BOTH READY TO
FIGHT FOR LIFE
WELSH AND BROCK;HARD TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN
ODQS PROBABLY WILL FAVOR
|||f ■ THE LATTER
Englishman, However, .Haa Unques.
tionably Good Record, la Clever
Boxer and Is Thought to
■ Possess Good Punch
Freddie Welsh and Phil Brock will
it both let up on their training stunts
j_today: and from mow until they meet
?in v Jeffries' Vernon arena Saturday
f afternoon the crack lightweights will
take it easy at their respective camps.
The weight question is all to the merry
and neither the English boy nor Brock
will by any possibility have to give
I* up any; forfeit money because of in
.'ability ;to scale within the 133-pound
As the date for the battle approaches
the fans display more interest In the
I meeting and Indications point to a full
house. In addition to the class of
both j the main event and the prelim
inary the fact that it is an afternoon
I affair' and on a holiday will doubtless
help the club management, and every
.arrangement is being made to handle
a large crowd. A.A' -T _.
-"•■• The fans seem to be having a hard
y time :In • sizing up the English boys
j ability, for despite the Interest dis-
I played betting on the affair with Brock
is comparatively light. Thousands of
enthusiasts have visited Welsh s camp
• during the time he has been holding
forth at the South Side Athletic club,
and they generally go away with vary
ing opinions.
.■-■ To some Welsh is a clever boxer,
with all kinds of defensive ability, but
not much of a wallop. Others look
I on him as possessor of a. shifty punch
- which will - settle the best of . them
when handled right and .predict dire
things if either his right or left con
' nect.s with a vulnerable part of Brock s
'. anatomy.'-.,-' '.',..-.* ,
A Welsh Shows Up Well
Judging from his workouts, Freddie
appears to be - a lightweight of no
mean caliber. Throwing aside his rec
ord, which can compare favorably with
any of them, and using his workouts
I as a basis' of opinion, he seems to be
' apt at any kind of going made by his
I opponent. ■: A; •, ul.', . .
While undoubtedly clever, Welsh has
the punch all right, as has been at
tested time and again on Peter Sulli
. van, 5 his sparring partner. The Fall
River boy is a tough fighting machine,
yet in , nearly every exchange with
Freddie he has been punctured and
usually has bled profusely at the nose
: and ears. ":".' ,'AA '• , ,
Brock's two appearances in a local
' arena left a favorable Impression with
the • fistic experts, and he will doubt
less go Into the ring a slight favorite
-over his English opponent. Whipping
Kid Dalton and George Memslc with-
I out being In the least distressed, made
the Clevelander solid with the Los An
geles fans, and, despite the fact that
I Welsh gave Packey McFarland the
I time of his life in Milwaukee a few
''months ago and that he has also
;; whipped tome of the best lightweights
in the east, they fancy Brock in the
'■'■ betting.
Peter Sullivan and Kid Dalton, who
S will mingle in a fifteen-round go prior
to the main event Saturday afternoon,
i will also knock off training today and
'follow the example of the topliners on
i the Jeffries club card. Much Interest
- is being displayed in the mill, for
should Dalton win the followers of the
1 game here would gladly pay big money
to see him in a main event.
• Sullivan lias been out of the pre
liminary class for years, but his de-
I sire to ' show the local bugs his real
I caliber caused him to take a secondary
| place In the program and engage In
the curtain raiser. He Is confident of
'winning, and already talks of training
for the fight with Frank Carsey, which
Manager Long has promised the win

TOM LONGBOAT IS BARRED
FROM MARATHON RACE
NEW YORK, May 26.—Tom Long
boat, the great Indian long distance
runner, has lost all chance of competing
in the Marathon race in London this
summer. A.
Word lias been received from the
London committee in charge of the j
great meeting that the Indian's entry ;
would be rejected, no matter what as
sociation vouched for his amateur
standing. The committee was moved '■
to take this action by the fact that |
Longboat recently ran a ten-mile race
against a horse in Canada.
Now that the English committee has
taken action with regard to Longboat j
the American athlete authorities are
wondering what will happen in the case
of P. J. Sullivan of the Irish-American
Athlli, club, who «so ran a race with
a horse, a few days ago. It is the gen
eral opinion, however, "that Sullivan
will be allowed to compete if he makes
the American team, for his case Is dif
ferent from that of Longboat. y • -,

BARRON MAKES GOOD
RECORD ALTER BASS
LIGHT TACKLE SHARK GETS
FINE CATCH Ay
Three-Six Gear Followers Have Rec.
ord to Eclipse—Sport Improves ."
. Since Seining Waa X
Stopped
Light tackle * angling experts who
limit themselves to the three-sir gear
required by the Catallna and South
Coast Three-Six clubs now have a new
record 'to fish at, and incidentally the
feasibility of the six-foot six-ounce rod
and six-thread line for white sea bass
fishing has • been demonstrated by
actual practice, as its admirers al
ready have demonstrated It In theory.
Samuel A. Barron, a mining man
from, Mexico, who has been passing
several weeks at Catallna island fishing
daily, writes to A. M. Morse of the
Western Hardware and Arms company
a, very interesting letter telling, of the
capture of five of these fine game fish
upon this latest refinement of the light
tackle Idea. Barron has been trying to
qualify for the Three-Six club, having
Started In ■ with heavy tackle, then
going to the ' nine-ounce nine-strand
combination and finally, after seeing
Messrs. Potter and Hedderly fast to
big fish on three-six, bought a Shaver
six-ounce rod and a Vom Hofe special
six-strand,line, with which he accom
plished his latest feat. He writes that
he has not yet qualified by taking an
eighteen-pound yellowtail, his biggest
missing the mark by Just half a pound,
but on May 25 he took five white sea
bass of from twenty-five to forty
pounds weight,' one* weighing 32%, and
now claims the world's three-six rec
ord, which he unquestionably has thus
far. He had a yellowtail on and up to
the boat which looked all of thirty
pounds, but it was lost In gaffing.
Barron will • remain two months
longer on the • strength of the catch.
He has been - using the large 7B size
Wilson spoon trolling for yellowtail
with good success on nine-ounce
tackle. A
Tomorrow Simon Spier will leave for
the island, and a large number of local
experts will go Saturday to stay over
the holiday, among them being Thomas
McD. Potter, Edwin L. Hedderly, Os
car Baer and A. M. Morse. The fish
ing Is getting better rapidly at the
Island, and the prospect of white sea
bass has Improved' materially since the
seining was stopped at the isthmus and
other points. The rapid improvement
In the sport is considered significant,
Indeed, and sportsmen feel convinced
that It proves they were correct In
charging the poor fishing to the Indis
criminate and illegal use of nets, else
the sport would not have responded so
quickly to an abatement of the nui
sance. ■« -• A-." '•-' .'•'■

CATCHES BIG SURE FISH
AT HUNTINGTON BEACH
Anglers Report Good Run of Corblna
- and Yellowfina—Might Have
Captured Rod and
Reel Prize
Fisherman's • bad luck for nearly a
week was turned into fisherman's good
luck at Huntington : Beach yesterday,
and well filled baskets was the rule
and two record catches were made. ■■
From Thursday of last week up to
yesterday the fishing was miserably
poor at Huntington and the attendance
at this home of the silver surf and the
yellowfin has been wretched.
Yesterday nine fishermen braved the
bad luck sign hanging over the en
trance to the pier and tackled the Job
of breaking the hoodoo.
It was true that the bad luck pre
dominated and that the good luck came
in thin streaks as to time, but when
the catches were made , they were all
good ones.
From 6:30 o'clock, which was flood
tide, until 9 o'clock, at the turn, the
fishing was fair. ,; Several good catches
of surf ranging in weight from ten
ounces to two pounds were made.
At 1 o'clock, when the tide turned
again, the fish began . biting and the
nine anglers on the wharf were kept
busy for a few. minutes. Then there
was a dull period of more than thirty
minutes when not a nibble was had.
Then the fish began biting again, and
up to 2 o'clock some remarkable catches
were made. , • - - ■'--■ , ■
In that period Fred Woolover had
caught the biggest corblna of the sea
son, taking a fish ■ weighing nine
pounds four ounces, and a few minutes
later a yellowfin weighting five pounds
ten ounces. '••■.- -
Did Mr. Woolover belong to the
Southern California Rod and Reel club
he would undoubtedly, carry off both
prises offered by that organization for
the big catches In these classes.
Twenty-one. other corblna ranging In
weight from one pound (to three pounds
were taken during the afternoon and
eleven yellowfin ' weighing up to three
pounds. '"'' •

White Sea Baas Fishing ,; Ruined .by
Violatora of State Seining Lawa A
Claim Boatmen of A
"/',' Catalina A,;,,;.;, *'■...
EDWIN F. HEDDERLY
Nothing that has happened In several
years has ? given 'I the Catallna anglers
so i much real I satisfaction! as J Deputy
Game Warden' Brewster's arrest of j the
crew of the fishing; launch Lucy . for
violating the state | seining law. y Com
plaint has been frequent, -nearly every
boat that has gone up to the Isthmus
from Avalon reporting trouble with the
seines that have been set off the main
land around Ship rock and : off John
son's. Some of the boatmen have gone
bo far as to assert that these Bet nets
constitute a * distinct menace 'to navi
gation, being apt to foul the propeller
of a launch, so that she becomes un
manageable, and Is apt to go onto the
reef. Most of the boatmen and sports
men rest their case on an entirely dif
erent ground. The ruining of the white
sea bass fishing Is their chief cause of
complaint. ' , A -"■ A A
Of all the myriad kinds of fish that
throng Catalina's teeming waters there
Is none ' that quite takes the place of
the white sea bass In the estimation of
those who know him. Of large size, and
beautiful both In coloring and form, as
well as the best of ■ the big fish < for
table use, the white ' bass puts up a
particularly sporting fight upon . light
tackle. ■. He does not sound to the
depths, as does the big yellowtail or
the two kinds of tuna,, but wages a
brilliant surface battle featured by
long runs, • during which the fish fre
quently rises after the style of a hooped
salmon, sometimes even breaking -at
the surface, often being plainly visible.
As big fish go, the white bass Is not
particularly I desctructlve to ;■ tackle or
hard to land, but he Is a pleasing varie
ty from the usual • run iof yellowtail
and the, other deep sounding fishes.
Perhaps the chief difficulty Is the bass'
love of kelp and reefs, about «which
he generally Is taken. , The experts cap
ture him en nine-thread line and nine
ounce rod, and In clear water there Is
no reason why with patient, careful
handling a bass of goodly proportions
could not be led to gaff even upon the
frail three-six gear of the thirty-third
degree anglers. .A AAA
Resort to Illegal Methods
Such is a brief sketch of the splendid
game fish that the professionals have
been resorting to Illegal methods 'to
drive away from - Catallna by setting
nets in chain and moored, contrary to
law. Is It to.be wondered ,that lively
appreciation has greeted Mr. Brew
ster's efforts to end the illegal deple
tion of the white sea bass supply? V
About May 1 the white sea bass ap
pear above the Isthmus at . the north
ern extremity of Catallna, and steadily
work down to the southerly end of the
island, presumably to spawn there In
some force, the unspent fish ■ striking
across the channel to I Clemente. ,The
cause of this migration is theory; the
migration, however, Is a fact estab
lished to the satisfaction of every man
experienced In Catallna angling. -,"'
Off the northeastern face of the Island
lies a jagged pinnacle of rock called,
from its fancied resemblance to a ship.
Ship rock. Between it and the main
land, half a mile away, extends a long
reef, sovered with kelp, which at high
water Is down bo that It is hard to lo
cate the rocks by It. ', Over this reef,
particularly at Its west end,: Is . the
white sea bass country par excellence.
Here the market fishermen for weeks
had been setting their nets, anchoring
and buoying them, and tleing one \to
the other In a'chain extending from the
mainland out to Ship rock and inter
cepting the stream of . white sea bass
that at this season flow, down the shore
of the Island, giving good sport all the
way. It Is not the net catch that has
done the mischief, but rather the shunt
ing off Into the sea of the white sea
bass schools, • which appear to have
skirted: the ■ Island , completely, only
touching In at Silver canyon where one
of the boatmen got fifteen one day last
week. ', • ,-t. 4 y
Yields Good Sport
This generally is conceded to be the
last station on the white sea bass, itin
erary before crossing the channel to
Clemente, . hence > the lamentations of
the fishermen who visit Avalon. The
fish may yet yield some sport during
this and next month, but the best 'of
the season necessarily Is gone. ■ y *

RUGBY FOR NEXT YEAR
New Material Will Be Needed, aa Old
Players;: Graduate This Year. A
Team Has Good
■ . .<,-', Proapecta tfellllll
Hard work Is 'before Coach Thomp
son of the ' Polytechnic ' high*, school 'In
his ; efforts to tujn j out a ) crack j rugby
football team next year at Polytechnic,
where the former Stanford star in the
American game Is; handling " the grid-
Iron aspirants. j It will be necessary,
according .to " present . indications, to
form an almost 7 entirely now . team,
though a few of the old men will be
left as a nucleus around •- which yto
build ; the team of .1909. Most of the
good men who made the team one of
the best . high school rugby organiza
tions in the soutn last year will be
lost through graduation, while a few
will not return, although their term
of school is not completed. As a whole
the outlook cannot be called encourag
ing, but as ' the game Is new, in the
south, and It will take time to put it
on a solid footing In any 1 Institution,
the manual school lads are ; not losing
heart. . ','".-, .'■• '-A --,' "<'■•
It has been definitely decided, largely
through faculty Influence, that the
game to be played by Polytechnic next
year will be only rugby. Despite the
results of the last year, when - the
Southern California fans and athletes
showed themselves overwhelmiifgiy In
favor •of the American i game as , op
posed to the rugby style of play, the
manual lads have decided to stick to
the English game, and they will not
put' out ' an' American football . team.
This is to be regretted, as the last year
in which Polytechnic appeared on the
gridiron In the game played by all the
larger - schools' of i the , south she more
than held her own.
Coach Thompson, backed by '.'_ the
faculty, ; however, . believes that rugby
has come to stay. ; He voices the be
lief that the season of last year was
highly successful and Is looking ■ for
ward to an ■ extension' of the English
style of play next season. -.-y'y <-
The Polytechnic. coach expects Ato
turn out a first class team next year,
one which will give : a good; account
of itself against • any . high : school -In
the south. There Is Indicated an abun
dance of new material • which, - with
the remaining members of .the old
guard, - will be sufficient to give the
team a good start when training be
gins in the fall.
.Of the old men, Henrlcksen, F. Rick
ershauser and Price still will be on the
line. The team will lose C. Rlcker
shauser, Fallow and Smith. In the
back, of the line . many new men will
have to-be broken In. Malone will
graduate this year and Robertson and
Yerkes, two of Poly's most dependable
players,' also will be missing, as they
will leave school next month. | Pierce,
Strang and i Rowell are the only men
who will :, be i present In the back field
when time Is called for the first game
next year. :•>• - i.' *
This school is the only large school
in the south to stick to the rugby style
of play. Strenuous efforts on the part
of , followers of the new ' game ,: to fol
low the example of the northern uni
versities and substitute rugby for the
American game among • the Southern
California , colleges and high i schools
met with • a fiat failure. . Los Angeles
high, Throop, Harvard, Pasadena high,
Whlttler and all the larger Institutions,
with this single exception, stuck to the
old American » game,,: and - the > season
has brought I the ■ familiar, old plays, In
even' more popular favor, after several
of the examples of rugby given In | the
south last ' year. •'■. There are • already
signs that several: of „ the , smaller
schools . which " last year ' played rugby
will return to the American game this
season. <i_t ,',-" '-.- A «-
BRITISH FIGHTERS ARE : aa{
SLOW TO ! GET STARTED
To those who have seen most of the
English fighters who have come to this
side -It Is no .mystery that ; American
fighters are so vastly superior to their
British confreres. The average British
pugilist as he shapes up for a fight
looks as though' he were posing for a
picture of Jem Mace or one of the other
of those old timers. They are willing to
fight,* but by the time they are limbered
up ' the " whirlwind ,'■' Americans t. have
whipped them. Jack : Kllleen, ; Charley
Harvey's Irish welterweight, Is a case
in point. He ' recently ._ fought Johnny
Carroll. 7:Kllleen had the best intentions
of putting 'his iman ; away, and ,by all
rights he should have been able to do
It _ easily, , for he was ;at least fifteen
pounds heavier than Carroll. ' However,
he was * under the handicap 'of boxing
as it Is taught and understood I on! the
other side, and when he added to this
a certain uncertainty of . aim jhe • was
easy for Carroll. A •'£ *','<■?:'*■?'■ ■"■.'.■.'■','
