Another attractive pusilistic card
was arranged yesterday afternoon
when Manager McCarey. secured the
signatures of Rudolph Unholz and Phil
Brock to a set of articles for ten
round battle to be staged at Maud
Junction the night of June 26. Both
boys exhibited :; commendable degree
of anxiety to close the match and
McCarey had no difficulty whatever
in getting them to agree upon terms.
By the terms of their agreement
they are to so ten rounds at catch
weights on a so and 4G per cent divi-
sion of the fighters share of the gate
receipts 1t is understood that the
only difference between the scrappers
was the demand of Unholz for
per cent bonus, and this slight diff
ference did not appear sufficient TO
Brock to keep him out of good
match.
Unholz was ready to leave for the
east, having purchased his tickets, but
when he aseertained that Brock was
anxious to meet him upon almost any
old terms he consented to talk busi-
ness, and only a few minutes were
required to close the match. Unholz
says that despite the defeat by Cans
he still believes in himself and thinks
he has it on all other lightweights.
If he decisively defeats Brock he will
stick to the local game indefinitely
and take on all corners, but If he
loses it is probable that he will go
east for the short-round game.
Defeats Fail to Dim
Regardless OF the fact that both
boys have sustained defeat in their
latest ring adventures they remain eX-
cellent drawing cards of great power.
They are fighters, and that is what
appeals to the fans and makes the box
office busy. Both boys defeated
George Memsic and owe much of their
prominence in the fight world to that
fact. Memsic rates as one of the
leading candidates for championship
honors in his division and any fighter
who can whip him has an undeniable
claim upon Los Angeles fans.
Unholz and Brock fight much in the
same style, are clever and fast and
above all are first class sluggers,
They are game and willing mixers and
there will be a lively session when
they meet. 1t will be a real fight,
and it looks much as if it would end
within the limit. The winner, If his
victory is of a decisive nature. will
regain much of his lost prestige and
again prove his right to consideration
by the top notch brigade of cham
pionship chasers.
Neither scrapper will begin training
for a few days, each desiring a rest be-
fore starting at hard work, but the de-
tails of their match are recorded in
black and white and they will establish
training quarters within week. Brock
will train at his old quarters at the
East Side Athletic club and Unholz
probably will go to San Pedro.
Sends Tickets to Packy
Jeffries telegra phed transportation
yesterday to Packy Mcfarland, Harry
Gilmore and the trainer who will whip
Packy into condition for his battle July
4 with Freddie Welsh, and the trio will
leave Chicago next Thursday night for
Los Angeles. Jeff says that Packy will
train at Jack Doyle's club in Vernon, so
that the fans will find it convenient to
visit him during the training period,
and that Welsh will go to San Pedro
to train. 1t is Jeffs idea that as San
Pedro contributes a fine attendance at
all fights, it is the proper thing TO have
one of the lightweights work at the
athletic club in that city.
II is expected that this scrap will de-
velop an opponent for Cans and that
the winner will be matched with the
black wonder for the titular scrap,
probably about Labor day. A decisive
victory for either VIII create a demand
for Cans TO risk his title once more, and
a more worthy opponent could not be
found than in the winner of the Welsh
Mcfarland battle.
The scrap undoubtedly appears as
the best card that is possible of ar
rangement at this time. 1t even is more

principal and Cans at this time, as the
fight bugs want to send the best light
weight in the business after Cans next
time, and there is grave room for doubt
as to which of the two boys is the bet
ter all-round fighter.
Heavyweights Work Today
Arthur Van Doozer and Battling
Johnson, principals in the heavyweight
slugfest that is to be the attraction
Friday night at Maud Junction, Will
entertain the fans t their fight camps
this afternoon. van Doozer VIII put on
his show at the McCarey fight house at
3 o'clock and will box with Jack CTWin
Sulliva and other big boys. He wants
the fans to take him seriously and in
Vites a jammed house TO see him do the
stunts he fears they will not believe he
can perform. Johnson y i'll work at San
Pedro at the same hour
Van lacks a heap of being a joke as
fighter. He + one Of the cleVerest box
ers on the coast, a trained athlete and
knows his business when in the ring.
He hardly is AS fierce a slugger as the
big Russian, but he is materially faster
and his cleverness should enable him
to make at last a creditahle showing
against his heavier opponent.
He never has enga ged in a ring bat
tie in Los Angeles and has failed to get
his name i'm the fight record books but
he promises that this oversight shall be
remedied after Friday night. He is
confident he win whip Johnson, and as
Ii. Flynn had the time OF his life
turning T. lis same trick, Van is entitled
to due credit for his prospects of being
a huge surprise.
