that am every bit as game. Just dope
1t out for yourself and show me a real
point in his favor aside from the
poundage."
Concede CIeVerness to Barry
Barry apparently has the situation
sized up similar to the way many of
the wise fans are figul ing. Fhey allow
Kaufman all the advantage in weight,
give him a slight shade in ganeneSS,
but concede everything else to Barry.
1t is an open question as to which has
the harder kick, but if either manages
to land clean cut blow it means cur
tains for the other man, as no human
being can stand up under the best
punch Barry or Kaufman is capable
of handing out.
Matchmaker Long of the Jeffries
club has not yet announced the pre-
liminary to the big bout, but it will in
all probability be a siX-round affair
between boys of mediocre ability.
with a main event of such class, to-
gether with the forty -hve-round
clause, nothing much in the line of a
curtain raiser is needed, for the big
bout stands by itself and nothing could
be done to add to the attractiVeness
of the evenings sport.
Extensive programs have been
fans will doubtless welcome the chance
to see the big boys in action. Monday
will see Barry taking his final rest.
and Tuesday he and Manager Murphy
will journey into the country to stay
all day No weighing in is needed for
this battle, and any announcement of
poundage will be made only to satisfy
public curiosity. Kaufman will stay
at Venice until the afternoon of the
bout, when he will come up town to
dinner and proceed TO what will either
make or break him as a contender for
the heavyweight championship of the
world
Betting on the bout has been rather
lax because of the Johnson Burns mill
in Australia, but with this important
event out of the way the moneyed ones
are turning their attention Vernon
ward and both Barry and Kaufman
are receiving liberal support. Kauf-
mann rules favorite at 10 to 8, but
a scarcity of Barry money may make
itself felt and cause the odds to drop
q point, or maybe two.

DISCUSSION
FANS WANT TO KNOW IF GEORGE
is AS GOOD AS EVER
Argue That If Such ls'tHe Case, There
Are Lively Times Ahead for the
Little English Lightweight
Champion

Much interest attaches to the ten
round scrap between Freddie Welsh
and George Memsic, which Manager
McCarey will stage at his Maud juno
ton pavilion the night of January D.
This interest is explained in the taet
that it will be the first local appear
ance of Memsic in many months, anu
the fans are curious enough TO want
to know whether George has recovered
that sensational form which MADE me
fans predict that he would be hghl-
weight champion some day.
In the event that Memsic has recoV-
cred his form of two years ago there
is a lively time in store for Freddie
as Memsic is q speedy, clever ana ter
rifle walloping scrappcr who believes
in going in to win in the first round
and battles so furiously that he always
sets the pace for his opponents. II he
is the Memsic of old he will give Fred
die the biggest scare OF his young Ire
Freddie is training for this engage
ment with the same degree of earnest
ness that he would put into his work
If he were training for a world cham
pionship battle. He has become es-
tablished here and instead of having
to fight for a reputation he has repu-
tation to protect. He is wise Kid
and does not belleVe in taxing any uH-
necessary risks, which accounts for the
fact that he is grinding away every
day at Venice in his efforts at attain
ing his best speed and punch and con-
dition for this battle Defeat would
terribly upset his plans and hesitate
his climb up the ladder to the cham
pionship So he is not taking any
chances whatever
Memsic has been training along
systematic lines, although doing only
light work for several weeks and is in
good condition at this time. He will
round out the training period with an
other week of the strenuous life at
the Eastside club and expects to enter
the ring fit to battle for his life. He
is enthusiastic regarding the oppor-
tunity given him to prove to the Los
Angeles fans that he is back in form,
can make the lightweight limit with
ease and is still a serious contender
for the world championship.

ULTIMATUM Of
EASTERN ROADS
Will Either Raise Freight Rates
or Reduce Wages of
Employees.

Chicago, May 15.-Delegates from fifty
commercial and shippers associations of
the east and middle west met in confer
ence here today to discuss means of pre-
venting eastern railroads from carrying
into effect a proposed increase in freight
rates.
Fred W. UDham. president of the Ili-
nois Manufacturers association in an
address, said that while the railroads
were contemplating increasing their
reducing their gross expenses, and In
numerous instances supported this state
ment. Freight rates. he said are very
much higher in proportion to the cost
Of handling the business than passenger
rates.
A break in the program was occasioned
by the unexpected appearance of w. c.
Brown. vice president of the New York
Central lines. who admitted that the
railroads intended TO make a moderate IN
crease in freight rates. but said the ae-
ton was absolutely necessary. Mr. Brown
said:
IF the business interests of the nation
shall after mature consideration say that
railroad rates shall not be advanced,
doubt if it can be done; but it should
be understood clearly, definitely and be-
yond all question of doubt that in say
ing this they say just as clearly and def
initely that the wages of the great army
of $4,000 railroad employees shall be re-
duced, and they must accept their full
measure of responsibility for the results -
