PACKY AND His
MANAGER HERE
ARRIVED LAST NIGHT OVER
COAST LINE
MOVE OUT TO VERNON TODAY
TO BEGIN WORK
Harry Gilmore Says All Details and
Conditions Governing the Fight
Have Been Settled In
Advance

Packy Mcfarland, accompanied by
his managerial and training staff, ar
rived from San Francisco at 11:45
o'clock last night and will go to the
South Side Athletic club this morning
to begin training for the fight August
7 with Phil Brock. They were ex-
pecred to arrive this morning, but at
the last moment they decided to return
to the Angel city via the coast line,
and the changed plans made them
more than twelve hours behind time
in their arrival.
Harry Gilmore, manager for Packy,
said last night that the fight would
occur as scheduled as there is nothing
remaining to be agreed upon that could
have any possible effect in calling off
the scrap All minor details were set
tied along with the real conditions of
the fight and the articles of agreement
will be drawn and signed this morning.
He also said that he is pleased with
the match and believes it is an excel
lent card for all concerned-fans, prin-
cipals and promoter alike.
Brock and his manager, McRea, said
last night that they would go to San
Diego to attend the Snailham Kid Tex
fight tonight and return the following
day, but this trip probably will be
postponed so that they may meet
Packy and his manager this morning
and sign articles of agreement

that the Americans entered seven of
the fifteen heats and took five of them,
there is not much cause for complaint.
In the heats of the 400-meter fiat the
Americans took seven out of nine in
which they started. The two heats in
which they lost in this event were won
by Halswell, who is considered the best
man on the England team at the dis
lance, and who did the heat today in
40 2-5 seconds, and Montague, the for
mer champion of England, who beat
Paul H. Pilgrim of the New York A.
c. in so is seconds.
J, B. Taylor, Irish American A. G.,
the colored champion of the University
of Pennsylvania, made his first APP
pearance in this event, and the re-
markable ease with which he runs was
an eyeopener to the English critics.
Taylor got a warm reception and won
his heat easily. Rhyl of Cambridge,
who had a walkover in this heat, had
a somewhat similar stride to Taylor,
but without the strength.
The. 100 meter sprint brought out the
best aggregation of sprinters yet seen
on the track, and it was noticeable that
the only countries represented were
America, the United Kingdom, Canada
and South Africa. The Americans,
May and Stevens, lost their heat to
Walker of South Africa and Kerr OF
Canada respectively, but the other two
heats were gathered in for America by
Rector and Robertson.
There were four heats in the semi
finals Of the 400-meter hurdle, in two OF
which Americans contested, and they
took both of them, Harry L. Hillman
of the New York A. c. and Q. j. Bacon
Irish-American A. c., doing the trick
The other two went to United King
dom, and in both cases in slower time
than that made by the Americans.
r. Naraganez, New York A. c.. and
J. c. Craig, New York A. c., lost their
bouts in the catch-as-catch-can wrest-
ling, and J. b. Green, Brooklyn A. u
failed TO qualify in the 1500-meter swim
six heats of which were concluded.
The preliminary bouts of the Graeeo-
Roman wrestling also were finished to-
day, but no Americans were entered.

know, Kaufman is no SLOUGH at the
punch game. He can hit as hard as
any of them and is just as game as
Johnson, and probably can take more
punishment. He will land on johnson
as sure as you are alive, and when he
does it will require a lot of restoratives
to bring the big Russian back to earth.
l think the fight should end quickly
and can see nothing to 1t but AL for
the long end of the purse"
If AL loses it will not be because of
any lack of condition or proper train
ing and ringside instruction. No fight
err ever went into the ring in better
condition than AL will show Friday
night, and If he loses it will be be-
cause Johnson is the better man. The
strapping big native son is as hard as
steel, yet he goes about his work like
a fine machine, and all those who have
seen him in training have grown en-
thusiastic at his appearance and pros
poets.
johnson cut out the road work yes
terday, being down to the weight at
which he expects to fight, and he has
cut out portion of his boxing pro-
gram, it being the opinion of Manager
Gaines that the big Russian does not
require so much work as ordinarily.
johnson is a glutton for work and is
difficult to handle, being almost incor-
rigible in this regard. Gaines has the
time of his life in keeping johnson
within the bounds of good training
judgment and in restraining his prin-
cipal from too much work. Johnson
overturned for his first fight with
Flynn because he would not obey in
structions, but Gaines is enforcing ODE
dience this time and will not permit
the big boy to overtain, overwork or
go stale.
Billy Norris, who goes on with the
veteran, Jim Tremble, for six rounds
In the prelim windup is working in
the same ring with Kaufman and is
in fine, condition, with the probable
exception that he may be muscle
bound. His appearance indicates this
defect. Tremble is working at home
with Young Jensen and a pair of local
boxers.
There is no denying the great inter-
est which the fans are showing in this
match and the advance sale of seats
indicates that the big boys will be
greeted by a full house. The import
ance of the match as one of the elm
nation series and the excellent chance
which johnson has with the boy Won
der in the first real classy test the
Russian has had make the scrap more
than ordinarily attractive.

believed that this will be permitted to
keep either city from obtaining the
franchise, If this one consideration
alone Is the hinge upon which the de-
cision must swing. The citizens OF
either city probably would remove
whatever legal disadvantage that
might exist ~on this score.
All three cities have supporters
among the fans and it is decidedly
difficult to figure what result would
be obtained if the local fans were per-
mitted to vote upon the location oisthe
new club. The advantages of either
city are so strong that nobody ctn
foretell what would happen If a Yote
should be taken. However, 1t is kn,wn
that the contest would be a warm Pne
and it is believed that victory for
either city would be obtained by oily
small margin.
The recommendation of Hen Berry
will control, in a large measure, tie
action of the other interested parts
in the selection of the location OF TN
club, but such men as Jim Jeffriei
Mayor Harper, Jim Brooks and Fran
Goings, all of whom are interested II
the new club. will cast the decidina
votes when the question comes up foI
final action Transportation facilities,
population and the general sentiment
of the citizens in each of the three
cities will influence their votes In this
regard. Therefore, while Venice seems
to hold a slight edge at this time. pc
cause of its location so close to Santa
Monica, Ocean Park, Playa del Rey
and Redondo, and it may be chosen as
the location of the club, it has no
cinch on the honor, and the other cities
named will be in the fight when the
new club directors are ready to pass
upon the claims of the several rivals
for the honor. !.
1t is understood that Hap Hogan is
being groomed for the. job. OF captain
of the new team, but this bit of news
viii not set well in this part of the
country %ltn Hap is wanted right here in
Los Angeles and although his h;s f abiify
will be pleased to know that ms aoliIsS
has been recognized in such q com,
plimentary manner. Hen Berry should
not do too much kidding about let
ting the Happiness go to the new clup'
Han could fill the position, al! right
but unless he insists on going, the rams
will not stand for 1t.

1 THOUGH a franchise has be,

4 LTHOUGH a franchise has been
"a granted to Hen Berry for another
"A Coast league club in the south for
next season, nothing definite has been
decided as to where the club will be
placed and the franchise is an open
one in this regard. The general Inn
preston among the fans is that Venice
will draw the capital prize in this lot
terry, but a careful review of the sit
uation reveals that Venice has no such
snap in store for it at this time, al
though it ultimately may be given the
franchise. Long Beach, Ocean Park
and Pasadena still are in the running,
and each of these cities has strong
support that will be in evidence when
the time comes for making a selection.
Baseball Is a sentimental game and
is supported solely on sentiment, 1t
being the great national game and
thoroughly free of the communicating
influence of gambling that has wrecked
so many other legitimate sports, but
sentiment alone Is not sufficient 10
make league baseball a paying propo-
sition. Hence those who are putting
up the money for the new team will
look around a bit before deciding to
place the club in any city.
AS the situation is now Venice seems
to have a slight edge on Its rivals for
the honors, but those who Will nave a
voice in the directorate Of the new club
are of different opinions regarding the
location of the new team James
Woodlawn Brooks seems to prefer
Pasadena, and the other sportsmen
who will be interested in the club are
divided in choice between Venice and
Long Beach.
In the matter of transportation sery-
ice Long Beach and Pasadena have
decided advantage over Venice, and as
the new team must have some local
snnuort. even in games to be played at
the beach, this one item will prove a
strong factor in the consideration OF
the men of money behind the club.
Long Beach and Pasadena have
much larger population from which to
draw support for a team, and TINS
means that the games that the new
club will play in Los Angeles VIII De
attended in proportion to the popula-
ton of the fortunate city, IN addltlon
to the local attendance.
One important consideration, how
ever. will be the possibility of playing
Sunday games at Long Beach or Pasa-
dena. The schedule for next season
will include Sunday morning and Tues
day afternoon games in the city sup
portinE the club, all other games being
scheduled for Los Angeles. In the
event that Sunday morning games cam
not be played in Long Beach or Pasa-
dena these cities will be thrown out
of consideration in the choice of loca-
ton for the new club. But 1t is NOT

AMERICANS WIN
IN EVERY FINAL
ADD TWO GOLD MEDALS TO
THEIR COLLECTION
ALSO ANNEX MAJORITY OF THE
SEMI-FINALS
Sheppard Takes soo-Meter In Olympic
Record Time, and Porter Beats
All Rivals In High
Jump

BY Associated Pretl-
LONDON, July 21.-Melville w. Shop
pard of the Irish American Athletic
club, who took the measure of Eng
lands best distance men in the 1900
meters run at the Olympic games just
a week ago, scored another victory to-
day when he finished far in the lead
in the 800 meters event, establishing a
new Olympic record of 1852 AS for the
distance, and continuing on to the half
mile, which he ran in 1854 within
three-fifths of C. H. Kilpatrick's world
record, made in New York in 1895.
Another gold medal went to America
when Harry F. Porter of the Irish
American Athletic club captured the
high jump by clearing the bar at G
feet 3 inches and beating the Olympic
record made by j. K. Baxter in Paris
in 1900 of 6 feet 2 AS inches. After as
surfing himself that he was the win
ner, Porter went after the world rec
ord. The bar was placed at feet
81 inches, just one-eighth of an inch
higher than the record, which was
made by M. F. Sweeney in New York
in 1885, but it was just a shade too
much for him.
Better weather, a much larger at
tendance and exciting finishes made to-
days Olympic sports at the stadium
far more interesting than any that
have preceded them.
AS was expected, it was America S
day, for, besides winning the only two
final events, the American sprinters
won the great majority of the heats
in the other events. The running high
jump was the most keenly contested
event of the day. IT started in the
morning and not until after 6 O clock
was Porter proclaimed the winner.
In the first section of this event H.
A. Gidney, Boston Athletic club, was
defeated by Monson of Norway and
Leader of England, but after the other
sections had concluded, a protest was
entered on the ground that the spot
where the other sections contested was
more favorable to the jumpers than
that of the first section. The protest
was allowed and Gidney in the second
attempt did six feet one inch, thus
qualifying for the final. There, how
ever, he soon found more than his
match in Leahy, the Irish champion;
Porter, Somody of Hungary, and sew
eral others.
In his try for the world record Por-
ter made three attempts, but without
success. Leahy, Somody and Andre of
France tied for second place, each haV-
ing topped the bar at 6 feet 2 inches,
and although they tried 1t quarter of
an inch higher, none of them could ac-
compIlSn It, IL was decided TO give
each a silver medal, and award the
points for second and third places
equally among the three countries.
T. Moffit of the University of Chi
cago did feet / inch, which, as he
has been i'll since coming to England,
was q splendid performance.
The Americans sustained two disap-
pointments in the heats of the ZOO
meter fiat race, Lawson Robertson,
Irish-American A. c., being defeated
by Roche, the Irish champion, and F..
w. May, University Of Illinois, being
compelled to take the dust Of the feet

TT is remarkable that Al Kaufman

TT is remarkable that AL Kaufman
is unable to engage any OF the
a local heavyweights as sparring
prs er, all seeming to be afraid to
stack up against the big young kid,
even in a friendly boxing bout, and ne
has been forced to cut out that portion
of his daily routine. He is such a
husky fellow that only a rough-and-
tumble champion would be of any serv-
ice to him in giving him any bene-
fetal workout, and as he has been
unable to get such a sparring partner,
Billy Delaney ordered him to cut out
the boxing portion of his afternoon
workout yesterday, and he VIII not
box again during the training period.
AL is in great condition right now,
his appearance and actions indicating
that he is fit and ready for the battle
of his life. He is the finest specimen
of the perfectly trained fighter that
has been seen around here in a long
time, his muscular development re-
minding one of a wrestler or physical
culture exhibit. While his muscles are
wonderfully developed and stand out
boldly in proof of his good physical
condition, his actions in the training
ring are equally as good proof that
he is not overturned in any degree,
and the ea-e and grace with which he
goes through the various stunts at the
weights, pulleys and in shadow boxing
prove that he is faster than ever and
probably better trained than ever be-
fore.
This fight means more to Kaufman
than to johnson, as the native son
is regarded as a near-finished product
of the championship mill and about
ready to step into the spotlight as the
real contender with Burns and Jack
johnson for the active title. A defeat by
Johnson would mean that ..e is over
rated and the loss in prestige would
be sufficient to put him back in the
second or third division.
Despite these facts Kaufman and
Delaney are supremacy confident re-
garding the result. In fact, Delaney,
usually conservative, speaks almost in
tones of contempt when discussing the
chances of Johnson against Kauf-
mann. He said yesterday:
why, / cannot see for the life of
me where this Russian has more than
an ordinary chance to win. They tell
me he has a punch and can take pun
ishment, but If he could not stop
Flynn when he had the fireman down
and nearly out, he will have a gay
time of doing anything to AL You
