FIGHT PROMOTERS
WILL CONTROL
SHORT BOUTS.

The boxing association. made up Of
the presidents of the six clubs pro-
noting four-rOund fights, met recently
and framed some new rules. which are
expected to improve the class of sport
provided by them Incidentally they
curbed the tendency of the boxers to
hold out for big purses by limiting the
amount to be offered to $3.50.
The most important step was the
appointment of a registration commit
tee, composed of Willus Britt AL
Young and Harry Leap. This commit
tee will bar from the contests the men
who have been taking part in twenty
round fights. and also any others con-
sidered a detriment to the sport 1t
was decided to limit programmes to
six bouts, with a suggestion TO the
clubs that five bouts would make a
more desirable card Any boxer who
disappoints the public will have his
registration card cancelled, and any
club giving him a match while he is
under suspension will be barred from
promoting fights. No club will be al
lowed to hold a boxer under contract
longer than fifteen days. This will
prevent a club from keeping a man
under its control between exhibitions.
Willus Britt. who has had more ex-
perienee as promoter than any of
his associates in the new Organization.
suggested the various reforms, which
are expected TO help both fighters and
managers alike Mario BolO is presi-
dent of the association and Edward
Nolan is secretary. An effort will be
made to have the Supervisors continue
the present four-round game after the
licenses now in force shall have ex-
pired.
The law requires that sanctions be
first granted 70 the Pacific Athletic
Association. This body has withdrawn
its support, however. and a new law
will probably be framed. No one claims
now that the boxers are amateurs. as
all freely admit that they are paid for
their services in cash and not in
medals. The Supervisors are expected
to sanction the contests, but they will
probably limit the number of exhibit
tions to two or three month.

BY r. ~. Sn1ytl,.

California has a monopoly now, as
it has had for some years, of supplying
the prize ring with its sensational per-
formers. 1t has not stopped with JEFF
fries and Britt, the more recent of the
stars of the ring, but now presents an
array of talent in all the classes that
must be bewildering to the followers
of the ring In the East. where it seems
few promising men have come out in
recent years.
There the majority of the bouts are
between broken down boxers, who
could not get on at a cheap show here.
Here some unusually talented boxers
are coming up now and the class will
be excellent for some years to come.
Each and every one of the new COM
ers is a graduate of the four-round
game and now, with the incentive of
purses given openly there should be
continued additions to the ranks of the
hoxers.
AL Kaufman, by his victory over
Sam Berger, heads the list of Califor-
MAS new school of boxers. While he
has much to learn about the game he
starts off better equipped than many
men who have made a name for them
selves in the ring. Many scoffed at
Jeffries' pretensions as a boxer in his
early days in the ring. but they lived
to see him outstrip all competitors In
the race for the championship. The
difference between his first fights in
Mechanics Pavilion, when he met such
poor boxers as Baker and Van Buskirk,
and his fight in this city with Jim Cor
bett, when he is credited with outlook
ing that sensational glove artist, lis a
matter of ring history
The man who stands out above all
his fellows now was not as promising
then as Kaufman. IL the latter follows
out his expressed intention of retiring
from the ring for a time he probably
will return to the game a. more for
midable man. He is only 20 years OF
age and as he is not inclined to stout
ness he should lose none of his
strength during his respite. Delaney,
who knows all the angles of the fight
ing game would undoubtedly lay out
a course of exercise which would build
up Kaufman's already wonderful
physique In the meantime the ever
blooming Jack O'Brien, who seems his
most likely opponent, would not be
getting more youthful and If they met
it would be on more of an equality
than on their first engagement in this
city in October. 1905.
California has no sensational middle
weight to present at this time, but it
has a brilliant welter-weight in the
person of Joe Thomas, whom good
judges of boxing believe will be one
of the sensational performers of the
next few years. He is exceptionally
clever and at the same time has a good
punch. without which man can ac-
complish but little in the ring. Thomas
put out Honey Melody, who has been
recognized as the head of the division
since Joe Walcott shot off some of his
fingers while toying with an automatic
pistol. AT present Walcott uses a steel
brace to hold his globe, but 1t is not

The recent warm spell had a Pc
pressing effect on the duck shooters,
who are pleased at the present break
in the weather as il promises to set
the birds in motion and thus improve
the sport which was almost at a stand
still If this storm extends away up

Sight of the northern birds, which has
not been much in evidence up to the
present time.
There are few canvasbaeis on the
hay, but the great bulk Of the north
ern birds have not put in their ap-
pearance. The owners of preserves
had good shooting on opening day, but
since then the returns have been small.
Phil Bekeart Of the Family Club Sc
cured the limit opening day, but on
his second essay in the field he brought
down but ten birds. Twelve members
Of the Belvedere Gun Club which has

sun. had only fOrtYtwo ducks to show
for their day in the blinds last Sun
day Owing to the lack of rain the
majority of the ponds were dry, while
those which had any water were too
fUll from the overflow.
Alex Shields has been getting some
fair shooting this year. In four times
out on his preserve he has bagged
twenty-five each time.
Fred Hansen and Louis Lenz of the
Mascot Gun Club killed seventy eight
ducks between them on their Mount
Eden preserve last Sunday.
William Heyer has been one OF the
successful members Of the Alameda
Gun Club. as he has brought down the
limit on three occasions up 70 the pres

likely this will be permitted by many
OF MS opponents. As good a Judge of
boxing as Joe Cans urged Thbmas to
take on Walcott, as he was sure he
could beat the sawed-off negro Since
then Melody, whom Thomas knocked
out. has secured a decision over wal
cott, thus bearing out Cans idea The
man who Will get the greatest credit

who is able to knock him out He has
stopped several times under punish
ment, but has never been rendered un-
conscious.
Lew Powell is Californias latest con-
tribution to the ranks of the light
weights. Efforts are being made to
secure an opponent for the hard hit
ing young man, but he is being passed
up by all who are approached in the
matter of a match. Dick Hyland who
has shown an inclination In the past
to meet all corners. politely but firmly
declines to have anything to do with
Powell since seeing him dispose of
Willie Wolff
Hyland can be included in the list
of the rising lightwefghts, as he is
one of the best men in the class at the
present time He is anxious to meet
either Britt or Nelson and is sure to
hgure in big match before long In
the Middle West. where he has done
considerable lighting, he is looked upon
as invincible. He has great ruggedness

Among, the lesser lights who are
rapidly forging to the front are frankie

devoting their energies to the four
round game at present, but it will be
only matter of time before they will
try the more extended route, where
the big money is to be obtained. Ed
