JAY DAVIDSON
—— j —
AFTER a letup of eleven days, hostilities will be resumed tonight
at McCarey's Naud Junction pavilion when an all-star card of
thirty-six rounds of boxing will be the attraction. Although
no single bout has been assigned the post of honor as the main event,
a double-header dividing the honors of that distinction, the fans have
made the Danny Webster-Curly O'Connell near-championship scrap
the chief event of importance. It occupies the windup position on
the program because of its near-championship flavor, but this does
not detract from the interest that attaches to the Mexican Pete
Everett-Jim Cameron engagement, which is the other end of the
double-header and comes as the semi-windup offering. The card is
not lacking in class and considerable interest attaches to the argu
ments of the eight scrappers who will box for the honors of the
evening. , ,
Webster is rulinjf as favorite over
O'Connell at odds of ten to eight, and
there has been considerable wagering
between the partisans of these classy
little fellows in the last forty-eight
hours. O'Connell is the long (shot of
the bout because of his lack of expe
rience and because Webster ranks to
day as one of the only two recognized
claimants to the bantam championship
of the world. Nevertheless, O'Connell
has shown euch terrific hitting ability
and good cleverness and generalship
that he has built up a large following
among the fans, all of whom expect
him to make a classy showing against
his formidable opponent.
Mexican Pete also rules fovorlte over
his opponent, principally on suspicion,
because he has been fighting for a
longer period and has been up agalnsP
such fighters as Jeffries and Johnson
In his day and has shown some class
In his ring career. Cameron is the tall
est fighter in the business, and his
reach probably is another world record.
It is because of his extraordinary
reach and height that he is given an
excellent opportunity to cop tho long
and of the purse. If ho will stick with
some gameness, he has a good chanco
to win, but his courage has been ques
tioned several times and it is known
that he does not relish much punish
ment.
Joe. Livermore and Frankle Harris
phould pitch enthusiasm rather high
■while they are battling for a decisive
victory, as they have shown in other
ring engagements nnd !n their last
meeting that they are above the ordi
nary classification of minor event
lighters. Livermore showed a lot nf
ppeed In his previous engagement with
Harris, and the finish put up by Har
ris muddles the form of the dopesters
BO that the result is difficult to figure
definitely. This bout will follow the
curtain raiser, a six-round affair be
tween Eddie Russell nnd Jack Boyd,
both most promising comers.
Secretary Hancock again urges tha
fans to be in their scats by 8 o'clock,
as he will call the first bout promptly
nt that hour, regardless of the size of
the crowd, and will rush them so a3 to
end the show by 11 o'clock, if possible.
Hester May Get Permit
Dispatches from Frisco tell of the
extraordinary efforts being used to pre
vent Sid Hester from getting a permit
even in San Mateo county, so that he
can hold the Battling Nelson-Ad Wol
gast fight there. Ho was turned down
cold in the city, and as a last resort
went to San Mateo county with his ap
plication. Just at the moment when ho
believed he was about to achieve suc
cess he and the two county supervisors
■were astounded at the sudden flight
of the quorum in the person of Super
visor Casey, Jim Ooffroth's friend.
When they recovered froh their sur
prise they got the county attorney to
Jsstie a warrant for Casey to compel his
nttendance, but he had flown beyond
recall.
It appears that Coftroth dop<, not
■want any body butting into his Colma
territory. *n4 inasmuch as TTester has
ghown a decided tendency to butt In
on anything that looks like a fight, and
had announced hifl intention of building
a fight emporium across the county
road from Oolma Jim's light house, all
of the friends of Sunny Jim rallied to
oppose it. Casey is the sole friend of
Coffroth on the board, the other four
supervisors being friends of Hester.
With only a quorum present. Casey saw
■the only means of defeating Hi
even temporarily, lay In (light, and a
liasty aviation stunt was resorted to.
At that, it seems that Hester will get
the permit Thursday afternoon, i.
Coffroth can aggregate a lot more in
fluence than appears possible at this
time.
With a permit Hester may go ahead
with his plans for the Nelson-Wolgast
light, but it looks like a bail Investment
for a man to give $16,500 in purse mon
ey, added to the expense, of building B
fight dub outside the city, whore ai
tendance would be materially lea
inside, and take a chance of pulling out
even on the deal. Tet that Is his busi
ness, and If he i an satisfy Nelson and

be quite a puller. He will take on Sul

any weight making by Cappele.
Memsic to Box Picato
McCarey closed a match yesterday
that will be most popular with the fans
when he signed up George Memsic and
Frank Picato for a ten-round scrap
the- night of January 28. Lew Powell,
who came south a few days ago to get
on with some local lightweight, left
Friday for home, promising to come
back for a tight with the winner in
February. Memsic and Picato light
along lines that please the fans, and
they should pack the house that night.
Powell and the winner also will be a
corking good match.
Langford Leaves Tomorrow
Sam Langford, accompanied by his
manager, Joe Wnodham. and Eddie
Keevin and Jimmie Walsh, will leave
Boston tomorrow for Los Angeles and
should arrive by Sunday. Langford
is anxious to get here as quickly as
possible in order to get acclimated and
have ample time for training for hi
bout with Jim Flynn, which is set for
February S. When they arrive Match
maker Hancock will get busy ami try
to arrange a few bouts for Walsh.
He and Webster probably will hook up
right off the reel for the undisputed
bantam championship. Monte Attell
and Walsh may be matched for an
elimination battle previously, however,
and this also should be a peppery dis
turbance.
Tommy Daw son, tlif> sensational
lightweight scrapper who recently ar
rived in America, from England, writes
that he wants to come to Los Angeles
and take on all the lightweights that
can be thrown at him. He encloses
his record, too. which is most im
pressive to look at. He claims to have
knocked out Johnny Hummers in six
rounds, Dierger Stanley in seven, Billy
Plimmer m eight, Benny Jordan in
n and Tommy Feltz in four rounds
and to have defeated .labez White in
fourteen rounds and obtained draws
with Joe Bowker, Spike Sullivan and
Pedlar Palmer. His letter follows:
"E would like to get a boxing match
before one of the clubs in your city
with any fighter in the country at IS3
pounds, none barred at the weight. I
will deliver the goods and draw a good
house. I am all the time in good trim
so that I can tight at short notice. 1
have fought some good men in this
country and have held my own With
them. I will be obliged if yen will
put me in communication with the
promoters in Los Angeles, an I do not
know their names. Want to come out
there and fight anything you can find
for me, and believe my recoid wi!

R IALTO GOSSIP
Jay Davidson
ACCORDING to a dispatch printed
In tin? Chicago Daily Racing F
of last Thursday, the Pacific
Jockey club has notified the Utah
Jockey club that dates tor the spring
meeting at salt Lake City will not be
ted until W. \v. Finn la ousted
from tho general managers office.
This action was brought about by re
ports made to the Jockey club and
President Tom Williams regarding
the conduct of racing at Buena Vista
park last fall. Undoubtedly the Utah
Jockey club Will comply with tho de
mand of the governing turf body and
|ret a new manager, and as John Con
dion, president of the Utah Jockey
club, and his associates are most anxi
ous to place the sport in that state
upon a llrm and permanent basis and
stand for honest sport, they will not
be a bit backward in helping in any
way to uphold Williams in his efforts
to compel clean racing as a guarantee
of the perpetuity of tho sport in that
'.ite. As I have said many times
heretofore, Salt Lake City is one of the
best summer racing points in the
Treat, if not actually the best, and if
t!ir sport lg conducted in a manner
that will "moot the approval of the
people who support it, there is little
chance of legislative interference In
that state for the present, at leaft.
Another season like the fall meeting at
Buena Vista park, however, would be
lutal to the future of racing there.
Bill Lang seems to have Joined the
Bill Squires syndicate, too. He again
knocked out the paper-jawed fighter,
turning the trick in seven rounds yes
terday nt Sidney, X. S. W. After
Squires is put to sleep half a dozen
more times he is apt to become as
thoroughly convinced as all the bal
ance of the world that he is no fight
er. He has been a very convenient
meal ticket for certain lighters for a
long time.
Dorando, Hayes, St. Ives and Long
boat are being considered in connection
with another Marathon race at San
Francisco after Dorando and Hayes
have their little duo next Saturday.
All of them are in the winner's divis
ion, and while they have met often in
Ihe past, another little race will do no
harm, as Tom Darmody would sum
It up.
Hen Berry, multimillionaire and
probable successor to John D. Itor kefel
lcr in the oil business after he wins the
IHIO Coast league pennant, is due to ar
rive from Bakersfield today. Xo date
has been announced for the Coast lague
meeting that is to be called to sit in
judgment upon the case of Secretary
Long, so Hen has no special business
on hand in tho northern city for awhile.
Theo Breitenstein, once the premier
pitcher In the National league, has re
tired from minor league service and
will be seen in the new rolo of umpire—
instead of umpire baiter—next season.
Ho will be a member of the staff of
President Kavanaugh of the. Southern
league. Breit was a great southpaw,
but Chris Yon der Ahe ruined his wing
by pitching him every other day
through out nearly an entire season, In
an effort at keeping his St. Louis team
out of the cellar. For several years
Breit has been pitching for Little Rock
and other Southern league clubs.
Lloyd Jevne. once three-cushion bil
liard champion, but now running the
biggest pool room nnd billiard parlors
In the Rocky mountain region, has is
sued a challenge to the world at three
cushions. He directs his challenge par
ticularly at Fred Barnes, the Denver
player who recently won the champion
ship from DeOro. Jevne is playing a
great game even now and without prac
tice, so he should have little difficulty
in beating the present clay crop of
champs and near-champs.
Magnates of the American league
have taken quite a. big step In advance
of tho times in requiring all players to
WINTER BASEBALL
WHEN the Santa Ana team refused
to play ball because of the con
dition of the grounds at San
DlegO last Sunday, Manager Crolic ot
the southern club announced that he
was through with the. Winter league
for good and hereafter would devote
his attention to scheduling Los Angeles
independent teams for exhibitions on
tli" Bay City grounds. Even though
this is the second disappointment that
the Santa Ana boys have given the
southerners this season, their right to
Choose between an afternoon of dis
comfort on a sloppy field and a snug
cvi Bloned place by the fireside hardly
can be disputed, and Crollo should con-
Ci ile them some say In the matter.
From the southerner's recent inixup
with the leading light of the Santa

shortage In a guaranfc ed i m j> ac

They pay their expenses through the

players nowadays are considered as

that high class thoroughbreds, are re

by club owners to preserve their use

last season, and now that h" lias had

the lend of the Pacific Jockey club In
adopting- the rule that permits the
judges to place a disqualified horse

place, The Southern Jockey club is
the latest to adopt this rule. By its
workings a horse Is made to finish ex
actly when- ho would have finished in
a truly run race and backers of a
horse that commits a foul will not
have to stand still and feel their blood
freezing while their horse is placed
last, when he should have been no
worse than second. If a horse la sec

WASHINGTON TO
ROW IN REGATTA
FIRST WESTERN CREW TO BE
RECOGNIZED
WILL COMPETE WITH BIG EAST
ERN COLLEGES
Challenge Sent Two Years Ago Was
Turned Down, but 1910 Offer
Meets with Approval of
Authorities
[Associated Press]
ITHACA, N. V., Jan. 17.— an-
nouncement is made here that the Uni
versity of Washington probably will
ml a crew from Seattle to compete
in the intercollegiate regatta at Pough
keepsle next June. The far western in
stitution sent a challenge two years
ago, but it was refused by the stew
ards of the Intercollegiate Rowing as
sociation on technical grounds..
This year, suggestions of a similar
challenge, have been received from the
Pacific coast college, and it was au
thoritatively announced today that the
rowing stewards would be glad to wel
come the coast men if they decided to
enter.
Washington's sprcmacy in rowing
on the coast la pretty well settled, ac
cording to the eastern stewards, and
as a sectional representative, the Seat
tle institution should prove a valuable
addition to the Poughlreepsle _event.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 17.—Four

legal Sunday amusement.

nati, Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo.
All the members nay it is wrong to
have the matter left to the mayor of
B cily. and that the best thing to do
|8 tn"change the civic code, putting it
under the jurisdiction of the general
assembly.
WESTERN GOLF INTERESTS
ARE WELL REPRESENTED
Important Meeting of National Asso
ciation Attracts Fighting Dele
gation That Wants Equal
Privileges with East
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.— Western golfing
Interests will be well represented at the
important meeting of the. United States
Golf association, scheduled for next
Friday night ;it New York. A new
tltution probably will be adopted,
but the importance of this action will
be secondary to that which is almost
sure to be taken regarding recognition
of the west.
W. A. Alexander of the Exmoor club,
nominee for vice president of the Unit
ed States Golf association, will give
the easterners a clear idea of what the.
Western Golf association wants, and it
is believed by many tlie formation of a
national organization, one which will
place the west of even footing with the
cast, will be the result.
WASHINGTON MUST RAISE

Hudson, but the funds never hay%
been raised. This summer, with the
facilities provided liy the Alaska-Yu
kon-Paclfic exposition, the university
its to have a faster crew than

NEW SPORTING ANNUAL
The greatest of itandard authorities,
the ''Police Gaaette Sporting annual,"
published by Richard lv. Vox, Frank
lin Bpuare, New York, lias just been
iwsued for 1910, and the many new
records have increased its size, but
not its price. It contains records of
baseball, bicycling, trotting, jumping,
football, racing, aquatics, and all ath
letic sports, con", lied by Sam C. Aus"
tin. The main feaure of the book,
however, is the puglistic records, nnd
many pagea are devoted to that popu
lar branch of sport. This great book
Is made doubly attractive by its high
class illustrations and photos of the
champions. It is authentic and reli
able, and stands today an authority
on the subjects upon which it treats.
The price is ten cents; postage two
cents extra.
