by the wiplng out OF San Francisco
America has lost Its oid-time pugilistlc
headquarters for many months to come.
Sporting men say that It viii be a year
at least before boxing can be revived there,
and Il may be two or three years before
any more big bouts are scheduled. Me-
chanics' Pavilion, where nearly all the Inn
portant fights were decided, is no more,
having been one OF the last buildings to
go In the great eonhagration. Even II It
remained II could not possibly have at
traeted paying attendance for many
months. Outside OF the city Is the big
open air enclosure known as the Colma
Athletic club. It Is simply a place where
bouts have been decided In the open. and
undoubtedly would be available had the
catastrophe been Of small proportions. As
matters stand. however. the ring enthus-
lasts OF the city WIN have no time to pay
attention to hEhts.
Now that the base ball nitt has been en-
larged until no further Improvement can
be made in this direction, and has been
modined in design by the addition OF heel
pads and finger webs to insure the safe
Judgement OF the ball. until ingenuity can
suggest nothing further. an Illinois In
ventOr comes forward with a mitt for two
hands, which is entirely unique. This glove
Is constructed with separate haad and

the eatcher's throwing arm. one OF the
gloves, depending on wheter the wearer IL

the easy and quick removal OF the hand.
In modern base ball the use OF the glove
Is looked upon as essential even for the

with only six weeks more to practice for
the New London regatta, the Harvard
crew Is training more enthusiastically than
ever. There viii be no break in practice
from now on. The work will be steady
grind until the day OF the races, growing
harder and harder as the weeks go by.
Still there is consolation for the Crimson
rowers in the knowledge that the men at
Yale are doing the same thing without
half the encouragement The Harvard
varsity eight has been rowing in practi-
eally the same order for about a month.
This speaks well for the individuals and
for the chances Of the crew as a whole.
In rowing harmony and combination work
count as they DO in no other sport. A
mls-stroke OF one man upsets the work OF
all the others. A crew may be compated
to a hand Of eight fingers. To Harvard's
carelessness in the past OF how many
shifts were made Is attributed many Of
its defeats. This year things will be diff
ferent. Coach Kennedy OF Yale says him
self that the Crimson has q different pro-
position to offer the Blue this year Ken
nedy and Coach Morse were at Cambridge
during the Yale vacation looking over the
rival eight.

Base ball at Creighton university has been
progressing very favorably for the last two
weeks. The members OF the squad have in
most cases been on hand promptly every
day for practice and as a result the team
work is very good for this season Of the
year Dick Coad is playing his position at
backstop In good style and is a careful
guardian OF second base. The pitching stan
has been somewhat weakened by the loss OF
Straton. who went home at the close OF the
term in the medical department. However,
Lanigan and Whitehead are both in good
form this year, are playing excellent ball
and doubtless will be able to handle the un,
usual amount OF work which will deYolve
on them. steen, who Is in his freshman
year at the Dental college, is covering third
base as 1t has not been played for many a
season; he fields his position we'll, is An 40
curate thrower and has been making a
record as one OF the best batters on the
team Jack Mullen and Mentally are both
playing well at shortstop and second base;
together with steen they probably make up
the best batting trio on the team. Kuhi.
who tips the beams at 100 pounds, is IN the
game with every ounce OF his avoirdupois
from the time the first ball is thrown. On

From present indications the attendance
at the Transmississippl will be large, for
the reputation of Omaha for entertaining
its guests has gone abroad, and ali the
golfers will want to come TO see for them
selves The Omaha Field club has as fine
a club house for the handling Of a large
crowd at a tournament as any in the
country. The membership of the club Is
500 and It takes accommodations on a large
scale to handle the club membership, so
the presence Of several hundred extra for
large tournament viii not discommode
things as II would in small club. Addi-
tionai lockers have already been installed.
especially for guests for the tennis and
golf. and for occasions when the Country
club men come over for a match. These
will be a great help in the handling Of the
outsiders.

Attorney j. A. Williams went to
New Orleans last week and ap-
peard before the pardoning board In
the interest of Andy Harris, a negro
who was sent to the penitentiary
for life in 1899 for the killing of
Eli Brown by his wife, Annie Har-
ris. Annie did the shooting after
being told by Andy to do it, and
after serving year or two she
was pardoned. A pardon was rec
commended and the Governor will
probably sign the papers OF release
in a week or ten days. A pardon
was also recommended for l. 5.
Burns, sentenced to twelve months
| in the Colfax Jail for retailing llq-
uor without license. The pardon
for Burns was received this week.
and was signed by the Governor
with the understanding # he again

Ito be reincarcerated under the ole
lsentence. Mr.. J. B. Roberts look
ed after Burns interest and he ane

elated over getting pardons TO

The Texas and Pacific and the
Iron Mountain railroads were fined
500 each during the week by the
Railroad Commission, for failure
TO bulletin trains and not keeping
their depots lighted. The failure
to bulletin trains is common
trouble In Louisiana, and If the
trouble is reported more frequent
", the travelling public can get re-
lief from the nuisance. Travellers
have the right to know when they
can expect trains for which they
are waiting.

The Galway Oil Corporation.

The Galway Oil Corporation.
The Chronicle job Office this
week printed one hundred litho-
graphed bonds for the Galway
Oil Corporation, and we Halter
ourselves the printing will COM
pare favorably with that turned
out by the city offices. This cor
poratlon has been going steadily
ahead with the view of developing
oil in the Colfax region, and Mr.
b. f. Galway, the president, has
great faith in ultimately accom-
plishing the end for which he has
labored.
The company first had its domi
ell in the city of New Orleans. ane
expended a considerable amount
of money boring in the vicinit,
of Gouldsboro, about which there
seems to have arisen some pro
tracted litigation. We requested
MIR. Galway to give us some dat
for publication about his company
and he sends us note embodylns
the following facts:
"The Galway Oil Corporation
having moved their domicil to Col
fax, La, are now about ready t
develop their holdings in Gran
parish. We were delayed by lay
suits, etc, but won out every time
having right on our side. 80 W
now ask our neighbors who lease
land to us to kindly come forwar
and renew the same, and help u
to develop Grant parish into tn
richest field in this great State"

Discussing the Amendments.

Discussing the Amendments.
On our second page will be found
an interesting discussion of the
proposed Constitutional Amend
ments, by "Legis ct Justitia." The
time draws uear Nov 9Th when
the voters will be called on to cast
their ballots for or against these
amendments, and there is but little
time for discussion. We, however,
do not accept our correspondents
views that the third, sixth, tenth
and twelfth amendments should
be voted against. We contend all
of the amendments should be vo-
ted for except the twelfth, against
which there is serious objection.
The third amendment increases
the salary of the Attorney General
from $4,000 to $4,000. The reason
for this increase is that the pres
emit salary is VIGOROUSLY made
quate for the services required, and
for the further reason that it
has been found too low to be any
inducement to lawyers of merit
und ability to accept the position.
Therefore we think the amend
ment should be adopted.
The sixth amendment relates to
the remodeling of the Appellate
Courts, to better subserve the pub
lie interest. The increase i'll cost
is very little, and it cuts no figure
at all where the public'good is con-
cerned. The people don't mind
an adequate expenditure for their
benefit they only want to see it
The bar endorses this amendment
and say it should be approved. Il
does not necessarily follow that be.
cause the lawyers endorse the pro
ject it should be adopted, but it il
simply question of general goot
for the public = and the lawyers
may have an eye on those extr'
judgeships. A similar amendment
was once defeated, but this one i
said to be free from the objection
that defeated the other. At an.
rate, the present system is cum
bersome and unsatisfactory, AM
we favor the proposed change.
The tenth amendment is to re
move the limitation to legislativ
appropriations to the Ruston In
dustrial school. The school fun
is ample, and the school needs tn
money. We think the amendmer
is a good one, and that it shout
be adopted by all means.
The twelfth amendment, in thu
it is unjust and unwise," we al
prepared to agree with our CORE
spondent that it should be vote
down. Its Objectionable feature
said to be due to the carelessne'
or neglect of those who drew U
the amendment. and this fatal d
feet should cause its defeat at I'll
polls.
So far as we can see there IS
good reason to oppose any OF Il
amendments except the twelfth Oh
which proposes to increase II
exemptions from taxation" but |
stead adds parsonages and chur'
property to the list subject
taxation.
