JEM MACE, PRIZE RING
HERO, DIES OF Old ACE

LONDON, Nov. 3o.-.Jem'
Mace, the hero of many prize
fights, died at Harrow on-Tyne
of old age today He was in his
seyenty-ninth year
Mace was at one time worth
more than $l,000,000, but of re-
cent years he has been depend
ent on friends. Occasionally he
had appeared in music hall ex-
hibitions.
~Jem" Mace was born at
Beeston, in Norfolk, and in his
day was one of the greatest box
ers. His first great fight was
with Bill Thorpe, whom he beat
in Is rounds.
When Tom Sayers retired
from the championship in 1860,
Mace was regarded as his le-
gltlmate successor, but his SUI
premacy was soon challenged by
Tom King. They met in Jan
uary, 1862. when, after 43
rounds, Mace was given the
verdict. For the next 10 years
he was practically invincible.

SIX round Limit
ON OAKLAND BOUTS
Police Commission Prohibits
Boxing Contests of Longer
Duration Across Bay

OAKLAND. Nov. 3o-That boxing
bouts in this city will be limited to
six rounds for each contest was the
ultimatum of the board of police and
fire commissioners this morning. The
board merely reaffirmed a resolution
adopted several months ago, declaring
that the police authorities would not
permit any boxing exhibition which in
any way violated the state law
During the discussion, Mayor Mott
announced that one of the local clubs
giving monthly exhibitions with per-
mission of the board had advertised
10 round encounter. He said he called
the heads of the club to- account for
this dereliction, and was informed by
them that no bout on the card would
be over Six rounds.
The Oakland church federation has
again taken a stand against prizefights
by the adoption of this resolution:
Whereas, the laws of this state abb
solutely prohibit prizefghts, and
Whereas, Notwithstanding the firm
stand taken by the chief executive of
the state during the past year, profess
sional prizefight promoters, both in
this county and San Francisco, are en-
deavoring to revive such unlawful ex-
hibitions, and
Whereas, the fight held in San Fran
cisco on Saturday, November &c, 1910,
between two professional fighters. was
as shown by the newspaper reports
clearly a prizefght, and
Whereas, the chief executive, in his
letter of June, 1910, to the attorney
general of this state, has carefully
called the law of this state to the at
tention of the persons affected there
by
Now, therefore, the Oakland
church federation respectfully calls
upon the local officers of this city. this
county and of the city and county of
San Francisco, to initiate such pro-
ceedings in their respective districts
as will result in the enforcement OF
section 412 of the penal code of this
state; and
Resolved, that a copy of this resolu-
ton be sent TO the district attorney
of the city and county of San Fran
cisco. the district attorney of this
county, the mayor of this city, and the

district attorney is concerned, he can
not see where the law was fractured.

the Nelson Moran bout, it was a clever

the title from Nelson last February. 1t
IS safe 10 say that he has not earned
$4,000 since that time. Surely a real
champion can not very well pay his
bills and support manager on that in
come. Financial distress if nothing
else should drive Wolgast into the ring
shortly.
That the interest among the heavy
weights was killed off locally by the
Jeffries-Johnson bloomer is shown in
the case Of Al Kaufman. The big
Californian is looked upon as the only
logical man to send in against the
champion, yet he is not even declaring
himself in his native city. He seems
to realize that there is nothing left for
heavy weight hero.
Although Kaufman was looked upon
as a great card here six months ago,
he has been forced to sign up for
matches down in New Orleans The
southern city never was the boxing
town that San Francisco is and prob
ably never viii be, yet it seems to be
the only place open to the man who
some day hopes to wear the heavy

Richie L bel Bout
Looks Inviting

The next boxing dish for the local
fans is the series of seven four round
bouts which Eddie Powers of the
Golden Gate club will stage at Dream
land next Friday night The card is
very inviting one, the three big events
giving promise of plenty of action for
those who like to sit near the ringside
or in the gallery and watch the jabs
and swings.
Willie Ritchie, the cleverest of the
local lightweights, will meet Abe Attell,
the veteran four round performer. On
general form, Ritchie should get away
With Label, but as they went four
fast rounds the last time. and Ritchie
barely won the decision there is a good
chance of his opponent coming back
and evening up the score with his old
rival this time. Label is a slugger with
good punch, and he is always danger
Gus. Ritchle is by far the better boxer
and ring general. and has a bright ring
future if he gets by this one.
The mixup between Eddie Dennis and
Waiter Scott, which is carded as the
special event, looks to be as good on
paper as the main attraction. These
boys. looked upon as the best of the
local feather weights. have not yet
been able to settle the difference that
exists between them. Both are great
defensive performers, with fast left
hands, though up to the present time
neither has won any spurs as a real
knocker out
Big Charlie Miller will endeavor to
try out one Jim Williams, the ''un-
known heavy weight" in the next mill.

apparently very willing; but this is all
they know about him. If he makes
good against Miller he may join the

strangest Church

From Strand Magazine
 One of the most extraordinary and fan tastic Christian places of worship in the world Is the Cathedral of Moscow, strange not only in outline and concep- ton, but even stranger in it's history. No one knows the architects name. but the story goes that the Czar ordered his eyes to be put out directly the church was completed so that he should never be able to surpass his work. The idea of the building was inspired by the wick edest and maddest monarch who ever Sat on a throne-Ivan the Terrible, Czar of Musoovy
 The church is known as vasili- Blajen- nj or Blessed Basil, and is named after a half-witted vagrant monk, who for scnie strange reason was almost the only person in the empire that the Czar feared. Although every one else trem- bled before Ivan, yasili Baljenni would flout him. call him '1vashka" or Bad Little Ivan," and, most daring thing of all, would try to protect the victims of the Czar's fury. He and another friar of the same caliber, named Ivan the Idiot, are buried in two memorial chap els beneath the cathedral
 This uncanny looking edifice has been iuridly descvribed by a well-known writer. ''It is striking memorial of fearful era Standing in the shadow of the Kremlin wall on soil saturated fathoms deep with the blood of innocent martys examine the building closely and call to memory the people by whom and for whom 1t was produced.
