for Herman, has accepted the offer
from Manager McCarey of the Pacific
Athletic club at Los Angeles and there
is no reason why the match should not
60 thru. The terms should not be any
hardship on either, as 1873 pounds at 8
O'Clock should permit the men to enter
the ring in tiptop condition. It will, of
course, be easier for Herman to make
the weight than Britt. Herman: could
go quite notch lower and still be
strong, altho the weight may possibly
bother Jimmy a little as it is under
stood that the Californian is getting
heavier.
Apparently Los Angeles believes in
homo rule and the city is not adverse
in advertising the fact. The San Fran
cisco promoters seeing the sheckles
come easy for the Los Angeles fight
manager decided to get part Of the pro-
ceeds, despite the fact that San Fran.
cisco is the best-paying boxing town
on the map, not even counting the easy
going quaker stronghold where Nc
Govern and Nelson met.
Morris Levy accordingly decided tc
descend'' on the city of flowers and
get "bit.' And then something
dropped. An order was introduced into
the city council licensing the fight
clubs, and when the smoke cleared
away it was found that McCarey, Of
the Pacific club, was the only one il
town who could get license. Unless
loophole should be found the Frisco
j promoters will be compelled to stay
where they belong. -. ;.

Plans are under Sway for the reor-
ganization of the Kitten league for this
year. The Kitten league ball game was
originated lin the Minneapolis fire de-
partment, in 1895, altho the name it now
possesses was not used until five years
later. Altho the game has been played
more than ten years, still it is practi.
cally the same today as it was at that
time. Some rules have been changed
and there have been few new ones
made, necessitated by the perfection of
the ball used. II G#,s. 2
The two teams first to play the game
were Engine company team, captained
by Sandy Hamilton, and the Truck
team, captained by Lieutenant Thielen,
at Engine house No. IL. Regular games
were played by these teams during the
summer evenings of '95, and a great
deal Of sport and enjoyment was OBJ
tanned from it. The scores at the
beginning were naturally large, some
scores reaching up into the twenties,
but, nevertheless, they were extremely
interesting and closely contested.
It became evident to Lieutenant
Rober. the father Of the game, that
| the game was permanent fixture in
Athe field of sports, and, unlike other out
door games, was just suited to an eve
ning's entertainment. He was trans
ferred to No. 10 engine house in the
fall Of '95, and as soon as possible, the
next season, started the game in tina,
section of the city.

TALLY that he believed the freshman
could be developed into heavy hitter.
The story goes, that the college
pitcher was trotted out and started
lobbing them up for '<Buck' who near
ly ripped the leather off the pill every
time it came near. Spike is said to
have stood around and chortled with
glee at the performance and grew more
enthusiastic every time Buck smashed
the ball into the netting, Finally, when
the matinee was over, Spike is said
to have informed Buck that if he would
take good care Of himself and not smoke
cigarets he might become a great col
lege player some day. He ,patted Buck
on the back and told him he was the

standing. It is unfortunate that this
clause was in the contract, but it is
there and must be met. It is up to
the gopher faculty, it would appear, to
carry out the spirit of the contract.
The fractions clause was put in the
contract on Dean Jones' suggestion,
as a protection for the board Of control
in case football was knocked out
by the board of regents or by big nine
action. It left the coach without legal
grounds for a suit to recover on the
face Of the contraction case his services
were not available thru anti-football
legislation. When the conference de-
