MOTHER LOSES SUIT FOR

Judge MoEan Denies Mrs. Jennie MUIR
phys Petition for Guardianship
of Hazel Brennan


Judge Mogan denied the petition of
Mrs. Jennie Murphy yesterday for let
ters of guardianship for her 6-year-old
daughter, Hazel Brennan, and declared
that the child must remain with her
aunt, Mrs. Mary Keefe. unless a new
action is commenced in the Marin
County courts. The case was dismissed
without prejudice, however, and the
matter will probably be taken up again
in San Rafael.
Mrs. Murphy gave Hazel into the care
of Mrs. Keefe at the time of the death
of the girls father. Recently Mrs. Muir
ply was married second time, and, be-
ing in a position to care for the child.
demanded her return. Mrs. Keefe fore
stalled action by securing letters of
guardianship in the Marin County
courts, and it was this granting of
guardianship that Judge Mogan refused
to interfere with.

Hattie NJ Hoppock is a native OF
Indiana, but has lived in Fresno for
sixteen years. She resides with her
mother at 532 / street and is employed
as assistant bookkeeper in the Fresno
office of the Standard Oil Company. She
is a prominent member of the Fra
terna1 Brotherhood, which has about
800 members in Fresno, and also be-
longs to the Degree Of Honor. She
is an able and convincing talker and
has had experience in contest work,
which will stand her in good need in
this contest. Several years ago she
won second prize in the contest given
by the Fresno Democrat for Worlds
Fair trips. With so much larger re-
wards at stake she hopes her friends
will lend her more loyal support than
ever. She has Influential friends
throughout the San Joaquin Valley
and also in San Francisco. and her in
tention is to enlist the assistance of
all of these to help her win some of the
big money.
With two such popular represent
atlves in the contest, the Raisin City
will claim a larger share of public at
tention than ever, and readers of The
Call will watch with interest the out
come of the rivalry between the two
for popular favor. Miss Erwin has not
yet scored any votes for the present
period, so it will be an even getaway
between the two Fresno favorites, and
may the best hustler win.

by the county of Merced, is going to
be represented in the contest, also

Erne signed up with me for the light
weight championship.
Every man who saw that fight
knows what 1 did to Erne for eleven
rounds. My one mistake, which 1 cor
rected later, was in that I did not go
in to outslug him. 1 had him beaten
at that game, but 1 did not know it
then. l gave him credit for too much
punch and stood away, slashing him
down until 1 could get him without
taking a chance. In the twelfth round
Erne butted me over the left eye and
the eyebal came out of the socket and
lay on my cheek. They had to stop the
fight and 1 lost the decision. That
bump delayed my championship for two
years.
After that I licked Dial Hawkins

BURKE-JOHNsoN BOUT.
The Sailor Will Sail in But the Wind
Seems to Favor Mr.. Johnsing.

New York, Sept. 10.-The final
preparations are being made by Sailor
Burke and Jack Johnson for their six
round battle. which is to be held at
Bridgeport, Conn. Thursday night.
Burke has been working steadily at
Stratford Conn. the favored camp OF
local fighters. and while he has been
working his muscles he has not over
looked the necessity for carrying good
weight into the contest.
He expects to tip the scales at about
$50 pounds when he enters the ring,
and although Johnson will weigh
probably 20 pounds more. the sa1for is
confident of his ability to give the big
negro the fight of his life
He even goes so far as to say that
six rounds will be all that is needed for
