COOLEY MEETS
CALIFORNIAN
HEAVYWEIGHT Boxers VIII Ap-
pear in Ring at Ierre
Haute.
Trainer Billy Delaney Tells Of
the McGovern-Britt
Affair.

Billy Delaney, the well-known sport
ing man. who is mana ging Al Kauf-
man, the heavyweight boxer, reached
his home in Oakland last night on the
Overland from New York. He was in
the best of spirits after the long trip
and Grady to discuss the fight situation
in the East
There is no doubt that the New York
papers gave Terry McGovern all the
best of it in his match with Jimmy
Britt, but it was not fair" said Delaney.
Several good judges came to me after
the match and said the decision was
not fair one. In fact, it seems Terry
did so much better than his New York
supporters thought he would that the
sports leaped at the chance, and talked
nothing but McGovern. Competent
judges who saw the match claim Jimmy
was as good if not better than McGOv-
ern."
In speaking of AL Kaufman he said:
When 1 went to New York we had
matches arranged for the 18th and 2Sth
of June, with Cooley and Rubin, both
in New York, but when the Governor
showed signs of interfering 1 left New
York and went to Philadelphia. There
l placed AL under Bob Deady'S manage
ment. When 1 took Eddie Hanlon. 1
did the same thing. Deady is one of
the best trainers in the East. While
we were there we were offered six
round go in the open air at the baseball
park, with Jack O'Brien, on July Z, but
Jack declined. We ar now negotiating
with Tommy Burns and we may get
him for the match.
While in the East kaufman will
meet all Corners. This will give him
experience. which is the best teacher"
In regard to Berger, Delaney said:
I'VE have always been ready and eager
to meet Sam Berger anywhere, any
time, any place and under any rules, but
my opinion is Berger Will never consent
TO meet Kaufman under any circum-
stances"
Kaufman is a great deal better
man today tha nO'Brien. He is the
undisputed champion of the Pacific
Coast and he is willing to meet any
white man breathing. No man ever
went to New York that was as much
sought after by matchmakers as AL
Kaufman. If any of those claiming 6
the championship wish to meet aKuff-
man in California where boxing is
legal, he will take the first train for
the coast"
NEW YORK, June 14.-Big Al kauff-
man. the heavyweight pugilist of
manager. Billy Delaney. for the pur-
pose of getting on a few limited round
bouts in this city. has finally succeeded
in getting a match. He has agreed to
meet Fred Cooley the Chicago pugilist.
for ten rounds at show to be held
at Terre Haute, Ind, on June 22- They
will battle at catch weights. kauff-
man is getting into shape for the bout

FUEL FROM ALCOHOL.
Possibilities of the Measure Pending
in Congress.
Uouf


There is strong promise of great and
good results from the passage OF the free
alcohol bill which the house has sent to
the senate. There is no good reason to
doub. that II will become law, however
strongly it may be opposed by the Stan
dard Oil company. That corporation has
abundant cause to wage wac against It
on business principles. Free alcohol Is
not only a menace to the Standard OIL
interests, but to a less, but stll oonsid-
cradle, degree 10 the coal combine. The
pending bill abolishes the tax on 'denatur-
lied" alcohol. "Denaturized" alcohol is
alcohol made undrinkable and uncombin-
able in beverages In his talk in support
Of this measure before the ways and
means committee, Secretary Wilson of the
Agricultural department showed that the
soil could be made to produce in alcohol
all the fuel that the country needs, and
added:
1.-THE northern states could readily de-
pend upon the white potato as a source
of heat and light. the southern states upon
the yam and the sweet potato, and the
western states upon the sugar beet. -
The average amount of sugar and starch
which goes to waste in the stalks of In
dian corn annually would make 100 gal
Ions Of commercial alcohol per acre. When
we consider that the number of acres in
Indian corn is approximately 100. 100000
IL is seen that the quantity of alcohol
that is lost in the stalks is so large as TO
be almost beyond the grasp OF our con-
ception"
Need there be any longer a distressful
apprehension OF the woes that will come
upon the people when the supply of coal
is exhausted? Need the millions be af-
iicted by inordinate demands Of the coal
combine or by strikes Of miners or lock-
outs by operators? Alcohol can be pro-
dueed at very small cost. ana In practi-
eally unlimited quantities. II Is in all
things that grow. in both the vegetable
and animal kingdoms. II has been the
source both OF great evil and OF great
| good 10 mankind Hereafter Il promises
TO swell UNNECESSARILY the credit side OF
| the account Meanwhile there Is prob
ably much more than bare possibility
i that practical science will be able to store
the surplus heat OF the summers sum
shine and render It available for all thd
purposes served by fuel

perpetual Office seeker and chronic
bolter
No one, on the other hand, questions
the ability OF Building Inspector With
nell. who is up for reelection. As
building inspector he has set his author
ity against fimsy construction, and the
building catastrophes we have had since
his incumbency have been only in cases
where he was overruled and overridden
by the council. There is criticism OF
his action as member of the Board of
Public Works but the new charter abol-
ished that board and the building in
spector will hereafter have nothing to
do with public works contractors.
