beginner at the game, having fought
many good battles at Frisco and
against better men that Kutchos. ana
it generally is believed that Kutchos
has taken a bigger contract than ne
can get away with. In the event that
he turns the trick, however, he will
prove his claims to better class than
he has been able to show thus far.

exciting bout of the evening Will De

Billy Morris, the lad who won his
first fight at the last McCarey show by

better than the average enthusiastic
maulers matched against each other,

Made Attractive by Fact That

From the viewpoint of the fan who
ring battles, the card that Uncle Tom
McCarey has arranged for next Tues
lay night is the best that he has
offered in the minor event line in u
ong time. 1t brings together real
lighters, who put plenty of action into
their scraps and make things hum from
gong to finish. With such favorites as
Picato, Morris, Kutchos. Abdul the
Turk and Jimmy Austin in action there
should be slight fear that the card will
fail to give entire satisfaction.
1t is regretted that Young McGovern
and Jack Kennedy had to run out of
their matches at such a late day, but
Eddie Lennon, a crackerjack slugger
from San Francisco, has been substi-
tuted for McGovern and the card Is
vastly improved by the change. Ken
needy is reported to have sustained an
injury to his eye which will prevent
i'm from meeting Picato in what was
\ expected to be one of the feature
vents, and it is improbable that the
nbeaten lightweight will be on the

are to tackle such big mans job on
ich short notice.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE An
gels resumed their winning streak with
Oakland today by beating them in a
10 to 6 game that vas featured by
heavy batting on both sides. The Wis
itors excelled at bat, however, and were
fortunate enough to get hits when they
meant runs. Hardy pitched good ball
for six innings, when, with the score
to in favor of Oakland, he let down
and was found in the seventh for three
hits and four runs. The Angels turned
three hits into as many runs in the
ninth inning, clinching the game.
All the visitors pounded the ball and
ran the bases like major leaguers,
showing a reversal of form from yes
terday that was most remarkable. Har-
ry was unsteady throughout and gave
nine bases on balls, striking out only
three Angel batters Delmas, Jud
