DENVER, Nov. 1S.-President Roose-

ence in having contract between rep

quently, the local college people learned
that the Indians had not Cancelled their
date with the Nebraska university at
Lincoln. a part of their western tour,
and they at once asked the president,
through former United States Senator
Patterson, to request that the Indians
be given the leave necessary. A portion
of Senator Patterson's message reads:
1.-THE Denver boys want a square
deal and turn to you to get it for
them"
Governor Buchtel. who is chancellor
of Denver university, also wired Con-
gresham Bonynge and Senator Teller

LOCAL CHICKENS WIN
PRIZES AT SAN JOSE
Breeder of Cornish Indian Fowls
Takes His Pens North and
Returns Loaded with
Trophies

Alex Altman of 1874 East First street,
breeder of Cornish indian fowls, has
returned from the annual show of the
Santa Clara Poultry and Pet Stock as
ISOLATION loaded down with prizes and
awards of all kinds and classes which
he captured there with his display Of
chickens.
Mr.. Altman is believed to have the
finest breed of Cornish Indian chickens
in America. All of his stock comes
from the famous Brent English strain
and he has some of the finest cocks
and hens in the world.
Chickens at $25 an ounce is some
thing of a high priced fowl, but the
majority of the birds owned by Mr..
Altman are worth this and more, too.
The prizes captured by the Altman
birds at the San Jose show comprise
four special gold ribbons for the high
est class of fowls shown, five first
blue ribbons, four second red ribbons
and three third white ribbons, which
was the total of all prizes offered in
the Cornish fowl class.
In addition Mr.. Altman was given
the first prize for the best display of
Cornish chickens and the first prize for
the best display of fowls outside of
Santa Clara valley against all breeds
The two special trophies, the highest
honors possible to be won in the show,
were silver and cut glass ware of ex-
quisite workmanship.

JOHNSON GETS

HOWARD BAKER AND FRED

BIG RUSSIAN WORKING HARDER
THAN EVER BEFORE
Believes Former Fights with Fireman

and He viii Change His
style of Milling Some

Battling Johnson added Howard
Baker and Fred Ward to his training
camp at San Pedro yesterday, and
these welters helped out the Russian
by boxing three rounds each with him.
Baker has been retained to help john
son in his boxing, and yesterday S
work showed much improvement in his
style. His foot work appreciably was
better, and he has improved so much
that his stock is going up daily. He
is expected to be in the best shape OF
his career when he meets Jim Flynn at
McCarey's pavilion next Tuesday even
ing.
Flynn toiled along the road around
Eastlake yesterday morning and reeled
off ten miles before heAreturned to his
quarters at the club house. In the
afternoon he appeared in his individ-
ual stunts, which have made his train
ing so spectacular to the fans, and
finished the days efforts with two
rounds of boxing with Danny Webster
and three with Johnny 0'Keefe.
All of the other boys who are to take
part in the Thanksgiving attraction
were busy yesterday and are fast
rounding into shape. Webster. at
Eastside, is in fine condition, and his
work with the fireman is making him
strong and hardy
Cameron is training at the pavilion,
working out with Roy Page, and the
two have some great mixups during
the afternoon. Cameron is showing a
punch which he has improved of late,
and he expects to more than hold his
own with Arthur Collins. Collins is
clever, and Cameron says ne will offset
this with his right-hand drive.
Mantell has made his home at the
South Side Athletic club at Vernon,

the training has reached a stage where
he win tolerate nothing short of per-
lection from the crew. Each member
of the four is in good physical health
and it is probable that they will have
attained the height of training by
Thanksgiving day.
A comparison of the shells to be
used by the Los Angeles crew and by
the San Diego crew will show the
southern boys to have a big advantage
over the Los Angeles Athletic club.
In the first place the San Diego Boat
clubs shell is eighteen inches wide,
while the Athletic clubs shell is TWEEN
ty-two inches wide. The southern
clubs shell is said to weigh only 100
pounds However, this is not thought
to be correct, as it would then be the
lightest four-oar shell ever built If
it weighs $50 pounds it still will have
the distinction of being the lighteSt
she'll on the Pacific coast, in addition
to being the newest and most modern.
The Los Angeles Athletic clubs shell
weighs about 225 pounds and sits much
deeper in the water than does the san
Diego club shell.
The Los Angeles rowing enthusiasts
should not be surprised on the day of
the race if the four competing crews
of the Los Angeles Athletic club get
away" before the local boat does. This
is expected, because OF the tendency TO
drag that the clubs shell has. Once
the inertia is overcome, however, the
Athletic club boys should be able to
keep up to the best boats, as the shell
runs with the greatest ease.
Many of the club members are ar
ranging to get together and charter a
special car TO take them to Naples to
witness the regatta. There is not a
better rowing course in Southern Cali
fornia as regards the spectators point
Of view The Pacific Electric railway
management will arrange special car
service to Naples for those who wish
to witness the race.
Secretary Charles Eyton won the
cribbage tournament of the club which
was terminated last Saturday night.
The results of the games were posted
on the board yesterday morning, and
