FIGHT TALK
IS ABUNDANT
MNY MATCHES MENTIONED BY I
MANAGER McCAREY
h-fIOMAS AND KETCHELL MAY BE
NEXT BIG CARD
[AHe Attell Also Slated for Go with
I Either Weekes or Driscoll.
Gossip of Local
Ring
J»ght talk fills the air In Los Angeles
t *c days, and if any one of a dozen
ta^ed-of matches is finally made up the
BFJcwts will have a chance to see some
th ng besides the dub pork and bean af
fa rs which McCarey has been responsible
From 'the looks cf things It Is possible
that Kid Ketchell and Joe Thomas will be
the next big card handed out by the Pa
cific Athlstic club. Thomas and Ketchell
recently fought a draw at Marysville. and
a comeback between them might prove In
teresting. In spite of the draw Thomas
ou«ht to be able to get his opponent, for
heprobably thought he had something
spongy Mlhen he fought him before and did
not train properly.
But If they do get together the fight
Bhould be a good one. According to his
press agent Ketchell had all the best of
thq last mill, and is a tough boy who
can make any of them hump. Thomas
haa whipped them all in the welterweight
brigade, and is Just as much entitled to
the championship as anybody.
Another ticket which McCarey may
spring is Jimmy Burns and some other
good lightweight. On the strength of al
most nothing Burns is running around
telling how he would like to fight (Jans,
and his backers are also tossing off a lot
of bull about being willing to bet real
money on the outcome. Of course Burns
Is entitled to all the space he can get, but
the sports are beginning to get tired of it.
Almost any fighter of no more prominence
than Burns is willing to meet Gans, for in
addition to the small chanco of winning
there is always the short end to consider.
«k£ might be a good idea for McCarey,
since he seems bound in some way to put
up both Tommy and Jimmy Burns, to
give the latter a fight with Packy Mc-
Jj«and. Both Packy and Jimmy whipped
Tsutch Charlla Neary, and from the way
the battles went they ought to bo able to
VBV'up a pretty battle when they get to
gether.
' Able Attell anil Freddie Weekes are also
among the possibilities. Weeks is com
ing right along all the time, and while
1l Wee who have seen Attell polish off
everything he tackled cannot give Weekes
a chance In the ultimate summing up, they
figure he might be able to give Able an
* awful run for the change.
Attell and Driscoll are also on tap, and
may be brought together in Los Angeles.
J^riscoll is the English boy who proved
J|jl " batter in the ring than most of his
gK»ntrymen, and a fight with Attell would
(HI a real test as to how fast and how far
fjMrcan go.
the only match of which McCarey
(¦•kes no mention Is an affair between
HSiar champion Tommy Burns and some-
Wfcere near champion Mike Sehreck. This
«l»t>ne fight that the sports would like to
see, and if McCarey should land It he
•nnjuld play to standing room to a cer
•tMnty.

FITZSIMMONS IS EASILY

EX.CHAMPION FAILS JO LAND
HIS FAMOUS BLOWS
Crowds Sympathize with the Former
Favorite as He Goes Down
and Out in Second
Round
By Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. July 17.-Jack John
son stopped Bob Fltzslmmons in the sec
ond round of a six-round boxing bout bo
fore the Washington Sporting club. Fltz
simmons did not show a trace of his
former prowess, and It Is probable that
Johnson could have stopped him in the
opening round if he had cared to do so.
The blow that put Fltzsimmons out was
a light right to the jaw.
The old man fell to the floor, and as he
made "no attempt to rise the referee
awarded Johnson the bout. The hissing
which usually follows a knockout of this
character was alisent, the spectators evi
dently taking compassion on the former
pugilistic star.
Referee Keenan refused to act In tho
ring because he heard that Fitzsimmons
had a badly sprained arm. The manager
of the club then entered the ring and
watched the uneven match.
In the opening round Johnson tapped
Fltzsimmons when and where he chose,
but the latter was unable to even land his
famous counters.

DOVES THICK BbT
HARD TO GET NEAR
TOO MUCH WATER GIVES BIRDS
GOOD CHANCE
Deer Seen In Vicinity of Verdugo
Canyon and One Is Brought
Down by Young
Nlmrod
Southern California is suffering from an
overabundance of water. At least thlß is
the way hunters who have been out after
the festive dove look at It, and they all
declare that too many water holes and
running streams are responsible for the
scarcity of ltmlt bags.
All over this section of the country the
canyons which are usually dry after the
end of May are filled with water. This
gives the birds plenty of chance to quench
their thirst without picking out any one
watering place, and the result is that
hunters find it much harder to locate their
game.
But the birds nre there all right, and
what little shooting there is comes on a
moat open order. As yet the birds are
comparatively tamo, and do not mind the
guns as much as they will later, and the
field shooting is easy all around.
The deer hunters are also howling about
the superabundance of water in the moun
tains where the big fellows are wont to
congregate. With plenty of water holes
to visit the deer manage to evade their
encmi" s with more than usual success,
and the number of bucks killed this sea
son will undoubtedly fall below that of
other years.
Reports from the scene of activity fail to
tell of any record kills, and about the only
country hereabouts where a deer haw been
toppled over is up around La Canada. A
young fellow named Hall landed a buck
yesterday in the hills back of tho Griffin
ranch, getting it in comparatively open
country.
Henry Stockhrldge of the Burbank also
sighted a small buck in that vicinity yes
terday, but could not get close enough to
try a shot. The animal was in thick
brush, and as Stockbridge's time was lim
ited he could not go after it.
George Cline and Dick Garvey took a
run out to the Garvey ranch Tuesday aft
ernoon to take a try at the doves and mot
with Indifferent success. Cllne's bag was
but six birds, while Garvey fnred but lit
tle better. They say that the birds stay in
the close ouuntry more and don't have to
come out to the water holes as they did
in other seasons.
Birds nre abundant in the country up
above SauRUS, but the distance away from
town keeps the local nimrods from going
after them. The little valleys and flats
which open out of the Santa Monica
mountains are also well stocked, and they
aro visited much moro than the Saugus
fields.
Although the woods are full of game
wardens no arrests have been recorded for
violations of the new license law. The
fact that Count.- Clerk Keyes ran out of
tags Borne time ago does not help matters
much, but the hunters seem willing to
pack around their receipt rather than take
chances on being pinched.
AUTOISTS EXPECT TO

New Jersey Senate May Act Favor

derbilt Race
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 17.— Secretary Fred
erick H. Elliott of the American Automo
bile association, after a conference with

nounced that there would be a Vander

The New Jersey senate meets late this

erence to some opposition that has de
veloped, the race, Mr. Elliott says, will
be held.
"If New Jersey doesn't want the
event," he said, "we will i immediately
consider the proposals that have been
presented for the big test from Cali
fornia, Missouri, . Maryland and Florida.
California, at the present time, is the
most enthusiastic state in the Union for
the race."

Describes Terrible Scene Following
Disaster on Board the Georgia
In Which Nine Men
Lost Their Lives
By Associated Press. I
BOSTON, July 17.— 0n board the
' Georgia in Boston harbor this afternoon
' Capt Henry McCrea told to the Asso
' elated Press the story of the
on board the battleship on Monday
which hns cost the lives of nine men
; of tho fnited States navy and caused
Injury, In some cases probably ratal, to
' thirteen others. Cafct. McCrea said:
•I was on the bridge making tho run
i for the practice. I was taking observa-
I tlons of each shot. As shot after shot
1 was fired from the eight-inch guns I saw
! we were beating the records of tho other
ships ot the fleet. On the bridge I could
: hear tho command from the after tur
ret. So I knew when the next shot was
°"I heard tho shout 'fire, 1 but there was
no shot and then I saw men run aft
and get the lire hose th.it Is always laid
out in readiness whon firing Is going on.
"I rushed to the after bridge near the
turret to see what was the matter. Ihe
water already was being poured Into the
turret. Tho boatswain and Midshipman,
Gravescroat led the way for their men
with the hose. I tell you there was
courage. No man know What had hap
pened nnd no man know into what dan
ger he might be rushing. But eight men
never 'thought of self or of danger. This
brave act will look well on their records.
Bring Out the Dead
"Then they began to bring out the
men One of the tlrst was the one In
whoso hands the powder was when it
flnshod Ho was laid down on top of
the lower turret with a blanket under
his head. I went to him. I could not
recognize him. His hands were burned
to tho bone. The flesh was gone. With
those hands raised above the chest and
the tips of the fingers bent toward each
other I could hear him whisper:
" "Oh, God, Oh, God, Oh, God!' He
could not move his lips enough to utter
other words.
"I bent closer and said to him: 'My
clear fellow, God has henrd your prayer.
He was breathing but in short gasps. He
soon died.
"Tho men were brought out as fast as
they could be taken from the turret.
Most of them felt relief as soon as they
got to tho open air. The gases from
smokeless powder are terrible. That's
what kills. The external burns are hid
eous, but to breath that stuff is fatal.
One Man Escapes
"One man in that turret was not hurt,
Midshipman Kimball, and I do not un
derstand how he .could have escaped.
He helped take out the men. He, too,
showed grit after the shock he had met.
"Lieut. Goodrich set an example to his
men that none but a courageous officer
could set when he plunged right into
the flame and gases to lead the way to
safety. I told his father, Rear Admiral
Goodrich, that it was such officers as he
that make a great navy. His example
will not be forgotten. After he got to
the deck he threw himself overboard. If
our launch had not been near by on Its
return from the examination of targets
he would have been drowned.
"Probably one act of ono of the men
prevented a far greater disaster. I don't
know his name. He Is dead. Ho and
one other stood by the second gun that
had Just been loaded. The last powder
bag that had been put in was protrud
ing a little from the gun. When he saw
the flash, Instead of dashing for the lad
der to save himself, he crowded home the
charge in the gun and with the help of
other men got the gun closed before
the flame reached the bag.
Gave Life for Others
"If the flame had touched the bag there
would have been an awful explosion, for
the powder was confined in the gun and
would not have flashed as the other did,
but would have exploded. Not a man in
the tunet would have been left alive and
other damage might have been done.
That man gave his life for others.
"I am told President Roosevelt has In
quired about a man that gave his life in
closing the shutter from the ammuni
tion room to save tho ship from blowing
up. It would be very wrong to have a
story like that go out, because I can
not find that there is any foundation for
it, or any need for any man to make an
attempt to do anything of the sort, but
if the president wants heroism let him
look up this brave man who stood by
his gun to save the rest.
"Since wo went back to the target
grounds the men have been shooting
better than before the accident. We
haven't finished practice and we are go
ing back to the targets and break the
record." f
Inquiry Board Acts
The national hoard of Inquiry appointed
to investigate the cause of the explosion
on last Monday visited the United States
naval hospital at Chelsea today to take
the depositions of the Injured men.
The board of inquiry is composed of
Capt. Seaton Schrooder of tho battleship
Virginia. Capt. W. W. Kimball of the bat
tleship Now Jersey, Lieutenant Comman
der Mark Bristol, chief ordnjfnee officer of
the fleet, and Lieut. Kenneth Castleman,
attached to the flagship Virginia. The
hoard carefully inspected the turret in
which the explosion occurred and took the
evidence of such officers and men as aro
familiar with conditions about the turret
at the time and who witnessed the affair.
The Georgia steamed up the harbor this
afternoon and the board transferred its
inquiry to the naval harbor at Chelsea.
Owing to the critical condition of the In
jured men In the hospital, four of whom
it was feared might not survive the night,
the surgeons in charge permitted the
board to examine only three of the Injured
men.
Among the naval officers of tho fleet
there is a growing sentiment to reject th«
theory that the powder was set afire by a
stray spark from the funnels of the ship.
It is known that the crew of tho after
superimposed turret had an Intense zeal to
become the crack crew of the fleet, and it
is thought that overzealousness and disre
gard of precaution in rapid handling of
the guns might have caused the tragedy,
the explosion being due possibly to un
turned grains of powder in the breech
igniting the bag of powder.
Tonight it was learned that the dead
seaman" known as George Miller enlisted
under an assumed name. His right name
was Benjamin Krelger. He left his home
in Brooklyn and enlisted in the navy. His
mother Is believed to be either in Los
Angeles or some place in Georgia.

JONATHAN CLUB
MAY HAVE RIVAL
OVERLANDER6 NOW SEEKING
NEW QUARTERS
Chamber of Commerce Building) Such
Only in Name, Now Approach.
ing Completion, May Be
Used
Pasadena Agency.
7 North Raymond Avenue,
/ Phones: Sunset 1807, Home 2124.
PASADENA, July 17.— There is now a
movement on foot to make the top floor of
the new Chamber of Commerce building
headquarters for the Overland club, the
fashionable organization of South Euclid
avenue. At a meeting of the directors of
the club tonight a proposition from the
owners of the building will be submitted
and considered.
Pasadena club members have in mind
the luxurious quarters of the millionaire
Jonathan club of Los Angeles on the top
floor of the Huntington building, and
think they have something as nice here.
Many new members have been added to
the Overlanders in the past few months
and the need of more room than the pres
ent quarters afford is now apparent.
In the new building there would be
ample room and a magnillcent outlook
over tho San Gabriel valley and the moun
tains.
Pasadona's tallest building, the Chamber
of Commerce on -East Colorado street, is
approaching completion. Ono of the four
store rooms on the ground floor is already
occupied by the Kacket store. Plastering
in the office rooms on the upper floors is
nearly done.
This will be much the largest and most
expensive office building in Easadena. It
is built on a lot 117x1123 feet in size, front
ing Colorado street and Broadway, at the
northwest corner of these two central
streets.
It is a steel frame and pressed buff brick
structure, six stories high, with four store
rooms and 200 offices, and Is being erected
at a cost of $300,000.
While this is known as the Chamber of
Commerce building and is being erected
by a corporation chartered as tho Cham
ber of Commerce company it is a private
enterprise, having nothing whatever to do
with a local chamber of commerce. The
board of trade and the Merchants' asso
ciation, which represent what a chamber
of commerce would stand for in Pasadena,
have leased and nicely fitted up commo
dious quarters at 43 West Colorado street,
and will not even occupy the new build
ing, at least in the near future.
It was expected when the building enter
prise was begun that the board of trade
and Merchants' association would occupy
quarters in the new structure, perhaps ons
whole lloor, but the negotiations to this
end~tailed.
So now there will exist what will appear
an odd situation to strangers, a chamber
of commerce building with no public com
mercial body having anything to do with
It. One of the upper floors of this building
would be a magnificent location for a
commercial and advertising exhibit for the
city, and it Is possible that at some future
time such an exhibit will be provided for.
At present, with the very complete ex
hibit of the Los Angeles chamber of com
merce so near at hand, it was felt that
the local organizations for advertising the
city would not be justified in Installing an
expensive exhibit in Pasadena.

PRESIDENT'S SON IS ON
VISIT AT SANTA BARBARA
Guatemalan Says Affairs in His Coun
try Are Not .So Bad as Re
ported — Is Enthusiastic
Horseman
SANTA BARBARA, July 17. -Diego Es
trada Cabrera, eldest son of the presi
dent of Guatemala, is a guest at the
fashionable Potter hotel here, accom
panied by an officer of the Guatemalan
army, Col. de Clalremont.
Whatever may be the precarious posi
tion in which his father rinds himself,
the son does not seem to worry. He Is
living in the best of style. He Is an en
thusiastic horseman, and goes every day
for a ride into the country. He denies
that he is a refugee from Guatemala.
"I have been in this country since last
September," he says. "I shall leave for
Europe very soon, and after a year spent
there shall return ,home.
"I do not think the situation in my
country is so bad as represented. The
attempt on my father's life was very
nearly successful, but his enemies have
been suppressed, and I do not think they
will try it again, soon."
The last word he adds with a smile
that conveys his opinion of the nature
of the repressive measures which his
father Is using.
