they were men like yourselves, who

NOT COMING
FROM MATCH WITH
GEORGE MEMsIc
Dalton and UnhoIz viii Be Headlners
at Show Following Barry
Langford Mill-Japs
to Box

Peter Sullivan Is not coming to Los
Angeles to meet George Memsic, and the
publicity department established by
Michael Sullivan for the benefit of his
clan has come to the conclusion that it's
work of the past few days has all been
in vain. Mike received a telegram from
Peter yesterday stating that he had
ribbed up match in the anti-race sui
eide country and would not wander down
to Uncle r'om'S cabin to indulge in q
mix with he who was once Jimmy
Purns.
This leaves Memsic once more on the
open-for- business list, and from the
looks of thirgs he will stay that way for
several weels. There is dearth of good
lightweight material around here at pres
ent and McCarey can see nothing hang
ing around for George.
1t is not probable that Rudolph I'm
holz, who took Cyclone Thompsons place
as the pieco de resistance on the Raw
hide Kelly fight menu will be given
shot at Memsio until he takes on some
thing easier and shows his class. Ac-
cording to the dope at present the card
after that in which Barry and Langford
come together will find the Boer won
der and Kid Dalton opposed to each other
as the top liners, and If Unholz lives
notices -yhich adorn Kelly's scrap book
he will have chance at Memsic after
he puts Dalton away.
OF course the spaghetti champ feels
that he has something to- say about the
affair, and does not see where Ru-
dolphus has anything on him. Dali
ton thinks he is lots better than the
dope book shows and feels that lack of
opportunity in meeting real class is the
only thing that keeps his name out of
the championship lists. He will train
hard for his fight with Unholz and will
be the best kind of trial horse for the
South African.
Manager -acCarey has finally discov-
cred a pair of Japanese boxers who are
willing to don the gloves for a consid-
eration) and appear at the cabin in
preliminary to the Langford-Barry mill.
The manager of the local fight club has
a hunch that the Japs will develop into
real fighters If given a chance, and he
proposes to be young mikado to the
brown boys and set them on the road to
wealth and fame.
If McCarey makes good the woods will
be full of Young Oyamas and Kid Togos,
for the lads from the land of the rising
sun are always there with an eye to
the main chance. But Tuesday night
will tell the tale, for the battle scheduled
for then will be convincing enough for

PREPS AT BASKETBALL

The u. s. c. sophomores and the fourth

yesterday afternoon in which the college
team defeated the preps by the score of
10 to 9. The fourths put up a game fight
from start to finish, but were outclassed
by their more experienced opponents,
Osborn played fast and heady game as
forward for the sophs, getting away from
his guard and throwing five field goals
and five from the foul line. 1t seemed
to make no difference to him where he
was; when he got the ball into the basket
it went. Swantek at guard was in 40

FIRST CHOICES FAIL TO

With Optician as opening favorite and

at post time eight selling platers went
out to face the issue over the mile course,
getting their start at the near chute. The
winner turned up in Ed Sheridan, nicely
ridden by Barkwell, with Mary Candlemas
second and Nellie Racine third. Neither
Optician nor Prolific was good enough to
gather any OF the money, lines giving the
former bum pilotage.
At the break Optician was rushed to
the front, and held the lead until after
passing the three-quarters. Here Mary
Candlemas, which had been in close pur-
suit all the way, went by the pacemaker
like a shot. and was five lengths in front

LA GLORIA BREAKS TRACK
RECORD FOR SIX FuRLoNGS

Although breezing along easily at the
end La Gloria negotiated the six furlongs
fast enough to establish a new track
record for the distance, setting mark
of 1:12 1-5, fifth of a second lower than
Rihemans best time. Money Muss was
second, with Scarfell third.
Eight horses paraded to the post when
the second event was called, with La
Gloria and Money Muss favored by the
CHANDELIERS as first choices, the shade
being in favor Of the mare. The play on
Scarfell and Mintia was steady, with the
rest at any old price.
La Gloria broke flying, and at the
quarter led Money Muss by two and a
half lengths with Scarfell running third.
There was no change in position for the
rest of the trip, although Money Muss
came through on the rail and made gal
liant effort, which was no good when Mar
tin shook La Gloria up. Aunt Polly ran
a nice fourth, but Mintia, which was
close up part Of the way, retreated to-
ward the end and fnIshed far back.
