though at present he has no match in
sight The clever little conqueror of
Phil Brock appeared around the sport
ing headquarters without a mark on
his face to show that he had been
through twenty-five rounds of fierce
milling only twenty-four hours previ-
ously. He was as bright and quietly
courteous as before the battle, and was
perfectly free in talking over his plans.
Il am particularly anxious to meet
Joe Cans" says the little Briton. Il
think l can best him in any distance,
and would like to get him on after his
meeting with Battling Nelson. | have

promising lightweight, but as there Is
nothing definite In the offer l Will not

want to stick to the Jeffries club and TO
Los Angeles, where l have been treated
like prince. 1 would like to go on for

able in victorious fighters, and one or
the most Objectionable features of the
fight game. He Is the same subdued
little English lad, with the same gentle
manner, and he takes no glory in his
defeat of game little Phil Brock.
Welsh Compliments Brock
'sThat lad is a mighty game little
chap, and l hated to pound his face TO
pieces, but L had to do it by all the
rules of the game. He was not fast
enough for me, and l soon solved his
style, but he was as tough man as
ever met, not even excepting Packey
Mcfarland. At present / will remain
in my quarters at Vernon, with my
sister,"
The management of the Jeffries Attn
letic club will now go ahead with the
preparations for the next battle, Wnlch
will be staged Saturday afternoon, June
20. This fight will be a meeting OF
Charlie Dalton and Frank Carsey, as
was arranged several days ago, when
Carsey was signed to meet the winner
of the Sullivan-Dalton go.
1t was originally intended to make
this an evening battle, but so popular
proved the afternoon program that
Baron Long has decided to shift the date
to an afternoon meeting. Both Carsey
and Dalton are in great shape already,
as the former had a fight about two
weeks ago. and the latter was not IN
jured in Saturdays battle.
This will be Dalton's first appearance
as a main event fighter, and the fans
feel that he deserved the honor. to the
full The little Sphaghetti kid has
never been given a real chance at a
classy fighter, or If he was offered the
match he always pulled out, probably
feeling that he was outclassed. rms
battel with Sullivan should give MN
great confidence, and If he keeps a cool
head and does not become puHed up,
the kid has mighty good chance OF
making a mark in his division.
Dalton Needs Long Route
Dalton is the kind of a fighter who
needs a long route to show his real
class. as was demonstrated Saturday
afternoon, and he showed that he is a
lightweight when put on IN
an affair of real class. Should he get
away with Carsey, the kid has bril-
liant future before him, for ne Is as
game as they come, and has the nee
essary wallop.
If his new venture proves successful,
Long will hand out most of his good
cards to the afternoon patrons. Inc
fact that the big Vernon mitt emporl-
um is adapted to performances of the
kind has a lot to do with the manager s
decision in this regard, for he is fully
aware that the boxing enthusiasts
would rather have the bright sunlight
shining down on the gladiators than
the glare of electric arcs.
No preliminary has been arranged TOT
the Carsey-Dalton bout, but the Jef-
fries club promoters are on the lookout
for some real class to dish up as cur
take the best of the local pork and
heaners and rush them to the front II
they show any promise of being any
thing better than preliminary boys.
