''PENNYS' PRIZE
RING GOSSIP.
Question Is Where viii the Fight
Game be Shifted to
Now?
MAY GO TO LOS ANGELES.
II The Sport Is Allowed to Run Here,
Salt Lake VIII Get a Big
share.

The frightful disaster that has be-
fallen the city OF San Francisco puts en-
end TO the boxing game there, and
changes entirely the complexion Of the
fight situation.
Just as soon as the public can some
what recover from the terrible shock,
fight fans KIN begin speculation on the
question: Where win the game he
transferred to?" At the present time
ii looks like the most likely city IN Los
Angeles, but 1t will be long time be-
fore any definite action will be taken.
The probabilities are that the bouts
scheduled by McCarey will be called
off. 1t would seem that public sent-
ment win demand this. II Is doubtful
II the proposed Britt-Herman fight VIII
take place. In fact 1t IL almost a cer.
tNinty that 1t will not. for the reason
that Jemca IGNard will be trying 10
protect his interests In the California
metropolis. Britt had n great deal OF
property in the unfortunate city. lie
owned several fats and owned stock IN
business houses Il is said. II has al
been wiped out and will mean a most
severe loss to Britt Several other prom
| inent ones in the first game Will also
| suffer great loss.
In view OF all this, the scene Of the
| operations Of the fight trust will have
| to be shifted. If the game is allowed
! to run here and its management Is IN
| capable hands. this city will naturally
| come Ia for big share of Queensbury
| performances.
