Fresh Start
Eight Spirited Bouts Please a
Cropd in Drean1land
Pavilion

The amateur boxing game was re-
vived last night at Dreauland rink
under the auspices of the Dreamland
athletic club and eight spirited goes
held the attention of a fair sized crowd
of admirers of the game. Though
there We're no knockouts to enliyen
the evenings entertainment, many
quarts of blood was spilled and every
performer, from couple of 105 pound
ers to the heavy weights who closed
the program, showed the desired speed
and was well received by the multi
tude.
Jack O'Neil, the heavy weight, who
became champion of the Olympic club
a couple of months ago without so
much as pulling on a glove, hung an
other victory on his belt by receiving
the decision over a soldier, Dan Will
son by name Though ONeil was off,
cially declared the victor after a fourth
round had been ordered by the judges,
Matt Harris of the Olympic club and
Bert Kerrigan of the Reliance club,
the crowd voted the soldier the better
man. He did most of the leading,
while O'Neil was busy stalling. Nei-
ther showed much class, though the
soldier secured a knockdown in the
third round.
Eddie Campi, a spider-like youth, de-
feated Spider Roche in the fastest
mill of the evening, The boys came
in at los pounds and the mill was
full of fight all the time. Campi evil
IDENTIFY had a fair lead at the end of
the third round. but the Judges called
for an extra period.
Bull Fairbanks was outpointed by
Bob Nelson in the lao pound class after
he had had a decided lead for more
than two rounds Nelson had a wal
lop and succeeded in wearing down his
man. Fairbanks was not in condi-
tion.
The other bouts resulted as follows:
Soldier Frank Huber outpointed George
Gilmore in four rounds; Soldier Jack
Hilton outpointed Al Sutor In four
rounds; Ed Marion outpointed Gus
Miller in four rounds; Joe Leonard
won from Frank Kass in one round;
Tom Mcfarland outpointed Joe Cas-
tiglios in three rounds.

RAILROAD FAVORS
BIG GRAIN FIRMS
West Side Competition Crushed
by Southern Pacific's
Rebates

How big grain buyers ana Shippers
were enabled to crush all competition
through rebates granted by the South
testimony yesterday in the investiga-
tion before the state board of railroad
commissioners.
Witnesses examined yesterday were
r. Vollmer of Vollmer & Perry, grain
buyers; w. C. Barnard OF Barnard &
Rucker, grain buyers; E. w. Ferguson
of Moore, Ferguson & Co., grain
buyers; E. c. Horst, grain buyer; A.
Levi. merchant of Newman. CAL; J.
Blum, manager of the Jules Cain COM
pany of Newman, CAL; William NJ. Tay
lor, miller of Durham, CAL; w. A. Nc
Donald, merchant of San Jose: E. T.
Reynolds, miller of Chico, and A. E.
Sunderland, fruit packer of Fresno.
The grain buyers testified to efforts
to break into the territory in the San
Joaquin valley known as the West
Side" and related how they had been
always outbid in their efforts to ex-
tend their purchases by the firms of
Simon Newman & Co. and Miller &
Lux. Attorney General Webb read from
a schedule before him showing that
cipients from the Southern Pacific of
refunds on freight shipments amount
ing to an average of 10 per cent.
Assistant Attorney General Benjamin
next took UP the examination of A.
Levi and J. Blum, merchants of New
man, Cal. He drew from them that
their principal competitor in Newman
was Simon Newman & Co, and then
Benjamin again read from his schedule
that Newman & Co. had been granted a
special rate of one-half on all merchan-
disc from San Francisco, Stockton and
all bay points.
NO JUSTIFICATION
In the cross examination of the wit
ness Attorney Peter F. Dunno endeav-
ored to justify this rebate by bringing
out that it had been reflected in lower
prices to the consumer; but he was
suddenly brought sharply to task by
Railroad Commissioner Loveland, who
leaned from his chair and informed
the Southern Pacific attorney that that
was hardly a fair inference nor justifi-
cation of the refund. He then elabor-
ated his point by questions directed to
the witness.
The revelation of the bad faith tac-
tics of the Southern Pacific legal de-
partment came during the examination
of William M. Taylor miller of
Durham. Cal. Inside rates ranging In
percentages of discount from 10 per
cent to nearly 40 per cent granted the

Big Jack Johnson. the colored heavy
weight is doing the best he can to
get on with Tommy Burns in this city
for the heavy weight championship OF
the world but from present indica-
lions the dreams of the husky negro
will end in naught save a cloud OF
smoke. Johnsons Willingness to mix 1t
with Burns is shown in letter which
Promoter jim Coffroth received last
night from Sam Fitzpatrick, the blacks
manager.
Under date Of April Is Fitzpatrick
wrote from New York relative to his
troubles. He said that he and Billy
Neil, manager Of the champion, came
together in New York on that day and
were getting along very nicely with
their arrangements when the question
Of q purse came up. Then Neil made
it distinctly understood that Burns
would not entertain any proposition to
fight the negro unless he were guar
anteed $4,000 as his bit of the purse,
win, lose or draw.
Naturally, Fitzpatrick passed this
up, as he did not expect that his man
would be willing to fight for a shoe
string. Neil said further that Burns
would not think of lighting before De-
cember or perhaps later.
Johnson says that he wants to get
on before Coffroth's club in a IS round
mixup with Burns. but sees little hope
Of realizing his desire. Fitzpatrick
asked cohroth TO use his influence to
make the match for the coming fourth
Of July, but the chances are that the
men viii be as far apart by that time
as they are now. johnson offers to
bet $4,000 that he can stop Burns in
20 rounds.
