ANXIOUS REGARDING
HIGH SCHOOL COASH

Who Will Direct the "HIIP
Boys In Track, Football

Great interest and no little anxiety
is being manifested among the stu
dents of the different high schools and
colleges as to who will be selected to
coach Los Angeles high school in foot
ball, baseball and track events next
season. Rumor has 1t that Ralph No
BILE, formerly coach of Pomona college,
and later coach of the Santa Ana high
school, will be seen in pigskin practice
games this season for the Hill boys,
while others have 1t that shorty
Roesch will be back again. If Noble
should take charge of athletics at Los
Angeles high this year, he will have
nearly all the old men back again to
form strong line.
There is some talk of Los Angeles
high taking up Rugby football, but
no definite action has been taken, as
Professor Housh is spending his vaca-
ton in the wilds of the San Bernar-
dino mountains in quest of deer and
doves.
News was received in this city yes
terday that Physical Director E. H.
Ruienz of Orange Y. M. c. A., and
Professor Ed Merwin of the Long

ent, are on their way south.
At a meeting of the Whittier high
school trustees yesterday at Whittier,
Professor o. e. Rodgers was reap
pointed as basketball director at an in
creased salary. Rodgers was secretary
of the county high school basketball
league last season. The league was
composed of eight schools. r. E. Ev-
erett of the same institution was elect
ed athletic director to have full charge
of track, football, baseball and tennis
events.
Coach Harvey Holmes said last night
that the new gymnasium on the U. 5.
G. campus is nearly completed and by
the time vacation is over it will be
ready for use.
Walter Hempel of st. Vincent's is
spending his time in the northern
cities looking up new material for the
st. Vincent football team, and from
a letter received by a friend the other

eraI fast athletes in sight who will
enter the Grand avenue college next

Walter Rheinchild, former st. Vim
cent football player and who played
tackle for Michigan this season, has

ton state college at Pullman this year.

SNAILHAM AND TEX
FIGHT ENDS IN DRAW
San Diego Sports Witness WhirIwind
Twenty-Round Scrap That Was
So Even That Referee Could
Not Give a Decision
Special to The Herald.

SAN DIEGO, July 22.-Billy Snail
ham of San Francisco and Kid Texas
of Pueblo, Colo, tonight fought a 20
round draw before the Bay City Ath-
letic club. The fight was witnessed by
a fair sized crowd. 1t was hurricane
affair from start to finish and was one
of the best seen in San Diego in some
time. In the eighth round Texas drew
blood from Snailham's nose and in the
fourteenth he opened Snailham's left
eye Snailham almost had Texas out
in the thirteenth round. He got in a
hard right punch to the jaw and fol-
lowed a moment later with another to
same place. Texas was compelled to
clinch desperately to last out the
round. When the gong rang he was
decidedly groggy and could not have
lasted much longer. The last half dozen
rounds of the fight were so even that
Referee George Blake of Los Angeles
could not pick the winner, and the
draw decision was well received by the
crowd.

be Gaines instructions to the Russian
to go after Kaufman from the first
jump, run him down and knock his
block off in hurry claiming that Al
is no match for johnson in slugging
bee,
Kaufman Only Smiles
Kaufman is making one mistake
and that is his magnificent confidence
in his ability to whip Johnson quickly
and decisively. He really is inclined
to regard the fight as a joke, declining
to give Bat more than a chance to win.
He and Delaney know the Johnson
who fought in preliminaries around San
Francisco, but neither has seen the
fighter who has shown to such sensa-
tional advantage in the south recently,
johnson is improved so greatly that
none of his Frisco friends or enemies
would recognize the same fighter in
the south that they once saw in pre-
Inns up north.
AL has a punch that has done more
than Johnsons wallop and has been
proved against better men than John
son has fought. He is tall, solidly
built, perfectly trained. fast and clever.
and has some reason to feel like a
winner. but overconfidence often proves
big handicap to a fighter. 1t gener-
ally is believed that Al has everything
that Johnson can claim as an advan-
tage, unless 1t be the marvellous rug
gedness and stamina of the Russian.
Al can take lot of beating and then
win, as he proved in his fight with
Berger whom he knocked out.
Should Be Real FIGHT
With two young giants of the proved
class of Kaufman and johnson stand
ing up and mau1ing away at each other,
there is only one thing absolutely cer-
sensation from first to last, and it
should not go over five rounds. If either
gets home square punch to the jaw
the fight will end Immediately after
ward Al is clever enough to offer some
defense against the Johnson attack,
while Johnson cares about as much
for the wallops of his opponent as
duck cares for a rainstorm.
Neither will run away. Both will
stand up to the scratch and take every
thing sent his way in utter fearless
ness of the result 1t will be another
case of an irresistible force meeting
an immovable object and annihilation
seems to be the logical result. There
is quite a difference of opinion among
the fans as to which has the hardes-
wallop, and 1t seems to be most PROB
able that they are evenly matched In
this regard. If this is true, Kaufman
should be favored to win, as his supe-
rior cleverness, generalship, experience,
height and cool head are big factors ir
all his fights.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The pro-

prospects of an early scrap with the
Dane for the world championship.
