clever and speedy as O'Brien. The
Philadelphian fooled me and, while AL
got the experience, his defeat put a
blot in his record that I shall always
regret. Yet that battle proved to me
and to the world that Al is one of
the gamest fighters that ever stepped
into a ring, and that his courage and
class never can be questioned. In this
regard, 1 consider the fight with
O'Brien as a most valuable, even if
dear, experience for him.
That was the only defeat he ever
has sustained and he has been meet
ing all comers who appealed to the pub
lie as possible heavyweight champion
ship contenders. He has shown steady
improvement in each succeeding fight,
and the fact that he has knocked out
his opponents with almost startling
regularity proves that he has the punch
to beat even a man like Burns. There
really is no one left for him to fight
now, with the execution of Barry and
Burns, and he is anxious to take on
both of them and prove to the world
that he Is a champion.
Al fulhlls the popular idea of
champion in size, and when he be-
comes champion of the world there
will be nothing in his record or in
his private life that will give just
cause for public regret. He is a clean
gentlemanly fellow, is no rowdy in
manner no bar room loafer, has no
offensive habits and ne'--- has the
finger of suspicion been pointed in his
direction. He has the confidence of
the public in every respect and would
become a popular champion.
l have attempted to outline in the
foregoing statement the reason for my
faith in his future, and / repeat that l
believe that he will be the acknowl-
edged and undisputed champion of the
world within year, and know of
nothing except the lack of an oppor-
tunity to win the title that can pre-
vent him from achieving this result.

quire more than six mnoths, or a year
at most, for them to get together and
settle beyond doubt the question of
who's who in the heavy division.
Whenever Al and Tommy meet to
settle the championship question 1 am
confident that Al will defeat him. The
big boy is developing remarkably fast
now, has all the qualifications of a
champion, and cannot be rushed up the
ladder too fast. He has passed the
apprentice" stage. where it is con-
sidered necessary to match a conner"
with good judgment to prevent sending
him up against too much class before
he is ready for the issue and he now
is ready to be known as a contender
for the title that I believe he will win
within year, at the furthest.
Instead of being a big, green boy
he is a full grown man, just past his
majority, in perfect health, a young
giant in size, a hard-hitting, cool
headed fighter with experience, brains,
two great hands. a reach that is greater
than the ordinary and with proved
courage of the highest type. He re-
Gently has submitted to an operation

of an obstruction that interfered with
his breathing, and, naturally, can stand
a hard smash in the face; and 1 be-
lieve that much of his improved form
can be traced directly to the beneficial
results of that operation.
He has been going along and doing
everything that has been asked of him
since he entered the professional ranks
with one notable exception. 1t may
have been a mistake to send him up

HUNTERS BRING
GOOD REPORTS
EXPERIENCED NIMR0DS HAVE
GREAT SPORT
BRING IN FULL BAGS OF DUCKS
AND QUAIL
Despite UnfavorabIe Stories by Few,
Many sportsmen Continue TO Re-
turn to City with All the
Law Permits

All indications of the 1908 hunting
season of Southern California point to
the fact that it is the persistent hunter
who invariably returns from his hunt
ing trip with what he went out after
the game. Regardless of a general re-
port to the effect that quail are scarce
in these parts, each day finds nimrod
returning with bagful. Although the
law allows each and every licensed
hunter an option on the lives of twenty
five quail, many hunters are content
with enough for a good meal for the
frau and the little ones. This is the
hunter who generally gets the limit and
is only telling the truth when he tells
his neighbor that he got the limit. An
other hunter, perhaps, hunts all day
long and is disgusted with the shooting
conditions because he secured only six
or seven birds, and, of course, shooting
is poor"
Nevertheless, shooting, according to
many experienced hunters, is as good
now in Southern California as it was
last season. One difficulty with most
hunters is the fact that they are un-
acquainted with the habits of the elu-
sive quail. Another, that they do not
know where the bird lives, L. L. Hall
of W. II. Hoegee company, a hunter of
many years experience, stated few
days ago that he never saw such good
shooting in his life as he found during
a three-day trip through San Diego
county. ut would take a man with
good dog only d half hour to get the
lawful limit" said Hall. "I would be
glad to direct anybody to the locality
and give them as much information as
can regarding the local hunting con-
ditions" Hall undoubtedly is the Los
Angeles expert on quail hunting, as he
is a native of the state and has made
a study of the bird since childhood.
Another authority on quail is George
Cline of the Dyas-Cline sporting goods
house. Cline is an enthusiastic hunter
and rarely misses an opportunity to
handle a gun, which he does with e.
pert ability born of knowledge. Every
time a hunter comes to him with the
the way to the upstairs office of the
sporting goods house and shows in
disputable proof that hunting is good
by the means of photographs. on the
backs of these photographs are marked
the date and place taken, the names
of the parties who made the trip and
the number of birds each member of
the party secured. Another fact that
makes the proof unquestionable is that
Cline generally is accompanied by sew
eral prominent business and profess
sional men of Los Angeles, who are so
pleased with the results obtained i'll
company with the young hunter that
they generously assert their willingness
to corroborate the assertion that hunt
ing is good"

WATER POLO LEAGUE
IS TO Be ORGANIZED
Les Henry Arranging to Form Several
Teams. Into an Asso -iation for Ex-
tended Winter Season Play
for Championship

Upon the Il urn of Secretary Leslie
Henry from The north, where he is
boosting the swimming tournament,
water polo in Southern California is
expected to be resumed with vigor. A
new water polo league will be formed,
comprising the following teams: Los
Angeles Athletic club, Venice, Bimini,
Redondo and the Y. NJ. c. A. If sat
isfactory arrangements can be made,
it is probable that Long Beach will
awake to the advantages of water
polo as a crowd gatherer and put a
team in the league to compete with the
other league teams.
A schedule of games will be ar
ranged, the winning team of t., sea-
son to play a northern team at the
end of the season. Secretary Henry of
the Southern California Swimming as

with Stanford and Berkeley, and a re-

that they do not take kindly to the
proposition, although it barely is pos

Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-15

SO far as l am concerned, all that 1
would require of Burns to force me to
accept him as the undisputed heavy
weight champion would be for him to
defeat Kaufman in a battle of sufi-
cient length to permit each of them to
settle beyond question their dispute as
to their individual supremacy l re-
gard them as the only ones entitled to
dispute the right to the abandoned
title. Johnsons claims never have
bothered me. He never has done any
thing to justify the suspicion that he
is the best man in the heavyweight
division, as he never has defeated any
of the near-champions of that division.
His claim upon the consideration of
other heavyweights is based upon the
suspicion that seems generally held by
the sporting public that he can do
things that he never has done and
that he will show class that no fight
he ever put up really would justify
1t is my opinion that Burns will
whip Johnson if they are to fight to a
finish in Australia next month. Burns
hardly would consider a proposition to
and knows that in finish fight he has
the better chance of winning, because
he is game, has the greater stamina,
and possesses a knockout punch that
will put Johnson out of the race for
the title if he ever can put 1t over. l
am not convinced that johnson has the
punch to knock out Burns, and If this
is true a finish fight between them can
have only one ending-victory for
Burns. Johnson has not the class that
is desired in a champion. He is ac-
cused on all sides, and not without
justification, of being the possessor of
a yellow streak. If he has that streak
Burns will develop it whenever he gets
Johnson in the ring. Burns has a bet
ter head on his shoulders than john
son. is speedy and clever enough to be
able to hit Johnson: and when a game.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-15

courageous fighter, possessing all the
essentials of cleverness, speed and the
punch, meets fighter who has a yell
low streak, even though he also has
cleverness, speed and a punch, the
game fighter will Win-nine times in
ten.
Burns has my best wishes for his
success in the battle with Johnson be-
cause 1 want him to eliminate the ne
gro from the contention. l do not be-
lieve in the recognition of the negro
as contender for any championship,
and never sympathiZed with the out
cry for a fight between Burns and
Johnson; but since Burns has accepted
the match, | sincerely hope he will
win. If he should be defeated it would
seriously interfere with my plans for
Kaufman, as AL never will fight a
negro, and no demands" from the
press and public could influence him
to change his ideas regarding a battle
with negro. He always has drawn
the color line, and l indorse his views.
In the event that Burns whips John
son, 1 hope that he will give All a
chance at his title. He will find us
decidedly Indifferent regarding terms,
II anything he proposes is within the
bounes of reason. and there will be
no quarrel between us when il comes
to arranging the details of the match.
b0liSNe lHdl Al mas IOuBnL MS way
up to that position that the public will
demand that Burns fight him if he de-
feats Johnson, and if Tommy wants to
give to the world a new heavyweight
champion, whose title will be abso-
lutely beyond all question and free
from all cloud, he will not hesitate In
giving AL chance to prove whether
he is or is not the peer of all heavy
weights now in the harness, as [ YER
lily believe him to be. Tommy will
return from Australia in a few weeks,
three months at the farthest, and If
he defeats johnson it should not re-

upon the duck question. Ed is a char

acquainted with the habit of a duck as

season, when the shooting was not con-

leave him assured of the fact that he
would rather talk ducks with them
than smoke a two-bit cigar, and he in

is the only man who ever shot ducks
