PARROT AN INTERESTING PET
Bird Must Be Taken Care OF, But
Well Repays All the Atten-
lions Bestowed.

Parrots, always popular, are now
quite the rage, and any girl ac-
curing one for the first time will
find him a most interesting pet. Mr..
Poll need not screech Or be otherwise
Objectionable to those who do not
admire him, and indeed never will
be noisy unless he is unhappy be-
cause hungry, thirsty, i'll or lonely.
Under any of these conditions We
humans cry out until relieved, and
Polly will do the same. He is a
most sociable fellow and though
sometimes a great talker, he is a
good listener as well, cooking his lit
tie head on one side when conversed
with, and seeming to take it all in in
a most intelligent and often most
comical way. If left too much alone
he gets unhappy and mopes so that
unless YOU understand the cause Won
might think him seriously i'll.
Music in any form he adores and
it will always brighten him when he
is grumpy. Another Of his pc
culiarities is that he dislikes to be
disturbed when asleep, and as, like
humans, he is susceptible to draughts
when slumbering, it is wise as we'll
as kind to cover his cage at night
with q cloth.

Sinking Spells

AT the time | began taking

having sinking spells every few
days. My hands and feet would
get cold; l could scarcely
breathe, and could feel myself
gradually sinking away until |

was life in me. After these
spells l would be very weak and
nervous, sleepless and without

game across the bay yesterday, chat
ting with his friends and willing away
the moments. He has completed his
training and looks good. He did all
his work at Al Whites place adjoining
the transbay ball park 1t was really
the first opportunity Jimmy ever had
of wading in and training like a real
champion
If Carroll can maintain the speed
which he showed for six rounds against
Keller month ago, then he stands d.
grand chance of winning this evening.
On the former occasion Keller nosed
Jimmy out of very close decision
and many of the fans who witnessed
the bout were of the opinion that the
worst the local boy should have had
was a draw.
HOW THEY COMPARE
Keller is more sturdy and stronger
than tiny Jimmy, but the latter has 1t
on him in real cleverness and ring gen
eralship. Some of the fans believe
that Keller is a bit inclined to dog it
when the pace becomes too fast for
him. but If this be true the Britisher
mas not shown any signs of this weak
ness in any of his recent bouts here
or across the bay.
If by any chance either lad scores a
clean knockout or has his man helpless
at the conclusion of the tenth round
then he will stand good chance OF
getting on with Johnny Coulon for the
bantam weight championship of the
world at some future date. Now that
Monte Attell is out of the going. Keller
and Carroll look to be the two best
boys in the baby class.
The ring warmer this evening will
bring together Eddie Dennis and Eddie
Harris. two of the best feather weight
who have been performing in the four
round game during the last year
Dennis is looked upon as the champion
of this particular division, while Harris
is the most likely boy he has yet met

Ting Nelson for some days past, last

is ready to take Hogan on.

If Griff1n's present plans are carried

decision. However. Hogan and his

Although it might appear that Hogan
is biting off quite a chunk. still there
is no denying the fact that he will
have royal chance>>to hold his own
against the champion for 10 or is
rounds Hogan is fast. aggressive and
is possessed of Knockout punch in

BANTAMS
TO MIX IT TONIGHT
Carroll and Keller Fit and Ready fo1
Main Event of Blots Card

The boxing game will be revived this
evening after month of idleness. The
main performers will be Jimmy Car
roll, the local bantam weight and
Sammy Keller, the British midget, who
has been such a sensation here and in
Oakland since he got his start a few
months since. It's not real A. No. 1
championship attraction, but it gives
promise of furnishing the fans with
some of the boxing excitement which
they crave and which they have been
craving ever since the big bloomer at
Reno.
The little fellows are fast and ag-
gress1ve and there is every reason to
believe that they will give a good ac-
count of themselves The result of
this evenings engagement means a
whole lot to them. 1t will be the most
important affair that either has taken
part in. The boy who is returned vic
torius will have his chance to forge
ahead and get something better if the
game comes to its own again, which
many believe it will
The most important feature of the
attraction is the fact that Referee Ed
die Hanlon will give a decision This
Is whole lot in itself. Those so
called mo decision bouts, which have
gone in Los Angeles and gotten by in
New York, are not for San Francisco.
This was clearly shown after the
Moran Burns mixup last month. The
fans did not seem to take to that sort
of game at all. They want the old
style decision to decide their bets.
CAN GO AHEAD, SAYS BLOT
Promoter Louis Blot says that he has
the consent of the authorities to go
ahead with his show and have de-
cision rendered just as decisions have
been rendered in the old days. This
was good enough for him. and he made
his plans accordingly. If this show is
a. success, then they will all get back
to the decision basis and forget all
about the Los Angeles idea
So far the betting goes, it has been
at even money, though there has been
little of it to speak of. The fans don't
care to wager their coin on the little
fellows, who are not possessed of a
knockout wallop. They are of the
opinion that there is too much of
chance for a hair line verdict, and thew
feel that their man may possibly get
the worst of it,
