FIGHT GAME BELIEVED
DOOMED IN CALIFORNIA.


By United Press.
San Francisco, July 10.-There is
every indication today that the prize
fighting game is going into the Cali
fornia state election in the fall already
licked The proposition which, if it
passes, will put the sport down for
the count, is not up to the legislature
but to the voters themselves. 1t is on
the ballot as an initiative measure and
if concensus of opinion signifies any
thing, the majority in its favor is a
certainty. The fight promoters them
selves show no enthusiasm in oppos
ing it, Either they have already
grown rich enough and are ready to
retire or they consider their cause
hopeless, but not word are they say

father. The funeral was held Mon.
day afternoon and he returned home
Tuesday night. He was accompanied
by his daughter, Maize who remained
for weeks visit with relatives.

of the district in the local papers. It
ought to be done everywhere. The
people have a right to know about
public affairs.

owners would just take about ten
minutes some day and remove the
fringe of grass along the curb in front
of their respective places of business.
