crudge fights, fancied by the fans be-
cause they preclude all possibility Of
being in any way tame. always are
welcome, and local followers OF the
swat game are beginning to Jerry
to the fact that they have one in pros
pect when Phil Brock and Frank Car
sey get together at Vernon a week
from Saturday. The boys have been
enemies for almost three years, and
despite their previous two meetings
they are looking for more.
The first time he went against Car
sey, Brock was given an awful trim
ming, and police Intervention in the
seventh round saved him from being
sent to the hospital. Phil was a little
fellow at that time and his opponent
had all the best of 1t in experience, but
Brock kept on trying and finally hooked
up with Carsey the second time.
This happened in Lorain, o., and both
lads trained faithfully for the fray,
each expecting to determine which was
the better for good and all. When it
came to fight, however, the police came
through with such stringent rules that
neither boxer was allowed TO do his
best. Every time little mixup oc-
CURED the coppers warned the men
that a knockout would send all con-
cerned to Jail, so the boys were afraid
TO let go, and merely SPARED.
Such state of affairs did not tend
to heal the breach, and several at
tempts were made to get Phil and
Frank together again. On various oc-
casions they almost were ready to sign
up, when something broke in to spoil
1t, and not until Jeffries arranged the

which call them together signed.
The boys already are in full swing
with their training stunts, and nothing
like lack OF condition will go for the
loser. Brock is getting together quite

comes to aid, for Jack Doyle's South
Side club is becoming popular with the
pork and beaners who appear in six
and ten-round goes, and they are will
sng to don the gloves with the Chicago
boy in order to learn something from
him.
The memory of the Welsh McFar-
land affair is too fresh in the minds of
the local fans to call the Carsey-Brock
mill the classiest of the season, but
from one standpoint, at least, 1t can
rate as of equal note. Both boys are
sluggers of a pronounced type, anu
nothing but real fighting can be ex-
pected from the time they enter the
ring until one or the other is put away
for the count. There is but little chance
that 1t will go to the 25-round limit
prescribed, for both promise to have 1t
over within short order, each insisting
that his opponent will be handed a
sleep powder before the fifteenth round
has come and gone.
Al Vogt, the sailor who outgamed the
husky Harlem Coffee Cooler the other
night at McCarey's show, will have a
chance TO show how well he can stand
the gaff when it is handed him In
scientific portions. Howard Baker has
been signed to meet Vogt in 15-round
semi-windup TO the Brock-Carsey fight.
and should the latter win he will be
hailed as a conner. Baker lost to Pete
Sullivan in the preliminary to the Dali
fon-Carsey mill. but Howard was not
satisfied with the decision and made
such a generally good showing that
JEFF has promised him bigger game
should he win from Vogt. Baker is
training in a downtown gymnasium,
while Vogt does his work with Carsey
and Young Otto. who also is attached
20 the South Side camp.
