from q short visit to Florida. While
hunting deer in the Land Of Flowers

With his gun loaded with buckshot he
quickly dislocated the raised head Of
the angry reptile and when his nerves
settled efficiently he approached the
hesdless trunk and found that it meas

point and was seven and one-half FEEL
long with several inches of head biowr
away, for which he ives thankful.

Athletic Management Will Have Team

Afternoon-says Defeated St.
Vincents on FIuke

The following statement has been
issued by the athletic management of
Occidental college in regard to the
stand taken by u S. c. in maintaining
that today's scheduled intercollegiate
baseball game between U. S. C. and Oc-
cidental has been officially forfeited
To-day winds up the intercollegiate
baseball season. The last game to be
played is scheduled for this afternoon
between Occidental and U. S. C. In
case the latter should win, a third game
would have to be pulled off, but this is
not at all likely from passed dress
ing downs" they have been receiving
from both Occidental and ST. Vincent's,
and it is safe to say the same result
would be repeated.
1T is rumored that on account of a
misunderstanding, caused by the chair
man of the Occidental athletic COM
mittee attempting to call the game off.
that U. S. C. does not intend to show
up on the Occidental campus at 8
O'Clock this afternoon, claiming the
game on a forfeit
But the Occidental team will be
ready for their visitors at the stated
time, as the college authorities fail to
see how a game can be forfeited a week
or more before the scheduled time.
Occidental team will disband after
today having played a very successful
season, losing the championship to st.
Vincent by one game.
occidental and st. Vincent are the
only two schools in the college league
of Southern California who have any
claim to the championship, as u. S. C.
and Pomona had no baseball dealings
with each other.
coach Holmes and his aggregation of
ball tossers having met Haggartys

able to win one lone game out of the
whole intercollegiate season, and now
for the past week ON the strength of
that one game and one they claim on
a forfeit, which we fail to see can be
claimed until it is played and won by
them, they have been claiming second

Decision Is Popular

The decision was ~ popular one
with the crowd as Hanlon in the last
few rounds clearly outfought his man.
Corbett can have no excuse to offer
on the grounds of condition. He was
in excellent shape and fought as hard
and viciously as he ever did. His fa-
vorite blow was a right uppercut, and
occasionally a straight left to the face.
Hanlon paid most of his attention to
Corbett's stomach and battered away
at his opponents middle all during the
fight. Occasionally he would swing
rights and lefts to the jaw, but they
did not seem to jar Corbett and he al
ways came back for more. The blows
TO the stomach were what won the
fight for Hanlon. Hanlon has modified
his style of fighting considerably since
his last appearance here. His old pc
culiar crouch was abandoned and he
stood UP straight and fought in better
style than heretofore.
Apparently he does not possess a
Knockout punch. The winner is
matched to fight Jimmy Britt in July
next.
When Referee Ioman designated
Hanlon as the winner, Corbett al
though he did not have strength
enough to hit during the last two
rounds, managed to summon up energy
to smash the referee ii the jaw. One
of Hanlon's seconds thereupon rushed
into the ring and took a swing at Cor
bett He landed, but not hard enough
to put the defeated fighter out. The
referee was not hurt, and before any
more damage could be done the police
Jumped into the ring and hustled the
belligerents off the platform.

DENVER BOYS PLUcKY FIGHT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press,
wOODWARD's PAVILION, SAN
FRANCISCO, June Eddie Hanlon
fought Young Corbett to a standstill
during the last few rounds of a twenty
round contest tonight and was.awarded
a hard earned decision by Referee
Homan. The fight was an exciting
one from start to finish, and several
times the tide of battle was in favor
OF one or the other. During the first
part Of the contest Corbett had a slight
advantage but no harm was done to
either man until the eleventh round.
Then Hanon rushed Corbett to the
ropes, but the Denver boy stalled him
off and blocked a number of stomach
punches. Corbett got to the center Of
the ring and in a miX-up landed left
and right swings on Hanlon's jaw.
The San Francisco boy went to his
knees and took the count of nine. He
came up fighting and in spite of Cor
Belts strenuous efforts to put him out
he finished the round strong. For the
next four rounds Corbett went at his
man and in the thirteenth round had
Hanlon very tired, but he could not
land knockout blow. Hanlon braced
UP in the fourteenth and seemed to
have a small margin over Corbett. The
fifteenth round was about even. Han
Ion landed a left and right to the jaw,
but they did no harm. The sixteenth
&c hI,. 10 orit 10
landed a series of right uppercuts to
the face and Hanlon was very tired.
The seventeenth was Hanlon's round.
He uppercut Corbett to the face and
stomach Corbett was apparently tired
and unable to hit back. The eigh-
teenth was about even, although Cor
bett had shade the better of it at the
end. The nineteenth and twentieth
were all Hanlon's. All during the
nineteenth he stod up close to Corbett
pounding away at the Denver boys
stomach. Corbett was tired, but could
not hit back. He made several wild
swings, but missed his man and did
no harm. The round closed with the
crowd yelling for Hanlon.
In the twentieth Hanlon came up
strong and went right at his man.
They stood breast to breast, each with
his head on the others shoulder and
slugged for all that was in them. Han
Ion was the stronger and forced Cor
bett about the ring, playing a lively
tattoo on his stomach. He got Cor
bett against the ropes and had him at
his mercy. Carbett came very nearly
going off the platform, but managed
to stagger back to the center of the
ring but that only gave Hanlon a bet
ter chance at him. The round closed
with both men on their feet and with
