HEARD LOOKS
GOOD TO FANS
NATIVE STATE
SAN FRANCISCO, June 11 (by As
sociated Press).—In no city in the
country are Jess Willard, the heavy
weight champion boxer, and challeng
er Jack Dempsey beter known among
the followers of the ring than in this
city. Both men practically made their
start here—that is their serious ring
careers, although both men had
fought practically as unknowns before
coming here. For this reason an un
usual amount of interest is being taken
here in the championship contest
which is slated to be staged at To
ledo on Independence Day.
Willard’s fight against “Gunboat”
Smith in which Willard lost the deci
sion, was the first real opportunity
followers of the ring here had of es
timating the worth of Willard. It is
recalled Willard did not make much of
a reputation for himself as a fighter
but his great bulk was the wonder of
the day. It frequently was commented
on at he time that if Willard ever
gained the championship it would be
more through his enormous size than
for any particular ability he had as a
fighter.
Willard engaged in several minor
bouts here after his meeting with
Smith but he failed to convince the
sporting fraternity. He made a poor
showing against Charlie Miller in a
four round bout. Miller, who is a
motorman, had little to recommend
him aside from his size and rugged
ness but he succeeded in making Wil
lard practically run away from him
during the twelve minutes of boxing.
This was called a draw by the referee.
Dempsey, on the other hand, made a
decided hit from the start and it was
predicted that he was a fighter who
must be taken into consideration soon
er or later. Under the circumstances
It is not difficult to account for the
strong Dempsey sentiment which
exists here among ring followers, the
majority of whom, as far as can be
determined, believe Dempsey will be
returned the victor after his meeting
with the persent champion. Those
who favor Willard continue to point
to his great bulk rather than to his
fighting ability which latter however,
they say undoubtedly has improved
through experience since he fought
here.
FRE SERVICE MEN
GET INDEMNITY OF $50
4*
PARIS, June 10 (by Associated
Press).—Every French soldier or
sailor who has been called to the
colors has a right to an indemnity on
being demobilized, or released from
service. This indemnity has been
fixed by a law at $50 for every man
who has served for at least three
months between August 2, 1914, and
the date of the signature of peace. In
addition to this fixed sum, $3 will be
paid for each month’s service.
NOTICE
Acting under instructions from
Charles E. Herron, owner of the Her
ald Publishing Co., the Cordova Sun
day Herald has been suspended.
This action is taken, not because of
the lack of support, but chiefly by
reason of the difficulty in obtaining
competent help. The Sunday Herald
was a paying publication and it is
with regret that the paper is sus
pended.
All outstanding bills will be paid by
the undersigned and money paid for
advance subscriptions will be re
funded.

MINOR LEAGUE NOT
LIKELY TO LAST LONG
SAN FRANCISCO, June 11 (by As
sociated Press).—The Central Califor
nia Baseball league evidently is not
the success which was expected by its
promoters as there are well defined
rumors that the schedule of games
will not be played out. It Is expected
the teams in the league will play
independent ball.
One of the principal reasons given
for the lactk of interest in the league
is the fact that the teams are not well
balanced, three of them being so much
superior to the other three that spirit
ed contests are not possible. Crockeet,
PitBburg and Richmond clubs have
won hollow victories from the teams
of Alameda, Bethlehems, Unions and
St. Dominies.
Minor baseball leagues have always
had a hard time existing in the past,
the majority of attempts in this direc
tion in California ending in disappoint
ment.
LOS ANGELES'STORES

ciated Press).—One of the largest de

The managements of several other
.large stores here were said to be con
I sidering similar action.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11 (by As

Francisco bay in a motor boat they
