John A. Kennedy. auto commissioner

ARRANGEMENTS for many weeks TO hold

can not come to terms about the
weight Powell has made liberal
offer to him. He is willing to allow
Mcfarland to weigh in at 1913 pounds
Il hours before the fight, but 1t seems
that Packey wants little better
weight allowance than this. One hum
dred and thirty five pounds at the same
hour are his terms. 1t is well known
that Powell is a legitimate lightweight
and could easily make $50 pounds If he
so desired. To give way to McFarland
would be like tossing the fight on
right there. 1t looks as if the Chicago
boxer is now a legitimate welter
weight.
Lercari seems to be in the old groove.
He is without match and he will have
to show speed If he expects to do some
thing before July has elapsed.

his cOlOrS HIS desire TO meet Johnson
for the heavy weight championship is
not taken seriously any longer since
his poor showing with Papke July 5.
II can be heard all along the line that
Ketchel would be a mark for the big
black What is the use OF pitting a
middle weight against heavy weight
when he has not shown superiority
over the men in his class? The hair
line victory over Papke will never earn
Ketchel any recognition to heavy
weight honors. He must do some real
fighting and down the men in his class
before the fans will begin to believe
again that he has a chance against
Johnson.
FANS FAVOR LANGFORD
The fans are inclined to believe that
Langford would stand a better chance
with Johnson than KetcheL There is
one thing certain-he has performed as
creditably in his division as any other
middle weight, and there is one thing
which he has on the others, and that
is that he bars no man.
The fans want TO see good fight.
They do not care to witness onesided
battles. They make mistakes at times
in figuring them, but in most instances
they are right. A contest between
Ketchel and Langford would figure to
be a more even battle than fight
between Johnson and hetcheL On his
recent performance experts of ring do
ings can not figure Ketchel at all in a
bout with Johnson.
II Papke's showing was anything out
Of the ordinary the public would be
willing 10 say he was a great fighter
and Ketchel was up against a great
man. On The other hand his showing
was below par.
ANOTHER CALL FOR JEFF
It is probable that big jeff will come
to life when he learns of the poor
showing of Ketchel and viii begin to
realize that the task is up to him to
down the big black. Jeff's manager,
Sam Berger. recently announced that he
would soon post his forfeit to fight
Johnson. This would be good news
to the public, for the fans are in a
quandary trying TO think of some white
man outside of jeff who would have a
chance with Johnson
LERCARI WITHOUT A MATCH
Charley Lercari, who holds the pro-
fessional permit for a contest in this
city during July. is still without a
match, according to the last report
heard from Charles. He would pit
Packey Mcfarland against Lew Powell.

meeting Of the board of supervisors
today. at which it was voted to allow
80 days for deer hunting, beginning
July Is, and 50 days open season for
quail. commencing October 10, and last
ing into the middle of December, the
state game and fish commissioners
came in for additional censure at the
hands Of the supervisors. In point of
fact the supervisors seriously consid-
cred passing an ordinance entirely pro-
hibiting the hunting of quail within
the county boundaries, because of the
attitude Of the commission in not
adequately stocking the public domain
with birds while the private clubs were
given the preference.
