FIGHT GAME BELIEVEP
DOOMED IN CALIFORNIA
- . a.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28.—There
is every indication ‘oday that the
prize-fighting game is going into the
California state election in the fall
ajiready licked. The proposition
which, if it passes, will put the sport
down for the count, Is hot up to the
legislature, but to the voters them
selves. It Is on the ballot as an- In
itiative measure and if a consensus
of opinion signifies anything, the ma
jority in its favor is a certainty. The
fight promoters themselves show no
enthusiasm in opposing It. Either
they have already grown rich enough
and are ready to retire or they con
sider their cause hopeless, but not
a word are they saying against' the
abolition of the fighting craft
throughout the state. In fact, they
say opehly that they think 1914 will
see the last ring battle in California,
until another election at any rate.

Russia Wants To Fight—Germans Withdraw Money From
Banks—Great Britain Will Be Involved,

land’s proposal for mediation, Aus
tria this afternoon declared war on
Servia. The formal declaration was
made as soon as the five army divis
ions reached the frontier. It has been
reported that three divisions of the
army have occupied Belgrade, the
former capital of Servia.
England’s Fleet Mobilizing

recalled from detached service and

rons will concentrate at Dover. The

trate at Gibraltar and at Malta.
Germany Refuses Mediation.
Sir Edward Grey has received a'
note from the German ambassador
stating that Germany refuses the of
fer of England for mediation and that
they would aid Austria under the
agreement of the treaty binding Ger
many, Austria and Italy.
England Must Fight.

England, Russia and France, England
will be forced to aid Russia in the

here that Austria will strike at Ser
via today, sending the first troops
over the border to capture Belgrade,
which has been evacuated by King
Peter and his army because of the
inability of the Servians to fortify the
town. Every effort is being made
by the English foreign office to pre
vent the war which threatens the
peace of Europe and which is al
most certain to involve the nations
of the world in the bloodiest war
since the days when Napoleon went
in for the conquest of Europe.

Sir Edward Grey has proposed to
the powers that France, Germany,
Italy and England offer to mediate

on Servia will be war upon Russia
and that the Russian trooi>s have
been ordered to cross the line into
Austria when the Austrians cross in
to Servia. It is reported here that
•an entire division of Russian troops
have been sent from Odessa across
Roumania, which is under Russian
control, and into Servia to aid the
Slavs in the present tight so that Aus
tria may not commence the war with
victory, it is believed here that the
withdrawal of the .Servians from the
border and into the mountains is for
the purpose of allowing the Russians
and Greeks to reach Servia and aid
in the fight.
Would Limit War to Austria and
Servia.
Sir Edward Grey also proposed
that the powers make every effort
to limit the war between Austria
and Servia and to prevent the Rus
sians, Germans and French from be
coming involved. The outlook, how
ever, is doubtful.

is allowed to enslave the entire Slav
race.
