BERGER BETTER
THAN EXPECTED
O'Brien Beats the Big Coast
man But Has TO Fight
Hard

Although Sam Berger showed unex-
pected form in his six-round battle n
Philadelphia last night against Jack
oBren. he was outgeneraled by the
quaker and the decision. had there been
any, would have gone against him.
Berger was a big surprise to the quaker
sports, lie was very fast on his feet
showed fine brand of cleverness, and
but Tor the fact that his Judgment Of time
and distance was very poor he would
have beaten Jack lie was the aggressor
and followed OBrlen an over the ring at
Intervals But he seemed unable ITO land
his blows in the SPOT where they would
have counted.
O'Brlon, on the other hand. was in per-
feet form. lie fought carefully and took
no chances His lightning left was ever
on the move. ANA he smashed Berger in
the face repeatedly crossing his right
TO the jaw after the jab.
Every round of the six belonged TO
OBron on points. Bergers only effec-
tive blow was a right under the heart
IT. failed to do any damage however as
OBren was, as usual the smallest frac-
tion of an inch out Of the way.

Last Annual Statement Somewhat Bet

Last Annual Statement Somewhat Bet
ter Than That Of Previous Year.
In view of the recent act of Congress
the President to appoint
a commission 10 examine and appraise
the property OF the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal for the government.
the report Of the canal company for
The year ending May 81. 1906, is Of
particular interest. Practically all Of
the revenue of the canal is of course,
from tolls, which amounted TO S176.354,
an increase Of S26.6S9 over the re-
ceipts Of the previous year Interest
on deposits. lighterage, rents and in
come from the contingent fund bring
the total of the revenue for the year
up 10 S179.3S3. an increase $24326. To
maintain the canal it cost S65.779 and
the interest on the 4 per cent loan
amounted 20 Si04.11S. leaving a sur
plus for the year Of S9.4S6. This seems
a poor enough showing, but is a great
Improvement over the two previous
years. which showed deficits OF S2912
and S5516 respectively. It was stated
at the offices of the company yesterday
that President Roosevelt has not as
vet appointed the commission for the
purpose Of appraising the canal prop
erty. but that this would probably be
done within the next two weeks In
th' the stockholders see some faint
light for hope.

What 1T COSTS
FOR BASEBALL

ono can say that thousands Of dol
fairs are expended annually for baseball
games and convey in a vague way what
baseball expenditure means.

Messed baseball games in 1905 which is the
estimate of one hopeful citizen, 1t is fair
TO say that az least half of the -5ooo.oOO
paid admission to the games. Suppose
that each of this 100000 paid % cents TO
witness his favoritc sport. That would
make a gross total of sS125o0 at the
gate in one season. That begins TO sound
moro like figures.
Now add to that the carfare which was
expended by each spectator. whore the

Police Commission Fails TO
Find Anything Wrong in
Conduct Of Officers

After hearing the charges Of conduct
to an officer against Police
Captain Thomas s. Kane and Patrolman

tained.
Corners case was heard first. lie was
accused by William G. Hunter. youth.

jefferson streets on the evening of July
s. Conner and Officer Abrams were
making an arrest at the time, and Hunter
who was in the crowd of spectators. al
legged that Conner struck him. While
Hunter did not see the officer deliberate
~ strike him, he saw him with his hand
raised in threatening manner.
Mrs. Phoebe Johnson, the mother OF
Hunter informed the Police Board that
the boy had bsen so badly hurt by officer
Conner that she was compelled TO take
him 20 a physician the next day. She said
his neck was swollen and he was bruised
and cut in several places
The witnesses called by Conner in his
own behalf made statements TO the board
which precluded the idea of assault Of
ficer Abrams who was present during
the trouble stated that he saw Hunter
strike Conner. The hitter did not return
the blow, but simply pushed him back
with the rest Of the crowd. Other wit
.nesses positively stated that Conner did
not strike Hunter. DR. J. Harvey Spru-
ance, who attended Hunter, told Chief OF
Police Black that Hunter was not bruised
or cut the day after the trouble. The
swelling Of his throat was due to scrofula
with which the young man is suffering.
No Evidence in Kane Case.
There was absolutely no evidence
against Captain Kane. He was accused
Of abusing Mrs. Johnson when she and
her husband applied at the police sta
