IN HE heavyweight boys, AL Kauf-
mann and Jim Flynn, who are to
Il be the card at McCarey's pavilion
August 25, are having a hard time
getting sparring partners, and for sew
eral days have been forced to cut out
all boxing. This does not operate as
much to the disadvantage of kauf-
mann as to Flynn, as Billy Delaney
never did believe in too much of the
boxing portion of a fighters training
work. Kaufman is sufficiently clever
to fight Flynn without much boxing
in training, but Flynn certainly should
have a rough house partner who could
loosen him up bit and gif@ him that
rough work that he needs and desires.
Jim wins his fights by rough house
fighting and this makes it necessary for
him to have a strong sparring part
ner. Neither of the big boys did any
boxing yesterday, although Kaufman
made a pretense at it by going three
rounds with Kid Trendall, the st. Louis
lightweight Both went several miles
on the road and did the usual gymna-
sium stunts at the pulleys, weights and
punching bag, and did considerable
shadow boxing. Despite the lack OF
sparring partners, both appear to be
coming along nicely in their training,
and neither expects to be handicapped
a bit because of lack of boxing. Both
expect a hard, grueling fight and are
training more for condition than for
the development of cleverness, speed
or a punch. 1t will be case of stand
I'D and slam away with them. 1t should
be an attractive affair all the way and
ten rounds should be sufficient to fur
nish a decisive winner.

[. A. A. {. GOSSIP

A MONG the many members who are
"a picked as likely to win the long
IA distance run to Venice is George
Retzer, who, in addition to being one
of the best liked members of the club,
is the amateur champion lightweight
wrestler of Southern California George
also is an all-round athlete and an ex-
ceptionally good oarsman Tor MS
weight. He was a member or the crew
that defeated the San Diego Rowing
club four-oar crew in September, 1907.
Although rather light for place in the
shell, he almost equalizes the handicap
by his strength, which is something to
be wished for and feared. George mas
been training hard for the coming race,
almost too hard, and in the estimation
of a few of the boys already has his
name engraved on The Herald cup.
There were more members in the
smoking room than there were in the
gymnasium during the noon hour, a
condition that is somewhat rare at the
club. This fact, however, might be ac-
counted for when it is stated that Roy
Swaine played handball and ran around
the gymnasium, and that on account
of this there was not enough room for
the other boys.
Among the members who worked out
in the noon class yesterday were Rich
ard Retzer, George Retzer, Roy SWa1ne,
Jim Routzahn, Nordltnger, ISaacs,
Maurier and Clark.
Robert Brain kindly has consented
to allow the use of his automobile by
the officials during the run to Venice
next week. He also will take couple
of the officials of the race over the
course today, to allow them to become
familiar with the turns and to place
men at the different turns.
In all probability there win be an
other change in the course OF the race
to Venice. Whatever the change, it
will be announced today.
Members who are entered in the run
to Venice are requested to procure
uniform suit consisting Of gym shirt,
with the emblem of the club and pair
of white running pants. These should
be procured before Friday, August II,
as the entrants are requested to meet
in the gymnasium at noon of that day
and have their photographs made by
a photographer who will be on hand,
also to receive Instructions regarding
the race.
The fact that many of the boys who
are entered in the race are training too
hard has been brought to the attention
of the veteran instructor, Dewitt G.
Van Court. Van said yesterday: "a
runner who Is training for a race
should not run more than a third of
the distance while in training. Many
of the boys are OVERRIDING 1t by running
six or seven miles every day. I advise
them to run three days a week, and
the other dave 20 put in the gymnasium
in strengthening the upper part Of the
body. They will find that on the day
Of the race they will not be in 1t be-
trof hard IF
anybody on the Pacific coast is capable
Of givin~ good advice, it certainly is
Dewitt @. Van Court. Think it over,
GatIaua.
