Celebration at 15 to 1 was the longest chance that got first money. The weather was chilly and the track good. A very bad start killed whatever chance J. V. Kirby, the favorite, had in the first race. Kirby, Valmar, Ef- i fervescence and Phyz were. standing sidewise to the barrier when it was sprung.

BOSTON, Jan. 19.—Kid Carter of Brooklyn knocked out Joe Choynski of Chicago after two minuates’ fighting in the first round to-night before the Crite- rion Club. Choynski had the better of the round up to the knockout, when Carter landed a vicious right- hand blow to the body and the Chi- cago man went down and out. = The blow looked low to the spectators, and the referee’s decision awarding the bout to Carter was greeted with cries of “Foul.” Choynski was out nearly four minutes and appeared in great distress. The men were matched to fight fifteen rounds. Late to-night Carter and Choynski were arrested charged with mutual as- sault. Eight other =men, including seconds and referee and the managers of the club, were also arrested on the charge of aiding and abetting a prize- fight. Bach was bailed in the sum of $200.

The gallery was filled to its capacity, while few vacant seats were in evidence on the main flodr. The club’s matchmaker had skimmed the cream of the “‘amateur” boxers and the bouts showed his handiwork. The fights were all of the sensational order, some of the rounds being full of action and clean, hard hitting. The feature number on the card was the bout between the heavyweights, Sam Berger and George Sullivan. Ber- ger fought well in . streaks, but he showed the lack of practical experience in the ring. He needs a number of easy fights and considerable more weight and strength before he can realize the hopes of his friends, who see in him championship material. In the first round he dropped Sullivan with neatness and dispatch with a short left hook to the jaw. It was almost the first blow struck and shook up Sullivan badly. Berger tried to end matters quickly, but he could not land a decisive biow. He cut Sullivan badly about the nose and mouth. In his eagerness he slipped down, but was up at once. Both were slugging at the end of the round. Sullivan_went to the mat four times in the second round, sometimes going down to avoid punishment. He kept fighting back and crossed his right on Berger several times. x SULLIVAN IS INJURED. It developed after the fight that Sul- livan sustained a simple fracture of the right arm above the wrist in this round. The injured member was attended by the surgeons at the Receiving Hospital. Sullivan also received a bad cut over the right eye, which bled freely. Berger had a decided lead in the third round. In the fourth round he went after his man and beat him badly about the body. He finally scored a right and left to the head and Sullivan fell to the floor on his face. He was unable to rise and his seconds carried him to hig cor- ner. Berger was seconded among by those well-known “amateurs, aer” Kelly and Jimmy = Britt, while Harry Foley, Frank Telfer and others were in Sullivan's corner. William Stewart was given the deci- sion over George Murray after four hard rounds. Stewart insisted before i the fight that they were to break away clean. Murray was outpointing him and hitting in the clinches, so Stewart tried hitting in the clinches, and this turned the tide of battle in his favor. Murray used a jolty left, but he could | not stop Stewart, who took a lot of | punishment. As they shook hands at the beginning of the fourth round Mur- ray hit Stewart and earned the dis- pleasure of the spectators. KELLY OUTGAMES BOWLES. Joe Kelly of the Hayes Valley Ath- letic Club cutgamed Jack Bowles of the. Lincoln Club and was given the decision after four rounds. Bowles had a good left hand and kept Kelly in trouble for two rounds. Kelly then sailed in and beat Bowles to a stand- still. He had a right swing which Bowies could not dodge. Al Elkins, a coumerpar/ of Young Corbett in build and hitting power, knocked out Abe Label in two roun The winner had a blow which would bring home the money in any company. The first round was all hard hitting, without any advantage on either side. In the second round Label was knocked down' three times. He first got a right to the jaw. He went down again from a left and was then knocked out with a right to the jaw. Bob Lundie and Jack Burke fought one of the most sensational rounds ever seen in Mechanics’ Pavilion. Lundie was knocked down after a few seconds’ fighting. He then sailed into Burke and knocked him down. He knocked him down again, and then Lieutenant of Police Kelly took a hand. He or- dered the bout stopped. The seconds of each man claimed the decision should go to them, but Referee Graney re- fused to give the fight to either man. The spectators wanted the fight to go on, but the lieutenant was obdurate, although the referee said the fight had not reached a dangerous stage. George Petersen and Joe Thomas fought four desperate rounds. The judges decided in favor of Thomas, al- though the spectators seemed to think Peterson won easily on points. Peter- son was the stronger and timed his blows better than his opponent. Thom- as was knccked to his knees in the third round. It was a slugging match from the start and both took an in- credible amount of punishment. Thom- as did not seem in the best of cond tion. Young and Sam Lyser as judges. Billy Roach acted as timekeéper. e WOMEN WORKING FOR PIN MONEY T PR Bring Distress to Those Who Must Earn a Living for Them- "selves and Their Families Pl 7 ssirondl DESTROY OTHERS' CHANCES Poor Shopgirls Must Contend With Those Who Want a Little Money for Luxuries piie SEALAIE The question of a woman's right to work for pin money and the effect upon the labor! market for the employment of women are discussed helpfully by Priscilla Leonard in Harper's Bazar. In common with a great many women and most men, she deprecates the man- ner in which women who have a home and maintenance guaranteed to them insist on pushing themselves into the industrial field for the sake of the few extra luxuries their work will give them. She shows how the influence of women on wages is always to lower them, and she quotes an English au- thority to the effect that wages in any trade are sent downward steadily in proportion to the number of women employed. CAUSE OF BAD CONDITIONS. This deplorable state of things comes about, Miss Leonard concludes, be- cause while all men are united in in- sisting on a living wage, women have no scrunles about working for anything they can get. The woman breadwinner wants the living wage, too, and left to herself she might get it; but she has the women to compete with who live in families where a father or brother pay the rent and provide the food. Such women do not need a living wage. On the contrary, they can afford to work for an exceedingly low wage and yet get plenty of svending money out of it. Because of these pin-money workers manufacturers offer what is practically a starvation wage. Men will not accept it, no self-supporting woman can live on it; the only class who will take it is the class of supported and protected girls who have created it. 'The living wage is lost to that s 1 industry forever. The pin-money worker has de- stroyed all other chances but her own; driven men out of that branch partial- ly or entirely and cheapened her own labor. But she is quite satisfied, for her $3 50 a week buys all the feathers she needs. Miss Leonard cites the case of the shop girl as one illustration of the fatal influence of the pin-money worker, and that of the garment maker as the oth- er. In large cities the shop girl has driven out the male and destroyed the living wage, excent in a few first-class houses. As for the girl who has to live on her own wages, the big stores will not take her any more, and if they would she could not live on her pay. That line of industry has practically been closed to her by the worker for pin-money. THE “WHITE SALE” BARGAIN! In the garment workers’ line the situ- lation is auite as bad, or worse, Miss Leonard declares. What renders the tremendous bargains in “white sales” possible is the fact-that country girls sweatship is driven into yet fiercer com- petition tc hold any part of the trade at all. Every woman in a big city who goods is pushed down, relentlessly and inevitably, to starvation wages. The women who stitch in cellars, in attics. fifteen hours a day, with only bread and tea to keep soul and body together, are paying for the ccuntry girl's feath- er or ribbon. They need a living wage; she makes it impossible for them to get. it. That this holds in other trades be- i sides the two cited seems to be the opinion of the authors of “The Woman Leonard as saying: “In the factory where I worked men and women were' emploved for ten hours a day. The women's highest wages were lower than the men's low- est. Both were working as hard as they possibly could. Why was this? I can only relate the conclusicns I drew from what I saw myself. In the mas- culine category I met but one class of competitor—the breadwinner. In the feminine category I found a of clagses—the breadwinner, the semi- breadwinner, the woman who works for luxuries. This inevitably drags the wage level down. RUINOUS COMPETITION. “The self-supporting girl is in com- petition with the girl who lives at home and makes a small contri- bution to the household expenses and with the girl who is supported and spends all her money on clothes. It is this division of purpose which takes the ‘spirit’ out of them as a class. “The men formed a united class. They had a purpcse in common. They worked because they needed the money to live. The women had nothing in common but: their physical inferiority to men. The children in the factory were working from necessity; the boys were working from necessity. The only industrial unit complicating the prob- lem was the girls who worked without being obliged to—the girls who had all the money they wanted. To them the question of wages was not vital. They could afford to accept what the bread- Referee Grarey was assisted by .\l1 with homes and food make these gar- | ments for wages so small that the city | makes her living by*sewing on white | Who Toils,” whe are quoted by Miss | variety | ONAL BOXERS (COLLEGE GAMES ON THE CAMPUS Berkeley — Stanford Football Matehes to Be Decided at the Former Place Next November BASEBALL 18- DISCUSSED Collegians Are Unable to Deter- mine Whether Freshmen Shall Play a Series of Contests ok R B BERKELEY, Jan. 19.—The athletic committee of the University of Cali- | fornia decided to-night that both the | freshman and the university football | games with Stanford University shall be played this year on the Berkeléy campus. This action was in response to a re- quest from Stanford that the freshman game be played at Palo Alto. The com- | mittee voted to adhere to the original | intercollegiate agreement.

Despite the great shortage in the pear supply, more than 1,000,000 boxes of the | fruit have been kept in store in Amer- |ica. A “cornmer” in. pears is of rare oc- currence, but one seems to have been “engineered” this season. The general failure of the British and he European crop is the cause of the corner.” It is estimated that quite £100,000 will be made in extra profits | by the holders of the stocks. If the fruit is kept until after Christmas the extra profits may come out at £250,000. The British fruit brokers have been astonished that the fancy prices pears have recently realized, ranging from 158 to 20s a case, have not brought over | heavy shipments. Instéad of the 5000 cases expected last week, fewer than 200 came to British ports. Had it not been for Canada similar tactics would have been adopted with | apples this Christmas. The Canadian | apple has filled the gap caused by the | failure of the British crop. Had it not | been for their 50,000 and 100,000 pack- | ages weekly, the trade would have been |in the hands of American speculators, | and values this Christmas would have | been forced up 25 per cent. | Last year Canada shipped us 3,000,000 bushels of apples, and this season the | arrivals should be heavier still. Dur- | ing the past week over 200,000 bushels | of prime Canadian apples have been | unshipped in London, Liverpool, Man- chester and Bristol —— e Bible Sunday. | 'The American Bible Society will unite with the British and Foreign | Bible Society in the observance of the entenary of the British society March . 1904. The world wide observance of Sunday is proposed and a joint ap- peaP to all denominations throughout the world will soon be issued.

The birds, representing 200 varieties | and from remote parts of the world, not only made life miserable for the Government officers, but the variety and continuity of their songs drove to madness and then death a monkey which had traveled from Antwerp on the steamship Belgenland with the songsters. The monkey did not suc- cumb until confined in the same room with the birds in the appraisers’ build- ing.—Philadelphia Press. —_—— Experiments made in the German army with carrier pigeons having been satisfactory, every warship leaving Kiel or Wilhelmshaven will hereafter carry a consignment of pigeons, to be released at varying distances from the :nd stations.
