who saw it.
The great event of the evening, which
was advertised as 10.round "go" be-
tween Joe Weloh of Australia and Sam
Howard OF Salt Lake, proved to be a
,wo-round go.as-you-please between two
who either do not know how to fight o.
blse did not care to.
The preliminaries were the consoling
part OF the event. Prof. Watts rope
Jumping was greatly enjoyed, and the
Juggling of Prof. Sparrow was well worth
seeing.
Young O'Brien snd Sullivan Obide,
the "Arabian Kid" gave four exciting
rounds, which were designated 90 a
draw.
Prof. Billy Gallager, instructor of the
club, and Walter McStay, one of his
pupils, boxed four rounds with honors
about even. II il was a glove contest
the audience wanted, this was really
the event OF the night, for it contained
the only work done that was anything
like eoientific.
McStay, who is considerably the
tighter man of the two, displayed good
staying qualities, and in avoiding vicious
lunges and rapid mitigating was really
rood. Prot. Gallagher handled his pupil
In O different manner than he would
have handled man unused to his tac-
tics, perhaps, but nevertheless the four
lively rounds were made interesting.
The ''event" was opened at few
minutes past 10 O'Clock. Howard wss
the first to enter the ring. He looked
In poor condition. his face showing an
nnheslthy pallor under his dark ekin.
His weight ia in his shoulders, while
Welch, who came TO his corner second
later, gave evidence OF careful handling.
Meesrs. Thayer and Oonant, the off,
rial time.keepers of the club, were an-
nounced as time-keepers, and John
Brink as referee.
At the call OF time the men came to
the center promptly, though Welch
showed disposition to keep away from
his victim for second.
Howard spared for an opening and
then landed lightly on Welch's cheek.
The tall fellow took the blow easily and
seemed to be feeling for his opponents
reach. Gradually he forced Howard
toward the corner. Some sharp in
fighting took place, which was pretty
even as to honors. Suddenly Weloh
swung round and the stinging blow
caught Howard full on the ear. He
dropped to his knees and then lay on
his eide on the boards.
The seconds were counted off until 10
was passed, when Howard arose and
staggered to his feet. Cries of "fake"
and "eell'' were heard on all sides,
while above the uproar came the deep
bass voice OF John Brink. He said:
"You will never get the purse on such q
fight as that!"
y So the men agreed to fight again. 1t
was pretty much a repetition of the first
round, only that Howard selected an
other corner to fall in and had to be
carried TO his corner. He had elight
cut above the left eye.
The audience. composed of sports.
councilmen, willy-boys, professional
men, clerks, policemen, county officials,
detectives and others went quietly and
quickly out into the cool night air.
There were none to blame the Athletic
club, but the actions OF Howard were
severely criticised. Some claimed that
Howard. seeing his inability to cope
with his opponent, and knowing he
would be bested in the end, threw up the
sponge early in the fight to avoid as
much punishment as possible.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR FOOTBALL.
At present all the indications with re-
gard to football are that Stanford is
more likely to play one or two games in
Los Angeles during the winter holidays
than any other northern team, although
it is possible that Berkeley may send her
team down. II Stanford comes down, it
is quite probable that the Glee club and
Guitar, Banjo and Mandolin club may
come at the same time. This would
bring considerable crowd of students
to town and Los Angeles would, for q
few days, have quite the air of having
been invaded by the wearerE of she Stan.
ford crimson.
The managers Of the various Southern
California foot ball teams are already in
correspondence, looking toward the
playing OF number of match games
here, prior to the big college game, and
the indications are that Los Angeles will
see some OF the very best foot ball here
this fall, which has ever been played in
the southern part of the state.
To the end that Los Angeles may be
represented by its strongest team, there
will be called at the rooms of the Los
Angeles Athletic club, in few days, a
meeting of all the foot ball men in the
city for the purpose of organizing teams
and selecting captains and securing
coaches.
BASE BALL LEAGUE.
The Los Angeles base ball league will
play four games in the city tomorrow.
The first game will be played between
the Cyclones and Bonnie Braes, at 10
q. M, on the First-street grounds. The
second game will be contest between
the Redondo club and the La Grandes.
The third game will be played on the
Temple-street grounds at l 80 p. M,
and the fourth game will be played on
the First-street grounds between the
winning team OF the morning game and
the Eurekas. There will still be an
other game at O'Clock on these grounds
between the Los Angeles Stars and
Terminals.
A BIG HORSE RACE.
There will be an interesting match
race at Agricultural park this afternoon
between DR.. Crawford and San joaquin,
five-eighths mile dash, horses to carry
115 pounds. A race between these
horses few days since resulted in favor
OF DR.. Crawford, but under such oircum-
stances as to give rise to some dissa tis-
faction on the part of the owners. The
result Of this feeling will be the giving
OF orders to the jockeys to race horses
end not spare horseflesh, and the horse
that has it in him will be made to win.
While there are no other races booked d
for the day, visit to the track will not
prove uninteresting. as some OF the most
celebrated horses in the country are
now quartered at the track and will be
