PLAT PROPOSES TO STAY
Says He Will Remain Senator to the
End of His Term
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-United States
Sentaor Y. C. Platt celebrated his seven
ty-fourth birthday at the Oriental hotel
at Manhattan Beach today in accordance
with his custom for a number of years
The only difference with his celebration
this year compared with other years lay
in the fact that the senator was a little
more feeble physically and there was not
the usual gathering of leaders of the Re
publican party of New York city ana
state.
Heretofore the senator's birthday has
been the date of notable midsummer
conference of big and little Republicans
from ali over the state, who came TO
town only to congratulate and discuss
party affairs with their leader, whom they
called affectionately the ''old man.
Asked If he had any intention of resign
ing from the senate he said:
Not the slightest. l am still a senator
and shall remain one until the end OF my
term unless l should shuttle off this NOR
tai coil, which l don't expect. am feel-
ing first rate. l shall stay here until 'he
end of the season"

AVALON is STILL
CAREFULLY PROTECTED
MOTOR BOATS MAY LAND OUT
SIDE OF FENCE
Judge Restraints Invaders from De-
stroylng Fences and Other OBJ
structions Erected by Banning
Company at Catalina

Without questioning the rights of own
ership of Catalina island claimed by the
Banning family, Judge Conrey, in a de-
cision rendered yesterday, enjoined them
from interfering with the landing of the
Meteor companys boats, by fences or in
any other manner.
On the other hand the Meteor company
Is restrained by an order of the same
court. from tearing down or destroying
any fence that the Santa Catalina Island
company, as the Banning interests are
officially known, may build or erect on
any part of their property.
The decision is the result of cross liti-
cation begun several months ago. TO
preserve a monopoly of the tourist trade
to the island, the Catalina company
erected a barbed wire fence around the
wharf to prevent the landing of passen-
gers from any but its own boats.
Employees of the Meteor company tore
down part of the fence, and finally en-
gagged in a row with the employees of the
Catalina company.
Finally the Bannings applied to the su-
perior court for an injunction to restrain
the Meteor company from destroying its
fence and the Meteor company filed a
counter suit to compel the Catalina COM
pany to permit it to land at Avalon.
Both restraining orders are granted in
the decision handed down yesterday.
Before deciding the case, Judge Conrey
made a personal tour of inspection,
spending several days on the island, and
thoroughly acquainting himself with the
facts in the controversy.

is GIVEN A DIVORCE
Mrs. 6erdie Says Her Husband Was
Extremely Cruel

On the ground of extreme cruelty
Judge Rives yesterday granted divorce
to Mrs. Emma Berdie from Oscar G.
Berdie, city marshal of Arcadia.
Berdie did not appear to contest the
suit but the court asked for the evil
dence and several witnesses were ex-
amined. Mrs. Berdie took the stand and
testified that her husband had repeatedly
told her that he did not love her and
wished she was dead. His favorite wish,
when sober, was that the street cars
might run over her.
When drunk he had often struck her
and on one occasion had struck her
with a chair, inflicting a severe cut
over the left eye which DIR. j. H. Sey-
mour testified had required several
stitches to close.
Mrs. b. Finnigan a neighbor, testified
that she had known the Berdies for sew
eral years and that Mr.. Berdie had
acted like anything but a gentleman ="
She had heard him speak lightly of
Mrs Berdie's character, which the wit
ness knew to be of the best

makeup and that he is all wool and
| little over a yard wide.
Others of the lightweight class are ap-
parently oblivious of the fact that they
have a chance to make name for them
selves by licking Burns, but it is just be-
cause they wish to be dumb and not in the
ring with the foxy little kid.
Manager McCarey has his eye on Sum-
mers, one of the San Francisco bunch, for
his Terrible Turk and should his man in
the north be able to get him for one of
the fights 1t will even things bit, for the
Turk considers that he has improved
lately and is ready to go against almost
anything.
The Turk is one of the toughest speci-
mems of modern lanistrae. He is ready
and willing to fight anything or anybody,
as he has proved by his past perform
ances. When he fought Indian Joe he was
not allowed one chance in 1000 and every
one was looking for him to be knocked
through the ropes in the first round.
Go for Little Ones
For Eddie Menney, McCarey has spotted
Jimmy Carroll, the amateur bantam
weight champion of America. Carroll in
his other fights had displayed that he is
no mucker and will fight to the finish.
That is just what the Los Angeles fans
WdnI-IO see man WHO is game anu not
afraid to take the gaff. Whether Jimmy
will come is the thing that is in the air,
for he has much to lose in going against
boy like Menney.
Eddie is there with the punch and will
give and take. Yet to be considered is
the fact that Eddie may not be able to
fight again so soon after his battle with
Webster at San Diego. Should Eddie be
pushed into Sunderland at the hand of
Webster it Is not likely that he will get
the match in Los Angeles.
The fight between Webster and Eddie
will be sure to put one of them out of
commission. so that they will not be able
to take part in any fight that McCarey
should arrange for them.
Who Will Face the Rugose Brow
Dalton has his eye on a man of whom
reports differ widely Some say he will be
able to finish Dalton in about the first
round, while others are of the opinion that
things will be exactly the reverse.
Dalton will be able to fight from the
first call of time, and should he exert
himself will make his man look like the
sixth choice in a six-horse race. McCarey
does not like to disclose the name of the
man whom he has selected for Dalton,
one glorious mauling match from begin
ming to end.
Every day McCarey keeps in touch with
his man in the northern city, and 1t is
certain that before many days there will
be five of the best boys In training here
that 1t is possible to. find.

BRITISH scRAPPER DESIRES TO

English Bantamweight Champions
New York Representative Tele-
graphs Tom McCarey for
Battle

Manager McCarey of the Pacific Ath-
letic club yesterday received a telegram
from the New York manager of Jim
Driscoll, the English featherweight cham
pion, who knocked out Joe Bowker in the
seventeenth round in his fight before the
National Sporting club of London on
June third.
Driscoll is coming to America the latter
part of August or the first of September.
and will reach California in ~ctobeT.
Driscolrs American representative has
communicated with McCarey, asking him
to arrange for a fight between his man
and Abe Attell.
There is not the least doubt of Abe's
willingness to fight the foreigner, for Abe
is always in on anything of ilat kind
Whether Driscoll means business and
really wants to fight or is just attracted
by the size of American purses, is to be
decided on, but from the nature of his
managers telegram, it is understood that
he has his eyes on the worlds title, the
money being secondary consideration.
Such a fight as this will attract great
deal of attention, and Should McCarey
succeed in landing it, ii will mean much
for the local club. From all reports,
Driscoll is boy of no little class and
should be able to make things hot Tor
Abe for twenty rounds.
Tom Opens Negotiations
Abe is the only legitimate champion
featherweight, though the title has often
been claimed by others. Jim, because of
his decisive victory over Joe Bowker, is
the acknowledged feather champion of
England and wishes to have chance at
the worlds title.
The fight would make an international
battle that is sure to cause quite ripple
in the pugilstic puddle. Should Driscoll
manage to defeat Abe, it would mean the
making of the boy, for he would have the
opportunity to go against many of our
best feathers.
Should Abe balk at the proposition
there are others in the 122 pound class
that would be willing to have try at
the Britisher. Freddie Weeks would
make a good opponent for him, and If
Abe refuses, his name is sure to bel
among the first mentioned to be matched
against him
McCarey wired yesterday, asking upon
what terms Driscoll would fight, and If
he is willing to accept the match on a
percentage basis there is no doubt that
he will be seen in action in Los Angeles
during the month of october.

OFFER BIG PURSE FOR
LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE
McCAREY WOULD MATCH CANS
AND MEMSIC
Wires Offer of $4,000 Purse North to
Induce Dusky Champion to
Fight Before Pacific
Athletic Club

From the office of a little twilight
sheet every afternoon reports have
been coming that Manager Tom ]. Nc
Carey of the Pacific Athletic club was
out of the running and that there will
be no more good fights IN the Angel
city-meaning that McCarey had re-
fused to offer any more purses for
fight between fighters who are con-
sdered to be the top of their profess
sion.
Is it true? Will McCarey let the
men fight only on a percentage basis?
NO, a thousand times no." shouted Nc
Carey. And to prove that he is still
among the greatest promoters and that
the local club is still among the fore
most boxing associations in the coun-
try he last night wired his official
representative in San Francisco, Harry
Lean. to offer for him purse of $4,000
for twenty round battle between the
worlds lightweight champion, Joe
Cans, and Jimmy Burns, otherwise
George Mesmic.
Does that sound as though Thomas
McCarey and the Pacific Athletic club
are down and out? No, not yet, nor
soon. McCarey stated yesterday that
all the lightweights were sidestepping
one left to try but Cans.
Is Cans so intent on getting a match
with Nelson that he cannot drop down
to Los Angeles and pick up $4,000 by
going twenty rounds with Burns?
Reality or Shadow?
Is Cans like the old fable of the dog
on the bridge? Will he drop the real
and grasp for the shadow? Tex Rick
I,n -tv in, lit off # a
$40 900 purse for Nelson and Cans at
Ely. 1t is very much doubted if Cans
can get the Dane to sign articles.
There was a time when Joe would
have tainted at the mere mention of a
$4,000 purse, and Joe still has the
same old blood in his veins. But it is
not so with Ben Selig, Cans manager
He has doubtless figured out what a

IL card events ever staged. Manager
Tom McCarey is arranging an lntercitS
affair that will make a fine showing on
the list of small fights. Five of the pest
bows that San Francisco has ever pro-
duced will be imported to go against the
local youngsters.

staged at the pavilion. McCarey's north
ern representative is transacting all the
business for the club manager in san
Francisco and Is in close communication
with his employer ~
The fight, which is scheduled for July
26 will consist of five ten'round bouts
from the very best that San Francisco mas
ever produced. McCarey will pick from
the best of the local ranks, consisting OF
Dalton. Lauder, Berry, Menney, Webster
and so on.

Not one of the San Francisco boys VIII

promising, however, and are game to the
core. They are all beautiful little fighters
and are very classy. They have been max
ing names for themselves in the northern
city, and with just a little chance Will be
fighting among the top notchers.
With all the big bugs holding Off for
all the money that was ever coined, thls
is about the only thing that Manager Nc
Carey can do. Cans can't be touched for
less than $40, 900. and from that they come
on down to $4,000 or so.
McCarey has Jimmy Burns on his hands
and 1t is impossible for him to get man
who will think of fighting him. Hyland
saws that he can't see anything in the
match for him. and won't do business be-
cause he knows what the outcome of such
a meeting would be.

Jimmy Burns will leave Wednesday
morning for San Diego where he is to
referee the fight there that day between
Kid Webster and Eddie Menney. The
boys are scheduled to go twenty rounds
and it is likely that there will be things
doing long before the limit is reached.
This contest is causing no little COM
ment for both boys are well liked in Los

ring This will be the first fight for either
of them that was ever scheduled to go
that far and it is not at all unlikely that
the go will result in a knockout in the
early part of the game.
