1t was In anticipation of such a move

the deputies will refuse to recognize any
order to dissolve. but will remain In
session and proceed 10 enact laws which
in their opinion are necessary to bring

On the other hand there is little doubt
that II the Gar orders the members to

The consensus OF opinion is that the

BATTLE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

For the first time since he became
the legal heir to the relinquished
heavyweight championship, Marvin
Hart will tonight attempt to defend his
claim upon the title and prove to the
world that he is capable Of defending
the title and worthy to wear the
laurels.
Hart and Burns have trained con-
scientiously and industriously for this
battle and neither will have any ex-
cuses to, offer when the issue spells
defeat
Burns will enter the ring for the
first time in his career in perfect con-
dition and fit as 81 fiddle. He has not
been burdened with the necessity of
sacrificing condition for weight and
will battle at the weight at which he
is most capable of putting up his best
fight.
Hart is a long favorite in the mar
ket, but odds never won battle. The
Kentuckian, however does not depend
upon this feature and will go into bat
tie with all the confidence in the world
that he will be returned the winner.
Neither is a snowy boxer although
each is clever with his jab sticks. They
are born fighters and this will be the
line of battle tonight. 1t will go for
a time and will be a case of survival of
the fittest, barring accidents.
This will be the most important bat
tie ever pulled off in Los Angeles. 1t
is a genuine championship contest and
for the premier title of pugdom. The
eyes Of the sporting world are turned
towards Los Angeles, awaiting the re-
suit with greater interest than would
otherwise attach If either had ever
been fully tried out as championship
timber.
The result of the battle win give a
line on Hart's ability to defend the
title against the heavies who have as
pirations and will also give local fans
an idea as to just how good battler
is Tommy Burns.
Indications are that the Maud juno
tion pavilion will be taxed to it's ca
pacity and the demand for seats has
exceeded all calculations of Manager
McCarey.
