If the Legislature OF Florida will
pass nm act making a certified list Of

ASKS FOR WARRANTS
FOR 1ENNY'S SLAYER
Mother Wants Neil and Others Con-
cerned Charged With Murder.
Boy Absolutely Unfit

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. March L.
The mother Of Harry Tennebaum, who
died after his fight a week ago, applied
to District Attorney Langd0n for war
rants for murder against every person
connected with the Neil-Tenny contest.
The application has been taken under
advisement until after the inquest. and
IL the evidence justifies the charges
made by Mrs. Tennsbaum the warrants
probably will be issued
Since the fight IL has been found that
the certificate purporting to be signed
by a physician. was worthless. written
by some unknown person, and that the
fighter never had passed a physical ex-
animation.
On top OF this discovery comes an
other equally startling report. DR..
Crowley, reputable physician OK Larks-
pur. says he was called to treat the
dead fighter three days before the bat
tie. He found '"Tenny'' weakened bv
loss OF blood, as well as enaciated by
an Intestinal complaint. He frankly
says the boy was IN no condition to night
In view of these circumstances, Mrs
Tennebaum is determined the death OF
her son shall not be unayenged The
law is specific and provides a heavy
penalty for failure to examine fighters
before ring battles.

These are Earl Elder. 154; Karl Locke.

Williams Did Well.
The last bout, between T. s. vii

both men up TO good advantage. At
the very start Williams with a quick
rush threw Turner to the mat and had
