IS ONE ROUND HOGAN
A PEACH OR A LEMON?
Fans Are From Missouri and Battle
With Frayne Must. Show Them ' '
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
Two weeks from next Saturday and
the boxing world will know whether
California is to come, to the front, with
another limb on the tree which pro
dues the pugilistic champions. Two
weeks from next Saturday One Round
.iack Hogan, the best looking light
weight we have produced since Jimmy
Britt was right, meets Johnny Frayne
in his first long distance contest, the
one that must tell the tale.
Hogaii looks and a«.s like the mak
ings of a world renowned performer.
All he lacks is the test and Frayne is
a very good man to furnish this, being
clever, fast and experienced. Frayne
is Just as sure that he will eliminate
Hogan from the ranks of the higher
'.:pj? in boxing society jis Hogan is that
he will send Frayne back to where he
started. Now the fans will have to
wait and see for themselves.
It- is barely possible that the fans
expect too much of Hogan. Though he
has never gone further than, the four
round limit, he has been boosted and
touted tto the skies till his fame has
spread as far eastward as New York.
Hogan will- have a tough task on his
hands in his endeavor to make good
with them all. Unless he wjns de
cisively, they will be loath to give the
one round terror all the credit that Is
coming to him, for the simple reason
that he"s a second Britt, very unpopu
lar with the gallery.
The ring is sadly in need of some
new blood, hence Hogan is blossoming
out at the very best time. With th 3
Battler practically out of it for all time,
Wolgasi wobbling unsteadily on his
pinnacle, Moran supposed to be back
ing up rapidly, the young, tearing
Hogan stands a grand chance of sweep
ing* the entire field within the next
year or so.
But it all depends upon his start. In
Frayne he meets a young man, full of
cleverness and plenty of good experi
ence. But Frayne "w*»nt back" some
< ouple of years ago and now is en
deavoring to "come back." This is the
big black mark against him. Fince last
Saturday's affair it's practically im
possible to convince a fan that any of
th^m can "come back."'
. Frayne has a game and a hopeful
Varkfr in A] Whito, the Oakland sport-
ingman. White has j taken hold of
v. Johnny and stands ready to back him
with plenty of money, it was he who
sent Frayne down to New Orleans,
where he made so good against Moran
and Tommy Murphy in 10 round bouts
and he is just an confident that Johnny
can stop Hogan's rushes. •
Unless Hogan or Frayne makes good
to the satisfaction of all the critics,
California will have to. rely upon the
. east for the big cards during the next
year or the next couple of years. In
the. past, the c Golden state always had
its men right in the front ranks. It
needs them more now than ever be
fore. Now is the time for Hogan and
Krayne io tear in.
J. E. White, attorney for the church
federation, is again bothering District
Attorney Fiekert about the boxing
game. White has been very quiet since
Jhe Jeffries-Johnson affair, but new he
is up and protesting again, and he has
taken occasion to call the district at-
Jorneys attention to the fact that in
his opinion the state and city law was
violated by the principals of the Nel
son-Moran encounter last Saturday. '
White is evidently the only one of the
416.000 people in this city who has
taken occasion to raise his voice in de
nouncing the sport again. But he. has
started, and the chances are that Ffck
ert will have to make some sort of a
move.
Last night Fickert announced that he
would proceed" against Nelson and
Moran and Selig "and Coffroth and the
various other principals of Saturday's
affair provided that White would swear
out warrants for their arrest. It, is now
up to White to go to bat. So far as the
district attorney is concerned, he can
not see where the law was fractured.
According to all the eye witnesses of
the Nelson-Moran bout, it was a clever,
scientific affair, devoid of brutality or
rough incidents. The crowd of 9,000
persons, representing men in every
walk of life, left the arena fully satis
fied that the contest was a high class
one in every sense of the word. They
would all gladly pay to see it over
again.
The mud slinging contest between
Owen Moran and Lightweight Cham
pion Ad Wolgast is due to start very
shortly, just as soon as Moran gets
started on* his theatrical tour and his
press agent gets an inspiration. Cer
tainly Moran appears to have all the
better of the argument. Wolgast will
either have to take the Britisher on
soon or else admit that he is only an
ornament In the Queensberry shop win
dow.
Wolgast. received $3,750- for winning
the title from Nelson last February. It
is safe to say that he has not earned
$2,000 since that time. Surely a real
champion can not very, well pay his
bills and support a manager on that In
come. Financial distress if nothing
else should drive Wolgast into the ring
shortly.
That 'the interest among the heavy
weights was killed off locally by the
Jeffries-Johnson bloomer is shown in
the case of Al Kaufman. The big
Californian is looked '\u25a0upon as the. only
logical man to send in against the
champion, yet he is not even declaring
himself in his native city. He seems
to realize that there is nothing left for
a heavy weight hero. •
Although Kaufman was looked upbn
as a great card here six months ago,
he has \u25a0 been forced to sign up for
matches down in New Orleans. The
southern city never, was the boxing
town that San Francisco is and prob
ably never will be, yet it seems to be
the only place open to the man. who
some day hopes to wear the heavy
weight crown.

SIX ROUND LIMIT
ON OAKLAND BOUTS
Police Commission Prohibits
Boxing Contests of Longer
Duration 'A cross Bay
OAKLAND. Nov. 3.0. — That boxing
bouts in this, city will be limited to
six rounds for each contest was the
ultimatum of the board of police and
fire commissioners this' morning. ' The
board merely reaffirmed a resolution
adopted sevc:ral months ago, declaring
that the police authorities would not
permit any boxing exhibition which in
any way violated the state law.
During the discussion. Mayor Mott
announced that \one of . the local clubs
giving monthly exhibitions wfth per
mission of the board had advertised a
10 round encounter. He said he called
the heads of the club to"- account for
this^ dereliction, and -was informed by
them that, no bout on the card would
be over six rounds. . •
The Oakland church federation has
again taken a stand against-,prizefights
by the adoption of this resolution:
• "Whereas, *the laws of. this state ab
solutely prohibit, prizefights, and •
"Whereas, notwithstanding the firm
stand taken by the chief executive of
the state during the past year, profes
sional prizefight promoters, both "In
this county and San Francisco, are en
deavoring to revive such unlawful ex
hibitions, and i
"Whereas, tHe fight held in San Fran
cisco on Saturday, November 26, 1910,
between two professional fighters, was
as shown by the newspaper reports
clearly a prizefight, and . .
"Whereas, the chief executive, in his
letter of June, 1910, to the ajto'rney
general of this state, has ..carefully
called the law of this state to the at
tention of the persons affected there
by." - •\u25a0 ' -\u25a0-:-:.. -.\u25a0
"Now, therefore, the Oakland
church federation respectfully calls
upon the local officers of this city, this
county and of the city and county of
San . Franc-isco, to initiate.;; such .pro
ceedings In their respective
as will result in the enforcement of
section 412 of the penal code of this
state; and I
"Resolved, that a copy of this resolu
tion be sent to the district attorney
of the city and county of San Fran

county, the mayor tof this city, and the

JEM MACE, PRIZE RING
HERO, DIES OF OLD AGE
LONDON. Nov.'- 30 —"Jem"
Mace, the' hero of many y prize
fights, died at Harrow-on-Tyne
of old age today. He was in his
seventy-ninth year. ::
Mace was" at one' time worth
mere than $1,000,000, but of re
cent years he has been depend
ent on friends.. Occasionally he
had appeared in music hall ex
hibitions.
"Jem" Mace was born at
Beeston, in Norfolk, and in his
day was one of the greatest box
ers. His first great fight was 1
yvith Bill Thorpe, whom he beat
in 18 rounds.
When. Tom Sayers retired
from the championship in 1860,
Mace was regarded as his le
gitimate successor, but- his su
premacy was' soon challenged by
Tom King. They met in Jan
uary, 1862. when, y aftex 43
rounds, Mace was 'given the
verdict. For the next 10 years
he was practically invincible: '
Ritchie-Label Bout
Looks Inviting
; The next, boxing dish for the local
fans Is the series of seven four, round
bouts which Eddie Powers of . the
Golden Gate club will stage at>Dream
land next Friday night. The card is a
very Inviting one, the three big events
giving promise of plenty of action for
those who like to sit near the,ringslde
or in the gallery andiwatch the jabs
and swings. - - -
-Willie Ritchie, the cleverest of the
local lightweights, will meet Abe Attell,
the veteran four round performer. On
general form, Ritchie. should get away
with Label, but as \ they went four
fast; rounds the last time, and,: Ritchie
barely won the decision, there is a- good
chance of his opponent coming back
and evening up the score with his old
rival this time. Label is a slugger with
a good punch, arid he is always danger
ous. Ritchie is by far the better boxer
and ring general, and has a bright ring
future" if he gets by this one.
The mlxup between JDddie Dennis and
Walter Scott, which; is carded as the
special event, looks to ;be as; good on
paper as the main attraction. . These
boys., looked upon as the-best of the
local feather have not yet
been able to settle ( the difference that
exists between them.- Both are great
defensive performers,* with fast left
hands, though up to the present time
neither has won any spurs as a- real
knocker out. \u25a0»" , '
:; Big Charlie Miller will ' endeavor : to
try out one Jim. Williams... the "un
known,heavy weight,", in the-next mill.
The "unknown" is a 240 pounder^and
apparently very/ willing; but this is all
they know about him. If he makes
good against Miller? he may join -the
ranks of the "white '* man's hope bri
gade," and if he loses he will have to
go back to work.
Three other four round events . wiir.be

The diagnosis of disease is the first and really most important step
in* the successful treatment of any trouble.' In other words, first rind
the source or cause,- and then use the remedy most naturally and
scientifically suited to the condition.
We do not believe there is any disease in which improper treaty
ment is more often used than in Catarrh. So many persons treat
the symptoms, without giving thought to the causes which produce
these symptoms, and the result is that Catarrh is considered incurable
by a great many, simply because local treatment has failed to accom-
plish the desired result.
Every symptom of Catarrh points to impure blood; we are sure a
short analysis of the disease and its symptoms will convince any one
that this statement is true. First we have irritated and inflamed
mucous membranes of the head, nose, and throat, from which there is
a constant and copious discharge of watery matter. This comes from
inflammation of these mucous surfaces and is caused by catarrhal mat-
ters and impurities in the circulation. Nature intends that these mem-
branes shall all be nourished by the blood, and so long as this vital
fluid is pure it. satisfactorily performs this necessary work, but waste
matters and .impurities deposited into these delicate parts sets up
inflammation, and the discharge is a natural result. When this secre-
tion begins todry it assumes thicker proportions and becomes sticky;
then it adheres to the throat and upper back portion of the mouth,
causing the "hawking" and -__ —...^
