PRELIMINARY CARD
IS BEING ARRANGED
Leonard Lauder VS.. Bubbles Robinson
and Mike kutchos VS.. Jap oyama
viii Be the Main Ten-
Round Windups

The local colony of future world
champions of the ring is to have its
innings at the McCarey fight house this
summer, and as McCarey has decided
to put on a card made up from his
small army of preliminary fighters once
each week there will be great joy in
pork and bean land. The first prelimi-
nary tussle will be pulled off next week,
June 10 being the date, and five bouts
will be staged that night. Leonard Lau-
der, one of the most promising boys de-
veloped at the McCarey champion fac
tory since Harry Baker was turned
out, and Bubbles Robinson, the clever
black wonder that Joe Cans developed,
are carded as the headliner OF the card,
and they will go ten rounds at 100
pounds.
Lauder has done everything that ever
has been asked of him, and has been a
consistent and agreeable surprise for
his friends who have followed his pro-
gress in pugilism. He is local boy
and was developed from the prelimi-
nary class into a first class main event
attraction. His cleverness, speed. hit
ting and courage stamp him as a fighter
of great promise His opponent, Bub-
bles Robinson, also has been the mar
vel of the fans since he jumped into the
limelight few months ago. He is a
natural fighter, clever and speedy, and
has d SOOu puIlCIl. I1b 10 IL LNO-udlluSu
fighter and no opponent has been found
who can rattle him. Under the tutelage
of Cans he has developed fast, and
there really is little to base a choice of
winner between the two boys.
Mike Kutchos, the chesty little Greek
who has been so successful in prelimi-
nary engagements in the local ring in
the last six months, draws Eddie Robin
sons protege, Jap Oyama, for his OPP
ponent, and they will go ten rounds, ac-
cording to schedule. Robinson has great
hopes for Oyama and is putting him
through a strenuous course of instruc-
ton in the manly art. Kutchos has a
kick in either glove that will discour-
age the average fighter in his class,
but Robinson has no fears for his ORR
entail. Three other bouts over a six
round route will complete the card and
with the two ten-round Windup affairs
as a sample, the Offering should be
above the standard of prelim affairs.

The employees of Cy Myrick at Vernon

WELSH MAY ACCEPT
VENICE PROPOSITION
VENETIANS WANT HIM TO
TRAIN THERE
Enter Upon the Strenuous Life
Monday Morning-Sister
Sustains Injury

Freddie Welsh. the gentlemanly
lightweight champion of England who
is to fight Packey Mcfarland before
the Jeffries club July 4, went out to
Venice yesterday afternoon to select
training quarters and received such
cordial welcome that he decided to es-
tablish his training quarters there if
the minor details can be arranged sat
isfactorily. When it became known
that he was looking for location for
training quarters at the seaside and
was undecided in choice between San
Pedro and Venice, j. F. Morley and
others interested in Venice business
affairs lost no time in exploiting the
advantages Venice offered and in max
ing a proposition so liberal in nature
that Welsh hardly will be able to re-
fuse.
He will meet them at Venice again
this afternoon, when a definite de-
cision will be made. Welsh says that
he will train at Venice and since the
Venetians want him so much it seems
assured that no minor detail will be
permitted to interfere with these plans.
The quarters offered Welsh are To-
Gated in the bath house, Immediately
| off the main street of the city. where
every convenience for himself and the
| interested public is to be had. A mod
ern gymnasium will be fitted up for
him and two cottages, one for him.
self and sister and another for his
training staff, will be furnished free
of cost, and it is stipulated that no
admission fee will be charged the pub
lie for attending the workouts.
Welsh returned yesterday from San
Diego and says he will begin light
training. mostly road work, this morn
ing and will start to real training
Monday. Kid Carsey, who assisted
him in training for the fight with
| Brock, will be his chief sparring part
ner, and others, including assistants
in his gymnasium work, will be added.
Welsh realizes that much will be ex-
pected of him in his fight against the
unbeaten Chicago boy, and he will get
busy at training without delay and
whip himself into condition to fulfill
all expectations.
His sister, Miss Kate Welsh, who
accompanies him on his fighting tours,
was stung by a stingaree While in
bathing at Coronado this week and is
unable to walk. Prompt medical as
sistance probably has removed any
danger that otherwise might have re-
suited. She will go with him to Ven
ice when he begins training.

all at the fiat track meet held at San

AVALON, June 10.-The largest yell
lowtail caught in the past five years
was brought in at noon yesterday by
C. L. Smith of Oakland. Mr.. Smith
hooked the fish just off Pebbly beach
and the struggle began in earnest.
The fish headed straight out to sea
and took out about 700 feet Of line be-
fore the angler could stop him. AS
soon as Mr. Smith started to reel in
the fish began a series of circles that
taxed the sportsman's ability to the
uttermost.
After circling for few minutes the
fish headed out to sea again, taking
nearly all the line.
Finally the angler succeeded in
bringing him within twenty-five feet
of the launch, when he went under
the launch, splitting the pole, but Mr..
Smith finally succeeded in bringing
it to gaff after twenty-three minutes
of the hardest kind of exertion.
When the fish was weighed at Av-
alon it tipped the scales at forty-five
and a half pounds.
Heavy tackle was used, otherwise
the angler would have received a gold
button from the Catalina Light Tackle
club.

have twice e'eeted him governor of
Minnesota. these friends have pretty

llur Parish Sunerintendents.

The action of the Ascension school
board in selecting Prof. G. J. Brown
as parish superintendent of public ed
ucation, to fill the vacancy resulting
from the resignation of Prof. D. 3.
Showalter, is worthy of hearty conn
mendation and general approval. Mr..
Brown is an educator of unquestIoned
ability and extensive experience whose
creditable achievements in other fields
give assurance that he will prove
worthy successor of the talented and
popular gentleman who has for the
past four years supervised the public
schools of this parish with such excel
lent results.
Prof. Browns connection with pub
lie school work in this state covers
period OF nearly fifteen years. He is
a graduate of the Louisiana State
Normal School at Natchiboches, and
his service as a teacher has embraced
assignments at the Lake Charles High
School and several other points in
Calcasieu parish, AID the PRINCIPAL
ships of the Loreauville graded school,
Iberia parish; the WinIsboro high
school, Franklin parish; the Jeaner
cite high school, Iberia parish, and
the PIaquemine high school, Iberville
parish. For the past two years he has
served as parish superintendent of the
IberVille schools, and was recently re-
elected for another term, but he has
concluded to accept the call to Ascen.
sion. His term of Office began on the
10th inst, and he will enter upon the
discharge of his duties within the next
few days.
The Chief 'sspeeds the parting guest
and welcomes the new" The entire
community will join us in bidding an
afectionate farewell to Prof. Showal-
ter, who has endeared himself to the
people of this parish by his admirable
official service, his catholic public
spirit and his attractive personality.
We hope and believe that in his new
position as superintendent of the Rap
ides parish schools he will add fresh
laurels to his already fine repute as
an educator and demonstrate his fit
ness to be called to still higher posts
of duty in his chosen field of labor.
To Prof. Brown we extend cordial
greeting and the wish that he may sue
coed in winning the favor OF our peo-
pie and conducting the affairs of his
Office as successfully as his predeces-
sor has done.
