CONKLIN WINS IN
BILLIARD TOURNEY
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March &C. f. Conklin
of Chicago defeated Fl. A. (Chick)
Wright of San Francisco tonight in the
second game of the play-off to decide
the triple tie resulting for the amateur
national championship tournament, at
14.2 balk-line billiards. The score was
400 to 313.
Conklin was far the steadier of the
two, especially in the first half of the
contest. He took the lead in the first
inning with a run of II and was never
headed, his best effort being cluster
of Il in the tenth inning. This brought
his score up to 250, an average of 25
and pace greater than Wright could
hold.
The San Francisco man was off stroke
and also played in hard luck.

LACK OF CONDITION
ONE LESSON is ENOUGH FOR
LOCAL LAD
Coffroth and Britt Busy Advertising
Go Next Month-Only Seven
Shows Each Year at New
Jeffries Club
BY J. G. GRIFFIN

VIZ HETHER George Memsic is the
w capable lightweight his friends
touted him as being when he
fought Joe Cans, or whether he is only
a class A pork and beaner who en-
tered the bathrobe ranks because of a
streak of luck will be definitely de-
cided in the near future when the ex-
protege of Tommy Burns hooks up
with Phil Brock. The newcomer is
good enough for any of them, as was
shown in his battle with Kid Dalton,
and if Memsic whips him decisively
there will be a big boost in the local
lao stock.
Previous to the time he hooked up
with Boer Unholz, Memsic was looked
upon as the equal of any white light
weight in the business. But George
grew careless, and with the expecta-
tion of meeting a piece of cheese In
the Boer he failed to train properly.
The result was that Unholz hung it on
him several shades, and Memsic was
out of a job as a championship aspi-
rant.
That one lesson was enough for
Memsic and he comes back to the ring
ready for anything that may happen.
Brock is known as a hustling boy who
can take a punch as well as give one,
and while he has never been looked
upon as a champion, or even a near
champ, he is a battler from the first
bell to the last and can make any of
them step along at a fast gait.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-27

Baron Long, the big secretary of the
Jeffries club, had not heard from Joe
Cans up to late hour last night and
the proposed match between Boer I'm
holz and the champion is still hanging
fire. If Cans does not kick in with a
reply in a day pr two something else
will be arranged, for the dates are pre-
cious and Long does not care to lose
any of them.
According to present plans the new
fight club will stage but seven shows
a year, all to be afternoon entertain-
ments on holidays. The fleet week
program will be in addition to these,
but for the rest of the year there will
be nothing doing at Vernon except on
special occasions.
The location chosen by the new or
ganization makes it readily accessible
to the downtown district. A twelve
minute car service to the arena has
been promised and it may or may not
go through, according to the glowing
hopes of the promoters. Work on the
building viii be started in a few days
and the Jef'ries club will be in line to
bid for the big matches which would
otherwise go to San Francisco with
out opposition.

Men Are Training

The bout between Memsic and Brock
has been staged by Manager McCarey
for April 8, and both men are already
grinding away to fit themselves as
well as possible. Memsic took long
rest at Murietta hot springs, and as
soon as he returned went to San Pedro
to occupy the quarters occupied by
Battling Johnson before the expose.
Dannie Webser and the Young Turk
are helping him out, and George is al
ready rounding to form.
Brock puts in his days at the East
Side club. Not having to worry over
the weight question is a great help to
him and the Cleveland boys devotes all
his time to roughing it with Kid Dali
ton and burning up the roads over by
he mudhole. His work yesterday was
watched by fair sized crowd, which
was apparently we'll pleased with the
way Brock handled himself.
Dannie Webster and Young Kid Nc
Coy will furnish the semi-windup to
the show at the Cabin on the third
Mccoy was something of a fighter be-
fore he met with an accident that put
him on the shelf for a while, and If
he is in anything like old time form
Webster will have to be at his best
to beat the Kid out of a victory.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-27

Jimmy Coffroth and Willis Britt are
busy with the advance literature on
the Britt Mcfarland CO. billed for
San Francisco on the eleventh of next
month. They are both wise old owls
and no doubt can be entertained as to
the amount of money which will flood
the box Office when James Edward and
Pacllie get together.
Coffroth is still playing up the fact
that Britt has drawn more coin than
any other fighter alive, or dead either
(for they say James Edward is in the
mummy class now) and is also issuing
life history of Mcfarland. The fight
with Mcfarland is announced as
Britt's Patti performance, but it's a
cinch that he will not retire if he wins
from the Chicago marvel.
Both Mcfarland and Britt have
started in training and the bout is at
tracing unusual interest in San Fran
cisco. This is due more to the fact
that the sports want to see Mcfarland
against a fighter of prominence than
anything else, but a little thing like
that is not worrying either Coffroth
or the Britts, so long as the coin ar
rives in the strong box with the eagles
still intact.

The Cane Crop.
Planter.

Louisiana
The advent of cool ard dry
weather has been welcome
throughout the sugar district
and it will do much to bring
about maturity in the cane crop
which has. owing to the exces.
sively wet weather during the
summer, given rise to fears as
to the sufficient maturity of the
cane at the opening of the grind
ing season now at hand. While
the hot weather and moisture
which we had in August would
under ordinary circumstances
have brought about a crop of
more than ordinary tonnage
there was such a continuous
lack of sunshine that the develop
ment of the canes was not what
might have been expected. The
crop is a good one but it will
hardly reach record breaking
proportions.

not your own baby. but the tiny

Here are some of those sent in,
the last of which won the prize:
The bachelors horror, the mo-
theirs treasure, and despotic ty-
rant of the most republican
household.
The morning caller, noon day
crawler, midnight brawler.
The only precious possession
that never excites envy.
The latest edition of humanity
of which every couple think
they possess the finest copy.

1.-THE Burgomaster'' at the Tabor.
The Tabor Grand for three weeks
has presented to its patrons musical
comedy, and judging by the crowded
houses is more than meeting with sue
cess. "The Burgomaster" is the
magnet this week, and at the first per-
Torrance standing room only could be
had.
"The Burgomaster," although seen
before in Denver, was never seen be-
fore in the person of Harry Hermsen,
and after Witnessing his inimitable in
depreciation of that character we feel
justified in saying that 1.-THE Burgo-
master" could not have really
been seen until this very week. AS
the ~jovial, jolly Dutch Governor Of
New Amsterdam, who never let's him
self get worried, etc., he proves his
right to the appellation of natural
comedian. He is most ably assisted
by his secretary, Doodle, taken by
Leo Kendall. and these two are q very
strong team OF Dutch comedians,
adjunct to SO many musical comedies,
although foreign to the context of the
play and unnecessary to the progress.
However, these two are in their proper
setting, thereby knitting together
more closely than usual the varied
characters that make up the comedy.
Again is found the dainty, inn
maculately groomed hero portrayed
by an actor of the feminine persua-
sion, Ruth White by name. Her
songs, II Wish I Had q Grip and
"How Many Have You Told That
To" and others were excellent vehicles
for her clear soprano voice and de-
served the many they re-
ceived. Throughout the play Ruth
White appeared only in male attire,
and although she was charming in
the role of Van Astorbilt, it seemed
that she might have just once donned
other clothes in order to satisfy a
little desire on the part of the audi
ence for there is always an unsatis-
fed feeling when the audience does not
get one glimpse of the feminine hero
in her natural habiliments.
However, there were other maidens.
pretty and petite, to sing and dance
their way into favor, to say nothing
of the superior chores. The double
quartet, Dear Old College Days.
was one OF the best bits of music.
while the chorus work had its charac-
t~eristic snap and go.
Due to the setting of the story there
is q chance for artistic effects in the
way of costumes. for in order to take
one back to the days of New Amster-
dam not only we're Dutch effects
necessary to carry out the Illusion,
but also an Indian tribe and q
regiment of soldiers must contribute.
And then New York 200 years later,
with Con ey island for q background
need only be said to give n IN idea
why s'The Burgomaster'' has started

THE MORTGAGE TAX AMEND
MENT.

MENT.
Among the proposed constr
tutional amendments to be voted
on at the general election in
November is one repeating the
tax on mortgages.
Under the present law not only
is property taxed, but mortgages
also. This is a double tax and
results either in extra cost to
the borrower or in restriction
of investments.
There is a large demand for
outside capital in this State for
development. Under the pres
emit law an owner of property
desiring to develop his property,
engage in some inviting line OF
industry. build steam or trolley
railroads or invest money in
improvements or otherwise.
finds himself in the position OF
being taxed both on the new
property created from his in
vestment and on the money ex-
pended in the investment. He
is double taxed and unless the
enterprise promises particular
ly good returns he is debarred
from making the investment.
On the other hand with the
mortgage tax law replealed. it
limits taxation to property alone
and thus an investor having
borrowed money and invested
it has to pay only one tax. This
will encourage investments and
will result in outside capital
coming INFO the State.
It is the circulation of money
that makes business and gives
employment and no State can
afford to have laws that impose
. burden on Investments, for in
doing SO, it not only prevents
the development of its natural
resources, but limits opportuni
ties for work and investment
of it's own citizens.
To some it might appear that
it is unjust to tax the property
Of citizens and yet let an out
slider invest money in the State
get his interest and pay nothing
for the support of the govern
ment that protects him in his
capital and profit. But let us
remember that unless q reason
able return is received capital
will not be invested. consequent
" when capital does go where
the law taxes it. it is not the
owner, but the narrower who
pays. Further, if the borrower
can not afford to pay q double
tar. he does not borrow and
It follows that no new industries
and new enterprise are under
taken, nor does capital come
knocking at our doors for in
vestment. On the other hand
with laws favorable to capital,
it comes into the State, is ex.
pended and as q result more
taxable property is put on the
assessment list and more bust
ness follows the circulation of
this money.
There is lots of room for the
use Of capital is Louisiana and
great need for money to be put
into circulation. and therefore, as
. matter Of business policy the
people should vote for the re-
peal of the mortgage tax law and
thus extend to outside capital
an invitation to come into the
State.
