AID WOLGAST AND
PlCATO MATCHED
DECEMBER IA SET AS DATE OF
BATTLE
MEN WILL MAKE 1873 AT SIX
O'CLOCK
Picato Is Confident of Defeating His
Former Conqueror-LocaI Boy
Immediately viii Go
Into Training
BY CHARLES JERNEGAN

Arrangements were completed by Sec
retary Hancock of the Pacific Athletic
club yesterday evening for what bids
fair to be one of the best lightweight
encounters ever staged at Maud June
tion, when Ad Wolgast and Frank Pi-
cato agreed to meet over the ten-round
route. Should Wolgast be ingloriously
defeated in his battle with Powell on
Monday evening at San Francisco, the
battle may never be staged, but indica-
tions point to the contrary. The fight
probably will be held Tuesday evening,
December IA, the men making 1873 at
& p. m.
Since his defeat at the hands Of the
Milwaukee whirlWind on the evening
of March 30, PicatO has made marked
improvement, and feels confident of
outpOnting il not hanging the fatal
ten on Tom Jones protege. Picato
bases his statement on the game show
ing he made after almost being Knocked
out by WOlgast in the first round.
Coming back with a superhuman effort.
Picato stayed the full ten rounds with
Wolgast, although losing the decision.
Wolgast Confident
Brooks features bore evidence of the
effectiveness of Picato's style of milling
when the former easily took a ten
round decision. Wolgast yesterday cN-
pressed himself as being glad of the
chance to fight before the Angel city
fans. and never hinted that there could
be but one outcome to his battle with
Powell. "Of course ! shall be giving
Powell nine or ten pounds in weight
but / am going after him from the
first. and expect a Knockout Both
Jones and Ad smiled when someone
suggested that it might not be the san
Francisco fighter who would take the
count
Immediately after the fight with
Powell, Wolgast viii leave for Los An
gelcs to so into training for his match
with PiCato. I'VE would rather fight
in Los Angeles than any other city in
the world at the present time said
Jones and Ad srinued. Perhaps he
was thinking Of a little ten-round ar
gument with one Battling Nelson.
Picato viii begin training AT once for
the fight, as Phil Brooks conqueror
row taps the beam at 150 pounds Con-
sistent training, however soon will re-
duce this weight to within striking dis
tance of the 133-pOund mark.

GARRY HERMANN TALKS
ON KLlNG'S RELEASE

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 26.-Presi-
dent August Hermann OF the National
baseball commission, when asked to-
night concerning the proposition for
the release of Catcher King by the
Chicago National league team for
5000 to Philadelphia, said:
"KIing is ineligible at present, but
the commission will take no action in
the matter unless he starts playing
with Philadelphia or some other or
ganized team. Then his case will be
taken up"
Mr.. Hermann said he was unaware
Of any sale of the Philadelphia team
beyond what he had seen in the papers.
He added, however that from con
versation he had had with Charles w.
Murphy, recently, he believed that the
Chicago baseball magnate was inter-
ested.

FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET
SeVenty-fiVe Members and Guests Gel

OFFICIAL COLLECTOR OF
GARBAGE RESIGNS JOB
Negro Claims He Has Lost Money by
Carrying Out Contract for
Refuse

PASADENA. Feb. 2-W. H. Wells,
official collector of garbage for the
city, has resigned his job and the out
look for this much veXed problem is
worse than it was before. For a num-
Der of years Wells has been hauling
the garbage and the city recently pro-
Vided him with two tank wagons but
today the negro kicked over the traces
He was simply unable to handle it with
the present outfit, he declared, and
although the city council tried in ex-
ecutiVe session to induce him to change
his mind, there was nothing doing. -
The resignation stands to take effect
the first of March.
The city will advertise for bids and
will endeavor to secure another man
to take the work, but it is hardly be-
lieved probable the attempt will be sue
cessful. Wells states he has lost money
on the contract for three months and
it is probable the city will be forced
to take the work itself.
There are sections of the city where
the garbage has not been collected fol
a month. The new ordinance requir-
ing people to provide themselves with
metal cans of at least five-gallon ca
pacity is practically a dead letter, as
the health department declares it can
not compel a person to provide more
than one.

EXPECTS TRIANGULAR
RUN FOR MAYORALTY
TWO NOMINEES ALREADY IN
FIELD AT PASADENA
Conference of Political Faction Re-
veaIs Possibility That Councilman
Has Bee Buzzing and May
Conclude to Race

PASADENA, Feb. 2.-With petitions
in the field for the nominations of both
Judge w. H. Magee and A. G. Mer-
riam, and with former Mayor William
Waterhouse and Councilman G. j.
Crandall in secret consultation in the
office of the latter with all doors
locked and a hat hung over the key
hole, it is believed here there would
be a three-cornered fight for the may
orally in Pasadena this spring.
'he supporters of both Mr.. Merriam
and Judge Magee, who is one of the
pioneer residents of the city, are con-
fident they can get their man to run
if there seems a reasonable desire on
the part of the citizens; and the way
signatures are placed on the papers
in circulation a reasonable desire seems
to be indicated.
The Waterhouse faction is close
mouthed as an oyster. Never a whis-
per from that side as yet, although
both the former mayor and the coun-
Gilman have been importuned to tell
everything they know or are thinking
about. 1t probably is a sure thing that
Crandall would take the job if he
thought or can be induced to think
he could be elected And it is just
as certain that a great many people
would like to see him get it. He has
made a record in the council as a man
who is for Pasadena all the time, which
would help some.
Judge Magee has much the same rep
utation among the citizens, and
although he has not declared himself
is considered to favor the ownership
of the water and lighting plants by
the city, an issue which will enter
largely into the campaign if the Wa
terhouse people put forth a candidate.
