The original hall was built by Will

Conqueror, in 1907. The red King
celebrated his Christmas there two
years later Many banquets were sub
sequently held there. notably one on
New Years day, 1896, when Henry
III feasted oooo poor people there. In
1900 there was great fire at the
palace, which nearly destroyed the
immense hall. 1t was rebuilt by
Richard II, who added to it the pres
ent roof, which is said (by patriotic
Englishmen) to be unequaled in the
world for originality of conception,
scientific construction and beauty of
effect. The first great public act
which took place within its new walls
was, by strange fatality, the deposi-
ton of that very King himself in
1890.

England were established either

HARRY BAKER IS
AFTER ATTELL
CLEVER FEATHER WILL START
TRAINING
Believes That He Has a Good Chance
to Defeat the Champion
In the Coming
Battle

Harry Baker, brimming over with
health and good spirits, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday and will commence
preparations for his featherweight bat
tie with Abe Attell, some time toward
the latter part of the week.
Harry appears to have developed
considerably since leaving Southern
California and though not Weighing
more is huskier and a shade BROADER
across the shoulders. A rather won
derful feature of Bakers career lies
in the fact that he has not reached
his eighteenth birthday, which occurs
the 10th of this month.
They did not give me very cordial
reception in the north after 1 won
from Neil" said Harry, "and handed
me very cool welcome. The Neils
evidently put in sufficient talk about
me winning on a raw decision and no.
body gave me any credit.
"Well 1 am down here again and
glad to return because 1 believe that
there is a great chance for me to prove
that 1 have not won my past fights
on luck. Abe Attell will not be under
rated by me in the least, for 1 hold
him to be exceptionally clever but
still l don't see where he has it on
me, except in experience.
Il snail not be in the least dis
couraged II he defeats me and will try
again. Friends in the north advised
me strongly against meeting Attell now
and wanted me to wait for a couple
of years. There is this to consider.
If 1 keep waiting around and go east
there is no telling what fellow might
slip me bad one and then where
would 1 be?
Right now there is a championship
to be won and 1 believe that 1 can
turn the trick. Neil had years of ex-
perience on me and in but one instance
hurt me during the fight; that was
when he landed a hard blow to the
stomach before we were well under
way.
II don't think Abe can hit as hard
as | can and l figure on wearing him
down."
Baker has not as yet selected his
training quarterss but will probably
work at the east side gymnasium,
where Jim Flynn prepared for Burns.
He will be cared for by the two Ed
dies, Webster and Meeney.

JIU JlTSU FAILS
TO RETAIN HOLD
Rough Persons Unable to Be Sup
pressed by Japanese Methods
Of SubIection-A
Nice Fad

About two years ago there was big
noise over Jul jitsu. Every counter
hopper with a chest like a lath and
every cigaret-sucking. undergrown de-
generate saw in it a great light. He
pictured himself learning a few twists
of the wrist and going forth to make
cab drivers and baggage smashers quail
at the glare Of his eye.
Nearly every city boasted of its jewjit
professor, and a lot of easy money
seeking Japs worked the graft with the
avarice and rapacity of sucking calf
getting busy with the mother COW after
the milkmaid had sxacted her toll.
There was much written about the ter
rible game and it's fame was spread
abroad even like unto the merits of
new patent medicine.
Then came the reaction. The jewjit
classes started to fall. off and the great
japanese man killers went back to
answering the tinkle of the hotel clerk s
call bell. 1t was all for a cause.
Jewjit was all right so long as the
man you attempted to put it over on
was paralyzed or asleep. When the
victim whose neck was to be broken
happened to be awake the putting on
of the juit holds was as hard a task as
riding a Montana cowpony with cock
leburr under the saddle.
Rude, rough persons who did not
know and were not afraid of the bone
breaking jewjit, had way of slapping
the whiskers off the chin of the men
who sailed toward them, eyes aglare
and arm extended for the deadly thrust
of the upright thumb in the short ribs.
Too many jewjit artists encountered
the fadeaway punch. The deadly neck
hold was hard to place on some coarse
villain, who stepped in close and
crossed over with his horny right.
Jewjit might do for settling class rows
at Vassar, but when 1t came down to
deciding debates with cabbies delivery
men and half illuminated timber Jacks,
jewjit was about as effective as stab
bIng them in the ear with a slice of
angel food.
The fad waned. There was nothing
to 1t. 1t was nice fad all right, but
one needed a magazine revolver or a
baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire to
back 1t up. That Is why we hear no
more of the terrible Hishkfgjl of Japan.
1t would not even stop savate, the
French attack, and that was shown up
years ago when Tommy Ryan, II mem
ory fails not, took one of these frog
eating kickers and pounded him until
the Arch of Triumph was shaking like
a Mississippi delta cattail patch in a
West Indian hurricane.
When anyone mentions jiu-1itsu these
days Just make q mental note that he
is kidding you or has just arrived from
the unmanicured districts of the great
northwest. -

SEASON CLOSES
IN BIG LEAGUES
CHICAGO HOLDS LEAD FROM
LAST JUNE
For First Time Since Organization of
Large Alliances Both Windy City
Teams Capture the High
est Honors
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE baseball sea-
son of both major leagues for 1906
ended today with games at Chicago,
st. Louis and Cincinnati.
For the first time since the two big
leagues were organized both cham
pionships have come to one city. The
Chicago National league team won first
honors In that organization easily.
Taking the lead early In June and
holding it to the end it established
new major league record for the num-
Der of games won. OF the one hundred
and fifty-three games played by the
team one hundred and fifteen were
victories, the previous best record in
this respect having been held by the
New York club in the same league.
In the American league the Chicago
team upset all calculations by winning
the pennant. The contest was not de-
cided until last week, the New York
team being within striking distance of
the leaders until October 8, when a
x-inning defeat at Philadelphia put
them out of the running.
| An equally hard struggle for the sec
ond place was not decided until two
days later, when Chicago defeated

clubs last chance to overhaul New
York.
The, fourth and fifth teams, Phila-
delphia and st. Louis, were within
hailing distance throughout the sea-
son; Philadelphia, in fact, leading the
league on three separate occasions, the
last time no later than August s.
Washington and Boston were tall
enders throughout.
In the National league, outside of
Chicago's work, the chief feature of
the season was the hard struggle for
the second place between New York
and Pittsburg. This lasted until the
first week in September, when the lat
ter team fell back.
The other five clubs In the league
occupied the same relative positions
most of the season, although Brooklyn
and Cincinnati finished with but one
game between them for fifth and sixth
places, respectively. st. Louis was
never a contender and the Boston
clubs record of one hundred and two
defeats was only exceeded by that of
the same club in the American league.
Tuesday the worlds, championship
series will begin here between the two
Chicago clubs.
