FIGHT GAME GETS
BOOST IN FRISCO
Profits for Summer Months Exceed
Expectations Authori-
ties May Intervene.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Sept. %
Profits made by the boxing clubs here
exceed all expectations for the hot sea-
son.
The gate for the Atten-M Moran and
Gans-Nelson bouts. both at Jimmy
COTrOth's arena. exceeded $4,000 bv a
considerable margin. When it is con-
sidered that San Francisco has not vet
fully recovered from the earthquake
and fire. and that the city itself is small
compared 10 other boxing centers. the
element Of the population interested in
the game can be decided.
The largest gate receipts ever re-
ceived in Chicago were at the Mccoy
Ryan fight. the sum exceeding S22.O 600 by
a slight margin. The fake fight be-
tween Cans and Terry McGOVern
drew only about 81 900 less So The re-
port that the supervisors are planning
TO shut down more strictly on the game
here is exceedingly unpopular. as a
larger proportion of the population turns
out TO see the sport.

Extravagant Hats.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The size and extravaganza of women's
hats are being made a butt for the de-
rision of the male scoffer; but he forgets
that in the past he sometimes paid fifty
guineas for his peruke which in Charles
IFS reign assumed the proportions OF
the matinee hat of today, and was so
masnificent that when in full dress the
wearer had to carry his great Spanish
hat. with long feathers. under his arm.
Dryden was the scoffer In those days,
and he chose the court beau for his butt
when he wrote the lines:
His various modes from various fathers
flow;
One taught the toss, and one the new
French wallow;
His sword-knot this, hts cravat that de-
signed;
And this the yard-long snake that tw1rls
behind.
From one the sacred periwig he gained.
Which wind ne'er' blew, nor touch Of hat
profaned: 4
Another's diving bow he did adore. -. !
