He held three kings and bet his dough.
And watched the jackpot grow and

A smile was on his mush,
He chortled gladly now and then.
But stopped his gladstone chortling

Some piker filled a flush.
He held puny little pair
or Jacks. but thought once moro he'd
dare
To make a try for Il.
He raised the other fellow high.

.D|VINfS AGAINST
THE BIG FIGHT
Oakland Ministers Hope to Se-
cure an Injunction Against
Jeff and Johnson

OAKLAND, March so.-Rev. George
w. White, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, has conferred with District
Attorney Donahue as to the coming
fight at Emeryville between Jefries
and Johnson The clergyman repre-
sented the church federation of Oak
land. and spoke strongly against per-
hitting the fight to be conducted in
Alameda county.
Donahue will confer with attorneys
renresentine the churches and will re-
serve his decision until he has consid-
cred the prize fight question more care
fully. He said today that he was at
present of the opinion that the law
could not stop the fight.
The provision of the penal code that
prohibits prize fighting also permits
spa rring exhibitions to he given by
duly incorporated clubs under certain
conditions if the municipal authorities
are complaisant. These conditions,
which are the existence of an incor-
porated club. a limited number of
rounds, a physician in attendance and
the use of FIVE ounce gloves, would no
doubt be complied with. he said.
The prize fight people seem con-
fident of their position he said. and
that they are within the law, for they
have not even troubled TO consult me
about it,"
Carlos c. White, an attorney of this
city. has taken up the question and
will study the law as to possibility of
an Injunction against the Marathon
athletic club. formed by Tex" Rickard
and other promoters of the fight to
handle it under a municipal license
from the Emeryville trustees.
Rev Mr. White said mo definite
action has been taken as yet other than
that of Monday night by the fedora
tion, which adopted resolutions against
the fight What moves we shall make
are yet to be determined"
The board of police and fire commits
sioners showed evidences of hostility to
frequent fights in the city limits to-
day. when applications from the Oak
land Wheelmen and the Oakland Rail-
road club for permits were laid over
for a week. The Wheelmen asked for
April for their show.
On that date the bouts as scheduled
would include a 15 round mill between
Lew Powell and George Memsic This
would be the first IS round fight ever
held in this city under the new ordf-
nance the longest mills heretofore be-
ing 10 rounds.
The Oakland Railroad club had ob-
tanned virtual permit last week. when
the commissioners continued action un-
I'll today for the selection of a date for
the exhibition. Today the permit was
taken up again. and it was the ques-
tionable status of the Railroad club
which caused the hitch.
Mayor Mott said that the Railroad
club was incorporated only on January
S, hence had not been in existence for
a year, as the ordinance requires. 1t
is also doubted whether 1t is a bona
fide athletic club and only such can OBJ
tain permits The same question was
raised as to the Wheelmen, and their
permit was also held up.
The promoters of the Railroad club
were cited to appear at the next meet
ing of the commission and were eau
toned not to go ahead with fitting up
their arena for the matches they intend
to give.
