KAUFM N-BARRY 60
Winner of Wednesday Night s Fight Will Probably Meet Johnson for Cham
 pionship,

Now that Jack Johnson Is heavy weight champion pugiist of the world hc undoubtedly will begin to look around for some men to fight him. His first chance to select an opponent will be given him on Wednesday night when he will probably challenge, or be challenged by, the winner of the Kauf- man Barry fight in Los Angeles, Cal.
 The Kaufman-B Barry fight promises to be an exceedingly fast bout, being scheduled to go 45 rounds. Both of the boys have fairly good records and the incentive of challenging John son for the championship, iill prob ably spur them on to greater efforts.
 Jimmy Barry is well known in Connecticut having appeared at Bridgeport and having trained at Cap tain Bonds quarters at Stratford in preparation for his go with Sam Lang ford.
 During the last year he met the coi- ored boxer twice and was put out by him both times in three and two rounds respectively. This does not show up well for him and would seem to indicate that Billy" Delaney's pro- tege, Kaufman, is to have the better of the bout when they meet at Jeff fries club on Wednesday night.
 Kaufman. has very good record back of him despite the fact that he has fought but few men during the last two years. Tn 1907 he was put to speel by Jack oBrien in seventeen rounds Since then he has f1ught and won twelve bouts, nine of them being decisive knocl1outs. His longest fight was lsth N Twin Sullivan whom he fought on November 2S, 1907. final ly securing the decision over him in twenty-five rounds.
 The bout for Wednesday evening is practically a finish one being schedul- ed to go AS rounds, but 1t is safe to say that the bout will fall far short of the limit.

EASTERLY BREEZES
Massachusetts Bay Probable Center of Interest in Boat
 Sailing Next Season.
GERMAN ROYALTY TO COME
Representatives from Across Water V Witness Sondcr Class Races
 Canadians Also Coming.

Boston Dec.' '27.-With three inter- national yacht contests, two long dls- tance power boat affairs, perhaps an- other ocean race to Bermuda and any number of minor events, 1t Is likely that the interest in pleasure boat sailing next summer will center large- ly in the waters of Massachusetts Bay, while a visit from two representatives of German royalty, Prince Henry of son of Emperor William, will lend official dignity to the sport for the first time in this country.
 The Sonder races which proved so successful three years ago at Marble head and two years ago at Kiel, will have their third renewal next summer again at Marblehead Each country has now won an event and this year the Germans will send another team of three yachts. Prince Henry has entered boat for the trial races in Germany
 The second of the International events will be off Manchester. Mass. in which CaJ<dlan yachtsmen will en- deavor to recapture the Seawanhaka- Corlnthian cup, now in the custody of the Manchester Yacht club.
 There will also be another race for dories for the Wagner-Lovett cup. won two years ago at Shelburne, N. s.. by Marblehead shippers and success fully defended last summer.
 According to precedent. 1t will bs the Eastern Yacht clubs turn this year to take charge of the annual ocean race for large yachts to Ber- muda. Another event to attract wide- spread interest will be the power boat races which will be run from New York to Marblehead and from Hull, Mass, to Shelburne, N. s.

ROWDYISM MUST 60 National Polo League Managers Greatly Alarmed at Number
 of Fistic Encounters. REFEREES ARE CAUTIONED Must Call Third Foul Whenever Nee cssarS-IaXity Not to Bc
 Tolerated.
REFEREES ARE CAUTI0ME[

Alarmed at the frequent exhibitions of rough playing that are being shown in the polo games throughout the cir- chit, the officials of the league have taken determined stand to stamp out rowdyism Oflato too many nstlc en- counters have been noticed on the various floors and this the managers think tends towards degradation of the sport.
 The referees have been warned to take drastic action by the letter sent out Saturday by Secretary W. D. Per- rim of Providence and tis hoped that the end of rowdyism has been reached not only at the local rink, but at the rlnks throughout the whole circuit. Secretary Perrln's letter follows;
 The attention of managers and ref erees is particularly called 10 the in- creasng tendency to foul work rough playing and rowdyism on the part of players, as almost daily printed In the press reports of the games Fist fights are becoming frequent. The gamo Is bound to suffer If this condi- ton of affairs is not remedicd A due regard for the welfare of the sport and the business interests of club owners who have their money invested iu the game of polo demands that this state of affairs comes to an end. It Is up to the managers to put stop to it be- fore 1t Is too late. The secretary sug gests that such action hc taken AS win insure clean games in the future.
 Referees are cautioned and n- structed to apply the rules as laid down vigorously, without fear or favor. A third foul is 4 foul as much as the first and second, and must bc called. no matter who suffers or what its effect may be on the game then be- ing played Laxlty In this respect will not be tolerated in the future.
 Respectfully.

ANOTHER BIG FIGHT.
Kaufman Barry Mix Up Wednesda,
 Attracting Attention.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 27.--The 4S round prize fight scheduled to be held before the Jeffries Athletic club at Vernon next Wednesday night. be- tween Al Kaufman of San Francisco and Jim Barry of Chicago, is one of the most important heavyweight fstio contests to be fought in recentmonths because of the likelihood that the winner will meet Jack Johnson, negro conqueror of Tommy Burns, for the championship of tn world. M
 Barry has already signfed his willingness to meet Johnson, if suc- cessful in beating Kaufman, but Billy Delaney, manager for Kaufman, de- clares that under no circumstances will he permit his man to meet negro in the ring. Delaney declares that if Kaufman fights Johnson 1t will be under other management than his. Kaufman has nothing to say, leaving the decision to his manager.
 Before the Australian contest was decided, James J. Jeffries wired both Burns and Johnson, asking for re- ply as to their willingness to meet the victor in next Wednesdays fight in Los Angeles Both Burns and John son replied that they were willing. A conclusion of final arrangements awaits the time of Johnsons return to this country.
 It is possible that the winner of the Kaufman and Barry fight may meet another fighter before meeting Johnson.
