
vote long before it was in both houses
1t was passed by the Senate only a rev
days ago and has been called UP for
final passage in the Assembly only
two days before the time of adjourn
ment. This is not all, though. The
failure to call the bill up earlier could
easily be placed on the ground of legis-
lative expediency, but there is some
thing else that cannot be so easily ex-
planned. Though the bill has been be-
fore the legislators of both houses for
nearly two months, a glaring error
that would make 1t unconstitutional,
had it been passed as introduced, was
only made known to-day.
When the bill was called for passage
Cleveland offered an amendment, cut
ting out that portion which permitted
four-round amateur contests. Amerige
at once objected, saying this was an
unfair scheme to kill the bill. Cleve-
land replied that If the Legislature in
tended to legislate against prizefighting
at all 1t should not do things by halves.
The amendment was lost.
Espey of Alameda then offered the
amendment that makes the measure
constitutional. AS the bill stood the
first paragraph after the enacting
clause started with Section 412." Es-
pey's amendment changed this to legal
phraseology by starting it Section 1.
Section Alp of the Penal Code of the
State Of California is hereby amended
to read as follows"
Amerige at once accepted the amend
ment, the opponents of the bill gladly
voting for 1t. as when amended the bill
would necessarily have to be sent to
the printer for correction and then to
the Senate, which would have to con-
cur in the amendment. Amerige had no
course but to accept the delay, as the
bill would be worthless without the
amendment

Exciting Tennis Match.

The final match of the mixed

courts. 1t resulted in victory for

ponents were Mrs. c.. Watson and r.
Strachan, who received a handicap of

Although the match was won in
straight sets, it was by no means one
sided. Miss Crocker and Mclaughlin
won the first set easily, the score be-
ing 6-1. Mrs. Watson and Strachan
took the first five games in the second
set and it seemed they would surely
win 1t. At this point Miss Crocker
and Mclaughlin braced up and won
five straight games, making the score
5-5. They also won three out of the
next four games, giving them the set
by an So score.
The tournament was held jointly by

REGATTA COURSE
IS IN DISPUTE
Oarsmen of Rival Univer-
sites Unable to Agree
OH Stretch of Water

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. March
8.-A controversy that may end in the
canceling of the date for the intercol-
legiate regatta with the University OF
California is going on between the
boat clubs of the two colleges. The
difficulty is over the selection of suit
able course on which TO hold the races.
The authorities of both universities
have decided on the course they want.
but neither will agree to the selection
of the other.
The California oarsmen want to use
the Oakland estuary, but the men of
the cardinal refuse to row there. Stan
ford objects to this course because the
water is rough at times. The Univer-
sity of California crew are doing all of
their practice there. which would give
them an advantage, as they would be
accustomed to the winds and currents.
The location the Stanford Boat Club
contends for is at Stockton. where there
is three-mile straightaway The
course in on a slough about a hundred
yards wide, and the water is always
still. Besides the fine facilities for row.
ing, this course has many advantages
for the spectators. In addition to a
road along the entire distance of the
course the Chamber of Commerce of
Stockton has offered to build large
grand stand at the finish. If the re-
gatta is held at Stockton the boat club
there will give a cup to the winner of
the race and the Chamber of Com
merce will divide the receipts between
the two universities.
In addition to the races with the Uni
versity of California the club here is
also planning contests to be held with
clubs of Southern California and a re-
gatta with the University OF Washing
