Mccarey Is Trying to Get Johnny

Championship, to Scrap
Splinter McGovern

With the main event practically settled
between Jim Flynn and Sam Langford
for the 22d of this month the Pacific
Athletic club is already on a search for
preliminary material and in all proba-
bility Kid Dobbert, the boy from San
Pedro who is receiving so much touting,
will be stacked up against Dannie Web
ster. The lad from the seaport town has
been promised fight, and it is figured
that thestime is ripe to give it to him.
Dobbert is spoken of as a shifty pork
and beaner, and If he is any good he
can prove it against the clever Danny
Webster has been taking care of all Of
them, with the exception of Joe Smith,
who gave him an awful run for the
change a few weeks ago and beat the
local lad to it for the long end of things
Dusty Miller, newcomer from Chi
cago, will also have a chance, If the
plan Little Lord Fauntleroy has under
his thatchless roof goes through. Dusty
offers to fight any 126-pounder in this
part of the country on winner take all
basis, and the lord is thinking of send
ing Joe Smith out after him.
But even the talk which Dusty made
of letting his opponent take all the coin
Fauntleroy, and he is desirous of seeing
Miller in action. The boy will go to the
pavilion some day early next week and
will be put on in an unofficial tryout
against q good pork and beaner. II he
makes a favorable impression the match
with Smith is certainty.
Jim Flynn is expected to arrive today
to look over the field for the proposed
battle with Sam Langford. Flynn has

ming at the hands of Jack johnson, and
is in fairly good shape despite the beat
ing the big black gave him.
Flynn Ready for Sam
No difficulty is anticipated in signing
the men up, for Flynn has already stat
ed by wire that he is ready to meet Sam
1rel. The Colorado boy likes the game
and the tougher the better, so in all
probability he and Manager Woodman
will be able to arrange everything agree
ably with Manager McCarey.
AS soon as he finds time Tom McCarey
will write to Chicago and endeavor to
get Johnny Coulon, who claims to be the
champion 105-pounder of the country, to
come here and meet Young Terry Nc
Govern over the 10-round route. Since
the local skeleton whipped Harry Dunn,
Mac Is more than ever convinced that

can beat anything within five pounds of
his weight, and is willing to give the
Chicago aspirant chance to see what
he can do.
If the match is made ii will in all
probability be the topliner on the first
1O-round card that is put on after the
new ordinance becomes effective. Nc
Carey feels that competition will be
sprung in towns just outside Los Angeles
and in order to beat them to the bank
roll he will endeavor to put on the best
: in the business, despite the limited time
and no-decision phase of it.
No other bouts are in sigh. at present
and the line Abe Attell is peddling II
regard to match with Cans will proba-
bly, never amount to anything but q
little cheap advertising for the feather
weight champion. While Able is con-
ceded to be without a rival in his own
division, just as Cans is among the
1ightweights, most of the critics think
the little Hebrew will be strictly VI
against it should the negro ever decide
to call the line of heated atmosphere
Abe is letting slip.
