KILLS OTIS LAW
AGAINST BETTING
SUPREME COURT DISCOVERS
A FATAL FLAW
Decision Holds Second Clause of Act
Repeats the First and Releases
Bookmaker Whose Case
Was a Test

SAN FRANCISCO, March Pa decision
written by Justice Lucien Shaw of the su-
preme court and handed down today declares
that the second clause of the Otis-Walker
anti-betting law is 'irreconcilably inconsist-
ent with the preceding clause and as such
operates as a repeal of the first clause
The decision ordered the reelase on writ
of habeas corpus of W. W. Roberts, who was
arrested recently at Emeryvile for acting as
a stakeholder for a bet on horse race.
Referring to the first clause, the decision
says: LAS plainly as words can declare 1t for
bids every person from receiving money bet
wagered by or for any other person upon
the result Of a horse race or upon any con-
tingent or unknown event 1t may require
some stretch of credulty to believe that the
legislature could have enacted a penal law
making an act which may be so trivial a
felony, but when reading of that act dis
closes that it has been enacted there can be
no misunderstanding of its meaning or ef-
feet II 1t stands alone and without qualih-
cation"
The decision then recites that both ele-
ments Of crime must exist, and that since
Roberts did not own, lease or operate place
for accepting such Wagers as he was accused
Of taking, as provided for by the second
clause of the Walker-Otis act he could not be
guilty of the offense charged. The statement
that the second clause is irreconcilably in
consistent with the first was given as the
point of the decision. Shaw's Interpretation
Of the law was concurred in by Justices An
gellott and Sloss.
In a concurring decision written by Justice
+. W Henshaw and eoncurred in by Justice
Lorlgan the same conclusion is reached, but
based on the decisions of the New York
courts sustaining oral betting in that state.
Henshaw summed up his opinion follows:
AS the law does not denounce the laying
OF a wager it would be preposterous to say
it denounced as criminal one who became a
depositary OF such wagers"
The release of Roberts and the return OF his
bonds were ordered by the court.

BIG FIGHT WILL

FEAR THAT LIQUOR MIGHT

Arrangements Completed for Special
Railroad Rates from Chicago

Fight Fans
Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, March 29.-The arena at
Emeryvilie, where the Jeffries-Johnson
fight is to take place on July 4, will be
dry" on that day, according to James
Gleason, one of the promoters, who is
in Chicago.
Even if / were offered $4,000 in cash
for the bar privilege at the arena, l
would not consider the proposition,
said Gleason.
Il am afraid that if intoxicants were
sold at the ringside, a race riot might
be started by the followers of FERRIES
and Johnson. The fans will have to go
thirsty during the battle, for there will
be no drinks served
Final arrangements for handling
tickets for the fight in Chicago and
surrounding territory were completed
Yesterday by Gleason, who closed ne
gotiations with the railroad officials.
He said he was assured of a $3.50
round trip rate, and the purchaser will
be able to secure tickets for the fight
while purchasing transportation.
Gleason will leave tomorrow for New
York.

BARRY WINS IN
TERRIFIC FIGHT
Chicago Scrapper Almost Stops Sail
mas Boy in Final Round with
Four Knock
downs
Associated Pressl


DREAMLAND RINK. SAN FRAN
CISCO, March 29.-After battling nine
teen vicious and bloody rounds, and APP
parently enjoying a slight lead over his
opponent, Jack Burns of Salinas, Cal,
tonight lost the fight in the twentieth
and final round of his battle with Jim
Barry at Dreamland rink. Burns took
the count four times in this round and
was saved from a knockout by the bell.
For short-ender Burns made a re-
markable showing, and up to the nine
teenth it looked as if he might earn
the decision. AS early as the second
round Burns brought blood streaming
from the Chicagoans left eye, ter
rifle rght-hand punch opening the cash
an inch wide. The blood from this cut
flowed ceaselessly during the entire
combat, Burns Frequently making it a
target for left and right punches.
Burns also devoted much of his at
tacks to Barrys kidneys, landing often
with solid right clouts. The tide of
battle ebbed and flowed without deci-
sive advantage for either man until the
nineteenth. Angered by the constant
right-hand smashes that Burns landed
on his jaw and eye in the eighteenth,
Barry opened up the following round
with a do-or-die expression. lie caught
the lanky Salinas man mapping and
landed several full-arm right and Jeff
swings that caught his antagonist flush
on the jaw. This was the turning
point. A few more blows of this kind
applied similarly forced Burns to hang
on, and when the round ended he was
plainly in sore straits.
The twentieth and last round opened
with both men full of fight. Barry
started his opponents downfall with a
terrific left hook that landed flush on
the chin, and the latter went to the
mat for the count of nine. He came
up very groggy, and it was but child's
play for the Chicagoan to topple him
over again. Burns was clinging des-
perately to Barry's legs when the
round and fight terminated, thus de-
priving Barry of a clean knockout.
Referee Jack Welsh promptly
awarded the decision to Barry.
Both mems faces presented a badly
battered appearance at the end of the
contest, and Barrys left eye was COM
pletely closed.
He gave me a tough argument"
said Barry after the fight. II feel fine,
however, and this battle will in no
way deter me from fighting Sam Lang
ford at Los Angeles next month";
Barry was favorite at odds of to 1,
and there was betting that he would
whip Burns inside of eighteen rounds.
