less than half a dozen automobile loads
are announced already, and as the reg
ular electric cars will carry those who
do not want to wait until the special
leaves, the Los Angeles delegation at
ringside should number close to 200,
If it does not exceed that number.
The card Is classy one, providing
for two preliminaries in addition to
the main event, and the fans are going
to turn out and patronize the event.
Lauder and Trendall have been in
training for the last fortnight and both
are down below the required weight
100 pounds. They are so confident re-
garding the result that they will fight
for a $3.50 side bet, in addition to the
usual fighters share of the receipts.

EST NEWS OF [zEEsE%a THE SPORTING WORLD
Gossip of

IN HAT game of baseball that Hen
Berry had arranged between the
n Fats and the Press Boys has been
postponed one week, the new date
being made Sunday. September 6. The
postponement came from the Fats,
Berry stating that is would be impos-
sible to play the game next Sunday, as
several of his crack players are out
of the city. However, he proposes to
put his big grizzlies through thor
ough siege of training, as he cannot
bear the thought that the big boys are
to be beaten by the invincible Press
Boys. Positions on the big team are
so much desired by every player who
weighs close to 125 pounds that Berry
is having hard time picking his
team. Baron Long says that If he is
not given the position he wants he will
start an OUTLAW" Fat team and give
Berry's outfit a trimming. But he adds
he will want whatever position Berry
gives him. The postponement operates
solely to the advantage of the Fat
boys, as the Press Boys are in excellent
trim for playing star game and need
no postponement.
AL Kaufman seems to be the best
heavyweight in the ranks Of the boys
who are fighting in the elimination con-
tests for the right to meet Tommy
Burns. His two quick knockout VIC
tories over Johnson and Flynn en-
title him to another match, at least,
and as the crop of heavies is so large
that picking a suitable opponent is
easy. Manager McCarey will put him
on again next month, probably with
Bob Emmett, Terry Mustain or Jim
Barry, most probably the former AL
will remain in the southland until his
next fight, as he likes the country and
believes it will be to his advantage to
remain in the cline where he is to
fight.
Sam Sprecher, one of the boys about
Los Angeles a year ago, is back in
town for a visit. He went to Arizona
when he left Los Angeles and estab-
lished himself in the printing business,
which he recently sold out to advan-
tage, and now is interested in a mining
company. He Is on his way to San
Francisco on business for the COM
pany, but stopped off for short visit
with his Angeleno friends.
A huge sign is posted conspicuously
at the entrance to the offices of the
Jeffries Athletic club to the effect that
the free list for the ke-Kitchell fight
has been suspended. Owing to the
exactlonS or the nghterS and the cluD
regarding the financial end of the fight
the pass list practically was suspended,
only the legitimate press and individual
passes TO an extremely limited number
being permitted. The club, however,
has not made a big raise in prices for
the fight, so the average fan will be
able to occupy a good seat for a mod
crate sum and the suspension of the
free list will not work any great hard
ships.
Jeffries and Baron Long had a big
time Wednesday night in introducing
a young giant around town as Gus
Rubin. Gus" was the center of at
traction for several hours until jeff
let out the secret. The giant was a
friend of Long away back in Indiana,
and he is much larger than Long as an
elephant is as compared with year.
