Local Promoter Puts in Bid for the Coulon-Conley Bout
M'CAREY OFFERS BANTAMS CHANCE
TO BATTLE IN VERNON FIGHT SHED
Prospective Mill Spoiled by Louisiana Official Will Be Put on
Here if Boxers Are Willing to Accept the Terms Proffered.
Conley Agreeable to Los Angeles, and Chances for •
Match Rest with Chicago Boy-Both Favor
ites with Southern California Fans.
Hogan Tendered Proposition
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, but perhaps the blow
isn't hard enough. With boxing off the map at New Orleans, Pro
moter Tom McCarey yesterday wired Frankie Conley and Johnny j
I'K.V.VhIK CONLBS
Coulons to their word.
If the affair rests with Conlcy, McCarey will undoubtedly se
cure the plum In a letter from the Kenosha kid the local promoter
was informed lie could have first call on Conley's services any time
he was free, and the writer went so far as to express regrets because
a New Orleans club and not the Los Angeles magnate had closed
the contract. , .
Coulon should also have a liking for Los Angeles, for it was |
here he cut into a nice little piece of easy money. Some years ago
Manager McCarey thought he had a world beater in \oung lerry
McGovern, and paid Coulon a nice price- to come on from Chicago
and ffive the local boy a chance to trim him. At the crucial period
either canary or stage fright afflicted Terry and Coulon won under
wraps in a ten-round argument. One way or another, McCarey will
learn his fate today.
Hogan Offered Bout Here
One Round Hogan, whose graduating exercises into the full
fledged professional world of boxing were held Saturday need not
remain idle long if he harkens to the call of the coin. McCarey yes
terday wired the former four-round champion terms for a match with
I ;,,„., Vlemsic, and a reply is expected at an early moment. Janu
ary 10th has been suggested as the date of meeting, and Memsic has
already made plans for training in case Hogan accedes to McCarey s
6 Advices from the north regarding the one rounder's showing
acainst Johnny Frayne arc greatly at variance. < >ne critic, whose
years are many, says the former four-round slugger showed nothing
in the line of a punch. Other and younger writers declare he had
Frayne tottering at many stages, and that nothing but the bell pre
vented a knockout. It" he boxes Memsic, Hogan will be able to prove
which is right, for it takes a stiff puncher to make much of a dent in
the local lad's skin. .

Coulon, offering to stage their intended
bout for the bantamweight championship
.1! the world. The fight was originally
slated for January 19, but the Pelican City
promoter who made the match has been
lished out of a job by the action of the
lieutenant governor, and McCarey figures
he may be able to connect.
Taken all around, the Coulon-Conley
affair can be looked on as one of the best
cards now before the fistic public. For 1
years Coulon has been going around the
country telling friend and foe of his claims
on the bantamweight crown. Just who
fohnny over whipped to deserve the honor
is not known, but Pop Coulon never failed
to cash bets on the championship ticket. |
Giving his boy the most careful kind of |
"nursing" he has kept Johnny on the mar
ket as a ,e:ood money-setter, but nothing
toward meeting top-notch boxers was even
1' me.
Pop Couloirs Action Surprise
When Coulon finally signed for his boy
to meet Conley the wise ones thought they
letected an odor. The old man was
irobably thinking that Conley could never
nake 116 pounds a few hours before the
lattle and be able .to leave his chair, and
ie went ahead to tackle the first real
"i-liter Tohnny has ever been up against.
Now the match is in the air, and McCarey
is hoping he can grab it and keep the

A half dozen of the experimentally
Inclined members of the IjOS Angeles
nine and Revolver club spent Sunday
on tho Glendale range, working out a
new timed fire system. To those mem
bers <.f the club who hunt big gamo
the new system proved very attrac
tive, and it will be worked out for
magazine fire us well aa for the single
shot style.
Tho system was devised by White,
an old game hunter, to get riflemen out
of the old Plow, hold-all-day Btylo of
rifle shooting, making them far more
efficient game shots. For this a pre
mium la put upon time and accuracy
and a penalty is put upon slowness or
inaccuracy. The system is used In the
Santa Barbara branch of the club,
where several varieties of deer targets
are installed, Including one that runs
across a field beforo the shooter, who
has to fire ns it runs at a distance of
The competitor stands with his rlflo
loaded, butt below tho elbow, In tho
position of "ready," as used in the
arm At the command "fire, 1 he
throws the rifle to the shoulder and
fires one shot. A stop watch Is held
on him, the time being taken from tho
command "fire," to the discharge of
the riflo. The rifle Is again reloaded
and the shooter ugain waits for the
command to fire. At the end of five
gHotg the target is marked and tlvs
time required between the command to
fire and the actual firing of tho ride is
totaled. For each second under eighteen
seconds total for the five bhots one
point is added to each shot value as
marked on the target, making lives
count six, fours count five, etc. For
each second the shooter takes over the
IS-second mark, one point is deducted
from each shot, bulls counting four in
stead of five, etc. For misses five
points are deducted from the total
score to discourage careless shooting.
"Twos" count as two, regardless of tho
time, as shots striking this far from
the center would be useless In game
shooting.
It puzzled some of the club s *>est
shots, accustomed to the slow military
style of fire, to quickly throw the rifle
to the shoulder and fire tho shot In
two seconds, still keeping the shot on
the 4xG-foot target at 200 yards. Yet
many scores were fired with a total
elapsed time of ten seconds or an
average of two seconds a shot, from
the command "fire," which might b»
the appearance of a buck, to the sound
of tho rifle.
The system worked out queerly at
times. Crawford fired one score with
a four, and two threes as hits, two
misses being chalked up against him.
He tooK twenty-two seconds to do this
wonderful bit of sharp shooting. He
was penalized ten points for his. two
misses and four point a shot were
taken ofl' for exceeding the time limit,
leaving him owing the score sheet just
twelve points.
A deer target is being made and will
be used in this match instead of tho
regular military target, whilo a run
-1 ning deer will be Installed as soon as
the material can be obtained.
