SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 21. — The
two heavyweight boxers, Jess Willard
and Frank Moran, continue to receive
but scant courtesy at the hands of
sporting writers on the Pacific slope.
Both of them have boxed In this city,
and the exhibitions they put up were
more or less the laughing stock of
• regular ring followers. That they
have improved some in the past year
, or two is not denied, but when pro-;
| motors talk of charging from $5 to
t $25 to see them in action over only;
f ten rounds, the local sporting men are
| willing to concede the palm for en-'
f thusiasm, or whatever else it may be.
f to their eastern brothers who are
[ willing to pay the price.
[ Not one man in ten here, It is said,
L expects any result from r. ten round !
L bout As far ^ts the temper of the;
t California ring follower is concerned.
J nothing less than twenty rounds to a
1 decfsion will satisfy them. Few look ;
» for a knockout in ten rounds, the
> only way in which the championship
, over that did stand under the no-de
cision rule, can change hands.
Tf the comments of the baseball |
fans are worth anything, it does not
appear that Managers Berry and Me
Creedie, of the San Francisco and
Portland teams of the Pacific ('oast
league, have done themselves or the
league any good by their quarrel over
the question of whether or not Berry
is financially interested in more than
one team on the circuit.
With the financial and commercial
side of all professional sports, espee
iiallv boxing and baseball, coming more ;
and more to the front, there seems
to he an unmistakable feeling of re
vulsion against all these business de
tails on the part of the public, which
primarily is interested in the sport
itself. Sporting writers have not
, minced words in the matter of the
Berry McCreedip quarrel, which they
have condemned as injurious to the
game on the coast. With thp bicker
ing over the monthly salary limit fin
ally settled, the hope is expressed that
baseball and not soiled linen will he
offered the baseball public.
The Pacific coast is not alone In be
moaning the decadence of boxing.
From New York, where the sport is
within the law. comes the report that
j interest In the game has increased so
noticeably this winter that many of
’ the promoters have become alarmed.
, According to the figures reported
j from Albany, the state’s share of the
tax from the boxing clubs Is only hnlf
| what it was a year ago. Chairman F.
A. Wenck. of the state athletic com
mission, is quoted as saying that the
dearth of new faces in the t'lng, and
the law prohibiting decisions, are the
principal reasons for the condition of
affairs.
California boxers doubtless have
been made acquainted with the fact
for the reason that a number of them
already have invaded the Atlantic
state, where they are said to have
been well received, and are doing well.
Willie Meehan, a local heavyweight.
with a considerable local reputation
as a laugh provoker, has taken well
with the eastern fans, not only by rea
son of Ids antics in the ring, but be
cause tie has decisively beaten the
men who have been matched against
him.
* Speaking of the prevailing hard
times for the boxing sport, the follow
ing item from a Seattle paper is en
lightening:
"The snow lias been a Oodsend to
many four round fighters who appear
in local smokers. When the first call
for men to shovel snow was sent out
the ring artists responded, and many
of our most promising pugilistic
lightweights are now performing the
first work they ever did in their
lives.”

PARTS. Feb. 21. — French aviation
authorities agree that Germany has ^
been able to entirely transform Its
avintion service since the war began,
making improvements of a most im
portant character, while it possessed
certain advantages over the French ,
flying corps at the outset.
The reasons for the superiority of
the Germans In what was considered
before the war a French specialty will j
perhaps become public in the parlia-|
mentary debate that is imminent.
One aviator attributes the difference
to the fact that while the French fol
lowed aviation as a sport, the Ger
mans took it up seriously for practi
cal application to the requirements
of the army. He points out that the
Germans were flying at night long
before the war began, while the
French began their nocturnal trips
only after the was was several months
old.

FOUGHT IN THE
CIVIL 1H
BERNE, Switzerland. Feb. 21.—Emil ‘
Frey, former president of Switzerland,
is one of the notable men of the coun
try who, since retiring from the pres
idency. has become head of the in
ternational union by which the tele
graph, cable and wireless systems of
the world are regulated at this cen
tral point. But while Mr. Frey has
risen to the highest office in his own
country, he feels that he is about half
American, for he was in the American
Civil war from start to finish as a
member of an Illinois regiment, was
captured at Gettysburg and held as a
prisoner for fifteen months at Rich
mond, met and krtew' such war figures
as Grant, Sheridan. Lee and Long
street, and later on returned to Wash
ington as Sw iss minister, where he re
newed the acquaintance with Sheridan
and others made in war days.
SERB ARCHIVES,
BUDAPEST, Feb. 21. — Notwith
standing the utmost efforts of the Ser
bians to rescue all their archives,
those belonging to the ministry of
state have been captured by the Aus
trians and taken to Vienna. The dis
covery of the important documents is
due to an Austrian lied Cross nurse.
During the Austrian crossing of the
Save river, the general staff of one
division Quartered itself in an old
cloister inhabited by a monk, and an
Austrian nurse, who had been cap
tured by the Serbians and forced by
them to cook at the cloister. She had
been there three months, site told the
officers.
Just after her arrival, she said, a
huge motor truck rolled up one night.
It was manned by fleeing Serbians,
who forced those in the house into a
room and locked them in for six hours.
When they were released, motor truck
and the huge cases it had contained,
had disappeared. The nurse was sure
the truck had been unloaded at the
cloister.
The general staff immediately be
gan an Investigation of the premises.
In the wine cellar they finally came
on traces of newly turned earth. When
they excavated at this point they
found 64 cases containing nil the state
t - ' ' » k
archives.
