Amateur Athletic association to the ef-
feet that the swimming championships
of the state of California would be held
in Los Angeles during the week OF the
lllks' reunion in 1909. as per the request
of Secretary Henry.
= Sanction previously had been given
by the Amateur Athletic association of
the Pacific Northwest for holding the
northwest swimming championships in
Los Angeles during the week of the
Elks' reunion. This will bring together
in Los Angeles the best swimmers of
the west and If everything turns out
as Secretary Henry is planning the af-
fair will be the biggest aquatic carnival
ever held on the Pacific coast. 1t is not
extravagant to hope that many records
will be broken and Southern California
swimmers will take ample time to
round into form so as to annex many
of the honors that will be at stake.

Norman Stone and Willie Mack were
! first on the docket, being scheduled for
a siX-round bout, but after two min
utes of fighting Mack put Stone down
with right to the jaw and repeated
when Stone arose. Stone was helpless
and had no chance to win, so Referee
Blake stopped the fight. The boys

the first knockdown, with Mack prov
ing much the best. After Mack had
left the ring Stone and his seconds
started out, but Stone was so weak that
he fell to the floor and had to be car
ried to his dressing room.
The second number on the program
was the scheduled six-round bout be-

Fisher whips snyder
Fisher got in the first good wallop Of
the bout after about a minute of fight
ing in the first round, when he planted
right haymaker to the head that jar
red Snyder considerably. Both boys
then went at it la rough house and
landed frequently with haymaker taps
that hurt. Fisher had the better of the
first round.
Fisher opened the second round vigo-
rously and began to fight in his usual
confident manner. Snyder also got
busy and started great rally, in which
he pummeled the San Berdoo lad hard
and effectively for a few seconds, but
seemed unable to make any impression
upon the tough kid from San Berdoo.
Fisher kept up his aggressive. tactitcs,
however, and hammered Snyder all
over the ring and had a good lead at
the end of the round.
The third round also was Fishers, al
though neither boy did any great
amount of damage in this round. Fisher
continued in the aggressive and neatly
blocked his opponents leads, while put
ting in a few timely wallops on his
own account. The ropes prevented Sny-
der from falling in the fourth round,
when Fisher put another right hay
maker over to the head and followed 1t
with severe leads to the body. Snyder
began to hold afterwards and seemed to
have been hurt Fisher had this round
by big margin.
The fifth was the best round of the
fight, 1t was a whirlwind affair from
the tap of the gong, with Fisher hit
ting Snyder almost at will and admin
istering severe punishment. Snyder
was very tired at the gong, although
he practically had stalled through the
round. Both were very tired at the
start of the sixth round. Snyder tried
to put up winning finish, but found
Fisher willing to mix it. They made
such a rough house finish that the
crowd got on it's feet and cheered en-
Enthusiastically, but Fisher had a shade
the better of the round and easily
earned the decision.
