FIGHT PROMOTER
ARE CONFLICTING
All Trying- to Cut In With Card Around
Time of Heavy Weight Fight
JOSEPH MURPHY
There promises to be a boxing carnival around the fourth of July which
has never been equaled in the history of the boxing game*. If the promoters
carry out their present intentions all the great champions that are now
before the public will be seen in action. When Promoter Gleason announced
that the Jeffries-Johnson fight would be held here the fans shouted in
approval, but this was not all that was in store for them.
Coffroth announced a few days ago that he had a sweet morsel to offer
on July 2. He announced Abe Attell, the greatest feather weight in America,
and Jim Driscoll, the English feather weight, whose countrymen declare him
to be the greatest fighting man of his inches. Coffroth announced the affair
would be 25 rounds and would be held at his Colma arena. j
GRIFFIN ANNOUNCES FIGHT
Nqt to be outdone by Coffroth, Jim Griffin, the good natured north sider,
declared that he did not care what happened, he was also going to
puil off a show on July 2 and that it-<
would also be a daylight affair.
Louis Blot, the man behind the Met
ropolitan club, has joined in the merry
l^Tar of promotion, but Louis says that
tie is not *:oing to conflict with the
other boys. He says he is going to put
on a -card, but he has announced that
his attraction would be held in this city
on the evening of June SO.
Blot has in mind a fight between,
billy Papke. the Illinois fighter, and
Stanley Ketchel, the middle weight
champion. Blot received a cablegram
from Papke. who is now in Paris, say
ing that he would come back to this
o.untry if Blot could get him a fight
with Ketchel.
Blot has started his wires aworking
and he stands a very good chance of
bringing the men together. It would
be a great card, Blot did not say what
the duration of the fight would be if
he signed the men, but it Is possible
that he would seek to have them go
45 rounds.
FOLK FIGHTS IV \VEEK
If these promoters carry out their
present plans, then the fans will be
treated to four great fights inside of a
we*k which will truly go down as a
rrcnrd and one that will stand for a
while. , , ,
Th-ee of them will be championship
« ojuests. while Griffin has not announced
Just who he will put on. If Tommy
McCarthy is successful in his battle
next month with Owen Moran. the Eng
lish lightweight, he would be a great
attraction, and as Griffin can get the
brick layer he might t>e laying back
and waiting for the result of this fight.
With a victory over Moran. McCarthy
would he a l>«?*r of a card with another
top notch lightweight.
It is a lot of lighting for one week,
and it remains Ut be seen whether the
promoters can get hy. It is a certainty
that either Coffroth or Griffin will have
to Riv* up his match for July 2, if they
expect to make money, or else dates
will have to be changed.
WAB IS TimCATEXED
Two Tights in one day will never go.
It will be the case of one cutting the
other's throat. •."../'. • .
The July date belongs to GrifSn. but
CoiXxot'T- la SPJrtg.to Colma with his
f.g-ht. The opinion seems to prevail
t t this is going to cause some fric
ftion and a war of promoters is likely

[Special Dispatch to The Call] ,
LOS ANGELES, - Ma.rch ' 16. — All \u25a0rec
ords for attendance at fistic encounters

tomorrow when Jim- Flynn and Sam
Langford meet in a scheduled 45 round
contest at 'Jeffries' old "arena- at Ver

Uncle Tom McCarey to believe the big
arena will be sold out \u25a0 •• ..'^ ;

ford in 1 their recent" 10 s round match
has made many friends for the fireman
who expect' him to prove, a hard nut
for the Boston black to crack tomor
row. ' - ; Iv"'.. - . ' •.
Although Langford is . a hot favorite
in the betting, odds ranging from two
to one .to ten to four, a big bunch »f
sports is stringing with Flynn to stay
20 rounds. If condition counts for any
thing tomorrow, there -appears to be
little 'choice.' Both men have trained
faithfully. Flynn did 10, miles on the
road. today and after a- rub- announced
himself in the best condition of his
career. - ' . ; r^ t -,v" v. ' \u25a0{-

question of' getting, through '.Flynn's
guard with- a knockout punch. .Lang
ford says- he is confident '- Flynn .will
open up sooner ; orT later . sufficiently
to enable Sara to land the sleep
ducer.
Flynn says he is able to go the limit,
but thinks he will win earlier.
Thompson and Norvall
to Go 10 Rounds
Cyclone Johnny Thompson, who has
been on the trail of Bat Nelson and
Ad Wolgast for many months, will
have a chance to show his form at
catch weights next Wednesday night,
when he meets Charlie Norvall in the
10 round main event of the West Oak
land club's boxing show. These two
lads will top off an extraordinarily
good program of five bouts, as the
new match maker has secured some
hitrh .class talent for the March show.
Louie Long and Frankie "Smith, Indian
Joe Gregg and Billy Grupp and Johnny
McCarthy and Jack Carter will box six
rounds each, while a four round bout
will start things a. rolling.
Charlie Cleaver states - that Thomp
son is in gi'eat condition and predicts
that he will dispose of Norvall before
the tenth round. Every follower of
boxing knows what a tough nut
Thompson is to . crack, even at the
lightweight limit, which weight causes
him lots of hard work and worry, so
at catch weights he* shouW be much
stronger and faster, and a whirlwind
battle may" be looked for. \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0'
Against Jack Clifford, Norvall
showed lots of class, and as he knocked
out the Grass Valley fighter at Sacra
mento, Jig must be reckoned with, even
against an experienced and slashing
infighter of Thompson's type. Both
men are training hard for the encoun
ter and will be in fine condition next
Wednesday.

. The- alumni association of. St. Mary's
college ran'off a successful indoor ath
letic .meet last night at the Auditorium
rink before a crowd of about 2,500
people.
\u25a0. The event of the evening was the five
mile run with 29 starters, all scratch.
H. Damon of. the Young Men's Christian
association, running a heady race, took;
the lead on the third lap of the long
grind and on the third- mile gained a
lead of a lap on William Rehberg of
the Visitacion Valley athletic associa
tion and Otto Boeddiker of the.Olym
pic club, his two closest competitors.
He maintained that.position throughout
the remainder of the contest and fin
ished in fine shape.' -',.*. : -s
Kehberg ran a fine race, but like all
the other races he has contested in this
season, he used poor headwork, allow
ing the pace maker to get too big a
lead in the early part of the contest.
The 75 yard race fpr the grammar de
partment of "the Catholic schools' ath
letic league brought out the keenest
competition of the night, the race being
won by W; Cunningham of St. Joseph's
school, B. Martin a lithe negro lad, se
curing second position.
The League of the Cross relay race
was a hard fought contest. Company A
of this city" winning in fine style, with
Company N of Oakland second.
In addition to the track and field
events there were several boxing and
wrestling exhibitions' by members of
the Olympic and Acme athletic clubs.

1910 MACHINE HAS
STRIKING CHANGES
Joe Holle, Pioneer Dealer, Re
ceives Demonstrator With
t
Many New Features
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
Joe Holle. the pioneer motorcycle
dealer of this city, has received the
first 'l9lo Harley-Davldson motorcycle.
The demonstrator Is 4 single cylinder.
four horsepower flat bel^ driven ma
chine. . -
From appearances and .what Is seen
of its "mechanism it has been greatly
refined over last season's product. The
cylinders are 3 5-16 bore by 3 1-2 inch
stroke, with deep cooling flanges. It
has a one and three-quarter' lnch belt,
three-eighths of an inch thick, and.
what is especially attractive .In the
new model is what Is called the
"idler." This Is a belt release lever
which allows of the engine running
at all times even when It Is necessary
to stop the machine. With this low
speed engine and manipulation It is
easy to start, go slow or go fast. It
has already proven itself a good hill
climber and great at bucking sand.
Another feature is the low saddle.
There is the regular 2S Inch wheel
and there 13 also a special 26 inch
wheel type for riders whose short legs
do not permit of the manipulation of
the 2S inch machine.
The new vehicle has larger Intakes
and exhausts. Is quiet, simple, durable,
reliable and economical of upkeep. The
engine is hung low and so placed in
the frame that there Is an even division
of the weight when the rider is in the
saddle, which makes it especially de
sirable when the tandem attachment is
used. Two carloads of these machines
have already been sold in Los Angelea
this season and another is on the way.
Besides the" four the company also
makes a seven horsepower, twin-cylin
der machine.

rommittee of the San Francisco motor

" An announcement much regretted by
all connected with automobile affairs fa
that C. A. Hawkins
has resigned his po
sition as - Pacific
coast manager of
the White company.
Hawkins" personal business has grbwn
to such an extent that he has found it
incumbent upon him to retire from the
services of the Whiter company, with
whom he has been continuously asso
ciated for the last 21 years. His resig
nation was placed before the home office
some time ago, but was only accepted
after repeated requests that he continue
in the service and that the resignation
be withdrawn. Hawkins is succeeded
by H. E. Doty, who has been associated
with him for some time in the middle
west territory and more recently as as
sistant manager on the coast. Doty, al
though he came but recently from Chi
cago, has already made his presence felt
in western automobile affairs. He is a
type of that aggressive automobile
businessman who has come as a result
of the marvelous growth in motor af
fairs during the last few years.
As has been the case in several other
Instances. Doty graduated Into the au
tomobile world after having reached the
top in the bicycle and tire business.
Most of his business life has been spent
in Chicago, where he leaves an enviable
record. Under his management the
White interests on the coast have a
•bright outlook. > ,» •
