SCALES SAG
WITH MEMSIC
UNHOLZ MAY HAVE TO WAIVE
WEIGHT CLAUSE
Watchers at Cabin Can See Nothing
but Dark Days in Store
for the 6oer
Wonder

With his battle with Boer Unholz only
few days off it looks as though George
Nemsc would be unable to make the
weight required in his articles Of agree
mont and would go into the ring welgn-
ing close to 1888 pounds Although ne is
working daily George seems -indlnerent
to the poundage question, and finds him
self heavier after each afternoons lapor.
If he pursues this line of action and
fails TO hit the beam at the 1S5-pound
mark Memsic will lose but little, unless
the Boer wonder refuses to meet him.
Agreements entered into by fighters are
usually loosely drawn documents, and this
is especially true with a battle of the
culiber which will top-line Fridays show.
About all that will happen should Memstc
fail to hit the Fairbanks in the right spot
Is a chance for Unholz to Withdraw,
which he will hardly do.
With things as they are it looks like a
bigger cinch than ever for Memsic. While
his tonnage refuses to drop he is daily
gaining strength, and even the Boer's s
most ardent supporters fail to see where
their man has a lookin. UnholZ is Moth
ing but a hit-or-misS sort of boy, and II
George uses his cleverness this should
get the South African nothing but a
trimming
Memsic was watched by an admiring
throng at the cabin yesterday afternoon,
and those who witnessed his performance
went away we'll satisfied that he would
win. He is more aggressive and more
rugged than ever, and If allowed to make
his own weight will undoubtedly be an
easy winner.
Unholz is working away at the East
Side club with Rawhide Kelly and his
sparring partners, and is confident that
he will give Memsic a hard argument.
The Boer slams away at his opponents
with plenty of force and roughness, but
when they stand off and box him he is
at loss for style that proves effective.
The weight question is easy for Unholz.
Without doing an extra amount of road
work he is already at the desired figure,
and were he called on to do SO the Boer
could make the 133-pound mark and not
lose bit of strength.
So the question Of the minute is: Will
Memsic spoil his strength by artificial
reducing, or will he make Unholz waive
the weight question or else give up all
hopes of battle? It's one or the other,
and If the Boer let's him in at above 1876
fits nice little bet that Memsic will not
have much trouble in being returned a
winner.

KELLY ORA WS
WITH PAPKE
MEN GO TEN FAST ROUNDS AT
MILWAUKEE,
Fight Looks Like Decision for Spring
Valley Boy in Ninth, but Kelly
Evens Honors at the
WIndup

BY Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,. Dec. SO.-Hugo Kelly Of
Chicago and Billy Papke of Spring VAL
ley, ILL.,, fought ten fierce rounds to
draw before the Badger A. @. tonight.
Both fighters started in hammer and
tongs fashion at the first tap Of the gong,
using right and left with frightful effect
Kelly knocked Papke down, the Spring
Valley boy taking advantage of the
count.
The first round was easily Kellys The
second round ended with honors even,
Kelly having the first half and Papke
evening up In the last half. In the third
round Papke drew blood from Kelly's
right eye and Kelly in turn jabbed
Papke's face, also drawing blood the
round ending with an even break.
The fourth round was easily Paqke's
he having fioored Kelly with vicious
right to the body, following this up with
rights and lefts to the face with good
effect and drawing blood freely.
The fifth round was fast and furious for
the first half, both fighters easing up to-
ward the end, Kelly seeming to have the
better of the round
Both men bored in with rights and
lefts to the head and body in the sixth,
Kelly uppercutting with good effect
Papke slipped to the floor in this round
but recovered without losing any ground
Honors were even.
The seventh round was Papke's Kelly
being well winded at the end.
In the eighth Kelly did considerable
clinching and seemed very weary, but at
this point the honors were standoff.
The fight in the ninth looked very much
like decision for Papke, who had Kelly
wobbly from fusillade of rights and
lefts and uppercuts to the body and head,
the gong alone saving the Chicago man.
In the last round Kelly came up strong
and evened up any advantage scored by
Papke up to that time. Kelly used right
and left with good effect, keeping up a
hot pace until the gong sounded, leaving
nothing for the referee to do but to de-
clare the bout draw.
The decision was well received.

HENRY MAKES NOISY PLEA
FOR FOSTER PRODIGIES
Racker of christopher-Levys optimis-
tic Over Winning Class Shown by
Proteges and Prophesies
Pennant for Them

Les Henry is now giving vent to a
piercing scream, and above the din you
can hear something which sounds like a
prophecy concerning the likelihood of his
recent foster horsehide acquisition, the
revised Christopher-Levys, crawling un-
der the folds Of the Winter league cham
pionship cloth.
The most lucid translation of Les Sety-
mological agony is offered in simple
verse. He win soon be prepared to fore
close ON all local options held on the
leadership rag-provided his prodigies
maintain their present formful stride.
Almost the debut performance which
dragged the flock of young bloods under
the notice of the hall of fame directors
was the stubborn refusal they made to
being annihilated completely by the
hurled abuses of one Johnson at Santa
Ana Sunday.
Mister Johnson works under the eagles
wing in the American league and Is good
enough to go back down east to usher
at the next baseball hague. The Henry
prodigies despite this array of royalty
were unabashed. and while barely de-
feated brought back a good account OF
their visit in Podunk.
On the membership roll of the new
Christopher-L -Levys may be found attached
the signatures of Buttrick Whitridge
Kimmerle. Helnzman. Jim Dear, Reed
Howard, Gilbert Dear and John Dear.
According to the names there is moth
ing cheap about this bunch.

INSURANCE MEN
PROSECUTE THEW
DETERMINED TO STOP
THEFT EPIDEMIC
Machine Burglars and Whittier crimi-
nails Not the Same, but Confess
sions Are Expected to
Clear the Mystery

The F'iremen's Fund Insurance company
of San Francisco is back of the prosecu-
ton of automobile thieves which is about
to be inaugurated in Los Angeles with
the ayowed plan of driving such male
factors out Of Los Angeles.
Further inquiry yesterday by the police
and the Southern detective agency oper-
atives revealed that six men compose the
gang which has been stealing autos in
the flower city and that the Whittier
robbery was the work of other criminals.
1t was at first thought both operations
were by the same gang.
The head of the auto gang Is declared
to be a young man of an estimable fam
ily. who, by his knowledge of the ma
chimes gained through experience as
chauffeur has been able not only to get
away with five machines. but to so dis
guise them by interchanging parts that
the work of investigation has been rem
dared much more difficult.
The Insurance company officials have
grown weary of paying damages on ma
chimes which had been ruined after be-
ing stolen, and instructed Attorney
George u. Sanders and the Southern
agency to stop the practice at any cost.
1t is believed that through confessions
by the men now held In jail the en-
tire plan of operation will be known to
the police shortly, and for time at
least auto owners need not worry ABOUT
their property on wheels.

HUNTERS FIND DRAPERY
FOR TOAST AT CASTAIC

Hunters who took advantage of the
good weather Sunday to journey TO
neighboring styx report verying luck, but
the ones who braved the waves for the
weeks stock of meat are unanimous In
telling of a plentiful crop of ducks.
The Venice coast was the most heavily
besieged an the blinds in that vicinity
were filled from daybreak to dark. The
shooting was almost as good In the open
also, except that the fowls persisted In
taking a little too far to sea.
Les Henry can speak, for the gunners
who cruised in those parts, with dozen
feathered sailors in his bag after two
hours work The rest of his party, in
cluding Bernal Dyas continued the pic
mic and Boated in with forty quacks.
The quail seekers are not quite so OPP
timistic, but several stocked the larder
fairly well, considering the widespread
dearth of birds.
Those who have had such warm
spot in their affections for the San Fer
nando regions are beginning to chill a
little. and more than one hunter found
nothing to bang in the cactus country.
Some of the fall ones however, took the
third speed farther up the valley to
Castaic and found bonanza of drapery
for their toast at the whistling station.
The falling off of the quail supply
around San Fernando is attributed to the
native nimrods who bombarded every
thing with a topknot that flies for miles
around. The birds hereafter should take
the Coast line.
w. r. Sterling was one of the travellers
who fell but little short of the limit
around the Castaic water banks.
