WEARERS OF THE MITTENS

Ben Lewis of San Francisco and Bob
Thompson, both colored, will meet before
the Los Angeles Athletic club August 10. in
a 15-round go. 1t is expected that this will
be the best fight that has been given in this
city for months. Thompson is strong,
gamy fighter, but some of the wiseacres
believe that Lewis will be too many for him.
In any event, it is probable that the San
Francisco man will give Thompson about
the hardest fight he has had since he met
kid" Parker, nearly two years ago. Lewis
looks to be slight when dressed, bu:
stripped. in fighting trim, he shows up
very strong. He boxed with Robinson a
few rounds before the Manhattan club,
and, while the other man made no attempt
to put up fight, Lewis demonstrated that
he Is remarkably clever. Prof. Dan Long
of the Los Angeles Athletic club has boxed
with Lewis in training and says that the
latter Is strong and, moreover. is left
handed fighter. He can jab and upper cut
and is equally strong in left-hand swings.
Lewis is. moreover very quick, and his
footwork is one of his best points. A pre-
liminary will probably be given between
De Coursey and Thurman. Joe Cotton may
also have a go with some heavyweight, as
he is desirous of meeting any man in
Southern California. Here is an oppor-
tunity for Trimbe to make bit of money.
Jeffries may have a chance to meet F'itz-
simmons. "Lanky Bob" has stated that
he will fight any one he has not already
whipped. If the freckled fighter can be re-
lied on at all, this means Jeffries He has
met Corbett. Maher and Sharkey, and Nc
Coy is now under fake engagement. JEFF
fries will meet both Bob Armstrong and
Steve O'Donnell on August 5th, next Fri
day night. and Billy Delaney will then try
to see If Fitzsimmons is bluffing again or
not.
Corbett is 'Pompadour jim no longer.

The past week has been the busiest In
local sporting circles for long time, and
other lines will receive attention for the
next two months. Lawn tennis at Redon-
do was witnessed by good-sized crowds and
the play was exciting. The results will give
a line on the ability of the players who are
to participate in the lawn tennis tourna-
ment at Santa Monica. The yacht race at
Terminal island yesterday was successful.
and 1t is probable that more races will be
given during the season. The Manhattan
club gave a boxing entertainment several
nights ago, but the attendance was rather
small. The Trilby baseball club will play
the Bakersfield team for the colored cham
pionship of the state next Sunday. In the
east racing is popular. The victory of
Hamburg Saturday was about the mos:
sensational event of the week. He ran
away from some of the best horses on the
eastern track and won with ridiculous ease.
Ogden, his stable mate, who had been her
aided some years ago as world beater
ran poor second. Marcus Daily displayed
good judgment when he paid the enormous
price for Hamburg last year.

At the beginning of round three Phillips

with a smash in the wind that sent him
down, where he lay senseless until counted
out. His seconds picked him up limp as a

be supported to his dressing room. The
referee awarded the stakes to Phillips,
whereupon Jack Burkhardt, Of Los An

CoURsING

Notwithstanding tha3 every train. steam
and electric, which left the city for the sea-
shore was crowded, there was an attendance
of two thousand at Agricultural park yes
terday afternoon to witness the coursing.
The weather was fine for the sport, and
both dogs and hares ran well.
The band was reinforced by several new
members, and the result was excellent mu-
sic for the hundreds of ladies and children
who really go to the coursing for the con-
cert and the cool breezes that blow through
the grand stand on the hottest days.
The coursing program consisted of a TWEEN
ty-four dog stake with a twelve-dog conso-
lation race. There were one or two sur
rrises, but as q usual thing the dogs ran up
to their records. The great little "cracka-
jack" Orpheum Lass. showed her wonderful
capabilities by winning first money against
the favorite and well-developed dog, Kitty
Scott, whose handling by Frank Parsons has
certainly given her wonderful form, speed
and endurance.
Olympia deserves special mention. He is
coursing dog and needs to be watched.
Doncaster is coming to the front, and if
left alone and we'll handled will hold his own
with the best of em.
Sir Walter Scott, Flag Steward Munton's
great dog, is minus handsome collar which
was given him by his admirers. The collar
is unique one. and handsome reward will
be paid for its return. Munton has worked
faithfully for the good of coursing. and the
return of the collar to any one of the cours-
| ing men will insure It's reaching him.
| On Tuesday night next the coursing men
are to meet and consider the case of well
known trainer who is charged with having
"doped" dog in his charge. The club men
are determined, If the case is proven, to
make an example of the man, and all such
cases in future will be given the attention
| they deserve. 1t is high time that the very
few fakirs on the course were weeded out
and honest sport be given full sway.

Whether for advertising purposes or be-
cause he is superstitious and desires to get
rid of what he considers hoodoo, Corpett
has ironed out his pompadour and now
wears his hair parted in the middle and
flattened down. like college boys.
Not long ago Corbett was reputed 10 be
worth nearly a million. He was said to ne
the owner of real estate in New York city
alone worth over 100000. The report that
he is broke and badly in need of funds Will.
therefore, occasion considerable comment
in circles where he was considered to be
still a wealthy man. Corbett's loss OF
wealth commenced when he was beaten by
Fitzsimmons.
According to a letter received by a
friend from Billy Mahoney, the BostoA
sport, John i. Sullivan has asked the lat

tween Jim Jeffries and the big fellow, to
take place in Boston some time in Septem-
ber. Mahoney says he will communicate
with Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager, in
reference to the matter.

THE SIDE-WHEELERS

A harness horse meeting at Santa Rosa
from August goth to 9th, inclusive, was
decided upon last week at meeting of the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
association. There will be three or four
trotting and pacing races each day, and
every event will be the best two out of
three heats, for purses of $500 each. Entries
will close with Secretary f. W. Kelley at
San Francisco on August 18th. A harness
horse meeting will be given here.
The pacing stallion Sky Pointer (brother
to the famous Star Pointer) was shipped to
his home in this city at the conclusion of
the breeders meeting in Oakland, by his
trainer, Walter Mahen. Several days after
he arrived he was stricken with collie and
despite the best veterinarian skill, died that
night At the time of Sky Pointers death
he was valued at $4,000.
Searchight, the wonderful PAGER, says
the Chronicle, now campaigning on the
big eastern tracks, will shortly pass into
the hands of James A. Murphy, owner Of
Star Pointer, 1:59A. He offered 1926. 900 for
the son of Darknight. and c. L. Crellin and
Tom Heating of Pleasanton, CAL,
joint owners of the great side
wheeler decided to accept 1t, provided that
Searchlight was allowed to remain in Keat-
ing's hands during the remainder of the
season and fulfill his engagements.
