Dubost. the president Of the National
Congress. in an apartment adjoining
the voting hall, read from a parchment
the official record of the election, which
was signed by NJ. Dubost and eight sec
retaries.
While this scene was going on the
IDENTITIES and Senators and the spec

great hall were also hearing the an

and the defeat of Jules Pans. Premier
Poincare's strongest opponent.

LOOKING TO SEPT. IS
BOTH CONSTITUTIONALISTS AND

NEAR FUTURE PROMISES GREAT
THINGS.

There has been a remarkable inactivity
among both the c0nstitutionalist and fed
eral camps of MatamOros and Browns
Vile. respectively for nearly two weeks
past. Followers of both these Mexican
political parties are looking forward to
September ID for something decisive, each
side believes that on the morning of Sep
tcmber Ii. the day of Mexican Indepcn-
dcncc, it will Aaye for rejoicing. Both
sides are expecting victory, not defeat,
in whatever happens i'm the conflicts that,
lii j. reported. will take place on either
the 10Th or the 18th.
There has been a report in constant
circulation in Brownsville that former
Mayor Barragan Of Matam0roS has been
made a Colonel in the Mexican federal
army, and that he has left Monterrey
with a force of men for the purpose Of at

Eight Sections to
Fight 1t Out for
Basket Ball HOnorS

The committee handling the Pacific
association basket ball champion
ships has decided to divide the terri
tory up into eight sections in which
the titles will be played for and the
winners of the respective weight
classes will later be brought to-
gether IN series of final contests for
the championships.
The first section will cover San
Francisco county and as far south as
Belmont Santa Cruz county will
form the second section San Jose,
Santa Clara and Palo Alto and the
immediate vicinities of these towns
will be in section three. Contra Costa
and Alameda counties will be the
fourth section and San oJaquin coun-
ty, including Lodi and Stockton, the
fifth
Sacramento, Yolo and Solano coun-
ties will be section six, and seven will
have Sonoma, Marin and Napa coun-
ties Fresno county and lower San
Joaquin will form the last section.
The tournament will start February
1, which is about two weeks earlier
than usual. Another new idea is that
teh teams for the final will probably
be sent in to play the best two out
of three games instead of just one
game as in the past
The committee in charge of the
tournament is composed of Howard
Strickler (chairman), Cecil Martin
and H. Seawright

Murray will have to extend himself to
the limit. He will be attended by a
delegation of Sacramento sports.
Johnny Sodenberg and Tom Nickola
are also down on the list for a return
match. Both are favorites with the
fans, Sodenberg because of his clever
ness and his Willingness and Nickola
because of his ability to deliver a
knockout wallop. They have met a
couple of times and the honors have
been even up, so this contest is for the
rubber.
CHANCE FOR HOLLAND
Fritz Holland, the old time middle
weight, will be given a chance to come
back against Stockyards Tommy MUIR
ply. Fritz is still clever boxer, but
whether he will be able to withstand
Murphys rushes is another question.
Two of the cleverest lightweights in
the local ranks. Tommy Stevens and
frankie Jones, are booked for a re-
turn match. They went four whirl-
wind rounds to draw the last time
they hooked UP.
There is also heavy weight battle
On between Jack Vannuchi and Sailor

meet Jimmy McVeigh at the light
weight limit, Leo Crevier and Eddie

weights, start in the ring warmer.

could meet the scholarship require

could have the satisfaction of winning

there is to know about the boxing end
of 1T and from now on he will devote
most OF his time to taking exercise
which will tend to improve his wind
and his strength.
One thing is certain-win or lose
Murphy is going to give the fans an
exhibition worth while. He can be
counted upon for this. His past record
is guarantee that he will fight for
the championship next Wednesday
evening just as hard as he fought for
lesser honors here in so many battles
and we must admit that Murphy never
made bad start in San Francisco.
CHAMPION LOOKS RIGHT
Ritchie looks right despite the fact
that he laid off for a couple of days
on account of slight attack of indi-
gestion. He weighs slightly over 1877
pounds and he really has not tried
. very hard to take off any weight as
yet. He resumed boxing and road
and gymnasium work yesterday, to
the satisfaction of a large and curious
crowd of onlookers.
The champion is reticent regarding
his plan of battle. He admits that
much will depend upon how Murphy
attacks him. Ritchie is versatile
performer. He can rough 1t with the
other fellow If he sees fit to mix
things up, and he can stand away and
box cleverly and pick his man off with
well placed lefts In this respect he
has ii on his sturdy little rival
1t is likely. indeed, that the Ritchie
boosters will be laying even money
that their champion registers a
knockout. This sort of betting gem
orally prevails when one fighter rules
-
is the case right now. If the Ritchie
men do start this line of wagering
there is little doubt but that they will
be quickly accommodated, for Murphy
has plenty of followers here who be-
lieve he can take everything the
champ has.
From the way the orders for seats
are coming in there will be a great
crowd at the ringside when the little
fellows put up their dukes. The out
of town sports are preparing to in
wade the city, while all the regulars
will be there. The reserved seat sale
opens tomorrow at the usual places.

Mike Gibbons Wants
to Meet Mcfarland

Mike Gibbons in his last bout looked
better than ever. The St. Paul wizard
is eager to try conclusions with
Packey Mcfarland. the Chicago boy,
who has cleaned up everything in the
lightweight division.
To come right down to cases, Packey
Mcfarland could not now make the
lightweight limit any more than could
Jack Johnson. The elusive Packey Is
now close to the 145 pound class, and
it seems that, In as much as he has
had the advantage in all his bouts
with the little fellows, he ought to
concede little to Gibbons and meet
the latter at 145 pounds, weigh in at 3
o'clock. which are the conditions pro-
posed by Mike in his eagerness for a
match with the Mcfarland person.
The public wants to see these two
clever boys pitted against each other,
and it ought to make a slashing good
bout. Come on. Packey, think it over.
You're q big boy now,
