"' i FOUR ROUND KING WILL FIGHT FAIR Says There 9 s No Occasion to Fear Foul Tactics on His Part WILLIAM J. SLATTERY The fear that One Round Hogan ir.ight possibly tear loose, throw pre fautioa to the winds and accidentally ioui o'ohnny Frayne prompted Referee Eddie Hanlon to pay a visit to Hogan at San Rafael yesterJay and talk over the rules with him. After he had chat ted with the sensational lightweight for half an hour Hanlon felt satisfied that Hogan understood the rules and that there would be no trouble on that score. So much has been eaid and written about Hojan holding his men and up percutting them in the clinches that many were fearful that he might break the rules and toss away his chance against Frayne. Hogan seemed sur prised that the fans should fear for his rough tactics. He expects to beat Frayne and beat him quickly, but he says that he is willing to lose the first time he indulges In foul tactics. "All I want is a chance to keep going." said Hogan to Hanlon. "You will not have to watch me. I am not going to hold on. All this talk about my grabbing them with one hand and hammering with the other comes from a lot of fellows who don't watch me closely or don't understand the rules. If I foul. Eddie, give Frayne the de cision." "I Uon't want to giv« it to anybody on a foul," replied Hanlon. "If you box according to the rules and keep your head there will be no danger of anything- of the sort. I won't lay my har.ds on either of you unless you are locked in a clinch and refuse to break when I tell j'ou to." "That's good enough for me," cut in the one round terror. "Let me fight and I will be satisfied and happy. But I want to yarn you not to stop the contest in case I am knocked Uown and somebody tosses a towel into the ring. Don't pay any attention to it. I want to be stowed away clean if I am to be stowed away at all. None of my sec onds has any authority to come to. my rescue with a towel." Evidently Hogan is figuring on mak ing quick work of his one time friend- He Is training for a hurricane mill and the chances are that he will carry it right to Frayne Just as soon as the gong 1 sends them to the middle of the ring next Saturday afternoon. Hogan went six rounds yesterday afternoon at Shannon's, three with EJ- die Dennis and three with Trainer George Green. There is nothing lack ing in Hogan's makeup. He is fast, accurate with his punches, aggressive and apparently In fine physical condi tion. After he finished up he jumped on the scales and they said he was 135 pounds, a nice weight for the lad. Hogan and Green broke the record for the run over the hill and around by Kentfleld yesterday morning. This is a strenuous course of nine miles and the record. 1 hour and 15 minutes, was v held for several years by Jimmy Britt. Hogan and Green negotiated the course yesterday in 1 hour and 5 minutes, and the young lightweight looked fresh and strong when he finished. This shows that his wind is about right. Hogan has had a lot of trouble with his sparring partners, but in Eddie Dennis he seems to have landed the very boy for his own peculiar style of work. Dennis is a great little fighter as well as a clever boxer and the work outs he has been giving Hogan show their effect. It is likely that Hogan will be able to complete his work with Dennis alone. Green will lay his man off today after the morning road work. He will do his last heavy boxing tomorrow Frayn<» went six rounds over at Al White's place yesterday afternoon. He had a good two round setto with Jimmy Allen, a speedy Canadian light weight., and then he took on Charley Reilly for his regular four round bout. Frayne still looks like a welter weight, but apparently he is within striking distance of the 133 pound mark, for this is not causing him the lp&st bit of worry. He has trained harder for this one than any contest he had around San Francisco, and if he is not right when he goes against Hogan it will be a sure sign that he never will be right again. Frayne's defensive work is remark able. * Apparently he has been paying more attention to this on account of Hogan's tearing reputation. None of hss -sparring partners stand the slight est chance of hitting Johnny with their right hand. Occasionally they land with a left to the head, but he keeps hi? body so well protected that his sparring partners lose heart in trying to wnip in an effective punch there. Frayne has about completed his training. He intends to taper off today nnd tomorrow and and practically lay up all his strength Friday so as to be Ftrong for the fray Saturday. Frayne has practically promised to take on Frankie Burns of Oakland in January if he wins from Hogan and finds a pro moter who is willing to stage this con test. Burns, who has been watching Frayne daily, picks him to defeat the one round celebrity. The sale of seats for the battle will open at noon today at Gunst's. SOO Marßet street: Tom Corbett's, 271 Stevenson street and 1517 Ellis street, and the Mecca, 1008 Broadway, Oak land. All indications point to a .large crowd, provided the weatner holds out. Promoter Louis Blot has been ap proached by an insurance broker, who wants to insure him against rain, and this proposition may be accepted. Johnson Agrees to Meet Sam or Joe CHICAGO, Dec. 13. — Jack Johnson, champion heavy weight pugilist, agreed last night to meet the winner of the LangTord-Jeannette fight scheduled to occur in Paris next February in a 25 round bout to take place in France next April for a puree of $25,000, pro vided the money is posted in America and an American Is the referee. "The reason I Insist on an American ref eree," said the champion, "is because I Jo not want any lemons handed me. If they don't come across with my two conditions then there will be nothing doing."

An easy game was expected by the seniors and they had put a weak team in the field, but the bankers forced them to exert themselves to the utmost. Eight points were run up by the banking five before the Benlors could get their bearings, but at the end of the first half the final year men had succeeded in forging ahead 15 to 10. The bankers brought the score up to 14, but could not get beyond that and the other team gradually drew away. Tomorrow the final game of the aca demic division will be played with the second and third academic teams as the contenders. From the showing made so far the second year men will win by a close margin, although in the games already played the other team has shown bits of speed.

L'HOMMEDIEU To Journey till the way from New York to the v/ildn of Alabama to dem onatrnto th^ ability of an automobile and to climb a mountain heretofore roararded n.9 lnarceesible Is a feat that has Just been accomplished by a party of. automobllintH on route from Gotham to Ran FranoJuco on a pathflnding tour by way of the northern states. The mountain in question is known as Snnny mountain. ?6 miles south of Tus cumbis. nrcr tho town of . Courtland, Ala., and the automobile that climbed it Ib the Ohio car conveying E. L. Fergiißon of the American automobile association, who Is collecting the data for the new southern route from coast to coast. ...'^ '.,.'-..'. The successful climb was the out come of a v/asrer made between John T. Hall, a former Alabaman, now a New York theatrical man, and J. W. McCutcheon, one of this year's Glldden tour, entrants. Hall, who has toured the west and south extensively in his automobile, once attempted to cross Sandy mountain with disastrous re sults. He has since regarded it as a "graveyard" for automobiles. When he learned of McCutcheon's interest in the Ohio's pathflnding tour and that the party would cross Alabama he of fered to wag-er $1,000 that Sandy mountain could not be climbed. Ac cordingly the route through Alabama .was altered to make the attempt. It is a climb of a mile and a half up a steep, rocky road full -of gulleys and ruts.and exceedingly dangerous for any vehicle, and is avoided even by farm ers driving mule teams. The Ohio pathflnding- car negotiated it in 43 minutes, counting time lost in hauling the car back to the roadway after it had skidded down a five foot embank ment. The pathfinders, who, besides Fergu son, include G. W. Finney, represent ing the Ohio motor . car company; Charles Thacher and Fred D. Clark, left Memphis December 8 for Helena, Ark., en route to Dallas, Tex. ALBANY, N.

This estimate is based on the receipts from the new law for the first six months of its operation this year. . All licenses this year expire on De cember 31. During the six months the new law has been in operation this year 63,000 owners and 1.200 manufacturers regis tered their cars with the secretary of state, while 27,000 chauffeurs were licensed, the total receipts aggregating v 3 « o, 000.

Motorol Makes Boats Go Fast The Chalmers motor company, officials sprang quite a surprise on the dealers \u2666— ' \u25a0». at the banquet last I Thursday evening. ] this banquet be- ing the concluding feature of a four day dealers convention. The surprise was in the form of a "fake" newspaper — the "Chalmers Exhaust." Lee Anderson was managing editor, and he and Gail Murphy wrote the greater part of the stuff and did most of the work. The cartoons were done by Burt Thomas of the Detroit News This paper was brought into the ban quet hall just as the banquet was ready to break up by real newsboys, and they created some noise and sensation.

WOLFE SLATED FOR DELEGATION LEADER Senator From Twenty =first to Be Chairman of San Fran* cisco Legislators By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH Senator Eddie Wolfe is to be chosen chairman of the San Francisco joint senate and assembly delegation. The date for the adjourned meeting has been fixed, as have been many differ ences of opinion touching control of the delegation that may have existed. Unless there is some eleventh hour switch, Wolfe will be chosen chairman of the delegation tonight and the choice will be unanimous. The choice or Wolfe for chairman of the joint dele gation is not in the nature of a com pensation sop for the loss of the honors of president pro tempore that have been Wolfe's for years. Wolfe is entitled to the chairman ship of the San Francisco delegation by virtue of his seniority, but that is not the reason underlying the selection of the senator from the twenty-first district to lead the allied hosts from San .Francisco. He is the choice of the long hairs and short hairs alike be cause he is the most skillful floor man on the delegation. JOB MEANS HARD WORK If there were any differences be tween Wolfe and Tom Finn, who is the impresario responsible for a con siderable portion of the San Francisco delegation, those differences have been removed. The berth of chairman of the San Francisco delegation is not one of especial honor, but it does involve much hard work of the kind that gets no red fire for the worker. Assemblyman Nat Coghlan, senior member of the lower house delegation and several times its chairman, is again to the fore in the discussion of the probable leader for, the assembly delegation. In the old days the chair manship of the San Francisco delega tion meant anything but easy honoTs. The chairman's chief duties consisted of voting his charges right according to the organization program and ap pearing in the dual role of apologist for them both to the masters of the organization and the people. Things are not the same now. Coghlan has the ability, is a ready debater and a trained legislator. In an uncontrolled assembly he should be able to dis tinguish himself as the chairman of the largest delegation. AGAIXST TICKET PROGRAM It is pretty generally understood now that the republican county committee's purposes as related to the next munic ipal campaign - have , been misrepre sented. Men in the ranks of committee leadership say that the purpose of the banquet postponed until M.onday night is to guard against the springing of a ticket rather- than to make a ticket program. If their policies are adopted by the committee, it will decide to maintain and strengthen its organiza tion in every precinct, but it will have no part in putting any candidate into the primary race. After the field is I fiilled, it is the purpose of the leaders to have the committee and its organ i ization get_ behind the candidates, whose election, in the opinion of the ! committee, would be of the greatest I benefit to the city. Glenn County Sheriff Prevents Fight [Special Dispatch to The Call} WILLOWS, Dec. 13. — After sporting men had- gathered here from all sec tions of northern California and the bay region, and after between $1,500 and $2,000 had been taken in for ad vance seat sales, the Kid French and Mickey O'Brien match scheduled for last night was called "off .early in the evening by : Sheriff Bailey of -Glenn county. The promoters had secured a permit from 'the Willows trustees after the case had been argued, for several days and; they believed ; the last obstacle had been removed.' The grand jury met in special session yesterday, and it is : believed" Sheriff Bailey re ceived an order from this body to pre vent the :\u25a0 fight. r • : JUDGE WILL SPEED THE SNELL TRIAL Day and Night Sessions to Be Held Until Jury Returns Its Verdict United States District Judge Robert S. Bean has determined to hold day and night sessions of his court until a ver dict is returned in the trial of the perjury charge against Charles P. Snell. This announcement was made at the conclusion of the hearing yesterday afternoon. George C- Hunt, former special agent of the general land office, was called to prove that Snell had misled the I vestigators of the Perrin-Benson land frauds, but he admitted that he had a personal grievance against William J. Burns, who«caused the trial of Perrin and Benson; that he had secured the serv ices of Attorney J. E. Harper, one of the representatives of the Perrin in terests, to make a complaint against Burns In Arizona, and that he lost his position with the government July 7. Hunt had some lively tilts with Bert Schleslnger, attorney for Snell, and it seemed at times that they would come to blows, but Judge Bean always inter fered in time to prevent violence. Doctor Perrin was recalled, i, to identify letters and documents, and a deputy sheriff identified papers taken from Snell at the time of his afrest in Arizona. The prosecution introduced the affi davit of Snell made in Arizona, it i said, under luring inducements to ex onerate Doctor Perrin.

VALLEJO FANS TO BET ON WINGED V'S New Year's Game With Cen tury Expected to Wipe Out This Week's Defeat [Special Dispatch to The Call] VALJ-EJO, Dec. 13. — Confident that I they can defeat the Century squad of Oakland on New Year's day, the Winged V footballers held a rousing meeting last evening to discuss their plans for that game. At the meeting it was announced that supporters of the local squad intend to raise a purse of $500 to wager on the game and that this would be taken to the headquar ters of the. Oakland aggregation next week. Since the struggle of last Sunday, when the local squad met its first do feat in six years, the consensus of opinion is that if the eleven has any idea of winning several changes will have to be made. To this opinion the players and Coach Goshen bowed last evening. Strict training will be observed from now until New Year's day and signal practice will be held each evening until the last week before the struggle. when those working will lay off and do nothing but get in preparation for the game. It was decided at last j night's meeting to put Grant Wayson jat halfback in the future instead of 'Bugs' Raymond Enters Wrestling Game CHICAGO, Dec. 13.— "Bugs" Ray mond of the Xew York Nationals' pitch ing staff has been induced by friends in Chicago, where he spends his win ters, to take up the wrestling game, and next Saturday night he will go on for a finish match with Joe Kennedy, the local semiprofessional, at a local theater. Grows Hair on Bald Heads A Remedy That Costs Noth- ing if It Fails to Do as Claimed Resorcin is one of the latest and most effective germ killers discovered by science, and in connection with Beta Naphthol, also a powerful antiseptic, a combination is formed which destroys the germs which rob the hair of its nutriment, and thus creates a clean and healthy condition of the scalp, which prevents the development of new germs. Pilocarpine is a well known agent for restoring the hair to its natural color where the loss of color has been due to a disease. Yet it is not*a color- ing matter or dye. The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta Naphthol and Pilocarpine. combined with pure alcohol because of its cleansing and antiseptic qualities. It makes the scalp healthy, nourishes the hair, revitalizes the roots, supplies hair nourishment and stimulates a new growth.
