6 Fans May Have Chance to Witness Good Bout on Holiday M'CAREY MAY LAND FRISCO BOY FOR BATTLE HERE WITH GEORGE MEMSIC Local Magnate Figures on Either Antone La Grave or Winner of Frayne-Hogan as Fit Opponent for Hard Luck Bohe mian-Baron Long Coming on Visit and May Land Match for Montana Dan Sullivan—Powell in Great Demand Around New York and Plans to Fight There Until After First of Year-Freddie Welsh Cleaning Up Easy Money in Weekly Mills in England Local fight fans will get a holiday attraction—perhaps. Uncle Tom McCarey is burning tlie wires between here and San Francisco in an endeavor to land one of three boys, with George Memsic as the other half of the match. Antone La Grave, One-Round Hogan and Johnny Frayne arc the northerners McCarey is trying to swing, and any one of them will do. The Los Angeles magnate thinks well of Memsic as a drawing card, and with a worthy opponent George should be able to demon strate whether he is as good as his friends think. The Bohemian is really a hard-luck kid and lias never been able to show just what he can do. With a match in sight he has already started in light train ing and can get in shape for a gruelling mill on two weeks' notice. Frayne and Hogan meet this week in San Francisco, and Mc- Carey is hoping for the winner. Should Hogan prove victorious he will be in great demand all over the country, for he is looked upon as one of the best boys the northern lightweight inspectors have seen in years. This is his first attempt to travel a route, and it remains to be seen if he can go the pace with a hustling miller like Frayne. Even should he fail to gqt one of the San Francisco trio Mc- Carey can fall back on others for a holiday card. Jack Kelly, the former star jockey, is here representing Tony Ross and Patsy Bran nigan, and figures either of them could come on from the east should they be placed by the local magnate. Jimmy Dime is managing the boys and has written Kelly from Pittsburg to do what he can. Tom McMahon, another of the Dime string, is clamoring for a chance to show his class in the middleweight ranks, and if Brannigan or Ross g-cts on he will come along in hopes of finding a job. Baron Long, whose efforts to get n match for Dan Sullivan received so much attention a few days ago, will be in town this week on a visit and has written that he hopes to swing a bout for the Montana middleweight. Those •who have seen Sullivan's recent per formances are enthusiastic regarding his capabilities, and In all probability McCarey will make another stab at giving him a fight. An effort to get Long to bet on Sul livan's chances against Tony Ross has been turned down by the big boy. The Italian is a full-fledged heavy weight and Long fails to see where Sullivan can go into the ring with more than 160 pounds on his frame. Frank Mantell has been doing well in the east and he may be brought here to tackle the Montana mauler. Lew Powell is finding things rather soft around New York, and has worked up quite a reputation because of his ring performances. Two bouts with Young Otto sent the Frisco lad away to a good start, and he is in big de mand. . .The Yid's knockout wnllop failed to avail against Powell's clever- SPORTING GOSSIP Has anybody here seen Ferry? Jack Kipper, Lon Hill, Jim Jeffries and Barney Oldfleld are hot after one littlo fat man who answers to the name of the Angel City Baseball club president. Hen is accused of obtaining ducks by false pretenses, and dire things are in store for him if any one of the quartet lands liis prey. This is the way they tell it: Hen, accompanied by Jeff, Hill and Oldlield, returned a week ago from sev eral days' hunting near Jlakersfield. Several"hundred ducks and Reese were killed, and everything waa shipped to Jeff's place for cold storage. As soon as he hit the home village Hen grabbed his share of the birds ami beat it for hcme. To everyone lie met the baseball magnate extended an in vitation to go to Jeffs anil grab a couple of ducks or geese. With Kipper Jiolding the keys to the ice box many invasions were made, and Jack began to wonder how Hen had so many birds lor his share. Finally the truth leaked out—and With an'awful roar. Jeff and Oldfleld, ■wishing to present a friend with some food, journeyed down to the. ice box and found it empty, so fur as birds were concerned. Kip was Interviewed and Berry waa found guilty.

After he cleans up the easy money to be found in the metropolis Powell will return to the coast and try for a bout with Moran. A letter from Freddie Welsh contains the Information that the English pre mier will make a trip to this side of the pond in March. With a fight each week the Pontypridd idol is making as many pounds as the kink, and fig ures he would rather reap the harvest than take chances on doing anything In America. However, by spring he will have cleaned up all the available British boxers, and expects to take a crack at Wolgast or Moran. ready predicted that the trial games, which commenced with Saturday's af fair, will not cause a change of sen timent toward the substitute game.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, DEC EMBER 12, 1910. Local Lightweight May Be Given Opportunity to Prove His Worth SAVAGE HORSES IN HOME STALLS Quartet of Great Racers Enjoying Well Earned Rest After Rec ord Breaking Trip MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 11.—After the most remarkable racing- and exhibi tion season ever made in any stable of horses, M. W. Savage's champions have returned home for the winter. They are now enjoying a Well earned and needed rest on the International farm at Savage and will not leave it again until next summer. The racing season of 1910 was re markable in many ways. In no way, however, was it so remnrkable as in the alteration of world's records. The American and National association statisticians are authority for the statement that never since harness horse records were first compiled have there been so many changes in one season. Several of these have been made necessary by the performances of one or two great trotters, but the big- majority of them are due to the efforts of the pacers. The only pacers that have captured world's records this year are those belonging to Sav age's championship combination. The tour of the horses was remark able in more ways than one. All long distance traveling records for harness horses were broken. During the sea son, which began last July, these horses traveled practically 20,000 miles. Their journey extended from Canada to Mexico and from Pennsylvania to Arizona. They showed in sixteen states and in eighteen different towns. Notwithstanding some very bad luck in the matter of weather the combi nation gave exhibitions before record breaking- crowds at a large majority of the country state fairs and returned to Minneapolis with profit as well as glory for their season's spoils. Inci dentally Minneapolis and Minnesota, as the home of these famous horses, were advertised in every state in the Union, and it is safe to say that more people over the country know of the North Star state as the home of Dan Patch, Minor Heir and company than for any other one reason. The artistic success of the tour Is proved by the enthusiasm of fair managers oil over the Vntted States. Already Savage is in receipt of a large number of requests for oxhi- Mtion dntes next year. The plans for 1911 have not as yet beeen taken up and will not lie for some time. Every effort will be made to give the great pacers the most careful wintering, and on results of this largely depend their chances for the breaking of more rec ords next season. It is in the matter of breaking rec ords, however, that the Savage stable made an unprecedented campaign. Never did Dan Patch in bis palmiest days shatter so many records or bring home so many honors from one cam paign as (li.l Minor Heir this year. Minor Heir was closely followed by Lady Maud <'. while Hedgewood Boy and George Qano performed remark able feats and Dan Patch drew the crowds, held receptions and acted as impresario for the younger horses. Of course there never has been a combination like the one, that hails from Minneapolis. Thin is admittetd by horsemen everywhere. Notwith standing the extraordinary class of the quartet that were racing, their performances during the season just closed were a surprise to the experts and form one of the most remarkable chapters in American turf history. Altogether the combination lowered ,i state record nineteen times. They lowered the world's race record six times and lowered the record of every track over which they started. Minor Heir holds two and Lady Maud C three new world's race records, and Minor Heir during the season paced four miles In a raco faster than any other harness horse ever went.

GEORGE MEMSIC IS MUNCHAUSEN AGAIN RAMPANT? African Traveler Brings Back Tale of Extraordinary Ath letic Feats of Natives NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Reports that would be set down at once as incredible if not actually fictitious were they not backed by such excellent authority, come from the heart of eastern equa torial Africa. They record athletic leats on the part o£ the natives which make reading alongside ot which any thing in Col. Roosevelt's accounts of his African adventures must assured ly appear very tame. Incidentally they will cause the much vaunted prowess of athletes ancient and modern, wheth er Hellenic, Celt, Teuton or Yank, to sink into comparative insignificance. It is the tribe of the Watussi, dwell ing within the conrines of Kuanda, who appear to be destined to go down into history as the world's record-breakers of all time. The seemingly impossible height of S feet 2% inches stands to the credit of one dark-skinned athlete in the high Jump. To the Duke Adolphus Frederick of Mecklenburg, one of a small group of princely explorers, the civilized world is indebted for the information con cerning a race possessed of such su perhuman and undreamed of powers. Africa is forever beating records, whether in the size of its diamonds (not baseball) or its cricket scores. The latest revelation of the mysteries of the dark continent is of a kind to stagger humanity. In the recently published account of his travels In German East Africa the Duke Adolph us Frederick of Mecklenburg tells of a tribe o£ athletic blacks who in their daily exercises make the deeds of our Olympian heroes ridiculous. If there was nne performance on the list of au thenticated feats which seemed insur paaaable it was the high jump of M. P. Sweeney of New York, carefully measured at 6 feet 5% inches. Duke Adolphus Frederick has assisted at the sports of the Watussi and has seen them overlapping this height by a couple of feet, more or less. His vol ume -shows the photograph of one Watussi clearing by many inches a tightly stretched cord, beneath which a couple of stalwart white travelers Btand with upturned gaze, "like some watcher of the starry skies when a new planet swims into his ken." The jump was measured at 24 motors, no accounts being taken of beggarly Inches, to say nothing of eighths. TAKE-OFF HJOHBB It i.s true that the African jumpers "take-off" from a little round ant hill of a foot or so in li<-i«lit, but what of that? Even tho committee 'if the Amateur Athletic association, one would think, could hardly be so mean as to quibble at such an informality when there i.s another foot to spare In a claim for the best on record. \nd what after all are our modern champions? Between the Homeric heroes who tossed landmarks and mill- Btom ai each other's heads, the lone Jumpor Phayllua, who cleared BO feel (In round iigures), the weight-lifter Jiilo and the modern black barbarian of tin- iieart of Africa, whose high jumps are reckoned In meters, how futile must .seem our Vast stadiums and puny antics! Let us try to im agine the effect of a wireless tele gram arriving iit Stockholm in 1912 to Inform an enthusiastic; Olympic crowd that the (white) people jump record has Just been equaled at the Pan- American games by a negro without a pole. Further particulars are to be had from tlio duke's book on his travels. It transpires that the performance oC eurrel lit the course Of a sporting pro gram which formed part of the festivi ties arranged in honor of the exploring party. This part of the hook reads like a fairy tale: "A line which could bo raised or lowered at will was stretched between two slender trees standing on an In cline. Th« athletes hud to run up to this and .lump from a small termite heap a foot in height. Despite these unfavorable conditions exhibitions were given which would place all Eu ropean efforts Jn the shado. Tho best Jumpers, slender, but splendid figures, with an almost Indian profile, attained the Incredible height of. 1.80 meters (8 feet -'-i Inches), and young boys made the relatively no lesa wonderful per formanc* of 1.50 (4 feet 11 inches) to CRAVATH REAL LEADER OF BATTERS IN AMERICAN ASSOCIATION RANKS Our old friend Clifford C. Cravath of Santa Ana is the real leader of the club men in American association circles, according to the batting averages for the recent season just forwarded by President T. M. Chlvington. Two men were ahead of Cravath in the standings, but as neither played in many games the palm must be given to th* former Angel for h»s .326 percentage.

CHAMPION AD IS ADMIRER OF OWEN Becomes Loquacious on Subject of Proposed Bout and Praises English Pug CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—Ad Wolgast is talking favorably about the proposed ,Moran-Wolgast bout. He believes that Moran would be a fine drawing card since the Englishman defeated Nelson, and Wolgast also says, that the inter national asrect of the match would help the gate receipts. Apparently the lightweight champion has been doing Borne thinking on his farm. He is quoted with some Interest ing opinions. In the first place Wol gast says that he would never meat Moran in England because the Ixmdon fight fans would have no use for hts style of work. "They are good fel lows," says the champion, "but they have different ideas about the game over there, and my methods would not be liked." In speaking of Moran himself, Wol gast says: "He is the roughest and toughest clover fighter I have ever seeri. His reputation as a rough man In the ring is growing every day. Moran boxes much like Abe Attell, standing straight much of the time. As an Inflshter he. is clever, but I think that I have considerably the better of him In that department. His clean job at taking Nelson under his wing has mado Moran popular, and we should draw a much better gate than another bout between Nelson and my self." Wolgnst has been taking good care of himself on his Cadillac farm, spend ing considerable time on horseback and in his training quarters. Wolgast is still nursing the arm which he in jured in Milwaukee. "In snme re spects," says the champion, "the in jury did me much good. I havo been forced to use the other arm almost exclusively in training, and its hit ting power has increased Immensely. ' Wolgast Is closing up his business affairs in Cadillac as fast as possible and is placing his farm and sheep ranch in the hands of his parents and other reliable persons. By the latter part of December he desires that every thing be closed, as far as his personal attention is concerned, for a year at least. By January 1 he wants to bo ready to start in vaudeville again and will stick to that for a couple of months at least.
