will be because the cards arranged by
the two clubs fail of their promise on
paper. Not much in the line of science
is offered, but this is made up for by
the caliber of the boys engaged, and
the fans would rather see slugging than
boxing, anyway.
Manager McCarey will have the first
date of the week with his Tuesday
night card, but for real class the JEFF
fries Athletic club program for Friday
calls for more consideration. McCarey
has as his main event a ten-round no
decision bout between Danny Webster
and Ad Wolgast, and the dope pro-
claims it to be a One-sided affair. VOL
gast whipped Webster without much
trouble when they met before, and has
the Indian sign on Danny to such an
extent that Webster is only figuring
on the losers bit. But Danny and his
friends say it will have a different look
after Tuesday night.
Three days later Wolgast will be
given a real argument, for in Walter
J Little he will face a tough customer.
While he has never appeared before
local audience, and the fans here have
no real line on his ability, Little calls
for lots of consideration, as his scrap
book is full of victories over classy
boys in the east.
WolgaSt will be giving away quite
bit of weight to the newcomer, and 1T
may be that Ad has bitten off big
gec chunk than he can properly masti-
cate. However, the Milwaukee boy
seems to have plenty of confidence in
himself, for he is already mapping out
a plan of action that calls for a vic
tory over Little as the real starter.
Reports from Little's camp in Boyle
Heights say that Walter is regular
bearcatcher. He has been working
against big boys like Jack O'Keefe and
Frank Nelson, but none of them has
been able to stop the determined rushes
which seem to be Little's forte. The
Chicagoan also is possessed Of a fair
amount of defensive ability, and if
Wolgast uses his usual tactics of get
ting in close before fighting he and
Little should put up one of the hardest
fights seen here between little fellows
in months
Sullivan Meets Fisher
The Wolgast-Little argument is by no
r1eans all there is to the Jeffries
clubs card for Friday night, as
frankie Sullivan and Walter Fisher
also are down on the bill for a fifteen
round mill. These little fellows are
prime favoriteS with the fans, and
when either one of them is in the ring
plenty of action is bound to ensue.
When it comes to pitting them against
each other it is a case of the immOva-
bic body and the irresistible force, and
picking a winner is about the hardest
question QueensberrY devotees have
had to solve in a long time.
Fisher is training at Jack DOyle's
place with Wolgast, and every day he
takes an awful humping from the
MilWaukeean in order to get used to
the hardest blows in stock Fisher al
ready has mapped out his campaign of
battle, and if he fights as he trains the
San Berdoo lad is bound to give Sui
livan the toughest argument that
youngster has yet experienced. The
race track money is making Sullivan
favorite in the betting, but Fisher has
plenty of friends and lots of coin will
change hands on the result.
In addition to the. Fisher-Sullivan
and Little-Wolgast fights Manager
Long is on the lookout for ten-round
curtain raiser with which to inaugu-
rate the doings at Vernon. The big
fellow is always particular with his
preliminary talent, as past successes
Indicate and when he finally does hook
a pair undoubtedly will get the best in
the market.
All four boys who are signed to meet
at Vernon will work out at their re-
spective camps today and busy doings
are anticipated. WOlgaSt and Fisher
Little will stage an extensive program
at the Mount Pleasant Athletic club,
in Boyle Heights. Sullivan is scheduled
as the center of attraction in Arcadia,
81 there is plenty of variety from which
the Queensberry enthusiasts can
choose for their Sunday sport.
Manager Long has decided on popu-
lar prices for his show, and the big
shed at Vernon doubtless will be filed
with those who like decisions from the
ring for their money. There has been
a dearth of long distance scraps since
the first of the year, so the Vernon re-
opening will be welcomed.
Take Webster Seriously
With Danny Webster trained down
to a fine point for his bout Tuesday
evening at McCarey's pavilion, the wise
ones do not look for the easy victory
for Ad Wolgast which that young man
predicts will be the result from the
meeting of the pair.
Webster is in much better shape than
when he fought the Milwaukee boy be-
fore, and all the critics agree that
Danny had the better of the contest for
the first ten rounds. AS the bout is
limited Tuesday to this number of ses-
Sions, the fans figure that with Danny
going at a lightning pace he will be
able to Outpoint Wolgast, if he does not
put him out.
Wolgast pooh-poohs all these predic-
tions and relies on his superior strength
to put Danny away. Abe AttelI said
after he had fought the youngster that
WOlgaSt was the strongest kid he ever
tackled, and he will give an exhibition
Of his power when he meets Webster.
The fans are considerably stirred UP
over the battle, for they realize that
II any case they will see one of the
fastest fights that has been staged in
The Maud pavilion for many months.
Besides the main event, the prelimin-
aries are attractive. Frank Nelson and
Dick Given certainly will put up a fast
bout over the siX-round route. Both
boys are solidly built and are hitters
rom the word go. They have made
good in the Los Angeles ring so far,
and meeting of the pair has been an
icipated by patrons of the game for
some time. Nelson's great hit when
le put Andrews to the mat for the
,ount has made him popular idol, and
he fans are glad that he has an oppor-
unity to show what is in him with a
white man for an opponent.
Fast Work Expected
Next in Importance comes the bout
between Jack Redmond and the Hoos-
er Kid. Although Redmond was de-
Gated by Lauder last Tuesday evening
le was not disgraced, for he made it
lively for Lauder during the first round,
vhen he had his opponent groggy and
learly out. Hoosier Kid has been scar
ng ell the 135-pound boys by the way
le has handled those whom he has
Get, but Redmond is not afraid of an
rgument, and the six sessions should
how some fast work. Redmond is
