The public have been informed that
the Traction Company will not favor
81 the Franchise Committee
Of the City Council, unless the terms
and stipulations are acceptable, which
practically means that the Traction
Company will insist on having its own
as in the past, and if ii can not
& its way, it will not construct the
esed electric railway over the Fair
line.
would seem that after the over
helfning rebuke by the people at the
cent referendum election, the Traction
Company should have realized some ex-
pegience, but it is still unsatished and,
apDarently, as defiant as in the past.
Il viii not be gainsaid that much of
tie feeling aroused could have been
soided by some substantial concession
the people For instance, The grant
general transfers, as prevail in New
Orleans, but for some reason which few
any sensible, practical, progressive
sizen can understand, this is withheld
and resisted desperately.
It is the record, as given by those who
claim to know, that general system Of
nsfefs encourages travel and in
the traffic in passengers, but in
Shreveport the opposite view has been
advanced and is maintained with a per-
sistency most remarkable and extraor-
binary.

and its friends are appealing to friend

HOGAN-LaGRAVE
BOUT IS BARRED
District Attorney and Chief of
Police Prohibit Holding of
Star Attraction

The fight fans on both sides of the
bay will regret to learn that the long
heralded four round contest between
One Round Jack Hogan and Antoine La
Grave will not be staged at Dreamland
this evening. District Attorney Fickert
and Chief of Police Seymour so in
formed Promoter Eddie Powers last
night Up to a late hour Powers was
still hopeful of staging the contest.
though from all appearances his chances
are none too bright.
The district attorney and chief of po-
lice are ruling against this contest only.
They have no intention of stopping the
other six on the program, and Powers
will go through with these in accord
ance with his previous plans. However,
the bottom will practically drop out of
the card with the Hogan La Grave bout
eliminated. This was the attraction,
the one which everybody wanted to see,
the one which the followers of the sport
hoped in measure to revive the box
ing game with.
Il am sorry that the district attorney
and the chief of police ruled against me
at the eleventh hour" said Powers last
night "I was given to understand that
/ would be allowed to go ahead with
my show Just as the rest of them have
been doing all year. / was not adyer
tising an amateur performance. My per-
init called for a semiprofessional ex-
hibition, and I billed my card SUCH.
This Hogan-La Grave contest can
not go on said Seymour. so far as
can understand both men are profess
sionals, and 1 will not permit them TO
box for this reason. The balance of the
card will not be interfered with. This
is final"
It really does seem a bit strange that
particular show, for the reason that the
off every week or so during the entire
a Jimmy Carroll and Monte Attell who
tests for the last six or seven years,
have been permitted to take part in the
four round contests.
II is understood that the order to stop
the Hogan La Grave mixup came di-
rectly from the district attorneys Of
flee. What influence was brought to
bear upon Flickert was not made pub
lie. but evidently some one must have
started the crusade
Last nights blow practically sounds
the kaell for the four round game in
San Francisco. The authorities can not
very well allow some one promoter to
put on a pair of headliners after turn
ing Powers down with his show. Unless
a pair of stars can be secured there is
no money in the game, and it goes
without saying that none of the pro-
noters will care much about staging
contests on a losing basis.

BERKELEY. Oct 1S-Twenty one
PLAYERS. the remainder of the freshman
SQUAD after it had been reduced a
number of times by the dropping of
the different candidates by the coaches
accompanied by Coach Schaeffer and
Assistant Coach Cert, took trip down
TO stanford yesterday in order to hold
light practice on the field which IS TO
he tl1e scene of the intercollegiate
freshman contest next Saturday. The
turf was wet and soft. but the players
were given an opportunity to try out
the new field and Coach Schaeffer put
the baby team through number or
fast plays in order to get them used
tn the conditions of the field.
The turf field at Stanford is consid-
erably faster than the dirt field at the
Irniversity of California and California
teams are benefited good deal by
the change. The freshmen showed lots
of speed on the turf and should be
able to do some very fast playing II
the field is at all dry on Saturday.
Another thing which will help to
make the team faster will be the
change from the long trousers used in
practice to the short white knickers
used in the game.
An unusually large number of root
ers will accompany the team. Yell
Leader John D. Hartigan and Assistant

Both Broke Hands

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.--It has devel-
oped that both Ad wolgast, light
weight champion. and Tommy McFar-
land of California fought the greater
part of their battle at Fond du Lac
with broken hands
Before the end of the 10 round con
test the champion complained of pain
in his arm. which was broken in his
contest with Jack Redmond few
months ago. Wolgast. after the con-
test, declared that he would be unable
to fight again for five months. possibly
more, on account of the injured arm
On the other hand, Mcfarland, who
took the match on two days notice
because. Tommy Gary was unable to
fight through sickness, jumped into
the fray and fought the full 10 rounds.
When lie left the ring he did not say
anything about his left hand. which
had been fractured just below the
wrist. Next day the hand was swollen
to twice its natural size. He had the
bone set and the hand and forearm
placed in a cast. It still is in the
cast and will be for several days.
