Fireman Picked by Fans to Take New Year's Day Bout
FAVOR FLYNN TO
WIN FROM CAPONI
Betting Operators Declare Fire
man Two to One Choice.
Dope Justifies Odds
Jim Flynn and Tony C;iponi, princi
pals on tho first card at Vernon Mon
day afternoon, will ease oil
work today und content themsi Ivea
with light exercise until it la time to i
trawl through the ropes. Reports
from Vernon, where the fireman Is
training, and Arcadia, Caponl's strong
hold, ' .ye it that both men are In
prime eonu.tion and will be able to go
alone at a stirring pao
The fans, remembering Flynn's many
sterling battles befon local amli' nces,
are stringing with the Pueblo citizen
to an alarming extent. While some
of the money handlers are calling it
a ton to right proposition, efforts to
get a bet down on Flynn at that price
are unavailing- Two to oik- or ten to six
is much nearer the truth when U comes
to wagering, but at any price Caponl I
coin is not abundant.
While Los Angeles ring followers
have decided in caucus that Flynn Is
tlif logical choice of the talent, his
opponent of Monday has such a recom
mend him. In his Oakwoml quarters
tin: Chicago man has put in grueling
two weeks of work, and i; condition
goes for anything should come through i
with ■■ good account of himself.
(m inn. Flynn figures as far and
away the better of the pair as the)
money marts indicate. Caponl's efforts '
against men his own poundage, such as
.Hilly I'api. ■ and Hugo Kelly were i
when in- met them, resulted in defeat,
and his record shows scarcely a no
tabie achievement while posing as a
middleweight. Flynn, on tin: other
hand, has lost to none but the cream
of the heavyweight brigade, and no i
one anywhere near his heft, with the ,
exception of Sam Langford, can point i
to where the fireman was on a decided I
loser's end. Caponl followers' only twist
ot the records to favor their man
might lie in the fact that he bested
Montana Jack Sullivan, while Flynn: 1
lost a. newspaper decision to the same
lighter.
Tile bout between Young Rivers and
Billy Cappelle will be of ic4ual Interest
in many with the main event. These | |
boys have been trying to get at each
other for the past year, and Cappelle
believes lie will be able to show the
fans he has greatly improved and will
be there at the finish with the victor's i
crown.
This bout will lead off the program,
which will be started at 2 o'clock
p omptly, and if Rivers and Cappelle i '
go the limit of fifteen rounds Flynn ;
and Caponi will go on immediately, as !
thirty-live rounds are about ull that .
can be pulled off before dark. If the
first bout is shortened by a knockout a
four round contest will be inserted into j .
the program.
Seats for the Monday contest are on '
sale at Greenewald's. Reservations
have been large and the sale so far
}i;is exceeded the estimate which the , I
Club made for the initial showing.

ESTOPPEY ON LAST LAP
OF ENDURANCE CONTEST
VENICE, Dec. —Eugene Es
toppey has passed his 985 mile
post in his endeavor to run 1000
miles in as many consecutive
hours. A slight cold has been
bothering the endurance marvel
and today he took things as
easily as circumstances would
permit, preferring to rest up and
finish with a burst Of speed. To
morrow night at 12 o'clock ho
will be on the last lap, and in
dications are that a record crowd
will be on hand to see him com
plete his task. Estoppey has al
ready surpassed previous rec
ords for feats of the kind and is
still strong. He has lost but
two pounds since starting, and
aside from the cold, which was
contracted when he was forced
to run out of doors Tuesday
night while the Multnomah ball
was being held in the dance hall,
shows little signs of his long
siope.
A.A.U. DECLINES ISSUE
WITH RESEARCH SOCIETY
Talk of War Between Two Or
ganizations Quieted by Sul
livan's Friendly Stand
NEW YORK, Pec. 30.— War between the
Amateur Athletic union nnd the Athletic Re
search society Is unlikely. according to A. A.
U. officials today. The alms of both organisa
tions ore similar, it Is raid, and there Is no
cause for a clash.
The A A. U. Is willing, Its officials state,
that athletic federation brunches established
by the research society compete among them
selves without A. A. r. registration. The
only compulsory registration would be for
athletes ring to compete in A. A. r. open
events.
James E. Sullivan, secretary of the A. A.
I". says the effect of the society to promote
Inter! I in athletics among voting people all
over the country met with the approval of
his organization.
"It Is .i good thing for sport and the re
search society Is now starting to do what the
A. .', U. has been doing fur the last twenty
years," said Mi Sullivan, "it" the society
succeeds In massing all the churches, schools,
settlements, playgrounds and similar associa
tions under one great head it will be a great
move. The A. A. V, will Live all possible
aid and It will be a splendid thing for us."

ST. liOIHS, Dec 80.—Secretary A. L. I.ans
trey of th« American Bowling congress, who
is in SI Louis to assist in the arrangements
for the national tournament next month, says
he will decline re-election to the office if he
Is required to devote all bis time to the posi
tion, as will be necessary, according to a pro
posed amendment.
It Is plajmed to vote on an amendment
railing for an increase of the secretary's
.'alary to $ •■-' a year with 1500 annually for

MACE PROVIDES
TOURNEY THRILLS

Easy Time in Winning

open and college singlet proved the feature of
the second days teuton of the Mt. Washing

It was a case of Occidental against I*. B. C.

Occidental scored another triumph over 1".

SAN PEDRO COMMITTEE
DEMANDS CITY WATER
Mass Meeting Held Because
Pre-Consolidation Pledges
Are Not Carried Out
Municipal water is wanted at Sun Pedro
right away and a committee of three, ap
pointed at a mass meeting held at the har
bor yesterday, appeared before the board of
public works and demanded that something
be done.
They claim that one of the pre-consolldatlon
pledges was that San Pedro should havo a
municipally owned water plant and that the
water rates would bo no higher than in other
parts of the city. But they say that the Ban
Pedro Water company, a private concern, still
is furnishing water and that the citizens of
San Pedro are paying this company $6000
mure a year than was paid before consolida
tion.
The board of public works has no Jurisdic
tion over the matter and referred it to the
city council.
The Han Pedro committee was also per-
bed 'about the municipal ferry. The plan
for the ferry is for only one boat and they
want two bo they can have a half-hour service
instead of hourly. The board promised that
as soon as the experiment were found suc
cessful with one beat another would be put
on, ami It Is believed that the two boats will
be self-sustaining.

Show and Admire Extraordi
nary Display of Machines
lii point of attendance lost night was the)
best of tho great auto show at Fiesta park.
its ninny attractions have been heralded so
broadly by the press and visitors that there
Is not a nook or corner of Southern California

not known. 7*
Believing that the great show would come to
a. close tonight, more than 8000 persons availed
themselves of the chance last night to visit
tills greatest of motor car attractions that ha«

since motor cars were Invented. The Impor
tunltlt-s of hundreds to the management that
the show be kept open another week, that
thousands of tourists and visit. now In the

an opportunity of seeing the grand display,
has finally mat with the management's con
sent. For one more week the great tent win
welcome other thousands who want to see
much that Is newest and best In mutordom.
HARMONY AMONG! EXHIBITORS
A commendable feature of this great show
is the unanimity with which all exhibitors
want the public'! approval for the show at
large, and not In boosts for nny particular
exhibit. With this in view they havo agreed
to report no more show sales nor ask for
press publicity as Individuals. The show Is so
big mid so magnificent that In Itself It at
tracts patronage, and tho educational feature*
are apparent. Bo many types of motor car
construction ntv shown under this big canvas
that It Is hard for the general public to
assimilate much of the explanations and 4 dem
onstrations given; but It is easy by compari
son, seeing these cars side by side, to deter
mine, Just what style will best suit the pur
chaser's fancy.
The working mechanical, parts that are
shown In so many of the exhibits continue
to attract the most attention; and particularly
Is this so of the accessor!' lines. Oils, mag
netos, lights, tires, rims and other parts are
exhibited in a number of booths, and explan
atory printed matter Is given away by the
thousands of leaflets and booklets. The giving
hi souvenirs Is barred by the show manage
