Hart viii Fight Kaufman

Hart VIII Fight Kaufman
Marvin Hart has consented to meet
AL Kaufman or Sam Berger II Conroth
can arrange the affair. Marvin Is will
Ing to come to the coast and see just
how good these fellows are. He writes
to friends on the coast that he has
heard so much about them that he has
really become anxious to meet the Won
ders recently developed and wants to
get whipped in short order to relieve
the suspense under which he is forced
to live while listening to their sassy
utterances. Marvin will be accommo-
dated.
Smiling Schmidty Released
President Hawbacker of the Oakland
club has dispensed with Smiling
Schmidty, the good-natured twirler on
his staff whose services have been Of
an unsatisfactory nature for some time.
Hawbacker has become so enraged be-
cause Schmidty lost a game to Seattle
that he publicly dismissed him and
boisterously roasted him before the
grandstand. Schmidty's wife was in
the grandstand and the laughing boy
refused to be called down in such a
loud-mouthed and uncomplimentary
manner and forced Hawbacker to pub
licly apologize. The Seals are hot on
Schmidty's trail and will probably sign
him at once.
San Jose Gets Stars
San Jose will have the strongest semi
professional baseball team on the coast
in a short time. Hal Chase and Elmer
Stricklett will be added to the lineup
and finish the state league season with
the Prune Pickers. Baseball is all the
rage in the Garden City and the La
dies Aid society is planning a banquet
and pink tea reception for Chase when
he returns. This is not done with the
idea of making all the other fellows
jealous, but it will accomplish this re-
suit just the same.
Tenny and Hennessey Fight
Harry Tenny and MILDLY Hennessey
have been matched to go twenty rounds
before the Marysville club one week
from tonight. They will weigh iii at
116 pounds at o'clock Hennessey
is New York wonder and said to have
much class at this weight.
Bowker Is Too Heavy
Jem BoWker, who pounded frankie
Neil half to death, has relinquished
his claims upon the bantam champion
ship because he is getting to be too
heavy to fight in that division and
Owen Moran has lodged under the
own. Bowker is going into the feather
weight division
It's Up to Cans
It's up to Cans to fight or quit Nor
ris Levy, Mike Twin Sulivans coast
manager, writes Twin that he has for
warded articles of agreement to AL
Hereford, Cans manager, for a fight
between the duSky champ and the twin
tO he nII1lp6 off a FricpO in ba vary
near future. inducements are hung
out for Cans acceptance which are
considered real juicy and it is be-
lieved that he will accept. Cans wants
to come to the coast to fight Twin
but Hereford is opposed to the plan.
Cans says he will come without Here
ford, so there you are. Gardner con-
tinues his side-stepping tactics in all
mentions about fighting Twin and the
prospect for a meeting of these two is
not bright.
Scrappers to Go to England
Several American scrappers are either
now in England or are planning to go
there this winter. Abe Attell is due
to box Jem Bowker before the Nation
al club of London November %. He
will seek other engagements in the
country which produces the cockney
frankie Neil may accept an offer made
him to go to England and fight Owen
Moran, who is the recipient of the re-
linquished bantamweight champion
ship discarded by Bowker. Nelson is
| being tempted with offers to go to
King Eds realm and fight Jabez
White, who was defeated by Britt
some months ago at Frisco. Britt is
also thinking of making the trip ana
Bob Fitz will take a shy to the little
isles after his theatrical engagements
| in America.
Liehtweiehts Are Training
Eddie Hanlon and Aurelio Herrera
are working regularly in their training
quarters, although neither has begun
boxing or other strenuous stunts yet
Herrera, who is prepping at the pavil-
ion, is doing roadwork and bag punch
| ing this week and will begin boxing
with his brother Mauro Monday. Eddie
is also taking his daily runs on the
country roads near the North Beach
bath house and will begin boxing with
Zubrick Monday. Herrera has much
superfluous flesh to remove, while Eddie
is in fair condition now. Neither is
neglecting any opportunity to get into
the best condition, as each realizes the
hard game he is up against.
