AMONG THE BOYS

Joseph Morley. one of the real draw
ing cards at Venice. has developed into
an orator of no mean pretensions. He
Is heartily in favor of good roads, and
recently he went before the village
council and expatiated upon the sub
ject until the councilmen became sus-
picious that they were to be made the
victims of another filibustering cam
paign, similar to that which was car
ried on in congress few weeks back.
Jim talked so much about good roads
that the councilmen concluded to side
in with him to get him to stop Grating.
There Ia considerable class to Jim in
anything that he tackles.
Beorge Blake, official referee of the
San Diego fight club, handled the Bak-
er-Vogt preliminary at Vernon few
nights ago and acquitted himself in a
creditable manner. George knows about
all that any other fellow knows about
the game, even if he has kept out OF
the local spotlight in a great degree.
One thing that has kept Blake in the
background is his modesty; he will not
run around after fighters for a job, so
any time he is seen in the ring 1t is a
safe gamble he has been selected with
out solicitation.
Joe murphy Always idS D66ll lO6eAAU
ed as a game sportsman, but he
| ''welshed'' yesterday afternoon in an
appointment to play Phil Brock bun
die of 15-ball pool. Joe is only dub
at the game, believe me, and is too
cautious to take any chances with a
winner Of the Brock type. He accept
ed the offer Of the match, however, and
should have stuck, but when Phil
showed up to play Joe said he had
played so long that he was weary, and
| the match was not pulled off.
Jack Doyle toted pair of bottles of
ffzz water to ringside Friday night with
the intention of popping the corks In
the ring when Carsey knocked out
Brock. Long about the tenth round
Jack confided his secret to a friend.
giving him one of the bottles to un-
cork, so there would be genuine out
burst of enthusiasm when the big thing
came off, but Brock put a crimp in the
plans by his unseemly conduct in the
| twentieth and Jack angrily threw both
bottles in the ring when Carsey took
the count. McRea says Jack should
have been game enough to pop the
corks anyway.
When the Elks' special arrived al
Ell Paso, on the way to Dallas, some
of the boys decided to have some fur
fries Quite bunch of the Ell Pasc
population was at Union station t.
greet the antlered tribe and queries
were made as to where is jeff" Doug
| las White of the Salt Lake answered
| the question by pointing out Freddie
Maier, and for quite while Freddie
was known in Ell Paso as the unde
feated champion of the world. At on'
| of the hotels dub fighter was intro
duced to Freddie, and the dub said
'fWhy, hello, jim! You don't remem

as natural as the day you gave OLE

''Oh, don't you kid me, jim sail
the rnutto boy, II know you all right

Then Freddie and White almost cam
| to blows.
