PICATO MEETS
REAL FIGHTER
CHARLEY ANSLINGER TAKES
KENNEDY'S PLACE
SUBSTITUTION ADDS CLASS TO
MccAREY CARD
Clever and Experienced Serapper
Jumps Into Breach and Agrees to
Tackle Original Knockout
Kid Tuesday Night

IL was IL luIldlC SLIOh6 IOE IllC
success of the fight card that Manager
McCarey will stage at his Maud juno
tion pavilion tomorrow night that Jack
Kennedy withdrew from his match
with Frank Picato, the knockout kid,
as what at first appeared to be mis-
fortune has proved a blessing in that
Charlie Anslinger, a clever and ex-
perienced fighter, who has been train
ing at the South Side Athletic club for
several weeks, has been substituted.
Anslinger will be the first really ex-
perienced and perfectly trained scrap
per that Picato has taken on, and the
match appears to be a much better
card than it would have been had Ken
nedy stuck to the job. Anslinger has
been training with Pack Mcfarland
and Frank Carsey for a long time, and
is in good condition, SO that he win not
be handicapped by lack of time for
preparation.
Another excellent reason for congrat-
ulation lies in the fact that for once In
his life Picato will meet fighter who
is clever and experienced enough to
give him real fight, and who should
force the knockout kid to the best that
is in him to win. If Picato continues
to maintain his great knockout record
in this fight he then will have proved
beyond all question that he is the
marvellous kid he has been credited as
being since he first began to fight. 1t
was feared by McCarey, when Kennedy
ran out of the match late Saturday
evening that one of the most attrac-
tive offerings on his card had been
ruined. as few boys would care to
tackle such big job on such short
notice and without training for fierce
fighter like Picato, but Anslinger is to
the rescue, and the card Is made more
attractive by many degrees than 1t
would have been with Kennedy.
Schedule Thlrty-sIx Rounds
With this new match assured, Nc
Carey has the best card he has framed
up for a minor event show in many
months. There Is not dull number
| in the bunch, ana great fighting should
result in every bout. Here is the card
as now completed, In addition to the
Picato-Anslinger bout:
Abdul the Turk, the human punch
ing bag, and Billy Morris, whom Jim
Pitcher showed with such sensational
success at the last McCarey show, will
travel the six-round route at about
1852 pounds. Both have been training
as If a championship were involved and
the fans will witness a great scrap
when they meet. Morris is a cracker
Jack, fast and a fierce walloper who
knows nothing but to mix 1t from the
tap of the gong, and he will make the
naturalized boy hustle some to keep
his head above water. This will be a
great slugging match, unless both show
a form reversal.
Jim Cameron, who stopped Frank
Holbrook, the Arcadia blacksmith
about a month ago, has consented to
meet the big black once more. They
will weigh in at about 1876 pounds, Hol-
brook having taken off about seventy
five pounds of his bay window In the
last month, else he could not do l9o
pounls. Holbrook took his deIe9t
gracefully, because he knew he was in
no condition to fight, and returned to
Arcadia to begin training for the match
that he hoped would enable him to
reverse the tables on Cameron, and
few days ago he visited McCarey
showed himself to be thoroughly
trained and begged for the return
match. Cameron was willing and 1t was
on. Holbrook can outslug Cameron
and when in good trim should make
quite a different showing.
/ Jim Konkel, who fought Clarence
English such hard battle recently at
San Diego that the fans almost rioted
when the referee gave English the de-
cision, will make his debut with Wine
Fairbanks, also a debutant, from San
Francisco at about 1873 pounds. Fair
banks is one of the good boys of the
northern city who Joined the colony or
emigrating scrappers, coming to Los
Angeles to clean up with the local col
ony of near-welters. Both are WORK
ing at the South Side Athletic club,
Konkel working with Carsey ana E,alr-
hanks training with Young Otto. Their
workouts indicate that they know the
game, and judging from the manner IN
which they are slugging their sparrlng
mariners the scrap will be a corker all
the way.
Mike Kutchos will be the principal
in the double-header windup, agreeing
to whip Jimmy Austin and Eddie Len
non in six rounds each. Mike gives
out the information that he will not
require the allotted twelve rounds to
turn the trick, saying that he expects
to COP both boys with dreamland trans
nortation long before the limit in each
bout. Eddie Lennon, alone, is capable
of giving Mike touch OF nigh Ire, II
he is UP to his best fighting form, while
Austin is a fast and clever t1gnter ana
be ahead of the little Greek, therefore,
unless he is much better than his re-
cent fights have shown. If he whips
both these boys in a decisive manner
he will reinstate himself with the fans,
but not otherwise.
Altogether, the f1gnts are scneuuleu
to furnish thirty-six rounds of real
mauling, but It Is a safe bet tnat tnerc
will NOT be any necessity for decisions
in any number on the program. All
the kiddos are fighters and six knock
outs should be registered, thereby es-
fabIishing a new world record. Inas-
much as there is no interfering attrac-
tjon at the other club near enough to
detract from the McCarey offering II Is

attract good house, the previous
shows having been so much better than
the average minor event offerings that
the FANS who remained away after
ward indulged the services of a kick
INC machine, and the Tuesday night
attraction seems to outclass the recent
good offerings.
