Luther H. Rosser, chief of counsel

Franks attorneys will make no eff

from death to life Imprisonment. it is
understood. although rumors TO this
effect have been in circulation for
some time. '-.t
The Solicitor will ask for the death
sentence and will hold that the Judge
las no alternative, in view of the pro-
visions of the Georgia code and the
decision of the Supreme Court. 1t is
the purport Of the law, according to-
the Solicitor, that the life of Frank
still is under forfeit to the State, ar
that Judge Hills only function is to
set the date when the prisoner shall
give up his life on the gallows. The
court is known to agree with him.

DIR. Stuart spoke for an hour and

The Senator attacked the Mexican
policy Of the administration as ri
dculous and shameful" and asserted
that he was convinced that the
United states soon must deal with
Mexico in a decisive way.

COAST PROMOTERS
WILL FIGHT LAW

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. s.
Through an error in the way the re-
cent anti-bOxing law was passed, lead
ing opponents of the fistic sport hope
to save it from extinction in California.
Several promoters and enthusiasts
viii test the cOnstitutionality of the
act In southern California Tom Nc
Carey will start a legal campaign soon
and expects to hold up the effect Of
the boxing law for the next two years
while in this city James w Coffroth
will take like steps.
The loophOle through which Coffroth
and McCarey hope. to force a wedge. is
contained in the fact that the submis-
sion of the original petition did not
conform with the legal requirements
The petition was originally submitted
lacking many thousand names, and
was returned to be resubmitted when
the number of signatures complied
with the law.
The resubmission of the petition
came after the date had passed The
petition was therefore protested at the
time, but the measure was placed on
the ballot
Both CoffrOth and AIcCarey were IA
mlliar with the C. rcumstances, but did
not press their point at that time.
Ihey were satisfied to remain inactive
and seize upon the technicality later

goes an occasional strange map" would
indeed be welcOme-provided the gent
has anything in the way of reputation
to back it up. Among those who are
expected to take the ''rattler" for this
section Immediately after the holidays
are Willie Richie, former lightweight
champion, Joe Rivers, Frankie Burns
and Harry Foley's latest discovery,
Ralph Grunan, the Portland lightweight
scrapper who is touted by many west
ern writer's as a very promising mem
Der of the fraternity. Jimmy Clabby,
George Chip and Billy Murray will
swell the list of eligible middleweights
already here.
Decisions Nay BE Allowed.
BY the time the boys begin to arrive
there will be a new governor up at Al
bany, and more than likely a new bunch
in charge of boxing in this state. All
this may mean that decisions will be
allowed in this city and if so. we may
well look for big boom in the sport.
The fans don't take half the interest in
a boxing match which promises to be
merely an exhibition throughout than
in bout which is sure to be holly con-
tested because something more than q
percentage OF the gate receipts is at
stake. With referees allowed to give
decisions in boxing matches, the sport
would take a sharp jump In popular IA
vor-and after the last lean wear or
Two promoters would relish something
ike InaI' L fancy.
McCarey Going south.
I read recently where Tom McCarey
was quoted to the effect that he would
try TO break into the boxing game in
New Orleans, and that Dominick Tor
torich who has had a monopoly in that
line for some time, advanced the opinion
that Uncle Thomas had another think
coming. However, I will not be sur
prised If McCarey does open up in the
crescent city before long. I under
stand he has received invitations from
several citizens to look over the ground,
and it is likely he will accept.
The business men of New orleans
are not inclined to show favortism to-
wards the native sons-they have found
II does not pay, that a fair field and

no favor is better for all concerned.
Racing was stopped in the southern
metropolis on account of attempts to
stop outsiders from butting in. Had
Tie tie newcomers been permitted to go
along everything would have been
lovely but the constant pickering and
fighting between the rival associations
attracted the attention of the reform
ers to the fact that gambling was go
ing on, and once that agitation is
started it is a case of curtains for the
sport.
TOrtOrich Is Peeved.
one can hardly blame TortorIch. how
ever, for feeling a trifle peeved at the
idea of McCarey coming into the field
ct this time after he has carried the
game along for years in spite of
the handicap it was under. Now that
there is a chance to put New Orleans
on the map pugilistically again Tor
uorich would like to gather all the
gravy for himself. However, McCarey
is entitled to all he can get if he de-
cides to open up there. While it is
true that he had a monopoly of the game
in Los Angeles, permitting no outsiders
to butt in on him, that is nothing to
his discredit. In fact he is due con-
siderable praise for the mastery man
ner he handled affairs there. 1t takes
a good man to frame up thing SO
there can be no competition. Tor
torich had the same opportunity in New
orleans, but I doubt if he can swing it.
With New Orleans the only city in the
country where championship bouts can
he held there should be plenty of room
for two big clubs If not. it viii be
a case of the survival of the finest.
Has welsh Changed Views.
In view of the fact that Freddie
welsh has been dUcl5ing all offers to
! hoy where decisions are allowed. and

have failed to appear and the cups
have been permitted to fill IN win
cheap substitutes without first nOI-
flying the public that the bouts as
scheduled would not go on. Only last
week the Brooklyn Sporting Club had
billed a match between Al Reich and
Colin Bell, the Australian heavyweight.
1t appears that the club had been nou-
fled early that Bell could not appear,
but continued selling tickets and did
not inform the crowd of Bells error OF
omission until it was time for the con-
testants to enter the ring. The specta-
tors were then informed that Jack Nc
Farland would be substituted for Bell
No offer was made to refund the money
to those who wished it, so 1 under
stand. Still the boxing commissioners
did not see fit to investigate, although
all the crowd got for their cash was
several cheap preliminary bouts and
worse than one sided exhibition be-
tween Reich and Mcfarland!
Patrons Need Protection.
Boxing patrons have had little pro-
tecioD extended them by the present
board, and no doubt Mr.. Whitman who,
since holding the office of district at
torney has made it point to become
pretty well posted ABOUT things in gem
eral, has taken all this into consider
alton, hence the report circulated Of the
contemplated change in the personnel
of the board.
CulifOrfans VIII Drift East.
When the anti-boXing law goes into
effect in California the middle of this
month a number of young men who
have been calling the Golden State
home for a long time Will copper Horace
Greeley's advice and hike toward the
east. New York, New Orleans and Mil
Waukee will be asked to take care of
the overflow of fistic talent which viii
be headed in this general direction
shortly, as these cities practically will
have a monopoly Of important contests
with San Francisco and Los Angeles
out of the running.
In a way. it viii be a good thing for
the game in the eastern cities. A new
face now and then adds interest to box
ing matches, and so far as New York
