Gossip of Local
M Ring

4 Eiaht talk fills the air in Los Angeles
Et1Isse days, and If any one of a dozen
ltasked-of matches is finally made up the
ssports will have chance to see some
sthine besides the dub pork ana pean al
kfairs which McCarey has been Responsible
flor lately. .,,,,,o
1 From the looks CT things 1t is possible
stbat Kid Ketchell and Joe Thomas Will be
fthe next big card handed out by the IA
Ecific Athletic club. Thomas ana hetchei,
Erecently fought draw at Marysvllle' ana
la comeback between them might prove III
steresting. In spite of the draw IhonHs
Fought to be able to get his opponent, tor
khe probably thought he had sometimes
fspongy when he fought MIN peIore anu "io
mot train properly.
B,,t If they do get together the hght
Eshould be a good one According to ms
hpress agent Ketchell had all the pest Oh
1.-THE last mill, and is a tough BOY VINO
tcan make any of them hump. Thomas
HAS whipped them all In the welterweight
lbrigade, and is just as much entltleo 10
1.-THE championship as anybody.
Another ticket which McCarey may
esnring is Jimmy Burns and some other
Arood lightweight. On the strength of al
klmost nothing Burns Is running around
ktelling how he would like to fight Cans,
land his hackers are also tossing OIL lot
tof bull about being willing to bet real
kmoney on the outcome. OF course Burns
Els entitled to all the space he can get out
1.-THE sports are beginning to get tired OF IT,
ALMOST any fighter of no more prominence
Ethan Burns is willing to meet Cans, for IN
taddition to the small chance of winning
khere is always the short end to consider
ct might be a good idea for McCarey,
since he seems bound in some way to put
UP both Tommy and Jimmy Burns, TO
give the latter a fight with Packy Nc
Eafland Both Paclxy and Jimmy whipped
Dutch Charlie Neary, and from the way
the battles went they ought to be able TO
NAt5up a pretty battle when they get to-
gether.
9 Able Attell and Freddie Weekes are also
among the possibilities. Weeks is COM
ing right along all the time, and while
Ah6se who have seen Attell polish on
everything he tackled cannot give Weekes
a chance in the ultimate summing up, they
figure he might be able to give Able an
awful run for the change.
Attell and Driscoll are also on tap, and
may be brought together in Los Angeles.
Rriscoll is the English boy who proved
3emself better in the ring than most of his
sfSaintrymen, and fight with Attell would
ehEf real test as to how fast and how far
Hher can go.
4AlAbout the only match of which McCarey
1nal1es no mention is an affair between
ausar champion Tommy Burns and some
where near champion Mike Schreck. This
sisrone fight that the sports would like to
see, and if McCarey should land it he
swpuld play to standing room to a GER
seainty.
aaBurns was talking of fighting Johnson
and quieting the big dinge for all time to
So6dne, but when he came right down to
signing the articles Tommy went behind
that old fence-the color line-and stayed
ytilere. The yellow peril with the black
coat is generally sidestepped by the pres
ent day heavies. but he may get chance
,ats them yet.
sseHnd speaking of dinges, Jack Blackburn
wight make a good fight for some 1873
FOUNDER who is not looking for something
H6ft. The Philadelphia boy has been doing
s9fings to them in the six-round Quaker
aC4ty affairs, and would probably go well
DYER longer route.
