CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO Me.

Talking about Creole jealousy"
said the observant man, Il saw a
snecimen of Chicago jealousy the
other night that had it beaten to a
frazzle. A handsome fellow was at
dinner with two girls, wheS a young
woman came in, caught corner of
the tablecloth, and yanked the whole
tableful of dishes and dinner off onto
the floor, then walked out of the
room.
What did the man do? Followed
her and made friends with her again.
She was his fiancee. He gave her a
$4OO diamond ring afterward, they
said. If she had been his wife he
would in all probability have beaten
her instead of giving her present.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Horse racing
interests in this state, which have been
adversely affected by the police appli-
cation of the new anti-gambling law
at the race tracks, were greatly en-
couraged by a decision of Justice
Bischoff today that an individual
verbal bet does not constitute crime.
his decision was handed down in the
case of Melville Collins, who was ar
rested at the instance of the Jockey
club and charged with having violated
the new law by making a bet on a
horse race, and receiving So which he
won by it. This case was intended by
the Jockey club as test to obtain a
judicial Interpretation of the laws
passed by the last legislature at the
urgent request of Governor Hughes.
The racing interests regard the dec1s-
ion as a distinct victory and as certain
to lessen the rigors of the police appli-
cation of the law.
Acting District Attorney Elder of
Kings county declares the case will be
appealed. He will proceed along the
same lines as before the decision was
given. The instructions previously Civ
en- to the police were to arrest every
body seen making bet.

Melville Long and Sutton Sisters to
Play In Three-Day Event at Hotel
Potter, Santa Barbara,
This Month

Unique announcements of the Santa
II and Is will be issued this week in
the form of cardboard tennis racquet
folded and containing information in
regard to the tournament. This is the
fifth annual tournament given at Hotel
Potter and is to be held in July this
year for the first time. August pre-
viously has been the great tennis
month in the Channel city.
The tournament will open with the
mems singles in the morning and the
women's singles in the afternoon. The
mems and women's mixed doubles will
be played Friday, July II, and all the
championship finals are to conclude the
meet Saturday, July is. Entries will
close July IA and may be made with
A. C. Way at the First National bank
and with S. M. Sinsabaugh in Los
Angeles, or with Harlow c. Frink in
Santa Barbara.
Melville Long the University of Cali

challenge cup for singles last season
and again will play. Miss Florence
Sutton won the women's challenge
trophy, her sister, Miss May Sutton,
not being on hand to defend it. AS
she has declared that she will not play
in the singles until the Del Monte
tournament in September the probable
tiles are that the women's trophy will
be the subject of some fierce compe-
tition this year, with it's final owner
ship in doubt First and second prizes
will BE- awarded in all the events.

The fight card that will be staged
tonight at McCareys pavilion consists
of six bouts of six rounds each, and at
least two of these bouts are of eXcep-
tional merit and attractiveness.
Neither of this pair of bouts can lay
claim to the post of honor as the main
event, as each is equal in all things
to the other. Danny Webster and
Tommy Hennesssey will be in the
windup of the card, and Immediately
preceding this bout will be the session
between Frank Picato, the original
knockout kid, and Jack Kennedy, VINO
has hopes Of being able to puncture
the remarkably clean record of Picato
Taken as a whole, it is no extrava-
gance of thought to imagine the title
of knockout CARD for the bill tonight
as all the boys engaged are of that type
of sluggers that sail in at the first tap
of the gong and maui away, without
regard to anything clever, sc1entlnc or
artistic, and are accustomed to belng
the winner or loser in a Knockout de-
cision No more attractive card, from
the viewpoint of the fan who dotes on
smuggling and action all the time, could
have been arranged.
The first four bouts >on the program
will serve to introduce fighters who
practically are unknown to local fans
a few of them being recent recruits TO
the fight game, while the others are
recent arrivals in Los Angeles. Most
prominent of the recent arrivals Is a
youngster who halls from Philadelphia
and who is burdened with a ring name
that would be a knockout drop for the
average fighter to tote. He is known
as the Young Harlem Coffee Cooler,
and is as black as midnight itself.
In the final two bouts real stars will
shine. Danny Webster will give game

cisco another chance to make good IN

is consistently made up of knockout
victories over all opponents and in less
time than it takes to record the fact,

card.
1t is admitted that there is good class
in the Webster Hennessey bout. Both
boys are game all the way through,
and are willing fighters. They are of
the type that spells action in every
second they are in the ring, and the
six rounds are sufficient for the affair
to end in a decisive result. Hennessey
put up a great fight against Webster
in their previous meeting until Web
ster copied him with one of his wild
haymakers. Tommy will try to avoid
this sweeping wallop tonight and hopes
to reverse the former result.
Piclto has had one fight this week,
tapping an opponent, named Jimmy
Davis, into Sunderland at San Pedro
last Wednesday night. He did it with
the same dispatch and whirlwind eff
feet that has characterized all his
fights since he entered the ring. Ken

fight and whose desire to climb the

The first bout will be called at S:15

between bouts. Tommy Walsh and

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson, who will
Mission arena, San Mateo county, in a
scheduled 45-round boxing contest for
the worlds lightweight championship,
practically have finished training. The
pugilists are within easy striking dis
lance of the weight requirements,
which call for 1873 pounds at the ring
side, stripped, and only work of the
lightest kind will feature the closing
days in the rival camps.
Cans method of training for the fight
differed to a great extent from those
for the various previous contests in
which the champion has figured. He
has confined his operations almost en-
tirely to road work and gymnasium ex-
ercises of the simplest nature. Boxing
has been eliminated entirely from his
routine. By adopting this course Cans
has had in mind the accumulation of
strength and perfection of wind in an
ticipation of prolonged struggle.
1T would be wasting valuable time
for me to indulge in useless boxing
stunts, as there are other methods by
which the Dane must be subdued," the
champion laughingly said. Everyone
knows that 1 do not require practice in
order to outlook Nelson"
Nelson, on the other hand, has paid
particular attention to the boxing part
of his work. The Battler has devoted
himself increasingly to a severe system
of conditioning, and appears to be in
as good condition as when he last met
the champion at Goldfield.
Jack WEIGH, the referee, visited the
different training quarters and per-
sonally interpreted the rules to each
of the principals.
There is a clause in the articles OF
agreements which states 1 am not to
put my hands on either contestant
during the fight" said WEIGH to the
fighters. "As to this, however, / shall
use my own Judgment. If both of the
men hold as they did in Goldfield, and
they refuse to break at command,
will use force, if necessary. You are
going to fight under Marc $ OF
Queensberry rules, and not London
prize ring methods"
The sale of tickets opened this morn
ing and at once there was rush for
the choicest seats. Betting has been
very light to date, and there is little OF
the Nelson end being offered. Cans is
favorite at odds of to 1, and even
money is being wagered that the coll
ored champion will win within twenty
five rounds. The contest is scheduled
to commence at 1880 p. m. and Wall be
preceded by two six-round bouts
