awkward or too green" at the game
to put it over on clever fighter like
Baker.
1t was about fifteen minutes after
the end of the preliminary fight before
either of the principals in the main
event showed up. Many fans who had
heard of the squabble over the APP
pointment of a referee became sus-
picious that Manager McRea for
Brock was about to make good his
threat not to fight unless Jeffries ref
creed, but this was a mistaken i'm
preston, as McRea had accepted
Walsh for the job and there was no
hitch of any kind.
Carsey was first to enter the ring,
arriving at 9;40 o'clock with his sec
onds, Charlie Anslinger, Joe Lazelle
and Kid Wise. Brock followed about
five minutes later, with Manager Nc
Rea, Bill Aldridge and Danny Web
ster, his seconds. Announcer Leslie
stepped into the ring and after the
fighters posed for photographs an
nounced the principals and the fact
that Tommy Walsh would referee. The
fans gave evidence of the popularity
of Walsh's selection in an ovation of
cheers and handclapping, something
rather out of the ordinary, as all ref
erees generally are supposed to be un-
popular with the fans until they rem
der a decision that calls for cheering.
After Referee Walsh had instructed
the boys as to their conduct in the
scrap he gave the signal for the gong
and the fight was on. The fight by
rounds was as follows:

THE SPORTING WORLD
AMONG THE BOYS

Jim Pitcher is proud of the success
of his young giant, Billy Morris, and
viii push him to the front with all
possible speed. He is not picking his
opponents, believing that Billy VIII
whip them all as fast as they can be
trotted out, and If Billy happens to
whip another big fellow in such de-
cisive manner as he has won both his
fights he is apt to wake up some hne
morning and see where he Is matched
with Jim Jeffries. Pitcher will bet q
little that Billy will whip any of them
in another year, and this is no Kid.
CIV Myrick really is fattening up and
never appeared in such excellent health
as now. He is living the simple life,
attends to his office business and let's
the pool room run itself, and is enjoy
ing life every minute. Those friends
who were listening for the announce
ment of his death last winter do not
recognize the same man today, and his
recovered health is the source OF graf
ification among his big circle of friends
here and everywhere,
Ju Russell has the sign on Ripper,
Krause and Griffith when 1t comes to
playing the interesting game of rota-
ton pool, and this trio always tries
more to leave him safe than to play
for any particular ball, The quartet
always furnishes spectators with no
end of amusement during their games,
their line of conversation being fun
nier than minstrel show any time,
while their facial expressions when
they miss their own ball are mirth-
provoking.
Baron Long and NJ. Oki Fan write an
interesting account of their experiences

The latter says that they were forced

Hen Berry is said to have purchased
a new hat. That would be no news
story, ordinarily, as Hen buys lid
about once a day regularly, but this
time he is affecting a green creation
that always starts a riot whenever he
appears in a crowd. He attributes the
success of the Angels in the series with
Oakland solely to the fact that he was
wearing the green. Hen is as foolish
about his raiment as a gayety girl,
and has so many articles OF clothing
that he is considering the idea of
building an addition to his home, so he
can have a secondhand store room.

FIGHT BY ROUNDS
Round One

Hound one
The boys went at it from the tap Of
the gong, both being willing to mix it,
and Brock climbed into Carsey with
the first wallop, being met with as
good as he sent. They fought fast
throughout, putting steam into their
blows that showed the truth in the
story that it was to be a grudge fight.
Carsey fought more cleverly, but each
landed vigorously. At the sound of
the gong Brock was rushing Carsey
and refused to quit until he had
knocked the Chicago boy out of the
ring into the crowd. 1t was Brooks
round.
Round Two
Brock rushed Carsey Immediately and
they went to a clinch. Breaking out of
it. Carsey landed several rights and
Iefts to the head, but Brock came
back and more than eYened up by put
ting a succession of swings to the
head Brock landed fiercely to the wind
and repeated. Phil caught Carsey with
a left to the jaw that sent him reel
ing, but ne quickly recovered and they
mixed it fercely. Brock showed more
cleverness. and both boys stopped
many swings with their heads, but
Brock was doing the more effective
work at the gong Brooks round.
Round Three
Phil rushed Carssy and put a light
left 70 the JAZZ. Frank landed left to
wind IN a fierce nlizup in center Of
ring and then crossed with his right.
Carsey put uppereut 10 Jaw as they
met in rush. Carsey uppercut with left
and then they mixed Il IN a neutral
corner, both landing repeatedly 10 face

nHIL BROCK settled lis
grudge with FIR a n k
Il Carsey last night by
knocking out the Chicago
boy in the twentieth round
of their scheduled twenty
five-round fight at Jeffries'
Vernon club. The end came
after twenty rounds of the
greatest fighting ever ex-
hibited in Los Angeles, dur
ing which both boys fought
at full speed every second
Of the time and were maui
ing each other in q manner
that kept the fans in an up
roar throughout.
The knockout came as q
result of two left hooks to
the jaw, after the boys had
mixed in a fierce walloplng
stunt in a neutral corner,
Brock hooking his left to
the Jaw the first time so
forcibly that Carsey was
staggered and made groggy.
Afterward Carsey was I'M
able to properly defend
himself and a few seconds
later Brock hooked another
left to the Jaw and Carsey
went down and was counted
out.
Carsey was hurt by the
final blow, remaining I'M
conscious for fully ten min
utes. The club physicians
worked over him for this
length of time before he re-
vived sufficiently to sit up,
and he was groggy for a
long time afterward.
In the preliminary bout
Howard Baker defeated AL
Vogt, the sailor boy, getting
the decision at the end of
fifteen rounds of scrappy
milling. Vogt proved to be
a huge surprise party for
Baker and the fans, as 1t
was believed that he would
be easy picking for the
clever fighter. Vogt is a
marvel at taking punish
ment and during the fifteen
rounds he stopped innumer-
able smashes to the jaw
that seemed to carry enough
steam to fell an OK, but he
was not dazed at any time
and never was in danger of
being knocked out. He is
in a class with Joe Grim,
Battling Nelson. Cyclone
