SOCCER LEAGUE
BEING FORMED
FOUR CLUBS, AT LEAST, ARE.
TO BE ORGANIZED
FALL SEASON OPENS SECOND
WEEK IN SEPTEMBER
Successes Attained In Last Two Years
Encourage Promotion Of Assoc
citation for Regular Play
Next Fall
BY RED PERKINS

The fall season for soccer football u
Los Angeles win open about the sea.
ond week in September and already
plans are maturing for the organiza-
ton of a league that will consist OF
four clubs, at least, and q schedule of
games will be arranged for every Sum
day afternoon during the season. In
tc,est in the game has increased ma
terially In the last year and the I'M
expected successes of the last two sea-
sons encourage the belief that soccer
will become as popular, In time, as the
Rugby and American games
1t was believed that the great sue
cess attained season before last never
could be duplicated, but last season
fully equaled 1t and the ever increasing
crowds that witnessed the Fiesta park
games attested decidedly the popular
ity of the game with the Los Angeles
public. In view of the great interest
already displayed in the events for
next season, 1t is believed that II Will
Ger in Los Angeles since its introduce
ton.
It is not improbable that many high
school and college players will be seen
In the lineups on the soccer field IN
the fall and this proves in measure
the great hold the game is taxing IN
the south. 1t probably is true that
soccer never will succeed entirely to
the popularity of the American and
EIgby games, as the latter are so
generally played and liked by the pub
lie, but soccer seems destined to have
a prominent place on the sport calen-
dar of the south in all future seasons.
There is much good material here for
the organization of crack teams and
with increasing interest In the game
1t should not be difficult for those in
terested in promoting the league TO get
sufficient players to assure the sue
cess of the league and attract favor
able attention from the public for the
scheduled games.
Definite steps already have been
taken in the organization of the league
and the four teams required already
are assured as members, while it is
considered more than probable that the
league will have six clubs and. possi-
bly,, eight. 1t is expected that organi-
cation of the league Will be completed
within a short time and all the teams
will be practicing for the opening Of
the season. Practice games will be
played Sunday mornings at Fiesta
park.

BEGIN TRAINING
FOR NEXT FIGHT
CARSEY AND BROCK OPENED
CAMPS YESTERDAY
Meet Over 25-Round Route Before JEFF
fries Vernon Club Night of
July 17-Have Old drudge
to Settle

The next scrap to be staged at JEFF
fries club will be the 25-round bout,
July II, between Frank Carsey, con-
querer of Kiddo Dalton, and Phil
Brock, who so neatly trimmed George
Memsic a few weeks ago. This will
be a night scrap. Both boys went into
training yesterday. Carsey beginning
work at the South Side Athletic club
under the eagle eye of Jack Doyle, and
Brock going to Venice to do his work.
Manager McRea will direct him in his
training. as usual.
Carsey entertained about 200 fans
with his opening days stunt, going
through the usual routine of gymna-
SUM work. ending with furious three
round bout with Charlie Anslinger,
who trained with Packy Mcfarland.
Carsey went on the road for a long
run in the morning, and before begin
a game of ball at the south side
grounds. He is in excellent condition
for beginning work, having had good
rest since his fight with Dalton, and
he enters upon training in the conf
ddence that he will defeat Brock, be-
lieving that he has the sign on Phil.
Brock went through with the usual
order Of things, doing road work and
light gymnasium work. He will work
every afternoon in the ring used by
Freddie Welsh, and although he more
than made good in his fights with Dali
ton and Memsic, he feels that he lost
prestige when Welsh defeated him,
and is so anxious to recover public
esteem that he will leave nothing I'M
done that will enable him to go into
the ring Fit to fight for d kings ran
som.
This scrap will be in the nature of
a grudge adjustment of their petty
grievances with each other. Neither
has any love for the other. and each
seems to be of the opinion that the
other has done him great wrong at
some past day. 1t probably is bit of
jealousy, rather than any real wrong,
that affects them, but 1t will make
both fight at their best clip and use
every effort to knock out the other fell
low

AMONG THE BOYS

Hen Berry, the optimistic one, is glad.
The non-erasive smile has returned
and again life Is one grand sweet
dream for him. He can see something
funny in everything that occurs, can
play real decent game of pool once
more and has tumbled from his seat on
the aqua pura cart. Everybody Is his
friend and he is everybodys friend. He
bought another new hat, whfstled I'm
So Happy 1 Can't Keep STILL" and Is
talking of the annual banquet at the
close of the season. The Angels are
in the lead again and verybody around
the Berry camp Is apt to get a raise in
salary.
Eddie Maier has returned from an
extended happiness in the east. He
has lost none of his avoirdupois and
still refuses to see any cloud that has
no silver lining. He put In most en-
joyable period in New York, meeting
Baron Long and many friends while in
the big town, and got back home just
in time to attend the McFarland-Wel
scrap. He and Henry Harrison made
an extended tour in a new auto that
Eddie bought down east, avoiding the
trains as much as possible by driving
the car from city to city.
George P. Cronk of Omaha, past
grand exalted ruler of the Elks. and
A, Laird of Chicago, who have been
visiting in Los Angeles and the south
west for several weeks, will return
to their homes tomorrow or Wednes-
day. Both have many good friends In
Los Angeles and Freddie Maier Is in
cluded in this list. Freddie frequently
entertained them and never lost an
opportunity to put In a word for Los
Angeles In the race for the 1909 grand
reunion of the order. Cronk and Laird
will attend the Dallas reunion, and
both are pledged to help Los Angeles.
Little Lord Fauntleroy is bewailing
his hard luck and has every right to
cry all he pleases. In an argument
with Harry Burt and Billy Cannon a
few days ago the lord took Nelson to
beat Cans, shaking hands on a bet
of $500 against $40. A few moments
later Burt and Cannon decided that 1t
was bad bet and called it off. Then
Bat had to go on and tantalize the lord
by winning. If the lord only had been
quick enough in covering the money
with money instead of shaking hands,
Burt and Cannon probably would not
have "kidded' him into calling 1t off.
Now they are having lot of fun with
him.

ical aid was summoned, and she
soon revived, but gradually grew
weaker until 9:30 o'clock. when
she passed to the Great Beyond.
