WITH .TRENNEL
SAN PEDRO ATHLETIC CLUB
\ LANDS MATCH
AGREE TO GO TWENTY ROUNDS
AT 1870 POUNDS
Unbeaten Local Boy and st. Louis
scrapper Post $3.50 Side Bet for
Battle to Be Fought August
20 in Harbor City

Once again the San Pedro Athletic
club gets into the limelight, and this
time it springs a match for August 70
that represents much good class and
makes up a most attractive oitering.
Leonard Lauder, the unbeaten local
boy and Kid Trennel of st. Louis, who
fought Bubbles Robinson to draw last
Friday night, are the principals in ar
ticles of agreement that were signed
last night. They are to box twenty
rounds at 1870 pounds, weigh in at 3
o'clock. and a $3.50 side bet depends
upon the result. Tommy Walsh the
local referee, has been agreed upon as
third man in the ring.
Trennel came to the coast to get a
match with Packy Mcfarland or any
other lightweight and had $500 to bet
he could whip the Chicago boy. Find
ing Packy engaged and desiring to
make good with the coast fans, he Of
fered to take on any local lightweight,
and Bubbles Robinson was assigned to
try him out. Trennel fought Bubbles
off his feet for six rounds, but blew
up in the final rounds, showing lacktof
condition. He showed enough in the
first half of the fight, however, to
make good, and 1t is believed that he
will make an improved showing after
training for his match with Lauder, as
he undoubtedly has become sufficiently
acclimated by this time.
In accepting this match and the side
bet Lauder thoroughly disposes of the
charge that he iran OUT of a match
with TrenneT recently. If he was
afraid of the ST. Louis boy then he
would not be accepting the side bet
now, as Trennel assuredly proved a
most agreeable surprise in his fight
with Bubbles, as he was considered
easy game for the fact and clever black
boy. The side bet has been posted with
AL Fennessey of the club. 1t is a
crackerjack match and undoubtedly
will attract good patronage from To-
cal sporting circles.
Today and tomorrow will wind up
the training period for Freddie Welsh
and Johnnie Murphy for their Friday
night scrap at Vernon, and as the fans
are showing more than ordinary in
terest in the match, because of the
popularity and known class of the
English champion and the uncertainty
as to the ability of the Frisco boy, the
final workouts probably will attract
good crowds. For the information of
those who want to attend 1t may be
stated that Welsh begins his workout
at 3:45 o'clock every afternoon in his
old quarters opposite the amphitheater
at Venice, and Murphy is working at
the East Side Athletic club on the old
Mission road. beyond EaStlake park.
He begins work at o'clock each after
noon.
Luke Kelly and his associates In the
San ePdro Athletic club have discarded
the dubs and now are catering to local
patronage of their fights by putting on
CLASSY cards In grabbing the Lauder
Trennel match they have scored heav-
lily and the attendance from Los An
geles undoubtedly will be much
greater than that which was at ring
side the night Montana Kid and Frank
Picato fought, when special car was
chartered for the late crowds, While
others drove down to the harbor city
in automohiIes earlier in the day. Fully
100 sportsmen attended. With an
Pedro and San Berdoo grabbing off
good cards recently, the fight bugs WILL
find plenty of amusement during the
dull periods in Los Angeles
