dition and in giving him speed. He
says he is ready to battle for his life.
Danaher-M ansfleId


Eddie Danaher and Young Mansfield
will furnish lively bout at welter-
weights. This event will be limited to
six rounds, but Danaher says it will not
go to the limit.
Eddie is ready for the fray, but his
friends are uneasy about the injury to
his hand which he sustained several
days ago while training with Jimmy
Tremble. Whether this injury will
affect his fighting is not known. He
says not, but a scrapper with useless
hand is taking on a fair-sized handicap
before getting into the ring.
Mansfield has been working in pri-
vate and is said to be fit and ready. He
is as confident as his opponent, and
neither is willing to split the purse, so
they will battle for 'whole hog or
none"
The ticket sale for tonight's battles
has been remarkable. Following the
record breaking Saturday sale, when
1900 tickets were handed out, the de-
mand has been steady and the pile has
been melting with undiminished rapid
ity. Manager McCarey is expecting to
hang out the S. r. o. sign by noon
today.

M'CAREY SEEKS TO MATCH
TWIN SULLIVAN AND CANS
CLEVER LIGHTWEIGHTS MAY
FIGHT HERE
Battle for Championship May Be Held
Before Pacific Athletic Club Early
in December--LocaI Manager Will
ing to Make Good Offer for Event

Manager McCarey is seeking to bring
Mike "Twin" Sullivan and Joe Cans
the dusky lightweight champion of
America, together for a fight to occur
here early in December
Mike Twin Is willing to go on with
Cans, and with the financial difficulties
of Cans an admitted fact 1t is believed
that the match can be made.
Twin is not in a position to talk at
present, as he is depending upon his
coast manager, Morris Levy, to get him
on with Jimmy Gardner next month,
and he said last night that he was ex-
pecting to hear from Levy any minute
that the articles had been signed.
Gardner's statement that he would
meet Sullivan next month is satisfac-
tory to the little scrapper. and unless
Gardner shows another side-steppng
feat it is believed the articles will be
signed before the end of the week.
With Gardner signed up or forced out
of consideration, Twin will talk busi-
ness to McCarey regarding the Cans
proposition and will no doubt be
matched. McCarey is willing to hang
up a good purse for the fight, and ex-
presses confidence in ultimately bring
ing them together. Such an attraction
would be welcomed by not only the local
contingent but by the sporting frater-
nifty at large.
In their recent meeting, Mike secured
a draw decision. although all who wit
messed the fight say that Mike should
have had the decision. as he put it all
over Cans from first to last.
Twin will remain on the coast until
spring and has three fights now in
prospect He Is hot on Jimmy Gard
ner's trail and will eventually force him
to fight or quit talking about it. Cans
will also be offered an opportunity of
defending his title, and Willie Fitz-
geralds $4,000 offer will be given due
consideration in It's turn.

Popular With Fans


There are no more popular pugilists
before the public today than these re-
markable twins and despite the admira-
tion given to other fighters, there Is
scarcely fight fan in the country who
would not be delighted to witness their
climb up the ladder of fame until they
are enabled to sit upon the top rung
in their divisions.
Despite the difference in weight, the
closest friends of the twins experience
considerable difficulty in identifying
them when together. Jack fights at 1853
pounds, while his brother is best at
1856. The lighter of the two Is taller
by at least two inches and appears to
have as great a framework of bones ar
his heavier twin.
Their heads are shy of hair in pre-
cisely the same spots and their twink
ling blue eyes give forth the same
luster while their facial appearance is
as a counterfeit.
The distinguishing feature most
prominent is Jacks possession of an
ear which has ben mangled in the ring
examination of Jacks left organ of
hearing it is possible to decide upon
his identity.
Los Angeles fight fans are destined
to become better acquainted with the
twins this winter. Both expect to re-
main on the coast until spring time
and have several battles in prospect.
Jack is confident of winning from
Burns and should he realize on this ex-
pectation he will be matched to fight
Jack OBrien or Tommy Ryan. Fly
winning this fight he would be entitled
to match with AL Kaufman and so
on ad inf1nitum into the heavyweight
championship battle with Marvin Hart.
Mike expects to fight Jimmy Gardner
before snow flies in the east. He also
contemplates battles with Joe Cans
and Willie Fitzgerald in the very near
future.
1t Is not improbable that he will get
on with Nelson or Britt early in the
spring time and all these battles will
be fought on the coast.

FIGHTING TWINS
ARE TOPNOTCHERS
SULLIVAN BROTHERS SEEK TO
BE CHAMPIONS
Mike and Jack Willing to Wager Large
Sums That They Are Best Scrap
pers in Their Respective
Divisions
The only fighting twins in the world,

The only fighting twins in the world,
Jack and Mike Sullivan, are willing
to wager S25O0 that there is no scrap
per in their division in the world who
can whip either of them.
Neither has ever experienced the
sensations of a knockout. Jack Twin
has fought one hundred and two bat
ties in the roped arena and has lost
but two of these. Kid Mccoy handed
Jack a package before a Los Angeles
audience September 27. 1904 but gained
the verdict on points at the end or
twenty rounds of battling. Jack
O'Brien turned the same trick against
him in Boston in the fifteenth round,
December %, 1903.
Mike has been equally as fortunate
and his recent fight with Joe Cans, the
American champion. demonstrated that
the little twin is equally as good in
his class as is his brother in the
heavier division.
Jack asserts that his brother is the
best little man in the world and will
back him for his pile whenever he goes
into the ring.
Mike comes to town to assist his big
brother in getting in trim for his fight
with Tommy Burns and brings wad
of money to back Jack for the win
ner's end of the purse.
Those who have witnessed the
brothers in action and have seen them
in ring battles do not feel called upon
to deny their claims. Both are re-
markable pugilists. They are classed
among the gentlemen of the game, are
we'll educated. possess a good bank roll
which they earned by hard knocks in
the ring, have always been on the
square in their fights and strive earn
estly and sincerely to get to the top
of the ladder by way of the merit route.
A few moments conversation with
either will be sufficient to change
the common idea of a pugilist. Instead
of the bowery slang. they use pure
English and express themselves at all
times in refined and gentlemanly
manner, despite their profession and
associations.
When seen upon the street they are
wearing. not the noisy garments of the
tough and professional bruiser, but are
clad as business men.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-17

Jack "Twin" Sullivan has ceased hard
work in training for his fight with
Tommy Burns tonight, and yesterday
he merely punched the bag and danced
a few jigs to the tune of lively Irish
rag sung by himself.
He is in the best of condition, strong
as a bull, stout in wind, quick on his
feet and has developed his punch until
it has become the wonder of all who
have watched it go into execution.
Jack Is confident of pulling down the
long end of the purse, and his brother,
the other twin, is carrying around a
wad of yellow backs big enough to
choke an OK which says that my
brother will win easily"
Tommy Burns is In fine shape. has
lost his superfluous flesh and made the
weight without half the eXertion and
difficulty he expected. He put on the
finishing touches yesterday and he and
his cohorts at the North Beach bath
house are enthusiastic regarding his
chances.
With the scrappers in form and eager
for the fray, the tap of the gong will
come as a welcome sound to them. The
bout is sure to be one Of the best ever
pulled off in Los Angeles. Both are
evenly matched in all the essential
points, neither having much the ad-
vantage of the other.
Sullivan Is ruling a slight faVorite
because of his wider experience and
better showing in the ring, but the diff
ference is so slight that 1t is scarcely
noticeable. Few individual wagers have
been recorded, because the fight fans
are unable to form an opinion of the
outcome with sufficient satisfaction to
themselves to induce the placing of any
sums of consequence. The prevailing
odds so far have been 10 to 9 on Sui
livan.
Zubrck-Jefferes
Rube Jefferies and Warren Zubrick
are a card of great attraCtiveness in
themselves, and as a preliminary offer
ing is the de luxe of all that McCarey
has ever attempted. Both are trained
to the hour, have no complaint regard
ing their condition and could not be

the result is that he will step into the

any other time in his career.
Zubrick, however, has not wasted anv
time. He has been equally as active
and hardworking as his lanky opponent |

COMMISSION HEARS TESTIMONY
TWO Witnesses Examined in Regard to
North Sea Incident


Paris, Jan. 30-The international
commission inquiring into the North
Sea incident at it's session today heard
two Swedish witnesses, Captain John
son and Mate Stromberg, of the cargo
boat Aldebaran. They both testified
that a few hours preceding the firing
on the British trawlers by the Russian
squadron, their boat was wrecked in the
North sea by strange warship, which
nred many shots at the Aldebaran,
but did not do her serious damage.
The stranger then disappeared.
Counsel for Russia protested and
this testimony was not directly con-
nected with the North Sea incident,
but Admiral Fournier, president OF
the commission, ruled that the testi-
mony was admissible.
Hugh O'Beirne, the British agent,
said the strange vessel was the Rus
sian transport Kamtchatka, which mis-
took the Swedish craft for a torpedo
boat. Mr.. OBeirne further declared
the attack thereafter sent wireless
message to Vice Admiral Rojestven,
sky, notifying him that she had been
attacked by torpedo boat, and Ro-
jestvensky thereupon ordered his
squadron to be on the lookout for tor
pedo boats, which, Mr.. O'Beirne as
serted, caused the North sea incident.

Decision Auainst Packers.

Washington, Jan 30.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided the case Of the United States
versus Swift & Co., known as the beef
trust, charging conspiracy among the
packers to fix prices on fresh meats,
etc. The opinion was handed down
by Justice Holmes and affirmed the
decision of the court below, which was
against the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis.
cussed at length the various conten-
tions of the packers and disposed of
them individually. He admitted that
some of the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was nee
essarily true, on account Of the vast
extent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient cause had been shown
to prove continued offenses and an
Offense of such nature to justify the
proceeding The opinion, continued
the injunction granted against the
packers under the Sherman antitrust
law by the lower courts. The opinion
was concurred in by all the members
of the court.
The supreme court of the United
States today denied the application OF
Machen, Lorenza and Croft for a writ
of certiorari in the case against them
charging conspiracy to defraud the
government in connection with the
postof1ce department irregularities
The effect is to leave standing the
decision of the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia finding them
guilty as charged. Machen, Lorenzo
and the Groffs were sentenced to two
years in prison, and to pay fine OF
$4,000 each.
The so-caIled Denver election fraud
cases found their way into the SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day in the shape of a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus which was pre-
sented by United States Senator Pat
terson. The cases covered by the pc
tition are those of Peter Miller and
Thomas Shepperson.
