YOUNG PETERS MANAGER MAKES
NICE OFFER
Austin of Card as Preliminary Bat
tier, and Rogers Is Selected to
Meet Royie In His
Place

Little Lord Fauntleroy switched his
preliminary program last night, and
instead Of Jimmy Austin and James
Rovle mixing in the first event on the
program next Tuesday Royle and Joe
Rogers will do the scrapping.
In view of their neat six-round en-
counter some time ago the Lord
thought a return match between Royle
and Austin would go well, but with a
victory over the Turko. Royle had diff
ferent ideas. Fauntleroy looked at 1t
his way, and Rogers has been selected
to take what the Salt Lake lad has to
offer.
The Jackson-Langford mill Is only a
few days off, and the men are in full
swing with their training. Sam is
drawing all kinds of crowds to the
pavilion every afternoon, and some of
the sports make the long trip to San
Pedro to watch Jackson batter the Turk
and others around.
Jackson's manager, Jack Russell,
came up town yesterday with a live
line of war talk I'VE have seen a
statement from Langfords manager,
woodman, to the effect that Sam will
put Peter away" he said, land that
little spiel is due for a call right now.
"The loser of this battle is signed up
for 25 per cent cut of the fighters
share of the receipts, and we will bet
that sum that Peter wins from Lang
ford. This puts it on a winner-take-
all basis, and is just what we want"
This is confidence il nothing else,
but at that Jackson ought to know a
little about his opponent. The same
goes for Langford for he and Peter
have been giving a continuous per-
formance with each other for some
years. According to the talk turned
o3r xutJJ he =
cisive, for either one or the other must
win to be able to do much more busi-
ness toward getting matches together.
Langford Working Hard
Langford is playing his usual en-
gagement at Maud Junction each after
noon, and those who have seen him say
that the big black boy is there with
the goods. His condition Is all right.
and the way he takes what his sparring
partners have to offer indicates that he
likes the gaff as well as the next one.
Sambo can hit some, too, and is there
with wallop enough to sting the tough
est of them.
Jackson goes about his training as
though the business in store for him
next Tuesday would amount to but lit
tie. He and Manager Russell seem to
think that Langford will go from the
ring in the arms of his seconds, and
that Peter will win with knockout
punch.
Jackson's we'll known gameness and
ability to assimilate punishment until
the other man has shot his bolt are
dependable assets, and Langford will
have to do some tall punching before
he can hope to register a victory over
Young Peter. Sambo is the cleverer of
the two and can also take a beating.
and from all appearances the fight
should be nice one. OF course, this
bars accidents"
Mo Young Donohue
Fauntleroy sent telegram to Young
Donohue yesterday morning, but up to
late hour last night no response was
received. Too much was left to Eddie
Keevin apparently, and things are
promising for Donohue to run out all
together on the fight which was sched-
uled for him with Jimmy Burns.
After the stories about Keevin which
came from Denver and Philadelphia it
is not at all surprising that things have
not gone right with the Donohue- Burns
match. Manager McCarey of the Pa
cific Athletic club left all his eastern
arrangements to Keevin. and the re-
suit is that Donohue has been the most
elusive fighter the local club ever
tried to secure.
