A story is told of a young wife who

sure of, Snd she made her interviews

One morning there came to her house
q collector of ashes. "Ash-ees, ash-ees!"
she heard him calling in stentorian
tones. As the cry was repeated again
and again she became more and more
perpleXed as to what .sash-ees'' meant.
Finally she went to the gate in the
rear and opened it. "Ash-ees?' came

LEGISLATURE OPPOSES BOXING
senator Gus Hartman VIII Frame
Bill stopping Glove Contests

Prizefghting in California will meet
with opposition at the next session Of
the Legislature. Senator Gus Hartman
of this city will introduce a bill at
Sacramento putting a ban on both pro-
fessional and amateur contests. Hart
man declares he is not a reformer, but
the methods of the lighting promoters
who conduct the game are not in har-
mony with the betterment of the sport
and he believes that fighting as IL is
being conducted now should be stopped.
Hartman was member of the As
Ralston bill, which was introduced to
stop fighting, but was defeated after a
close vote.
Hartman declares that he has not
yet framed the bill, but he says it will
be more stringent than the one Ralston
introduced, and it will put an end, IL
it is carried, to professional bouts and
also to the so-called amateur contests
in this State. He is strongly opposed
to the fight trust, and this is one OF
the reasons he is opposed to a contin-
uance of boxing. The quarreling of the
trust managers has undoubtedly had
some effect on Hartman's attitude
In speaking of the proposed bill yes
terday he said:
Il am going to frame a bill and in
troduce it at the next session of the
Legislature. and If it becomes a law Ii
will put stop to boxing in every form
in this State. While / am an admirer
of the sport, from the manner in which
it has been conducted during the past

DESPERATE SPURTS
IN THE SX-DAY
BIKE RACE

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Thousands of
persons were again drawn to Madison
Square Garden today and tonight to
witness the six-day bicycle race which
began at midnight Sunday. The
most interesting features of todays
grind were the attempts on the part of
Walthour of Atlanta, Ca, and his
teammate, Bedell of Long Island, to
make up the deficit of one lap which
they incurred yesterday when they dou-
bled up as reconstructed team. They
made frequent spurts ahead of the
bunch, but each time they failed to
make a gain.
Walthour came very near fooling the
field late tonight, when he gained al
most lap after desprate sprint, but
unfortunately there was spill, and al
though he was not in it under the rules
he was not allowed the advantage
gained.

which is promoting the championship
fight between Cans and Kid Herman.
The gymnasium is equipped with all
the apparatus used by boxers in the
muscle building exercises they require
while preparing for contest in the
ring.
While there has been a question as
to the ability of Cans to make the re-
quired weight in midwinter he has
set all discussion at rest by saying he
will make the weight more readily in
winter than he could under summer
skies. On this score Cans says:
Il can always make weight much
easier in cold weather than In warm
My chief enemy in training is a desire
for water. When 1 train in a hot
climate 1 always suffer from lack of
water and find 1t hard not TO drink all
that 1 want Denying myself water
worries and irritates me-. In cold
climate it is different. / never notice
the lack of water and, consequently, /
am not bothered and / take of weight
easily. 1 will weigh about 1870 pounds
on New Years morning
Cans has never made a mistake In
the past regarding his weight, and IL
is not likely he will do so on this oc-
casion when so much depends upon his
condition. To make the required
weight means he must do a lot of ex-
ercising, and this will land him in the
ring fit to defend his title. He has
learned in the last few months that
the most money is made by the win
ming fighter, and as he is nearing the
end of his ring career he will take no
chances of being defeated.
There are only two fights in sight
for Cans after his next engagement,
and he would undoubtedly give much
to land either one of them The first
of them would be with Nelson and the
other with Britt. These are the only
men in the ring outside of Herman
who figure to give him a battle. With
the prospects of another big purse In
Nevada ii is reasonable to expect that
the Baltimore man will take no chances
of a setback at the hands of his young
opponent from Chicago when they meet
In Tonopah to open the New Year.
Jim Neil is out with the first an
nouncement regarding boxing here next
year. Early next month he will ap-
ply to the Supervisors for a permit
he will at once challenge all the feath-
erweights on behalf of his son frankie.
He Is after Abe Attell and will try to
get that elusive boxer into the ring
with his son.
frankie Neil has been exercising his
fathers horses at Emeryville track
for some time and could get into con-
dition for a match at short notice. He
claims the featherweight championship
and will not stop until he has forced
AtteH into the ring or has placed him
on record as being afraid to hook up
with him in twenty-round bout.
Adyices received from Willie Fitz-
gerald are to the effect that he will be
here before the end of the week and
will then be ready to settle down to
strict training for his match with
Jimmy Britt. The fighting harp Of
Brooklyn has been after return match
with Britt these many days. and when
they meet there will be but few love
taps exchanged.

Mr.. Pettus, while he entered the
senatorial chamber at a later date than
did his colleague, came at that period
Of life when a great number of men
seem to think that the time for politi-
cal aspirations and honors has passed.
He is considered one of the wits of the
Senate. 1t is well remembered by
great number Of the senator's how he
scathingly ridiculed the speech Of a
senator during the notable debate on
the Philippine question. His remarks
were so ridiculous and laughable that
the hitherto decorouS Senate CONFUSED
itself with laughter. The same day he
again caused the Senate to break out
in an uproar when he was seen to
slowly rise in his seat as though to
seek recognition from the presiding
officer. and just at that moment when
Senator Frye, the President pro tenn,
was about to signify that Senator Pet
tus was entitled TO the floor, the Alt
bama senator slowly put his hand into
his pocket, pulled out piece of black
tobacco bit a piece off in a very me-
thodical manner, and with that same
slow motion deposited the tobacco In
his pocket and sat down. Such inch
dents have been the fayorite way Of
Senator Pettus's breaking In on the
solewnity of the Senate.
