Middle Weights Look
Fit to Put Up Fast
Bout Friday Night

Johnny Sodenberg and Kid Krantz.
the middle weights who are to fur
nish the main event of next Friday
nights boxing show at the Pavilion
rink, look to be in good shape, and II
they run true to form the fans are
sure to witness a lively encounter.
The betting is at even money. for the
fans can not see where either fighter
has much of an advantage
This battle will mark the first ap-
pearance of Krantz in local ring In
several years. He comes from Seattle
and when he started out he looked
like lively contender for the middle
weight title. Then he fell off a bit in
his work. but his recent fights show
that he is in line for comeback. so
his bout with Sodenberg will be eager
ly watched by his admirers.
Bob Zieman, the Chicago feather
weight, will make his local bow
against Jimmy Fox, known to all the
fans. Zieman looks like a shifty lit
tie fellow, and is said be a knocker
out. but like the rest of them he will
have TO show the local fans. Fox is
a bear of a boxer, and a great de-
fensive fighter. but he is a bit shy on
the old wallop.
Eddie Miller regarded as the king
of local bantams, will endeavor to
polish off Willie Mack in jig time.
The latter is also some speed marvel,
and they believe that he stands a
good chance against Miller.

ply VS.. Sailor Wilson, welters: Paul

inlaw, Leslie E. Burks. attorney and
secretary of the San Francisco Real
Estate Board. at 1905 Terrace street.
Oakland, with a bad case of muscular
rheumatism In her wrists and hands

improved as result of using Akoz.
the great natural medicinal mineral
discovered by John D. Mackenzie.
When Mrs. MacCabe was East last
winter she contracted arthritis in her
knees and underwent an operation on
her return. The operation left her
knees very stiff. and she also con-
tracted rheumatism in her hands and
wrists. After using Akoz for a few
weeks she is practically free of rheu-
matism, and the stiffness in her knees
Is disappearing to such an extent that
she believes she will soon be fully re-
stored to her health.
Il want to tell you OF the great re-
lief Akoz gave me in bad case of
muscular rheumatism" writes Mrs.
MacCabe to the Natura Company My
wrists and hands were badly swollen,

NEW ROWING
COACH A I
BERKELEY
Charlie Stephenson, Late of
Harvard, Hopes to Turn Out
Winning Crew

The University of California oars
men are determined to make a better
showing in the shells this year than
they have done for the last few years,
and with this in view have brought
out Charlie Stephenson, who up to last
year was assistant rowing coach at
Harvard university Stephenson ar
rived at Berkeley yesterday and will
start his duties as coach next Mon
day
Stephenson yesterday looked over the
rowing machines in the gymnasium
and has ordered alterations in them
which will be of material assistance
to the men, The next coach is anxious
to get the fall training started, and as
soon as the machines are altered to
suit his ideas he will issue call for
the men to report
AT the present time the California
crew is minus a boathouse, but it is
expected that a suitable one will be
secured on the estuary before Christ
mas Right after the Christmas holt
days regular work in the shells will
be started by both freshman and var
sity aspirants.
1t looks as though there will be a
big squad out for rowing this year,
and from what can be gathered the
fleet of six eight cared boats will all
be used for training purposes.

Talk of American
Association Team
Invading Cleveland

From Cleveland comes rumor that
the American league men will discuss
proposition from the American as
sociation to place the clubs in Cleve-
land and Pittsburg for the purpose of
killing of the Federals in those cities.
1t is understood that the American
association men are anxious to use
Forbes field in the Smoky City and
the Maps park in Cleveland, with the
consent of Owners Dreyfus and Som
ers, respectively. But If such a plan
should be permitted, the American
association would have to increase its
circuit to 10 clubs. an arrangement
both unwieldy and Improbable. There
is no doubt. however. that the big
league men are figuring on a way to
provide continuous baseball not only
in Cleveland and Pittsburg, but also
In Cincinnati, Detroit, Washington
and Brooklyn, with the idea of keep
ing out opposition by outlaw pro-
moters, but just how they can ac-
complish this is a puzzle.

BETWEEN
HOPES
Pelkey and Willard Put On a
Little Theatrical Stuff
in Chicago

CHICAGO. Nov 12-Arthur Pelky
and Jess Willard came mighty near
staging a championship heavy weight
bout in Chicago yesterday. They were
stripped and ready for the ring when
Nate Lewis interfered and called a
halt.
1t would have been a grudge fight,
and redhot one. without purse and
without publicity, If Lewis had per-
mitted the men to go on.
The ambition of both to secure the
crown relinquished by Tommy Burns
when he was licked by Jack Johnson
led to the threatened encounter. Will
lard was working for his bout with
Rodel in Milwaukee on Monday. He
was training at Lewis gymnasium,
when Pelky went UP to see him in ac-
tion.
Pelkey was accompanied by Tommy
Burns, his manager, and the two re-
ceived an ovation from the fight fans.
Burns responded with a speech, in
which he said he hoped that Pelky
would regain the crown he lost.
Tom Jones, the manager of Willard,
said that his man would have to be
disposed of first. Burns retorted that
Pelky could do that without trouble.
One word led to another, and the
fighters participated.
Then challenge was hurled. ac-
cepted, and the two prepared to do
battle. They were stripped and ready
to go into the ring when Lewis said
he was afraid the meeting would re-
suit in so much publicity that he
might become a member of the 'in
bad club and refused to allow it to
go on.

Athletics of 1870
Wore Street Togs
When Thev PLAYED

The present baseball champions of
the world and environs are unques-
tionably the greatest club that ever
represented Philadelphia. but they are
not the first to bear the name of Ath-
letfcs in the Quaker City. Back in
the dim ages of the pastime. when
Connie Mack was a very small boy.
there was a team known as the Ath-
letics in Philadelphia. They played
in citizens clothes.
They played frequently with the
Atlantics of Brooklyn, and one season
met with only two defeats. They be-
came professionals in 1870. and the
next year were entered in the Ma
tional association, the pioneer of pro-
fessional leagues. They won the pen
nant their first year in the associa-
tion.

TRACK ME- N
St ART On
VOYAGE
Three American Athletes on
Their Way to Australia to
StartIe Natives

| The All-America track and field
team departed for New Zealand and
Australia on the steamer Tahiti this
morning at IL o'clock. The athletes
are Jim Power. George Parker and
Reg Caughey. The pier was crowded
with enthusiasts who wished the boys
good luck President Elliot of the
Amateur Athletic Union of the United
States gave the team a few parting
words of advice.
Manager Eustace Peixotto expressed
his confidence in the ability of the
team just before sailing and stated
that he expected the quartet to ''clean
up in good shape" Though small
,, in numbers the team is a well ball
anced one and is expected to win the
big majority of meets 1t enters.
OBSTACLES ARE OVERCOME
The athletes are making the trip
of the New Zealand and Australian
unions Thefnvasion of the south sea
countries was originated by William
Unmack of The Call and the organi-
zation of the team has been in his
hands All sorts of obstacles were met
with in getting the athletes together,
many stating they would go on the
trip and then pulling out for various
reasons at the eleventh hour.
More than 100 athletes in different
parts of the country were asked to
make the tour. They included such
world famous men as Ralph Craig,
Alvah Meyer, Jim Rosenberger. John
Paul Jones, Abel Kiviat, Platt Adams.
Harry Babcock. Don Lippincott, Tom
Halpin, Eddie Beeson, Fred Kelly,
Martin Hawkins and dozens of others
equally as prominent. None of these
men could make the trip, either coll
lege work or business preventing them
from being away for four months.
HIGH CLASS ATHLETES
The team was not actually COM
pleted until a few days ago and at
one time 1t looked as though the trip
would have to be called off. 1t was
only through herculean efforts and
working the telegraph wires all over
the country at top speed that the team
was finally got together.
The men that now form the team
are high class athletes, including an
American champion, Pacific coast
sprint champion. one of the best shot
putters in the country and man of
all round ability who is considered
one of the most remarkable athletes
for his size ever seen in competition.
Power is the miller and distance
man, Parker the sprinter and Caughey
the weight man.

OPPOSE CLARK AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, D. Georgia
fight in the house on the Clark
amendment. which provides for a tax
of fifty cents a bale on cotton ex-
change contracts. The amendment
was opposed by both Senators Bacon
and Smith in the senate caucus, but
it was passed as a party measure,
and the only relief for its opponents
now is to attack it in the house.
Senator Smith introduced an
amendment in the caucus which was
in effect a substitute for the Clark
amendment. His amendment provid-
ed that where an exchange sold a
contract under which the exchange
was compelled to deliver cotton with
in the grades of the government
standardization and to pay the mar
ket difference in the price of the cot
ton rendered and the cotton sold,
then that the tax should be only 80
cents per hundred bales. This sub
stitute was defeated.
If the Clark amendment should
pass the house also it will not go into
effect until September, 1914. The
object of the measure is to .prevent
gambling in cotton futures, but its
opponents say it will operate to drive
the price of cotton down.

This State at Bottom OF List for
Civil Service Examinations.

Georgia will have to wait at least
eight months before its citizens will
have 4 chance to compete with the
incum bents now acting as postmas-
tiers in fourth class offices, according
to Washington dispatch. This
state, one of the biggest in the union,
has been placed almost at the bot
tom of list in the order in which
the civil service commission will hold
examinations under the ruling Of
President Wilson, which requires in
cumbents in fourth class offices who
have no civil service status to com
pete with others in order to hold
their jobs.
Not until the deficiency appropria-
ton bill passed congress was the civil
service commission able to even be-
gin holding examinations in accord
ance with the presidents order. 1t is
impossible to hold all the eXamina-
lions in the different states at the
