AQUATIC EVENTS
ARE ARRANGED
SWIMMERS WILL CONTEST AT
NAPLES
Entry List for Tomorrow's Sport Is
Largest in History of the South
ern California Swimming
Association

BY far the most pretentious SWIM
ming event yet attempted in Southern
California will occur on the inner bay
at Naples tomorrow, under the aus
pices of the Southern California Swim
ming association, when the crack
natatorial experts of the south are to
compete for the cups offered.
The program will include six races
and several diving contests, in addi-
ton to a game of water polo. AS the
third annual carnival of the associa
ton the events promise to be of a
highly exciting order, in view of the
fact that many of the fastest swim
mers of the coast are entered.
Wilbur Kyle of San Diego, who at
ship, may compete, despite former
decision not to enter the races.
A unique feature of the sport will
be the women's 50-yard race, for
which but two entries have thus far
been received. Members of the fair
swimming set appear somewhat back
ward about competing, but several
other entries are expected before the
lists close this afternoon:

HYLANO AND
THOMPSON SIGN
WHIRLWlND BOXERS TO MEET
IN BATTLE
Men Agree to Enter the Ring
Weighing 1873 Pounds and Will
Commence Training Inn
mediately

Fighting Dick" Hyland and ICY
clone" Thompson signed articles yes
terday morning for q tWenty-round
battle to occur before the Pacific Ath-
letic club August 2S. The men are to
make 1873 pounds ringside and will COM
mence Immediately to train for the
bout.
The only obstacle which stood in the
way of a match was promptly. eradi-
Gated when Hyland and his manager,
Sam McClintoCk, reached McCarey's
Office to consider any proposition which
might be made. Thompson was repre-
scented by hackers who have such faith
in the Cyclones" ability that they,
without hesitation, placed $3.50 in Nc
Carey's hands, which McClintock had
demanded as a guarantee for Hyland,
win, lose or draw.
Hyand also asked that $500 appear
ance and $500 weight money be de-
posted an the extra thousand was
forthcoming. Nothing now remains
but that the men condition themselves
for what should be one of the fastest
ring contests yet witnessed in Los An
geles. The battle can hardly fail to
be whrlwind affair, as both men are
mixers of a deadly sort that cannot
but result in n terrific CO.
What will add zest to the battle lies
In the fact that a victory for either
man will place the victor in a position
TO ask for the winner of the Cans
Nelson contest. which has been sched-
uled for Goldheld. According to west
ern dopesters Hyland is regarded as a
conner that VIII sooner or later attain
high place on the ladder of boxing
fame and although Thompson has not
met many of the big ones he possesses
long list of victories over the hard
est men in the country.
A remarka BILE feature of the coming
battle will be embodied in the fact
that in Hyland Thompson will meet
the first man of his weight with whom
he fought during the past two years.
The Sycamore boy has given away
weight in nearly every instance and
at that has more than a creditable
list of knockouts.
Hyland is well liked in Denver and
San Francisco. where he has done most
of his boxing. his willing style of bat |
tie having made him one of the best
drawing cards in the business. Neither
of the principals scheduled for the
coming battle has been known to back |
away from an opponent and when the
two come together there should be a |
life sized picture of a ring battle.
Hyland intends training at Santa |
Monica, provided suitable arrange
ments can be made, while Thompson
will do most of his preparatory work |
at Maud Junction.
With Nelson or Cans as their goal |
both boxers will assurely devote every |
energy to make the best of the present |
opportunity and endeavor to con- |
prove their mettle when they
enter the Maud Junction ring on the |
evening of the 2Sth

FIVE WOMEN FREED
FROM MARITAL BONDS
THEY SHOW HUSBANDS UP IN
BAD LIGHT
One Plaintiff Testifies That Fondness
for Fishing Caused Her Lord and
Master to Neglect to Properly Sup
port Her

Five interlocutory DEGREES of divorce
were granted yesterday by Judges
Smith and Trask of the superior court
and in every case the ground alleged
was non-support
The petition of Mrs. Ellen F. Pratt
against Senior. A. Pratt was given
hearing early f. the day. The couple
years ago, but, according to the allie
cations of the woman. her husband
had never properly supported her.
In answer to the judges query she
stated that her husbands Indifferent
support had resulted from his fondness
for fishing and that although he was
a good carpenter his trade was small
because he neglected it to spend his
time trying to coax the fryers to nibble
at his line.
Mrs. Fanny Mccoy was also granted
a decree in the same court. She charged
her husband, Isaac Mccoy, with haV-
ing broken several clubs over her head
and with having refused to support
her.
In the case of Mrs. Augusta Peck
against T. S. Peck, the woman, who
had been compelled to cook in min
ing camp, was given decree of divorce
by Judge Smith as soon as the Judge
learned that the location of the camp
was in a country where the ther-
mometer registered 119 degrees in the
shade in the summer time.
Mrs. Blanche Sherman, wife of
Henry B. Sherman, a printer was also
granted a decree after telling the Judge
that her husband had spent most of
his time abusing her.
The last case of the day was the
trial of the petition of Mrs. Mary Pat
ten, a trained nurse. against James
Patten. The defendant, according to
the evidence, disappeared several
years ago and has not ben heard of

KAUF MANN AND
BURNS TO MEET
HEAVYWElGHTS WILL BATTLE
AT MAUD JUNCTION
San Francisco Boxer Wires From East
Requesting Transportation to Los
Angeles and Mecarey
Sends Tickets

AL Kaufman Is coming west, and for
the purpose of meeting one Thomas
Burns, who now holds the title of ac-
tive heavyweight champion of the
world. Kaufman wired Manager Nc
Carey yesterday morning to the effect
that a railroad ticket was the only
obstacle in the way of his coming to
Los Angeles.
The TRANSPORTATION was promptly
sent to the big heavyweight, who will
now have an opportunity of demon
strating just how much he has i'm
proved since he stopped Dave Barry
several months ago at Maud Junction.
Tommy has been treading a rocky
path since he so signally defeated
Marvin Hart in their championship
battle; all the big ones tiring them
selves in an effort to get out of the
newcomers way. The nearest Burns
came to getting a match was when
he trained for Bob Fitzsimmons, only
to have the Pennsylvania authorities
step in and spoil the fest at the last
moment.
Jack O'Brien. the Philadelphia aero
bat. successfully eluded Tommy and
Is now on the high seas hitting 1t up
to Engalnd. Burns had practically de-
SPARED of getting a match, and will
doubtless be encouraged now that
Kaufman has volunteered to accept
his game.
The date of the big battle will be
either September 4 or IL. Kaufman
did not receive unusual lauding by
whipping the Boston heavyweight,
Bradley, but from ringside reports it
would appear that he had small OPP
portunity of displaying his prowess, as
Bradley evidenced a disposition to lay
down when AL let loose.
Kaufman has demonstrated that he
possesses q terrific punch, but whether
it will gain him anything against the
cleverness of Burns is largely mat
ter for conjecture
